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

Compared to Cui Yajie, who received training from a young age, Lu Yi's close combat skills are significantly inferior.

However, ever since he absorbed his second spirit ring, the Lion Mastiff's energy has brought him not only spirit power, but also greatly improved his physical strength, defense, and physique.

At first, Lu Yi thought this improvement was a one-time thing, because the same thing happened when he absorbed the soul ring for the first time, only the improvement was much smaller.

However, after taking the Soul Ascension Pill and increasing his soul power by two levels, his physique improved by a small margin, as if it were a passive amplification, making him almost as physically strong as an ordinary beast spirit master.

When his second soul skill, Berserk, is activated, he can easily suppress the Nine-Tailed Fox, a beast soul whose physique is not particularly strong.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

However, he did not let his guard down. His soul power was being consumed at twice the usual rate, so he had to finish the battle quickly.

After blocking Lu Yi's heavy punch, Cui Yajie pretended to be outmatched and retreated. Then she turned around, her fluffy fox tail sticking up behind her.

Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to create distance, Lu Yi's magic wand reappeared in his hand.

"Second Soul Skill, Fox Tail Needle."

"Protego!"

Once again, the sound of metal clashing rang out, and this time the sharp fox tail needle was deflected, embedding itself deeply into the hard ground.

Lu Yi seized the moment when Cui Yajie was unable to move and swung his staff to counterattack.

"Stupefy! (Faints and collapses)"

Upon seeing Lu Yi's familiar starting move, the referee, who had been watching the battlefield closely, rushed to Cui Yajie's side almost instantly.

Just when he thought Lu Yi was no longer going to keep his previous promise and was ready to take Cui Yajie away from the battlefield at any time, the expected red electric current did not appear.

Only a seemingly harmless white light emanated from the tip of the staff, shooting straight at Cui Yajie, causing the referee's brain to instantly overload.

"To save or not to save?"

In the end, he chose to stop, and the white light then shone on Cui Yajie.

"thump!"

Cui Yajie collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness. The cute, fluffy fox tail behind her disappeared, revealing a completely different scene.

[Perfect defense and counter-attack]

【盔甲护身Lv.3（4/4）——盔甲护身Lv.4（0/8）】

【昏昏倒地Lv.2（2/2）——昏昏倒地Lv.3（0/4）】

[Shield Spell can be upgraded, +1 credit]

[The Sleeping Spell can be upgraded, +1 credit]

The continuous prompts did not allow Lu Yi to relax in the slightest, nor did he have time to appreciate Cui Yajie's shapely figure.

Looking past the referee's complex expression, Lu Yi saw that not far away, Zhu Lu had already forced Cao Jinxuan to the edge of the field.

As the owner of the top-tier speed-type martial soul, Netherworld Cat, Zhu Lu's attack power is by no means inferior, and her extremely fast speed gives her the upper hand.

Despite Cao Jinxuan's best efforts to defend against her relentless attacks, the characteristics of his martial soul gradually overwhelmed him, and she naturally wouldn't give him time to unleash his soul skills.

Zhu Lu was immediately anxious when she inadvertently discovered that Cui Yajie had been subdued by Lu Yi in one move.

Seeing that Cao Jinxuan had been forced to the sidelines, yet still stubbornly protected his vitals with his arms and resisted fiercely, Zhu Lu immediately changed her attack method in order to eliminate him as soon as possible.

She leaped high into the air, her agile body twisting and turning, her whole body like a taut spring.

With a powerful kick to Cao Jinxuan's chest, the opponent flew backward and landed off the field.

Without a trace of lingering attachment, the sense of crisis emanating from behind made Zhu Lu's hair stand on end. Turning around, she encountered Lu Yi, who was waving his cane at her.

"Hehe~"

Zhu Lu's lips curled into a smug smile. "Trying to ambush me? Too late!"

As a faint light shone towards her, Zhu Lu effortlessly dodged it.

Although Cui Yajie has also been eliminated, she has successfully dragged the game out until she eliminated Cao Jinxuan, thus fulfilling her mission.

