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

On the sidelines, a male student with a full head of blond hair, heterochromatic eyes, and a burly build strode onto the stage, followed closely by two female students.

One of the female trainees had black hair, long legs, a slim waist, and a pretty face, but she had an unapproachable look on her face.

The other female trainee had short pink hair, and her temperament was completely opposite to that of the black-haired female trainee. Her already beautiful appearance exuded unparalleled friendliness.

Lu Yi stopped to observe the team entering the arena. Only after the referee's prompt did he realize that this was Dai Huabin's team.

On the other side of the field, the fat man who looked like a ball was none other than Xie Huanyue, who stepped onto the competition stage with two teammates who looked like telephone poles.

As usual, both sides announced their names, set up their formations, and the referee stepped off the field.

Game start.

While the six students were still immersed in the joy of victory, Zhou Sichen, who was staring at the two beautiful female students on the stage with great interest, froze as the six students summoned their spirit rings.

Two three-ring Soul Masters and four two-ring Great Soul Masters.

"This...this isn't right, is it?"

Zhou Sichen's eyes widened, as if she suspected she had been set up.

Not only was Zhou Sichen shocked, but everyone present, even the six people on the stage, were equally incredulous.

I had heard that the students this year were quite strong, but in the second group, nine of the twelve students who appeared were second-ring Great Soul Masters and two were Soul Venerables.

Even the proctors were a little unsure: were this year's freshmen really that strong?

So he glanced at the other assessment areas outside the fence.

"Hmm~"

When he saw that only one or two Great Soul Masters appeared out of every ten people in the other assessment areas, he realized that the situation in his assessment area was all a coincidence.

The examiner's expression became even more serious.

The intensity of this group is practically insane; whoever becomes the number one in the fourth region will have no problem making it to the finals.

High-level battles mean intense fighting, and he must be extremely vigilant to ensure nothing goes wrong.

The two teams were only surprised for a moment before the match finally began.

Watching the brutal, hand-to-hand combat on the field, Lu Yi could almost hear the heartbeats of his two teammates beside him.

"Are we going to play in the finals?" Zhou Sichen murmured, his previous smugness completely gone.

Cao Jinxuan then added without holding back, "Actually, it's not as good as the finals. At least in the finals, both teams are in good form and can give full play to their strength."

These two teams met early today, and one match won't affect our performance tomorrow. But tomorrow we'll be playing against both of these strong teams in turn.

Lu Yi's expression also became serious, but he quickly figured something out and laughed.

Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan were quite puzzled by this.

"What are you afraid of?"

Lu Yi, however, was relaxed and patted his two teammates on the shoulders: "According to the schedule, only the team with the lowest points will be eliminated in the group stage. We just won very easily, so we don't need to worry about being eliminated. Just play with confidence from now on."

"Can--"

Cao Jinxuan still lacked confidence, but seeing that Lu Yi didn't seem as pessimistic as himself and appeared to have some trump cards up his sleeve, he tentatively asked, "Will you win?"

Don't worry!

Seeing Cao Jinxuan's low spirits, Zhou Sichen immediately chimed in, "You'll win!"

As the person who knows Lu Yi best, Zhou Sichen felt confident since Lu Yi himself said, "Don't worry, we can fight."

"Don't forget my martial soul ability. Today I can take on two, and tomorrow you guys can join in. It'll be five against three, so the advantage is... woohoo—"

Before Zhou Sichen could finish speaking, his mouth was covered, and he could only make indistinct sounds.

That was terrifying! I almost died from being bred!

Lu Yi broke out in a cold sweat, but still held Zhou Sichen's mouth tightly, saying, "Just watch the game. There are some things you can't say!"

Zhou Sichen didn't know what he had said wrong. He just thought Lu Yi was reminding him to be humble and not arrogant, so he nodded, and Lu Yi let go.

"Bang!"

Xie Huanyue's body, as large as a mountain of flesh, slammed heavily onto the ground, and even the other students watching from the sidelines felt the ground tremble.

