Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

"Do you even realize what you're saying? This throwing knife actually broke through my defenses, and you call that 'average'?" Gu Rong exclaimed in disbelief.

Su Ming calmly nodded. "Just a surprise, Grandpa Gu. You weren't even using your full defense; it was just your casual barrier."

Gu Rong wasn't as amused. While he had only used a casual defense, Su Ming's attack had been equally casual. This wasn't a comforting realization.

Ning Fengzhi asked, "Su Ming, if Rongrong uses these five throwing knives, will she be able to achieve the same power?"

Su Ming shook his head. "Probably not. With her current abilities, reaching even an entry-level Title Douluo's power with them would already be impressive."

"The throwing knives were so effective in my hands because I imbued them with a special attribute: the power of destruction."

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment. "Is that the dark aura on the knives?"

"Exactly. This destructive power is an ability I've recently developed through my eyes," Su Ming replied.

Then he gave Gu Rong a mischievous look. "Grandpa Gu, how about we find a spacious place and really test it out?"

Gu Rong felt a chill run down his spine. Moments ago, he'd boldly claimed that Su Ming couldn't break his defense, insisting they give it a try. But now he was starting to feel as if "try" might turn into "die."

With a forced smile, Gu Rong tried, "Su Ming, how about we check on Rongrong first?"

Before he could protest further, Su Ming teleported him and Ning Fengzhi to the plaza outside the Pope's Palace.

In transit, Su Ming secretly handed Ning Fengzhi a protective soul tool called the "Heaven's Blessing," explaining how to activate it. By channeling spirit power into the tool, it could fend off attacks from a Title Douluo. Unless drained of power, it was nearly unbreakable.

Ning Fengzhi felt a surge of curiosity. Was this soul tool truly so remarkable? He trusted Su Ming implicitly, but the soul tool's power was hard to believe.

Over the past half hour, Ning Fengzhi's understanding of Su Ming had deepened. He admired Su Ming's vision, even if he didn't fully understand his dedication to aiding ordinary people. Su Ming envisioned a Spirit Hall nation where even commoners could live stable lives without poverty.

Facing Gu Rong, Su Ming activated his Eternal Mangekyō, and his aura changed instantly. His usual gentle demeanor was replaced by an intense, commanding presence.

"Grandpa Gu, make sure to defend with all you've got," Su Ming warned. "I'm aiming at Uncle Ning, and don't even think about using Bone Dragon's spatial abilities to dodge. Spatial skills are also my specialty, so running won't help you. Stand your ground!"

Su Ming's taunts only further riled Gu Rong. A muscle twitched in his forehead—being lectured by a youngster was infuriating.

"Su Ming! Fine, bring it on!" Gu Rong was finally done holding back.

"Seventh Spirit Skill, True Bone Dragon Form!"

"Ninth Spirit Skill, Bone Transformation Dragon God!"

Despite his bravado, Gu Rong took Su Ming seriously. Su Ming's bond with them meant he'd never seriously harm Ning Fengzhi, but he wasn't about to let his friend down by failing to defend him.

As Su Ming's eyes opened, he appeared at the center of Susanoo's forehead. His lips curved in a faint smile as he watched Gu Rong. He felt the urge to test a new move.

With that, Su Ming unleashed his technique.

"Destruction Domain!"

A dark energy spread from Su Ming's center, engulfing the entire plaza in his domain. The sudden burst of power quickly drew the attention of others, including Ning Rongrong and Bibi Dong, who rushed over.

"Su Ming! Father! Grandpa Bone! What's going on here?" Rongrong called out, worry filling her voice.

Alarmed, she worried her father and Su Ming hadn't come to an agreement. Gu Rong had even activated his True Bone Dragon form and ninth spirit skill, indicating the battle's intensity. She knew her grandfather was no match for Su Ming's strength, especially after what she'd seen of him facing Sea God's avatar.

Bibi Dong shared a tense look as she stepped in. "Su Ming, Lord Ning, what are you doing?"

Hearing Rongrong's panicked voice, Su Ming quickly transmitted to Bibi Dong, "Teacher, stop them from entering the domain. I've got it under control; Lord Ning has agreed."

Bibi Dong's eyes sparkled, relieved to hear that Ning Fengzhi had agreed. But that left her wondering what was happening now. Still, trusting Su Ming's judgment, she moved to block the others.

"You must stay back. Su Ming knows what he's doing," she said, briefly explaining the negotiations to them.

Yet Rongrong's worry persisted, finding it hard to believe this was merely a sparring match given their intense demeanor.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who stood within Su Ming's Destruction Domain, felt an oppressive discomfort. It was reminiscent of Tang Hao's Killing God Domain but somehow different. They realized their spirit power was rapidly depleting, instinctively pushing back against the aura. Otherwise, the destructive energy would have started to erode their bodies.

Su Ming himself was surprised by the domain's effects, as the budding Destruction Domain seemed to carry elements of his self-created techniques.
