Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

The audience was initially confused; how did Canghui Academy end up defeated? And why did some members of the Heaven Dou team look so bewildered on stage?

"The match is over! Victory goes to the Heaven Dou team!" the announcer declared.

Many in the crowd were scratching their heads—how did the Heaven Dou team manage to win?

At that moment, Canghui Academy's new lead teacher stepped forward angrily, "Referee! I suspect the Heaven Dou team attempted intentional harm! Look at our team members; they've suffered severe mental trauma!"

Su Ming calmly replied, "If you're going to make accusations, you better bring evidence. We have a Title Douluo present, and it's clear that Canghui Academy's seven-in-one fusion skill was meant to turn us into mindless fools. All I did was return the favor."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu and the others understood what Su Ming had done—Canghui Academy had essentially been hurt by their own attack, just like Yu Yuanzhen had.

The crowd began discussing this revelation in hushed but intense voices, with some even throwing stones at the Canghui instructor. Facing this sudden hostility, Canghui Academy's team quickly retreated, disgraced and humiliated.

Nearby, Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San, "Little San, could you see how Su Ming's team managed to counter Canghui Academy's attack with your Purple Demon Eyes?"

Tang San nodded, "I think I saw spatial distortions behind each of Su Ming's team members, and somehow Canghui's attack was reversed back onto them. It has to be Su Ming's doing!"

Yu Xiaogang felt perplexed—spatial manipulation? Wasn't Su Ming's spirit supposed to be wood-based? How could he have spatial abilities?

Oscar added, "Do you think it might have been Xiao Wu's fifth spirit ability? Her third spirit ability is already a spatial technique. Maybe her fifth ability is too."

Tang San considered this possibility. Though he briefly thought of Su Ming's unique eyes, he dismissed the notion—his own Purple Demon Eyes didn't have such abilities, so he couldn't believe Su Ming's could.

Elsewhere, Dugu Bo approached Su Ming, patting him on the shoulder with a grin. "That was some move back there, kid. Perfect timing to make them taste their own medicine."

Su Ming chuckled, "I wasn't planning on it initially, but seeing how Canghui Academy intended to go all-out, they deserved it."

Just then, Yu Feng and the other Heaven Dou members crowded around, amazed. "Captain, how did you do that? That was incredible!"

Su Ming smiled, "Let's just say that my mental strength is solid. Their illusion was at most at the level of a Spirit Emperor, so I managed to deflect the damage back onto them. As for how, well, that's my secret."

Though slightly disappointed, they respected Su Ming's right to keep his tactics confidential. Then one of them asked, "Captain, you said they used a seven-in-one fusion technique, not a martial spirit fusion. Is there a big difference?"

Dugu Bo, seeing Su Ming glance at him, stepped in to explain, "It's a massive difference. A seven-in-one fusion technique merely combines abilities, while a seven-in-one martial spirit fusion merges spirits entirely, greatly amplifying the resulting skill. If Canghui Academy had performed a true martial spirit fusion, the backlash would've obliterated your minds instantly."

The team was stunned to realize how vast the gap was between the two techniques. In the history of the continent, a martial spirit fusion involving more than three people had never been documented, let alone seven.

"Old monster, do you think a seven-in-one martial spirit fusion skill is even possible?" Su Ming asked, curious.

Dugu Bo paused before responding, "No chance. At least, nothing like it has ever appeared on the continent. Unless…some miraculous mother bore septuplets, each with an identical martial spirit," he said with a hint of humor.
