Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 4 White Soul Ring

"Gu Ziyi, have you broken through to level 10 yet?"

……

"Not yet? Don't worry, just focus on your training. You'll definitely be able to break through to level 10 before graduation..."

……

"That's strange. Judging by Gu Ziyi's speed, he should have already broken through to level 10. I didn't expect him to still not have broken through after so long..."

"Yeah, levels 9 to 10 shouldn't be too difficult..."

"..."

……

Another six months have passed.

During this time, Gu Ziyi did not reveal that he had broken through to level 10, which attracted a lot of attention.

However, Gu Ziyi was already under a lot of attention, so he didn't care much about it.

He concealed the truth simply because he didn't want to explain why he didn't add a soul ring to his martial soul after breaking through level 10.

Because he needs to hide the fact that he created his own spirit ring!

Regardless of whether his self-created spirit ring was successful or not, Gu Ziyi did not want others to know for the time being.

This time, Gu Ziyi attempted to condense his own soul ring once again.

hum-

Gu Ziyi skillfully channeled all his soul power into his martial soul.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Ziyi suppressed the leakage of soul power within his martial soul while simultaneously practicing meditation.

If your own soul power is insufficient to condense a soul ring, then continue to incorporate more energy.

Under Gu Ziyi's meditation, external energy slowly flowed into his body.

This process is by no means simple and requires a great deal of patience, because this method is not much easier than intensive training.

It is only because Gu Ziyi was already used to the pain of saturated cultivation that he could do it so easily.

Even so, Gu Ziyi has not yet succeeded in replenishing his soul power using meditation after all his soul power has been poured into his martial soul.

Moreover, after each failure, as long as Gu Ziyi relaxes the suppression of his martial soul, the soul power contained within the martial soul will quickly flow back through his body, and he can easily expel the excess soul power from his body.

Gu Ziyi tried everything, but he couldn't retain the excess soul power.

He decided not to worry about it and continued to try to fill his body with the excess soul power.

Time gradually passed as Gu Ziyi continued his attempts.

Gu Ziyi's body was already covered in sweat from enduring so much.

hum-

Finally, through Gu Ziyi's gritted teeth and perseverance, the overloaded soul power filled his entire body for the first time.

In an instant, the soul power in Gu Ziyi's body and the soul power within his martial soul seemed to react and begin to resonate with each other.

boom--

Finally, Gu Ziyi felt as if some kind of constraint within his body had been broken, and he felt completely relaxed.

Gu Ziyi sensed his martial soul and indeed saw a white soul ring surrounding the martial soul talisman.

"It's a success!"

Gu Ziyi was thrilled, filled with joy.

After working so hard for so long, I finally succeeded.

Most importantly, Gu Ziyi's conjecture was correct; Soul Masters can indeed condense their own Soul Rings.

Although the process was not easy.

"A talisman!"

Gu Ziyi opened his eyes and couldn't wait to extend his right hand and summon his martial spirit.

hum-

A talisman emitting a faint glow appeared in Gu Ziyi's palm, followed by a white soul ring that floated around the talisman.

"This is my first spirit ring, it's so beautiful!"

Gu Ziyi looked at his first spirit ring and thought it was so beautiful, white and round.

Gu Ziyi didn't mind that his first spirit ring was a ten-year quality white spirit ring. After all, even if he asked the academy's teachers for help, it was unlikely that they could help him hunt a hundred-year quality yellow spirit ring.

After admiring his first spirit ring, Gu Ziyi also discovered that his martial spirit had undergone some changes. It was no longer so ordinary; the talisman was shimmering with a soft white light, and a Daoist charm was flowing around it.

It seems that this change comes with the addition of a spirit ring, so it shouldn't be considered an evolution.

It is normal for a martial soul to change after absorbing a soul ring.

"Let's try out my first soul skill!"

Gu Ziyi smiled slightly; he was now very curious to know what his first soul skill was.

"First Soul Skill - Purification Mantra!"

Gu Ziyi made two gestures with his hands like a Taoist priest, and a talisman instantly condensed at his fingertips. Then, he gently pinched it between his index and middle fingers.

Furthermore, there are flowing runes on this talisman, making it truly extraordinary.

"It's actually a purification mantra!"

Gu Ziyi looked at the talisman in his hand, somewhat surprised yet feeling it was perfectly natural.

A talisman is simply a tool used to draw various talismans and incantations.

I just didn't expect that his first soul skill would be a combination of Taoist purification mantra and talisman.

Eliminate distracting thoughts, clarify your mind, and quiet your spirit.

This is the effect of Gu Ziyi's first soul skill, which brings a mental boost to the user who has the Purifying Heart Mantra talisman affixed.

The Purification Mantra talisman that Gu Ziyi summons can be used by himself or by others.

"So, after all this time, my martial soul is actually a support type?"

Gu Ziyi was a little confused. According to the effect of his first soul skill, this was definitely a support soul skill!

This was something Gu Ziyi never expected; he truly never thought of becoming a support Soul Master.

For a moment, Gu Ziyi's feelings were incredibly complicated.

What future is there for a support-type Soul Master?

Support Soul Masters are different from Battle Soul Masters. Battle Soul Masters rely on themselves, while support Soul Masters rely on others.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, is also a support-type Soul Master. In the end, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only rose to the status of one of the three upper sects because of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

No matter how powerful the support effect is, it can only be fully realized with the help of a Soul Master.

Therefore, upon learning that his martial soul was a support-type martial soul, Gu Ziyi felt somewhat disheartened. Compared to relying on others, he preferred to rely on himself.

He firmly believed that true strength lies in one's own strength!

"It's alright. If Oscar can possess formidable combat power by relying on his support-type Soul Master abilities, so can I!"

Gu Ziyi quickly calmed down and comforted herself.

Despite saying that, Gu Ziyi still found it difficult to truly calm down for a while.

pop~

Having no other choice, Gu Ziyi simply slapped the Mind-Cleansing Mantra talisman on himself!

hum-

After the Purification Mantra talisman was affixed to Gu Ziyi's body, it emitted a stream of light, and then gradually dissolved and merged into Gu Ziyi's body.

The effects of the first soul skill were quickly manifested in Gu Ziyi.

Gu Ziyi felt a sense of clarity and relief; all her irritability and frustration vanished instantly, leaving only calmness and rationality.

"As expected of the Heart-Purifying Mantra, it's truly effective!"

Gu Ziyi silently praised him, feeling neither sorrow nor joy.

After carefully experiencing the effects of the Purifying Heart Mantra, Gu Ziyi discovered that it was undoubtedly a powerful auxiliary soul skill.

Although it cannot provide Soul Masters with a true boost in strength, nor can it increase their power, speed, or Soul Power, it can give them a calm and rational state of mind.

This mindset is invaluable in battle.
