Thanks to Su Ming and the others, the entire Dorm Seven group collectively cultivated until 11 p.m. before stopping for the night. Since Tang San had to get up early the next day, he went to bed even earlier. Su Ming, however, continued to train until midnight.
He was eagerly anticipating tonight's reward, just as Xiao Wu and the others were. After all, Su Ming had livestreamed twice today, and they were all curious about what kind of "low-tier" rewards they might receive.
At exactly midnight.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's diary. You have received the following rewards: Cultivation Manual "Wood Sutra," Supreme Soul Tool, 10 Bottles of Low-Grade Body Tempering Liquid.
Wood Sutra: A wood-element-exclusive cultivation manual. It enhances the practitioner's cultivation speed by ten times, compresses soul power to improve its quality, and increases control over soul power and martial souls. It has nine layers, with each breakthrough boosting life force and toughness attributes by 10%.
Supreme Soul Tool: A soul tool in the shape of a ring, with a 1,000-cubic-meter storage space that can hold living beings. Usable only by the host; no one else can access its contents.
Body Tempering Liquid: Temper your body and enhance physical constitution.
Su Ming was stunned by the rewards. He didn't expect them to be this good—three valuable items, and all of them exactly what he needed.
The most valuable, without a doubt, was the "Wood Sutra." Judging by the description, it was far superior to Tang San's Xuantian Skill!
As for the other two rewards, the Supreme Soul Tool and the Body Tempering Liquid...
The former offered a massive 1,000-cubic-meter storage space, perfect for storing future system rewards. Plus, it could store living beings, something Tang San's Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges couldn't do with its mere 24 cubic meters!
Even better, according to the system, only Su Ming could use this soul tool. If he lost it, no one would be able to access its contents. Truly convenient!
As for the Body Tempering Liquid, it was exactly what he needed to refine his body and increase his soul ring absorption limit.
Meanwhile, in various other locations, the female protagonists also saw Su Ming's rewards, but they couldn't see the detailed descriptions.
The item that intrigued them the most was the cultivation manual. Its value undoubtedly surpassed the other two rewards!
After reviewing the descriptions, Su Ming decided to write in his diary to document his day's rewards—filling up some content for the next day's entry, heh.
"People, who can relate? Today's diary rewards are absolutely top-tier!"
"Let's not even talk about the ring-shaped Supreme Soul Tool with 1,000 cubic meters of storage space. Now I can store all my system rewards in one place, and only I can use it—no one else can even see what's inside!"
"And the ten bottles of Body Tempering Liquid? They'll enhance my physical constitution, allowing me to absorb higher-year soul rings!"
"With my Body Technique Mastery already boosting my physical strength, I estimate that I can already try to absorb a millennium soul ring for my first one. With these ten bottles of Body Tempering Liquid, my limit will be even higher!"
In the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong also eagerly awaited tonight's rewards, hoping to receive something useful herself.
After reading Su Ming's notes about the Body Tempering Liquid, she thought its value even surpassed the Supreme Soul Tool.
Sure, the soul tool had a large storage space and could store living creatures, and it was bound to its user, but that was still within her expectations.
However, the Body Tempering Liquid was something different. It could break through the physical limitations of soul masters, allowing them to absorb higher-quality soul rings.
According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, a soul master's first soul ring limit was about 423 years, with the most talented individuals getting closest to this limit.
Yet, based on Su Ming's diary, Yu Xiaogang's theory was completely debunked. Su Ming had proven this theory wrong through his own experience!
In fact, the theory always had flaws—it wasn't hard to figure out. Whether someone could absorb higher-quality soul rings largely depended on their body's ability to endure it.
By delaying the absorption of their first soul ring and continuing to train, a soul master's limit would inevitably increase. But no one had ever tried this.
This was mainly because the prime years for soul master cultivation were before the age of 30. Delaying the first soul ring for higher absorption limits didn't seem worth the trade-off.
Furthermore, there wasn't an established system for physical training on the continent, and low-level training offered limited benefits. Soul ring absorption was simply faster.
However, Su Ming's Body Tempering Liquid changed the game. If its ingredients could be identified and mass-produced, the implications for the entire continent's soul master population would be staggering!
Bibi Dong wasn't the only one who realized this. Hu Liena, Qian Renxue, and Liu Erlong had the same thoughts.
Liu Erlong, in particular, had mixed feelings. She had always thought Yu Xiaogang was incredibly smart. Now, not only had Su Ming exposed most of Yu Xiaogang's theories as plagiarized, but he had also proven them wrong. Her emotions were all over the place.
As for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, they were astounded that Su Ming could absorb a millennium soul ring as his first. In their noble or royal families, even the most talented individuals typically had first rings of around 400 years. No one had ever absorbed a millennium ring before—it shattered the continent's records!
They couldn't help but feel envious.
Despite their young age, they already knew a lot about martial souls due to the influence of their elders. They wondered whether they could extend the age of their first soul ring by training their bodies now.
If Su Ming knew their thoughts, he'd say: Zhu Zhuqing might have the determination to keep training, but Ning Rongrong? Spoiled by her father Ning Fengzhi and her two grandfathers, she was far too pampered to stick to such a regimen!
Just then, the diary updated again.
"The most important reward is the 'Wood Sutra' cultivation manual. It boosts my cultivation speed by tenfold!"
The female protagonists were shocked. Su Ming already had innate level-ten soul power and was progressing quickly. Now, with his speed multiplied by ten, that was simply too outrageous! Even Bibi Dong, usually composed, showed surprise on her usually cold and beautiful face.
"However, after analyzing the manual's description, I doubt it'll increase my speed by a full ten times. If it's two or three times faster, I'll already be happy!"
Huh?
The female protagonists were confused. The manual said it would increase his speed tenfold, so why was Su Ming saying that even two or three times would be good?
