Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

"Aren't you curious about which team we'll face next?" Ning Rongrong asked playfully.

Su Ming shook his head, "Not really. Whether we encounter Thunder Academy, Tianshui Academy, or the Spirit Hall Team, it won't be difficult for us to win. However, I do hope to face Thunder Academy so that we can resolve a few issues."

Dugu Yan nodded in agreement. She shared the sentiment; the more she looked at Yu Tianheng, the more disgusted she felt. At this point, she only hoped that Thunder Academy wouldn't falter at the last moment.

Meanwhile, in Tian Dou City, within the Power Clan.

"Report! Clan Leader, we have bad news!"

A brawny clansman wearing the attire of the Power Clan rushed into the main hall.

Tai Nuo was handling some affairs when he heard the urgent report. He couldn't help but get angry, "What's so terrible that you're making such a fuss? Can't you see I'm busy here?"

His father had gone to Spirit City with the old master, so some clan matters were left for him to handle (related to Titan).

Over twenty days had passed since then, and he wondered how far Thunder Academy had advanced in the tournament. Su Ming: Your father is already dead—didn't see that coming, did you?

"The old… the old clan leader died on the way to Spirit City!" the clansman stammered, trembling.

He was one of the few clan members who had accompanied Titan to Spirit City and had witnessed everything.

After Titan's death, he felt terrified. Fortunately, the scene was chaotic, and he managed to slip away to another academy's carriage, eventually finding a narrow path and making his escape. Only now could he breathe a little easier, fearing Tang San might kill him to silence him. Among those who had gone with Titan, he was the only one who had survived by sheer luck.

"What! What did you just say? Say it again! If you're lying, I'll kill you!"

Upon hearing that his father had died, Tai Nuo lost his composure. His large hands gripped the clansman in front of him tightly, shaking him furiously.

"Stop… stop shaking me, Clan Leader. It's true. I was the only one who escaped; everyone else likely perished."

The clansman looked close to tears. He was one of the old clan leader's trusted aides, and seeing his master die so unjustly hurt him deeply.

Tai Nuo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, collapsing to the ground with a vacant look in his eyes.

However, he knew that this wasn't the time to mourn. His father had gone with Tang Hao and Tang San to Spirit City, so how had he ended up dead?

After all, Tang Hao was a rank 95 Titled Douluo, so his father's death seemed far too sudden.

"Speak! What exactly happened?" Tai Nuo knew he needed to stay calm; otherwise, the Power Clan would be finished.

His father had been the backbone of the Power Clan, and now that he was gone, only the Soul Saint elders remained as the strongest members of the clan.

"On our way to Spirit City, the Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall launched an attack aimed at Haotian Douluo. But at that moment, Tang San suddenly shot a hidden weapon at the old clan leader and used Blue Silver Grass to restrain him, moving him in front of Haotian Douluo to block the soul skill's damage."

The clansman recounted the events in great detail, feeling a deep sense of injustice for the old clan leader, who had shown immediate respect to Haotian Douluo and Tang San.

Su Ming: I told you, bootlickers don't meet good ends!

"Damn Tang San! Damn Tang Hao! Father, how foolish you were!"

Tai Nuo's face was streaked with tears. Though his father had been killed by someone from Spirit Hall, he saw Tang San and Tang Hao as the true culprits.

But that didn't mean he didn't hold a grudge against Spirit Hall; he had never liked them, and now that sentiment had only intensified.

However, he now faced a troubling question: what to do next?

With a heavy sigh, Tai Nuo addressed the clansman, "Send someone to Lan Ba Academy to bring back Tai Long, and have someone gather all the elders in the meeting room!"

In Spirit City

Inside the Pope's Palace.

"Your Holiness, after a day of fermentation, the nearby branches of Spirit Hall have started to report back. Our actions yesterday had a massive and positive impact!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said respectfully.

Bibi Dong, satisfied with the outcome, nodded. She was also pleased to see Yu Xiaogang so enraged that he was spitting blood. These commoner spirit masters' actions showed that Yu Xiaogang wasn't worthy of their admiration.

Then, Bibi Dong turned to Ghost Douluo and commented, "Ghost, your disciple performed impressively in today's match. It's hard to believe she's an agility-type soul master with such powerful attacks."

Ghost Douluo smiled slightly. "Your Holiness, it's all thanks to Zhuqing's fifth soul skill. The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear is indeed stronger than the Titan Giant Ape. Its attacks pierce armor and tear through space. Today was the first time Zhuqing used her fifth soul skill, which was quite a surprise to me."

Bibi Dong nodded in approval. "What are your thoughts on the Xingluo Empire?"

Ghost Douluo responded calmly, "Your Holiness, since I am now Zhuqing's teacher, I am responsible for her safety and the well-being of her family. If the Xingluo Emperor fails to appreciate her worth, I'll act personally without implicating Spirit Hall."

"Ghost, why would you act alone? Does Spirit Hall fear the Xingluo Empire? Without the support of the Clear Sky Clan, conquering them is only a matter of time. We'll be putting certain plans into action once the Soul Master Tournament concludes."

Ghost Douluo respectfully replied, "Understood, Your Holiness. Spirit Hall indeed has nothing to fear from the Xingluo Empire."

Ghost Douluo then raised a concern, "Your Holiness, you've made the young lord a substitute in the Soul Master Tournament finals. This maneuver may offend Su Ming. When the time comes…"

"Don't worry. Su Ming is powerful enough to challenge higher-ranked opponents, and Xiaoxue meets the age requirement, so we aren't breaking any rules. We've kept Xiaoxue hidden long enough; it's time for her to reappear. Don't worry, Su Ming and Xiaoxue have a good relationship. He won't mind and might even be eager to have a match with her."

With Bibi Dong's reassurance, Ghost Douluo felt more at ease. He was mainly concerned that if Su Ming decided not to join Spirit Hall, he'd lose his disciple. He held a deep affection for Zhu Zhuqing, his final disciple, and eagerly awaited the day she joined Spirit Hall so he could impart all his skills to her.
