Diary System—Chapter 128: Dai Yichen's Doubt—Does Qian Renxue Have the Ultimate Light Attribute?
Sixteen-year-old Level 44 Soul Ancestor!
They didn't expect that a Speed Clan with essentially no resources would produce a sixteen-year-old Soul Ancestor! If she had been in the Spirit Hall or other more prestigious high-level soul master academies, her cultivation level would likely be even higher!
At this moment, Bibi Dong realized that her training schedule for the golden generation might not have been rigorous enough.
If what Dai Yichen said was true, then, based on Bai Chenxiang's rapid cultivation speed and with sufficient resources, she could reach the Soul King level before age 20—potentially breaking records.
There are very few Soul Kings on the continent who are under 20!
She knew that the martial soul of the Speed Clan was the Needle-Tailed Swift, one of the fastest-flying soul beasts in the entire soul-beast world.
It was said that if a Needle-Tailed Swift went all out, it could circle the continent in three days—an incredibly terrifying speed.
But this was irrelevant. The Speed Clan's focus is on the pure agility route. They excel in speed but lack attack power. Their role is mainly reconnaissance. Among the four single-attribute sects, the Speed Clan has the lowest prominence.
What's the point of speed alone? In battle, opponents can simply stand there and waste your time—after all, it doesn't hurt when they get hit.
Speed Clan: …
All the girls thought this in their hearts, but there was no denying Bai Chenxiang's talent.
If she had changed her martial soul or hadn't pursued the pure agility route, her future achievements would have been unpredictable.
What they didn't expect was Tang San. Not to mention that Bai Chenxiang and Tang San were cousins—although Tang San just recently learned of their relationship and wasn't very familiar with them—this connection was often ignored.
But Bai He at least gave him a top-grade immortal herb. Wouldn't Tang San return the favor? If Tang San didn't have any extra immortal herbs, that would be understandable, but it was impossible to think he lacked them. Tang San had extras. Even if he only used lower-level immortal herbs or half-immortal herbs would show his sincerity.
As a result, Tang San received it for free!
The girls thought Tang San was a bit thick-skinned.
However, they also considered one thing: if Bai Chenxiang truly reached the Peerless Douluo level, then the Shrek Seven Devils might still be able to assist her.
But even Dai Yichen wasn't sure if she would ultimately reach level 99.
You should know that a level 99 Ultimate Douluo represents the peak of the continent. Only three are known: Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, and Bo Saixi.
Among these, only Tang Chen achieved level 99 through his talent, while Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi obtained their strength after accepting God's test—becoming the Great Worshiper and the Great Priest, respectively.
It's not that they lack talent, but without God's test, they would likely reach Ultimate Douluo later than Tang Chen.
The women didn't believe Bai Chenxiang could reach Ultimate Douluo solely through her efforts.
Most of the female protagonists thought this was still uncertain. If Bai Chenxiang did reach Ultimate Douluo level with Tang San's help, then wouldn't that immortal herb be given for free to Tang San?
—
[In my opinion, the Needle-tailed Swift martial soul is also quite good. It's not top-tier but above average. Plus, it follows the pure agility path, meaning it is extremely fast. Extreme speed implies it controls a lot of wind attribute energy.]
[Since it's a flying martial soul, its speed is still related to wind energy—the faster, the more violent the wind energy it can harness. The Speed Clan has passed down many years, but they haven't created attack-type soul skills; otherwise, they wouldn't be so passive.]
[When Bai He reached the Soul Douluo level, it was said he could circle the continent in three days. His martial soul's wind attribute should have reached mastery. Tai Tan and Niu Gao should also have mastered power and control, but because their martial souls aren't top-tier, they cannot reach the ultimate attribute.]
[If Tang San could give Bai Chenxiang a more suitable wind attribute immortal herb, and her soul ring was mainly from wind attribute soul beasts, there's a high probability she would obtain the ultimate wind attribute upon martial soul evolution, leading to a transformation!]
—
Ultimate Attribute?
Many female protagonists are quite confused by this term, including Qian Renxue.
As two of the three heavenly kings of the Extreme North, Bingdi and Xuedi are familiar with the concept because they both possess the ultimate ice attribute.
