Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

hum-

As Gu Ziyi activated the soul bone, a cyan light suddenly emanated from it, which Gu Ziyi then controlled to land on the blank talisman in his other hand.

After the cyan light fell on the blank talisman, it immediately rippled and eventually calmed down.

At this moment, Gu Ziyi's blank talisman also changed, with some runes appearing out of thin air on it.

Original Soul Skill: Wind Rune!

The blank talisman now in Gu Ziyi's hand has transformed into a Windwalker Talisman with a soul skill.

It can increase speed by 30% after use.

A soul bone skill of millennium quality, a 30% boost is considered average.

The third soul skill of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has a damage rate of over 40%, and it is also an area-of-effect skill.

Bibi Dong, who was standing nearby, was not surprised at all when she saw this scene.

If it were only this level, Gu Ziyi would have achieved it long ago.

However, this level of research and development was not what Gu Ziyi wanted.

What we've achieved so far is simply transferring the soul skills from the soul bone to a blank talisman, and there's a time limit; if it's not used within a certain time, it will dissipate.

If that's all there is to it, Gu Ziyi might as well just bring the soul bone directly.

Therefore, this kind of transfer is not very effective.

However, this research and development achievement shocked the entire R&D department at the time, and even Qian Xunji was alarmed.

Besides Gu Ziyi's talismans, they had also tried transferring some soul bones and soul skills to other auxiliary martial soul items, but they had never succeeded.

But Gu Ziyi's talisman actually succeeded.

It was as if Gu Ziyi's talismans were naturally suited to be used to carry soul skills.

Then they found other soul bones for Gu Ziyi to try, but only one succeeded, while the others failed, because that one was also a thousand-year-old soul bone.

But this was enough to shock Chihiro and the research department.

Finally, Qian Xunji gave the last piece of soul bone to Gu Ziyi as a reward.

However, in the end, everyone discovered that Gu Ziyi's research results seemed to be useless. He simply transferred the soul bone and soul skill to a blank talisman, which was about the same as the effect of them holding the soul bone.

But I digress. Let's get back to the R&D site.

What needs to be done next is what Gu Ziyi has been researching.

hum-

Gu Ziyi then summoned another blank talisman.

Then Gu Ziyi first placed the completed Wind-Riding Talisman on the table, and then held the Soul Bone in one hand and the blank talisman in the other.

This time, however, Gu Ziyi didn't directly activate the soul skill on the soul bone. Instead, he looked at the inscription on the Wind Rune and started to copy and draw it.

The tool for painting was the Soul Bone in Gu Ziyi's hands.

Gu Ziyi's soul power passed through the soul bone, then emanated from the tip of the soul bone, and finally landed on the blank talisman.

Gu Ziyi tried to inscribe it directly with his soul power, but it didn't work; no trace appeared on the blank talisman.

Only through the transmission of soul bones can a mark be inscribed.

Gu Ziyi focused intently on inscribing, and a rune identical to the previous Wind Rune gradually appeared on the blank talisman.

Gu Ziyi was progressing very quickly in the previous ones.

Because those were all the results of Gu Ziyi's many attempts. He remembered clearly which stroke required more soul power, which stroke needed to be gradually increased, and which step needed to be lightly passed.

Just as it was about to end, the blank talisman in Gu Ziyi's hand suddenly vanished with a bang.

Then a gust of wind exploded, blowing Gu Ziyi so that he was covered in dust.

Failed again...

Just a little bit more!

Gu Ziyi calmly accepted the defeat and then prepared to continue.

"Oh dear, it was so close!"

"Junior brother, it's my turn to do it this time!"

Before it even started, Bibi Dong snatched away the soul bone in his hand and the blank talisman he had just summoned.

……

Chapter 43 Senior Sister Shows Off

"Didn't you promise not to cause trouble?"

Gu Ziyi looked calmly at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's level was higher than his, and she was faster than him. Gu Ziyi had no way to snatch things from him.

"I'm not causing trouble, I'm trying to help you!"

"As the senior sister, isn't it my duty to help the junior brother?"

Bibi Dong tilted her head back and smiled smugly.

"Alright, give me your hand now!"

After explaining, or rather, making excuses, Bibi Dong hurriedly urged Gu Ziyi.

Gu Ziyi didn't say anything after hearing this, because he knew that it would be useless to say anything, so he could only place his right hand on Bibi Dong's outstretched left hand.

After holding Bibi Dong's small hand, Gu Ziyi began to transfer his soul power to her.

Only his soul power can inscribe on his blank talisman through the soul bone; no one else's soul power can do that. Therefore, if Bibi Dong wants to play, she can only do so by having Gu Ziyi transfer his soul power to her.

Holding Bibi Dong's small hand, which was soft and comfortable, Gu Ziyi didn't have any fantasies; he wasn't a pervert.

After receiving the soul power transfer from Gu Ziyi, Bibi Dong began to use her right hand to hold the soul bone and inscribe it on the blank talisman, just like Gu Ziyi had done.

Bibi Dong did a great job on the first two-thirds, but she gradually slowed down towards the end.

At this moment, Bibi Dong nudged Gu Ziyi with her left elbow.

The signal was clear, urging Gu Ziyi to quickly provide her with guidance.

"here……"

Gu Ziyi, under the influence of the Purification Mantra, showed no emotion. Knowing that cooperating with Bibi Dong was the best option at this time, he immediately began to provide guidance.

With Gu Ziyi's guidance, Bibi Dong was able to continue engraving without interruption, but the speed still slowed down.

Gu Ziyi was already prepared for Bibi Dong to fail, and for the two of them to end up looking utterly humiliated.

To Gu Ziyi's surprise, Bibi Dong was surprisingly steady this time, gradually catching up with Gu Ziyi's previous progress, with only the last stroke remaining.

"I just wrote the next part with a lighter touch..."

In the last stroke, Gu Ziyi only explained the reasons for his failure and then did not provide any further guidance.

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Bibi Dong, who was holding the soul bone, finished the conversation with a heavy stroke.

hum-

Just after Bibi Dong finished writing the last stroke, the blank talisman suddenly emitted a bluish light before falling silent.

A talisman was fully formed, and the inscriptions on it were basically the same as those on the Windwalking Talisman that Gu Ziyi had made directly using his soul bone and soul skill.

“Yeah! It worked!”

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong jumped up excitedly.

She was overjoyed, never expecting to actually succeed, especially before Gu Ziyi.

"See? I already told you I was helping out!"

"Now that we've succeeded, hurry up and thank your senior sister!"

Then Bibi Dong showed off the Wind-Traveling Talisman she had made to Gu Ziyi.

"Yes, thank you for your help, Senior Sister!"

Gu Ziyi gave a speechless thank you, then took the soul bone back from Bibi Dong's hand: "I'll try again myself!"

This time, Bibi Dong didn't cause any trouble; she's actually quite excited now!

Gu Ziyi then began to inscribe again, this time very steadily, and soon reached the last stroke.

Following Bibi Dong's strokes, it was completed in one go.

hum-

A flash of cyan light disappeared in an instant, and another Windwalking Talisman was created.

"Not bad, not bad. With Senior Sister's demonstration, Junior Brother has finally succeeded." Bibi Dong was also excited for Gu Ziyi when she saw that he had succeeded, but she did not forget to take the credit for herself.

"Yes, thanks to my senior sister's demonstration!"

Gu Ziyi was speechless. He had already voluntarily lifted the Purification Mantra when he succeeded.
