Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 10 Martial Soul Classification

"Wow! He's actually a level 22 Great Soul Master!"

"That's amazing..."

"And she's so beautiful..."

"..."

As soon as the egret opened its mouth, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole class, who all exclaimed in amazement.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted from Tang Yuehua to Bai Lu.

Gu Ziyi couldn't help but glance at Bai Lu. This girl was probably doing it on purpose, helping Tang Yuehua divert her attention.

After introducing herself, Bai Lu quickly sat down.

She was completely oblivious to Gu Ziyi's gaze; there were plenty of people in the class looking at her these days.

Moreover, her impression of Gu Ziyi was just that he was a bit silly yesterday, an ordinary boy, nothing worth her attention.

Or rather, there was no one in this academy who was worthy of her attention.

She was just there to accompany her cousin and experience college life.

Moreover, it's only an intermediate-level Soul Master Academy. After reaching level 30, she'll need to find a way to join a better advanced-level Soul Master Academy and then try to get into the academy's battle team.

As a Soul Master, no one would not want to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, that's a good start!"

"White Egret, since your soul power level is the highest, how about you become our class monitor?"

After everyone had introduced themselves, the homeroom teacher, Yang Hui, spoke again.

They even specifically asked Bailu if she wanted to be the class monitor.

"Okay, teacher, then I'll be the class monitor!"

Upon hearing this, Bailu agreed without any hesitation.

As the class monitor, she was able to take better care of her younger cousin.

"Very good, then Bailu will be your class monitor!"

"From now on, if you have any problems, please report them to the class monitor first!"

"On the first day of school, let's do a quick review of the classifications of martial spirits!"

"Our Soul Masters' Martial Souls are mainly divided into two categories. Do you all know what they are?"

Class teacher Yang Hui then asked the question.

"Teacher, I know!"

"Martial Souls are divided into Beast Martial Souls and Weapon Martial Souls!"

"Yes, yes, they are beast spirits and weapon spirits. All animal spirits are beast spirits, and other non-animal spirits, including plant spirits, are weapon spirits..."

"..."

As soon as the homeroom teacher, Yang Hui, finished speaking, the students eagerly answered.

Obviously, everyone is aware of this problem.

"Hmm, very good. So, what about soul beasts? Did you know that soul beasts are also divided into two main categories?"

Class teacher Yang Hui smiled and then continued to ask.

"Teacher, I know! They're divided into animal spirit beasts and plant spirit beasts!"

"Yes, just like our Soul Master Martial Souls, they are divided into two types."

"..."

This problem also did not stump the students in the class.

"Very good, it seems everyone understands!"

"However, I still want to emphasize the importance of choosing spirit rings here."

"Human Soul Masters have two types of Martial Souls, and Soul Beasts also have two types, but they don't correspond when absorbing Soul Rings."

"Beast Martial Souls can only absorb the spirit rings of animal spirit beasts; conversely, they absolutely cannot absorb the spirit rings of plant spirit beasts!"

"Weapon spirits are quite special. Apart from plant-based weapon spirits, other weapon spirits have no restrictions on absorbing spirit rings. They can choose to absorb spirit rings from animal or plant spirit beasts."

"However, for plant-type weapon spirits, it is necessary to absorb the spirit rings of plant-type spirit beasts!"

"You must remember this: never try to absorb high-quality spirit rings indiscriminately."

Class teacher Yang Hui spoke continuously from the podium.

The students below were listening attentively, but most of them were listening out of boredom, because they already had a very clear understanding of what the teacher was saying.

"Teacher, we understand this classification very well; our previous teachers always taught us this way!"

"But teacher, why can't beast spirits absorb the spirit rings of plant spirit beasts? And why can't plant spirits absorb the spirit rings of animal spirit beasts?"

"What would happen if it were absorbed?"

Just then, Gu Ziyi suddenly raised his hand and asked his homeroom teacher, Yang Hui, a question.

"There's no why, it just can't, because they're different species!"

"That's right, beast spirits should absorb the spirit rings of animal spirit beasts, and plant spirits should absorb the spirit rings of plant spirit beasts..."

"You're so stupid, classmate..."

"..."

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's question, before the homeroom teacher Yang Hui could answer, the other students in the class began to speak up.

Some classmates even looked at Gu Ziyi with the eyes of someone who thinks he's mentally challenged.

"Class, please quiet down. Gu Ziyi has actually asked a very good question!"

"You probably don't know why either, so today I'll explain it to you in detail!"

"Because of incompatibility, it's not that plants and animals can't absorb each other, but rather that what's created after absorption is only bad, useless soul skills. Some can't even create a soul skill at all. This is the consequence of indiscriminate absorption!"

"We all know that a Soul Master's Martial Soul evolves by absorbing Soul Rings. If a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring of a different type, it will definitely not evolve, and that Soul Master will basically be useless..."

At this point, the homeroom teacher, Yang Hui, quieted everyone down, praised Gu Ziyi, and finally answered Gu Ziyi's question.

Upon hearing Yang Hui's answer, Gu Ziyi couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.

Gu Ziyi had actually asked his former teachers this question before, but none of them could give a clear answer; they all knew the answer but not the reason behind it.

"Teacher, I don't think that's necessarily true, is it?"

But Gu Ziyi did not stop there.

"Oh? Does Gu Ziyi have a different idea?"

Class teacher Yang Hui glanced at Gu Ziyi with surprise, and also became interested.

He suddenly noticed that Gu Ziyi was unusual.

"Teacher, I think that under certain circumstances, it's actually possible to absorb different types of spirit rings!"

"For example, vine-type spirit souls can absorb snake and spider-type spirit beasts, because they have something in common: they all have entanglement-type control spirit skills!"

"The same applies to the reverse; could they absorb each other?"

Gu Ziyi stood up and then slowly revealed his conjecture.

Unlike Yu Xiaogang, who asserted that it would definitely work before even conducting experiments and published his theory, Gu Ziyi merely offered his ideas.

It's normal to have ideas. As long as you don't insist that it's definitely possible, no one will laugh at you.

Gu Ziyi didn't say these things intentionally to steal Yu Xiaogang's theory; it was just a convenient opportunity to bring it up, mainly to show Tang Yuehua that he was different.

Without turning his head, Gu Ziyi knew that Tang Yuehua and the other girl were probably looking at him with the same surprise as everyone else in the class.
