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

At the scene, Zhang Lexuan stood between the crowd and the dark figure.

Maintaining her Martial Soul True Body state allowed her to fully activate her senses and her aura to surge, while simultaneously rapidly consuming the soul power within her body.

Her expression remained calm, and as the dark figure tentatively paced, she constantly changed direction, never revealing any flaws.

Everyone behind them who was able to stand maintained their martial spirit, but no one broke the eerie silence first.

The next second, the shadowy figure and Zhang Lexuan moved in sync, and the team members behind them quickly dispersed, forming a semicircle to divide the battlefield.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Moonfall."

In the dark sky, a golden crescent moon instantly formed. In a flash, the crescent moon split in two, the upper crescent transforming into a scythe that attacked the opponent.

During its flight, the golden scythe changed angles several times, locking onto the dark figure.

A glint flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes. Seeing that the attack was about to succeed, the golden scythe suddenly slowed down.

The sharp black claws slammed down, and the scythe formed from energy instantly dissipated, turning into specks of golden light that dimmed away.

Unable to land her attack, Zhang Lexuan urgently activated her second attack, only to find that she had lost all sense of the waning crescent moon.

Behind her, in mid-air, the golden crescent moon had quietly turned blood red.

Before she could react, the crimson crescent moon plummeted downwards, its target aimed directly at one of her teammates behind her.

Realizing that her abilities were being affected, Zhang Lexuan felt panicked and immediately shouted.

"Get out of the way!"

"Bang!"

The blood moon fell to the ground, triggering a violent explosion.

Although the team member tried to avoid it in advance, she was still blown away by the shockwave. Fortunately, she was protected by her soul power and only suffered the impact.

Anger crept across Zhang Lexuan's brow, only to see the dark figure already inches away.

As the black giant claw swung down, she quickly raised her arms to block it in front of her and circulated her soul power to protect herself.

But the sharp claws easily tore through her defenses.

As Zhang Lexuan's body flew backward, team members immediately joined the battle, just to entangle the soul beast and not give it a chance to breathe.

But that team member was only a quasi-Soul Emperor who had not yet obtained his sixth soul ring; in essence, he was still a Soul King. How could he possibly deal with a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

In just one move, the soul beast's thick tail lashed out at his abdomen.

In an instant, he felt as if all his internal organs had been ground up in a meat grinder. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he collapsed to the ground.

Just then, golden ropes bound the hind legs of the soul beast, followed by a deluge of various soul skills that shot straight towards the dark figure.

The five-meter-long phantom broke free of its restraining ropes after only a few attacks, and seemed to be trying to hide in the darkness again as it dodged and weaved.

"boom--"

A violent explosion ignited, and with the help of the flames, everyone was finally able to see the figure of the dark shadow.

At first glance, it looks like a tiger-type spirit beast, but considering its agile physique and attack methods, it is more like a leopard-type spirit beast.

As the fire died down, Zhang Lexuan rejoined the battle.

Knowing that her martial soul ability was countered by her opponent, she simply stopped using soul skills and began close combat...

At the edge of the battlefield, four figures moved cautiously; it was Lu Yi and the three members of the Tang Clan.

From the start of the battle, they did not stay away from the battlefield, but instead roamed the edge of the battlefield, taking on the task of treating the wounded.

"boom--"

Even the aftershocks of the battle were enough to send chills down one's spine.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao endured the excruciating pain in his eyes and shared his mental detection with Tang Ya.

Meanwhile, Tang Ya quietly controlled the Blue Silver Grass to reach the wounded on the battlefield.

However, the destructive force of the battle would occasionally shatter the Blue Silver Grass, forcing her to summon new vines.

Finally, she dragged a bloodied figure a short distance away with her Blue Silver Grass. Beibei ran forward, picked it up, and rushed behind cover.

Having been injured and left on the battlefield, this senior student was still reeling from the aftershocks and was on the verge of death.

But Beibei still detected a faint breath in him, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope: "Quick, he's still breathing!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yi opened the prepared medicine bottle and poured the liquid into the wounded soldier's mouth.

Compared to medicinal pills that are difficult to swallow, it is much easier to feed liquids to unconscious wounded soldiers.

The medicine flowed down his throat into his stomach, and after a few breaths, although his breathing was still weak, it had become steady.

Seeing this, Beibei's face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed, "Brother Lu, your village is truly full of hidden talents! Even an ordinary doctor can concoct such miraculous medicines. I must visit you sometime!"

Hogwarts is probably gone forever.

Seeing that the medicine was still effective on the seriously injured, Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's working!"

He was feeding her a magical potion that could heal injuries, one that he had brewed himself.

