Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 82

Chapter 82: Bibi Dong’s Jealousy

“Hahaha!”

“Good, she truly lives up to being my good daughter!”

“She’s brought great honor to our Min branch!”

Hao Tian Sect, Min branch.

When Bai He received the intelligence regarding the Soul Master competition, after repeatedly confirming it, he burst into laughter.

He hadn’t expected his daughter to shine so brightly in this Soul Master competition, bringing great honor to their Min branch.

“Using her teammate’s Martial Soul as a weapon, perfectly leveraging our Min branch’s speed advantage…”

Bai He then carefully reviewed the information in the intelligence, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

This unprecedented approach gave him hope for the Min branch’s rise.

He would definitely not change their tradition of only absorbing Swift-tailed Swallow Soul Beast Soul Rings.

Their branch was the Swift-tailed Swallow in the Soul Master world.

If they could increase their combat power while retaining their tradition, that would be fantastic.

He wasn’t unaware that weapons could enhance their combat strength, but they truly didn’t want to use ordinary weapons. No Soul Master in the Soul Master world used ordinary weapons; it was too shameful.

Besides, ordinary weapons had limited killing power. Against slightly stronger Soul Masters, those weapons couldn’t even break through their defenses, making their use counterproductive.

Unless the weapon possessed enough destructive power to kill a 30-level Soul Emperor, the Min branch wouldn’t use it; they couldn’t afford the humiliation.

But his daughter using her teammate’s Martial Soul as a weapon gave him a completely new perspective.

Yes, ordinary weapons are too weak; why not use a Soul Master’s weapon-type Martial Soul as a weapon?

If he could find a family with weapon-type Martial Souls to cooperate with, it would be perfect.

“Not very realistic…”

“No one who can become a Soul Master would willingly act as a foil; otherwise, I could just cooperate with the Po branch!”

However, Bai He soon shook his head; he didn’t even dare to imagine Yang Wudi’s fury if he proposed such an idea.

And the Hao Tian Sect probably wouldn’t agree either.

The Min branch’s position within the Hao Tian Sect was to gather intelligence and act as scouts; other affiliated families handled combat, and the main Hao Tian Sect wasn’t just for show.

“Sigh—”

“Oh well, at least I’ve found a way to improve our branch’s combat capabilities!”

Finally, Bai He sighed, deciding not to think about it anymore.

…

The fact that Bai Lu and her teammate Sasha weren’t actually using a true Martial Soul Fusion Technique was revealed to everyone within a few days.

This was because someone knowledgeable revealed the truth.

Everyone who knew the truth was shocked; they never expected the reality to be like this.

Although they weren’t using a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, more and more viewers enjoyed watching their matches.

Martial Soul Fusion Techniques were uncommon, and Bai Lu’s combat method of using her teammate’s weapon-type Martial Soul as a weapon was even rarer!

Especially Bai Lu’s combat scenes, where speed was taken to the extreme, were incredibly cool.

Therefore, Bai Lu’s popularity didn’t decrease after the truth was revealed; instead, she gained even more fans.

In the Soul Master competition, other teams even tried to imitate Bai Lu’s combat style.

However, the results were drastically different; not only did it not increase their combat power, but it also made them easier targets for their opponents.

Everyone then realized that Bai Lu’s combat style wasn’t suitable for everyone; it was perfectly suited only for Soul Masters like her, who possessed a single agility attribute and lacked offensive Soul Skills.

Ultimately, however, Bai Lu’s team was eliminated before reaching the advancement stage.

But this didn’t bother Bai Lu; she’d had enough fun.

She had truly stolen the spotlight in this Soul Master competition.

“I really envy her. Although she lost the match, so many people now know her name!”

After watching Bai Lu’s final match, Bibi Dong said enviously.

She still had some time before her turn to compete.

While speaking, she sarcastically addressed Gu Ziyue with a hint of sourness: “Junior Brother, you’re so biased. You helped one of our former classmates solve her cultivation problem, and you gave another such a brilliant idea that let her shine in the competition! But you haven’t given me any guidance, your senior sister!”

“…”

Bibi Dong’s words left Gu Ziyue slightly embarrassed.

But after thinking it over, Gu Ziyue became self-assured: “No, Sister, your cultivation has always been top-notch, with the best teachers assigned to you; why would you need me?”

“Besides, haven’t I helped you? Your rapid progress these years is all thanks to my Soul Skill assistance, right?”

This was the real reason Gu Ziyue hadn’t given Bibi Dong any guidance.

Gu Ziyue did have some ideas on how to strengthen Bibi Dong.

That is, how to help her better utilize her twin Martial Souls. In the original story, Bibi Dong could seamlessly switch between her two Martial Souls, but when using Soul Skills, she could only use the Soul Skills of one Martial Soul at a time.

If Bibi Dong could simultaneously use the Soul Skills of both Martial Souls, or even develop her own Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the enhancement would be significant.

However, these things were currently unnecessary for Bibi Dong.

Because she hadn’t started cultivating her second Martial Soul yet; it was too early to discuss such things.

But learning how to control her twin Martial Souls earlier wouldn’t be a bad thing.

It would make further development easier later.

“But I do have an idea about your future cultivation, Sister!”

After this thought, Gu Ziyue spoke to Bibi Dong.

It wasn’t really a concrete method, just a direction for Bibi Dong’s cultivation.

“I can use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique myself…”

Even just an idea, it made Bibi Dong’s eyes light up instantly, as she had never considered that someone could use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique alone.

Martial Soul Fusion Techniques usually require compatible Martial Souls and mutual understanding and trust between two or more people.

Mutual understanding and trust were the most difficult aspect.

However, this wasn’t a problem for her, since she was alone.

“Then how can I use both of my Martial Souls simultaneously?”

Bibi Dong quickly identified the difficulty and eagerly questioned Gu Ziyue.

“That you’ll have to figure out yourself!”

“The most important thing is to find a way to control them separately!”

Gu Ziyue said.

With weapon-type Martial Souls, using both Martial Souls simultaneously would be easier; it would be more difficult with beast-type Martial Souls.

Because it requires Martial Soul embodiment.

To achieve simultaneous embodiment of two Martial Souls, Bibi Dong really had to explore it herself.
