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

Lu Yi did not rush to respond to Wang Yan's enthusiastic invitation.

He doesn't know how long it would take to study all the books in the magical library in his mind.

Whether it's magic or martial spirit, a vast amount of knowledge means a huge investment of time.

It's not realistic to rely entirely on Electrox, since he still wants Electrox to start researching the Soul Spirit system after obtaining the Life Gold.

I simply can't be in two places at once!

Seeing the hesitation in Lu Yi's eyes, Wang Yan felt that there were some things he had to say.

"You should know, classmate, any groundbreaking achievement has the potential to change the cultivation system of Soul Masters. However, in order to maintain their own status, these achievements have all become the secrets of those sects, and most of them have been buried with them when they die."

Fearing that these words might not be convincing to a young man, Wang Yan gave another example: "I don't know if you've heard of the Body Sect, they are a group of people who use their bodies as their martial souls."

The Body Martial Soul was not originally powerful. It wasn't until the first sect master of the Body Sect appeared and researched a special method to stimulate the potential of the Martial Soul, gaining combat power far exceeding that of ordinary Martial Souls, that the Body Sect came to be as it is today.

Lu Yi was not blinded by fame and fortune; instead, he fell into deep thought.

The translation of these ancient texts, accumulated over thousands of years, is a task that cannot be accomplished by just a few people.

But more importantly, he needs to clarify this knowledge, analyze which parts are useful and which are redundant and need to be removed.

The amount of effort required is enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Seeing that Lu Yi was beginning to waver, Wang Yan pressed his advantage and threw out an even bigger bait.

"Countless sects have been submerged in history. If you can unearth this knowledge from the earth and integrate it, perhaps Shrek Academy will have another statue to commemorate it in the future!"

Before Lu Yi could react, the girl opposite him, who had been listening intently the whole time, exclaimed "Wow!" and then covered her mouth.

But the way she looked at Lu Yi was filled with admiration, as if Lu Yi had already achieved great success.

However, Lu Yi also realized the benefits of this during his thinking, and he already had the answer in his heart.

But he didn't want to give an answer immediately, so he looked up at Wang Yan and said, "Teacher Wang, please allow me to go back and think about it. Right now, I need to figure out a way to hunt souls and then pass the freshman assessment!"

But when Wang Yan heard these words, he smiled.

"Young man, it seems you don't understand your own value. If I report your situation to the academy, it won't be difficult for you to pass the freshman assessment or even be promoted to a core disciple."

Are they just core disciples?

Lu Yi thought Wang Yan could offer even greater incentives.

However, considering that Wang Yan himself is only a teacher in the Department of Foreign Languages ​​and does not have much authority, this treatment is already quite good within his authority.

"Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Wang, but I can't abandon my teammates. I'll definitely pay you a visit after the assessment!"

"That's excellent!"

Wang Yan was already very satisfied with this answer, but at the same time realized that his words had gone a bit too far.

At Lu Yi's age, cultivation should be the top priority; he cannot expect Lu Yi to immediately devote himself to related research.

"I was too impatient. Don't worry about it. Just come find me when you have time to cultivate."

To salvage his image and to bridge the gap between them, Wang Yan didn't mind showing Lu Yi some more care: "Classmate, I don't know your name yet. What type of soul ring do you need? As long as it's not too rare, I'll try my best to hunt it for you."

While both Shrek Academy trains students to hunt souls, the difference in their attitudes towards ordinary students and core disciples is like night and day.

Ordinary students only need to have similar years of experience and compatible attributes; they don't have much room to demand anything from the academy, and what kind of spirit rings they can hunt depends entirely on luck.

Even the avenue of spending money has been blocked.

After all, collecting too little money is not very meaningful to the college, while collecting too much money is easy to be criticized, so it is better to treat everyone equally.

This has led many powerful families to choose to help their geniuses hunt souls on their own, such as Ning Tian, ​​the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, who also asked Mu Jin for leave these past two days.

The core disciples are different; the academy will find the most suitable spirit rings for them, regardless of time or cost.

Wang Yan's words practically secured Lu Yi's status as a core disciple in advance.

Lu Yi had no idea how many procedures were involved, but it made the little girl opposite him envious.

"My name is Lu Yi, Teacher Wang. I hope to obtain a spirit ring that amplifies power, preferably a percentage-based amplification. I don't have any requirements regarding attributes."

Given a better option, Lu Yi naturally wouldn't refuse, and added, "Besides, I've previously consumed high-quality whale collagen; could the shelf life be appropriately increased?"

"It's an enhancement-type item!"

When it came to his area of ​​expertise, Wang Yan naturally wouldn't make arbitrary judgments, but rather wanted to understand the situation first: "Let me see your martial spirit!"

When the wand appeared in Lu Yi's hand, Wang Yan remembered him: "You were the one who was fighting in the dorm area before school even started, weren't you!"

Lu Yi nodded, without denying it.

"Amplification-type items are no problem!"

Wang Yan understood, but didn't elaborate in front of the other student. Instead, he said, "The second spirit ring is usually three hundred years higher than the first spirit ring. Taking whale glue can increase this number, but it shouldn't be more than seven hundred years higher."

Lu Yi calculated that his first spirit ring was nearly four hundred years old, so absorbing a spirit ring within one thousand one hundred years for the second ring would be almost no problem.

He shared his thoughts with Wang Yan, who nodded slightly, but still kindly offered a reminder:

"I understand your desire to pursue the second ring of the Millennium. The student you fought had the second ring of the Millennium. I guess you were influenced by that and didn't want to fall behind."

"While whale glue is expensive, the academy is full of powerful families and sects. Do you think they can't afford it?"

The meaning behind those words was quite clear, and Lu Yi shook his head without hesitation.

Wang Yan nodded in satisfaction. Among the students he had met, Lu Yi was considered to be easy to communicate with: "It's just that suitability is always more important than age. For a Soul Master, a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill is the real watershed. But since you have this idea, I will naturally do my best to satisfy you."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang!"

The carriage swayed and lurched for another half hour before Wang Yan finally told the driver to stop.

Wang Yan had been to this place more than once, so he was clearly quite familiar with it: "Get everything ready. We'll enter from here, and the soul beasts won't be as dangerous!"

Everyone got off the bus and lined up. Wang Yan gave a brief explanation, and then the group headed straight into the forest.

As they walked, the little girl who had been eavesdropping on their conversation whispered to Lu Yi, "Was that student you were fighting with Wang Dong? I think his second spirit ring is a thousand years old!"

Lu Yi turned around: "You know Wang Dong too?"

"Of course, we're in the same class."

The little girl said matter-of-factly, but when she mentioned Wang Dong, her cheeks actually got a little hot.

But realizing she had lost her composure, she quickly shook off the jumbled thoughts in her mind and looked at Lu Yi again.

"By the way, my name is Xiao Xiao."