However, they have differing opinions on what Dai Yichen mentioned in his diary.
If the martial soul does not possess the ultimate attribute from the start, it's very difficult to develop it later.
Even if the martial soul evolves and its attributes become stronger, it may not necessarily attain the ultimate attribute. It might progress from mastery of an element to the peak of that mastery—just one step away from the ultimate attribute.
But even this step is extremely difficult without another evolution!
Martial soul evolution is common in the soul master world, but why do most people on the continent not know about the ultimate attribute?
It suggests that the mechanism of attributes isn't simply determined by a single martial soul evolution.
They think that even immortal herbs wouldn't have such a profound effect.
—
[But this is only theoretical. Achieving the ultimate attribute isn't easy. Even a top-tier soul beast like Ah Yin does not possess the ultimate life attribute. The Bear King, one of the Ten Great Beasts, only has an attribute infinitely close to the ultimate metal].
[Once you have the ultimate attribute, facing an opponent with the same attribute almost guarantees victory—unless the strength difference spans multiple stages, the one with the ultimate attribute will most likely win.]
[Currently, only a few on the continent are known to possess the ultimate attribute: the Ice Empress and Snow Empress (with the ultimate ice), Di Tian (with the ultimate darkness), the Three-eyed Golden Lion (with the ultimate light and fire), and the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena (who mastered all nine elemental powers).]
—
While writing this, Dai Yichen suddenly paused, thinking of Qian Renxue's six-winged angel martial soul.
Could her six-winged angel be different from Qian Daoliu's and Qian Xunji's martial souls?
Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu's martial souls are considered top-level or borderline god-level, while Qian Renxue's is a god-level martial soul.
With a god-level six-winged angel martial soul, does Qian Renxue have the ultimate light attribute?
After all, in this timeline, there's no concept of "ultimate attributes"—even if she has such an attribute, she might not be aware of it.
(End of this chapter)
Diary System—Chapter 129: Qian Renxue, Who Lacks Expressiveness, and Bibi Dong, Who Is a Little Panicked
—
[If you think about it this way, Qian Renxue has a god-level martial soul—the Six-Winged Angel. Does she possess the ultimate attribute? In the original work, it's described that her martial soul is the most sacred and luminous, also with the Sun Flame.]
[This means Qian Renxue has power over three attributes: Light, Holiness (sacred), and Fire, with Light as the main attribute, and Holiness and Fire as auxiliary ones.]
—
Qian Renxue also paid close attention when she saw Dai Yichen mention her. Her heart beat faster. She just had this doubt: does she have the ultimate attribute?
—
[Possessing the ultimate attribute has two very obvious characteristics.
The first is the absolute suppression of the same attribute and the performance in combat power.
For example, ten thousand years later, the auspicious beast with the ultimate attribute would have strength comparable to that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—even with only fifteen thousand years of cultivation. After transforming into Wang Qiu'er, it retained the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, and its martial soul transformed into a golden dragon with ultimate power. It also wielded the artifact Golden Dragon Spear. Soul Douluo would not be her opponent.
You should know that the level of Soul Douluo ten thousand years later cannot be directly compared to the current one—it's effectively a level higher.
The second characteristic is that soul masters with extreme attributes will experience a significant reduction in cultivation speed at certain levels.
Specifically, from level 30 to 70, their progress slows dramatically. After surpassing level 70 and reaching the Soul Saint level, the speed of cultivation then accelerates rapidly.
However, even though Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul is a god-level martial soul, based on descriptions from the original work, it does not show absolute suppression of other soul masters or soul beasts with the same attribute martial souls.
She has never suppressed Qian Daoliu. Even if she made Qian Daoliu feel the strongest suppression from the light, she did not make Ma Hongjun appear strongly suppressed in terms of fire attribute.
When she was in the Heaven Dou Palace Change, she was already a Soul Saint. When facing Tang San—who was only a Soul Emperor—her performance was not as impressive as that of the extreme attribute soul masters ten thousand years later.
The soul master with extreme attributes ten thousand years later could fight against Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo when at the Soul Emperor level, and their strength levels are not comparable to those of today.
