Douluo: Starting with a self-created soul ring

**Chapter 8: Tang Yuehua?**

For half a month, Gu Ziyi had been selling talismans at the gate of the Soul Beast Forest.

Since the first day of sales, there had been no shortage of buyers for his talismans.

Two teams stationed there specifically to help others hunt Soul Beasts became the biggest buyers of the talismans. Every time they led a group, they bought Gu Ziyi's "Heart-Cleansing Curse Talisman."

The strong man from the first day who bought a talisman from Gu Ziyi was actually the captain of one of those teams.

The currency exchange in the Douluo Continent is simple: 1 soul gold coin equals 10 soul silver coins, and 10 soul silver coins equal 1,000 soul copper coins.

Selling ten talismans a day meant earning one soul gold coin.

Therefore, it only took Gu Ziyi ten days to earn enough to pay the academy's enrollment fee.

The speed at which money could be made this way was much better and faster than receiving the new Soul Master allowance issued by the Martial Soul Hall.

Even a high-ranking Soul Master can only receive 10 soul gold coins a month.

Gu Ziyi also understood that his Martial Soul was special, and that's why he had such a good opportunity. Other auxiliary Soul Masters did not make money so easily.

Auxiliary Soul Masters, especially those who could make items or food, had an easier time earning money compared to combat Soul Masters.

Ordinary combat Soul Masters had to honestly rely on the newcomer allowance as easy money, or they would have to find other ways to make a living.

However, after reaching level 30 as a Soul Master, the allowance they could receive increased to 100 soul gold coins, which was quite considerable but not substantial for a Soul Master.

If you still wanted to receive soul coin allowances after reaching level 40 as a Soul Master, you had to officially register as an imperial Soul Master. Only this way could you continue to receive more soul coin allowances, and you would also obtain a noble title canonized by the Empire in which the Soul Master resided. Though it was the lowest level of nobility, the Soul Master could be considered as having entered the aristocracy.

After registering as an imperial Soul Master, you are obliged to accept the Empire's agreements.

If you don't want to choose to be a Soul Master for either of the two Empires, you can also opt to register as a Soul Master under the Martial Soul Hall.

This was also the choice of most Soul Masters nowadays, as the Martial Soul Hall offered more freedom compared to the two Empires.

After Gu Ziyi earned enough for the registration fees, he didn't immediately go to register but continued to sell talismans.

Even if the money couldn't be used right away, he still needed to have some savings for spending or for emergencies.

Therefore, Gu Ziyi did not return to Tianbao Academy until the official enrollment day at the Soul Master Academy.

"Tianbao Academy, this is the academy. Just an ordinary one!"

"Cousin, let's go up and enroll!"

"All right!"

When Gu Ziyi arrived at the gate of Tianbao Academy, he encountered the two cousins, Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu.

Seeing the two beauties walking towards him, Gu Ziyi's eyes widened in recognition.

'Tang Yuehua and Bai Chenxiang?'

Gu Ziyi was genuinely stunned. He hadn't expected to see two people who looked so much like Tang Yuehua and Bai Chenxiang.

It turned out that the two women he saw were younger, cute, feminine, and around his age.

'One of them might be Tang Yuehua, but the other definitely isn't Bai Chenxiang!'

However, Gu Ziyi quickly realized that it hadn't yet been confirmed if the one who resembled Tang Yuehua was indeed her, but the other definitely wasn't Bai Chenxiang.

Because Bai Chenxiang was much younger than the Shrek Seven Devils and shouldn't even have been born yet!

And this girl who resembled Bai Chenxiang had a single ponytail, not twin tails.

Still, the resemblance was uncanny.

So, the woman who looked so much like Bai Chenxiang was likely a blood relative of hers, definitely.

She could even be Bai Chenxiang's mother or aunt.

"Puch~"

"Look, cousin, there's another fool here. He must be staring at you stupidly!"

Bai Lu, walking toward Gu Ziyi, immediately burst into laughter when she saw his expression and then whispered in Tang Yuehua's ear with a smile.

"I think he's staring at you…"

Tang Yuehua naturally dismissed the idea. After glancing at Gu Ziyi, she responded to Bai Lu in a soft voice.

"It must be you. I'm not as pretty as you…"

"There are no fewer people in the sect who like you than who like me!"

"…"

The two women teased each other, walked past Gu Ziyi, and headed to the admissions office.

Only after the two women passed by did Gu Ziyi come back to his senses.

He wasn't sure if he had made a fool of himself in front of the two girls, so he glanced at their retreating figures and quietly followed them to the admissions office.

After guessing that one of them might be Tang Yuehua, Gu Ziyi didn't stare at their backs but simply followed in silence.

The appearance of the two women still left him very curious to know if one of them was indeed Tang Yuehua.

'Tang Yuehua should be the same age as me, which fits perfectly with the timeline!'

'Tang Yuehua and Bai Chenxiang are relatives. Bai Chenxiang's grandfather is Tang Yuehua's uncle, so Tang Yuehua is Bai Chenxiang's cousin.'

'If the other woman is indeed related to Bai Chenxiang, then it's normal for these two to appear together!'

'One resemblance could be a coincidence. But two women looking so similar? That's unlikely to be a coincidence!'

Gu Ziyi thought silently to himself and was almost certain that one of the girls was the teenage Tang Yuehua.

As he followed the two women quietly, he couldn't help but feel a bit confused.

Although he didn't know why Tang Yuehua had shown up here, it was obvious she was also here to study.

Could he take the opportunity to get in touch with her?

Not necessarily to court Tang Yuehua, but at least to make friends.

It wouldn't hurt to befriend a woman with Tang Yuehua's status.

"Name, age, Martial Soul, and Soul Power Level!"

Soon, it was Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu's turn to register. The same teacher who had attended to Gu Ziyi last time spoke directly to the two girls.

"Cousin, I'll go first!"

After hearing what the admissions teacher said, Bai Lu took the lead and introduced herself.

"Bai Lu; 12 years old; Martial Soul - Needle-Tailed Swift; Battle Soul Master; Level 22!"

Bai Lu said as she pulled out her registration certificate from the Martial Soul Hall.

"12 years old and Level 22?"

"Okay, okay, you're welcome to join our Tianbao Academy. I'll help you with the admission procedures!"

The teacher was suddenly surprised to hear Bai Lu's introduction.

A 12-year-old at Level 22 was very rare at Tianbao Academy.

"No rush. My cousin and I came here together. I'll only enroll if she gets in too!"

Bai Lu wasn't in a hurry but pulled Tang Yuehua in front of the teacher and made her demand.

"No problem, I'll help your cousin with the admission procedures as well!"

The admissions teacher was a bit surprised to hear Bai Lu's words. After taking a look at Tang Yuehua, he agreed without hesitation.

No matter what Tang Yuehua's qualifications were, he felt she was worthy of her temperament.

Besides, as long as they could recruit Bai Lu, what difference would it make if they brought in another piece of "trash"?

"Hello, teacher, my name is Tang Yuehua; my Martial Soul is the Wishful Ring (Noble Ring or Ruyì Jiè), and I'm a Level 9 Battle Soul Master!"

Tang Yuehua also introduced herself after hearing the teacher approve Bai Lu's request.

When she mentioned her Soul Power Level, her voice softened a bit.

'It's definitely Tang Yuehua!'

No matter how softly Tang Yuehua spoke, Gu Ziyi, who was right behind the two girls, still heard her introduction, and his eyes suddenly lit up, confirming his suspicion.
