Diary System - Chapter 43: The Difference Between a Pound of Iron and a Pound of Cotton - Dai Yichen is Even Better!
Silence enveloped the sleepless night.
Everyone present, including Zhu Zhuyun, who was more familiar with Dai Yichen, had not anticipated that Dai Yichen would win. However, the outcome was a slap in the face—Dai Yichen won, and he won very easily!
In the void, the three major teaching committees in the college exchanged glances, their expressions silent. They struggled to find words that could express the shock in their hearts. After so many years of cultivation, this was the first time they had witnessed such a situation.
"Well, should we relay this message back to His Majesty? The imperial physician he ordered to treat His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is still waiting, but now it seems the treatment target needs to change."
Dai Yichen looked at Dai Weisi, who was sitting on the ground, thought for a moment, and then extended a hand. "Brother, I don't care what you think in your heart, but I just want to tell you that fair competition is fine, but I don't want you to play any tricks in secret. Your talent is very powerful, but this is not a justification for arrogance!"
Dai Weisi snorted coldly, slapped Dai Yichen's outstretched hand away, and stood up on his own. His pride would not allow him to appear cowardly!
"You wait! This is just our first fight. This time I was careless. Next time, I will not lose!" Dai Weisi glared at Dai Yichen, then turned to leave, not looking back.
Dai Yichen sighed. Based on the upbringing of ordinary people in his previous life, he had decided to help, but he didn't expect to be rejected so ruthlessly.
As for today's battle, it was common in the royal family. To determine whether he held any animosity or dissatisfaction toward Dai Weisi, there was a little, but not much. After all, this was a normal process. As long as he wasn't attacked in secret, he wouldn't bother to care.
It was not his character to take the initiative to stir up trouble. If he had time, he preferred to practice more and cultivate his relationships with the Zhu sisters. After all, practice should be combined with work and rest.
Dai Weisi thought: "Okay, so this is what you're thinking! You're going to cheat me; must I still be nice to you?"
Dai Yichen considered that the relationship between men and women is founded on mutual attraction. If Zhu Zhuyun truly liked Dai Weisi, then he would not force it. After all, a forced melon is not sweet. Although it quenches thirst, why should he leave so many sweet melons and waste time on an unsweet one?
Zhu Zhuyun, ignoring the departed Dai Weisi, walked in front of Dai Yichen, unsure of what expression to wear.
"Brother Yichen, I didn't expect you to win."
Dai Yichen nodded and replied, "Well, it was just luck. This time, my brother was careless, which gave me the chance to win."
He said this modestly, but except for Dai Mubai, none of the people present were fools.
Did Dai Weisi truly become careless? They didn't think so. At the very least, he had used all his soul skills, yet he still lost in the end.
On the other hand, Dai Yichen had no injuries and appeared to be in very good condition.
Dai Yuxuan stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "I was worried about you just now. Can you tell me about that thing called Tiger Roar Flash? Is it your soul skill?"
Dai Yichen replied truthfully, "Well, my martial soul is quite special. In addition to being able to fight with armor, I can also summon a mount."
After speaking, Dai Yichen smiled. "Second brother, I've now defeated my eldest brother. Don't you have any extra thoughts about me?"
Dai Yuxuan looked bitter. He knew what Dai Yichen meant, so he could only respond helplessly, "No thoughts. You're a few years younger than me. In a few years, it will be a duel between my eldest brother and me. Zhu Yu and I can only do our best."
When they considered the potential loss of soul power after failure, they couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. However, being from the royal family, they had no real choice in the matter.
Zhu Zhuyun opened her mouth but held back her words. Everything would be fine.
Not long after, Dai Yichen returned to the luxurious single dormitory assigned to him by the academy. He began to write his diary for the day and watched the recorded video of the battle, silently reviewing it in his mind.
Yes, he had turned on the recording when the battle began. This was his first time fighting against someone with much higher soul power than himself. He knew there would certainly be some immature parts to the battle, and this video would allow him to recognize some flaws.

[Today is the registration day at Star Luo Imperial Academy. I didn't expect my three brothers to come to the academy with me. I don't even have to think about it; my cheap father is likely behind this operation. Of course, it may also be because I defeated Dai Mubai a few days ago, drawing the attention of the other two.]
[Sure enough, on the way to the academy, Dai Weisi caused trouble for me. He couldn't wait to suppress me. Originally, he had given me a month to prepare, but how could I agree? So after finishing the academy's affairs this evening, we began the battle!]
[After practicing for a while, I have also brought the "Energy Cultivation Method" and "Star Visualization Method" to an entry-level. Although I only have the sixteenth level of soul power now, the quality and total amount of my soul power is more than double that of others at the same level. If I have to compare it, I now possess at least the soul power equivalent to a mid-to-high-level grand soul master.]