The game is currently two against two, but without Cao Jinxuan's stable control, their all-ranged lineup will completely collapse.

From then on, no one could restrain him.

After dodging another attack from Lu Yi, Zhu Lu's first spirit ring lit up: "First Spirit Skill, Netherworld Thrust."

But just then, Cao Jinxuan's voice rang out behind her: "First Soul Skill, Time Flies!"

"What!?"

Zhu Lu turned around in surprise the moment she was slowed down.

Cao Jinxuan was standing outside the arena, with a half-meter-tall clock above his head. The first soul ring emitted a faint halo, and the clock hands slowly ticked, enveloping him in a slowing effect.

"Cao Jinxuan actually dared to openly break the rules!"

Zhu Lu was greatly shocked.

However, Lu Yi shamelessly took advantage of the restrictions imposed by his teammates outside the game to keep launching attacks on her.

Fortunately, Zhu Lu had already released her first soul skill, which greatly increased her speed, allowing her to dodge Lu Yi's attacks.

While dodging, she instinctively looked at the referee, but seeing that the referee made no move, she could no longer help but shout out.

"Referee, they fouled!"

The referee glanced at Cao Jinxuan almost imperceptibly, and adhering to the principles of fairness and impartiality, simply replied, "No foul!"

At this moment, the students watching from the sidelines had all circled around to the side where Cao Jinxuan was.

But he was floating in mid-air, his legs taut and trying his best not to touch the ground, and his buttocks were still a foot above the ground.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Holy crap, you can do that?"

In fact, just as Cao Jinxuan was knocked out of the arena by Zhu Lu, the three of them happened to be in a straight line.

Lu Yi did not waste this opportunity and cast a levitation spell that was nothing out of the ordinary.

If Zhu Lu could be hit, that would be ideal, but if she dodges, it would also hit Cao Jinxuan, who was flying out of the arena.

In this way, as long as Cao Jinxuan doesn't land on the ground, he won't be eliminated.

For Zhu Lu, who lacks ranged attack capabilities, Cao Jinxuan in this state is unselectable.

However, Zhu Lu, who was on the field, was unaware of the full picture and assumed that the referee was openly biased.

At this moment, the effect of her first soul skill had already ended, and she hurriedly dodged while cursing inwardly.

After this assessment is over, she will report it to the higher-ups of the academy, get rid of this old man Deng, and kick him out of Shrek.

But she could no longer wait, because Cao Jinxuan had already begun to activate his second soul skill.

Without further hesitation, she quickly shouted the code to Dai Huabin, but then she froze on the spot.

Lu Yi decisively seized this momentary opportunity: "Stupefy!" (faints and collapses to the ground)

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"

But then Dai Huabin broke free from the entanglement with the two beast spirits, and light emanated from his mouth. A white beam of light shot rapidly toward Zhu Lu, and then rushed toward her.

The faint white light of the Sleeping Curse merged with the intense radiance of the White Tiger's Blazing Light Wave, dissipating into nothingness.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen's two beast spirits had become illusory in their battle against Dai Huabin.

They will not be injured, but will become increasingly weak until they are completely wiped out, and it will take several days to recover.

Zhou Sichen was already nearing exhaustion. When he realized Dai Huabin's intentions, he remembered Lu Yi's instructions from yesterday and hurriedly urged the Flaming Tiger to stop him, but in the end, he could not stop Dai Huabin.

Just then, the levitation spell that Lu Yi had cast on Cao Jinxuan ended along with the effect of Cao Jinxuan's soul skill Time Lock, and Cao Jinxuan and Zhu Lu landed on the ground.

The referee immediately announced Cao Jinxuan's elimination, while at the same time, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were already clasping hands.

Seeing this, Lu Yi knew that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were about to reveal their trump cards, but he was not flustered.

A smile curved his lips, as if he had been waiting for this moment, and he aimed the tip of his staff at Zhu Lu.

"Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger!"

"Confundo!"