Before that, his target was the pink-haired girl, who used the charm soul skill of the Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul on him, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Xie Huanyue showed no mercy whatsoever. Fortunately, the referee kept a close eye on the situation and rescued the girl from the field in time, thus saving her from being turned into a fox pancake.

"Cui Yajie from Class 5 is eliminated."

But the referee put Cui Yajie on the sidelines and just announced the result when Xie Huanyue's two teammates were knocked out of the game by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

"Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba are eliminated!"

The game instantly turned into a two-on-one situation.

The current situation is very unfavorable to Xie Huanyue. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu are both powerful offensive Soul Masters, and their strength is comparable to his.

Zhu Lu, being an agile attacker, was extremely nimble, making it impossible for him to even touch her.

Just as his mind was racing, preparing to fight with all his might, enduring Zhu Lu's harassment and confronting Dai Huabin head-on, the eliminated ninja Luo Tianlong, feeling pain, quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Captain, let's conserve our energy! There are still four matches tomorrow."

Xie Huanyue regained his senses and stopped insisting, choosing to tactically concede defeat.

With the most difficult opponent, Xie Huanyue, voluntarily surrendering, Dai Huabin's team won the match with minimal effort.

Cui Yajie, the only one eliminated, was unharmed due to the referee's intervention, and it will not affect her performance in tomorrow's match at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Seeing that neither team had suffered much damage, Lu Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that two tough battles are inevitable tomorrow!

However, Lu Yi did not consider the idea of ​​tactically conceding defeat.

He has a very clear understanding now: it's not a bad thing to encounter a strong team in the first round of the group stage.

First of all, there's no need to worry about being eliminated, which already gives you a huge mental advantage.

"Let's treat it as a stress test we all participate in together!"

Most importantly, his and Cao Jinxuan's abilities have not yet been revealed.

Through watching the match just now, he gained a lot of understanding of the abilities of the two teams.

In Lu Yi's opinion, Xie Huanyue's super strong defense and its unreasonable flesh-ball impact were indeed quite troublesome.

Although the Luo brothers were easily eliminated by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, they should not be underestimated.

As for Dai Huabin's team, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat are, needless to say, practically public knowledge in the world of Soul Masters.

In Lu Yi's eyes, Zhu Lu, who was extremely fast and agile, posed a greater threat to him than Dai Huabin, because his spell was very likely to fail.

Once the opponent gets close, almost no one in their team can handle them, so Zhu Lu needs to be kept under close surveillance.

"Old Cao, you keep a close eye on Zhu Lu tomorrow. Leave everything else to me and Old Zhou."

Cao Jinxuan's soul skill can lock onto a target, so as long as it is successfully activated, it can greatly restrict Zhu Lu.

During this period, it is important to prevent Cao Jinxuan from being subjected to mental interference from a distance.

Unfortunately, Cui Yajie possesses such abilities, so Lu Yi must be vigilant and take precautions.

While Lu Yi was observing the group, Cui Yajie seemed to notice his gaze and turned to look at him.

The moment their eyes met, there was no clash of fighting spirit as expected.

Cui Yajie, on the contrary, had a radiant smile and gave Lu Yi a flirtatious wink with her tender eyes.

This highly aggressive scene made Lu Yi, who was caught off guard, feel somewhat embarrassed, and he looked away.

"Amazing! Absolutely incredible!"

As expected of a Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul, its swagger is ingrained in its very bones!

Lu Yi dared not underestimate this opponent who had just been eliminated in the competition, after all, his team consisted of innocent young men.

Just then, Zhou Sichen nudged him with his elbow: "Lu Yi, that pretty girl smiled at me! Does she have a crush on me?"

As expected, Zhou Sichen was instantly defeated by a single glance from the other party.

As his teammate, Lu Yi couldn't just watch him go astray: "Why would anyone be interested in you?"

Zhou Sichen seemed somewhat unwilling: "What if?"

"Don't make your sister Cui laugh!"
