Chapter 22: Wood Style, Yamato or Hashirama?

"Why do I say that? It's mainly because this cultivation technique compresses soul power, enhancing its quality. However, this also means that the rate at which soul power level increases will slow down. With this trade-off, a two- to three-fold increase in cultivation speed would already be impressive!"

At this point, the female protagonists understood Su Ming's reasoning. However, they didn't have much understanding of the concept of soul power quality. After all, they had been cultivating following the traditional methods passed down through generations.

They had no cultivation techniques of their own and no way to improve the quality of their soul power like Su Ming.

"But increasing the quality of soul power is exactly what I want. In Naruto, the strength didn't come from Wood Style itself but from the amount of chakra infused into the technique. The more chakra, the stronger the Wood Style. Chakra is similar to soul power in this world!"

"Improving the quality of soul power is essentially the same as increasing its total amount. I don't want my Wood Style to be as weak as Yamato's, only good for planting trees. I want it to be as strong and cool as Hashirama's!"

"In Naruto, fans always compared Yamato to Hashirama, often joking that Yamato's Wood Style was only good for landscaping, and he couldn't even summon a Wood Dragon!"

The female protagonists didn't know what Naruto was or who Hashirama and Yamato were, but they understood from Su Ming's diary that the strength of Wood Style was tied to the quality and quantity of soul power. If used well, it could be incredibly powerful; if not, it was only good for planting trees.

They also realized that this cultivation technique was perfect for Su Ming, as it could significantly enhance the quality of his soul power.

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, was pondering what soul rings Su Ming might add. In addition to soul rings that could boost soul power, he would likely need one to enhance the toughness of his Wood Style. That meant Su Ming's initial soul rings would likely focus on enhancing the attributes of his martial soul.

After all, he already had plenty of Wood Style techniques. With this cultivation method, he could also create his own soul skills, making the soul skills granted by his rings less critical. Su Ming definitely wouldn't want his Wood Style reduced to landscaping duties!

"Overall, the rewards from the diary today are really great. If all the rewards could be like this, that'd be amazing. So far, I still haven't figured out how the diary decides what rewards to give. I wonder if it's random."

After finishing his diary entry, Su Ming lay down, satisfied, and went to sleep.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was brimming with excitement. After all, her name was mentioned the most in today's diary, and Su Ming had livestreamed twice. She couldn't wait to see what rewards she would get!

The other female protagonists were also eagerly anticipating their rewards.

"The person mentioned the most in today's diary is: Xiao Wu."

"Reward: Leg Martial Skill 'Wind God's Kick.'"

"'Wind God's Kick': A leg technique known for its lightning-fast speed and ability to deliver multiple hits in rapid succession."

"Do you wish to make your reward public?"

Xiao Wu: No.

"Xiao Wu's reward has been hidden."

The other women were curious about what Xiao Wu had received, but since she chose to hide it, they had no way of knowing.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was thrilled with her new leg technique. It suited her perfectly!

With her incredible speed, her fighting style primarily relied on soft techniques and legwork. Since she no longer wanted to use her soft techniques on men, she would rely more on her leg skills.

This technique, which focused on speed and multi-hit attacks, could perfectly complement her Eight Stage Drop technique. With the addition of this leg skill, she might even exceed eight hits in a combo!

The only downside was that if the combo was interrupted, it would leave her vulnerable. However, Xiao Wu was confident in her body's flexibility, and as long as her movements could keep up, she likely wouldn't get interrupted.

Besides, the only ones who could block her attacks were defense-type soul masters, and they were generally too slow to interrupt her combos. So, it seemed like an unbeatable strategy!

After the top female protagonist rewards were distributed, it was time for the livestream rewards!

"Today, Su Ming hosted two livestreams. All female protagonists who watched the livestreams from start to finish will receive a low-tier random reward!"

"Regardless of how many livestreams Su Ming conducts in a day, female protagonists can only receive one low-tier random reward per day."

Seeing this rule, the female protagonists felt a bit disappointed. They had hoped that they would receive a reward for each livestream Su Ming conducted that day.

"Ding! Congratulations, Xiao Wu, on receiving a soul tool (bracelet form) with a storage space of 100 cubic meters. It cannot store living beings."

Xiao Wu was pleased with the reward. While it couldn't compare to Su Ming's soul tool, it was still quite useful for her.

In the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong stared at her own reward, momentarily stunned before feeling an overwhelming sense of joy.

"Ding! Congratulations, Bibi Dong, on receiving a Martial Soul True Body Transformation Card. Using this card will allow you to change the form of your Martial Soul True Body to your liking without affecting its effects. This change is permanent!"

This reward was perfect for her! She had always been self-conscious about her Martial Soul True Body.

Whenever she activated it, her lower body would transform into a spider-like form, while her upper body remained human. It was hideous and grotesque, which is why she rarely used her Martial Soul True Body.

Unless absolutely necessary, those few who had seen her use it hadn't lived to tell the tale.

Now, this system could let her change the appearance of her true form! The power of this system was truly mind-blowing!

Originally, she hadn't been all that excited about the system's rewards. But now, she had to admit—this was amazing!

Bibi Dong immediately used the card. After all, only Hu Liena was with her, and she was also a diary holder.

In an instant, silver-white threads began to weave themselves around Bibi Dong's body, forming an elegant, silver gown. Her new form radiated grace and beauty, completely different from her old half-human, half-spider form!

Bibi Dong assessed herself, and sure enough, the abilities of her Martial Soul True Body remained unchanged. But now, she looked exactly how she wanted—sophisticated and powerful.

She was finally free from her old insecurity!

Hu Liena, standing nearby, was completely awestruck. Her teacher had never looked so stunning!
