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

Fortunately, Cao Jinxuan's second soul skill has a limited duration of effect.

To others, it seemed like only three or four seconds before Lu Yi broke free from his frozen state.

For Lu Yi himself, this time felt several times longer, more than ten seconds.

But in those short ten seconds, Lu Yi figured something out.

Every Soul Master has their own signature skills. When battle is unavoidable, their first priority is not to simply counter each move.

Instead, the goal is to eliminate the possibility of the other party making a move.

It might be difficult, but with a goal in mind, Lu Yi laughed out loud happily.

"Great! Great, Lao Cao!"

Lu Yi stepped forward and put his arm around Cao Jinxuan's shoulder: "Your soul skill really gave me a big surprise!"

Cao Jinxuan, of course, had no idea what Lu Yi was thinking. He simply took it as Lu Yi's recognition of his abilities and smiled sincerely.

Next up was a sparring match with Zhou Sichen.

Lu Yi and Zhou Sichen spent two months together, and their relationship was good. They never had any conflicts or even fought.

Now, as the two face off for the first time, Zhou Sichen has abandoned his usual playful demeanor and become unusually serious.

He was the one who felt Lu Yi's growth the most deeply, and naturally knew about his terrifying cultivation efficiency.

After all, Lu Yi was six levels behind him when he entered the university, but now that gap has been narrowed to two or three levels, so he can't help but take it seriously.

There was no need for a formal announcement; the two simply stood a short distance apart and were ready to summon their martial spirits.

Having learned from Cao Jinxuan's defeat yesterday, Zhou Sichen naturally wouldn't stay put and unleash his soul skills as soon as the battle began.

As soon as Cao Jinxuan announced the start, Zhou Sichen immediately shifted his feet and started running.

As expected, Lu Yi's first attack was dodged by Zhou Sichen changing direction in advance.

Zhou Sichen then revealed a triumphant smile.

"My turn next!"

Zhou Sichen opened the book in his hand, and a faint light emanated from the pages. Then, his second soul ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Flaming Tiger Attack!"

Suddenly, the book in Zhou Sichen's hand glowed with a crimson light, illuminating his face. Then, the giant tiger wrapped in flames on the pages seemed to come alive.

Seeing that the Flaming Tiger was about to be summoned, Lu Yi immediately added a spell: "Ligatus Libri!"

"Snapped!"

The opened tome suddenly closed under the influence of the incantation. The Fiery Tiger, whose head had just emerged, was caught between the pages on both sides and turned into a wisp of red smoke, eventually disappearing without a trace.

The feeling of having one's soul skill interrupted is no less intense than when a gun explodes during the most fierce part of a battle.

Zhou Sichen's face instantly turned bright red, but the book in his hand seemed to be glued on, and he couldn't open it no matter what he did.

Seeing Lu Yi raise his hand again, he hurriedly raised both hands as well.

"Stop! Stop! I'm not playing anymore!"

Lu Yi stopped in time, but saw Zhou Sichen wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, looking troubled.

"What kind of ghostly technique is that?"

Cao Jinxuan, who was standing to the side, actually wanted to ask the same question.

Yesterday, when he got back, he carefully reviewed his battle with Lu Yi and felt that the problem lay entirely in the momentary confusion in his mind at the start of the battle.

Then he was tossed around by Lu Yi like a rag doll, and then Zhou Sichen's Martial Soul Manual was suddenly closed.

Did Lu Yi just demonstrate three soul skills?

But he only has two spirit rings?

A series of questions flashed through Cao Jinxuan's mind. Combined with Lu Yi's rapid progress during this period, there was only one explanation for the many strange phenomena surrounding Lu Yi.

"So it absorbed a soul bone! No wonder, no wonder!"

People's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Cao Jinxuan was secretly delighted by Zhou Sichen's sudden defeat.

Having previously suffered a blow to his self-confidence, he regained his mental balance.

It wasn't that I was incapable; it was just that Lu Yi used his trump card.

Faced with Zhou Sichen's question, Lu Yi simply said that it was a manifestation of the external application of soul power, no different from manipulating objects to float, only requiring greater precision.

He couldn't very well say that the spell he had just used wasn't even an attack.

It's just an obscure spell that magic professors cast on forbidden books to prevent young wizards from going astray, right?

That's so hurtful to someone's self-esteem!

In fact, after fighting Wang Dong and discovering the influence of the curse on martial souls, Lu Yi had been pondering something.

Since curses can affect weapon spirits, weapon spirits themselves can be regarded as physical entities.

There are countless types of weapon spirits in the Douluo Continent, and just as many spells in the magic world are shelved due to their low versatility.

After Zhou Sichen became his roommate, Lu Yi intentionally or unintentionally searched for spells that could target his martial spirit in various books, so as not to suffer if the two of them had a conflict one day.

Finally, with Electrolux's help, he discovered a spell specifically used to seal books.

However, he and Zhou Sichen had always had a good relationship, so he never had the chance to use it.

Today's exchange further confirmed his guess.

"It seems that learning a variety of subjects isn't such a bad thing!"

As Lu Yi pondered, a smile was already creeping onto his lips.

As long as you know a lot of spells, there's always one that will suit even the toughest opponent.

……

Half a month has passed in a flash, and the new student assessment to test the students' learning outcomes has finally arrived.

Under immense pressure, some are overjoyed, some are sorrowful, and some, knowing there is no hope, simply give up and start enjoying life.

Lu Yi was neither of the above three; he simply continued as usual, practicing what he was supposed to do, studying what he was supposed to do, and adding points as needed.

Name: Lu Yi

Title: Senior Wizard Apprentice

[Exclusive Ability: Magic Library]

[Spells (Advanced Apprentice): Two spells can be upgraded. Click to view the spells you have already mastered.]

[Potions (Beginner): Click to view potion skills already mastered]

[Dark Magic and Defense (Advanced Apprentice): Spells can be upgraded; click to view learned spells]

Transfiguration (Beginner Level)

[Magic Item: Wand (Soul Bound)]

Since Lu Yi began to dabble in fifth-grade spells, his title has become Advanced Wizard Apprentice, and his levels in Spellcasting and Defense Against the Dark Arts have also become Advanced Apprentice.

During this period of frequent combat training, Lu Yi also perfectly executed the spell several times.

He upgraded the spells with clear directions, but he was unsure about a few new spells and chose to observe them for a while longer.

With the assessment approaching, Lu Yi has fully understood the characteristics of the new spells and found a more promising direction. It's time to upgrade them.

[The Confusion Spell can be upgraded; Credits: 2]

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

[Additional Bewitching Strength: 0 (+0%)]

[Additional mental confusion: 0 (+0%)]

Mind control, as the name suggests, can make a target obey one's instructions, or even turn them into a puppet.

However, unlike the Imperishable Curse, the Confusion Curse, no matter how strong, can only be effective for a short time and does not harm the soul. Moreover, the higher the mental strength, the less affected one is.

Confusion of thought means that one is not clear about what they are doing, and may even forget the things they are most familiar with.

Cao Jinxuan had previously forgotten his own soul incantation due to mental confusion.

Between the two options, Lu Yi chose to enhance the bewitchment aspect, which has a higher potential.

[Mind control intensity: 0 (+0%) - Mind control intensity: 2 (+40%)]
