, Level 2

Chapter 44, Level 20

"Xiao Yi, did you make all of these?"

After Qian Xunji arrived, he quickly saw the dozen or so Wind Talismans that Gu Ziyi had prepared.

"Yes, teacher!"

Gu Ziyi replied.

"Excellent, excellent, as expected of my disciple, you have not disappointed your teacher!"

Qian Xunji burst into laughter.

When Qian Xunji learned that Gu Ziyi's soul power could be inscribed on his talisman through soul bones, he realized that Gu Ziyi might succeed.

Qian Xunji was overjoyed to see that Gu Ziyi had actually succeeded.

At least Gu Ziyi's ability to research soul skills surprised him greatly.

Everyone in the research department praised Gu Ziyi.

This made him, as a teacher, feel very proud.

"Teacher, I'm not a problem either!"

"My junior brother succeeded thanks to my help."

Bibi Dong then proudly began to recount her own contributions.

"Yes, yes, Dong'er is amazing too!"

Chihiro laughed heartily.

"Come on, let the teacher see these wind charms you made!"

Qian Xunji then examined the wind-traveling talismans that Gu Ziyi had made, confirming that Gu Ziyi had indeed successfully researched and developed them.

"Xiao Yi, don't you think your martial spirit is actually quite extraordinary?"

After the initial surprise, Qian Xunji suddenly asked Gu Ziyi a question.

Long before, Qian Xunji realized that Gu Ziyi's martial soul was not so simple. The special soul skills were fine, but the main problem was that Gu Ziyi's martial soul could actually be inscribed with soul bones and soul skills.

This is something that no other auxiliary martial soul can do.

But Gu Ziyi's talisman martial soul is capable of that.

"Yes, teacher, that's what I think too!"

"Back when I awakened my martial soul..."

Upon hearing Qian Xunji's words, Gu Ziyi did not hide anything and immediately recounted the strange phenomena he had seen in his consciousness when he awakened his martial soul.

It's no big deal to say this; it won't change anything.

Bibi Dong, who was standing next to her, blinked after hearing this, her eyes full of surprise. She hadn't expected that something like this would happen when Gu Ziyi awakened his martial soul.

"As expected, your martial spirit is not simple!"

"It seems the mutation caused a problem, resulting in a defect that led to your martial soul's low quality..."

"But judging from the performance of your martial soul, it doesn't seem to be a low-quality martial soul. Neither your soul skills nor the abilities of the soul skills inscribed on your soul bones should exhibit the characteristics of a low-quality martial soul..."

"But regardless, your innate soul power is indeed only level 1!"

Qian Xunji sighed one last time, looking somewhat melancholy.

Gu Ziyi fell silent upon hearing this.

Because he knew what Qian Xunji was regretting.

A Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 has too low a potential.

To date, no Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 has been able to cultivate to Level 30 and become a Soul Venerable.

A Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 can only reach the level of a Level 29 Great Soul Master at most.

Just like Yu Xiaogang's situation in the original work.

Furthermore, it is not easy for a Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 to cultivate to Level 29; very few people can actually do it.

Gu Ziyi only learned after arriving in Douluo Continent that the level of innate soul power is divided into only 1 to 10 levels, with level 10 being the innate full soul power.

Apart from that, there is no concept of half a level in the classification of innate soul power levels.

In other words, Yu Xiaogang's claim of having half a level of soul power in the original work was merely a statement he created himself.

That's true. His innate soul power was already low, so he might as well say it was even lower. This way, it would prove that it's still amazing that he could cultivate to level 29 with only half a level. It's not his fault that he couldn't break through to level 30, since he only had half a level and didn't even have level 1.

This was actually a concern that Gu Ziyi had been worried about ever since he learned about the situation of innate soul power level 1.

He's not afraid of slow upgrades; he's just afraid of reaching the limit and being unable to upgrade any further.

In Gu Ziyi's view, only the immortal herb could solve this problem.

Alternatively, once he reaches level 29, he can further improve his soul power level by continuously enhancing the quality of his soul rings.

But that's too far off.

Gu Ziyi can be promoted two levels every year, so it will take him eight years.

Moreover, improving the quality of a spirit ring requires more energy and takes longer than improving the level of spirit power.

Even if this method works, it will be many years from now.

This is something Gu Ziyi cannot tolerate.

Therefore, Gu Ziyi was determined to obtain the immortal herb.

And Gu Ziyi already has a plan.

The turning point came with the soul bone that Qian Xunji gave him.

That soul bone, of three thousand years quality, is also a soul bone with a buffed soul skill: invisibility!

Yes, invisibility!

That soul bone's soul skill was invisibility.

Invisibility is a top-tier soul skill, regardless of its quality.

However, the invisibility ability of this soul bone has a flaw: after becoming invisible, you cannot use any soul skills, otherwise you will be immediately exposed.

This isn't very useful in combat, but it presents an opportunity for Gu Ziyi.

If he could create an invisibility talisman and make more preparations, he might be able to venture into Sunset Forest.

However, Gu Ziyi didn't plan to go now. At the very least, he would wait until he broke through level 20 before he dared to try.

If you're only around level ten, you're still too weak.

Although it seems weak after level 20, it is still a big level stronger.

So after successfully making the Wind-Riding Talisman, Gu Ziyi began to research and develop the Invisibility Talisman.

The reason why the invisibility talisman wasn't developed first was because the inscriptions for the invisibility talisman were quite complex, so Gu Ziyi practiced with the Wind Rune talisman first.

Three months later, after successfully researching the Wind-Riding Talisman, Gu Ziyi, now with experience, finally succeeded in making the Invisibility Talisman himself.

After that, Gu Ziyi stopped researching other self-created soul skills and instead focused on practicing the creation of Windwalking Talismans and Invisibility Talismans, constantly improving his proficiency.

In his studies on flowers and plants, Gu Ziyi would seek guidance from Soul Douluo Yue Guan whenever he had time. In addition, Gu Ziyi intentionally asked Yue Guan to tell him about the top-quality flowers and plants first, so Gu Ziyi had a basic grasp of the knowledge about immortal herbs.

In particular, Gu Ziyi recalled everything he had read, including what the main characters ate in the original novel and what Tang San used. Based on Yue Guan's teachings, he remembered everything.

What surprised Gu Ziyi was that Yue Guan knew that those top-grade medicinal herbs were called immortal herbs, and Yue Guan also referred to those immortal herbs as immortal-grade medicinal herbs.

hum-

Time passed, and on the day Gu Ziyi turned 16, she broke through the level 20 mark.

"Finally, a breakthrough!"

Gu Ziyi, who had truly grown into a handsome young man, opened his eyes and excitedly clenched his fist.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

After breaking through level 20, Gu Ziyi should add a second spirit ring to his martial soul.
