Chapter 42 was disliked.

(The previous text has been revised; Chrysanthemum Douluo's level has been changed to Soul Douluo, just like Spirit Kite Douluo, and he hasn't been officially granted a title yet!)

Bibi Dong jumped away as if she had encountered a frightened insect.

If Bibi Dong initially liked Gu Ziyi's Purification Mantra very much, she gradually stopped liking it.

Aside from studying, she didn't want Gu Ziyi to stick to her at all other times.

She found that everything became boring and uninteresting after she put on the Heart-Cleansing Mantra talisman.

Therefore, as long as she wasn't studying, Bibi Dong was very resistant to Gu Ziyi's Heart-Cleansing Mantra talisman.

Moreover, her plan to watch Gu Ziyi research things was originally to satisfy her own curiosity.

After she affixed the Heart-Cleansing Mantra talisman, it was as if she hadn't seen it at all.

Because once it's pasted on, there's no longer any curiosity!

"Then you promise not to move around..."

Gu Ziyi glanced at Bibi Dong speechlessly. His purification spell had actually been rejected, and this wasn't the first time.

"I promise!"

Bibi Dong quickly raised her hand with a smile to assure him.

I don't believe you for a second...

Gu Ziyi thought to himself, "I can't trust Bibi Dong who didn't put the sticker on him."

Perhaps because they were familiar with each other, Bibi Dong would act like a little girl around him and tease him quite a bit.

She's still just a 10-year-old girl!

"Alright..."

Knowing he couldn't get rid of Bibi Dong, Gu Ziyi stopped paying attention to her.

hum-

Since Bibi Dong refused to wear the Purification Mantra talisman, Gu Ziyi wore it on himself instead.

Instantly, the slight irritation and impatience in my heart disappeared.

"Boring—"

When Bibi Dong saw Gu Ziyi affix the Heart-Cleansing Mantra talisman to herself, she curled her lip in disdain.

Aside from studying, she genuinely despised everything else.

hum-

However, Gu Ziyi ignored Bibi Dong at this moment. He took out his soul bone with his left hand and summoned a blank talisman with his right hand.

"Soul Bone Skill - Azure Wind Swiftness!"

Suddenly, Gu Ziyi, who was holding the soul bone in his left hand, activated the soul bone's soul skill.

After going to the Spirit Hall's Spirit Skill Research and Development Department, Gu Ziyi discovered that there were other researchers there who were also developing spirit skills using spirit bones.

Furthermore, the researchers there had already developed a method to activate soul bones and soul skills.

That is, to directly activate the soul skills on the soul bone without absorbing the soul bone.

Although this method has been developed long ago, it has not been widely adopted.

Because soul bones are so rare, who would use them as weapons?

If someone dares to use a soul bone as a weapon outside, they won't just attract surprise, but will be robbed by others.

This is why no one in the Soul Master world uses Soul Bones as weapons.

Not only are soul bones extremely rare, but there's also the worry that flaunting wealth will lead to being robbed.

Another reason is that if you use the skills on the soul bone in this way, the number of times the soul skills in the soul bone can be used is limited, and then you need to wait for it to slowly recover. Of course, you can also use soul power to nurture it to speed up the recovery, but it takes a long time. In the end, it is still better to directly absorb and refine the soul bone.

That's the most convenient!

hum-

As Gu Ziyi activated the soul bone, a cyan light suddenly emanated from it, which Gu Ziyi then controlled to land on the blank talisman in his other hand.

After the cyan light fell on the blank talisman, it immediately rippled and eventually calmed down.

At this moment, Gu Ziyi's blank talisman also changed, with some runes appearing out of thin air on it.

Original Soul Skill: Wind Walk Talisman!

The blank talisman now in Gu Ziyi's hand has transformed into a Windwalker Talisman with a soul skill.

It can increase speed by 30% after use.

A soul bone skill of millennium quality, a 30% boost is considered average.

The third soul skill of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has a damage rate of over 40%, and it is also an area-of-effect skill.

Bibi Dong, who was standing nearby, was not surprised at all when she saw this scene.

If it were only this level, Gu Ziyi would have achieved it long ago.

However, this level of research and development was not what Gu Ziyi wanted.

What we've achieved so far is simply transferring the soul skills from the soul bone to a blank talisman, and there's a time limit; if it's not used within a certain time, it will dissipate.

If that's all there is to it, Gu Ziyi might as well just bring the soul bone directly.

Therefore, this kind of transfer is not very effective.

However, this research and development achievement shocked the entire R&D department at the time, and even Qian Xunji was alarmed.

Besides Gu Ziyi's talismans, they had also tried transferring some soul bones and soul skills to other auxiliary martial soul items, but they had never succeeded.

But Gu Ziyi's talisman actually succeeded.

It was as if Gu Ziyi's talismans were naturally suited to be used to carry soul skills.

Then they found other soul bones for Gu Ziyi to try, but only one succeeded, while the others failed, because that one was also a thousand-year-old soul bone.

But this was enough to shock Chihiro and the research department.

Finally, Qian Xunji gave the last piece of soul bone to Gu Ziyi as a reward.

However, in the end, everyone realized that Gu Ziyi's research results seemed to be of little use. He had simply transferred the soul bone and soul skills to a blank talisman, which was about the same as the effect of them holding the soul bone.

But I digress. Let's get back to the R&D site.

What needs to be done next is what Gu Ziyi has been researching.

hum-

Gu Ziyi then summoned another blank talisman.

Then Gu Ziyi placed the completed Wind-Riding Talisman on the table, and then held the Soul Bone in one hand and the blank talisman in the other.

This time, however, Gu Ziyi didn't directly activate the soul skill on the soul bone. Instead, he looked at the inscription on the Wind Rune and started to copy and draw it.

The tool for painting was the Soul Bone in Gu Ziyi's hands.

Gu Ziyi's soul power passed through the soul bone, then emanated from the tip of the soul bone, and finally landed on the blank talisman.

Gu Ziyi tried to inscribe it directly with his soul power, but it didn't work; no trace appeared on the blank talisman.

Only through the transmission of soul bones can a mark be inscribed.

Gu Ziyi focused intently on inscribing, and a rune identical to the previous Wind Rune gradually appeared on the blank talisman.

Gu Ziyi was progressing very quickly in the previous ones.

Because those were all the results of Gu Ziyi's many attempts. He remembered clearly which stroke required more soul power, which stroke needed to be gradually increased, and which step needed to be lightly passed.

Just as it was about to end, the blank talisman in Gu Ziyi's hand suddenly vanished with a bang.

Then a gust of wind exploded, blowing Gu Ziyi so that he was covered in dust.

Another failure...

So close!

Gu Ziyi calmly accepted the defeat and then prepared to continue.

"Oh dear, so close!"

"Junior brother, it's my turn this time!"

Before it even started, Bibi Dong snatched away the soul bone in his hand and the blank talisman he had just summoned.
