Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

"Gu Ziyi, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the Pope's disciple yet!"

"I never imagined that someone with your talent would become a disciple of the Pope. I was stunned when I first heard about it."

After Bibi Dong left, Bai Lu took her place, enjoying the match with Gu Ziyi while congratulating him.

"I guess I was just lucky; this is something I didn't expect."

Gu Ziyi smiled and chatted with Bai Lu for a while. The two seemed to have returned to the friendly atmosphere they used to have.

"Actually, I should thank you, Egret!"

"Thank you for writing to tell me the news!"

Afterwards, Gu Ziyi sincerely thanked Bai Lu.

If it weren't for Bai Lu's letter, Gu Ziyi would have almost forgotten that he needed to leave Tianbao Academy as soon as possible.

Regardless of what Haotian Sect was thinking back then, he only knew that it would be very dangerous for him to stay at Tianbao Academy.

"We're friends, it's only right that I let you know!"

Bai Lu smiled, then turned to look at Gu Ziyi curiously: "Gu Ziyi, I've noticed that your soul power seems quite high. May I ask what your current soul power level is?"

Although she couldn't accurately sense Gu Ziyi's cultivation level, she could still feel that it was not weak.

This made her very curious: Had Gu Ziyi broken through level 30?

She found it hard to believe that anyone else could break through level 30.

If it were Gu Ziyi, she would still have some faith in him.

After all, she had personally witnessed Gu Ziyi's intelligence and saw him help Tang Yuehua solve the problem of not being able to cultivate.

Therefore, Bailu is willing to believe that if it were Gu Ziyi, it might actually be possible to find a way to break through the level 30 barrier.

"Of course, but you have to keep it a secret for now!"

Gu Ziyi didn't hesitate at all upon hearing this. If Bailu wanted to know, then he would tell her.

Whether it's kept secret or not doesn't really matter; everyone will find out soon enough.

"Of course!"

Bai Lu immediately agreed.

What is your current soul power level?

Gu Ziyi didn't tell Bai Lu directly, but instead asked Bai Lu about her soul power level.

"Me? I'm level 38 now."

Bai Lu knew immediately that Gu Ziyi had just arrived, otherwise she would have known about her soul power level.

Hearing Bai Lu's soul power level, Gu Ziyi was not surprised. At 19 years old, level 38 cultivation was not considered genius, but it was not low either. It was just average.

"I'm exactly one grade above you!"

Then, Gu Ziyi told her his soul power level with a hint of pride.

"what?"

"level 39?"

Although she had guessed that Gu Ziyi would be able to break through level 30, Bai Lu's eyes still widened instantly when she learned the truth from Gu Ziyi.

Because she really didn't expect that Gu Ziyi's soul power level would increase so much, even being one level higher than hers.

This is simply unimaginable.

"Yes, I can't tell you the specifics, but my current soul power level is indeed level 39."

Gu Ziyi confirmed again.

"..."

The egret opened its beak, momentarily stunned and unsure how to react.

"...You...you really are still that unpredictable guy, you're amazing!"

After a long while, Bai Lu looked at Gu Ziyi with admiration and exclaimed in amazement.

This guy is as amazing as ever!

It's just a bit of a pity...

"Gu Ziyi, why did you ever think of joining the Spirit Hall in the first place?"

In fact, Tang Yuehua wanted to ask the other person if they knew that this would make a relationship with her cousin almost impossible.

"Didn't your Haotian Sect reject me?"

"Then I had no choice but to join the Spirit Hall. I never expected that I would be chosen by my teacher and become the Pope's disciple."

Upon hearing Bai Lu's question, Gu Ziyi's tone became much calmer.

"Then...then you and your cousin..."

The egret gritted its teeth, but still couldn't help asking.

Because she knew that her cousin had never forgotten Gu Ziyi all these years.

"It's impossible now, unless I leave the Spirit Hall, or she leaves the Clear Sky Sect!"

"But neither of these scenarios is highly likely to occur."

Gu Ziyi replied expressionlessly.

If he had simply joined the Spirit Hall, there was still a possibility of him leaving, but becoming a disciple of the Pope was impossible.

Moreover, Gu Ziyi never considered leaving.

Isn't Li Chanfei appealing?

Is Bibi Dong still not as appealing?

Why did I go back to find Tang Yuehua?

Strength is the key. If he's strong enough, he can have any woman he wants.

"...Is it...is it impossible for us?"

Just after Gu Ziyi finished speaking, a somewhat fragmented voice suddenly rang out behind them.

When Tang Yuehua found Gu Ziyi standing with her cousin, she was incredibly excited.

If she knows her cousin, then it must be Gu Ziyi!

The more surprised she was at the beginning, the more heartbroken she was now.

"cousin!"

Bai Lu quickly turned around and discovered that her cousin had somehow appeared behind them.

When Gu Ziyi turned around, he also saw Tang Yuehua.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua's face was pale, and she had completely lost the elegance and composure she had shown on the field. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Gu Ziyi didn't expect Tang Yuehua to come looking for him too; it seemed she had recognized him earlier.

Seeing Tang Yuehua's heartbroken expression, Gu Ziyi felt a slight pang of emotion, but he still calmly said, "Yes, just like I said, it's impossible for us now."

"Gu Ziyi!"

Before Tang Yuehua could react to Gu Ziyi's words, Bai Lu first gave Gu Ziyi a low reprimand.

Bai Lu was clearly unhappy with Gu Ziyi's direct behavior. Didn't she know that her cousin would be even more heartbroken?

"Our relationship ended the moment you left without saying goodbye, didn't it?"

Gu Ziyi ignored Bai Lu and instead looked at Tang Yuehua, who was becoming increasingly heartbroken, and said something else.

Then, Gu Ziyi turned around and left.

He didn't want to say much to Tang Yuehua. He couldn't possibly give up everything in the Spirit Hall for Tang Yuehua, so not giving her any hope was the best course of action.

"No matter what, I was still very happy to meet you all."

After leaving behind a final sentence, Gu Ziyi turned and left without looking back.

"Senior sister, let's go!"

Taking Bibi Dong, who had previously hidden away, with him, Gu Ziyi left together.

All that remained was Tang Yuehua, her eyes brimming with tears.

Tang Yuehua watched Gu Ziyi and Bibi Dong leave without calling out to them.

Tang Yuehua knew very well that Gu Ziyi was being sincere; perhaps a relationship between her and Gu Ziyi was truly impossible.

Tang Yuehua just stared blankly at Gu Ziyi's departing figure.

What she didn't know was that Gu Ziyi and Bibi Dong were stopped by her second brother not long after leaving the Great Soul Arena.
