Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 67 Golden Light Sword Control

"Your Highness, here is the sword you requested!"

At Gu Ziyi's request, She Long found a bunch of longswords for Gu Ziyi.

"Thank you for your help, senior!"

After thanking her, Gu Ziyi took the longswords from She Long.

These longswords were all prepared by Gu Ziyi for experiments; they were all made of different materials and had different weights.

"What does Your Highness intend to do with these swords?"

After Gu Ziyi took the swords, She Long asked him about them out of curiosity.

In the past, he wouldn't have been curious at all about what Gu Ziyi was doing.

That's why, in the past six months, he didn't know what else Gu Ziyi had done besides cultivation.

He knew that Gu Ziyi seemed to be tinkering with something, and he had even been to the Spirit Hall's research department, but he had never bothered to find out what Gu Ziyi had been doing.

"I'm going to use them to try and develop my third soul skill!"

Gu Ziyi said with a smile.

"Third Soul Skill - Golden Light Talisman!"

After saying that, Gu Ziyi immediately summoned a golden talisman.

"Developing Soul Skills..."

She Long was somewhat surprised to hear this. He had only just acquired the soul skill, and he already knew how to develop it?

Gu Ziyi ignored She Long's surprise and then affixed the golden talisman in his hand to the blade of a long sword.

hum-

As Gu Ziyi affixed the golden light talisman to the sword, the longsword was immediately enveloped in a layer of golden light, transforming what was originally an ordinary longsword into something extraordinary.

"Golden Light Sword Control Technique!"

"rise!"

Then Gu Ziyi put his index and middle fingers together, using them as a sword, and began to try to manipulate the longsword.

hum-

Before Gu Ziyi's eyes, a long sword radiating a pale golden light trembled slightly before beginning to move in sync with Gu Ziyi's hand gestures.

However, the longsword's movement in the air was not smooth, and it felt somewhat stumbling.

"Your Highness's soul skill can actually be used like this..."

Even so, Gu Ziyi's development of his soul skills surprised She Long.

Although Gu Ziyi's use of it is still unstable, Gu Ziyi's development direction is obviously correct. Gu Ziyi has successfully developed his soul skill!

Is it really that simple to develop one's own soul skills in depth?

After others acquire your soul skill, it takes them a certain amount of time to master it, let alone develop it in depth.

"No, it feels too heavy, and it's not smooth to operate at all!"

Gu Ziyi was very dissatisfied at this moment and casually withdrew the Golden Light Sword Control Technique.

Ding~

After the golden light on the longsword disappeared, it immediately fell to the ground.

"Third Soul Skill - Golden Light Talisman!"

"Golden Light Sword Control Technique - Activate!"

Then Gu Ziyi began to try, attempting each longsword.

Gu Ziyi was dissatisfied with the test results. Whether it was heavy or light, Gu Ziyi felt an indescribable sense of obscurity when manipulating it with the Golden Light Sword Control Technique.

It works, but it's very clunky.

Using it this way does indeed make the attack power much stronger than simply using the Golden Light Talisman, but the speed is slower and it's not as smooth.

At the same time, it also consumes more mental and spiritual energy!

In this case, it would be a losing proposition.

"Perhaps my strength is still too weak right now. Once I become stronger and my mental power increases, this situation will definitely no longer exist!"

"However, the Golden Light Sword Control Technique is not very useful to me right now."

Gu Ziyi was somewhat disappointed; he had thought he would be able to master the cool sword-wielding technique!

However, this kind of sword-fighting technique, which is not smooth to control and is somewhat clumsy when turning, is better left unused.

Afterwards, Gu Ziyi tried other weapons, but the results were similar.

"Would it be better if we used a peach wood sword instead?"

After failing to make a move, Gu Ziyi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Senior She Long, could you please find me another peach wood sword?"

"A simple sword made of peach wood will suffice."

Having considered this, Gu Ziyi had no choice but to trouble She Long again.

It would be too slow for him to go find it himself; She Long is much faster.

"A peach wood sword?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment, I'll go and find it for you right away!"

Although she didn't understand why Gu Ziyi specifically wanted to find a peach wood sword, She Long immediately agreed.

He knew that wooden swords existed, but he didn't know where to find swords made specifically of peach wood.

But it doesn't matter, even if you can't find a peach wood sword, peach wood is still easy to find.

He can just use his soul power to make it when the time comes.

Anyway, Gu Ziyi said that any longsword made of peach wood would be fine.

sigh~

After saying that, She Long quickly disappeared.

Watching She Long's departing figure, Gu Ziyi smiled slightly.

Sure enough, after demonstrating his potential and value, his protector became quite useful.

Gu Ziyi then began to cultivate on the spot.

That attempt just now took a toll on Gu Ziyi, and he needs to recover.

"Your Highness, the peach wood sword has arrived!"

By the time Gu Ziyi had almost recovered, She Long had already returned, carrying a red peach wood sword.

As She Long spoke, he also handed the peach wood sword to Gu Ziyi.

"Thank you for your help, senior!"

Gu Ziyi quickly took it.

"Third Soul Skill - Golden Light Talisman!"

"Golden Light Sword Control Technique - Activate!"

Then, Gu Ziyi couldn't wait to try it again.

sigh~

Under Gu Ziyi's control, the peach wood sword swiftly slashed through the air with a whoosh.

This time, when Gu Ziyi wielded the peach wood sword, he no longer felt the same obscurity as before.

Under Gu Ziyi's control, the peach wood sword moved very smoothly, whether in a straight line or turning, just like manipulating the golden light talisman.

Swish swish swish~~~

Cool!

If you had to describe Gu Ziyi's feelings at this moment in one word, it would be "extremely exhilarating."

Seeing his sword control technique finally presented perfectly, Gu Ziyi was still very excited.

Sword control techniques—which boy wouldn't yearn for them?

It's a bit of a pity that I'm using a peach wood sword.

A peach wood sword is, after all, just a wooden sword, and its killing power is limited.

That is, it's a bit stronger than simply using the Golden Light Talisman.

To truly use other lethal swords to perform sword control techniques, he must wait until he becomes powerful enough.

"Your Highness, has it been successful?"

She Long was pleasantly surprised to see this, but he was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, why is it different using a peach wood sword?"

Among the swords Gu Ziyi had tried before, there was one that was just as light as this peach wood sword.

"It's probably because my martial spirit is a better match for the peach wood sword!"

This was the only explanation Gu Ziyi could offer.

He himself felt the same way.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense!

"I see. But Your Highness, the use of any props is not allowed in the Soul Master Competition!"

She Long nodded, then gave Gu Ziyi a reminder.
