Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

With his newly enhanced abilities, Su Ming brought everyone from Spirit City to Jialing Pass in under half a day using his space-bending technique, Kamui.

Upon arrival at the Wuhun Empire's stronghold, a Titled Douluo stationed at the gate sensed the powerful presence of the arrivals. Recognizing Bibi Dong and the others, he quickly knelt and greeted them, "Welcome, Your Majesty, Great Worshiper, and His Highness the Holy Son..."

Bibi Dong asked plainly, "What's the current situation?"

The Titled Douluo replied, "According to Min Hall's scouts, the Tiandou Empire has amassed at least 500,000 soldiers here at Jialing Pass, while the Xingluo Empire has sent 300,000 troops. For our side, the Wuhun Empire has a force of 12,000 soul masters led by the Power Clan, the Defense Clan, the Angel Legion, the Holy Dragon Legion, and other elite units including the Seven Treasures Hall and Blue Lightning Hall."

Su Ming silently calculated that Jialing Pass must indeed be vast to hold an army of 800,000. Their own troops were fewer in number, but each was a well-trained elite. With the Power and Defense Clans and Elephant Armored Sect acting as the heavy front-line, the other soul masters could provide powerful support from behind, amplified by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan's support soul masters, ensuring a dominant advantage.

Just then, the four Hall Chiefs arrived and, upon seeing Su Ming, smiled in greeting.

"Holy Son, you've returned from Seagod Island?" White Crane looked hesitant to speak up in the presence of such powerful figures.

Su Ming chuckled, "What's wrong? It's only been a few months. White Crane, don't worry—Xiang Xiang has made great progress on Seagod Island. My return today is to put an end to this war!"

The gathered leaders brightened at this announcement. The war had dragged on for months, and now the end seemed near.

Turning to Lou Gao, Su Ming asked curiously, "Lou Gao, how many soul tools has the Forging Hall produced in the last few months?"

Lou Gao responded with a grin, "Your Highness, given our limited time, we tailored soul tools to each unit's specific roles. Min Hall and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan have been fully equipped with high-end soul-charged firearms, while the heavy armor units are outfitted with defensive soul tools to bolster their protection. And, of course, other soul masters have received the basic level of soul-charged weapons."

"Oh, and this was our final production—this might be helpful for you all," Lou Gao said, pulling out a set of items from a storage soul tool.

"A...milk bottle?" Su Ming exclaimed in surprise. "Lou Gao, I can't believe you managed to make spirit energy bottles! That's amazing!"

The elders, including Qian Daoliu, looked puzzled, while Golden Crocodile Douluo asked impatiently, "Su Ming, a milk bottle is a soul tool?"

Su Ming explained with a laugh, "Second Worshiper, this bottle is unlike any regular one—it's a soul tool that restores spirit power, the opposite of a soul-charged firearm."

The elders were stunned. As experienced warriors, they immediately understood the strategic value of an item that could replenish spirit power. In battle, a soul master with such a tool would have a distinct advantage in drawn-out engagements.

Taking five of the spirit energy bottles from Lou Gao, Su Ming distributed them to the lower-ranked worshipers who would join the battle. Then, he turned to White Crane.

"White Crane, please have Min Hall keep close watch on the enemy's movements. Report any suspicious activity immediately. We'll wait until nightfall before making our move."

Their forces consisted mainly of soul masters who, at higher levels, had more acute senses, which would give them an edge in nighttime combat.

However, the scouts hadn't detected any sign of the Clear Sky Clan, a fact Su Ming wasn't pleased about. He thought to himself, "Let's hope Tang Yuehua does her part. If the Clear Sky Clan shows up, I'll be merciful enough to leave Tang Yuehua intact, so she can join Tang Hao in the afterlife."

Su Ming: I really am a kind person.

As night fell, Su Ming frowned—Tang Yuehua hadn't managed to bring the Clear Sky Clan to the battlefield. So be it. This was still the perfect time to attack, and the Clear Sky Clan's absence was their lucky break.

Bidding farewell to Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, Su Ming moved to the fortress wall, where he found Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo waiting.

"Uncle Ning, Sword Grandfather, Bone Grandfather, sorry to keep you waiting."

Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly. "It's only been a few months, yet your life energy has grown so much. I take it Seagod Island treated you well? How goes your Life Trial?"

The three had arrived at Jialing Pass just before dusk and stationed themselves at the wall. Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan had become affiliated with the Wuhun Empire, they retained a certain degree of autonomy and didn't need to report to Bibi Dong directly—a special courtesy granted by her.

In turn, Su Ming shared the purpose of his return and updated them on Ning Rongrong's progress.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't disappoint!" Ning Fengzhi said, grinning. "Oh, and by the way, we never had the chance to thank you properly. Thanks to the celestial herbs you gifted us, I reached level 89 after gaining my eighth soul ring, and after some intense training, I recently advanced to level 90. I used the divine-bestowed soul ring you left, and now I have two excellent soul skills."

Su Ming responded with a smile, "No need for thanks, Uncle Ning. You all helped me back then, so this is only right. Just stay here and keep an eye on things while I handle the rest. I want to see just how far I've progressed these past few months, and it'll help me complete my Life Trial along the way."

The three shared a glance, smiling with relief. Su Ming's easygoing demeanor had remained unchanged despite his growing power. They were glad to see that Rongrong had such a capable partner.
