Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 41 One Year

"Teacher Yueguan, I want to learn!"

Gu Ziyi quickly replied.

"Great! As long as you're willing to learn, I'll definitely teach you to recognize even more flowers and plants in the future!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was also very happy to hear Gu Ziyi's words, as it was rare to meet someone who was also interested in flowers and plants.

Since the other party was a disciple of the Pope, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't mind getting closer to Gu Ziyi.

"Thank you, Teacher Yueguan. You haven't answered my question yet!"

Gu Ziyi nodded happily, and then continued.

"Those illustrated legends are basically all fake!"

"The Spirit Hall's records do mention spirit masters who evolved their spirits or spirit rings due to some fortuitous encounters, but there are no clear records of the reasons for this evolution!"

"So, I'm not entirely clear on what you're saying either. My martial soul only allows me to know the characteristics, habits, and functions of those plants. Whether it can upgrade spirit rings or evolve martial souls is beyond the capabilities of my martial soul!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo then answered Gu Ziyi's question.

Gu Ziyi then realized that Chrysanthemum Douluo was unaware that those immortal herbs possessed the ability to evolve martial souls.

Even Tang San didn't know at first; everyone else only found out after they tasted it.

And so, Gu Ziyi began his life at the Spirit Hall.

Or rather, it was the life of a prince accompanying his studies.

His main role was to accompany Bibi Dong and help her maintain a state of purification through the mantra during her cultivation and studies.

Especially the course on martial spirit knowledge, there was a lot of knowledge that Gu Ziyi had already learned, but he could only study with Bibi Dong.

Gu Ziyi wasn't impatient, because the Spirit Hall's teachings were more comprehensive than what he had learned before. Gu Ziyi often asked questions to apply what he had learned to other situations, so that he could gain a more complete understanding.

All the teachers who had taught Gu Ziyi privately praised Gu Ziyi's intelligence to Qian Xunji.

Often, after Gu Ziyi's counter-questioning, they found that many problems were feasible through discussion, which brought them some gains.

Bibi Dong's attitude towards Gu Ziyi, which was initially dismissive and only regarded him as a learning tool, gradually changed.

She began to realize that Gu Ziyi was really smart and capable, and with Gu Ziyi by her side, studying was no longer so boring.

Soon, a year had passed.

Gu Ziyi is 14 years old, and Bibi Dong is 10 years old.

Gu Ziyi's soul power level increased by 2 levels in one year, reaching level 16.

The speed seemed to have slowed down compared to before, but this was intentional on Gu Ziyi's part.

Gu Ziyi gradually realized that maintaining a constant, intensive training pace was not a good thing, as it could harm his body. Therefore, Gu Ziyi intentionally slowed down his training.

Otherwise, given Gu Ziyi's previous frenzied pace, coupled with the resources from the Spirit Hall and the more advanced meditation techniques, Gu Ziyi's cultivation speed could have reached level 3 in one year.

At the age of 10, Bibi Dong's soul power level far surpassed that of Gu Ziyi.

At the age of 10, Bibi Dong was already a level 24 Great Soul Master.

In other words, since awakening her martial soul, Bibi Dong has maintained a speed of about 3 or 4 levels per year, which is already very fast and is the normal cultivation speed of a genius with full innate soul power.

Gu Ziyi's assistance only reduced the time Bibi Dong spent cultivating her soul power each day; it did not make Bibi Dong level up faster.

Gu Ziyi's assistance mainly helped Bibi Dong learn faster in other areas.

If we compare the 10-year-old Bibi Dong from the original story with the current Bibi Dong, the current Bibi Dong would be far superior to the 10-year-old Bibi Dong from the original story in a fight.

Because we have different knowledge.

In the year Gu Ziyi turned 14, the Soul Master Competition also began.

Gu Ziyi didn't pay much attention, and the final competition wasn't held in Wuhun City. All that Gu Ziyi knew was what Bibi Dong had told him.

The final championship of this competition was won by the Star Luo Empire's Star Luo Team.

The captain of the Star Luo team that won the championship is a prince of the Star Luo royal family. It is said that after this Soul Master Competition, this prince will be established as the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire after returning to the Star Luo Empire.

Gu Ziyi thought to himself, "So he's Dai Mubai's father, the future emperor of the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Mubai's father will also be a powerful Title Douluo in the future, no wonder he was able to lead the team to victory.

To Gu Ziyi's surprise, Tang Hao did not participate in this Soul Master Competition. Tang Hao was already 18 years old at this time, and his strength must have been considerable!

However, even if he went up there, he probably wouldn't be a match for Dai Mubai's father, since Dai Mubai's father is already a Soul King.

Unless you use a ring-breaking device!

"The Soul Master Tournament! I really want to participate too!"

"Junior brother, did you say I could go to the next Soul Master Competition?"

After telling Gu Ziyi about the Soul Master Competition, Bibi Dong said with great anticipation.

"Sure, why wouldn't it be okay!"

"Five years from now, you'll have roughly broken through to the Soul Master level, and participating in the Soul Master Competition will be no problem at all!"

"It depends on whether the teacher lets you go. After all, even if you break through to Soul Master by then, it will still be a recent breakthrough, and your soul power level will still be relatively low. It will be quite difficult for you to lead the Spirit Hall team to win the championship!"

"Besides, didn't you say that Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect didn't participate in this year's Soul Master Competition? He'll be 23 next year, which will be the last one he can participate in, so he'll definitely participate. By then, he'll definitely be a Soul King!"

"So if you weren't absolutely certain of winning, the teacher definitely wouldn't have let you go."

Gu Ziyi immediately provided an analysis for Bibi Dong.

Of course you can participate, the key question is whether Chihiro will allow it.

Gu Ziyi didn't understand why the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent were so enthusiastic about participating in this Soul Master Competition.

In the original novel, Tang San and Xiao Wu risked exposing their identities to participate!

Xiao Wu's love-struck mind goes without saying, but Tang San is the same way.

Before going to Wuhun City to participate in the finals, Tang San already knew that his parents had a grudge against the Spirit Hall.

Okay, Tang San is actually a love-struck person too.

Whenever Xiao Wu is in trouble, he immediately goes into a berserk, murderous state.

"what……"

"If that's the case, the teacher definitely won't let me go..."

After hearing Gu Ziyi's answer, Bibi Dong's face immediately fell.

"Alright, I'm going to continue researching my soul bone and talismans. Go play by yourself!"

After learning the results of the Soul Master Competition, Gu Ziyi waved his hand to send Bibi Dong away.

Gu Ziyi has been researching the combination of soul bones, soul skills, and his own martial soul, and has made some progress.

Therefore, Gu Ziyi planned to continue his research and didn't really want to pay attention to Bibi Dong.

"No, I want to watch from the sidelines!"

Bibi Dong naturally refused.

"If you think it's acceptable, then I'll apply a purifying mantra to your face!"

As Gu Ziyi spoke, he summoned a Heart-Cleansing Mantra talisman.

"No, I don't want to!"

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong quickly stepped back.
