Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

"So I can actually cultivate on my own!"

"We'll talk about the rest later!"

After some thought, Gu Ziyi temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​joining a faction.

……

The next day, Gu Ziyi went to the Spirit Hall branch in Liusha City to undergo Spirit Master certification and registration.

"Name……"

"age……"

"And martial spirits..."

"..."

When questioned by the registration staff of the Spirit Hall branch, Gu Ziyi answered them one by one.

Prior to this, Gu Ziyi had already summoned his martial soul and soul rings under the witness of the other party, proving that he had indeed broken through level 11 and acquired soul rings, and had become a true soul master.

That's right, after Gu Ziyi condensed his soul ring, his level successfully broke through to level 11.

After registering and being certified by the Spirit Hall, Gu Ziyi can receive a newcomer subsidy of one gold spirit coin every month from the Spirit Hall.

This was quite important to Gu Ziyi, because with the subsidy, he no longer needed to be a work-study student, working part-time at school while studying.

"Alright, here's your Soul Master badge!"

"With this, you can collect your monthly newcomer subsidy at the window outside. I hope you can make good use of the subsidy to cultivate diligently, make your own contribution to the continent in the future, and become an upright and useful Soul Master!"

The registration staff handed the completed Soul Master badge to Gu Ziyi, which contained Gu Ziyi's information.

"Ok, thank you!"

Gu Ziyi accepted the Soul Master badge and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Regardless of who issued the new employee subsidy, it was a great help to Gu Ziyi.

After graduating from the junior soul master academy, there are no more work-study students at the intermediate soul master academy; tuition fees are required.

And the tuition fee is not low.

However, as long as Gu Ziyi completes the Soul Master registration at the Spirit Hall, the newcomer subsidy he receives will be enough to enroll in the intermediate Soul Master Academy.

After leaving the certification office, Gu Ziyi immediately went outside to collect her monthly subsidy with the badge.

After returning to Liusha Academy, Gu Ziyi also declined the work assigned to him by his teacher.

Why are you suddenly turning down the job the school arranged for you?

The teacher, naturally concerned, inquired about Gu Ziyi's situation.

"Teacher, because I have broken through level 10, absorbed my first spirit ring, and completed the certification and registration at the Spirit Hall!"

As Gu Ziyi spoke, he summoned his martial spirit.

"Good, good, you've finally broken through to level 10!"

"I never expected you to be so fast, you even have spirit rings!"

The teacher was naturally delighted upon seeing this and praised Gu Ziyi repeatedly.

"Thanks to the guidance of the academy and my teachers, I was able to become a Soul Master!"

Gu Ziyi said with a smile.

"This is also the result of your own hard work. Is your martial soul a battle martial soul or a support martial soul? What is your first soul skill?"

Upon hearing this, the teacher laughed even more heartily, and then curiously asked Gu Ziyi for more information.

Because he also believed that Gu Ziyi's martial soul was a mutation of a paper martial soul, which was unprecedented, he was unclear about the classification of Gu Ziyi's martial soul.

Beast-type martial souls are all battle-type martial souls, while weapon-type martial souls depend on the effects of their soul skills.

"It should be an auxiliary martial soul. My first soul skill is to summon a purifying spell talisman, which can remove abnormal mental states and also provides a certain degree of immunity to mental soul skills!"

Gu Ziyi pondered for a moment before replying.

This interpretation of the Purification Mantra is also valid; it's an additional effect of the Purification Mantra's effects, which shows that the Purification Mantra is quite powerful.

Furthermore, Gu Ziyi didn't specify the duration, because the duration of the Cleansing Heart Spell he summoned was not fixed, depending entirely on his proficiency and how much soul power he infused into it.

This is probably the characteristic of the soul skills born from the soul rings one condenses; one can use one's soul skills very freely.

"It's a support type!"

"The Purification Mantra Talisman, is it a soul skill similar to an antidote?"

The teacher was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as such a soul skill was quite rare; he had never heard of it before, so it could be considered very precious.

It seems like we don't use it very often!

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that Gu Ziyi has successfully become a Soul Master, and the academy will have another Soul Master graduating student.

This is an honor that belongs to the entire academy!

"Keep up the good work! Your teacher believes you will definitely become a powerful support Soul Master in the future!"

The teacher gave Gu Ziyi some final words of encouragement.

"Yes, teacher, I will work hard to make Liusha Academy proud of me!"

Gu Ziyi was just saying nice things; anyone can make empty promises!

"Okay, okay, teacher will wait!"

……

Chapter 6 After Graduation

The news that Gu Ziyi had broken through level 10 and become a one-ring Soul Master quickly spread throughout the academy.

Gu Ziyi once again became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Some people were envious, while others admired them.

Of course, there are also those who are jealous.

However, none of this could affect Gu Ziyi. In a few months, he would graduate from Liusha Academy.

After class, Gu Ziyi continued his cultivation in the back mountain.

Gu Ziyi, who usually enters a meditative state very easily, seems a bit out of sorts today.

Even though he had accepted the fact that his martial soul was a support-type martial soul, Gu Ziyi still felt somewhat uneasy.

Support is really not what he wants.

He got tired of playing support in his past life when he played King of Glory!

His condition was not right, which naturally severely affected Gu Ziyi's cultivation efficiency.

"First Soul Skill: Purification Mantra!"

Realizing something was wrong, Gu Ziyi simply slapped a Heart-Cleansing Mantra talisman on himself.

Suddenly, everything felt refreshed.

Under the influence of the Purification Mantra, Gu Ziyi found that his cultivation was exceptionally smooth, and his cultivation speed was almost half again as fast as usual.

Discovering the wonderful uses of the Purification Mantra, Gu Ziyi couldn't help but feel excited even while under its influence.

This further accelerated his cultivation speed.

However, Gu Ziyi soon realized that he had been too happy.

With his cultivation becoming smoother, his meditation technique absorbed energy faster, but he also reached the saturation point of his cultivation much faster.

If you do the math, all he needs to do is shorten the time he spends cultivating.

However, the Purification Mantra has another advantage: it allows Gu Ziyi to cultivate in a state of saturation for a longer period of time.

Therefore, the Purification Mantra still has the effect of accelerating Gu Ziyi's leveling speed.

"My cultivation speed was already two levels per year, and now I estimate I can advance five levels in two years. This speed is truly comparable to those geniuses!"

Gu Ziyi thought to himself.

Unfortunately, Gu Ziyi is already 12 years old, and he will be applying for the intermediate soul master academy in just a few months. In that short time, Gu Ziyi cannot make much progress.

Even if he could only level up one more time to reach level 12, he could only be a top student in a backward place like Quicksand Academy. Once he went to a larger place, he would be nothing.

……

Two months later, Gu Ziyi graduated from Liusha Academy.

After graduating from Liusha Academy, Gu Ziyi had a two-month vacation.

If Gu Ziyi doesn't plan to apply to the intermediate soul master academy recommended by Liusha Academy, he will need to decide on the intermediate soul master academy he intends to apply to within the next two months and go for the test.

Quicksand Academy is merely a Soul Master Academy located within a duchy of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Therefore, the only academies that Liusha Academy could recommend to Gu Ziyi were those within the principality.
