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

The moment the "brain shut-off technique" was activated, the world before Lu Yi's eyes seemed to become alienated.

Although Lu Yi still observed everything with his own eyes, he had a vague sense of being an observer.

After adapting to the side effects of this mental isolation from the outside world, Lu Yi reached his hand into the ravine once more.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan were filled with question marks when they saw Lu Yi trying again.

"No, Lu Yi! Why are you getting so addicted to touching him?"

Zhou Sichen was greatly puzzled and exchanged bewildered glances with Cao Jinxuan.

Lu Yi did not respond to Zhou Sichen's question; at this moment, his fingers had already touched the golden soil again.

In an instant, Lu Yi saw pale gold threads, mixed with blue and purple, rushing up his arm and into his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the thin line seemed to hit the barrier and was blocked from entering.

Lu Yi did not let go, so the thin golden thread kept bombarding his mind, but all attempts failed.

It worked!

Lu Yi was overjoyed, but the brain-sealing technique weakened, and the golden threads broke through the blockade.

Lu Yi felt a familiar stinging pain in his mind again, and his thoughts became chaotic.

Subconsciously, I let go of her hand, and the pain and mental confusion in my brain disappeared.

It seems that "brain shut-off" can not only deal with thought interference, but also block direct mental attacks.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Lu Yi's face by the moonlight, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan couldn't help but doubt themselves.

"Are we touching it wrong?"

"It's possible. Following Lu Yi's method, we might actually have some fun?"

Without thinking, the two of them came to Lu Yi's side, one on the left and one on the right, and closed their eyes to concentrate, just like Lu Yi.

When she opened her eyes, she reached out again, following Lu Yi's movements.

"Ouch!" *2

Their bodies bounced up again, and this time the impact was even more severe than the first time.

Two pairs of resentful eyes looked at Lu Yi in unison, only to see him first touch the golden soil with his fingers, and then press his entire palm directly onto it.

Lu Yi's body began to tremble slightly, as if he was enduring immense pain.

Unlike them, Lu Yi did not immediately withdraw his hand, but instead kept it pressed against the surface.

"this--"

Zhou Sichen was at a loss for words, and Cao Jinxuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Five full seconds passed before Lu Yi abruptly pulled his hand back, kneeling on the ground as if deflated, panting heavily and drenched in sweat.

"Lu Yi, are you alright?"

He had initially found it novel, but now Cao Jinxuan finally realized that the chasm had come about in a strange way.

If Lu Yi were to be negatively affected by this and it delayed tomorrow's match, that would be terrible. So he took the lead in stepping forward to inquire about the situation.

Zhou Sichen also stepped forward: "Lu Yi, even if something feels good, you should do it in moderation, otherwise it's bad for your health!"

This time, the mental impact was much stronger, and the physical experience felt much longer than the actual time.

After Lu Yi caught his breath, he was touched by his teammates' concern, but when he heard Zhou Sichen's words, his face immediately darkened.

"Get out! You can't say anything nice!"

Lu Yi wiped the sweat from his brow, then stood up and explained to the two, "This golden chasm contains a mental attack. I'm trying to counter it. What do you mean by 'comfortable' or 'restrained'?"

"Psychological attack?"

Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with astonishment.

The two naturally learned about the concept of mental attacks through theoretical lessons, but since mental-type soul masters were rare, they listened to it purely for amusement.

What's even more unexpected is that this strange golden ravine can also contain mental attacks. How is that possible?

They didn't connect this unusual situation to Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, who were lying down, nor did they know that Huo Yuhao was an extremely rare spirit-type soul master.

They assumed the two had been attacked by a mental skill and had simply fainted.

"Should we report this to the academy? I'm afraid there might be hostile forces secretly infiltrating Shrek Academy." Cao Jinxuan became cautious, feeling that the surroundings were now fraught with danger.

"No need for that!"

Lu Yi certainly couldn't reveal the reason behind this.

After all, the Martial Soul Fusion Technique is already astonishing enough, and if he were to reveal its secrets now, wouldn't that be even more shocking?

"Do you think the academy's higher-ups are just sitting around doing nothing? Allowing the enemy to easily infiltrate the academy?"

Of course, Xuanzi is an exception.

"That's true!" Cao Jinxuan nodded. "Should we send them back?"

"Ignore them!" This time, Lu Yi simply put his arm around their shoulders and, with a bit of pushing and shoving, tried to lead them away: "Let's give the young couple some face, shall we?"

Without prior arrangement, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan exchanged wicked smiles.

"Hehe, that's true!"

……

The elimination rounds began as scheduled, and Lu Yi and his two companions waited early in the assessment arena.

The knockout stage will use a single-elimination format, with a total of 64 teams, who will be drawn after their names are called.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao appeared alone. While searching, she saw Lu Yi and the other two and walked over. Her chubby, round face was full of confusion and helplessness.

"Lu Yi, have you seen Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong?"

Roll call was about to begin, and she encountered the same situation as the day before yesterday.

My teammate has gone missing again!

But as soon as she finished asking, she noticed the hesitant expressions on Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan's faces and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Ah—this!" The two of them looked at Lu Yi at the same time.

The problem was thrown back to Lu Yi. Fortunately, at that moment, two disheveled figures rushed over hand in hand. It was Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Noticing countless intriguing gazes fixed on them, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both blushed, loosened their clasped hands, and released the Hao-Dong power flowing between them.

Dean of Students Du Weilun immediately ordered the two to return to their team, and Huo Yuhao, with his excellent eyesight, found Lu Yi and his two teammates in no time.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao, we're late again?" Huo Yuhao lowered his head, too embarrassed to look directly at anyone, and his gaze finally settled on Xiao Xiao's chin.

Waking up in the grove this morning, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong naturally discovered the damage they had caused last night.

Driven by curiosity, they also felt the residual power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and were amazed by its powerful effects.

Little did they know that Lu Yi and his two companions had already experienced it before them last night.

As Lu Yi had expected, they gave their Martial Soul Fusion Skill a very catchy yet somewhat childish name.

In their excitement, the two suddenly realized that there was still an assessment today, and without having time to tidy themselves up, they joined forces and used Hao Dong's power to rush over.

As someone who only cares about looks, Xiao Xiao's illusions about Wang Dong were shattered at this moment.

Kind-hearted, she couldn't bear to speak harshly, but her words of comfort still carried a hint of resentment.

"I respect your... orientation, but it's best to exercise restraint in this kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong blushed instantly. Their expressions, in the eyes of the others, undoubtedly confirmed the improper relationship between the two.

Now that the mud had gotten into their crotches, the two men were speechless and deflated in despair.

Although they successfully completed the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, they lost their lifelong reputation!

With the roll call and the drawing of lots completed, the group assignments have become clear.

Lu Yi looked at the schedule and recognized two of the three teams in his group.

One group consisted of classmates, while the other group consisted of old acquaintances.

Zihao Team, Class 1.

Unexpectedly, after losing three of the first five rounds, they were able to make a strong comeback in the last five rounds and advance to the top 64.

Meeting in the first match twice is surely a kind of fate, isn't it?
