Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 49 Self-Condensing Soul Ring

In Gu Ziyi's view, self-condensed soul rings are not suitable for all soul masters.

In ancient times, it was correct that the self-condensed soul ring was eliminated, because soul masters at that time paid more attention to evolving their martial souls.

Therefore, even now, not all Soul Masters are suited to self-condensed Soul Rings.

Because many Soul Masters' Martial Souls are still of too low quality, self-formed Soul Rings are not a good choice for them.

If one's innate talent quality is already low, and one cannot even cultivate their soul power level, then attempting to condense a soul ring on their own will only waste more time.

Most importantly, a self-formed spirit ring cannot evolve, and a low-quality spirit ring may not even be able to generate a spirit skill.

Then this Soul Master is completely useless!

He could only become a Soul Master who possessed only Soul Power cultivation but had little combat ability.

The most suitable candidates for self-formed soul rings are soul masters with top-quality martial souls.

Soul Masters with top-tier Martial Souls also possess strong cultivation talents. Their self-condensed Soul Rings can generate Soul Skills. In the early stages, these skills may not level up as quickly as those generated by hunting Soul Beasts, but the Soul Skills generated through self-condensation are most suitable for them, consume little energy, and have strong control.

In the long run, the self-condensed soul ring can be continuously upgraded, making it even stronger than the soul beast soul ring.

Of course, self-formed soul rings are not without their drawbacks, namely that you need to upgrade them yourself.

In this way, in addition to cultivating their soul power level, soul masters also need to cultivate their soul rings, which will take even more time.

Hunting spirit beasts, on the other hand, eliminates the need to waste time and allows for faster growth.

That depends on the choice of the Soul Master.

Moreover, it's not entirely true that soul masters with low-quality martial souls cannot choose self-condensed soul rings. For example, those with innate soul power level 1 will be stuck at level 29 and unable to break through, no matter how much resources they consume or how hard they cultivate.

If he chooses to condense his own soul ring, he will give up his soul skills and become a soul master with only soul power cultivation. After reaching level 29, he can still try to upgrade his self-condensed soul ring.

The soul power on a soul ring can increase a soul master's level, although not proportionally.

Otherwise, there would be no difference between a Soul Master with a hundred-year Soul Ring and a Soul Master with a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, as everyone would have the same total amount of Soul Power.

However, a portion of the soul power on the soul ring will still be fed back to the soul master and converted into soul power level.

Therefore, a Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 can try to break through the Level 30 barrier and absorb a Soul Beast Soul Ring of Thousand Year Quality for their third Soul Ring, thus achieving a better effect in evolving their Martial Soul.

In short, self-condensed soul rings are useful for all soul masters; it's just a matter of how to choose between them.

Furthermore, it's not good for all Soul Masters to condense their own Soul Rings, as this would lead to an overabundance of Soul Beasts, which would hinder humanity's control over the continent.

However, the emergence of self-condensed soul rings is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, as times progress, powerful soul beasts will become increasingly rare, and eventually, high-level soul masters may face a situation where they cannot absorb high-quality soul beast soul rings.

Gu Ziyi hadn't read the later parts of Douluo Continent, but he had heard that in the later parts of Douluo Continent, it seemed that there wasn't enough soul beast soul rings, so they researched other substitutes.

That's one way out too.

But if you can condense your own soul rings, why continue searching for substitutes?

Gu Ziyi felt that condensing his own soul ring might be the right path.

Aside from not mentioning the future emergence of a substitute for the spirit ring, Gu Ziyi revealed everything else.

Gu Ziyi did not offer any advice on how the Spirit Hall should choose, but only analyzed the situation of self-condensed spirit rings. He suggested that Qian Daoliu and his team should consider how to ultimately choose and whether to promote self-condensed spirit rings.

Gu Ziyi would have no objection if they concealed the fact that they were using the self-condensing soul ring as a secret of the Spirit Hall and only used it within the Spirit Hall.

"Your analysis is absolutely correct. The Spirit Hall cannot make a hasty decision yet; it needs to study the matter carefully first!"

"Furthermore, Xiao Yi, your analysis is based on the premise that low-quality martial souls cannot generate soul skills from their self-formed soul rings. If all low-quality martial souls could generate soul skills like you, then it would be a different story..."

"The same applies to high-quality martial souls. If a high-quality martial soul cannot generate a soul skill even if it condenses its own soul ring, then the situation becomes even more complicated, and we need to carefully study the connections between them!"

"You also mentioned that absorbing a soul beast's soul ring might hinder the upgrading of your self-formed soul ring. This is uncertain and requires testing to determine..."

After listening to Gu Ziyi's analysis, Qian Daoliu quickly gained a clearer understanding of the self-condensed soul ring, and at the same time, he also pointed out the uncertainties in Gu Ziyi's analysis.

"Yes, Great Offering!"

"All of these require experimental work before a final conclusion can be drawn!"

Gu Ziyi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then admitted it.

These were the words he was about to continue, but before he could speak, Qian Daoliu said them first.

"That's right, we need to conduct experiments before we can draw any conclusions!"

"Your Holiness, you will be in charge of arranging these experiments. Remember to maintain strict secrecy!"

"These things shouldn't be revealed to outsiders for now!"

Qian Daoliu smiled and nodded, then gave instructions to Qian Xunji.

Because Gu Ziyi and Bibi Dong were also present, Qian Daoliu didn't call Qian Xunji by his nickname, but directly called him Pope.

"Yes, Father!"

Qian Xunji quickly agreed.

"Dong'er, for now, don't think about condensing your own soul ring!"

"It would be terrible if we ended up with a low-quality spirit ring that has no spirit skills and can't be upgraded!"

After Qian Xunji agreed, he quickly turned to Bibi Dong and gave her a warning.

Because he saw the eagerness in Bibi Dong's eyes after she learned about the Soul Ring!

"Oh...I see!"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong pouted in disappointment. She was genuinely considering trying it when she got her fourth spirit ring, and also to help her junior brother test it out.

If she already possesses a spirit beast's spirit ring, then even if she successfully condenses her own spirit ring, she won't be able to improve its quality.

"Your teacher is right, you have exceptional talent, you absolutely mustn't mess around!"

Seeing Bibi Dong's appearance, Qian Daoliu also spoke up to give her a warning.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

When Bibi Dong saw that Qian Daoliu had said so, she dared not be naughty anymore and quickly agreed.

"Xiao Yi, do you know about the Clear Sky Sect's self-created soul skills?"

Seeing that Bibi Dong knew, Qian Daoliu stopped talking to her and turned to Gu Ziyi to ask about the Haotian Sect.

For some reason, after hearing Gu Ziyi say that the soul skills created by condensing soul rings would be very compatible with the martial soul itself, he thought of Tang Chen's self-created soul skills.

In particular, the Haotian Nine Absolutes can be used as long as the martial soul is the Haotian Hammer.

Even though he knew perfectly well that Tang Chen's spirit ring couldn't be a self-formed spirit ring, Qian Daoliu still felt a connection.