But it's undeniable that Qian Renxue's lack of expressiveness is largely because Tang San himself is a "wall-hanger"—a son of pseudo-luck. Although Tang San was only a Soul Emperor at that time, he possessed Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.
This 100,000-year soul ring granted Tang San the Nothingness, Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop, while the soul bone provided the Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation. These skills can be considered Xiao Wu's core soul skills. Except for the Eight-Stage Throw, the others are all life-saving skills, especially the Invincible Golden Body, which is a rule-breaking bug skill.
Unless one has a defense-breaking soul skill like Bibi Dong, it would require a god-level strength to break it.
Unfortunately, Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul has relatively balanced abilities. She lacks a defense-breaking soul skill, so she truly couldn't do anything to Tang San. Additionally, Tang San also possessed two major domains—the Blue Silver Domain and the Killing God Domain—to counter Qian Renxue's Angel Domain.
Even so, under normal circumstances, Qian Renxue's strength surpasses Tang San's and with her strength as a Soul Saint and possessing the Angel Realm at that time, she could easily suppress ordinary Title Douluo.
The main reason she failed to completely defeat Tang San was largely due to her stupidity—she insisted on recruiting him. At that time, she knew Tang San was the murderer of her father, yet she still wanted him to join the Spirit Hall, promising that he would have all the resources he wanted once he joined.
Qian Renxue was attracted by Tang San's talent, strength, and strategy, but her behavior was confusing. Doesn't the son of your enemy count as your enemy?]
—
Qian Renxue's face flushed: (flustered)
However, Qian Renxue had already let it go. She planned to go to the Star Luo Empire as the crown prince to meet Dai Yichen, then fake her death, escape, and return to the Spirit Hall.
Whoever wants to carry out the infiltration plan of the Heaven Dou Empire can do so!
The girls found this a little funny. They could sense Dai Yichen's anger in his diary.
But one person was very panicked—Bibi Dong!
Bibi Dong: Damn! This person has been silent for a month. Why did he mention Xiaoxue's father's murderer again?
Bibi Dong has a bad feeling in her heart. She didn't want to expose Qian Xunji's cause of death directly—otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to face Xiaoxue.
In the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong's face was gloomy. She had been thinking a lot during this period.
She admitted some of Dai Yichen's criticisms of her.
She was no longer a girl in her twenties. She had been pope for so long that the events from the past had long since passed, and she had calmed down.
If she had left with Yu Xiaogang, the outcome might have been as Dai Yichen said—causing serious reputational damage to the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall might even have taken action against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family because of this. At that time, Qian Xunji, as pope, had stabilized the upper three sects, but this balance could be broken because of her actions.
During Qian Xunji's reign, Qian Daoliu retired, Tang Chen disappeared, and the Spirit Hall's strength appeared comparable to the other three major sects. Qian Xunji also created the Pope's Order.
Each of the three sect leaders held a token—their honorific elders of the Spirit Hall—and had certain rights. At that time, Yu Xiaogang was given his token by Yu Yuanzhen, who wielded the authority behind it.
This was also when she first came into contact with Yu Xiaogang.
Perhaps because she had seen so little of the world, facing Yu Xiaogang—who was handsome (though not as much as Qian Xunji), knowledgeable, and eloquent—she fell in love with him unconsciously.
Emotions are very strange.
Until now, Bibi Dong couldn't clearly explain her feelings.
Although she was the Saintess of the Spirit Hall and her appearance was unique, she normally wouldn't look down on Yu Xiaogang.
As Dai Yichen said, in terms of appearance, Yu Xiaogang was not as good as Qian Xunji or Qian Daoliu, and in talent, he was even more mediocre.
But she fell in love with him unknowingly!
Now, after so many years, she understood the truth: there is no rational standard for love.
Many people set standards for their partners—such as talent, appearance, or power—but when love comes, they forget these standards.
She has observed this a lot during her years as the Pope.
When Gardevoir returned to the restaurant, Axel had already finished eating.
Little Blue had also just achieved three consecutive battle victories, winning the free residence rights to the mountain villa.
After giving Axel a "Wasn't I awesome?" look from the arena, Little Blue walked down proudly with her head held high and chest puffed out.
