Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 5 Soul Master Certification

If combined with certain support soul skills that can cause people to lose their minds, the effect of one plus one will be far greater than two.

For example, the Berserker Soul Skill used by the Berserker Squad in the anime, if combined with Gu Ziyi's Purification Mantra, would allow the recipient to gain powerful burst abilities while remaining clear-headed and calm, which would be terrifying.

Such extreme soul skills are rarely chosen by support soul masters under normal circumstances, because they are uncontrollable and can easily cause them to confuse friend and foe.

And auxiliary soul skills like the Purification Mantra seem to have never appeared before.

At least among the soul skills that Gu Ziyi has learned so far, there is none. Some battle soul masters may have a soul skill with a similar effect, but support-type soul masters really don't have one.

Therefore, with just the Purification Mantra as his soul skill, Gu Ziyi's martial soul has great potential and is worth cultivating.

If Gu Ziyi were willing, he would already be qualified to join a faction.

"If I had to join a faction, which one would be the best choice?"

While under the influence of the Mind-Cleansing Mantra, Gu Ziyi immediately began to ponder.

Despite his pride as a transmigrator, Gu Ziyi didn't see anything wrong with becoming a vassal, because joining a faction was undoubtedly a better option for him.

Abundant resources will enable Gu Ziyi to grow up faster!

"There are actually many options available. Whether it's the three upper sects or the four lower sects, there are also the two great empires and the Spirit Hall..."

"What kind of resources they can obtain depends on how much they value themselves!"

"If you're just treating me as a regular support Soul Master, then there's nothing to say!"

"Moreover, the Purification Mantra is not particularly precious. It is more important to low-level Soul Masters, but not so important to those powerful Soul Masters, because powerful Soul Masters generally have stronger spiritual power as well."

"If it were just the Purification Mantra soul skill, it wouldn't be enough to make them take it too seriously!"

"Let's not rush to think about those things. After all, for a Soul Master's cultivation, the most important resource is actually the Soul Ring!"

"Soul Masters who join a faction receive better assistance when hunting for Soul Rings, in addition to medicines to nourish their physique and money!"

"I don't need spirit rings; I can form them myself!"

"So I can actually cultivate on my own!"

"We'll talk about the rest later!"

After some thought, Gu Ziyi temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​joining a faction.

……

The next day, Gu Ziyi went to the Spirit Hall branch in Liusha City to undergo Spirit Master certification and registration.

"Name……"

"age……"

"And martial spirits..."

"..."

When questioned by the registration staff of the Spirit Hall branch, Gu Ziyi answered them one by one.

Prior to this, Gu Ziyi had already summoned his martial soul and soul rings under the witness of the other party, proving that he had indeed broken through level 11 and acquired soul rings, and had become a true soul master.

That's right, after Gu Ziyi condensed his soul ring, his level successfully broke through to level 11.

After registering and being certified by the Spirit Hall, Gu Ziyi can receive a newcomer subsidy of one gold spirit coin every month from the Spirit Hall.

This was quite important to Gu Ziyi, because with the subsidy, he no longer needed to be a work-study student, working part-time at school while studying.

"Alright, here's your Soul Master badge!"

"With this, you can collect your monthly newcomer allowance from the window outside. I hope you will make good use of the allowance to cultivate diligently, contribute to the continent in the future, and become an upright and useful Soul Master!"

The registration staff handed the completed Soul Master badge to Gu Ziyi, which contained Gu Ziyi's information.

"Okay, thank you!"

Gu Ziyi accepted the Soul Master badge and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Regardless of who issued the new employee subsidy, it was a great help to Gu Ziyi.

After graduating from the junior Soul Master level, intermediate Soul Master academies no longer have work-study programs; students are required to pay tuition.

Moreover, the tuition fees are not low.

However, as long as Gu Ziyi completes the Soul Master registration at the Spirit Hall, the newcomer subsidy he receives will be enough to enroll in the intermediate Soul Master Academy.

After leaving the certification office, Gu Ziyi immediately went outside to collect her monthly subsidy with the badge.

After returning to Liusha Academy, Gu Ziyi also declined the work assigned to him by his teacher.

"Why are you suddenly turning down the job the school arranged for you?"

The teacher, naturally concerned, inquired about Gu Ziyi's situation.

"Teacher, because I have broken through level 10, absorbed my first spirit ring, and completed the certification and registration at the Spirit Hall!"

As Gu Ziyi spoke, he summoned his martial spirit.

"Good, good, you've finally broken through to level 10!"

"I never expected you to be so fast; you even have spirit rings now!"

The teacher was naturally delighted upon seeing this and praised Gu Ziyi repeatedly.

"Thanks to the guidance of the academy and my teachers, I was able to become a Soul Master!"

Gu Ziyi said with a smile.

"This is also the result of your own hard work. Is your martial soul a battle martial soul or a support martial soul? What is your first soul skill?"

Upon hearing this, the teacher laughed even more heartily, and then curiously asked Gu Ziyi for more information.

Because he also believed that Gu Ziyi's martial soul was a mutation of a paper martial soul, which was unprecedented, he was unclear about the classification of Gu Ziyi's martial soul.

Beast-type martial souls are all battle-type martial souls, while weapon-type martial souls depend on the effects of their soul skills.

"It should be a support-type martial soul. My first soul skill is to summon a purifying spell talisman, which can remove abnormal mental states and also provides a certain degree of immunity to mental-type soul skills!"

Gu Ziyi pondered for a moment before replying.

This interpretation of the Purification Mantra is also valid; it's an additional effect of the Purification Mantra's effect, which shows that the Purification Mantra is quite powerful.

Furthermore, Gu Ziyi didn't specify the duration, because the duration of the Cleansing Heart Spell he summoned was not fixed, depending entirely on his proficiency and how much soul power he infused into it.

This is probably the characteristic of the soul skills born from the soul rings one condenses; one can use one's soul skills very freely.

"It's a support type!"

"The Purification Mantra Talisman, is it a soul skill similar to an antidote?"

The teacher was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as such a soul skill was quite rare; he had never heard of it before, so it could be considered very precious.

It seems like we don't use it very often!

But none of that matters anymore.

The important thing is that Gu Ziyi has successfully become a Soul Master, and the academy will have another Soul Master graduating student.

This is an honor that belongs to the entire academy!

"Keep up the good work! Your teacher believes you'll definitely become a powerful support Soul Master in the future!"

The teacher gave Gu Ziyi some final words of encouragement.

"Yes, teacher, I will work hard to make Quicksand Academy proud of me!"

Gu Ziyi was just saying nice things; anyone can make empty promises!

"Okay, okay, teacher will wait!"
