Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

"Su Ming, are you sure... this is okay?" Hu Liena asked hesitantly, feeling slightly embarrassed. Although she and Su Ming were on good terms, their relationship hadn't reached such a close level. She was already immensely grateful that Su Ming had shared the body-strengthening technique with her, helping her prepare for the trials ahead.

While aboard the ship, she had even thought of offering herself to him, but finding the right moment was nearly impossible. In just under twenty days, Su Ming had grown closer with Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, and Dugu Yan, among others. His nights had been filled, leaving her without an opportunity.

If she were to follow her heart, she would willingly give herself to him—not because of any external obligation, but simply because Su Ming was exactly her type. He was strong, handsome, and, as she'd heard, had an impressive command of spirit tools as well.

Su Ming shook his head. "This is for all of us to succeed in this trial. Staying stuck at level 70 might not slow down your progress too much, but breaking through with your seventh ring will be a huge benefit overall."

Seeing Su Ming's resolve, Hu Liena gratefully accepted his gift.

Just then, Seahorse Douluo, passing by, noticed the divine-bestowed spirit ring in Su Ming's hand and was taken aback. "Su Ming, is that... a divine-bestowed spirit ring?"

Su Ming replied nonchalantly, "It is. Why?"

"Wait… aren't you just starting the trials? How could you have a divine-bestowed ring already?" Seahorse Douluo asked, bewildered, recalling that he had received one from the Sea God after completing a black-level four trial.

Su Ming replied, "Seahorse Douluo, there are things you needn't worry about. Just know that I have one."

Awkwardly, Seahorse Douluo nodded, realizing he'd overstepped by asking too much.

"Hu Liena, go ahead and absorb the spirit ring. Remember, endure as long as you can; go for a full 100,000-year ring! We'll guard you here."

100,000 years?

Hu Liena's heart raced; had Su Ming somehow guessed her secret? Since he'd brought it up, she no longer saw the point in hiding. After all, the spirit ring's color couldn't be disguised during the absorption process. Settling for anything less than a high age spirit ring would only be a waste.

Little did she know, Su Ming had said this deliberately to prevent her from downplaying her abilities and wasting the opportunity.

As Hu Liena began the absorption, her aura surged, and the ring's color shifted to a deep black, intensifying over the next few minutes and gradually beginning to show hints of red.

The commotion quickly attracted the other Sacred Pillar guardians and Bo Saixi.

Seeing the phenomenon from afar, Sea Dragon Douluo approached with a frown. "What's going on?"

Seahorse Douluo filled him in briefly, though Bo Saixi cut off any further questions with a cold, "Nothing you need to know."

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded, "Understood, High Priest."

Bo Saixi observed the scene calmly, unsurprised that Hu Liena's seventh ring would reach 100,000 years. For three months now, Su Ming had been live-streaming constantly, and thanks to the rewards, each of them had enhanced their ring ages and improved their cultivation speed.

In a moment of distraction, Hu Liena's seventh ring fully transformed into a brilliant red. Yet she still seemed to be struggling, trembling under the strain. Just as she was about to give in, a wave of exhilarating power surged through her—Su Ming's spirit skill.

"With my spirit skill's boost, hang in there a bit longer; the higher the ring's age, the stronger your seventh spirit ability will be!"

The guardians were amazed as they witnessed Su Ming's auxiliary spirit skill for the first time, marveling at the powerful life energy that no doubt warranted a goddess of life's inheritance.

Finally, Hu Liena's seventh ring stabilized at around 150,000 years. With his power alone, Su Ming had effectively elevated her physique by fifty percent.

Just as they thought the absorption was complete, a radiant pink light burst from Hu Liena, revealing her true spirit—a bewitching fox with multiple tails. The tails shifted before everyone's eyes, multiplying until they stopped at seven, each one adding an aura of allure and mystique to her spirit.

"This charm… it's almost on par with mine!" Sea Witch Douluo remarked in awe.

Bo Saixi wasn't surprised by Hu Liena's spirit evolution into a Seven-Tailed Enchantress Fox; it was likely one of the rewards from Su Ming's streams. However, she suspected it still wasn't its final form.

Suddenly, a faint red mist began rising within a ten-meter radius around Hu Liena.

"A domain!" exclaimed the Sacred Pillar guardians.

Among them, only those particularly skilled or insightful had domains, so to see Hu Liena possess one wasn't entirely shocking—especially with a 150,000-year spirit ring.

But soon, they felt an unexpected heat stirring within, and the weakest among them, Sea Ghost Douluo, began to experience illusions, seeing visions of beautiful women surrounding him. As he was about to act on these fantasies, Sea Witch and Sea Illusion Douluo intervened, jolting him back to reality.

"Stay focused! This is a charm domain. Falling for it would be embarrassing, and who knows what hidden effects might be waiting!" Sea Witch said with a serious tone.
