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

"I haven't even agreed to let you be my teammate yet!"

Cao Jinxuan made no attempt to hide the provocation in his words, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.

Ever since Lu Yi was selected as the vice class monitor by the homeroom teacher, the thing Lu Yi did most was maintain class order.

However, students like him, who are at least at the second level, are naturally unhappy when people of lower levels try to boss them around.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen became anxious: "Didn't you agree so readily? Why—"

But he was interrupted by Cao Jinxuan raising his hand halfway through his sentence, and then Cao Jinxuan turned to look at Zhou Sichen.

"I agree to be your teammate, but whether Lu Yi is qualified or not, I need to try and see!"

From the beginning, Cao Jinxuan valued Zhou Sichen's martial spirit and his cultivation level of level 25.

In Class 9, Zhou Sichen was the student with the highest cultivation level, second only to Class Monitor Ning Tian and Wu Feng.

However, the class monitor's team seemed to be somewhat averse to male students, so Cao Jinxuan believed that with his level 24 cultivation, Zhou Sichen was the most suitable teammate.

What he wants is a spot as a core disciple.

Compared to others, the greatest significance of this core disciple spot for him is that the academy can find suitable spirit rings for him at any cost.

His martial soul is the Time-Fleeting Bell, a time-related martial soul that is extremely rare in the world.

However, his scarcity brings more trouble than anything else, because it is too difficult to find a suitable spirit ring for him, and many people say that his potential will be limited as a result.

With a spot as a core disciple, his martial soul might have a better chance of finding a more suitable soul ring.

Therefore, he cannot tolerate a student below level 20 being his teammate.

If Zhou Sichen hadn't told him that Lu Yi had taken leave to hunt souls and would return as a Great Soul Master, he wouldn't have temporarily agreed to it, waiting to test Lu Yi's abilities before making a decision.

"Although I don't know what method you used to increase your soul power level so much in such a short time."

Cao Jinxuan turned his gaze back to Lu Yi and smiled: "Whether you're on drugs or have extraordinary talent, you've met my minimum requirements."

"I suppose you've already reached the second ring, so it wouldn't be too unfair for me to spar with you. Do you dare accept the challenge, Vice Squad Leader Lu?"

I don't know why.

Perhaps it was the increased confidence brought about by the improvement in strength, coupled with the influence of the attributes of the second soul ring, or perhaps it was because the person who provoked him this time was a male classmate.

Lu Yi hadn't really taken the provocations from Wang Dong or Wu Feng to heart.

But this time, he was really angry.

"Then let's fight!"

Lu Yi's tone was resolute. He met Cao Jinxuan's gaze, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a half-smile, "I wonder if this sparring will end when we've reached a point, or if one of us will have to concede?"

Cao Jinxuan has already made his move so boldly, Lu Yi will definitely have to accept the challenge.

Moreover, he doesn't intend to hold back this time; he wants to hear his opponent admit defeat.

Cao Jinxuan almost burst out laughing when he heard this question.

He originally intended to save face for Lu Yi, and he would approve of Lu Yi as long as Lu Yi could hold on for one minute under his control.

Because his martial spirit is strong in single-target control, slowing down the opponent's time flow allows him to gain a huge advantage unilaterally.

The only way to break the deadlock is to act faster than him; otherwise, in a one-on-one situation, he has no chance of losing.

But now that Lu Yi has made this request, he doesn't intend to hold back, so he changed his mind.

"Since you've brought it up, let's fight until one side voluntarily admits defeat!"

"Just what I wanted!"

Lu Yi turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Cao Jinxuan followed closely behind, and Zhou Sichen also quickly caught up.

Once again, Lu Yi and Cao Jinxuan stood facing each other on the open space by the lake.

"Old Zhou, why don't you be the referee?" Lu Yi said to Zhou Sichen, his eyes fixed on Cao Jinxuan.

Cao Jinxuan also wore a mocking smile: "Referees are only useful when the strength is evenly matched. It's better to be prepared to go to the infirmary and call the teacher at any time."

"That can't be!"

Zhou Sichen now regretted choosing Cao Jinxuan as her teammate, so she pouted and muttered, "Are you guys serious?"

The two remained silent, but their eyes sparked with unspoken tension.

As usual, Cao Jinxuan introduced himself first: "Level 24 Control System Battle Soul Master".

Then two yellow soul rings rose up, and a beautiful clock half a meter tall floated above Cao Jinxuan's head.

Lu Yi didn't hesitate either. With a flick of his right hand, he flicked out his wand: "Level 21, Control."

As soon as he finished speaking, two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up, their aura far surpassing that of Cao Jinxuan.

Holy crap!

Upon seeing Lu Yi's thousand-year soul ring, Zhou Sichen finally couldn't help but curse, "So that's what you've been doing, constantly giving yourself aphrodisiacs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yi's face darkened.

If you're going to pretend, don't say anything if you can't speak properly!

He glanced sideways at Zhou Sichen, who realized something was wrong and immediately fell silent, preparing to fulfill his refereeing duties.

"Oh--"

Cao Jinxuan also understood why Lu Yi was so confident. He had only just obtained his second spirit ring, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

So it was absorbed by a thousand-year-old soul ring!

Upon hearing Zhou Sichen's words, Cao Jinxuan became even more disdainful.

"As expected, it was enhanced by external means, so its soul power must be extremely weak! How could it compare to mine, which was cultivated through solid practice?"

No one said anything more, and Zhou Sichen retreated to the sidelines.

"Both sides, prepare—"

Lu Yi gripped his magic wand tightly, while Cao Jinxuan was ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"start!"

Both sides started moving almost immediately.

"First Soul Skill, Time—"

Cao Jinxuan made empty hand gestures in mid-air, but halfway through reciting the soul incantation, his body suddenly stiffened, and his entire brain became like mush: "Time—what was that again?"

But this amnesia only lasted a little over a second. A violent impact hit him, sending him flying backward. As he felt the pain, his mind cleared up.

But it's too late to say anything now.

All that could be heard was Lu Yi shouting something. His body, which was flying in mid-air, seemed to be subjected to a huge pulling force and was pulled back to the ground, where he slammed hard.

Fortunately, the ground was soft grass, so he only made a dent and was not seriously injured.

But before Cao Jinxuan could catch his breath, he was pressed into the ground by an even greater force, dragged like a plow, until he fell into the lake.

Even Zhou Sichen was stunned; it was the first time he had ever seen Lu Yi in actual combat.

Lu Yi's purple soul ring remained lit, and he acted like a conductor, directing Cao Jinxuan to continuously attack the ground with his body.

This is hardly a friendly competition!

It was a complete rout.

At the scene, Cao Jinxuan's head could be seen popping up on the lake surface from time to time and then being pressed down by external force, as he splashed around in the water.

"I recognize Gulu—"

"I gulp—I lost."

"Gurgle—I give up."
