Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

"So I know very well that if I cultivate step by step like everyone else, my future is almost predetermined, and I will never be able to break through level 30!"

"That's why I thought of trying some other things."

"I've always been passionate about studying martial spirit knowledge, and I was hoping to find other ways!"

Gu Ziyi explained calmly.

That was indeed his initial thought. As for what would happen if the outcome was even worse?

If you're already that bad, what's wrong with being even worse?

After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Daoliu and the other two fell silent for a moment.

Only then did they realize that Gu Ziyi was trying to find another way because he himself lacked talent.

They couldn't really understand this feeling, after all, their talents were among the best.

However, they could understand why Gu Ziyi did this, and they also knew why Gu Ziyi was so keen on exploring and researching martial spirit knowledge.

A pang of heartache involuntarily surfaced in Bibi Dong's eyes. It turned out that her junior brother had been troubled by his own talent all along!

What's the difference between a self-formed soul ring and a soul beast soul ring?

After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu immediately changed the subject.

"Soul skills generated by my own Soul Ring are easier to master, and I can also freely enhance or weaken their effects. The higher my Soul Power level, the more I can improve the effects of my Soul Skills!"

"Moreover, I've compared it with many classmates before, and even though they all have the same first soul skill, the soul power consumed when casting a soul skill with a self-condensed soul ring is much less!"

Gu Ziyi immediately pointed out the two advantages of the self-condensing soul ring.

It is easier to control and consumes less energy.

"However, these are not the most valuable aspects of a self-formed soul ring!"

After explaining the two benefits of the Soul Condensation Ring, Gu Ziyi said this.

"Oh?"

What other benefits are there to self-formed soul rings?

Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened. He guessed that the person Gu Ziyi spoke to must be no ordinary person.

"Great Venerable One, Teacher, Senior Sister!"

"Wait a moment, you'll see for yourselves in a moment."

Gu Ziyi did not give the answer immediately, but kept it a secret for the time being.

Afterwards, Gu Ziyi sat down and began to meditate and cultivate.

Although they didn't know why Gu Ziyi was doing this, Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji naturally wouldn't interrupt him.

Bibi Dong watched Gu Ziyi's cultivation with curiosity and waited.

Gu Ziyi was now completely immersed in cultivation.

However, Gu Ziyi's purpose in this training was not to cultivate soul power, but to improve the quality of his soul rings.

A week ago, Gu Ziyi's first spirit ring had already reached the limit of ten-year quality and was about to be upgraded to a hundred-year spirit ring.

At that time, Gu Ziyi did not want to reveal that he could improve the quality of his spirit rings, so he suppressed the energy absorption of his first spirit ring and took the initiative to stop the evolution of his first spirit ring.

Now, Gu Ziyi no longer needs to hide it, and can upgrade in person to let Qian Daoliu and the others witness it.

Let them witness the upgrade of their self-condensed soul rings firsthand.

Immersed in cultivation, without Gu Ziyi's active restraint, energy flowed into his first soul ring with each cycle of his cultivation.

This process repeats itself, going through one cycle after another.

hum-

Finally, half an hour later, Gu Ziyi's first soul ring broke through a certain limit. A dazzling white light shone brightly, and a charming yellow color also bloomed in the white light.

Finally, the white light emitted by the first spirit ring was completely replaced by a yellow light.

Thus, Gu Ziyi's first spirit ring evolved into a yellow spirit ring of a hundred-year quality.

call--

After successfully upgrading his first spirit ring, Gu Ziyi immediately stopped cultivating.

"Great Master, Teacher, look!"

Then, Gu Ziyi stood up and summoned his martial soul and soul rings.

hum-

The familiar martial spirit appeared before Qian Daoliu and the others, but the two spirit rings that followed made their eyes widen in surprise.

"A hundred-year-old soul ring?"

"Yellow?"

"How can this be……"

Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong both exclaimed in surprise. Although Qian Daoliu did not exclaim aloud, the shock in his eyes was no less than that.

"Yes, my first spirit ring is also a hundred-year spirit ring!"

"This is the most precious aspect of a self-condensing soul ring: its quality can be improved through cultivation!"

Seeing the surprised expressions on Qian Daoliu and the other two's faces, Gu Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little smug, and then he spoke up.

"Upgrade the spirit rings..."

"It can actually improve the quality of spirit rings..."

"This is unbelievable!"

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Xunji was overwhelmed with excitement; this was a momentous matter.

While there have indeed been individuals in the Soul Master world who improved the quality of their Soul Rings through fortuitous encounters, there has never been a case where one could improve the quality of their Soul Rings through their own cultivation.

"Amazing!"

Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with stars at that moment.

"How could this be? If self-formed spirit rings can improve spirit ring quality, why were they eliminated before?"

Qian Daoliu was also very shocked, but after the initial shock, he quickly realized what he couldn't understand.

"It's because of advanced meditation techniques!"

"Only by pairing a self-formed soul ring with an advanced meditation technique can the quality of the soul ring be improved!"

"In ancient times, before the method of condensing soul rings was lost, advanced meditation techniques had not yet been discovered!"

Gu Ziyi said with a smile.

"That's right, no wonder you asked me when advanced meditation techniques appeared..."

"I see, so the Soul Condensation Ring requires advanced meditation techniques as well..."

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Xunji immediately remembered that Gu Ziyi had also asked him when the advanced meditation technique had appeared.

"I see!"

Qian Daoliu nodded, finally understanding.

If that's the case, then it makes sense!

For a moment, Qian Daoliu was also somewhat confused. The fact that condensing one's own soul ring could improve the quality of the soul ring was too big for him to handle.

Gradually, Qian Daoliu's gaze calmed down.

"Xiao Yi, tell me in detail about the self-condensed soul ring!"

"Also, how do you think our Spirit Hall should deal with the emergence of self-condensed spirit rings?"

Qian Daoliu also changed how he addressed Gu Ziyi. He first needed to learn more about the self-condensed soul ring from Gu Ziyi in order to make a proper response.

Furthermore, he had not forgotten Gu Ziyi's intelligence. Gu Ziyi must have thought about the impact of self-condensed soul rings on the soul master world after so many years of self-condensation. Therefore, Qian Daoliu also prepared to let Gu Ziyi share his thoughts.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"Actually, self-formed spirit rings aren't suitable for all spirit masters..."

……

Chapter 49 Self-Condensing Soul Ring

In Gu Ziyi's view, self-condensed soul rings are not suitable for all soul masters.

In ancient times, it was correct that the self-condensed soul ring was eliminated, because soul masters at that time paid more attention to evolving their martial souls.

Therefore, even now, not all Soul Masters are suited to self-condensed Soul Rings.

Because many Soul Masters' Martial Souls are still of too low quality, self-formed Soul Rings are not a good choice for them.

If one's innate talent quality is already low, and one cannot even cultivate their soul power level, then attempting to condense a soul ring on their own will only waste more time.

Most importantly, a self-formed spirit ring cannot evolve, and a low-quality spirit ring may not even be able to generate a spirit skill.

Then this Soul Master is completely useless!
