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

What happened in the stands had no effect on the players on the competition stage.

The morning's match was indeed as difficult as expected for Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao.

Xie Huanyue, a Soul Master with extremely strong defense, is difficult to penetrate with ordinary attacks.

Because Xiao Xiao wisely did not add a spirit ring to her second spirit, she lacked a means to slow down Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, two agile attack-type spirit masters.

During the match, Huo Yuhao was saved from Xie Huanyue's attack by the referee and was thus eliminated.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, on the other hand, gave it their all and eliminated the Luo brothers.

In the end, Xiao Xiao exhausted her soul power to hold off Xie Huanyue, giving Wang Dong enough time to build up her ultimate move.

The referee rescued Xie Huanyue from the terrifying attack, and Xiao Xiao immediately fainted.

Lu Yi and his two companions didn't encounter any tough opponents in the morning, but their opponents were more tenacious than in yesterday's match.

However, in the afternoon's quarterfinals, they were drawn against a team from the neighboring Class 10, led by Long Xiangyue.

Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan were studying at the same junior soul master academy and already knew each other.

Therefore, Cao Jinxuan agreed to team up with Zhou Sichen almost without hesitation, but still wanted to test Lu Yi.

Long Xiangyue was also very familiar with the two, and they obviously had a long-standing relationship.

but.

The more familiar people are with each other, the better they tend to know how to restrain each other, and when it comes to actually doing something, they can be ruthless.

Cao Jinxuan let out a "hehehe" laugh while keeping his good brother Long Xiangyue firmly under his control.

Zhou Sichen seized the opportunity, completely ignoring the other two opponents, and focused on controlling the two beast spirits to launch a joint attack on Long Xiangyue.

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

Lu Yi could only curse his teammates under his breath while continuously chanting a shield spell to block the attacks of the two opponents.

Fortunately, Lu Yi was better at stalling for time than Long Xiangyue, and finally received support from his teammates just when he was about to be forced off the field.

"Zhou Sichen's team wins!"

With this, Lu Yi and his two teammates advanced to the semifinals.

Soon, the remaining three groups in the semifinals were also determined.

As the knockout stage draws to a close, it's time for the semifinals and finals.

The twelve trainees from the four teams gathered here.

Lu Yi recognized both Huo Yuhao's team and Dai Huabin's team.

The last pair of twin girls and the muscular man next to them must be the Lan sisters and Huang Chutian.

Compared to the Luo brothers' Mantis Blade, the twin sisters also share the same martial soul, which is their hair, their true martial soul.

However, the level of a martial soul is determined by its importance to the body. Although hair is often more important than life for girls, losing hair does not have any effect on the body in essence.

Lu Yi also knew that they had a special martial soul fusion skill that required extra attention.

The testing ground was much more spacious than yesterday, and there were no ordinary spectators in the stands.

The assessment arena offers more room for maneuver, which is indeed a good thing for Lu Yi and the other two ranged soul masters.

However, the combination of levitation spell and knockback spell that Lu Yi used to frequently employ, which could directly eliminate opponents, was no longer effective.

He will find it much harder to win by trickery now; the next step will be a contest of hard power.

Today, Du Weiren simply stood respectfully, while the person in charge of drawing lots was a handsome old man with a gentle demeanor.

Of the twelve people present, Lu Yi, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong immediately recognized this person.

It was the academy executive who compensated them with Soul Ascension Pills after Ma Xiaotao's evil fire went out of control, but only Lu Yi knew that he was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Yan Shaozhe naturally noticed the three people from the previous incident, but he still introduced himself without changing his expression, saying some meaningless platitudes, mostly about how excellent they were.

Lu Yi showed little interest in this. He glanced at the crowd, who were now excited and their blood was boiling, and finally fixed his gaze on the young woman in the stands.

Noticing Lu Yi's gaze, Zhang Lexuan returned a faint smile.

She herself did not expect that the two boys that Beibei happened to "pick up" would both make it into the top four of the freshman assessment, and even the finals.

However, considering the many secrets surrounding Lu Yi, this matter doesn't seem so strange after all.

"Now we can begin the draw. Teams whose names are called, please send a representative forward."

Yan Shaozhe personally held the lottery box to show his respect for the freshmen: "Freshman Class One, Huo Yuhao's team."

After much mutual deference, Huo Yuhao was chosen to draw lots.

When he handed the lot to Du Weiren next to him, the latter read out the lot number.

"Class 1 of Freshmen, Huo Yuhao's team, second draw."

Next, following the class order, Dai Huabin from Class 5 will step forward.

He rummaged through the lottery box for a while before finally taking out a lot and handing it to Du Weiren.

"Class 5 of the freshmen, Dai Huabin's team, seat number two."

The moment Du Weilun read out the result, Lu Yi could see Huo Yuhao's body stiffen and begin to tremble violently.

The first two draws have the same number, which means the grouping process is over.

However, in order to show that there was no behind-the-scenes manipulation in the lottery, Huang Chutian and Zhou Sichen still went through the process, and both of them did indeed draw the number one lot.

Before parting, Lu Yi gave Huo Yuhao an encouraging look.

Sensing Lu Yi's goodwill, Huo Yuhao's fear of battle gradually subsided, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

"Hey, Lu Yi!" Wang Dong's voice rang out, "Don't you dare lose! What if we win but don't get to face you in the finals? Then all my training all this time will have been for nothing!"

Lu Yi knew, of course, that ever since Wang Dong lost to him before the start of the semester, he had been looking for an opportunity to beat him, and now was the perfect chance to get revenge.

But he didn't follow Wang Dong's suggestion: "That's simple, let's just concede and see you in the third-place match!"

Wang Dong nearly strained his back upon hearing this, then glared at Lu Yi with a resentful expression: "Can't you say something uplifting? You've ruined the whole atmosphere!"

"A rational decision!"

During their conversation, Dai Huabin's mocking voice rang out, still with that same arrogant and annoying demeanor: "Lu Yi, it seems you also know that your victory last time was purely due to luck, and you dare not meet me in the finals."

"That's laughable!"

Cao Jinxuan was not going to back down. He did not believe that the last victory was due to luck, and he was determined to protect Lu Yi.

"You can give up, we'll wait for you!"

Dai Huabin was speechless; he really had no way to deal with Cao Jinxuan's words.

He could only glare fiercely and utter a harsh remark before ignoring them.

Zhou Sichen did not participate in the conversation among the group, but instead spoke to Xiao Xiao in a gentle and encouraging tone.

Xiao Xiao responded with an awkward but polite smile, then avoided Zhou Sichen's concerned gaze.

The twelve people had different thoughts, and the atmosphere was already tense. Yan Shaozhe saw all of this and nodded in satisfaction.

"OK!"

He was already looking forward to seeing how these talented students would perform in the upcoming matches.

As Du Weiren instructed all team members to head to their respective competition areas, everyone put aside their thoughts.

Lu Yi straightened his chest and strode confidently toward the competition area with his two teammates.
