Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

[Thus, they had no choice but to continue searching for a suitable spirit beast for Tang San. However, not long after, the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, made its appearance!]

Seeing this, Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat. Why would Er Ming appear in the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest at this time? He should be in the core area! Could it be that he sensed her presence and rushed out from the core zone?

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, reading that the Titan Giant Ape had appeared in the outskirts, were both utterly terrified. They exchanged glances and saw the same worry reflected in each other's eyes.

The other heroines, upon reading this, had a different first reaction: would Su Ming and the others be in danger with the Titan Giant Ape appearing in the outskirts?

But then, considering Su Ming's calm demeanor, it seemed likely that there wouldn't be any real danger.

A Titan Giant Ape of several tens of thousands of years was already comparable to an average Titled Douluo. From what they knew, this King of the Forest was a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast, with strength likely rivaling a Level 95 Titled Douluo!

And with its unique abilities, even a regular Level 95 Titled Douluo wouldn't stand a chance against it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo: Who are you implying here!?

Ning Rongrong then began conversing with the other two through the diary.

Ning Rongrong: Xiao Wu, you're also a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast from the Star Dou Forest. Do you know this Titan Giant Ape?

Zhu Zhuqing: Yeah, Xiao Wu, do you know it?

Xiao Wu: Of course I do. That Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, is my little brother, Er Ming.

Xiao Wu: I think he must have sensed my presence, which is why he appeared in the outskirts. Both of you should be careful not to get caught up in anything. If Su Ming is so calm about it, that means Er Ming isn't likely to harm you.

Hearing Xiao Wu's assurance, the two of them felt slightly relieved. They decided that if Zhao Wuji and the others wanted to fight, they'd just let them. At most, Ning Rongrong would provide some buffs to put on a show.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, thought about retreating immediately. After all, fighting wasn't an option. Her attacks would be like scratching an itch for the Titan Giant Ape. Against absolute strength, her speed was meaningless. Worse, if her attacks were misinterpreted as hostile, it would spell disaster. She had no intention of courting death.

Bibi Dong, pondering over the diary, became suspicious: Xiao Wu is also a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast from the Star Dou Forest. This Titan Giant Ape must know her. Otherwise, how could a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast suddenly appear in the outskirts?

[The Titan Giant Ape's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. After all, what was a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast doing outside the core area?]

[Zhao Wuji, in particular, was sweating bullets at the time.]

[The truth was, the Titan Giant Ape appeared in the outskirts mainly because it sensed Xiao Wu's presence. Having not seen his sister for so long, his eagerness was understandable.]

[In the original story, Zhao Wuji, though terrified of the Titan Giant Ape, still stepped forward, activating his martial soul avatar to cover the group's retreat. In the end, however, Xiao Wu was snatched away by the Titan Giant Ape and taken away.]

[In my opinion, Zhao Wuji wasn't truly protecting Tang San and the others. He was just trying to save his own skin.]

This statement caught all the heroines' attention. Zhao Wuji protecting the students was just an excuse to save himself?

A teacher protecting students—isn't that their responsibility? Why would Su Ming suggest otherwise?

[Think about it. Shrek Academy has been around for so many years and has had a total of just over forty students. Graduating requires meeting two criteria.]

[The first is reaching Spirit Power Level 40 before the age of twenty. The second is earning the Silver Spirit Badge at the Great Spirit Arena.]

[But here's the thing: has anyone noticed that in the academy, apart from us freshmen, there isn't a single senior student? With no resources, how could all their students achieve these milestones and graduate?]

[Frankly, I don't buy it. Even in the original story, only Qin Ming was mentioned as a former Shrek student who became a teacher at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. None of the others ever appeared.]

[So, I'm more inclined to believe that most of those forty or so students died—either in battles at the Great Spirit Arena or during spirit beast hunts.]

These words left all the heroines in deep thought. Indeed, apart from the teachers and them as freshmen, they hadn't seen any senior students at Shrek Academy. Where had all those over twenty gone?

Reaching Spirit Power Level 40 before the age of twenty was incredibly challenging.

Even in well-resourced academies like Spirit Hall Academy or other prestigious advanced spirit academies, it was rare for students to achieve this.

And Shrek Academy had no resources. So where had those students gone? It was impossible for all of them to have graduated. The only plausible explanation was that most of them had died!

Died in various accidents, while the academy's teachers failed to protect these geniuses.

Thinking about this, Bibi Dong grew angry. Shrek Academy's strict entry requirements ensured that its students were all prodigies, yet these talents had been squandered! If they had joined Spirit Hall, they would have at least achieved something.

The Shrek trio reading Su Ming's theory felt a chill run down their spines. Where were the seniors who didn't graduate?

Before they departed, Dean Flender had said that unless there was an emergency, the students were expected to hunt their own spirit beasts, with the teachers merely providing support to prevent accidents.

But if the students encountered extreme danger and the teachers couldn't save them in time—what then?

The trio exchanged uneasy glances, their hearts racing uncontrollably.

At Heaven Dou City's Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong was equally stunned as she read the diary. She couldn't believe it was true. Su Ming's speculation was just that—a guess. How could the Shrek Academy Flender founded be like this?

Her own Blue Tyrant Academy was mostly composed of commoners. Whenever students needed to hunt spirit beasts, a group of strong teachers led the team and handled the hunting themselves. While this meant the students gained less combat experience, it reduced casualties significantly.

Combat experience could always be gained by sparring with spirit beasts of similar strength.

Normally, the spirit beast required for a spirit ring was stronger than the spirit master. Letting the student fight alone was reckless.
