Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

That power was like an ant even when she was at her peak, let alone now that she is still in the recovery period.

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on the aggrieved-looking auspicious beast, and an idea instantly formed in her mind.

It's not impossible for the auspicious beast to go see Lin Ye.

……

Inside the train carriage, Lin Ye's thoughts continued to flow through his diary.

To be honest, our current strength is still a bit lacking.

His soul power is only level 29, which is a bit embarrassing to admit. Only his two ten-thousand-year soul rings can save face.

The first martial soul, the Xuanjin Staff, has a solid foundation, and the second martial soul has an even higher potential. However, if the soul power cannot keep up, even the best martial soul cannot unleash much power.

The 100,000-year-old Titan Ape right arm bone in my hand is an excellent item, but unfortunately it's not the right time to absorb it yet.

I need to wait until my soul power level is higher, otherwise, with my current body, I could easily be overwhelmed and exploded by the violent power within the soul bone.

Thankfully, there's the Everlasting Spring Technique; this technique is truly outrageous.

Not only can it enhance appearance and temperament, but it can also comprehensively improve aptitude, cultivation speed, and even lifespan—it's practically a hexagonal, all-around cultivation technique.

Shrek Academy, Dormitory.

Xiao Xiao was holding her books when a diary entry suddenly popped into her mind, making her eyes widen in surprise.

Such a powerful technique?!

Not only can it increase cultivation speed, but it can also improve aptitude and extend lifespan? That's too incredible!

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but cover her mouth, her heart filled with shock and envy. When Lin Ye came to Shrek Academy, she would definitely get to know this amazing younger brother.

……

Lin Ye silently thought: Calculate today's rewards.

[Diary entries successfully settled!]

[Today's Reward: Soul Power Level Increased by Three Levels!]

[Reward: Two 10-year spirit rings, which can automatically adapt to the martial soul and have no backlash!]

[Reward: Changchun Technique breaks through to the Lesser Completion stage!]

A series of notification sounds exploded in his mind. Lin Ye suddenly opened his eyes, almost unable to keep his expression in check, and cursed inwardly.

Holy crap! This is a mini-explosion today!

Sure enough, the more content you wrote in your diary, the more generous the reward!

Normally there would only be one or two rewards a day, but today there were three in a row, and they were all rare and highly sought-after items!

If his soul power increases by three levels, he can directly break through from level 29 to level 32 Soul Master! He also has two 10-year soul rings!

It should be noted that even a Title Douluo might not have a single 10-year soul ring, yet this diary directly provided two, and they were automatically attached without any backlash!

Not to mention that he has already achieved minor success in the Everlasting Spring Technique, which will allow his cultivation speed and aptitude to reach a new level in the future!

Lin Ye took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging excitement in his heart, and did not immediately claim the reward.

No, you absolutely cannot receive it now.

Although this soul-guided carriage has the function of isolating soul power fluctuations, there is still Wang Dong'er inside the carriage, not to mention the middle-aged man driving outside.

Lin Ye could tell with his toes that the person was definitely a top expert, at least a Super Douluo of level 95 or above.

Please, what is Wang Dong'er's status? She is the apple of Da Ming Er Ming's eye. Their daughter went all the way to study at Shrek Academy. Nobody would believe they didn't provide her with a top-notch bodyguard.

If they were to claim the reward now, their soul power would increase by three levels, and they would be granted two 10-year soul rings. The commotion would definitely attract the attention of half the soul masters in the city, not to mention keeping it a secret from Wang Dong'er in the carriage and the mysterious expert outside.

Chapter 23 exposes Zhang Lexuan, Tang Ya breaks down.

Lin Ye suppressed the thought of claiming the reward, closed his eyes again, and had already made up his mind.

Two days later, when he reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, he would find an excuse to break away from the main group, find a completely secluded place, and collect all the rewards.

When my strength increases dramatically, I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest and retrieve the remnant soul of Electrolux.

Wang Dong'er, who was on the other side, had already seen the reward details in the diary and was completely stunned.

Soul power increased by three levels directly?! Two 10-year soul rings?! The Everlasting Spring Technique directly reached minor completion?!

This reward is amazing!

After the initial shock, her unease returned, and she puffed out her cheeks, glaring fiercely at Lin Ye again.

Even with such a great reward, you can't leave me behind!

Lin Ye opened his eyes, stretched, and met Wang Dong'er's angry gaze. He was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

What's wrong with this girl? Why does she act like I owe her tens of thousands of gold soul coins?

He was about to ask a question when Wang Dong'er snorted, turned her head sharply, and showed him her beautiful back of the head, completely ignoring him.

Lin Ye touched his nose, feeling a little helpless, but didn't think much of it and closed his eyes to rest again.

