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

Before he could recover from his elation, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding! New player gift pack bonus distributed: One complete "Changchun Jue" martial arts manual]

Changchun Jue: A martial arts technique from a mid-tier martial arts world

Endless information about cultivation techniques flooded into Lin Ye's mind in an instant, as if it were engraved into the depths of his soul. Every word and every incantation was crystal clear.

He only glanced at it, but instantly understood how terrifying this technique was.

As its name suggests, cultivating it can not only greatly increase lifespan, but also evolve martial soul, purify bloodline, and bring all sorts of benefits. It is many levels higher than Tang San's basic Xuan Tian Gong!

Lin Ye suddenly jumped out of bed, his clenched fists trembling slightly with excitement, his eyes filled with undisguised ecstasy.

If Tang San could cultivate all the way to God King with just an ordinary Xuan Tian Gong, then he should have started at the level of Dragon God!

The anxiety, confusion, and helplessness I felt before vanished at that moment.

He felt the surging soul power within him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up wildly.

He doesn't want to eat beef!

Chapter 3 Martial Soul Evolution, Second Martial Soul: Golden Dragon King

The soaring golden light pierced through the Haotian Sect's protective array in an instant, and the domineering dragon's might swept across the entire mountain range like a tsunami.

A moment later, all the strange phenomena vanished without a trace, as if the earth-shattering aura just now was merely a collective illusion.

Even if it was only for a moment, it was enough to shake the entire Haotian Sect.

In the inner sect area, the stone doors of dozens of secluded cultivation chambers exploded simultaneously, and the sect elders, whose cultivation level was at least Soul Douluo, were almost instantly thrown into the air.

The vast divine sense spread out like a tidal wave, sweeping over every inch of the Haotian Sect, inside and out, no less than ten times.

Deep within the sect, in the Great Ming Dynasty, Er Ming's earth-shattering divine sense swept across every corner, attempting to find the source of the strange movement just now.

That aura was too terrifying, too domineering, carrying a bloodline pressure that surpassed all living beings. Even though it only flashed by for a moment, it still made their hearts tremble.

However, after carefully scanning all the areas, they found nothing unusual.

Only one person accurately pinpointed the direction of the source the instant the strange phenomenon dissipated.

Wang Dong'er frowned deeply, her azure eyes filled with solemnity as she stared intently at the direction where the golden light had completely dissipated—the outermost area of ​​the Haotian Sect.

Although the Haotian Sect is a secluded sect headquarters, it is not isolated from the world.

This place has long since developed a complete ecosystem, much like a bustling city outside, with a strict hierarchical division.

The inner sect is the residence of the sect's core disciples and high-ranking members, and it gathers the sect's most outstanding talents and resources.

The outer sect is where ordinary outer sect disciples, affiliated families, and servants live. It is a mixed bag and the least noticed corner of the entire Haotian Sect.

No one from the sect would have connected the terrifying phenomenon that had alarmed the two beast kings with the seemingly insignificant outer sect. But Wang Dong'er was different.

Instantly, the image of the boy named Lin Ye and the diary she had unexpectedly found, filled with unbelievable content, flashed into her mind.

The diary clearly states that he is bound to a magical diary system. Completing daily check-in records will earn him incredible rewards, and the "newbie gift pack" he mentioned that is about to be released will bring him an opportunity that will change his destiny.

The golden light that shot into the sky and the domineering aura that flashed by just now appeared precisely at the moment he received the newbie gift pack, and disappeared precisely in the outer gate area where he was.

What kind of perfect coincidence could there be in this world?

"It really was him." Wang Dong'er pursed her red lips slightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She originally thought that the contents of the diary were just the whims of a young man, and even if it contained many secrets about her and the sect, she would only consider it as secrets he had learned by chance.

But the unparalleled tremor she just experienced forced her to believe that Lin Ye truly harbored a colossal secret that could overturn everyone's understanding.

Without the slightest hesitation, she casually changed into an inconspicuous set of clothes, concealed all her soul power, and silently darted towards the outer gate area.

She wanted to see for herself what astonishing thing Lin Ye had gotten from the newbie gift pack.

At this moment, in a courtyard in the outer gate area, Lin Ye was looking at the illusory image of his martial spirit in front of him. He was so excited that his whole body was trembling slightly, his eyes were full of surprise and joy, and even his breathing became rapid.

Behind him, a golden dragon phantom, tens of feet long, floated silently. Its domineering dragon might emanated from the phantom, but it was firmly locked within the courtyard by the system's barrier, without leaking out in the slightest.

The dragon was covered in dense, golden scales, each one seemingly cast from the purest divine metal, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight. Its patterns were mysterious and indestructible.

The enormous dragon head was slightly raised, its pair of gilded vertical pupils filled with an arrogant and domineering look down upon the world, as if all things in the world were under its gaze.

The thick dragon claws were as sharp as knives. With just a light grip, they caused ripples to spread through the surrounding space, as if the terrifying power could tear it apart at any moment.

Beneath the golden dragon phantom, two jet-black spirit rings floated silently, their surfaces shimmering with a deep, cold light. Each movement of the spirit rings exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Those were two black, ten-thousand-year-old soul rings!

"The Golden Dragon King...it's actually the Golden Dragon King!"

Lin Ye took a deep breath of the cold air, forcibly suppressing the turbulent waves surging in his heart.

He was very familiar with this martial soul; it was the bloodline of Tang Wulin from Douluo III, the power half that split off after the fall of the Dragon God, controlling the most extreme power and physical defense in the world.

