Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 92 The Finals Begin

"Um... teacher!"

"Actually, the reason Bailu did that was because I gave her the idea!"

When Qian Xunji inquired about this matter, Gu Ziyi looked slightly embarrassed, but then directly told the truth.

"What?"

"You're the one who started this whole thing?"

Qian Xunji's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this. He had only intended to ask Gu Ziyi's opinion on the occurrence of such a thing and whether it was necessary to study it. He did not expect that it was Gu Ziyi who had brought it on.

[You were the one who orchestrated that?]

[How did you even come up with that idea? To actually let that white egret use his teammate's weapon spirit as a weapon?]

At the same time, the voice of the sword spirit Xiaotao rang in Gu Ziyi's mind once again.

She was so surprised that she couldn't help but exclaim.

Although she didn't participate in the competition, she had heard about the egret.

"Yes, teacher, wasn't Bailu my classmate and friend before?"

"After watching her race, I realized she didn't know how to utilize her speed advantage at all, so I casually gave her some pointers!"

Gu Ziyi gave an awkward smile and then explained.

At the same time, Gu Ziyi squeezed the soul bone peach wood sword in his hand, said nothing, but conveyed his dislike for the other party's noise, and then was about to put it into the soul tool.

【…Master, no!】

Noticing Gu Ziyi's actions, Xiao Tao finally gave in and called out her master's name with immense shame and indignation.

Although she felt ashamed, she was even more unwilling to enter the dark and gloomy soul tool.

Moreover, what Gu Ziyi said was true; she herself chose to sacrifice herself to Gu Ziyi, so Gu Ziyi became her master.

However, the most important thing is that Gu Ziyi cultivates a self-condensing soul ring, which is the reason why she has the most positive impression of Gu Ziyi.

If Gu Ziyi becomes powerful enough to encourage all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent to cultivate the method of self-condensing Soul Rings, then it wouldn't be a problem for her to call Gu Ziyi "Master".

As for whether he hates Gu Ziyi or not?

She must still hate Gu Ziyi, hate that Gu Ziyi led people to capture her, hate that Gu Ziyi caused her to sacrifice herself.

Rather than harboring resentment towards Gu Ziyi, she now hopes that Gu Ziyi can become stronger as soon as possible, so that more soul masters will know that self-condensed soul rings can also make one stronger, and even more advantageous, thus encouraging more soul masters to choose to cultivate self-condensed soul rings.

That's a good boy/girl!

Hearing Xiao Tao call him "master," Gu Ziyi felt secretly pleased.

Thank you for the praise, Master. Little Peach will be well-behaved from now on.

If Xiaotao had a physical body at this moment, she would definitely have said those words through gritted teeth.

Gu Ziyi clearly sensed the other person's intense shame and indignation, but it was alright, Gu Ziyi didn't care, as long as the other person obeyed.

"Haha, what a clever suggestion!"

"Little Yi, your casual suggestion has caused quite a stir in the world of Soul Masters!"

"Before this, no one had ever imagined that weapon spirits could be used in this way!"

After hearing Gu Ziyi's explanation, Qian Xunji couldn't help but tease Gu Ziyi, but his tone was full of pride.

This is my disciple, Qian Xunji!

"Actually, there's no need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing, because no Soul Master would willingly let someone else use their Martial Soul."

"The egret's teammates are willing, and it's all for the sake of the competition!"

"This situation may occur in the future, but only in special circumstances, such as when a Soul Master with a Weapon Soul is injured and loses his combat ability. In that case, it would be better to hand over the Soul to someone else to use."

"However, this method is only useful for pure speed-type Soul Masters like those from the Agile Clan. Other Soul Masters will be better off using their own Soul Skills!"

Gu Ziyi casually offered his opinion, indicating that it didn't need to be given too much attention.

People were just curious and only paid attention at first.

This model has potential, but it's not realistic.

For example, a Soul Master with a Weapon Martial Soul might not pursue powerful Soul Skills when adding Soul Rings to themselves. Instead, they would focus on evolving their own Martial Soul, constantly adding attributes such as sharpness, hardness, and armor-piercing to enhance the Martial Soul's inherent properties.

The weapon spirit evolved from a Soul Emperor would then possess extraordinary destructive power.

At this time, because this Soul Emperor mainly absorbed Soul Rings from the evolved Martial Soul itself, his combat power might not be very strong.

However, the weapon spirit in his hand will be very strong. If this weapon spirit appears in the hands of a soul master like the Agile Clan who only has speed, the combat power he can unleash will be terrifying.

If two Soul Emperors cooperate, they might be able to easily kill a Soul Saint.

Just like Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, he is only a Soul Saint now, but his speed of communication is already no weaker than any Title Douluo. If he were given a weapon that is also specially evolved by a Soul Saint or Soul Douluo, he could even kill a Title Douluo.

Once Bai He breaks through to the Soul Douluo level, Gu Ziyi knows that his speed will be unparalleled in the entire Douluo Continent, making him the fastest. He can traverse the entire Douluo Continent in just three days.

If Baihe had obtained a powerful weapon back then, his strength would have been unimaginably terrifying.

Of course, the powerful weapons needed here cannot be forged by blacksmiths; only the Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall, through special evolution, could possibly create them.

Or give the egret a magical weapon.

But obtaining a divine artifact is even more difficult.

However, this only allows Baihe to perfectly convert his extreme speed into combat power; it's impossible for him to be invincible.

Some special soul skills, such as domains, cannot be broken by speed and powerful weapons alone.

"That's right, that's what the teacher thinks too. We really don't need to pay too much attention to it. Instead of doing these things, it would be more practical to work on what you gave the research department before!"

Chihiro nodded approvingly.

Finally, Qian Xunji asked Gu Ziyi again if he was truly confident about winning the Soul Master Competition.

Gu Ziyi naturally answered that he was confident.

A few days later, Gu Ziyi finally understood why Qian Xunji had asked that question.

It turns out that Qian Xunji applied to the two great empires to have the final of this Soul Master Competition held at the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Qian Xunji offered two soul bones as the champion's prize for the competition.

The two great empires naturally did not refuse upon learning of this; if they wanted to refuse, they would have to consider the wishes of those teams.

Those teams definitely want to compete in the finals at the Spirit Hall for the two soul bones.

Just after the finals of the Soul Master Competition were confirmed to be held at the Spirit Hall, the qualifying rounds of the two great empires also came to an end.

Finally, the thirty teams selected by the two great empires, plus two seeded teams, a total of thirty-two teams, all headed towards Wuhun City.

One week later.

All the teams arrived, escorted by the armies of the two great empires.

The final round of this Soul Master Competition has begun.

"We've finally arrived!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the gate of Wuhun City and sighed.

He also came to watch the final match.

"I wonder if I'll be able to see Gu Ziyi!"

While looking forward to the finals, Yu Xiaogang was also hoping to see Gu Ziyi.

He was eager to know how the pope's disciple, who shared his talent, was doing now.
