Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

It's time to celebrate the successful development.

Gu Ziyi could actually understand why Bibi Dong disliked the Purification Mantra; generally speaking, Gu Ziyi didn't like it either.

"Did we succeed?"

Bibi Dong still couldn't quite believe that something Gu Ziyi had researched for so long could be successfully accomplished by her with just a few tweaks.

"Of course it was a success, but we'll have to wait and see how effective it is."

Gu Ziyi affirmed.

Then, Gu Ziyi took out the talisman he had inscribed and examined it.

Wind Charm: Increases speed by 15% when used.

Gu Ziyi quickly realized that the effect of the Windwalking Talisman he had inscribed was much weaker than that of directly replicating it using a Soul Bone or Soul Skill.

But at least it was a success.

"My Windwalking Talisman only increased my speed by 5%, that's way too weak!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong also examined the Wind Rune she had inscribed, and a disdainful voice rang out.

"It's normal for the effect to be weaker at first; it would be abnormal if it were the same as before!" Gu Ziyi commented.

"I see. So, junior brother, what was the effect on you? Was it the same as mine?" Bibi Dong accepted this and then asked Gu Ziyi about it.

"Mine is 15%!"

Gu Ziyi's lips curled up slightly, "Let you be smug just now."

"Oh no, what?! The difference is so huge!"

"I don't care, it must be because you didn't give me enough soul power just now."

"I want to come again!"

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's answer, Bibi Dong's face immediately fell, and she retorted defiantly.

"It doesn't matter how many times I come, since it's my soul power. It's normal for me to be able to perform even better!"

"Senior sister, please stop causing trouble. I need to summarize first."

Gu Ziyi waved his hand, indicating that he was no longer going to indulge Bibi Dong.

Having finally succeeded in developing the technology, he naturally wanted to summarize his experience.

"Hmph, then I'll go find the teacher and tell him I did it!"

Bibi Dong gave a light snort, then hopped away with the Wind-Traveling Talisman she had made herself.

She's going to show off to Qian Xunji.

Gu Ziyi watched Bibi Dong's retreating figure, smiled wryly, shook his head, and then ignored her.

hum-

Then Gu Ziyi summoned another blank talisman and continued the inscription process.

This is the benefit of successfully developing self-inscription technology. By using soul bones as paintbrushes to create talismans, Gu Ziyi can keep creating them as long as he has enough soul power.

If a soul bone is used to activate a soul skill and inscribe it onto a talisman, the soul bone can only be activated three times. After that, the soul bone needs to be nurtured with soul power to restore it.

It will take at least a day.

In summary, before Gu Ziyi's research was successful, he could only produce three Wind Talismans a day, but now there is no limit.

However, Gu Ziyi was still unable to completely get rid of the limitations of the soul bone, and he had to carry the soul bone to create the self-made Wind Talisman.

Gu Ziyi inscribed one homemade Wind-Traveling Talisman after another until he had exhausted more than half of his soul power.

Gu Ziyi checked and found that the amplification level of the Windwalking Talismans he created was between 15% and 20%.

It seems I need to keep practicing.

boom--

At this time, the door was pushed open.

"Junior brother, I've brought the teacher with me!"

……

Chapter 44, Level 20

"Xiao Yi, did you make all of these?"

After Qian Xunji arrived, he quickly saw the dozen or so Wind Talismans that Gu Ziyi had made.

"Yes, teacher!"

Gu Ziyi replied.

"Excellent, excellent! You truly are my disciple, you have not disappointed your teacher!"

Qian Xunji burst into laughter.

When Qian Xunji learned that Gu Ziyi's soul power could be inscribed on his talisman through soul bones, he realized that Gu Ziyi might succeed.

Qian Xunji was overjoyed to see that Gu Ziyi had actually succeeded.

At least Gu Ziyi's ability to research soul skills surprised him greatly.

Everyone in the research department praised Gu Ziyi.

This made him, as a teacher, feel very proud.

"Teacher, I'm not a problem either!"

"My junior brother succeeded thanks to my help."

Bibi Dong then proudly began to recount her own contributions.

"Yes, yes, Dong'er is very capable too!"

Chihiro laughed heartily.

"Come on, let the teacher see these wind charms you made!"

Qian Xunji then examined the wind-traveling talismans that Gu Ziyi had made, confirming that Gu Ziyi had indeed successfully researched and developed them.

"Xiao Yi, don't you think your martial spirit is actually not simple?"

After the initial surprise, Qian Xunji suddenly asked Gu Ziyi a question.

Long before, Qian Xunji realized that Gu Ziyi's martial soul was not so simple. The special soul skills were fine, but the main problem was that Gu Ziyi's martial soul could actually be inscribed with soul bones and soul skills.

This is something that no other auxiliary martial soul can do.

But Gu Ziyi's talisman martial soul is capable of that.

"Yes, teacher, that's what I think too!"

"Back when I awakened my martial soul..."

Upon hearing Qian Xunji's words, Gu Ziyi did not hide anything and immediately recounted the strange phenomena he had seen in his consciousness when he awakened his martial soul.

It's no big deal to say this; it won't change anything.

Bibi Dong, who was standing next to her, blinked after hearing this, her eyes full of surprise. She hadn't expected that something like this would happen when Gu Ziyi awakened his martial soul.

"As expected, your martial spirit is not simple!"

"It seems there was a problem with the mutation, resulting in a defect that caused your martial soul to be of too low quality..."

"But judging from the performance of your martial soul, it doesn't seem to be a low-quality martial soul. Neither your soul skills nor the abilities of the soul skills inscribed on your soul bones should be befit a low-quality martial soul..."

"But no matter what, your innate soul power is indeed only level 1!"

Qian Xunji sighed one last time, looking somewhat melancholy.

Gu Ziyi fell silent upon hearing this.

Because he knew what Qian Xunji was regretting.

A Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 has too low a potential.

To date, no Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 has been able to cultivate to Level 30 and become a Soul Venerable.

A Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 can only reach the level of a Level 29 Great Soul Master at most.

The situation is the same as that of Yu Xiaogang in the original work.

Furthermore, it is not easy for a Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 to cultivate to Level 29; very few people can actually do it.

Gu Ziyi only learned after arriving in Douluo Continent that the level of innate soul power is divided into only 1 to 10 levels, with level 10 being the innate full soul power.

Apart from that, there is no concept of half a level in the classification of innate soul power levels.

In other words, Yu Xiaogang's claim of having half a level of soul power in the original work was merely a statement he created himself.

That's true. His innate soul power was already low, so he might as well say it was even lower. This way, it would prove that it's still amazing that he could cultivate to level 29 with only half a level. It's not his fault that he couldn't break through to level 30, since he only had half a level and didn't even have level 1.

This was actually a concern that Gu Ziyi had been worried about ever since he learned about the situation of innate soul power level 1.

He doesn't mind if the upgrades are slow; he's just afraid of reaching the limit and being unable to upgrade any further.
