Chapter 59: Intelligent System — Writing the Weekly Diary Again
Just then,
Dugu Bo stepped forward, looking at Lin Chen and Dugu Yan with excitement written all over his face.
"Yan Yan, since you've already reached Rank 30, Grandpa will take you to obtain your third soul ring."
"Lin Chen, you come along as well. You just consumed pills refined from three immortal herbs. I assume you've already reached a bottleneck, too. I'll help you obtain your soul ring."
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan glanced at Lin Chen from the side. That look in her eyes seemed to be asking whether he intended to go with her to acquire a soul ring.
Lin Chen shook his head at her, declining to go.
He already had plans regarding his own soul rings. Naturally, he wouldn't simply follow Dugu Bo to hunt one.
In Lin Chen's view, there was no way the Sunset Forest could possibly contain dragon-type soul beasts at the level of true dragons or above.
Seeing this, confusion filled Dugu Bo's emerald eyes.
"Lin Chen, you really are strange. Don't you want to obtain a soul ring and advance?"
"I'm a Titled Douluo. Whatever kind of soul ring you want, I can get it for you."
Dugu Bo patted his chest confidently.
A few-hundred-year soul beast, even a legendary super soul beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Dugu Bo was confident he could crush with a single palm.
"Senior Dugu, this junior already has arrangements for my soul rings. This time, you can just accompany Sister Yan."
"As for me, I'll stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and first refine a pill to resolve your poison backlash."
Lin Chen shook his head once more, politely declining Dugu Bo's assistance.
Dugu Bo was about to say something else—
But Dugu Yan seemed to think of something and quickly spoke to her grandfather:
"Grandpa, since Lin Chen has his own unique ideas, why are you interfering?"
"You should just take your granddaughter to obtain her soul ring first. I feel like I might even be able to absorb two soul rings consecutively this time."
As for why Lin Chen wasn't going, Dugu Yan already had a guess.
Most likely, it was related to the diary system's rewards. If Lin Chen had a better option, there was no need to acquire a real soul beast's soul ring for now.
"Alright, Yan Yan. But you really forget your grandpa once you have a young gentleman, don't you?"
Seeing how protective she was, Dugu Bo couldn't help but see his own shadow in her and sighed softly.
Dugu Yan's temperament was exactly like his, both righteous and wicked, both fiercely protective of their own.
Hearing this, a faint blush spread across Dugu Yan's cheeks. She stomped her foot lightly, her beautiful eyes subconsciously glancing toward Lin Chen.
Then she turned to her grandfather and said coquettishly:
"Grandpa, stop it! What young gentleman? What are you even saying?"
Even if she did have thoughts about Lin Chen, Grandpa didn't need to expose her on the spot. How was she supposed to interact naturally with him afterward?
Seeing her reveal such a bashful maidenly side, Dugu Bo knew his guess was correct.
He laughed heartily, his gaze turning even more gossipy.
Still, he refrained from teasing her further; otherwise, she might really come over and yank his beard.
"Alright, Yan Yan. Grandpa will take you to obtain your soul ring."
With that, Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, heading into the Sunset Forest to search for a suitable soul beast.
After the two left, Lin Chen sat cross-legged by the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. With a thought, a black diary appeared in his hand.
Today marked the end of the second week. After writing today's entry, he would receive the weekly reward from the diary system.
"System, please give me a soul ring reward."
Lin Chen silently prayed to the diary system in his mind.
As for his diary system, Lin Chen's evaluation was the same as the women in the chat group—"Intelligent. Extremely intelligent. Completely incomparable to those brainless systems."
Other systems occasionally made things difficult for their hosts. But his diary system was different; it was like a considerate, delicate wife, making his experience incredibly comfortable.
If there were system reviews, Lin Chen would definitely give his diary system a five-star rating.
He began writing:
[Heaven rewards the diligent. After planning for many days, I, Lin Chen, have finally obtained the immortal herb opportunity within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.]
[In the original story, Tang San consumed immortal herbs directly. As a result, his body developed resistance, and much of the medicinal power remained dormant within him, never fully refined.]
[Fortunately, the system previously rewarded me with alchemy. That allowed me to refine the immortal herbs into pills, maximizing the absorption of their medicinal power.]
[Just now, I used three immortal herbs as primary ingredients, supplemented by dozens of thousand-year spiritual herbs, to refine the Primordial Sacred Dragon Pill.]
[The medicinal power of the Primordial Sacred Dragon Pill is truly terrifying. My Golden Dragon was originally just a sub-dragon, but after refining the pill, its dragon bloodline leapt directly to the level of a second-generation Dragon King, successfully evolving into the Golden Holy Dragon King.]
[With a bloodline at this level, my martial soul should rank among the strongest of super martial souls, only slightly inferior to the legendary god-level martial souls.]
[If I remember correctly, on the Douluo Continent, the only dragon-type soul beast possessing a second-generation Dragon King bloodline is Di Tian, the 800,000-year fierce beast, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.]
[Of course, in this era, there is no concept of "fierce beasts." In the eyes of mainland soul masters, the strongest soul beasts are merely 100,000-year soul beasts. Only powerful sea-based soul masters have seen and understood soul beasts exceeding that level.]
[In this era, the only fierce beast widely known to soul masters is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King of the ocean, whose cultivation has reached a terrifying one million years, just one step away from becoming a god.]
[On the mainland, there are also many powerful, fierce beasts. The two overlords of the Star Dou Forest, Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, are merely gatekeepers in comparison.]
[Beyond Star Dou Forest, terrifying ferocious beasts also lurk deep within the Extreme North.]
[In this era, aside from the absolute peak combat power, soul masters at every other level are clearly weaker than the soul beast side.]
[After all, the Ultimate Douluo of this era are ridiculously overpowered. The three Ultimate Douluo ten thousand years later cannot compare to the Ultimate Douluo of this time. Only twenty thousand years later would Ultimate Douluo have the chance to surpass this era's pinnacle experts.]
[Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi—these three Ultimate Douluo—would be considered the strongest in any era.]
[Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi aside, the two of them can temporarily borrow divine power, which is practically dimensional suppression against other soul masters.]
[As for Tang Chen, he's even more outrageous. With his Clear Sky Hammer and the god-level ring explosion technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, the peak power he can unleash is capable of slaying gods. That's no different from cheating.]
