**Chapter 82 Bibi Dong is Jealous**
"Hahaha!"
"Good, you are truly amazing, my daughter!"
"Your feat has brought pride to our Min Clan!"
Haotian Sect, Min Clan area.
When Bai He received information about the Soul Masters Competition, he laughed out loud after confirming it several times.
He did not expect his daughter to truly stand out during this Soul Masters Competition, bringing the Min Clan well-deserved prestige.
"By using her teammate's Martial Soul as a weapon, our clan can perfectly utilize its speed advantage for combat…"
Bai He carefully reviewed the intelligence report, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.
This type of move, which had never been implemented before, gave him hope for the rise of their Min Clan.
It would certainly not change their clan's tradition of absorbing Soul Rings only from the 'Needle-Tailed Swallow' Soul Beasts.
Their clan exclusively holds Soul Masters with the Needle-Tailed Swallow Martial Soul, and they hunt these beasts to acquire their Soul Rings, as it is the fastest Soul Beast in existence.
While they maintain this tradition, it would greatly benefit the clan if they could also improve combat efficiency.
It's not that they don't know wielding weapons could help improve combat effectiveness; they simply don't want to use weapons common people use. No Soul Master in their world uses ordinary people's weapons, as it would stain their honor.
Moreover, the lethality of common people's weapons is limited. When encountering stronger Soul Masters, these weapons cannot break their defenses, which would be embarrassing to use in battle.
Unless there's enough destructive power to kill a Level 30 Soul Master, their Min Clan certainly wouldn't be able to justify widespread use of such tools, nor could they afford to lose members.
However, his daughter's use of her teammate's Martial Soul, a tool Martial Soul as a weapon, gave him a brand-new path to follow.
Yes, common people's weapons are too weak, so why not simply use tool Martial Souls as weapons from Soul Masters who possess them?
If he could find a family with this type of Martial Soul for cooperation, it would be ideal.
"Not very realistic…"
"As long as they are effectively a combat Soul Master, no one would be willing to act merely as a tool; otherwise, I could find a clan to collaborate with!"
However, Bai He quickly shook his head. He could barely imagine how furious Yang Wudi, chief of the Breaking Clan, would be if he brought this idea to him. (N/E: They possess the Soul Destroying Spear.)
Besides, the Haotian Sect would likely not be willing, either.
The Min Clan's role within the Haotian Sect is to gather information and act as scouts in the battlefield. Other affiliated families handle the battles, and, of course, the Haotian Sect itself is not merely decoration.
"Sigh—"
"Forget it. At least we know a way to enhance our clan's combat efficiency!"
Finally, Bai He sighed and stopped thinking about it.
…
A few days after the match, everyone learned that Bai Lu and her teammate Shasha were not using real Martial Soul fusion skills.
People knowledgeable in the matter spread the truth.
All who knew were shocked. They did not expect the truth to be like this.
Even though the two did not use Martial Soul fusion skills, more and more spectators enjoyed watching their matches.
Martial Soul fusion skills are uncommon, so Bai Lu's combat style of using her teammate's tool-type Martial Soul as a weapon is even less common!
In particular, Bai Lu's battle scenes, where she takes her speed to the extreme, are simply too cool to watch.
Therefore, she didn't lose the audience's attention because the truth came out; on the contrary, even more viewers enjoyed watching her matches.
In the Soul Masters Competition, other teams even tried to imitate Bai Lu's fighting style.
However, the effect achieved was far from what they expected. Not only did it not improve the team's combat effectiveness, but it also reduced the number of combat-ready opponents.
Only then did everyone realize that Bai Lu's fighting style was not suitable for everyone. The perfect fit was for Soul Masters like Bai Lu, who only possessed the agility attribute and no offensive soul skills.
However, in the end, Bai Lu's team still lost the qualifying round and was eliminated.
This didn't matter much to Bai Lu, though; she was quite satisfied with her results.
In this Soul Masters Competition, she stole the spotlight for herself.
"I really envy her. Even though she lost the competition, many people will still remember her name!"
Bibi Dong said with a hint of envy after watching Bai Lu's last match.
It would be a while before she could have her first match in this competition.
While speaking, she looked at Gu Ziyi with a slightly sour tone: "Little brother, you're so biased. Among your two former classmates, you helped one solve her problem of being unable to cultivate, and for the other, you gave her such a clever trick that allowed her to steal the competition's spotlight! As for me, your older sister, you still haven't given me any advice that helped me improve this much!"
"…"
When Bibi Dong mentioned this, Gu Ziyi felt embarrassed.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he grew confident: "No, elder sister's training is already the best it can be. Everything was organized by the teacher for you, so why would you need any advice from me?!"
"Haven't I already helped you? Haven't you been learning quickly over the past years with the help of my soul skill?"
This is also the real reason why Gu Ziyi hadn't given Bibi Dong any advice.
He had some ideas on how he could strengthen her.
It's like how she could better use her twin Martial Souls. In the original work, Bibi Dong was able to perfectly switch between her two Martial Souls. However, every time she used a soul skill, she could only use the soul skill of one of her Martial Souls.
If she could use the soul skills of both Martial Souls simultaneously, or even develop her own Martial Soul fusion skills, the enhancement she would receive would not be small.
However, Bibi Dong cannot use this advice right now.
Since she hasn't started cultivating her second Martial Soul yet, it's too early for her to achieve this feat.
But it's not impossible for her to learn from an early stage how to control her twin Martial Souls simultaneously.
Then it will be easier to further develop this control.
"But I have an idea of what your future training should aim for!"
After thinking about it, Gu Ziyi spoke to Bibi Dong.
"What do you think? Little brother, please tell me soon!"
Upon hearing that Gu Ziyi indeed had an idea for her, Bibi Dong excitedly grabbed his arm and urged him on.
"Well…"
Gu Ziyi immediately told Bibi Dong what he thought she could start working on.
Actually, it's not a solution; it merely points out a direction for her cultivation.
"I could even use Martial Soul fusion skills by myself…"
Even though it was only an idea, Bibi Dong's eyes instantly brightened, as she had never thought a person could use Martial Soul fusion skills alone.
Martial Soul fusion skills typically require Martial Souls that complement each other, as well as two or more people who think similarly, in addition to mutual trust, before they can use this skill.
Especially the part about being connected and trusting each other, which is the hardest to achieve.
However, this isn't an issue for her since she is alone.
"Then how can I use my two Martial Souls simultaneously?"
Bibi Dong quickly understood the difficulty and asked Gu Ziyi about this issue.
"You'll have to figure out the way on your own!"
"The most important thing is to find ways to control your mind!"
Gu Ziyi replied.
For tool Martial Souls, it would be much easier to use two Martial Souls simultaneously or use one tool Martial Soul and one beast Martial Soul, but when both Martial Souls are of the beast type, it's much harder to achieve this.
Since it requires her Martial Souls to possess the Soul Master's body.
To have both Martial Souls possess her body at the same time, Bibi Dong truly had to figure out how to accomplish this on her own.
