Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

"In short, it means less time is spent cultivating soul power, leaving more time for cultivating other things!"

"In the original novel, Yu Xiaogang developed a relatively advanced method of circulating soul power, which he was very proud of. However, Tang San secretly commented that it already had the shadow of his previous life's internal energy cultivation method!"

"Tsk tsk, all I can see is a shadow..."

"I used to wonder why the Douluo Continent, with its tens or hundreds of thousands of years of development, couldn't develop any better internal cultivation methods and was easily defeated by Tang San, a martial arts world that had only developed for a few thousand years. It turns out that the soul masters of the Douluo Continent don't really care!"

"Even with advanced meditation techniques, it only helps to complete soul power cultivation ahead of schedule each day!"

Despite his complaints, Gu Ziyi was also tempted to try it out after learning that Yu Xiaogang had created his own advanced meditation technique.

Trying things haphazardly is dangerous.

Gu Ziyi didn't understand those meridians and acupoints.

However, Gu Ziyi felt that as long as he adhered to one principle, he should just do whatever made things comfortable.

Just like any ordinary meditation practice, it is comfortable at first.

That way, it's definitely not dangerous at all.

While it might be impossible to develop a genuine internal energy cultivation method, creating a slightly more advanced meditation technique should be no problem.

"You're being way too reckless!"

Gu Ziyi inadvertently revealed to Tang Yuehua and the other woman that he was tinkering with advanced meditation techniques.

When Tang Yuehua found out, she became anxious and quickly advised Gu Ziyi not to do anything rash.

"No, cultivation allows us to continuously evolve, that is, to evolve in a positive direction, and what is positive makes us feel comfortable!"

"As long as I stick to this principle, nothing will go wrong!"

Gu Ziyi said confidently.

“How could it be that simple…” Although Gu Ziyi’s words made sense, Tang Yuehua still felt that Gu Ziyi was acting recklessly.

Seeing that Gu Ziyi didn't seem to be giving up, Tang Yuehua opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

She naturally possessed advanced meditation techniques.

She not only possesses her own family's advanced meditation techniques, but also advanced meditation techniques from other sects, all of which her father found to help her solve the problem of her inability to cultivate.

None of it helped her!

Out of consideration for their friendship, Tang Yuehua didn't want to see Gu Ziyi act recklessly, so she wondered if she could teach Gu Ziyi one of the methods.

She understood the pain of wanting to cultivate oneself but not knowing the right method.

"Cousin, since he's so confident, let him give it a try!"

But before Tang Yuehua could speak, Bailu stopped her.

"Gu Ziyi, you can try it, but remember to stop immediately if you find anything wrong. This kind of thing is still very dangerous!"

However, after stopping Tang Yuehua, Bai Lu still said something that was for Gu Ziyi's sake.

"...Of course, I wouldn't joke around with my own life!"

Gu Ziyi smiled and agreed.

He secretly lamented that Bailu, that long-legged girl, had ruined things!

In the days that followed, Gu Ziyi would spend some time each day studying advanced meditation techniques.

Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu were both worried and curious about Gu Ziyi's behavior, so they would ask him about his progress every few days.

Then Tang Yuehua would also participate in Gu Ziyi's research, occasionally suggesting that Gu Ziyi might be better off changing direction, and then directly suggesting a direction for circulating soul power to Gu Ziyi.

Therefore, Gu Ziyi and Tang Yuehua could often be seen discussing a figure drawing filled with lines in the library.

Since it wasn't appropriate to directly teach Gu Ziyi advanced meditation techniques, she would offer suggestions one by one.

After Bailu noticed this, she didn't stop her anymore, because she could tell that Tang Yuehua was only suggesting things occasionally and hadn't come up with a complete set of suggestions.

Moreover, Gu Ziyi doesn't adopt all suggestions. Many suggestions were abandoned after Gu Ziyi tried them and said they didn't work smoothly.

Tang Yuehua didn't dare to offer any more suggestions after that.

However, she and Bailu had a feeling that Gu Ziyi was really going to develop an advanced meditation technique.

Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

……

Chapter 14 Soul Ring Enhancement

"Cousin, do you think Gu Ziyi is really going to create his own advanced meditation technique?"

Tang Yuehua couldn't help but feel hopeful when she thought of this possibility.

Now she admires Gu Ziyi more and more, and without realizing it, she has developed feelings for him.

She thought Gu Ziyi was amazing.

"I don't know, creating an advanced meditation technique isn't that simple..."

Although Bailu had this premonition, she was unwilling to admit it.

"Well, I hope he succeeds..."

……

Six months after enrollment.

Gu Ziyi's soul power level has increased by one level again, breaking through to level 13.

Most of the students in the class have also improved.

Only Tang Yuehua remained at level 9 after six months of enrollment, while one of her classmates who also started at level 9 has now broken through to level 10 and become a Soul Master.

Although everyone was a little puzzled, they were still unaware that Tang Yuehua was actually unable to cultivate.

It's quite normal for many Soul Masters to get stuck at higher levels.

"That's the feeling!"

On this day, while continuing to try to create his own advanced meditation technique, Gu Ziyi finally managed to circulate his soul power throughout his body without feeling any discomfort.

"Success!"

Although he had a premonition and was confident, Gu Ziyi still couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment when the moment of success arrived.

Suppressing his joy, Gu Ziyi practiced his self-created advanced meditation technique several more times before he was certain that he had truly succeeded.

Gu Ziyi then began to practice the advanced meditation technique he had created!

Even without using the Purification Mantra talisman, Gu Ziyi experienced a smoother energy conversion process.

After comparing the results, Gu Ziyi found that his own Purification Mantra was faster.

It seems that my self-created advanced meditation technique isn't that advanced after all!

"That's normal, I don't understand the real internal energy cultivation methods!"

Gu Ziyi smiled slightly, not caring at all.

"The Purification Mantra!"

Then, Gu Ziyi summoned a Purification Mantra talisman and used it on himself.

Gu Ziyi planned to see the effect of using the Purification Mantra and Advanced Meditation Technique together.

The result was somewhat unexpected for Gu Ziyi. The combined effect of the two methods did not reach the point where one plus one equals two, and it did not even reach the point where one plus one equals five.

However, the combination of the two factors did have the effect of making Gu Ziyi's soul power cultivation faster.

"Ok?"

While under the influence of the Mind-Cleansing Mantra, Gu Ziyi felt no disappointment, but rather made an unexpected discovery with remarkable composure.

Gu Ziyi's soul power would pass through the dantian, the location of his martial soul, with each rotation.

Therefore, every cycle of soul power circulation passes through the martial soul.

Then, after each complete cycle, a little bit of soul power would be absorbed by the martial soul, but Gu Ziyi did not sense any residual soul power in the martial soul.

"Where did you go?"

Gu Ziyi's attention was instantly drawn to it.

Then, in the following week, Gu Ziyi focused all his senses on his martial soul.

When the next cycle was completed, Gu Ziyi, who had focused all his senses on his martial soul, finally discovered where the soul power had gone.

"Soul ring?"

Gu Ziyi suddenly opened his eyes, and even under the purification spell, he was somewhat out of control.

This shows the shock Gu Ziyi felt at that moment.

Even before creating his own spirit rings, Gu Ziyi had wondered if the spirit rings he condensed would be more free, not only in terms of using spirit skills, but also in terms of whether the quality of the spirit rings could be improved, instead of being restricted.

This is why Gu Ziyi insisted on creating his own soul rings.

However, after successfully creating his own spirit ring, Gu Ziyi made many attempts, but none of them succeeded.
