Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 88 Soul Bone Peach Wood Sword

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Xiao Tao's peach-colored eyes widened instantly.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

"That's right, all the spirit rings I have are spirit rings; I don't need spirit beast spirit rings!"

Seeing that the other party was almost completely gone, Gu Ziyi decided it didn't matter if he told them these things or not.

"...How is this possible!"

Xiao Tao then realized that she had misunderstood before. Gu Ziyi's soul skill was unique and came from condensing his own soul ring, rather than being obtained by hunting rare soul beasts.

This immediately lessened the hatred she felt for Gu Ziyi.

Although she didn't know how Gu Ziyi did it, she could tell that Gu Ziyi hadn't lied to her, nor did he have any reason to lie to her.

"...How did you do that? Can other Soul Masters use this method of self-forming Soul Rings?"

Knowing that she couldn't take Gu Ziyi with her in death, Xiao Tao gave up trying to persuade Gu Ziyi to accept her sacrifice. Instead, she inquired about the self-condensed soul ring from Gu Ziyi.

As a soul beast, she was naturally very curious about this.

That would be wonderful if all Soul Masters obtained Soul Rings through self-condensation!

"Of course, all Soul Masters can use it!"

"I am a disciple of the Pope of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall will definitely promote this method in the future, and more Spirit Masters will surely use my method to obtain Spirit Rings."

Gu Ziyi knew what the other person wanted to know by asking this question, so he told them.

Since the other party is going to die anyway, there's no harm in saying something nice. Maybe if the other party is happy, they will choose to leave two better soul skills in their soul bone!

Also, Gu Ziyi didn't want any more accidents to happen, so she chose to say things the other person wanted to hear.

"Really?"

Xiao Tao was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.

"Of course, why don't I want your sacrifice? It's because in my opinion, a self-formed soul ring is worse than a soul beast soul ring. A self-formed soul ring has more advantages because it can be continuously improved through cultivation, while a soul beast soul ring cannot."

Gu Ziyi continued.

"That...that's wonderful..."

Hearing Gu Ziyi belittle the spirit beast's spirit ring, Xiao Tao was not angry at all; instead, a smile appeared on her face.

In her view, if human soul masters' self-condensed soul rings truly replace soul beast soul rings in the future, then there won't be so many soul beasts being hunted.

This is an incredibly good thing for spirit beasts!

Upon hearing this news, Xiaotao felt that she would have no regrets even if she died.

At that moment, Xiao Tao's body from the neck down had already turned into flower petals and scattered.

Call ~

In the end, Xiao Tao's figure completely transformed into petals and scattered with the wind, turning into countless petals that entwined around Gu Ziyi.

She didn't hide her soul in the soul bone, but instead prepared to disappear along with the soul ring energy that Gu Ziyi didn't want to absorb.

She didn't want to cause any trouble for Gu Ziyi when he absorbed the soul bone.

Now, she actually hopes that Gu Ziyi can live a good life and eventually carry forward the self-condensed soul ring.

Ding~

As Xiao Tao's body completely disappeared, a crimson soul bone fell to the ground.

"I've left behind my two favorite soul skills. I hope you can make good use of this soul bone I left behind. I mean it this time."

At this moment, Gu Ziyi heard Xiao Tao's voice again.

This time, however, her voice came from the energy and petals surrounding Gu Ziyi.

"Don't worry, no one dislikes a 100,000-year-old soul bone!"

Gu Ziyi reached out and caught the falling soul bone, discovering it was a right arm soul bone, entirely crimson, resembling a small shield worn on the arm.

This is the Soul Bone. Calling it a Soul Bone is an understatement; it's more like equipment, except it can only be equipped in a specific location.

"That's good……"

Xiao Tao's voice rang out again, and then the energy and petals surrounding Gu Ziyi weakened, as if they were about to dissipate completely.

"Can the energy you sacrificed be transferred to this soul bone?"

Sensing that the energy from Xiao Tao's sacrifice was about to disappear, Gu Ziyi looked at the soul bone in his hand and suddenly asked a question.

"what……"

The energy and petals surrounding Gu Ziyi paused slightly.

"I...I don't know..."

Xiao Tao said she didn't know, as no soul beast had ever tried this before.

"Then why don't you give it a try? It's better than just disappearing like this, right?"

Gu Ziyi directly encouraged him.

If possible, this soul bone would become even more valuable.

It might become more difficult to absorb, but Gu Ziyi doesn't intend to absorb it; he just wants it to become stronger.

"Okay, I'll give it a try..."

Xiao Tao also became interested. She couldn't transfer the sacrificed soul ring to someone else, but she should be able to transfer it back to her own soul bone, right?

hum-

Then, the energy and petals surrounding Gu Ziyi suddenly changed their rotation and began to converge on the soul bone in Gu Ziyi's hand.

