**Chapter 29: Joining the Martial Soul Hall**
Joining the Martial Soul Hall was a decision Gu Ziyi made after careful consideration.
It is still early for Tang San to transmigrate into this world and destroy the Martial Soul Hall!
Therefore, Gu Ziyi wasn't afraid of facing the protagonist Tang San.
Moreover, due to his intrusion, it was difficult to say whether Tang San and his group would even appear in this timeline.
Perhaps the futures of Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others would take a different turn when they were born in this life?
The future was still far off, and Gu Ziyi only needed to focus on the present.
Half a month later, he arrived at a branch of the Martial Soul Hall in the Tiandou Imperial Capital.
Looking at the angel god statue in the branch's building, Gu Ziyi observed it more closely. This statue wasn't crafted accurately in the likeness of the angel god.
However, he didn't mind and entered.
"Hello, what brings you to our branch today?"
Soon, a staff member approached and asked Gu Ziyi about the purpose of his visit.
In their mind, he was likely here to receive the new Soul Master stipend or to undergo Soul Master certification.
"Hello, I would like to join the Martial Soul Hall and officially register as a Soul Master."
Gu Ziyi looked at the staff member and directly stated his purpose.
"You want to join our Martial Soul Hall?"
"Of course, please follow me!"
The Martial Soul Hall staff member suddenly became much friendlier when they learned that Gu Ziyi intended to join their faction.
The other party led the way and guided him inside.
"Deacon Ayres, he's here to sign up to join our Martial Soul Hall!"
After entering, Gu Ziyi followed and soon met an elderly man with white hair.
Judging by the other party's attire, he was a Deacon and likely the one in charge of this temple.
"Signing up to join the Martial Soul Hall?"
The person in charge of the branch, Ayres, also had a kind smile on his face when he saw his subordinate bringing Gu Ziyi: "I'm glad you recognize our Martial Soul Hall. I'm Ayres, the head of this branch!"
"Hello, can I join now?"
Gu Ziyi greeted politely and asked directly.
Except for those invited by the Martial Soul Hall to join, other applicants had to be evaluated before being accepted into their ranks.
The purpose of this evaluation was to determine if one was qualified to join the Martial Soul Hall, as they didn't accept just anyone.
"Of course. Have you registered with the Martial Soul Hall before?"
Upon hearing this, Ayres stroked his beard and smiled.
The reason he asked was because many Soul Masters had not yet registered with the Martial Soul Hall. Those who didn't wish to register were mostly Soul Masters trained by sects or empires.
"Yes, here's my badge!"
Gu Ziyi took out his badge.
Ayres took his badge and checked it.
Although it was just a badge, it contained all of Gu Ziyi's information, including whether he had received this month's stipend. All the details could be read and updated by some special means.
"Innate Soul Power Level 1…"
"Martial Soul—Talisman; Auxiliary Martial Soul; mutated from Paper Martial Soul…"
"He will be 13 in two months, Soul Power level 14, first Soul Ring is white, soul skill is the Purifying Curse Talisman of the Heart…"
Through the badge, Ayres quickly learned all about Gu Ziyi.
At first, he was very disappointed with his qualifications. After all, he only had Innate Soul Power Level 1, and it was hard to say if he could become a Soul Master in the future.
"Innate Soul Power Level 1 and you're not yet 13, but you've already advanced to Level 14!"
"And your Martial Soul is auxiliary, which is incredible!"
"Your first soul skill is also very special!"
"Congratulations, Gu Ziyi. Based on your situation, you can officially register as a Soul Master in our Martial Soul Hall!"
However, after learning everything about Gu Ziyi, his opinion changed.
Just based on his training speed, his unique Martial Soul, and his soul skill, it was enough for him to join the Martial Soul Hall.
"Senior Ayres, in addition to the information registered on the badge, my first soul skill has another hidden effect."
Gu Ziyi wasn't surprised by Ayres' approval.
However, he didn't want to be seen as an ordinary talent entering the Martial Soul Hall, so he was prepared to reveal the special nature of his first soul skill.
If you want to be cultivated by the Martial Soul Hall, you must let the other party see your value.
And Gu Ziyi felt that if the hidden effect of his first soul skill—which accelerated cultivation—was known to the Martial Soul Hall, they would maximize the value of his soul skill.
How to maximize it, you ask?
Naturally, by giving it to those who need it most!
With Gu Ziyi's current level of Soul Power, the Purifying Curse Talisman of the Heart would have little effect on high-level Soul Masters, and its best effect would be on lower-level Soul Masters like himself.
At this moment, in the Martial Soul Hall, there was someone whose Soul Power level was similar to his, yet that person was being cultivated to the fullest extent by the Martial Soul Hall.
Bibi Dong.
That's right, Bibi Dong!
Currently, Pope Qian Xunji was doing everything in his power to cultivate her.
So, with the help of his soul skill, Bibi Dong's cultivation speed could increase even further.
This time, Gu Ziyi planned to connect with Bibi Dong and try to benefit by helping her.
Even if his ability were used solely for her, the Martial Soul Hall wouldn't mind nurturing him. The stronger he became, the more effectively he could help Bibi Dong.
Of course, Gu Ziyi was simply preparing to accompany Bibi Dong in cultivation and had no intention of flirting with her.
Not only was she still too young, but even if she were the right age, he wouldn't dare act rashly.
After what happened with Tang Yuehua, Gu Ziyi had learned his lesson and knew that it wasn't easy to flirt with girls of special backgrounds.
Originally, he had planned to head directly to Spirit City and join the headquarters.
However, the road from the Tiandou Imperial Capital to Spirit City wasn't very safe for someone as weak as him, so Gu Ziyi opted to register at a branch first.
He had carefully selected this Martial Temple branch because Ayres, the one in charge, had a very good reputation here.
"Oh? Your first soul skill has another hidden effect?"
When Ayres heard Gu Ziyi's words, he immediately asked, intrigued.
"Yes, aside from the recorded effects, my first soul skill can also aid Soul Masters in their training by increasing the cultivation speed of the Soul Master using it!"
Gu Ziyi nodded, directly revealing the hidden effect of his first soul skill.
"What?"
"Your soul skill can also help Soul Masters cultivate? Increase their training speed?"
Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Ayres immediately exclaimed.
He was genuinely shocked. Such a soul skill effect had never been seen in the records of the Martial Soul Hall!