……

On the second day of their journey to Shrek Academy, the trip was smooth sailing, and the equipment of the soul-guided carriage was truly exceptional.

The cushions are soft, the tea is kept at a constant temperature, and even the snacks are varied daily. There's not a single fault with my daily life. The only problem is that I'm running out of material for my diary.

Wang Dong'er, who was sitting by the window opposite, had just picked up a piece of osmanthus cake with her fingertips when this diary entry popped into her mind.

She paused, secretly glancing at Lin Ye across from her who was resting with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

This guy, yesterday he was plotting how to find an excuse to ditch me, and today he's worried about not having anything to write in his diary? So, neither I nor the scenery along the way can provide you with enough material for a diary entry?

I can't just throw together a random, hasty post, can I? No, no, absolutely not.

The rewards for writing in my diary are not just for show; the more substantial and informative the content, the more generous the reward.

If you just throw together a few random lines to get by, you probably won't even get the minimum guaranteed increase in soul power, which would be a huge loss.

Forget about anything else, I still need to look at my fixed resource library, Shrek Academy, for materials.

There's just so much to say about this place. If I were to break it down and write about it all, I could go on for a year and a half without repeating myself. It's a lifesaver for my diary. From now on, whenever I don't know what to write, writing about Shrek is always a safe bet.

In the far north, when Xue Di saw the update in her diary, her beautiful eyes were filled with doubt. Could this legendary number one academy on the continent really be a place where filth and corruption were hidden?

The Ice Emperor next to them was also very puzzled. Shrek Academy's reputation was well-known even to them, and its reputation was excellent, like a holy land for cultivation.

Shrek Academy may not be immune to some underhanded dealings, but it's not as bad as Lin Ye described, is it?

With these questions in mind, I read the updated diary again.

There's one thing I couldn't understand when reading the original novel: why is the highest authority at Shrek Academy called the Sea God Pavilion?

Tang San did indeed graduate from Shrek Academy, no one denies that, but from beginning to end he never served as the dean or vice dean of Shrek Academy, nor even as a guest lecturer.

To put it bluntly, he was just a top student who later did well in life.

Just because this one student became a god after graduation, does that mean the entire academy's highest decision-making body should be renamed after his divine title?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

This is ridiculous. To put it bluntly, it's like I founded a sect and painstakingly trained seven top-talented disciples.

One of my disciples later became a god by chance, so am I supposed to change the entire sect's rules, titles, and even the highest authority to conform to that disciple's image? What kind of logic is that?

[No matter how grand the story goes, Tang San is just one of countless graduates from Shrek Academy. Even if he achieves great things, it's not enough to make the entire academy revolve around him for the next ten thousand years, is it?]

In Shrek City, Tang Ya, who was shopping with Bei Bei, saw an update in her diary and quickly checked it.

After seeing the content, he fell into deep thought. She was the leader of the Tang Sect, and Lin Yeju's example was a perfect fit for her.

She began to conceive of what she would do if the Tang Sect produced an outstanding disciple, who might even become a god. Would she then change the name of the Tang Sect, as well as the council of elders and other related institutions, to reflect that disciple's name or achievements?

She didn't even need to think. No, it definitely wouldn't work. The Tang Clan would always be the Tang Clan, and its internal structure would always remain the same as it was originally. How could it be changed?

But after thinking about it this way, she also felt that Shrek Academy was indeed a bit strange.

The specific details are impossible to verify, after all, there is a ten-thousand-year time gap between Douluo Continent I and Douluo Continent II.

How many unknown things happened in those ten thousand years? The original author didn't write them down, how am I supposed to know?

Wait, I think I forgot an important person.

Speaking of celebrities in Shrek Academy's inner court, besides the passionate and powerful Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao, there's also the gentle and dignified Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.

However... I feel a bit uncomfortable. I can accept the other female leads without feeling guilty, but I just can't bring myself to do it to Zhang Lexuan.

It's not because of her appearance—Zhang Lexuan is naturally top-tier in looks—but because I can't accept that she was Beibei's childhood sweetheart.

If I were to still have designs on someone else's child bride, putting aside whether I'm even human, the fact that she has that status makes it impossible for me to do it. I'm not so desperate as to be indiscriminate.

Another point is about age. Although she is indeed a bit old by ordinary standards, the lifespan of a Soul Master is different from that of an ordinary person. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the lifespan.

Being in one's twenties or thirties is still considered youth among Soul Masters; by Soul Master age standards, they're actually not that old.

Speaking of Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, I have to say that there is a lot of dross in the Douluo Continent book.

Forget about being obsessed with love, forget about remnants of slavery; in Zhang Lexuan's story, there's even a scene involving a child bride. I was completely dumbfounded when I first saw it.

The diary entries had just been updated when Tang Ya, who was shopping with Bei Bei, suddenly shuddered, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably.