With little hindrance, the energy generated after Xiaotao's sacrifice easily merged into the soul bone she left behind.

In an instant, the soul bone in Gu Ziyi's hand flew up and hovered in the air, becoming the new center of the energy storm.

The energy and petals from Xiaotao's sacrifice began to flow into it continuously.

"It actually works!"

Gu Ziyi's eyes lit up when he saw this.

Puff~

However, as more and more energy flowed in, the entire soul bone suddenly burst into flames. The soul bone burned redder and redder, eventually resembling molten iron, as if it would melt away at any moment.

"No, if this continues, the soul bones I left behind will also be destroyed..."

At this moment, Xiao Tao's voice rang out again.

At this point, there is still more than half of the energy surrounding it!

"Is this all that can be injected?"

Gu Ziyi was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, and then he took out a jade bottle with a flick of his wrist.

"Let's see if this extremely cold spring can help..."

After Gu Ziyi finished speaking, he tried dripping a drop of extremely cold spring water above the soul bone.

Nourishing ~

As you can see, the drop of extremely cold spring water was quickly burned and evaporated after it fell onto the soul bone, but the flames on the soul bone also weakened somewhat.

"Great, I can help..."

Xiao Tao's joyful voice rang out.

"Alright, you can continue. I'll help you depending on the situation..."

Gu Ziyi nodded.

"……Um!"

As Xiaotao landed, the energy petals that were still swirling outside continued to be injected into the soul bone.

Gu Ziyi continuously dripped the extremely cold spring water onto the soul bone to prevent it from being burned and destroyed.

"Xiao Tao, could you condense the shape of the soul bone into a longsword?"

Seeing that the soul bone looked like a red-hot iron block, with the feeling that it could be forged and shaped at will, Gu Ziyi's heart stirred again, and he quickly spoke up.

"……good!"

Although she didn't know why Gu Ziyi wanted to shape the soul bone into the shape of a longsword, Xiao Tao still agreed.

Without realizing it, Xiao Tao herself didn't notice that she, who should have hated Gu Ziyi, had become completely obedient to him.

Then, the soul bone in front of Gu Ziyi slowly stretched and deformed under the influence of some kind of force, and finally actually condensed into the shape of a long sword.

As the longsword was fully formed, the energy sacrificed by Xiaotao was completely incorporated into the longsword, and the energy field that originally existed around Gu Ziyi disappeared without a trace.

As the longsword was fully formed, Gu Ziyi's eyes were filled with delight, but he took a step or two back instead of going up to take the sword.

learn from mistakes.

He couldn't guarantee that this soul bone wouldn't be detrimental to him.

Ding~

After the longsword soul bone took shape, it fell from the sky, the tip of the sword piercing the ground and disappearing completely, leaving only the hilt sticking out.

"Ugh...it's so dark!"

"What are you doing? Why aren't you pulling me out?"

"Damn it, you're actually on guard against me..."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Tao's voice rang in Gu Ziyi's mind.

Upon hearing Xiao Tao's voice, Gu Ziyi realized that in addition to being able to hear her voice, he could also sense her emotions.

At this moment, Xiaotao was clearly very aggrieved and angry.

But he didn't have any intention of harming Gu Ziyi.

"Of course, it's because I'm afraid you'll try to harm me again!"

"After all, you were just about to kill me."

Gu Ziyi wasn't embarrassed; he simply responded calmly.

After saying that, Gu Ziyi stepped forward and drew his sword.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he found that he could sense Xiao Tao's emotions, which is why he dared to go forward.

Because the other party really has no intention of harming him right now.

Clang~

Looking at the longsword in his hand, its blade was entirely crimson, made of what appeared to be wood, yet it was undeniably sharp. Gu Ziyi liked it more and more as he looked at it.

"Well...you were the one who arrested me first!"

"Do you...do you know what's going on with me right now? Why do I seem to be alive even though I offered myself as a sacrifice?"

"Why do I feel like we're bound together now? No one else can use this soul bone except you!"

Xiao Tao first snorted coldly, then asked Gu Ziyi with great curiosity.

Because she realized that she herself couldn't understand her current state.

She should have died after sacrificing herself. Even if her soul remained in the soul bone, it should have remained dormant there, waiting for someone else to absorb the soul bone and trigger a soul shock. She shouldn't have the freedom she has now.

However, she could still sense that she was bound to Gu Ziyi.

"Tell me about your current situation in detail!"

Gu Ziyi did not answer, but instead asked Xiao Tao to answer his question first.

He had the same feeling; it was as if the Soul Bone Sword in his hand was bound to him!

That's why he dared to step forward and pick up the sword just now.