However, this potion was originally intended for myself, and there were only five bottles.

He used up two bottles to save people, but looking at the battlefield through the thinning darkness, he unconsciously gripped the last remaining potion in his hand.

It looks like three bottles are far from enough!

……

Zhang Lexuan's red inner school uniform was now tattered, making it impossible to distinguish between blood and the original color of the clothes.

Where the battlefield was located, countless giant trees that required two people to hug were either snapped in half or uprooted.

The ground had been turned upside down countless times by the explosions and aftershocks of the battle, and had long since turned into scorched earth, unrecognizable.

Meanwhile, the soul beast opposite her also suffered greatly from the relentless attacks of the inner court disciples. Its entire body was covered with open wounds and burns, with hardly any healthy flesh visible. There was even a horrifying knife wound on one of its eyes.

Of course, the team members who fought across several levels suffered even heavier losses and are now at their last gasp.

During the battle with the soul beast, Zhang Lexuan recognized its species—the Shadow Leopard.

The Shadow Leopard is not a top-tier soul beast, but this Shadow Leopard has clearly mutated and mastered abilities related to the moon.

Given its ability to transform moonlight into crimson, calling it the Moon-Eclipse Shadow Leopard might be more fitting.

The reason her previous attacks were affected by the opponent was precisely because of this, but one thing is certain: the Eclipse Moon Shadow Leopard is the most suitable choice for her eighth spirit ring.

However, as a quasi-Soul Douluo with the Moon Martial Soul, she is also the best supplement for the Eclipse Moon Shadow Leopard to improve its strength—perhaps the other party appeared here precisely because they had their eyes on her.

Although the Moon-Eclipse Shadow Leopard is not a top-tier soul beast, it has reached the level of 100,000 years, and its strength is still beyond their ability to contend with.

Of the original eight teammates who participated in the battle, only three are still standing, barely managing to stay upright.

They were two quasi-Soul Saints and a powerful attack-type team member who had just been promoted to Soul Emperor. They were the three with the highest cultivation levels besides himself during this Soul Hunt.

As the two sides stood locked in a physical standoff, Zhang Lexuan was shocked to realize that the other injured people had disappeared, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.

Zhang Lexuan stared intently at the shadow leopard and asked the female teammate beside her, "Sister Ruoruo, have you seen the others?"

As the team's main controller, facing an unprecedentedly powerful soul beast, Han Ruoruo's attention was always focused on the Shadow Leopard, and she didn't notice anything else. She then turned to look at Wu Ming beside her.

But considering that Wu Ming was the one who caused the most damage at the scene, she hesitated to speak.

"Could it be? Could it be that they've all been caught in the aftermath of the battle—"

Zhang Lexuan didn't dare to think any further, she just looked around at the last three people standing beside her.

Although the Shadow Leopard in front of us is in poor condition, it is not something that can be easily defeated.

Of everyone present, only she, possessing the true form of a martial soul, could rival her.

She couldn't let these three continue in this battle they shouldn't have been involved in. They had to survive and preserve the Shrek legacy.

"Sister Ruoruo, take Xiaoming and Xiaosong with you! I'll buy you some time!"

As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan's martial spirit essence began to boil; she was ready to fight to the death.

"Sister Lexuan! I, Zhu Song, am no coward!"

Blood spilled from the mouth of the burly male team member, and he could barely maintain his Martial Soul Possession state, but he gritted his teeth to stop his swaying body and showed a relieved expression on his face.

"The younger generations of the academy will remember that there was once a Soul Emperor senior who defeated a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. It was worth it!"

"Yes, Le Xuan! I won't listen to you as the team leader anymore!" Han Ruoruo refused just as decisively.

Wu Ming remained silent, and flames erupted around her once more, demonstrating her stance.

"A pathetic camaraderie!" The Eclipse Moon Leopard dragged its wounded body slowly forward, a mocking smile on its face as it faced the four struggling survivors. "Unfortunately, you will all become my prey!"

At that moment, a dazzling red light rose up a hundred meters behind Zhang Lexuan.

It's a distress signal flare!

Like a shot of adrenaline, hope rekindled in Zhang Lexuan's heart.

Whoever launched the signal flare, it was good news for them.

If we just hold on a little longer, we can hold out until Elder Xuan arrives!

The red light pleading for help fell into the Moon-Eclipse Leopard's single eye, making it restless.

It could no longer delay; it had to deal with the humans in front of it as soon as possible and devour the leader, the Soul Master.

Just as it was about to launch its attack, a handbag slowly floated out from the darkness behind it.

The next second, the handbag was fastened to its rear.
