Bai Lu: "Of course I want to!"

**Chapter 79 Bai Lu: "Of course I want to!"**

Bai Lu then realized that Gu Ziyi wasn't there to mock her, and her beautiful face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

"Yes... of course I want to!"

Bai Lu quickly replied.

She fully acknowledged Gu Ziyi's wisdom. Since he mentioned he had an idea, it must be a good one that would help her.

"Then let me tell you!"

"Miss Bai Lu, I've noticed that so far you haven't been making the best use of your speed. Don't you know that speed can also be converted into power?"

"I see you always use your superior speed advantage to approach your opponents and then attack them!"

"Why not use your speed's acceleration power to attack directly?"

"You need to convert that speed into an attack, not just use it as a means to get closer to your target."

Seeing that Bai Lu was willing to listen, Gu Ziyi began speaking to her.

He first pointed out her attack style.

"No, our clan is too weak. If we attack the enemy directly as you say, we'll end up injuring ourselves from the impact."

Bai Lu had thought Gu Ziyi would offer better suggestions, but hadn't expected him to suggest this, and she immediately shook her head.

The Min Clan isn't foolish. Of course, they know they can take advantage of their speed, but the force impact is relative. The Min Clan's physique is too weak to withstand the recoil from the attack.

"…"

After hearing what Bai Lu said, Gu Ziyi realized that the Min Clan wasn't as foolish as he thought!

It turns out that their members' physical condition was too weak to handle such punishment.

"If that's the case, then all your clan needs to do is carry weapons. If you attack with weapons, when you encounter an enemy you can't cut through, all you'd need to do is drop the weapon to avoid severe recoil injuries."

Gu Ziyi quickly offered another suggestion to Bai Lu.

"Handheld weapons, those used by ordinary people?"

Upon hearing his suggestion, Bai Lu's expression clearly showed disapproval.

Her tone was filled with disdain for the idea.

"What's wrong with weapons used by ordinary people? Why wouldn't you use something that can increase your clan's combat effectiveness?"

Gu Ziyi was at a loss, seeing Bai Lu's reaction. This is also a common issue among the natives of Douluo Continent.

In their opinion, fighting solely using their Martial Soul is the proper way to fight.

They look down on using ordinary weapons, believing they're only for commoners.

In the original work, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Min Clan were willing to use Tang San's hidden weapons only because they were extraordinary and unavailable to commoners.

Bai Lu, who was initially a little disgusted by the idea, suddenly seemed surprised upon hearing Gu Ziyi's question.

'Yeah, why not use something that could increase the combat effectiveness of your clan?'

Bang bang bang—

Bai Lu's heartbeat quickened a bit, and she started to feel that what Gu Ziyi said made sense. Using weapons could indeed make the members of her clan stronger and their combat effectiveness better.

"You... why are you telling me this?"

Then Bai Lu was a little shocked. Gu Ziyi was from the Martial Soul Hall, and the Martial Soul Hall and the Haotian Sect were rivals. They were, in theory, enemies.

By telling her this, he was undoubtedly helping to strengthen the opposition.

"...Why don't you just pretend you didn't hear what I just said?"

Hearing her rhetorical question, Gu Ziyi finally realized what he had said and replied helplessly.

Only he didn't regret it. He might be able to win over the Min Clan in the future, one way or another!

Anyway, based on the letter Bai Lu sent him at that time, it was only fair to repay her kindness.

"Pfft~ How is that possible? At most, I'll pretend I didn't hear you, but afterward, I might just tell my clan when I get back."

"Besides, whether my clan members are willing to use weapons or not is still up for discussion!"

Bai Lu immediately smiled upon seeing Gu Ziyi's expression, her face unable to hide her joy.

However, she soon sighed again: "But in the Soul Master Competition, you can't use any external tools, so your method won't help me much right now!"

"Idiot, you can't use weapons or external tools, but can't you use your teammates' weapons instead?"

"Aren't there two teammates on your team who have weapon-type Martial Souls?"

"You could use their weapons to fight!"

Upon hearing her words, Gu Ziyi immediately replied, frustrated by her lack of insight.

This was actually the advice he originally planned to give Bai Lu. What he had said earlier was purely to illustrate his point.

He should have shared this method with Bai Lu directly. There was no need to mention that her Min Clan could use ordinary weapons in combat.

"Using my teammates' Martial Souls as weapons?"

Hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Bai Lu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

This method was beyond her expectations. She had never considered this possibility.

At first, she thought it sounded wild and extravagant. Aren't tool Martial Souls supposed to be wielded only by their own Soul Master?

But after careful thought, Bai Lu realized that this method was entirely feasible.

She couldn't even think of any objections that would prevent it from working.

At most, her teammates might be reluctant to cooperate.

However, it wasn't difficult to use a teammate's Martial Soul as a weapon.

"With your speed and a teammate's weapon-type Martial Soul, your combat effectiveness would certainly be far higher than it is now. You might even be able to defeat all the Soul Ancestors instantly, and you'd have very few opponents below the level of a Soul King."

"So, what do you think? Would that work?"

Seeing Bai Lu's shocked expression, Gu Ziyi proudly asked.

"It could work; of course, it could work!"

"Gu Ziyi, thank you for telling me this method!"

Bai Lu said excitedly.

Seeing Gu Ziyi's proud look, she didn't feel the slightest bit angry, but was instead extremely touched.

Smack~

Then, impulsively, Bai Lu did the same thing Tang Yuehua had done in her youth, standing on her tiptoes and kissing Gu Ziyi on the cheek.

"This— this is just a thank-you kiss. It's different from what my cousin did. Don't think too much about it..."

After the kiss, Bai Lu began explaining, blushing with embarrassment.

"I know, you're just really excited, right?!"

Gu Ziyi smiled slightly, his expression unchanged.

"…"

Hearing his words, Bai Lu, who should have felt relieved, felt inexplicably disappointed for some unknown reason.

"Well, I've given you my method. I'll be watching your performance in the arena from the audience!"

Sensing that the atmosphere had become a little strange, Gu Ziyi smiled amiably, said goodbye, and immediately left.

"...Phew!"

"Bai Lu, Bai Lu, you've learned from your cousin's past, so don't be so impulsive next time."

Watching Gu Ziyi's back disappear in the distance, Bai Lu quickly calmed herself down and reminded herself not to act so impulsively.
