Soul Master Certification

**Chapter 5 Soul Master Certification**

If combined with some auxiliary soul skills that can make people go berserk, the effect of one plus one will be much greater than two.

For example, if the berserk-type soul skills used by the Berserker Team in the anime were combined with Gu Ziyi's Heart Purifying Curse, the recipient could gain powerful explosive strength while remaining awake and calm, which would be terrifying.

This type of extreme soul skill is rarely chosen by auxiliary Soul Masters under normal circumstances, because it's uncontrollable and can easily turn an ally into an enemy in the blink of an eye.

As for auxiliary soul skills, like the Heart Purifying Curse, it seems that they have never appeared before.

At least there is no public knowledge of such a soul skill from the research Gu Ziyi has done so far. Some combat-type Soul Masters may have similar effects, but auxiliary Soul Masters do not appear to possess such abilities.

Therefore, with just the Heart Purifying Curse, Gu Ziyi's Martial Soul has great potential and is something worth cultivating.

If Gu Ziyi is willing, he is already qualified to choose to join any force, or almost any.

"If I want to join a faction, which one is the best to choose?"

Gu Ziyi, who was in the state of the Heart Purifying Curse, or a Mantra of sorts, immediately began to contemplate the matter.

There's no issue in becoming a subordinate due to some kind of pride from being reincarnated, because joining a force is undoubtedly the best choice for Gu Ziyi.

Abundant resources can help Gu Ziyi grow faster!

"In fact, there is much to choose from, whether it's the top three sects or the lower four sects, there are also the two major empires and the Martial Soul Hall..."

"What kind of resources one can obtain depends on how much they value what you have to offer, both now and in the future!"

"If they only treat me as a common auxiliary Soul Master, then there's nothing to say!"

"And the Mantra isn't particularly precious in the eyes of these powers. It's more important for low-level Soul Masters, but it's not that important for powerful Soul Masters, because powerful Soul Masters generally have stronger-than-average mental resilience."

"If I only have the Heart Purifying Curse soul skill, it's not enough for them to pay much attention!"

"It's better not to worry about these things for now. After all, for Soul Master cultivation, the most important resource is the Soul Ring!"

"Soul Masters who join a force can get better help in hunting Soul Rings. Besides, they can also get medicines and money to develop their physical bodies!"

"I don't need a Soul Ring though, I can create it myself due to my discovery!"

"So, it's actually fine for me to practice alone!"

"We'll talk about the rest later!"

After thinking for a while, Gu Ziyi temporarily gave up the idea of joining a faction.

…

The next day, Gu Ziyi went to the Martial Soul Hall branch in Liusha City for Soul Master certification and registration.

"Name…"

"Age…"

"Also, what is your Martial Soul…"

"…"

Gu Ziyi answered the questions of the Martial Soul Hall branch registration staff.

Before that, he had already summoned his Martial Soul and Soul Ring in front of the staff, proving that he had indeed surpassed Level 11 and had attached a Soul Ring, becoming a true Soul Master.

That's right, after condensing the Soul Ring, Gu Ziyi's level successfully reached Level 11.

After being certified and registered in the Martial Soul Hall, Gu Ziyi could receive a new member allowance of one gold soul coin from the Martial Soul Hall every month.

This is very important for Gu Ziyi because, with the allowance, he no longer has to continue working at the school while studying.

"Okay, here is your Soul Master badge!"

"With it, you can go to the external window to receive your monthly newcomer allowance. I hope you can use the allowance well to practice diligently, make your own contribution to the continent in the future, and become a responsible and useful Soul Master!"

The registration staff finally handed over the completed Soul Master badge to Gu Ziyi, with his information engraved on it.

"Okay, thank you!"

Gu Ziyi received the Soul Master badge and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

No matter who issued this newcomer allowance, it was of great help to him.

After junior Soul Masters graduate, there are no longer working students (as in junior academies) at intermediate Soul Master academies, so they will need to pay their own tuition.

And the tuition is not cheap.

However, as long as he completes Soul Master registration at the Martial Soul Hall, the newcomer allowance he receives will be enough for Gu Ziyi to register at an intermediate Soul Master academy.

After leaving the certification office, Gu Ziyi immediately went to collect this month's allowance with his badge.

After returning to Liusha Academy, he also declined the work arranged for him as a working student.

"Why do you suddenly want to decline the work the school assigned to you?"

The teacher naturally asked Gu Ziyi with concern.

"Teacher, because I've reached Level 10 and absorbed my first Soul Ring, I also completed my certification registration at the Martial Soul Hall!"

Gu Ziyi then summoned his Martial Soul while speaking.

"Okay, okay, you finally surpassed Level 10!"

"I didn't expect you to be so fast and even already have a Soul Ring!"

The teacher was naturally very happy when he saw this and repeatedly congratulated Gu Ziyi on his achievement.

"Thanks to the academy and the teachers' guidance, I was able to become a Soul Master!"

Gu Ziyi said with a smile.

"This is also the result of your own efforts. Is your Martial Soul a combat-type or auxiliary-type soul?"

The teacher smiled even more, hearing the comment, and asked Gu Ziyi curiously about his Martial Soul.

Because he also believed that Gu Ziyi's Martial Soul was a mutation of the Paper Martial Soul, which had never appeared before, he did not know the classification of Gu Ziyi's Martial Soul.

In terms of animal Martial Souls, they all show their inclination at the beginning of Martial Soul awakening, while tool Martial Souls need to be observed by the effects of their soul skills.

It should be an auxiliary-type Martial Soul. My first soul skill is to summon the 'Heart Purifying Curse Talisman'. Its effect is that it can relieve mental abnormality and at the same time provide immunity to mental soul skill attacks during the period when the Talisman is activated!"

Gu Ziyi thought for a moment and then answered.

It is possible to understand the Mantra in this way. This is also an incidental effect of the Mantra, so the Mantra is still very strong in itself.

And Gu Ziyi didn't say anything about the duration because the duration of the Heart Purifying Curse Talisman he summons isn't fixed, it all depends on his proficiency and how much soul power he injects into the skill.

This is probably the characteristic of soul skills born from self-condensed Soul Rings. You can use your own soul skills with much more freedom.

"It's actually an auxiliary type!"

"The Heart Purifying Curse Talisman is a soul skill similar to detoxification?"

The teacher was a little surprised to hear this. These types of soul skills are still rare. In any case, they can be said to be quite valuable.

They simply don't seem to be used frequently!

But that doesn't matter much.

The important thing is that Gu Ziyi successfully became a Soul Master, and the academy will have another Soul Master graduate in its record.

This is an honor that belongs to the entire school!

"Work hard, Gu Ziyi, I believe you will become a powerful auxiliary-type Soul Master in the future!"

The teacher finally encouraged him.

"Yes, teacher, I will work hard to make Liusha Academy proud of me!"

Gu Ziyi also said something nice; who doesn't know how to flatter a little?

"Okay, the teacher looks forward to that!"
