Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Afterward, Su Ming stayed in his room, continuing his research on the connection between life and destruction energy, aiming to complete it before the upcoming match against Thunder Academy—a perfect opportunity to test his results.

Meanwhile, unaware of the upheaval his diary had caused, Su Ming's post-writing relief came at a high cost for others, thrusting them into a life-or-death crisis. Overwhelmed by the shocking revelations, Xiao Wu and the others decided to stay up and chat.

In the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong's cold voice resounded, "Nana, do you have anything else to say?"

Hu Liena trembled. Given the likelihood of Su Ming's words being accurate, what could she possibly say? Struggling to her feet, she approached Bibi Dong, kneeling with her head down and a pale face. "Teacher… I… have nothing to say. Expel me from Spirit Hall. I'll return my spirit bones, but I hope, perhaps in the next life, to repay you for your kindness."

When Hu Liena's parents died when she was young, she and Xie Yue had spent their early years in an orphanage. Spirit Hall's charity was what allowed them both to awaken their spirits and pursue studies there. Both siblings showed natural talent, with innate rank nine spirits, which soon drew Bibi Dong's attention. She had felt a unique attachment to Hu Liena, who, in time, became her disciple, allowing both her and her brother access to better training. Without her teacher, Hu Liena would never have had these opportunities.

Now, filled with a sense of resignation, she offered her spirit bones to Bibi Dong, ready to accept her fate.

Seeing Hu Liena in this state, Qian Renxue's heart softened. After all, in the original story, all three of them had made serious mistakes. But here, nothing irreversible had happened yet—there was no need to force Hu Liena to leave Spirit Hall or reclaim her spirit bones.

And Renxue could sense that Bibi Dong, despite her anger, wasn't radiating any killing intent; she merely wanted Hu Liena to learn her lesson.

Sure enough, Bibi Dong sighed. "Forget it. Luckily, none of this has happened yet. And as Su Ming pointed out, the downfall of Spirit Hall was a result of all three of us. Xiaoxue and I share in the blame; I can't let you shoulder it alone."

Despite her frustration, Bibi Dong remained rational. Though Hu Liena's actions in the original story had been infuriating, even Su Ming had called her a traitor. Bibi Dong herself had been similarly lost at one time, wishing to abandon Spirit Hall for Yu Xiaogang, betraying both her teacher and Spirit Hall. She had also neglected to give back.

So, thinking about it from Hu Liena's perspective, she thought, if I could get a chance to make amends, why can't Hu Liena?

Hu Liena looked up at her teacher in shock. Was she really forgiven?

In the original story, she had made grievous mistakes that led to the loss of two invaluable spirit rings and bones, as well as the deaths of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. Her life couldn't even begin to repay such a debt.

Bibi Dong lifted Hu Liena with one hand. "Nana, just remember this lesson. And I believe some of your behavior may have been influenced by the Killing God Domain."

"The Killing God Domain is a gift from Shura God; if he wishes, he can tamper with it at any time. Originally, I intended to have you train at Slaughter City after the Soul Master Competition, but now, I think it's best to forget that. Shura God's interference is… insidious."

Hu Liena, still concerned, asked, "Teacher, you also have the Killing God Domain. Aren't you worried that Shura God might tamper with it?"

Bibi Dong smiled faintly. "Nana, I am now infused with Rakshasa's divine power. If Shura God tried to manipulate the domain through his awareness, I would sense it. Moreover, the system has given me a Tranquil Heart Pearl, which helps me absorb and control evil thoughts. It would be almost impossible for Shura God to twist my will, unless he descended personally."

Hu Liena's realization brought her relief, and she smiled slightly. "So that's why you're so confident, Teacher."

Bibi Dong nodded. "So, Nana, my coldness earlier was merely to impress upon you the importance of this lesson. Love someone if you wish, but don't fall for the enemy. If necessary, cut your losses—this goes for me as well."

"We're fortunate that we've glimpsed the future and have a chance to change it. Let's be grateful for that."

She patted Hu Liena's shoulder.

Perhaps due to her mended relationship with Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong seemed more open in expressing her care for both Hu Liena and Renxue.

Seeing the tension dissolve, Qian Renxue addressed Bibi Dong. "Mother, is this why you asked me here? Ghost Douluo mentioned it was something that affected Spirit Hall's honor."

After a brief silence, Bibi Dong nodded. "Xiaoxue, I'd like you to participate in the Soul Master Elite Competition as an alternate. What do you think?"

Both Qian Renxue and Hu Liena were taken aback; neither expected such a proposal. The idea intrigued Qian Renxue. She was a soul master, after all, and the Elite Competition was a rare opportunity she'd soon outgrow. At twenty-three, she would be ineligible by the next round.

"Mother, is this because of Su Ming's strength?" Qian Renxue asked.

Bibi Dong nodded. "Yes, Su Ming's strength is formidable, and his abilities counter Nana's. Even if her spirit power surpasses his, I'm not certain she could win. If Su Ming uses the technique he showed against Yu Yuan Zhen, we would stand no chance."

"And Xiaoxue, I think you'd like the opportunity to spar with Su Ming. This is your chance, and since you'll compete under your true appearance, no one will suspect a thing. This will be your only chance."

(Note: Sources suggest Tang San and Qian Renxue are nine years apart, making Qian Renxue currently twenty-three while Tang San is fourteen. Another source notes that Qian Renxue is thirty-six by the end of the original work, eleven years older than Tang San.)
