**Chapter 48: Soul Ring Enhancement**
"Because my talent is very poor, far below average!"
"So I know very well that if I practice step by step like others, my future will be almost doomed, and I will never be able to surpass level 30!"
"So I thought of trying another path."
"I've always liked studying Martial Soul knowledge and wondered if I could find other ways to bypass my future bottleneck!"
Gu Ziyi explained calmly.
This was indeed what he originally thought. And if the results were worse?
They were already that good, so why not aim for something even better?
After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Daoliu and the other two fell silent.
Only now did they realize that Gu Ziyi wanted to find another path because his talent was so poor.
They don't quite understand this feeling. After all, their talents have always been excellent.
However, they could understand why Gu Ziyi made this choice and why he was so interested in exploring and researching Martial Soul knowledge.
A trace of distress involuntarily appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes. It turns out that her younger brother had always been worried about his own talent!
"What is the difference between a self-condensed Soul Ring and one obtained by hunting a Soul Beast?"
After Qian Daoliu was silent for a while, he immediately changed his question.
"The soul skills generated by the self-condensed Soul Ring are easier to master. You can also improve or weaken the effect of these soul skills at will. The higher my Soul Power level, the more I can enhance the effects of the soul skills I possess!"
"And I've compared it with many of my former classmates, all of whom also had their first soul skill. The Soul Power consumed by the self-condensed Soul Ring to perform the soul skill is much less!"
Gu Ziyi first mentioned two advantages of his self-condensed Soul Rings.
Easier to control and less costly.
"However, these are not the most precious aspects of this method!"
After Gu Ziyi finished talking about the first two benefits of the self-condensed Soul Ring, he also made a point.
"Oh?"
"What is this other benefit you speak of?"
Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed, guessing that it must be something significant for Gu Ziyi to explicitly highlight it.
"Great Priest, teacher, and elder sister!"
"Wait a moment, and you'll see for yourselves later."
Gu Ziyi did not answer immediately but kept the mystery for the moment.
After this, he began to meditate right in front of them.
Although they didn't know why Gu Ziyi started cultivating now, Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji naturally wouldn't interrupt him.
Bibi Dong also watched with curiosity as her younger brother practiced and waited.
At this moment, Gu Ziyi was completely immersed in cultivation.
It turned out that this time, his purpose was not simply to cultivate his Soul Power, but to improve the quality of his Soul Ring.
It had been a week since his first Soul Ring had reached the limit of its decades-long cultivation quality and was on the threshold of upgrading to a century-old ring.
However, at that time, Gu Ziyi did not want to reveal that he could enhance the quality of his Soul Ring, so he had temporarily suppressed the energy intake of his first Soul Ring, and thus he took the initiative to halt its evolution.
Now, he no longer needed to hide and could upgrade it in front of Qian Daoliu and the other two, allowing them to witness it firsthand.
Let them see the enhancement of his self-condensed Soul Ring with their own eyes.
Once he was immersed in cultivation, without Gu Ziyi actively restricting it, energy flowed freely into his first Soul Ring every time he circulated his Soul Power.
Over and over, round after round.
Buzz—
Finally, half an hour after he began, his Soul Ring surpassed the limit it had lacked before, a dazzling white light blossomed intensely, and a charming yellow began to replace the white.
Eventually, after a short period, the white light emitted by the first Soul Ring was completely replaced by yellow light.
Thus, Gu Ziyi's first Soul Ring successfully evolved into a century-old yellow Soul Ring.
Fwosh—
After the successful upgrade, Gu Ziyi immediately stopped practicing.
"Great Priest and teacher, take a look!"
After this, he stood up and summoned his Martial Soul along with his Soul Rings.
Buzz—
The familiar Martial Soul appeared before Qian Daoliu and the other two, but the two Soul Rings that followed made their eyes widen in surprise.
"Two century-old Soul Rings?"
"Yellow?"
"How is this possible..."
Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong exclaimed. Although Qian Daoliu did not exclaim with them, the shock in his eyes was no less than theirs.
"Yes, my first Soul Ring is now also a century-old ring, just like my second!"
"This is the most precious thing about the self-condensed Soul Ring: the quality of the Soul Ring can be improved with continuous practice!"
Seeing the surprised looks on all three of them, Gu Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little pleased and then explained to them.
"Improve the Soul Ring..."
"It can actually improve the quality of the Soul Ring..."
"Isn't that incredible?"
After hearing what Gu Ziyi said, Qian Xunji was extremely excited. This was a major matter.
Indeed, there are people in the world of Soul Masters who have improved the quality of their Soul Rings due to fortuitous encounters, but it had never happened that the quality of their Soul Rings could be improved through their own cultivation.
"It's amazing!"
Bibi Dong's eyes were full of stars at this moment.
"Why does this happen? If the self-condensed Soul Ring can improve its quality, why was this method discarded in the past?"
Qian Daoliu was also very shocked, but after the shock, he quickly thought of the puzzle of why this method had been abandoned.
"It's because of advanced meditation techniques!"
"The self-condensed Soul Ring can only improve its quality if it is combined with some advanced meditation technique, otherwise, it doesn't work!"
"And in ancient times, when the method of self-condensing Soul Rings was still widely used, advanced meditation techniques had not yet been created!"
Gu Ziyi said with a smile.
"Yes, no wonder you asked me when advanced meditation techniques first appeared..."
"I understand, so the self-condensed Soul Ring requires the help of advanced meditation techniques..."
After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Xunji suddenly remembered that he had also asked about when advanced meditation techniques emerged during his first class.
"I see!"
Qian Daoliu nodded, finally understanding the puzzle.
If this was the case, it made sense that it had been abandoned!
For a moment, Qian Daoliu was a little conflicted. The fact that the self-condensed Soul Ring could actually improve its quality through cultivation was such a huge discovery that he didn't know how to handle it for a moment.
Gradually, Qian Daoliu's eyes calmed down.
"Xiaoyi, carefully tell me more about your discoveries regarding the self-condensed Soul Ring!"
"Also, how do you think our Martial Soul Hall should handle the emergence of this discovery?"
Qian Daoliu also changed the way he addressed Gu Ziyi. He first needed to learn more about his self-condensed Soul Ring before taking any steps regarding this revolutionary discovery.
And he didn't forget about Gu Ziyi's intelligence. Gu Ziyi must have thought about the impact this discovery would have on the world of Soul Masters in the years to come, so Qian Daoliu was also prepared to let him share his thoughts on the matter.
"Alright, Great Priest!"
"In fact, self-condensed Soul Rings are not suitable for all Soul Masters..."
