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

Attracted by Tang Ya and offered a spot to study at Shrek Academy without taking the entrance exam, Huo Yuhao did not refuse and joined the Tang Sect.

This scene, when witnessed by Lu Yi, finally reminded him of the story in the original novel.

Considering the God King's scheme, even in the face of Tang Ya's expectant gaze, Lu Yi said he needed to think about it.

Seeing that Tang Ya was unwilling to give up, Bei Bei knew in her heart that this matter could not be rushed, so she simply arranged the next itinerary.

After resting for a while and waiting for Lu Yi to recover some of his strength, the group set off to hunt for souls.

Not long after venturing deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, Bei Bei stopped alertly, signaling the people behind her to stop.

A rustling sound came from the bushes to the side, and the next second a pink figure darted out.

The crowd quickly dispersed, and the figure missed its target.

"The Mandragora Serpent is perfect as my spirit ring!"

Tang Ya spoke excitedly, and the group summoned their martial spirits to fight.

The sneak attack failed, and the Mandragora Snake darted into the bushes, only to have its path blocked by the dense vines released by Tang Ya.

Turning back to meet Beibei's scaly dragon claws, the Mandragora Serpent, in desperation, spat out a purple venomous mist, halting Beibei's attack.

The poisonous fog filled the air, and the others lost track of it. Beibei took several steps back, suppressing the poison while cautiously observing her surroundings.

But at that moment, a clear vision appeared in his mind.

Huo Yuhao's eyes shone brightly, and a shimmering white soul ring rose beneath his feet, sharing the surrounding environment with the others.

"Brother Bei, watch out behind you!"

Before the words were finished, a pair of venomous fangs shot out, aiming fiercely at the back of Beibei's neck.

The attack came too suddenly.

Although Beibei reacted quickly, she was still a little too late.

The fangs magnified rapidly in his peripheral vision; he could almost smell the stench emanating from them.

"Leviosa (floating)."

As he uttered the incantation, Lu Yi lightly tapped his wand, and invisible energy emanated from the tip of the wand, landing precisely on the snake's body.

The mandala snake seemed to lose its weight and float upwards like a balloon.

Although the fangs were almost within reach, no matter how much it twisted and turned, it couldn't get any closer to Beibei.

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's mental detection, Lu Yi's attack was almost instantaneous, saving him the time of prediction.

Furthermore, compared to the previous Cutting Charm, the Levitation Charm consumes significantly less energy.

Cold sweat soaked Beibei's back, but he did not hesitate at all when faced with the opportunity before him.

The purple soul ring beneath his feet lit up, and his right arm, crackling with electricity, was carbonized, even his sleeve. He unleashed a punch with all his might, slamming it into the Mandragora Serpent's vital spot.

The blow was extremely powerful, causing the datura snake's body to bend strangely, its body twisting and convulsing uncontrollably.

"Tang Ya! Quickly, take care of it!"

Deep purple blue silver grass emerged from the ground, climbed up the twisted snake's body, and intertwined with it, before suddenly retracting and tightly strangling it to the ground.

A flash of cold light, the dagger was sheathed, and the snake's head rolled off.

A purple soul ring, representing a thousand years, rose from the snake corpse. Tang Ya turned around in surprise and looked at Lu Yi and Huo Yuhao.

"The battle just now, you—"

"That's my mental detection sharing, which can detect things around me and share the information with others," Huo Yuhao explained first.

"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect a ten-year spirit ring to have such a miraculous effect."

Tang Ya praised her apprentice, and Bei Bei, having recovered from the snake venom, came to Lu Yi's side.

"Brother Lu, thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would have been in serious trouble today!"

"Of course, we're a team, we should look out for each other!"

Lu Yi nodded in agreement, and Bei Bei changed the subject.

"But you're only level ten, and you don't even have a spirit ring, right?"

"This is something I figured out myself... kind of like a magic trick!"

Unable to explain things like wands and spells, Lu Yi simply said this.

trick?

Beibei didn't believe it at all.

This made the soul beasts float up; it's hardly a magic trick.

It's clearly a self-created soul skill!

Among the Tang Clan's unique martial arts, there is a technique that relies on drawing upon soul power to grab or control targets out of thin air, known as Crane Control and Dragon Capture.

However, even after practicing for several years, he had only just begun to grasp its mysteries.

At his age and with his cultivation level, Lu Yi's ability to control a thousand-year-old soul beast is truly remarkable.

If what Lu Yi said is true, and that was a self-created soul skill that he comprehended on his own, then if this level of comprehension and creativity had to be compared, Bei Bei could only think of Tang San, the ancestor who founded the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago.

"Genius! This is genius!"

Beibei's eyes lit up as she looked Lu Yi up and down, as if she were examining a rough gem.

The intense gaze sent a chill down Lu Yi's spine, and he quickly changed the subject.

"It's getting late, let's hurry and let Sister Xiaoya absorb the spirit ring!"

