Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 48

Chapter 48: Soul Ring Upgrade

“It’s because my talent is too poor!”

“Therefore, I know very well that if I cultivate in the same old way as others, my future is practically predetermined, and I will never break through level 30!”

“That’s why I’m trying some other methods.”

“I’ve always been keen on researching Martial Soul knowledge, hoping to find other solutions!”

Gu Ziyue calmly explained.

This was indeed his initial thought. As for what if the results were even worse?

He was already so weak; what did it matter if he was even weaker?

After hearing Gu Ziyue’s words, the three of Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment.

They only then realized that Gu Ziyue was seeking alternative paths because of his poor talent.

They couldn’t quite relate to this feeling, as their talents were all top-tier.

However, they understood why Gu Ziyue did this and why he was so passionate about exploring and researching Martial Soul knowledge.

A trace of heartache involuntarily appeared in Bibi Dong’s eyes. So, her junior brother had always been troubled by his own talent!

“What’s the difference between self-condensed Soul Rings and Soul Beast Soul Rings?”

After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu immediately changed the subject.

“The Soul Skills generated by self-condensed Soul Rings are easier to master, and I can freely increase or decrease the effects of my Soul Skills. The higher my Soul Power level, the more I can enhance the effects of my Soul Skills!”

“Also, I’ve compared many classmates before. For the same first Soul Skill, self-condensed Soul Rings consume far less Soul Power!”

Gu Ziyue first mentioned two advantages of self-condensed Soul Rings.

Easier to control, lower consumption.

“However, these are not the most precious aspects of self-condensed Soul Rings!”

After mentioning the two advantages, Gu Ziyue said this.

“Oh?”

“What other advantages does a self-condensed Soul Ring have?”

Qian Daoliu’s gaze sharpened. He guessed that whatever Gu Ziyue was about to say must be extraordinary.

“Grand Elder, Teacher, Senior Sister!”

“Please wait a moment; you’ll see for yourselves soon.”

Gu Ziyue didn’t immediately reveal the answer, maintaining an air of mystery.

Then, Gu Ziyue sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Although they didn’t know why Gu Ziyue was doing this, Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji naturally wouldn’t interrupt him.

Bibi Dong also watched Gu Ziyue cultivate curiously.

Gu Ziyue was now completely immersed in cultivation.

However, this time, his purpose wasn’t to cultivate Soul Power, but to enhance the quality of his Soul Ring.

A week ago, Gu Ziyue’s first Soul Ring had reached the limit of a ten-year quality, about to upgrade to a hundred-year Soul Ring.

At that time, however, he didn’t want to reveal his ability to enhance Soul Ring quality, so he suppressed the energy absorption of his first Soul Ring, actively halting its evolution.

Now, there was no need to hide it anymore. He could upgrade it in front of Qian Daoliu and the others.

Let them witness the upgrade of the self-condensed Soul Ring firsthand.

Immersed in cultivation, without Gu Ziyue’s active suppression, every cycle of his cultivation infused energy into his first Soul Ring.

This was repeated, cycle after cycle.

Buzz——

Finally, after half an hour, Gu Ziyue’s first Soul Ring broke through a certain limit, a dazzling white light emitting a brilliant radiance, a captivating yellow hue blooming within the white light.

Finally, the white light emitted by the first Soul Ring was completely replaced by the yellow light.

Thus, Gu Ziyue’s first Soul Ring evolved into a hundred-year quality yellow Soul Ring.

Whew——

After successfully upgrading his first Soul Ring, Gu Ziyue immediately stopped cultivating.

“Grand Elder, Teacher, look!”

Then, Gu Ziyue stood up, summoning his Martial Soul and Soul Rings.

Buzz——

The familiar Martial Soul appeared before Qian Daoliu and the others, but the two Soul Rings that followed immediately widened their eyes.

“A hundred-year Soul Ring?”

“Yellow?”

“This is impossible…”

Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong exclaimed. Although Qian Daoliu didn’t exclaim, the shock in his eyes was no less profound.

“Yes, my first Soul Ring is now a hundred-year Soul Ring!”

“This is the most precious aspect of self-condensed Soul Rings; they can enhance their quality through cultivation!”

Seeing the surprised expressions of Qian Daoliu and the others, Gu Ziyue couldn’t help but feel a little smug, then said.

“Enhancing a Soul Ring…”

“It’s actually possible to enhance the quality of a Soul Ring…”

“This is incredible!”

After hearing Gu Ziyue’s words, Qian Xunji was incredibly excited. This matter was huge.

In the Soul Master world, some people had enhanced the quality of their Soul Rings due to fortuitous encounters, but the ability to enhance Soul Ring quality through cultivation had never appeared before.

“Amazing!”

Bibi Dong’s eyes were full of stars.

“How is this possible? If self-condensed Soul Rings can enhance Soul Ring quality, why were they abandoned in the past?”

Qian Daoliu was also very shocked, but after the shock, he quickly realized a point of confusion.

“It’s because of advanced Meditation Techniques!”

“Self-condensed Soul Rings can only enhance Soul Ring quality when paired with advanced Meditation Techniques!”

“In the ancient times, before the method of self-condensed Soul Rings was lost, advanced Meditation Techniques hadn’t been discovered yet!”

Gu Ziyue said with a smile.

“That’s right, that’s why you asked me when advanced Meditation Techniques emerged…”

“So that’s it, so self-condensed Soul Rings require advanced Meditation Techniques…”

After hearing Gu Ziyue’s words, Qian Xunji immediately recalled that Gu Ziyue had also asked him about the time when advanced Meditation Techniques appeared.

“I see!”

Qian Daoliu nodded, finally understanding completely.

If that were the case, it would make sense!

For a moment, however, Qian Daoliu was a little overwhelmed. The fact that self-condensed Soul Rings could enhance Soul Ring quality was too significant, leaving him momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Gradually, Qian Daoliu’s expression calmed down.

“Xiaoyi, tell me everything about self-condensed Soul Rings in detail!”

“Also, how do you think our Martial Soul Temple should respond to the emergence of self-condensed Soul Rings?”

Qian Daoliu’s address to Gu Ziyue changed. He first needed to learn about self-condensed Soul Rings in detail from Gu Ziyue before deciding on a course of action.

And he didn’t forget Gu Ziyue’s intelligence. He presumed Gu Ziyue, having studied self-condensed Soul Rings for so long, must have considered the impact on the Soul Master world. Therefore, Qian Daoliu also planned to hear Gu Ziyue’s thoughts.

“Alright, Grand Elder!”

“Actually, self-condensed Soul Rings aren’t suitable for all Soul Masters…”
