Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

Gu Ziyi had read "Douluo Continent: Starting from Destroying Soul Rings".

Of course, Su Xing destroyed his spirit ring in order to prevent his spirit skills from being limited by the spirit ring.

If the spirit ring is formed by oneself, then this problem does not exist.

Therefore, Gu Ziyi felt that it was enough to try creating his own soul ring; there was no need to go all out.

As for how to create his own spirit rings, Gu Ziyi already had an idea.

To this end, Gu Ziyi asked all the teachers in the school, as well as two senior students who had already graduated and were still in school who had broken through level 10 and absorbed a spirit ring.

Gu Ziyi mainly asked them about the detailed process of absorbing the soul beast's soul ring.

The school didn't teach this at all.

The explanation of absorbing a spirit ring simply states that you need to find a suitable spirit beast, hunt it down, and then absorb the spirit ring directly.

As for the specifics of the absorption process, there is absolutely no answer.

Perhaps it's because they don't think it's important at all; they can just hunt down and absorb the soul beasts anyway.

Most of the teachers and students who were asked by Gu Ziyi couldn't give a clear answer.

"Just absorb the spirit rings of the spirit beasts, and then everything will be fine!"

"The details? I don't remember them either..."

"It involves absorbing the spirit beast's spirit ring into oneself, then refining it. Once the refining is complete, my first spirit ring will be formed!"

"Could you elaborate? The spirit rings absorbed into my body are first absorbed by my martial spirit, and only then do I begin to refine them..."

"..."

After combining everyone's recollections and confirming with multiple parties, Gu Ziyi learned the truth about absorbing the soul ring.

Soul Masters hunt soul beasts and absorb the soul rings generated after the soul beasts die; these rings are not directly condensed onto the Soul Master.

Instead, after being absorbed into the Soul Master's body, it is first absorbed by the Soul Master's Martial Soul, and then after a certain period of absorption, it is finally transformed into the Soul Master's own Soul Ring.

Looking beyond the surface, the final formation of a Soul Master's Soul Rings is achieved through their Martial Soul.

As for whether the final soul ring a soul master condenses is the same one that the soul beast possesses, Gu Ziyi expressed doubt.

All the Soul Masters said that it came from a Soul Beast.

Gu Ziyi, however, thought that it was not so. It was just a soul ring that had been absorbed and refined by the soul master's martial soul and then re-condensed by combining the characteristics of the soul beast's soul ring.

The performance of many Soul Skills is proof of this.

Except for some Soul Masters with special Martial Souls, the Soul Skills they condense are fixed regardless of what kind of Soul Beast's Soul Ring they absorb. Other Soul Masters condense Soul Skills by combining their own Martial Soul and the characteristics of the Soul Beast.

Whether the soul rings on a soul master's body are from the soul beasts they hunted, or whether they are re-formed after absorbing the soul rings of soul beasts, is not a concern for the soul masters here, but Gu Ziyi is very concerned about this.

This is precisely the key reason why Gu Ziyi is preparing to create his own spirit rings.

If we consider the absorbed spirit beast spirit rings as energy, then it is like injecting energy into the martial spirit, causing it to transform and condense into the spirit master's own spirit ring.

So what if the Soul Master injects Soul Power into their Martial Soul themselves, without relying on Soul Beast Soul Rings?

Does this mean that a Soul Master can then condense their own Soul Ring?

Gu Ziyi wasn't sure about this either.

Because if that's really the case, wouldn't it be very simple?

Shouldn't the Soul Masters here have discovered this long ago?

Even if this is the truth, Gu Ziyi wouldn't be surprised.

The Soul Masters here failed to discover this because they were limited by their past habitual thinking.

They believe that the soul rings needed by soul masters must be obtained by hunting soul beasts.

No one had ever thought of breaking with convention that Soul Masters could actually condense Soul Rings.

This is something others wouldn't even dare to think about, but it's not a problem for Gu Ziyi. As a modern person, he receives far too much information, and there's nothing he wouldn't dare to think about.

"call--"

"let's start!"

Gu Ziyi took a deep breath, then closed his eyes again, calmed his mind, and focused on himself.

Gu Ziyi, who had been calming his mind, quickly sensed the existence of his own martial spirit.

Then, Gu Ziyi controlled the soul power within his body and began to inject it into his martial soul.

hum-

Gu Ziyi's soul power was easily injected into his martial soul under his control.

In Gu Ziyi's consciousness, he saw his martial soul talisman tremble slightly, emitting a faint glow as soul power flowed in.

Everything is going smooth.

However, after Gu Ziyi poured all his soul power into his martial soul, the martial soul talisman did not change except for the fluorescence emanating from it becoming brighter and brighter.

Gu Ziyi no longer had any extra soul power to inject.

"...It failed!"

Gu Ziyi opened his eyes and sighed with some disappointment.

As Gu Ziyi stopped injecting soul power into his martial soul, the soul power in the martial soul naturally flowed out and returned to Gu Ziyi.

Gu Ziyi then tried several more times, but all of them failed.

His martial soul did not generate any spirit rings.

"Am I wrong, or is there another reason?"

Gu Ziyi frowned, wondering if there was any oversight.

Is it because there isn't enough energy?

If we really consider the soul beast's soul ring as a form of energy, then perhaps the energy is insufficient.

This was the only reason Gu Ziyi could think of.

"Then I'll continue cultivating for a while before trying again!"

Gu Ziyi gritted his teeth and decided to give it another try.

Therefore, he preferred to wait until later to attach a spirit ring to his martial soul, since even if he asked the academy to help him hunt for spirit rings, they would basically only be white spirit rings of ten-year quality.

Unless you're extremely lucky, the academy doesn't have the resources to help students find suitable hundred-year-old soul rings.

Even Xiao Chenyu, the son of the city lord of Notting City in the original work, only had a white soul ring of ten-year quality as his first soul ring.

Even Su Yuntao, a deacon who joined the Spirit Hall, had a white first spirit ring.

This shows how difficult it is to live in a small place.

Furthermore, even if you don't absorb a soul ring to break through after reaching level 10, you can still continue to cultivate and improve your soul power; you just won't be able to level up.

Therefore, even if Gu Ziyi fails to create his own spirit ring in the end, it won't slow him down by much.

"I refuse to believe it really can't be done!"

Chapter 4 White Soul Ring

"Gu Ziyi, have you broken through to level 10?"

……

"Not yet? Don't worry, just focus on your training. You'll definitely be able to break through to level 10 before graduation..."

……

"That's strange. Judging by Gu Ziyi's speed, he should have already broken through to level 10. I didn't expect him to still not have broken through after so long..."

"Yeah, levels 9 to 10 shouldn't be too difficult..."

"..."

……

Another six months have passed.

During this time, Gu Ziyi did not reveal that he had broken through to level 10, which attracted a lot of attention.

However, Gu Ziyi was already under a lot of attention, so he didn't care much about it.

He concealed the truth simply because he didn't want to explain why he didn't add a soul ring to his martial soul after breaking through level 10.

Because he needs to hide the fact that he created his own spirit ring!

Regardless of whether his self-created spirit ring was successful or not, Gu Ziyi did not want others to know for the time being.

This time, Gu Ziyi attempted to condense his own soul ring once again.

hum-

Gu Ziyi skillfully channeled all his soul power into his martial soul.