Realizing her lapse in decorum, Bei Bei quickly coughed lightly and lowered her voice to turn to Tang Ya: "Brother Lu is right, Xiao Ya, absorb the spirit ring!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Have you forgotten what you're supposed to call me again?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei blushed slightly, and said with a mixture of affection and helplessness, "Teacher Xiao Ya... hurry up and absorb the spirit ring!"

"snort!"

Tang Ya turned around arrogantly, a smug look on her face, and sat cross-legged next to the corpse of the Mandragora Snake, beginning to absorb the soul ring.

Beibei then told the two to rest and be on guard, recovering the soul power consumed in the battle, and took the opportunity to get closer to Lu Yi.

Sensing once again the attempt to win Bei Bei over, Lu Yi did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he began to learn cultivation methods.

The magic system does not involve the cultivation of internal energy; magic power mostly relies on natural growth.

This is why wizards are generally more powerful as they get older.

But now, he can no longer expect his soul power to increase naturally with age.

Moreover, in terms of physical strength, wizards are almost no different from ordinary people, which is far inferior to soul masters.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi sighed softly, "It seems physical training also needs to be put on the agenda!"

"What! You're saying you've never cultivated? How is that possible?" Bei Bei's face was full of disbelief.

Logically speaking, Lu Yi, who could create his own soul skills, shouldn't be someone who doesn't even know how to cultivate.

He even thought that Lu Yi was only saying this because he coveted the Tang Clan's unique skills but didn't want to join the Tang Clan like Huo Yuhao.

Lu Yi's expression, however, did not seem to be fake, which aroused his suspicion.

After a moment's thought, Beibei told her the key points of the basic meditation method.

The basic meditation method has a long history and is widely passed down. Ordinary soul masters who do not have a lineage usually practice this method.

Although its difficulty is low, its cultivation efficiency is not high either, and it is far inferior to the cultivation methods inherited by Shrek Academy and the Xuan Tian Gong of Tang Sect.

Lu Yi, upon hearing this, showed no disdain but rather delight, and immediately began to operate the system.

"They really haven't cultivated at all!"

Although Lu Yi understood it immediately, he was still clumsy and awkward when he started to circulate his soul power.

As time went by, his awkwardness faded, but he remained cautious.

None of this escaped Beibei's eyes.

The truth has come to light; Lu Yi was truly a complete novice.

"He's reached the level ten bottleneck without ever cultivating; could Lu Yi be born with full soul power?"

Upon hearing this thought, Beibei secretly regretted it.

He was able to discover his own soul skills, and he might even have innate full soul power, yet he has been buried for so many years!

Luckily, I met him!

Beibei could tell that Lu Yi was cautious about joining the Tang Clan, which was only natural.

After all, the Tang Clan had already declined, so it's understandable that Lu Yi would seek to avoid harm and seek profit. However, he had more than just the identity of the Tang Clan's eldest disciple.

If we could bring Lu Yi into Shrek Academy, the effect would be similar!

While Beibei pondered, Lu Yi calmly circulated the chaotic soul power within his body for a round until Tang Ya was nearing the end of absorbing the soul ring, at which point he ended his meditation.

Lu Yi exhaled a breath of stale air and reassessed his physical condition.

Although his soul power was not reborn after being cleansed, the faint spiritual energy from heaven and earth entering his body was enough to make him feel refreshed and energetic.

The shackles on his body were still in place, but the exhaustion he felt after casting the spell had subsided, and his heartbeat was steady and strong, and his breathing was long and even.

"Brother Bei, I have something I'd like to ask you."

Lu Yi briefly explained his situation and asked what type of soul beast suited him best.

"You mean your martial soul can unleash several kinds of magic tricks, and you want to obtain a spirit ring to amplify its power?"

Beibei thought she had misheard and asked Lu Yi for confirmation.

He had never heard of such a request, that one would acquire a spirit ring only to enhance their self-created spirit skills?

The number of spirit rings is already limited, and each spirit skill is extremely important.

Lu Yi does not possess either a beast spirit or a physical spirit, so his spirit power amplification cannot be applied to him.

Unlike weapon spirits such as knives, swords, hammers, and axes, which directly increase attack power after amplification.

While pondering, he suddenly remembered that there was a Soul Guidance Department in the academy that had a low profile.

Students in the Soul Guidance Department generally have weak martial souls, and it is said that many of them choose amplification-type soul rings to increase the power of their soul tools.

This situation is somewhat similar to what Lu Yi said.

In that case, it might be another way.

"Raging Dragon Lizard"

Beibei paused, carefully choosing his words as it concerned Lu Yi's cultivation.

"The third soul skill I used to deal with the Mandragora Serpent came from its variant, the Thunder Dragon Lizard, which provided me with a boost to soul power and lightning attributes. I think the soul power boost provided by the Enraged Dragon Lizard, which has no elemental attributes, will not be weak, and may meet your requirements."

Lu Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "I'll listen to Brother Bei!"
