Douluo Continent: Becoming a God of Magic Starting with Your Martial Soul

Shrek Academy.

A light mist hangs over the vast lake, and an island sits in the center of the lake.

Towering golden trees rise from the island, their dense canopies blocking out the sun and covering the entire island.

The vibrant green leaves, brimming with life, emitted a faint golden glow. On the thick, dark golden trunk, a three-story pavilion had been carved out by hand. This was the Sea God Pavilion, the highest decision-making body of Shrek Academy.

At this moment, in a quaint little house inside the pavilion, a woman lay unconscious on a hospital bed, with two elderly men standing on either side.

One of the old men, who looked disheveled, was Xuanzi, who had brought Zhang Lexuan and the sacrificed disciple back to the academy.

When news of the incident reached the Sea God Pavilion, even the usually composed Elder Mu was unusually angry.

Now he places all his hopes on the old man opposite him, hoping that Le Xuan will get better.

Another old man was dressed in a clean, plain-colored robe. His beard and hair were meticulously groomed. Nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, surrounded his body, and several lush green vines spread from his body to Zhang Lexuan's body.

A gentle vitality emanated from it, further enhancing the already abundant vitality of the room.

But after a while, he withdrew the vines.

Xuanzi was immediately puzzled upon seeing this and asked anxiously, "Elder Zhuang, why did you stop?"

The old man, known as Elder Zhuang, put away the spirit ring and sighed deeply: "Le Xuan's injuries are not serious. She has almost recovered after absorbing the spirit ring. Her problem lies in the damage to her martial spirit origin and soul, and recovery will take time."

Hearing that her injuries weren't serious, Xuanzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but that wasn't his biggest concern right now: "How long will it take for her to wake up, and will it affect her future potential?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuang shook his head: "It's hard to say, but since Le Xuan was able to withstand the soul shock of a 100,000-year soul ring, I think with her willpower, she will recover, but—"

Xuanzi's heart leaped into his throat: "But what?"

"Even if she wakes up immediately, she'll have to stay in bed for a while. Based on my guess, to avoid any lasting effects, it could take anywhere from several months to several years." Old Zhuang spoke with regret, his tone turning serious: "Xuanzi, I'm not trying to be mean, but all these children in the academy are precious gems. How could this Soul Hunt have turned out so disastrous?"

As the only healing-type Super Douluo in the Sea God Pavilion, he always spoke directly. Even though Xuanzi held a prestigious position, he did not hide his reproach in his tone after Xuanzi made such a big mistake.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xuanzi's spirits sank again, and he didn't argue: "The responsibility for this incident lies entirely with me. I will submit my application to resign from my position as the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion in a moment. I will also take full responsibility for the compensation. I will never tarnish the reputation of the academy!"

"No need to tell me this, it's your business!" Old Zhuang replied indifferently, then turned and left.

……

Shrek Academy's annual new student registration has begun.

At this time of year, the large open space outside the East Gate is always bustling with people, and all kinds of stalls can stretch for miles. The stall owners are trying their best to hawk their wares to the well-dressed students, hoping to make a fortune during this time.

"Phew~ I'm finally back!" Tang Ya squeezed through the dense crowd and stood at the entrance.

She took a deep breath of the moist air blowing from the surface of Poseidon Lake, stretched her slender waist, and hummed comfortably.

Turning around, she excitedly greeted Huo Yuhao, who was also travel-worn, and pulled him quickly into the academy, eagerly introducing it to him.

Over the past few days, she has come to absolutely adore Huo Yuhao's grilled fish.

The senior students in the inner academy were very generous, earning more than a dozen gold soul coins in just two days. This showed her a path to wealth, and taking this disciple was definitely the best decision she ever made.

She has already made plans. Once she completes her upgrade assessment, she will order a food truck specifically for Yuhao to grill fish.

"Brother Lu, I'll take my leave now. I'm going back to my home in Shrek City to check on things." Zhu Song patted Lu Yi on the shoulder, a hearty smile on his face. "If anyone dares to cause you trouble, just mention my name!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei smiled and put her arm around Lu Yi: "Senior, I'm one of the twin stars of the outer academy, so don't worry!"

"Okay, Brother Zhu!" Lu Yi smiled back and waved goodbye to Zhu Song.

Ever since he saved Zhu Song that day, this bold and generous senior had taken good care of him, and even took the initiative to teach him the cultivation methods used in the inner courtyard along the way.

It is said that this cultivation method combines the Mysterious Heaven Skill and has been improved by several generations of Sea God Pavilion masters. It involves many acupoints and its effects are far superior to ordinary meditation methods.

Under Zhu Song's one-on-one guidance, Lu Yi has gained a basic understanding of this cultivation method, and given time, he will surely be able to master it.

After entering the academy gate, the other senior students from the inner academy also bid a brief farewell to Lu Yi and his companion, and crossed the Sea God Lake to return to the inner academy.

"Come on, let me tell you about the college!"

Lu Yi nodded and walked side by side with Bei Bei.

From afar, Lu Yi could see three enormous statues.

Without Bei Bei's introduction, Lu Yi easily recognized the person in the middle as Flander, the short-haired man on the left as Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong as the woman on the right, based on the statue's clothing and appearance.

If you walk further ahead, you'll see the statues of the original Seven Devils.

Seeing Lu Yi and Bei Bei approach, Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze from the leading statue.

As a direct descendant of Shrek Academy, Bei Bei was obviously proud of the legends of the original Seven Devils, but to Lu Yi, these were just stories, though he still nodded in agreement.

However, even after ten thousand years, although new forces have risen on the continent, the powerful martial spirits from ten thousand years ago still remain as popular as ever—the Clear Sky Hammer, the Evil Fire Phoenix, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda…

This world seems to have fallen into a bloodline theory that the strong will always be strong.

Compared to the magical world—well, the two worlds are quite a pair in this respect.

"I wonder if I'll be able to pass on the wand if I get married and have children in the future?" This thought popped into Lu Yi's mind.

wrong!

How did your thoughts suddenly veer off to getting married?

Lu Yi quickly shook his head.

I don't want to become love-obsessed because of being influenced by the "Love Continent" (a popular online forum for romance)!

As the four walked to the end of the road, the last statue that firmly occupied the center position was naturally the Buddha statue of the sea god.

Lu Yi shook his head as his gaze shifted between the statue of Tang San and Huo Yuhao.

Using your own daughter as bait just to control you ruthlessly, damn it, you deserved to lose!

Wang Dong is almost at the academy now, and I wonder if her appearance will affect the progress of Huo Yuhao's relationship with her.

Lu Yi felt like an outsider, yet he had fallen into someone else's trap.

If we accidentally disrupt the God King's grand plan for ten thousand years, will he punish us with divine retribution?

"Brother Lu, turn left from here and you'll find the Martial Soul Department. Take advantage of the time today and sign up quickly!"
