**Chapter 97: Are There Any Requirements to Marry Gu Ziyi?**
He noticed that everyone who had been somewhat dirty after the battle suddenly found both the dust and blood on their bodies disappearing after his talisman took effect.
Not only that, but their clothes were now as clean as if they were brand new!
Suddenly, the entire Martial Soul Hall Team no longer looked like they had just finished a match. They appeared clean and impeccably neat before the audience.
"Wow~"
"What kind of soul skill is that?"
"What kind of soul skill has this kind of effect? I want a soul skill like that too..."
Everyone was amazed, finding it novel that Gu Ziyi possessed this kind of soul skill.
However, the female audience members had a different perspective. Their eyes sparkled, and they showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the soul skill he had displayed.
This soul skill was magical in their eyes!
What girl wouldn't love being clean and tidy at all times?
Many girls were too lazy to spend hours getting ready. For them, having Gu Ziyi's soul skill would be fantastic.
If they couldn't have the soul skill, the second-best option was to have Gu Ziyi himself!
"Gu Ziyi is so handsome!"
"Yes, it would be amazing if I could marry him!"
"What are the requirements to marry him?"
"..."
The last statement wasn't shameless—it was just that Gu Ziyi was truly handsome. Additionally, being a disciple of the Pope added even more appeal to him.
Many female Soul Masters were considering proposing marriage to him.
After discovering that Gu Ziyi had this kind of soul skill, their thoughts grew even stronger than before.
Of course, they also knew this was just a fantasy. They understood it wouldn't be so easy to gain his favor and marry him.
"If this flashy soul skill only has this effect, it's truly ridiculous. A soul skill would then be wasted and only take up space for a powerful skill!"
"Brother, what do you think?"
Tang Hao, in the audience, curled his lips in disdain upon seeing Gu Ziyi's soul skill.
"Well, if that's all, then his second soul skill really was wasted, as you said!"
Tang Xiao nodded in agreement with his younger brother. This time, he also attended the competition as a spectator.
He came to watch his younger brother win the championship!
"But this boy isn't that foolish. If it only had this effect, he wouldn't use it at this moment, right after his match ended."
"He's probably using it now to confuse his other opponents and make them underestimate his second soul skill. Perhaps his second soul skill has other special effects that he hasn't shown yet!"
Tang Xiao shifted the topic, quickly reminding Tang Hao of Gu Ziyi's cunning nature.
"Hmph, that sly guy—that's exactly the kind of trick he would pull!"
Tang Hao snorted upon hearing his older brother and continued disdainfully, "But even if his skill has other effects, it's only his second Soul Ring and one of his initial soul skills!"
"That's true!"
Tang Xiao also nodded in agreement.
Watching Gu Ziyi walk out of the ring, Tang Xiao appeared calm but still felt a tinge of regret in his heart.
At that time, he should have been more ruthless and killed the boy after taking his sister away.
Now that Gu Ziyi had become a disciple of the Martial Soul Hall's Pope and was performing so well, he feared Tang Yuehua wouldn't let go of the boy.
If he had remained a Soul Master unable to rise, there would have been no need to do anything—Tang Yuehua would eventually forget Gu Ziyi.
But that was no longer possible. His sister would inevitably think of him, regret her decision, and might even blame Tang Xiao for separating them in the first place.
This was why Tang Xiao regretted not directly eliminating him back then.
After the Golden Generation Team's match ended, the second game of the second round began immediately.
Sixteen teams participated in eight matches, about half the number from the first round, but the time taken wasn't much different.
Since the remaining teams were relatively strong, the battles inevitably took longer.
When all the matches concluded, two of the top-seeded teams during the promotion round were eliminated. The eight remaining teams, including the Haotian Team, drew lots again for the next round.
The drawing results came out quickly.
The Martial Soul Hall Team was set to face the Royal Tiandou Team—two of the top three teams would finally face each other.
Meanwhile, the Starluo Empire Team was lucky enough to narrowly avoid facing the Haotian Team, the favorite to win the championship.
After the draw, all the teams dispersed.
After a day of rest, the third round would be held the day after tomorrow.
…
Haotian Sect
"Bai He, how's the situation?"
"Will the Pope's disciple also participate in this Soul Master Competition?"
"Are there other teams that might threaten Hao'er's victory?"
Tang Wei, the leader of the Haotian Sect, asked his brother-in-law Bai He.
"Yes, brother-in-law! The twin Martial Soul wielder named Bibi Dong is participating in this Soul Master Competition!"
"As for the other teams participating, they basically pose no threat to Hao'er!"
Bai He quickly answered, reporting the information he had received earlier.
"Indeed, that Pope asked his disciple to participate in this competition!"
"But naturally, since she's already reached the Soul King level at such a young age, it makes sense for him to let her participate!"
Tang Wei wasn't surprised to hear this. If he had such a talented disciple, he would also have her participate without worry.
"Brother-in-law, besides Bibi Dong, the Pope's other disciple is also participating in this Soul Master Competition!"
Bai He looked at Tang Wei and shared another piece of news.
Upon learning this, Bai He himself had been very surprised.
He hadn't expected Gu Ziyi, who was undervalued by the Haotian Sect years ago for his close relationship with Tang Yuehua, to now have reached the Soul Ancestor level.
He was even stronger than Bai He's own daughter, Bai Lu!
"Is it that guy named Gu Ziyi?"
Tang Wei asked incredulously.
"Yes, brother-in-law, he's now a Soul Ancestor with a Level 40 Soul Power!"
Bai He nodded, relaying the information he knew about Gu Ziyi.
"Indeed, there was a reason why the Pope took a liking to him in the first place!"
"There must be a hidden secret about him!"
"It's a pity he chose the Martial Soul Hall."
"At that time..."
Tang Wei snorted. Although a bit surprised, it was within his expectations.
He didn't believe a Soul Master with such mediocre qualifications would truly be accepted as the Pope's personal disciple.
He also regretted not dealing with the boy directly.
Now, if his daughter hadn't moved past her feelings for him, this could indeed become a future problem.
"It seems it's time to find a talented match for my daughter!"
Tang Yuehua's auxiliary Martial Soul, which is even better than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, must be preserved for the future generations of the Haotian Sect.
"In the blink of an eye, all my children have grown up!"
"Xiao'er is already 38 years old, but he's still unmarried. I was the one who held him back during his prime years!"
Thinking about Tang Yuehua, he also thought of his eldest son, Tang Xiao. His heart stirred slightly, and he sighed, sharing his regret with Bai He.
"Yes, Xiao'er is 38 this year! Xiao'er has carried many burdens for you over the years, brother-in-law."
Bai He also sighed.
"Bai He, isn't Lu Lu already 19 this year?"
Tang Wei suddenly shifted the topic, asking about Bai He's daughter's age.
Bai He was taken aback by the question, then looked at his brother-in-law and said, "Brother-in-law, if Xiao'er wishes, I can decide to marry Lu Lu to him! For Lu Lu to marry Xiao'er would be a blessing for her!"
"Haha, there's no need to rush. You should still ask for Lu Lu's opinion on matters like these!"
Tang Wei smiled faintly.
"Yes, brother-in-law, but I believe Lu Lu would surely be willing!"

N/E:Sorry for the delay in posting the chapters, today I went out with my mother to do the monthly shopping and I helped her put away some clothes that had been washed a long time ago, a very busy and tiring day.
