"Cousin..."

Seeing Tang Yuehua's expression, Bai Lu knew what her cousin wanted Gu Ziyi to help with.

She had originally wanted to stop her, but after opening her mouth, she ultimately said nothing.

She did not want to see Tang Yuehua disappointed again. But since Tang Yuehua had already spoken up, and Bai Lu herself had been somewhat won over by Gu Ziyi's intelligence, she thought it over and decided not to stop her.

"Gu Ziyi, if you can, I also ask that you do your best to help my cousin!"

In the end, Bai Lu instead earnestly pleaded with Gu Ziyi as well.

"Tell me what it is first!"

"As long as it's something I can help with, I definitely will!"

Gu Ziyi had some idea of what it might be, and he quickly agreed aloud.

"Gu Ziyi, my cousin and I are both from the Clear Sky Sect!"

Looking at Gu Ziyi, Bai Lu first directly revealed her and Tang Yuehua's origins.

"Mm. Actually, when I learned about your martial soul, I had already suspected it. I didn't expect you really were a soul master from the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated Speed Clan!"

Hearing Bai Lu's words, Gu Ziyi was only slightly surprised.

Then Gu Ziyi looked at Tang Yuehua with feigned astonishment. "What surprises me most is you. I never expected you, Tang Yuehua, to be from the Clear Sky Sect too. Your martial soul..."

"...And my level, right?"

Tang Yuehua smiled self-mockingly.

She was not too surprised that Gu Ziyi had been able to identify Bai Lu's background so directly.

She knew that Gu Ziyi placed great importance on absorbing knowledge. It was perfectly normal for him to know some information about the major sects of Douluo Continent.

"Gu Ziyi, do you know what my Innate Soul Power was?"

Rather than immediately state her problem, Tang Yuehua first asked Gu Ziyi to guess her Innate Soul Power Level.

That way, she could go on to explain her inability to cultivate.

"Your Innate Soul Power?"

"Since you're from the Clear Sky Sect, but your martial soul isn't the Clear Sky Hammer and is instead a Ruyi Ring, then it must have undergone a martial soul mutation!"

"Your Soul Power Level is still only level 9, which proves your mutation changed in a bad direction."

"So your Innate Soul Power shouldn't have been high..."

"This is easy to guess, yet you deliberately asked me. Then perhaps the situation is the opposite..."

"But that shouldn't be possible either. If your Innate Soul Power was very high, you couldn't possibly still be only level 9..."

Hearing Tang Yuehua's question, Gu Ziyi immediately began to guess with a smile. Yet as he analyzed the matter, he became conflicted, wearing an expression as though he found it difficult to judge.

Gu Ziyi did not directly state Tang Yuehua's Innate Soul Power Level, merely showing his doubts through his attitude.

"My Innate Soul Power was level 9!"

Although Gu Ziyi had not guessed it, his speculation and analysis still made Tang Yuehua admire him. Without waiting for him to continue guessing, she directly revealed the truth.

"Really?"

"How is that possible?"

Gu Ziyi immediately put on an incredulous expression.

"It's true..."

Seeing Gu Ziyi's shocked expression, Tang Yuehua smiled slightly. It was rare to see such an expression on his face.

"Although my Innate Soul Power was very high, I couldn't cultivate!"

"Just as you said, my mutated martial soul changed in a bad direction!"

Tang Yuehua then explained her problem.

"You want me to help you find out why you can't cultivate?"

Hearing Tang Yuehua say this, Gu Ziyi immediately asked in return.

The moment Tang Yuehua mentioned her martial soul, Gu Ziyi had known what she wanted his help with.

Ever since meeting Tang Yuehua, Gu Ziyi had actually considered the issue of her inability to cultivate and had been curious about its cause.

But Gu Ziyi could not possibly take the initiative to ask Tang Yuehua about it.

Now, his curiosity could finally be satisfied.

And if possible, Gu Ziyi also hoped he could help Tang Yuehua discover why she was unable to cultivate.

"Yes. You're so smart—I want you to help me analyze it and see whether you can find where the problem lies!"

Hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Tang Yuehua immediately clasped her hands tightly and looked at him with eager anticipation.

"No problem. Tell me carefully about your martial soul and exactly why you can't cultivate. I'll help you analyze it..."

Bai Lu, watching from the side, could not help but marvel. Gu Ziyi really dared to say anything.

Knowing full well that they were from the Number One Sect Under Heaven, the Haotian Sect, even if they had not yet revealed Tang Yuehua's identity as the Haotian Sect Master's daughter, he surely knew what her level 9 Innate Soul Power meant within the sect.

It meant that the Haotian Sect had certainly valued her and had certainly tried to find the problem for her. The result was obvious: even the Haotian Sect had no solution.

She knew Gu Ziyi must have considered this, yet he still dared to say such things. She did not know whether to call it confidence or arrogance.

"Mm!"

Hearing Gu Ziyi agree, Tang Yuehua immediately broke into a sweet smile.

The more confident Gu Ziyi was, the more she looked forward to it.

Tang Yuehua then explained in detail why she was unable to cultivate.

It was not particularly complicated. The first step in cultivating soul power was to sense one's own martial soul, then unite one's consciousness with it through Human-Soul Fusion, and finally circulate a meditation technique to cultivate.

However, Tang Yuehua's problem was that she had never been able to unite her consciousness with her martial soul through Human-Soul Fusion. She could not even accomplish the first step.

Cultivating an Advanced Meditation Technique also required Human-Soul Fusion as a prerequisite.

Without being able to achieve Human-Soul Fusion, merely circulating one's own soul power would not allow one to absorb energy from the outside world. Naturally, there was no way to improve.

Tang Yuehua had tried many Advanced Meditation Techniques, hoping one might help her enter the state of Human-Soul Fusion, but every attempt had failed.

It was still because their cultivation methods were too backward!

Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill could be cultivated even before Awakening Martial Soul. It was merely limited by this world's rules and would still be held back by one's martial soul!

If Tang Yuehua had an internal cultivation method similar to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, her problem would naturally be solved!

After listening to Tang Yuehua's account, the first thing Gu Ziyi thought of was the Mysterious Heaven Skill Tang San cultivated.

However, Gu Ziyi did not actually know any internal cultivation methods, so he naturally had no way to use one to solve Tang Yuehua's cultivation problem.

Therefore, if Gu Ziyi wanted to help Tang Yuehua, he could only find out why she was unable to achieve Human-Soul Fusion.

Based on the Martial Soul Knowledge Gu Ziyi had gained over the years, a case like Tang Yuehua's had never appeared anywhere on Douluo Continent.

Noble Ring!

Innate Domain!

Very quickly, Gu Ziyi thought of another distinctive trait Tang Yuehua possessed.

Her Innate Domain had likewise never appeared before on Douluo Continent.
