Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 50 Defects of Ring Explosion

"Of course I know about the Clear Sky Sect's self-created soul skills!"

"Especially the Exploding Rings technique mastered by Tang Chen, the founder of the Clear Sky Sect. I've heard it's a self-created soul skill comparable to a divine skill!"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's question, Gu Ziyi immediately replied.

Gu Ziyi couldn't possibly be unaware of the Haotian Sect's self-created soul skills. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, the Haotian Nine Absolutes, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and the Exploding Ring were all extremely famous.

Those are truly self-created soul skills that are even more powerful than soul rings and soul skills, unlike the self-created soul skills mastered by the major sects and forces, which are just simple applications of soul power.

At the same time, Gu Ziyi was also a little puzzled, wondering why Qian Daoliu would suddenly bring up the Haotian Sect's self-created soul skills.

Could it be that Qian Daoliu thinks that all the self-created soul skills of the Haotian Sect come from self-condensed soul rings?

That's impossible. Based on the information Gu Ziyi has, Tang Chen's spirit rings cannot be self-formed spirit rings.

Given Tang Chen's talent, it's normal for him to create those soul skills.

No... that's not necessarily true. The earlier spirit rings might not be, but the later ones might be.

"Does the High Priest suspect that Tang Chen also possesses the ability to condense his own spirit ring?"

Having thought of this, Gu Ziyi directly raised his question.

"That's right, that's what I suspect!"

Qian Daoliu was slightly surprised that Gu Ziyi had guessed his thoughts, but then he admitted it.

In fact, Qian Daoliu was just unconvinced that Tang Chen was stronger than him, so he wanted to find out why Tang Chen was stronger than him.

"The High Priest should have fought him before, right? If he used a soul skill that creates a self-condensing soul ring, the soul ring would have lit up."

Gu Ziyi countered with a question.

"That shouldn't be the case. Except when he was young, Tang Chen never uses his own spirit rings or spirit skills in battle; he only uses self-created spirit skills!"

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's question, Qian Daoliu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head.

Feeling a little disappointed, it seems that Tang Chen's self-created soul skills did not come from self-condensed soul rings!

Gu Ziyi was not surprised to hear Qian Daoliu's words.

Tang Chen does have that talent.

However, Qian Daoliu's words reminded Gu Ziyi of something. It seemed that Tang Hao never used soul rings or soul skills during battle, right?

It's either the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique or the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, or the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring, all of which are self-created soul skills.

Apart from the seventh soul skill, although the seventh soul ring can't really be considered a soul ring or soul skill, it's all about the true form of the martial soul.

The fact that Tang Chen and Tang Hao didn't use spirit rings or spirit skills in their battles gave Gu Ziyi some ideas.

Could it be that they used up their spirit rings too much and destroyed their spirit ring skills?

Then, the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian and the like were all created by Tang Chen out of necessity.

Because if he doesn't create his own, he won't have any soul skills to use!

As for Tang San, he might be fine because he hasn't experienced the aftereffects of the explosions yet, or perhaps he has the power of the Sea God protecting him.

"The Grand Offering..."

After thinking about this, Gu Ziyi couldn't help but share his guess with Qian Daoliu.

"Did the exploding rings destroy the spirit rings and their skills?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words.

He found that what Gu Ziyi said was actually very likely, because after Tang Chen created the Soul Ring Explosion Technique, he used Soul Ring Skills less and less.

If the exploding ring really destroyed the soul skill, then it really makes sense!

Haha, just thinking about this makes Qian Daoliu unable to stop laughing.

However, his smile quickly faded, because even though he had destroyed Tang Chen's spirit rings and spirit skills himself, he still couldn't win against Tang Chen in a single sparring match.

He had sparred with Tang Chen many times, and the match was always evenly matched, but he knew that he was slightly inferior to Tang Chen.

He also recalled that Tang Chen had been in seclusion for a long time, and after emerging, he created the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian.

So before that, he actually had a very good chance of defeating Tang Chen.

However, it doesn't seem to make much sense. Defeating Tang Chen, who has no soul skills, is meaningless to him.

"Your guess makes a lot of sense. Perhaps Tang Chen was forced to create those self-created soul skills because he had destroyed all his other soul skills!"

"Make good use of your talents; I believe you will achieve great things in the future!"

After regaining his composure, Qian Daoliu praised Gu Ziyi again.

He admired Gu Ziyi more and more.

Although Gu Ziyi lacked talent, even he found her intelligence impressive.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I certainly will!"

Gu Ziyi said excitedly.

Seeing how much Qian Daoliu admired him, Gu Ziyi was even considering whether to reveal the existence of the immortal herb and have Qian Daoliu take him to harvest it.

However, Gu Ziyi held back. He couldn't explain how he knew where the immortal herb was, and he was already prepared to explore it himself after breaking through level 20.

"After all that talk, I still haven't asked what your second soul skill is!"

"Xiao Yi, your second spirit ring also has a spirit skill, right?"

Qian Daoliu smiled with satisfaction, and then asked about Gu Ziyi's second soul skill.

"Haha, Father, not to mention you, even I had completely forgotten to ask!"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Xunji was slightly taken aback, and then he also laughed.

Bibi Dong urged Gu Ziyi, "Junior brother, tell me quickly, what is your second soul skill?"

"My second soul skill is the Cleansing Spell!"

Gu Ziyi found it somewhat amusing upon hearing this, and then explained his second soul skill and its effects.

"Purify your body and enhance your five senses!"

"Impressive support abilities; it seems your martial soul is indeed quite special!"

After hearing about the effect of Gu Ziyi's soul skill, Qian Daoliu praised him again and also acknowledged that Gu Ziyi's martial soul was quite special.

Despite having a low-quality martial soul, it possesses high-quality soul skills.

However, there was nothing he could do to solve Gu Ziyi's situation.

No matter how special Gu Ziyi's martial soul is, the fact that Gu Ziyi's innate soul power is only level 1 cannot be changed.

"Your Holiness, have everyone search diligently for a treasure that can alter one's innate talent!"

Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu directly gave instructions to Qian Xunji.

"Yes, Father!"

Qian Xunji once again obeyed her father's instructions.

His father's high regard for Gu Ziyi surprised him.

However, considering Gu Ziyi's performance, it does seem that he deserves attention.

However, he didn't hold out much hope. While there were treasures that could change a Soul Master's talent, they were extremely rare, appearing only once every hundred years.

Finding it is not that simple.

Not long after, Qian Xunji left the Hall of Offerings with Gu Ziyi and Bibi Dong.

Afterwards, Qian Xunji asked Gu Ziyi to write down in detail his previous thoughts and the matter of condensing the soul ring for him.

Only then could he arrange for dedicated personnel to conduct the research.

Gu Ziyi had no problem with it and spent half a day writing a detailed report on the self-condensed soul ring.

"I'm level 20 now. After preparing for so long, it's time for me to try searching in Sunset Forest!"

After putting down his pen, Gu Ziyi looked out the window.
