Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

"No!"

The Devil Orca King's eyes filled with despair before he fell silent. The other orcas, witnessing their king's defeat, panicked and tried to flee, but they were bound tightly by Su Ming's Wood Shield, unable to move.

"Wood Shield: Diamond Wood Summoning!"

In an instant, tough branches sprang up across the ocean's surface, slapping down the Devil Orcas. Within moments, the battle between the orcas and the sharks came to an end.

Xiao Bai: …

All the girls: …

Su Ming withdrew his Spirit Avatar and stood back on Xiao Bai's back.

"Bing'er, go ahead and absorb the Devil Orca King's spirit ring. I'll be here to support you; everything should go smoothly."

Without hesitation, Shui Bing'er summoned the Devil Orca King's 100,000-year spirit ring and began her absorption process atop a Devil Spirit Great White Shark.

Xiao Bai, watching from nearby, was awestruck. "Su Ming, your Spirit Avatar is terrifying! It has the aura of a true dragon. But… why does your dragon form seem so different from others?"

Su Ming replied coolly, "That's because you haven't seen a true dragon spirit. Those dragons you see with long limbs and wings might count as dragons, but they're closer to subdragons."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—is their spirit a subdragon too?" Xiao Bai asked, confused.

In her understanding, subdragons were hybrids of true dragon bloodlines mixed with other species. Wait… by Su Ming's definition, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit might indeed count as a subdragon since it didn't carry a pure dragon bloodline.

In Su Ming's mind, calling the dragon spirits of Douluo Continent "subdragons" was already generous. He could have called them "four-legged lizards."

The Eastern dragon lineage, in Su Ming's eyes, was the truest dragon form, incomparable to those four-legged "dragons" of the West.

With Su Ming and Ning Rongrong assisting her, Shui Bing'er successfully absorbed the Devil Orca King's spirit ring, boosting her power from level 60 to level 67—a tremendous leap!

Delighted, Shui Bing'er walked over to Su Ming. "Su Ming, I succeeded! And here, this spirit bone—it's yours."

She handed over the 100,000-year leg bone, but Su Ming shook his head. "You should absorb this spirit bone yourself. The best effects come when the same spirit beast's ring and bone are absorbed by one person."

"But… it feels a bit greedy to take both a 100,000-year ring and spirit bone…"

While she was clearly tempted, Shui Bing'er felt conflicted. Her accomplishments were largely thanks to Su Ming, and she didn't want to take advantage. After all, even among Su Ming's close companions, she felt that her connection with him wasn't as deep as with some others.

Xiao Wu and the others, understanding her hesitation, encouraged her, "Bing'er, just follow Su Ming's advice and take it. We'll have our turn for spirit bones later."

With her friends' reassurance, Shui Bing'er accepted the spirit bone and began absorbing it. Soon after, her spirit power rose again, reaching level 70!

The speed of her growth was unheard of.

Xiao Bai, observing from nearby, was left speechless and cast a bewildered glance at Su Ming. "Su Ming, I just don't get you. To hand over a 100,000-year spirit bone so easily…"

She felt she had never truly understood Su Ming. Ordinary people would do anything for a 100,000-year spirit bone, yet he simply gave it away, and the others accepted it without jealousy or complaints.

"Alright, now that Bing'er has finished her absorption, let's head back to Sea God Island. Once we're there, we'll work on her seventh spirit ring. Being out on the open sea for too long isn't ideal."

Back on Sea God Island, Su Ming stayed with Shui Bing'er as she absorbed her seventh spirit ring. Given that her Ice Phoenix spirit was superior to Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix, her spirit should naturally evolve once she reached the Spirit Sage level.

With Su Ming's help, Shui Bing'er managed to boost her God-bestowed spirit ring's age to an astounding 150,000 years.

Roar!

As she completed her seventh ring, Shui Bing'er transformed into a majestic, seven-headed Ice Phoenix, soaring in the sky. Her ice element had fully evolved into Ultimate Ice, granting her a Phoenix Domain.

No one felt the surge in her strength more than Xiao Bai, who cowered in the ocean, shivering. She couldn't believe her eyes, feeling overwhelmed by everything she had witnessed that day.

"Bing'er, calm down your Spirit Avatar and domain! You're about to scare Xiao Bai to death," Su Ming called to Shui Bing'er, who hovered above.

He was equally impressed. Shui Bing'er's abilities had grown substantially—her spirit evolved, she gained a domain, and her ice attribute reached Ultimate Ice.

While his Ultimate Wood was equally powerful, Ultimate Ice surpassed it in raw destructive capability, offering control and explosive force. His wood attribute, however, excelled at regeneration and sustenance.

This commotion reached Bo Saixi, who was meditating in the Sea God Temple. Sensing Shui Bing'er's immense growth, Bo Saixi realized that within a single day, her level had risen from 60 to 75, overtaking even Xiao Wu and matching Hu Liena!

"Well, since the Devil Orca King is defeated, I suppose I'll return to the mainland tomorrow. I'll need to, or this third trial may really become impossible," Su Ming said thoughtfully.

Hearing his decision, Shui Bing'er and the others assured him, "Don't worry about us. We'll protect ourselves well here on Sea God Island."
