Writing a Diary Without Being Frivolous

Su Luo returned to his residence and began writing in his diary again.

【It’s finally Qing Bukuang’s turn. After losing this time, he began to decline.】

【Of course, his grand entrance will be given the respect it deserves.】

【As the strongest among the Seven Disciples, his treatment is naturally different.】

【To restore the dignity of the Seven Disciples, Qing Bukuang directly confronted Lin Xuan without any additional plot reasons—it was as simple as that.】

【But before fighting Lin Xuan, he had to deal with a few others.】

Xie Feiran, Gu Anxin, and others besieged Qing Bukuang, but they were easily defeated without even managing to injure him.

【Qing Bukuang mocked them a few times and then prepared to kill them.】

【At that moment, Lin Xuan made a dazzling entrance, saving his companions just in time.】

【Seeing his companions severely injured, Lin Xuan declared with a domineering tone, “I will never let you get away with this!”】

【This was exactly what Qing Bukuang wanted.】

【And so, the battle began.】

【From the start, Qing Bukuang displayed the overwhelming pressure of being the strongest among the Seven Disciples. His sword strikes were faster and faster, leaving Lin Xuan unable to keep up.】

【“Is this all you’ve got? You’re nothing special,” Qing Bukuang taunted.】

【Just when Qing Bukuang thought victory was within his grasp, Lin Xuan launched a counterattack, triggered by a flashback.】

【Lin Xuan recalled Elder Yan’s warning about a new technique he had been practicing—it wasn’t fully mastered yet and could cause him to lose control.】

【But now was the time to use it.】

【After the flashback, Lin Xuan decisively formed a fire lotus with his hands, swallowed it, and entered a berserk state.】

【Lin Xuan was enveloped in flames, his body adorned with fiery ornaments, and fiery wings sprouted from his back. Not only did he look incredibly cool, but his strength also increased dramatically.】

【His speed now matched Qing Bukuang’s, and the more the fire lotus burned within him, the more his power grew.】

【However, his attacks became less rational, driven purely by instinct. He no longer cared about his injuries.】

【This was expected, as Lin Xuan had lost his rationality and was fighting purely on instinct. Thankfully, his companions were already down, or he might have attacked them too.】

【Gradually, Qing Bukuang found himself at a disadvantage, suffering several injuries from Lin Xuan. This was something Qing Bukuang couldn’t accept.】

【At this moment, Qing Bukuang also had a flashback.】

【Once, Qing Bukuang had a close friend. They trained together, ate together, and even slept together. They shared everything and considered each other indispensable.】

【One day, their family demanded that the two of them fight to determine who was stronger. The winner would become the family head, and only one could survive—this was their family’s tradition.】

【Faced with such a ridiculous tradition, Qing Bukuang refused to comply, but they were trapped by their family until only one of them remained.】

【His friend decided to push Qing Bukuang, saying, “If only one of us can live, then let’s fight. The winner lives, and the loser dies.”】

【In the end, Qing Bukuang survived, weeping as he killed his friend.】

【Before dying, his friend said, “Qing Bukuang, I always knew you were stronger than me. So, live on, and carry my share. Become the strongest in the cultivation world!”】

【From then on, Qing Bukuang became the family head, but the following year, he destroyed his family and joined the Heavenly Demon Sect.】

【With this memory, Qing Bukuang unleashed his full power. He couldn’t lose—he had to become the strongest!】

【The tide of the battle turned once again. Even with his berserk state, Lin Xuan couldn’t defeat Qing Bukuang at this level.】

【With a single, bloodless strike, Qing Bukuang hit Lin Xuan with his signature move.】

【Lin Xuan was knocked to the ground.】

【Then, it was Lin Xuan’s turn for a flashback.】

【Lin Xuan thought of Elder Yan’s encouraging words and the reliance his Seven Stars Sword Sect companions placed on him—images filled with joy.】

【After experiencing the berserk state, Lin Xuan gained a new understanding.】

【He said, “I understand now.”】

【As Qing Bukuang prepared to finish Lin Xuan, Elder Yan was ready to take over Lin Xuan’s body.】

【But Lin Xuan refused Elder Yan, saying, “This time, I’ll handle it myself.”】

【The fire lotus reappeared, even more violent than before. Lin Xuan swallowed it without hesitation, but this time, he didn’t lose control.】

【He successfully mastered this power-boosting technique, naming it: Raging Fire Lotus.】

【In this state, Lin Xuan overpowered Qing Bukuang.】

【Finally, Qing Bukuang entered another flashback, but this time, it was useless. Lin Xuan defeated Qing Bukuang even in his final, desperate state.】

【Of course, even in defeat, Qing Bukuang had a way to escape and survived.】

Su Luo closed his diary, thinking that after writing so much, he might receive some kind of reward. But no, it was still just attribute points.

He instantly lost interest.

......

At the Seven Stars Sword Sect.

Li Siyi also noticed that the diary had been updated, but she wasn’t particularly interested in these entries about the Seven Disciples.

She wished Su Luo would write more about his own life instead.

Did Su Luo even understand what a diary was?

Honestly.

After a quick complaint about Su Luo, Li Siyi went about her business, successfully delivering the spirit stones to the Sect Master.

The Sect Master was overjoyed, especially since she also brought the method for using the spirit stones.

It was a series of pleasant surprises.

At this moment, the Sect Master couldn’t help but recall his initial interactions with Su Luo, when he had greatly underestimated him.

Now, Su Luo was the one with the most achievements.

The Sect Master had to admit that his judgment had been poor.

......

Jiang Ningshu also found these diary entries about the Seven Disciples boring, but since she had read the fewest entries, they still felt somewhat fresh to her.

Even if they were dull, she read them carefully, afraid she might miss something. She still hoped Su Luo would write more.

Perhaps, as Su Luo continued writing, he might reveal something astonishing.

But Su Luo was truly lazy—he never elaborated much.

Seeing nothing of interest, Jiang Ningshu continued her cultivation recovery.

Using the correct method, her cultivation was gradually being restored.

......

Nangong Xiyun also glanced at the diary and quickly closed it.

A day or two later, Nangong Xiyun noticed that she was being constantly harassed by others.

Upon investigation, she found that they were all subordinates of the other Seven Disciples.

Nangong Xiyun was puzzled—what had Su Luo done this time?

At this point, she didn’t know that Su Luo’s small flame explosion had angered the older Seven Disciples.

Under the orders of the Seven Disciples, their subordinates began targeting Su Luo’s followers.

Perhaps this was an indirect form of revenge—bullying Su Luo’s followers was equivalent to bullying Su Luo himself.

And as everyone knew, Su Luo didn’t care about the lives of his subordinates.

In other words, by beating up Su Luo’s followers, they were trying to suppress Su Luo.

If Su Luo didn’t intervene, they could claim he was a coward.

They aimed to ruin Su Luo’s reputation.

In short, they just wanted to annoy Su Luo.

Su Luo was unaware of all this, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. After all, it was just internal conflict within the Heavenly Demon Sect.

They could do whatever they wanted.

Su Luo had already stopped caring about such things.