[As I master the "Energy Cultivation Method," the quality and total amount of soul power in my body will improve further! Today, I finally experienced the characteristics of the White Tiger Ability Lock the more you fight, the braver you become. It truly enhances one's combativeness. As the battle progressed, I felt as though I had endless power, and my strength kept improving!]
[The last Shining Art I unleashed had the strength equivalent to that of a soul elder (3 rings). Dai Weisi believed he could block it with the White Tiger Shield Body Barrier, which was essentially impossible. If his third soul skill is the same White Tiger Vajra Transformation as Dai Mubai's in the original work, there might be a slim chance of success.]
[My Shining Art seems to possess a metallic cutting quality, which has a built-in defense-breaking effect. If it were just an ordinary soul shield defense, it would be somewhat ridiculous to block!]
[Fortunately, I recorded the battle video today, allowing me to review it. My attack methods are still too few. I lacked strategy when fighting Dai Weisi. If I had some knowledge of martial arts, such as palm techniques and strikes, I might have dealt with it more easily. Additionally, I have too little practical experience. I plan to use the mimic training room to practice whenever I have time in the next two days. I hope the simulated beast won't disappoint me too much!]
[I find that I seem to enjoy fighting now—the pleasure of boiling blood and an accelerated heartbeat during battle! Damn, I hope I won't gradually become a pervert! I used to be an upstanding young man; no matter what, I need to keep my heart, hehe!]

The video recorded by Dai Yichen was naturally viewed by the heroines far away across the world.
Initially, they all agreed that no matter how strong Dai Yichen was, he could not possibly be Dai Weisi's opponent, yet they seemed to have underestimated Dai Yichen's martial soul.
As for the so-called energy cultivation method, after watching this battle, they recognized the true power of this method. It seemed that it did not merely assist Dai Yichen's cultivation—it was immensely beneficial.
It allowed him to lay a solid foundation and face opponents at a much higher level—several levels higher!
Even as powerful as Bibi Dong, who possessed twin martial souls, she did not think that her soul power of more than ten levels could defeat a 3 ring soul elder!
At the same level, the soul power within Dai Yichen's body was like a pound of iron compared to a pound of cotton when compared to others.
Although both are a pound, the density of this iron is far greater than that of cotton.
What's more, Dai Yichen's soul power now possesses both the quality of iron and the quantity of cotton, which is even more terrifying!
Spirit Hall.
After about ten days of recuperation, the nine soul rings on Bibi Dong's first martial soul had returned to their original state. During this period, while her disciple Hu Liena came to care for her, she discovered that she had a copy of his diary!
Not only did Qian Renxue have a copy of the diary, but now even her disciples did too. What would she do if Dai Yichen revealed some of her past misdeeds later?
While other things might be easy to discuss, regarding Qianxunji, Qian Renxue always believed that Tang Hao seriously injured him, leading to Qianxunji's death, but in reality, she was the true perpetrator.
Upon returning from Slaughter City, the first test of the Rakshasa God was to use the power of Rakshasa to devour Qianxunji, who had persecuted her. The task came naturally to her, given that her hatred for Qianxunji had made her dizzy.
Had Qian Renxue not been protected by Qian Daoliu or sent on a mission to the Heaven Dou Empire, she did not know when she would have succumbed to the temptation to attack her.
However, as time passed, Bibi Dong found herself having strange feelings toward Qian Renxue. Several times, she wanted to call her close, but memories of the past quickly overwhelmed her with anger.
Now, if Qian Renxue learned from Dai Yichen's diary that her father died at her hands, the conflict between them would likely reach a boiling point, right? What should she do then?
The moment Bibi Dong understood that Qian Renxue possessed a copy of the diary, she was filled with tangled thoughts and confusion. She was relieved that Dai Yichen had only recorded some ordinary daily occurrences lately and had not mentioned her.
"Nana, what do you think of Dai Yichen's strength?" Bibi Dong finally sorted her emotions and spoke to Hu Liena beside her, keeping her expression neutral.
Today also marked the first day of the Spirit Hall Academy, but Hu Liena returned after registering.
"Teacher, if it's a head-on confrontation, I'm not his opponent. Dai Yichen himself said that his current normal strength is similar to that of a great soul master, but that's just soul power. If his mental power hasn't reached that of a grand soul master or even a soul elder level, I might stand a chance," Hu Liena replied in a low voice after a moment of silence.
She was now a soul elder like Dai Weisi, traveling the path of spiritual charm, where her mental power would greatly exceed her current soul power level. Nevertheless, even so, she was not sure she could defeat Dai Yichen.
After all, Dai Yichen's second martial soul, the Spiritual Eye, was a manifestation of spiritual power, along with a so-called spiritual power method.