The little loli was also about to hang up the phone.
["Not chatting anymore, my mom told me to deliver clothes to her. Don't forget to bring me a gift when you come back!"]
Axel nodded, reluctantly moving his eyes away.
"Remember to put on your own clothes before going out, or your mom will think you're doing weird stuff on the internet."
["Huh?"], The little loli froze for a moment, then quickly reacted and hurriedly covered the smooth little bunnies with a small blanket next to her.
["Axel, you bastard!"]
"How am I a bastard? It's not like I took them off?"
["Ugh!"], The little loli gritted her teeth hard and, after hanging up the phone, viciously threw a pillow at a photo of Axel.
She hadn't dared tease Axel for days now.
Afraid that Axel might lose control for a moment and do strange things to Gardevoir or someone else.
But she never expected that a big wave would sneak in just like that...
'So maddening!'
The little loli made up her mind, tonight she had to video call with Axel until dawn...
'I will give him no chance!'
At that moment, Little Blue also sat beside Axel and proudly nudged his arm.
"How was it, did you see the battle just now? Wasn't I awesome?"
"Mm, very white. At least 87% of it was white, the remaining 13% I didn't get to see."
Little Blue: "???"
———
The next morning, Axel hung up the little loli's call with two dark circles under his eyes.
Yesterday he didn't delay, he and Little Blue went back to the villa early.
He had originally wanted to ask Gardevoir where the two Team Rocket members went, then train his mental strength with her for a bit.
But just as he parted ways with Little Blue, the little loli's call came in.
Even worse, Gardevoir wouldn't be outdone and used her eloquence on him again.
If it weren't for the [Super True Rookie] tag, Axel even doubted whether he could've survived the night.
'Thank you, Aunt Delia, for giving birth to such a good son!'
Axel rubbed his face and hugged the equally exhausted Gardevoir, giving the little fellow a hard slap on the butt.
"Wake up now, it's already breakfast time."
["Mmm... I'm full... don't bother me."]
Hearing Gardevoir's words, Axel helplessly closed his eyes.
No wonder he felt drained, she was already full.
"Then I'll go cook for Pheromosa and the others. Are you sleeping in the Poké Ball or the room?"
Gardevoir squeezed her head hard and skillfully entered the Poké Ball.
The moment she entered, the laziness on her face vanished, replaced with a sly grin.
'Stupid master, I'm not going with you to face Mewtwo!'
'I gave so much last night, and you still pulled me out to lecture me over those two Team Rocket guys?'
———
Right before leaving the room, Axel closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.
His mental strength had already reached a high level. Although meditating wouldn't greatly boost it, it could still significantly enhance his focus.
When he opened his eyes again, the dark circles had faded slightly.
He no longer looked like someone who had stayed up all night.
Axel smacked his lips. If he'd had this ability in his past life, maybe he wouldn't have only had a single shiny Ponyta in Arceus.
"You're awake!"
Just as Axel walked out the door, he heard Little Blue's soft, sticky voice.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she seemed to have just taken a bath, her bright blue hair fluffy and hanging over her shoulders.
A black spaghetti-strap nightdress barely covered her thighs, her curvy and perky figure perfectly on display.
Her smooth, bare feet stood on the floor, looking flawless.
If Axel wasn't mistaken, she even accidentally revealed two little grapes.
Unfortunately, Axel was in super sage mode, after just a glance, he had no interest.
"Awake. Did you make breakfast?"
"No~", Little Blue's voice immediately deflated.
"Then go cook. I'm going to rest a bit," Axel leaned on the sofa and casually turned on a news broadcast from Kanto's Mt. Moon, watching it halfheartedly.
Little Blue clenched her fist tightly and gave Axel's back a hard swing.
'Men really are all pigs!'
She had deliberately gotten up early to dress up, just to make Axel submit to her beauty and make a special dish for her Wartortle.
That way, Little Blue was confident she could evolve Wartortle perfectly in one day and get a piece of the pie when Team Rocket caused trouble at night.
But she never imagined, she spent three hours dressing up, and Axel only gave it a glance.
