Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 78

Chapter 78: Gangzi’s Devastating Blow

Tang Yuehua, he knew her. The Hao Tian Sect Sect Master had brought Tang Yuehua to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect to seek help from his father, hoping his father could find a way to solve her inability to cultivate. When he was devastated after awakening his Martial Soul and discovering his innate Soul Power was only level 1, his father secretly told him about Tang Yuehua, to show him that some people were even worse off. She possessed a monstrous innate Soul Power of level 9, yet couldn’t cultivate due to a Martial Soul mutation. She was far worse off than him. His innate Soul Power was low, but at least he could cultivate and become a Soul Master! He often used her situation to comfort himself; whenever he felt down about his own talent, thinking of Tang Yuehua always cheered him up. Because Tang Yuehua, like him, was a direct descendant of the top three sects, and both suffered from talent setbacks due to Martial Soul mutations.

Now someone told him that Tang Yuehua could cultivate, and had even joined the Hao Tian team. The blow to him was imaginable. There was no one more unfortunate than him! In the entire top three sects, only he remained “uniquely beautiful” (meaning uniquely unlucky).

No, it absolutely couldn’t be her! Yu Xiaogan cried out in his heart.

“That’s right, she’s the daughter of the Hao Tian Sect Sect Master, Tang Hao’s sister!”

Unfortunately, the person’s reply instantly shattered the sliver of hope in Yu Xiaogan’s heart. The person they were talking about was indeed Tang Yuehua, the person he had always used to comfort himself.

“…”

Yu Xiaogan’s mouth hung open, speechless for a long time.

“Little brother, what’s wrong with you?”

“Are you alright?”

“Do you still want to hear?”

Only after the person waved a hand in front of his face did Yu Xiaogan snap back to reality.

“…Yeah, tell me, especially about Tang Yuehua, tell me everything you know.”

Yu Xiaogan nodded heavily and said. He just wanted to know the current situation of Tang Yuehua, who could now cultivate, and what her Soul Power level was. To join the Hao Tian team, it wouldn’t be too low, right? The thought made Yu Xiaogan’s heart ache again, and he felt a surge of reluctance to learn more.

“Haha, you want to know about Tang Yuehua?”

“If it were yesterday, not many people would know much, but today everyone knows quite a bit about her…”

The person laughed heartily and then excitedly continued to tell Yu Xiaogan about Tang Yuehua. It wasn’t much, just what the host had said today.

“…”

“Gu Ziyue, it’s actually Gu Ziyue…”

“So it was him who solved Tang Yuehua’s inability to cultivate…”

After learning the details, Yu Xiaogan didn’t know how to describe his feelings. He was definitely depressed. Before, he considered Gu Ziyue a rival, wanting to see who would break through the 30-level barrier first. Unfortunately, in the past few years, the Martial Soul Temple had hidden information about Bi Bi Dong and Gu Ziyue, so he didn’t know Gu Ziyue’s cultivation progress. But he never expected that before learning about Gu Ziyue’s cultivation, he would first learn that Tang Yuehua could cultivate, and that Gu Ziyue had helped her.

Why are you so amazing, why didn’t you help me solve my low-talent problem?

Especially after learning that Tang Yuehua was now a Soul Emperor, Yu Xiaogan’s heart was filled with bitterness. She was previously unable to cultivate, a waste even worse than him. Now, not only could she cultivate, her cultivation had skyrocketed, reaching Soul Emperor level. He still didn’t know if he could break through level 30 in his lifetime, yet she was already a Soul Emperor. And judging from Tang Yuehua’s current performance, she might even become a Title Douluo in the future. It was simply magical.

Yu Xiaogan was truly disheartened, his entire spirit wilted.

“I knew I shouldn’t have come to watch the competition…”

…

“Junior Brother, you just said you wanted to rekindle your relationship with Tang Yuehua, do you still have feelings for her?”

On the other side, Bi Bi Dong, who had just finished scolding Tang Hao with a smile on her face, quickly changed her expression. While walking, she turned her head and glared at Gu Ziyue with a deathly stare.

“No, I was just threatening Tang Hao.”

Gu Ziyue’s expression didn’t change, he simply replied calmly.

“Why didn’t you tell me about you and Tang Yuehua?”

Bi Bi Dong, seeing that Gu Ziyue wasn’t being evasive, didn’t ask further, but instead blamed him for hiding things from her.

“Senior Sister is so concerned about my love life?”

Gu Ziyue didn’t answer, but looked at Bi Bi Dong with meaning and asked back.

“Well…of course, you’re now a member of our Martial Soul Temple, and she’s from the Hao Tian Sect, I naturally can’t watch you make a mistake!”

Bi Bi Dong, feeling a little flustered under Gu Ziyue’s gaze, blushed slightly and quickly said.

“So I dealt with it cleanly and clearly!”

Gu Ziyue smiled.

“Hmm, good job! Remember to keep it up next time.”

“Let’s go, let’s not talk about your troubles, it’s so lively here, let’s go see what fun things there are!”

Bi Bi Dong nodded, and stopped talking about Gu Ziyue. She only needed to know that Gu Ziyue truly didn’t want to have anything to do with Tang Yuehua anymore.

The next day, Gu Ziyue saw Bai Lu’s team compete. With only one Soul Emperor, it was indeed a team of average strength. Gu Ziyue saw Bai Lu fight at full strength for the first time. She was faster than before; no one, teammate or opponent, could match her speed. But Bai Lu’s Soul Skills lacked offensive skills, and she didn’t fully utilize her speed advantage, so even her speed was useless. In the end, Bai Lu’s team lost the match. Their team’s points were now critically low; if they lost another match, they would theoretically have no chance of advancing. Gu Ziyue saw Bai Lu’s dejection after the defeat and found her after the match.

“Gu Ziyue, are you here to laugh at me?”

Bai Lu thought Gu Ziyue was there to make fun of her. After all, she and her cousin had just had a disagreement with Gu Ziyue yesterday.

“I believe you should know that what I said yesterday was entirely for your cousin’s sake.”

“Let’s not talk about her. After watching your match, I have some thoughts about your fighting style, would you like to hear them?”

Gu Ziyue first addressed yesterday’s matter, then directly stated his purpose. He wasn’t there to laugh at her. Gu Ziyue simply felt that if Bai Lu was willing to listen, he would give her some pointers. Out of gratitude for the letter she’d sent earlier. While he couldn’t help Bai Lu win the right to advance, he could still help her perform better in the following matches.
