Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Su Ming: Can Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Slash Ignore Defense?



Ning Rongrong said with a look of envy, "Zhuqing, all the rewards you've received seem amazing—whether it's the cultivation technique or that defense-ignoring skill!"

Zhu Zhuqing smiled as she replied, "They're not bad, but your rewards aren't shabby either, Rongrong. The God-Bestowed Spirit Ring and the reward to increase ring age are both incredibly suitable for you. The only issue right now is your lack of self-preservation ability."

"My Nine Yin Manual is currently only the internal cultivation method. Who knows when I'll obtain exclusive martial techniques? Still, it's pretty good so far. The method aligns well with my martial soul's attributes. After practicing it, I feel my soul power has become inexhaustible, and my cultivation speed has significantly increased!"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned complicated as she continued, "I'm very grateful to Su Ming's system for these rewards. They've given me the possibility to grow stronger and to change my fate. But I don't know how to thank him."

Ning Rongrong teased from the side, "Zhuqing, since you dislike Dai Mubai so much, why not consider Su Ming? In this world, it's normal for powerful men to have multiple wives, and Su Ming seems to like you too."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Xiao Wu, then shook her head. "Su Ming is indeed a good person, but right now, I just want to end things with Dai Mubai before thinking about anything else. Besides, I've only just met Su Ming—it's not like you, developing feelings for him so quickly!"

Ning Rongrong mumbled softly, "W-who said that? Ugh, never mind. It's still early, anyway. Plus, Xiao Wu has the best relationship with Su Ming right now. She's basically the main wife, so her approval would be necessary."

Although Xiao Wu felt a pang of jealousy, she knew she couldn't control Su Ming. Yet the thought of leaving him was unbearable, so she could only accept the situation.

Resigned, Xiao Wu said, "For now, I'm just Su Ming's little sister. Besides, he's such a romantic person—whether I approve or not doesn't matter. All I can do is accept it and hope that the number of future 'sisters' won't be too many. At least since we all know each other, maybe there's strength in numbers to keep Su Ming in check!"

Zhu Zhuqing then asked Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, have you ever received any powerful cultivation techniques before?"

She thought that since Xiao Wu was closest to Su Ming and had received the most rewards, it was likely she had obtained such techniques.

Xiao Wu was slightly surprised but then grinned. "Zhuqing, you guessed right. A few years ago, I obtained a martial technique called Wind God Legs. Unlike your Nine Yin Manual, this technique is complete, with both internal cultivation and matching martial techniques. But it's really hard to master."

"I've been practicing Wind God Legs for a long time and am still just at the beginner level. Even so, my leg techniques have become several times stronger. The technique doesn't just have great power; its speed is incredible too."

"But since I have my teleportation soul skill, I've mainly focused on leg strength rather than speed. I've also integrated some of its leg techniques into my Eight-Stage Explosive Throw, which has exponentially increased its power."

"As for Dai Mubai, if I used my full strength in the Eight-Stage Explosive Throw, even with his defenses fully activated, he'd lose half his life and severely damage his foundation!"

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in shock. "Xiao Wu, you're amazing!" She then sighed. "It's a shame I'm just a support-type soul master. If only I had some self-defense abilities. Otherwise, I'm always stuck in a passive position."

"Take that running drill yesterday, for example. Flender gave all those grand reasons about support soul masters improving their stamina to increase survival chances. But what's the point? No matter how good a support soul master's stamina or speed is, it'll never be as effective as a single attack-type soul ring!"

Sighing again, Ning Rongrong lamented, "Back in the sect, I also ran laps, but nothing like Flender's task of running twenty laps around the village. Even attack-type soul masters struggled, let alone support types—it's just an impossible task!"

As the three continued talking, they noticed Su Ming's diary updating.

[Tang San dodging Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Slash feels off. Could it be that the Netherworld Slash has more than just a bleeding effect?]

[When Tang San caught the Netherworld Slash bare-handed, his expression seemed pained. Did Zhu Zhuqing's attack actually break through Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hands' defense?]

[I observed closely at the time, and Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hands didn't show any signs of breaking. Defense-ignoring? Yes! That must be it!]

The girls stared at the diary's reasoning and couldn't find any faults. If Su Ming's deduction was correct, Zhu Zhuqing's third soul skill was extraordinary.

Netherworld Slash, with its bleeding effect and defense-ignoring ability, was almost too powerful for a third soul skill—completely overkill. Everyone was envious.

However, some found it suspicious. With the resources of the Star Luo Zhu Clan, finding such a rare soul beast for Zhu Zhuqing's third soul ring seemed unlikely. That left only one explanation.

At that moment, Bibi Dong pondered. The only remaining possibility was that this was a system reward. And it was unlikely that the reward merely added such effects to a single soul skill.

Considering Zhu Zhuqing's weaker attack power as an agility-type soul master, the most probable explanation was that she had received a reward allowing her to ignore defenses when attacking. Of course, this was just Bibi Dong's guess, as the system was too mysterious to be certain.

The three girls exchanged shocked glances. Zhu Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat. How could Su Ming deduce that so accurately?

Although Su Ming's guess wasn't entirely correct, the fact that he came so close without knowing about their rewards was impressive!

[Maybe I should ask her privately later? No, that's not appropriate. Skills like this are usually a soul master's secret unless the relationship is particularly close. And we've only known each other for two days. Better wait for the right time.]

Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't sure how she'd respond if Su Ming asked, as their relationship hadn't reached that level yet.

Compared to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, things were different. The three of them shared diary access, so they knew some of each other's secrets. Thanks to the diary's rules, they got along well. Besides, the diary confirmed that they were companions in the original story, which gave them a sense of familiarity.
