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

Lunchtime at Shrek Cafeteria.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's legs trembling and unable to stand steadily, Lu Yi knew without a doubt that Zhou Yi had given the students of Class One a critical blow during class, as usual.

Huo Yuhao's condition was within his expectations, but why was Wang Dong's mental state also off? He clearly felt drained of energy, yet he seemed to have a deep-seated hatred for the food on his plate.

"What's going on between you two?" Lu Yi asked knowingly.

When asked about his troubles, Wang Dong slammed his fork into the steak: "It's all because of that perverted old hag in our class. She makes us run laps as soon as class starts, and leaves me and Huo Yuhao behind."

"Oh? That's good news!" Zhou Sichen, standing beside Lu Yi, interjected, unaware of the reason behind the incident. "Now you don't have to run anymore!"

"What's so good about it?"

Wang Dong glared at his new roommate Lu Yi, then changed his usual demeanor, tearing off a large piece of meat with his teeth and chewing it resentfully. With his cheeks puffed out, he said, "She only kept us here to waste our time, and because I lost to Huo Yuhao in our sparring match, she punished me by making me run fifty more laps."

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Lu Yi had just opened his mouth when he realized he had spoken out of turn. But Wang Dong, that clueless goose, keenly sensed the hidden meaning in Lu Yi's words and pressed him for an answer: "What shouldn't be said?"

Lu Yi quickly gathered his thoughts: "What I mean is, Shrek Academy encourages fighting, so punishing the loser is practically a ban, isn't it?"

"Wang Dong, I think we should just focus on our cultivation!" Huo Yuhao, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "You were the one punished this time, but your physique and cultivation are both very strong, and you were able to persevere. If it were me, I probably would have packed my bags and left the academy like Tai Long and the others!"

Huo Yuhao was still shaken by Zhou Yi's attitude that morning.

On the first day of class, nearly one-tenth of the students were expelled. Just as Sister Xiaoya had said, Teacher Zhou was terrifying.

She would always inexplicably target Wang Dong, making him answer every question she asked, and then mercilessly belittling his answers to nothing.

And there's physical education class waiting for him in the afternoon, so is the morning's class just an appetizer?

He wants to become stronger and he is willing to endure hardship, but with such a cruel elimination rate, will he not even have a chance to persevere?

Just then, Tang Ya appeared at the cafeteria entrance. Seeing Huo Yuhao's back, she excitedly ran over and patted him on the shoulder: "Little Yuhao, I knew you'd be here!"

To Tang Ya's surprise, with just a light tap, Huo Yuhao's legs went limp like noodles. If she hadn't reacted in time to support him, Huo Yuhao would have had to give Lu Yi a New Year's greeting.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Ya was surprised that Huo Yuhao's body was so weak, but seeing that Wang Dong was also swaying, she understood what was going on.

I almost forgot that Huo Yuhao's homeroom teacher is Zhou Yi.

After Huo Yuhao briefly recounted what had happened that morning, Tang Ya also expressed that she was unable to help.

However, after glancing at Huo Yuhao's food, she changed the subject and said with concern, "Yuhao, you should eat better from now on. Don't neglect your health."

Compared to the high-end meals that Wang Dong bought, Huo Yuhao's food was significantly inferior.

He currently has a few gold soul coins, enough to afford not only stir-fried vegetables and rice, but also meat. However, with expenses in all aspects and no income, he is still very frugal.

Tang Ya came to find Huo Yuhao to bring him a way to make a living—grilled fish.

Tang Ya told Huo Yuhao about her plans and ideas, which made Huo Yuhao very happy. He was finally able to use his talents again and no longer had to sit around and do nothing.

"Okay, Sister Xiaoya, I'll reserve two grilled fish for you every day!"

With the income, he immediately ordered another meal.

After lunch, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong shakily returned to their dormitory and went to meditate to recover their strength.

Lu Yi did not return to the dormitory with Zhou Sichen, but instead went to the secluded lakeside alone.

He reached out and summoned his wand, while simultaneously taking out the fourth-year spellbook he had previously studied.

He did not forget his identity; he was first and foremost a wizard, and only then a soul master.

Although the wand has become his martial spirit, magic is the foundation of his survival.

After two days of studying and digesting the material, he felt it was necessary to put his learning into practice.

Raising his hand and pointing his wand at the lake, Lu Yi first waved the wand and chanted a spell in his familiar way.

"Incendio. (Burning Flames)"

"Whoosh~"

A small fireball, about the size of a fist, was launched and shot into the water. With a "hiss," shallow ripples spread across the surface, and a light mist rose from the center, disappearing in an instant as the breeze blew across the lake.

This is a basic spell that is taught to students in first grade; the initial flame is only big enough to light a candle.

Lu Yi had grown it to the size of a fist in just half a month, enough to light the firewood in the fireplace, which had already earned the praise of the Spells Professor.

Lu Yi knew that there was a more powerful version of this curse, but when he asked the professor for advice, the professor refused.

The reason is that he is still young and cannot play with fire, especially flames that can be used for attack.

But now he no longer had that concern, and took one last look at the key points in the spellbook.

Lu Yi took a deep breath, imagining a raging fire in his mind, and flicked the tip of his staff upwards and then pressed it down, like a conductor.

"In~cendio! (Burning Flames)"

He recited the same incantation, this time emphasizing it deliberately.

A fireball, now larger than before, was launched, creating even bigger ripples, like throwing a brick into a lake.

Lu Yi knew that this was not the effect he wanted; the spell had only become more powerful, but its essence remained unchanged.

"Incen~dio! (Burning Flames)"

This fireball was even smaller than a fist.

"Incendio! (Burning Flames)"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a strong red light emanated from the tip of the wand, and the air in front of Lu Yi seemed to be ignited. Flames shot forward, forming a path of fire about one meter wide.

The fire trail extended forward, disappearing upon contact with the lake surface after traveling about five meters, but the scorching heat still lingered in the air.

A large amount of white mist rose up with the hissing of the lake water. When the mist dissipated, a smile appeared on Lu Yi's lips.

[Advanced Fire Spell Successfully Cast]

【Fire Spell (Basic) - Fire Spell Lv.1】

[Fire Spell can be upgraded, 1 credit]

[Bonus Casting Speed: 0 (+0%)]

[Additional Cast Range: 0 (+0%)]

[Additional temperature bonus: 0 (+0%)]

"Extra temperature?"

Lu Yi, looking at the panel, seemed thoughtful when he saw the third option.

I wonder if putting all the upgrade points into temperature will cause a qualitative change in the flame, turning it into the ultimate fire mentioned in Soul Masters.

The spellbook details the effects of mastering the fire spell. It's not simply about expanding the range or making the fire burn more intensely; it's about being able to control the flames at will and make them work for you.

Based on the Flame Spell, many powerful fire magic spells have also been developed.

Lu Yi didn't know if Dumbledore's Vulcan paving the way was included in this category, because Dumbledore hadn't yet enrolled in Hogwarts in his time, but it was possible.

Therefore, Lu Yi wanted to test it with temperature first.

[Additional temperature bonus: 0 (+0%) - Additional temperature bonus: 1 (+20%)]

After putting away the panel, Lu Yi wanted to test the effects of the enhancement, but he keenly sensed someone approaching.

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of hiding themselves at all, so Lu Yi temporarily gave up the idea of ​​practicing the spell again and looked back.

Then a curvaceous girl walked towards him from the shore. Her bright red hair revealed her identity, and she had obviously noticed him as well.

"Lu Yi!"

"Witchcraft?"