"Axel~", Little Blue took a few steps and leaned on the sofa behind Axel, her hands gently pinching his shoulders, giving him a light massage.
"I really don't know how to cook. Can you do it later~?"
"At worst, I'll let Wartortle spar with your Pokémon again."
'If I lose this time, I'll be your maid for a few more days, okay?
"As long as you don't let Ho-Oh and Gardevoir join, I'll even wear a maid outfit!"
Axel placed Little Blue's hands on his temples, shamelessly enjoying the personal maid service.
If this were his first time meeting Little Blue, he might've softened a bit.
But having read the original story, he understood Little Blue's personality well.
This girl had a tough early life and developed a personality that refuses to suffer any losses.
As the saying goes, no hawk without a rabbit in sight.
Her acting weak now was definitely to achieve some goal.
And thinking about Wartortle's current state, it was probably about to evolve into Blastoise.
"Give me a full-body massage first. I'll cook after that," Axel was happy to help this girl who came to Kanto to get stronger, but it wouldn't hurt to collect some interest.
If he didn't collect now, he wouldn't be able to once Wartortle evolved into Blastoise.
"Okay!", Little Blue agreed excitedly.
It's just a massage. Anyway, Axel's a big eunuch (in Little Blue's mind), and she wouldn't lose anything.
"I'm coming~ Lie down obediently, and no peeking."
Axel did as told and lay face down on the sofa.
Little Blue smirked cunningly, covered Axel's eyes with a red cloth, lifted her nightdress slightly, and pulled out a Poké Ball tied to her waist.
With a flash of white light, Ditto immediately transformed into Little Blue's shape and sat on Axel's back to give him a massage.
Little Blue leaned her head behind Ditto to avoid Axel sensing anything.
"Master, does it feel good?"
"Just okay. Missing a pillow," Axel took out Pheromosa's Poké Ball and released it.
Then, with a casual wave, he grabbed a thigh and placed it under his head.
"That's much better. But why does Pheromosa feel fatter?"
The real Pheromosa nearby blinked, looked at the two Little Blues on Axel's body and under his head.
Tilted head: ⊙(・◇・)?
'Since when did I get called Pheromosa too?'
Axel had a beautiful dream.
He felt like he was eating a huge piece of ice cream, this ice cream was chewy and bouncy, and it emitted the fragrance of milk.
Under the gaze of Ditto and Pheromosa, Little Blue's legs tensed up tightly.
'Damn it, clearly everything was prepared, so why did I still fall into the trap myself?'
She could even feel Axel's hot breath...
'Damn, did someone spill water on the sofa? Why is it so damp!'
Half an hour later, when she felt that Axel had finally fallen asleep, Little Blue couldn't hold it in anymore.
She hurriedly gave Pheromosa a pleading look, asking her to take over her job.
She recalled Ditto, and dashed into the bathroom like a puff of smoke.
The sound of running water "shhhhhh" immediately came out...
———
A few minutes later, Axel finally woke up.
"Pheromosa, did I chew on your leg?"
"Pheromosa~", Pheromosa shook her head.
"Whew, then I'm relieved."
"I kept feeling like I had a weird dream, almost made me think I was some kind of pervert."
Axel let out a breath of relief and gently pinched Pheromosa's leg, letting her lie on the sofa.
"Take a rest here, I'll go cook for you guys."
"Pheromosa!"
Pheromosa rubbed her cheek against Axel's hand, obediently let out a sound.
Seeing this scene, a beautiful girl taking another shower in the bathroom instantly had her heart shattered.
'All the suffering is mine, and all the enjoyment goes to others, huh?'
'Just wait till my Blastoise finishes evolving, let's see how I deal with you!'
———
The sound of the range hood stopped, and a rich aroma wafted out from the kitchen.
Axel released all the other Pokémon into the living room, then turned and went back to the bedroom with Mewtwo's Poké Ball and food.
That guy was bent by Greninja.
Today he must make Mewtwo return to normal from being culturally corrupted.
"Want to eat?", Axel took out the special food prepared for Mewtwo, smiling as he placed it near Mewtwo's mouth.
To make Mewtwo's genes crave this food more, today Axel even specially added some fighting-type breeding nutrients.