Even a trace of bloodline is enough to elevate a Soul Master's talent to the highest level on the continent, let alone the complete Golden Dragon King Martial Soul before us, which has no seal whatsoever!

This is a top-tier martial soul that guarantees at least a God-King level. Looking across the entire ten-thousand-year history of the Douluo Continent, there are very few that can rival it!

But that wasn't all that surprised him.

He could clearly feel that the soul power within his body had surged from level nine to level twenty.

Although his innate soul power was only level 2.5, the original owner still cultivated very diligently, and with only level 2.5 soul power, he managed to cultivate to level nine.

Unfortunately, the original owner of the body passed away before he could even acquire the soul rings, and Lin Ye, who had transmigrated from another world, took over the body.

With innate level 20 soul power, does that mean my first soul ring has also evolved into a god-level martial soul?

Only a god-level martial soul can break the shackles of heaven and earth in the Douluo Continent and possess innate soul power exceeding level ten.

Qian Renxue in Douluo Continent I has an Angel Martial Soul, which is a legitimate divine-level Martial Soul inherited from the Angel God. This gives her the full soul power of innate level 20, allowing her to stand at the finish line that countless soul masters can never reach in their entire lives.

The first martial soul, the Iron Rod Martial Soul, also underwent a complete transformation and evolution at the same time as the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul awakened.

At this moment, the iron rod floated silently to his left, its body covered with mysterious and ancient patterns, and its body exuded a heavy and domineering aura of annihilation.

Even without releasing a fraction of its soul power, it could still rival the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul behind it, holding its own in the slightest.

Lin Ye had always thought that his first martial soul was just an ordinary weapon martial soul, nothing special.

But now he realized that the power of this evolved iron rod was in no way inferior to that of a god-level martial soul!

It should be understood that the origin of this iron rod, which can be compared with a martial soul of the Golden Dragon King level, and even shows signs of being on par with it, is probably far more terrifying than he imagined.

The two martial souls are a Golden Dragon King, a god-level martial soul that guarantees at least a god-king level, and a mysterious Iron Rod martial soul that can rival god-level martial souls.

With innate level 20 full soul power, and having just awakened his second martial soul, he comes with two perfectly matched ten-thousand-year soul rings that have no backlash whatsoever.

Even his physical body, under the comprehensive transformation of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, has become indestructible. His physical strength alone is enough to rival that of a Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level.

Among those of the same level, probably no one can surpass him in physical strength.

Today's newbie gift pack isn't just opening a gift pack, it's practically blowing up the treasure vault of the divine realm!

It took Lin Ye a full quarter of an hour to forcefully calm his trembling body. With a thought, the golden dragon phantom behind him and the two ten-thousand-year soul rings instantly entered his body.

He also concealed his immense soul power to the extreme, and with the system's aura shielding function activated simultaneously, even a titled Douluo-level expert standing in front of him could not discern his true cultivation level.

He knew very well that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.

The Golden Dragon King's martial soul is too overpowered. The fact that he has innate level 20 full soul power, twin martial souls, and two ten-thousand-year soul rings at the start, if any one of these things were to be leaked, would be enough to drive the entire Clear Sky Sect, and even the entire Douluo Continent, crazy.

Before he has sufficient strength to protect himself, these trump cards must never be revealed to anyone.

"However, as long as I keep writing in my diary and checking in, I can receive system rewards continuously. Isn't this cultivation improvement like having a cheat code?"

Lin Ye couldn't help but smile, feeling great. Having transmigrated to this dog-eat-dog Douluo world, with no background and no talent, he could be eliminated by the sect at any time, and even survival required him to be extremely cautious.

But now, with the diary system and these two heaven-defying martial souls, his future has instantly become bright.

He pushed open the courtyard gate and walked towards the main street outside the gate.

The overall style of the Haotian Sect carries its unique solemnity and seriousness. The streets paved with black stones are wide and flat, and most of the buildings on both sides have sharp edges and no superfluous decorations. Even the air is filled with a faint sense of grimness.

Even though they live in seclusion here, the disciples of the sect have never given up their cultivation. Groups of three or five disciples can be seen everywhere on the streets, their auras steady and their steps agile. From time to time, the booming sound of martial spirits colliding can be heard from the martial arts arena.

Although there are no brothels or other places of entertainment like those outside, this place is not entirely desolate.

Along the streets, there are shops selling soul tools and rare medicinal herbs, martial arts arenas for disciples to spar and compete, and many teahouses and food stalls for people to rest and eat. The streets are bustling with activity and full of life.

Lin Ye strolled slowly along the street, looking at the lively scene around him, and the excitement in his heart gradually subsided.

With the system's support, he was confident that it wouldn't be long before he could surpass everyone, stand at the pinnacle of the entire Douluo Continent, and even visit the God Realm.

However, these secluded days were ultimately somewhat dull and boring.

Chapter 4 Wang Dong'er: Am I fake?

Lin Ye only strolled around for a short while before losing interest in continuing. In this world controlled by the God King, the more flamboyant he was, the more dangerous it would be.

He was just an outsider who had just gained a foothold in the world, and he was not even capable of protecting himself. He had no interest in appreciating the scenery of this strange world.

Lin Ye went straight back to the small courtyard he rented, locked the doors and windows, and spent the night meditating.

Before they knew it, it was the morning of the next day.

Honestly, forcing myself to write in my diary every day feels exactly like being forced to do daily homework by my teacher when I was a kid—it's incredibly uncomfortable.
