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

Lu Yi's running performance was not ideal.

But he did complete the task of 100 laps.

Mu Jin observed the whole process and appreciated the students who went over the time limit but didn't give up. She didn't criticize or punish them.

However, this led some students who were already dissatisfied with Lu Yi to believe that Mu Jin was favoring Lu Yi.

So the look in his eyes toward Lu Yi became even more hostile, as if he wished he could take Lu Yi's place.

Although they didn't know what privileges this deputy class monitor had, just thinking about being managed by someone with such a weak constitution made their fists clench slightly.

After listening to Wu Feng's account of what happened at noon, Ning Tian was actually skeptical; she knew Wu Feng too well.

She's straightforward; all her emotions are written on her face, and she can't lie.

But when she witnessed Lu Yi's poor performance in physical education class, she was immediately disappointed.

"Perhaps he was able to defeat a second-ring Soul Master because of attribute or Soul Skill advantage?" Ning Tian believed that luck definitely played a major role, which was the most reasonable guess at the moment.

According to the information provided by relevant personnel before the class, Lu Yi's background was completely blank, and the source of his recommendation letter was unknown.

In this situation, she either has a very powerful background or no background at all, and she herself would definitely prefer the latter.

"Never mind, he's just an ordinary classmate!"

Ning Tian took out his notebook, crossed out Lu Yi's name from the list he had copied earlier, and then looked at another name—Zhou Sichen.

Hibiscus instructed all participants to meditate and recover their strength, and then took the opportunity to speak.

"I believe many of you have already realized your own problems and the gap between yourself and the outstanding students. You should know that there are people more outstanding than you in the entire new student group, and their numbers are ten times greater than they are now..."

Lu Yi's body had already reached its limit, but his mind was perfectly clear.

He realized that Mu Jin was hinting at something to him, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It is no easy task to make up for his shortcomings and raise his physical condition above average within three months.

Or rather, it's impossible!

It's impossible, at least in a purely natural situation.

Consider that Huo Yuhao was five grades below him, yet he was able to make great strides and win the freshman assessment championship three months later.

How much of this was the result of his own hard work, and how much came from a stroke of luck?

Lu Yi couldn't explain it clearly, but he was certain that neither of the two could be dispensed with.

But Huo Yuhao is the chosen one, and the world will find ways to bestow opportunities upon him. But who am I?

What a stinky out-of-towner!

If he doesn't take the initiative, opportunities won't come knocking on his door.

Lu Yi began to think of something that could improve his physical condition.

"A medicinal bath after physical training counts!"

This is something Lu Yi can barely afford right now. All the medicinal herbs are clearly priced. Each medicinal bath requires about ten gold soul coins. If he sets aside money for food, he can take a medicinal bath every day for a month.

However, medicinal baths are more about gentle nourishment, and their short-term effects are not very strong.

"The Mystic Water Pill is a good thing too!"

Lu Yi remembered that each Xuan Shui Pill was worth ten thousand gold coins, which was definitely unaffordable for him. However, he could try to use Bei Bei's connections to ask Xu Sanshi for one, and repay the favor later.

"Oh, and whale glue too!"

This stuff is said to have been used by nobles in the past as small blue pills, but someone discovered that when whale glue is heated and consumed, it can greatly enhance physical fitness and extend the absorption period of soul rings. We need to find a way to get a piece of this stuff.

"...Therefore, I hope you will guard against arrogance and impatience, and not slack off in either the cultivation of soul power or the tempering of your physique!"

After Mu Jin finished speaking, Lu Yi also made short-term plans for the future and sorted out the good things he remembered.

The biggest constraint on him right now is funding.

Lu Yi has many money-making ideas, but none of them can be monetized in the short term, especially since his schedule is already full.

One-third of the twelve hours in a day are spent in class.

The one-hour lunch break is used for eating and practicing new spells, and the one-hour break after class is spent reading magic books.

The remaining six hours, besides meals and cultivation, now also include physical training and medicinal baths, leave only two hours for actual rest.

With this kind of schedule, making money is out of the question.

Unconsciously, Lu Yi looked at the storage bracelet that Zhang Lexuan had given him and planned to go to Shrek City on the weekend to see how much money he could pawn the bracelet for.

Lu Yi doesn't need such a large storage soul tool for the time being, and he certainly won't sell it. He just needs to get through this period and then find a way to redeem it.

Mu Jin gave the students a short break to recover. With half an hour left before the end of get out of class, they were subjected to an even more inhumane barrage of push-ups and frog jumps.

It's like training your arms when your legs are weak, and then training your legs when your arms are tired.

Lu Yi felt completely drained, even more so than Huo Yuhao at noon.

In the cafeteria, two of the four people who used to eat together were missing.

After Huo Yuhao returned from get out of class, he quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and was then dragged by Tang Ya to the school gate to sell grilled fish.

As soon as get out of class ended, Zhou Sichen was invited by Ning Tian to have a talk. When Lu Yi saw the happy look on his face, he felt that Ning Tian was going to play him for a fool, so he could only wish him good luck.

Wang Dong still looked sullen, but seeing that Lu Yi was also listless, he seemed to feel much better, and he put the incident of being seen naked by Huo Yuhao in the dormitory earlier out of his mind.

The two ate in silence without saying much, but then a shout came from inside the cafeteria.

"Two upperclassmen are going to have a duel in the Soul Arena, hurry and go watch!"

As soon as these words were spoken, students immediately responded.

"What? There's going to be a show!"

However, many freshmen in white school uniforms sped up their eating, quickly finished their meals, and rushed out the door.

"Lu Yi, do you want to go take a look?" Wang Dong was clearly also very interested in the fighting spirit of the senior students.

Lu Yi replied nonchalantly, "I'm fine with anything!"

"Then hurry up!"

When Lu Yi and Wang Dong each handed in a silver soul coin to enter the Soul Arena, there were already quite a few people in the audience seats, most of whom were freshmen wearing white school uniforms.

As soon as they stepped onto the stands, Tang Ya's voice rang out from the audience: "Lu Yi, Wang Dong, they're here!"

Besides Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao was also present. Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and Wang Dong went over and sat down next to the two.

"Shrek really knows how to squeeze money out of students!"

Lu Yi complained somewhat helplessly, which prompted Huo Yuhao to nod vigorously: "I heard that Senior Brother Bei even paid ten gold soul coins to use the venue!"

Good guy!

Not only do spectators have to pay for tickets to enter, but even the students participating in the competition have to pay. They make money from both sides!

However, Tang Ya clearly knew more about the inside story, so she explained, "Actually, the academy isn't that corrupt. Half of the ticket fees are split with the winner, and Bei Bei has already made a lot of money from that."

"I see!"

Lu Yi nodded, but then he saw Bei Bei and another handsome young man of similar age stepping onto the field at the entrance.

"Is that Xu Sanshi?"

Just as Lu Yi got a clear look at Xu Sanshi, Tang Ya's voice came again.

"Yuhao, in a little while, use your mental detection to help your senior brother Bei teach that Xu Sanshi a lesson. Don't feel guilty!"

"Okay, Sister Xiaoya!"