Two-pronged approach, he refused to believe he couldn't handle Mewtwo.
Mewtwo shook her head vigorously, ["Not eating!"]
Axel: "???"
But right after, Mewtwo's next sentence left Axel even more confused.
["Haven't watched the cartoon yet!"]
Axel: "??????"
After chatting for a bit, Axel and Mewtwo compared notes and finally figured out what happened between Mewtwo and Gardevoir yesterday.
Upon learning the truth, Axel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
No matter what, Mewtwo was finally bent back, still the Mewtwo with the guardian personality.
'As for Gardevoir...'
Axel indicated that he didn't care.
After spending so much time together, the two of them were already deeply bonded and trusted each other completely.
He had long known something was off with Gardevoir.
But just like he never asked where Ho-oh came from, he had never asked where Gardevoir's ability to foresee the future came from either.
As long as the two of them accompanied and grew with each other, that was enough.
"Fine, eat then. No more cartoons in the future."
["No... must watch!"]
Mewtwo gripped Axel's Rotom phone tightly, afraid that he'd turn into someone like Gardevoir who kills at the slightest disagreement.
He just wanted to follow Axel, and later find a chance to rescue his companions.
He didn't want to be a big villain.
"Emmm... then suit yourself."
Axel let Rotom play the cartoon "Mareep and the Big Bad Wolf" for Mewtwo, then sat to the side waiting for Mewtwo to finish eating.
At that moment, a loud roar suddenly came from outside.
Right after, Axel heard Little Blue's arrogant and wild laughter.
"HAHAHA, this lady has finally made it to the top!"
"Axel, come out and die!"
Axel blinked, told Mewtwo to eat first, and walked out.
Just as he got to the spiral staircase on the second floor, Axel saw a massive Blastoise standing in the living room on the first floor.
This Blastoise had a fierce expression, and its shell emitted a heavy rocky texture.
Two gleaming cannons extended from its shoulders, with unstable energy surging inside from time to time.
Even more exaggerated was its size, nearly three meters tall, at least half as large again as a normal Blastoise.
More importantly, this Blastoise also had a golden attribute tag on its body.
[Weak Point Sniper (Gold): Makes single-target attacks more accurate, increases damage to critical areas by 50%.]
The moment he saw this tag, Axel's eyes instantly lit up.
Worthy of being someone who evolved, her evolved Pokémon wasn't just strong, but even gained an extra tag.
Although this tag was currently on Blastoise, in Axel's eyes, this was Pheromosa's cheat code.
Unmatched speed, high-power Fighting-type moves, and two damage-boosting tags, add this tag on top.
It's no exaggeration to say that Pheromosa could knock out Pokémon of the same level with a single kick as long as there was no type disadvantage.
"Pheromosa, you're gonna rise up!"
Axel pinched Pheromosa's cheek hard, then excitedly grabbed Little Blue's hand and ran out of the villa, arriving at the battle arena in the courtyard.
"Come come come, announce the rules quick, let's start the match."
Little Blue suddenly felt something was off, but remembering that this was something she had publicly promised, she braced herself and reminded him, "I said you can't use Gardevoir or Ho-oh today!"
"Fine fine fine, I won't use Ho-oh or Gardevoir."
Axel nodded decisively and continued asking, "How many Vs how many? What are the rules?"
"Wild battle or arena match?"
Seeing Axel's eager expression, Little Blue felt even more uneasy.
'How about... a wild battle?'
She had heard that trainers from Aurient weren't very good at wild battles.
'And after fighting against Team Rocket for so long, I should be able to crush Axel, right?'
Little Blue gained a bit of confidence.
"I decide on a wild battle, 1V1, trainer or Pokémon down both count as losing."
"Fine, then let's have a wild battle!"
Axel excitedly licked his lips, which made Little Blue feel creeped out, even beginning to suspect Axel was a pervert.
Could he be reacting to the word "wild battle"?
'I meant battle under wild rules, okay.'
But the next moment, Little Blue heard Axel say something she didn't quite understand.
"Mewtwo, come out and work some overtime!"
'Mewtwo?'
'Why have I never heard of this Pokémon before?'
