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

There was no time to mourn Wang Dong's elimination; Huo Yuhao was now facing Lu Yi, who was now free to act.

Huo Yuhao struggled against the two beast spirits until Xiao Xiao finally regained consciousness.

Before he could even catch his breath, he felt the three cauldrons emit a deafening hum that made him feel dizzy.

It's not a psychological attack, but it's exactly like one.

Then Lu Yi's transparent body entered the range of mental detection, and he removed his disguise, revealing his smiling face.

"Yuhao, just admit defeat! You're no match for us!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was completely dumbfounded and turned to look at Xiao Xiao in disbelief.

But Xiao Xiao stood there proudly, one hand on her hip, the other controlling the three large cauldrons, which seemed ready to smash down on her at any moment.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing? We're teammates!" Huo Yuhao was starting to feel a sense of despair.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao suddenly looked thoughtful, as if considering the veracity of Huo Yuhao's words.

Seeing that the effects of Xiao Xiao's bewitching were about to wear off, Lu Yi stopped teasing the two and sent them to sleep with two sleeping spells.

Lu Yi then turned to the referee and politely said, "Referee, I think you can announce the result of the match now."

"Well... okay!"

The referee had expected today's final to be at least intense, if not earth-shattering, but he never imagined it would turn out this way.

The student named Lu Yi in front of him was really strange. He could understand the effects of each of the soul skills Lu Yi used, but why did they all appear on a second-ring student?

Is that correct?

But he still fulfilled his duty and announced in a strong voice, "I declare that the champion is—the team of Lu Yi, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan from Class 9 of the freshmen."

When he finished speaking, all the executives in the room were speechless.

Lu Yi had already walked to Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao's side and lifted the sleeping spell from them.

At the same time, Wang Dong, who had just regained some of his vision, flew angrily onto the stage and stood in front of Lu Yi.

Upon seeing this, the referee immediately issued a stern warning: "This student, the competition is over. Any further fighting is against the rules!"

Wang Dong didn't intend to fight Lu Yi; instead, he wanted to start with words and have a unique post-match segment.

Before the match, he had thought of many ways to win against Lu Yi, such as using a high-damage left punch to make Lu Yi admit defeat, or using a high-damage right punch to force Lu Yi to beg for mercy.

But no one expected that Lu Yi would eliminate him with a beam of light.

"A blatant disgrace! This is outrageous! It's unacceptable!"

Wang Dong's face was flushed red. He wanted to look Lu Yi in the eye and question him about his shamelessness in using such a despicable method to win the game.

But he couldn't do it.

Because the huge black spot right in the center of his field of vision completely obscured Lu Yi's face.

This forced Wang Dong to turn his head and glare fiercely at Lu Yi out of the corner of his eye, as if that could deplete Lu Yi's health bar: "Lu Yi, what kind of skill is it to cheat? If you're so capable, then fight me fair and square!"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again!"

Lu Yi, however, wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he lectured Wang Dong: "You've seen this move before. Last time you were too busy dodging and learned your lesson. Today it's just a bit brighter, and you still fell for it! Tell me, weren't you careless?"

"You call this a bit too bright?"

Wang Dong never expected Lu Yi to lecture him: "I must have been blind to be friends with someone as treacherous and cunning as you!"

Suddenly realizing that his words seemed to be cursing him, Wang Dong quickly spat at Lu Yi a few more times.

"How dare you call me treacherous and cunning!"

Seeing that Wang Dong never looked at him directly, not only giving him the cold shoulder but also saying hurtful things, Lu Yi felt completely misunderstood. He sighed softly and silently shed tears.

"The reason I did this today is because I didn't want to hurt my friends. Even so, isn't my heart at ease and clear enough?"

At the same time, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao also woke up, leaving only Cao Jinxuan still asleep.

Seeing her friends arguing, Xiao Xiao came over and advised, "That's right, Wang Dong! I think Lu Yi is being very gentle with his friends!"

Although Wang Dong couldn't see the two people's faces clearly, hearing Xiao Xiao's biased stance and Lu Yi's dejected tone, the resentment in his chest seemed to be both inflating and deflated, which was truly a headache.

At this moment, Dean Yan Shaozhe and Dean of Students Du Weilun arrived gracefully. All of them suppressed their emotions and bowed respectfully.

Arriving before the group, Yan Shaozhe, as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, had to say a few words.

"I must say, today's final was..."

Yan Shaozhe was speechless for a moment. Recalling Qian Duoduo's teasing earlier, he didn't know how to praise her now, so he could only say indifferently, "It really surprised me."

After all, he had told Qian Duoduo before the finals that the students from these two teams were no ordinary players.

Although Lu Yi's display of soul skills was still amazing, it increased his curiosity about this student once again.

But something about this competition felt off to him. The way the winner was decided was really unpleasant to hear about, and that wasn't what he wanted to see!

However, Du Weiren, a master of language, quickly began to speak: "Yes, in the previous matches you demonstrated formidable strength, and in today's final, you showcased your fighting wisdom, which is truly astonishing!"

Yan Shaozhe smiled warmly upon hearing this, but his words carried a hint of doubt: "Lu Yi, as far as I know, the teachers at Shrek Academy's outer court don't teach like this. How did you come up with such a... creative idea?"

In battles between Soul Masters, Yan Shaozhe had seen fair and square confrontations, and he had also seen underhanded tactics, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone so openly and blatantly using underhanded tactics.

"Reporting to the Dean!"

Lu Yi straightened up and began to talk nonsense in a serious tone: "I once saw a Soul Master who used his Soul Skill to create a bright light and successfully blinded a much stronger opponent, thus creating an advantage for his teammates. So I developed this move myself."

In fact, Lu Yi's idea for this move today was learned from Klin.

It's normal for him to be more experienced after witnessing countless battles between cosmic-level powerhouses in his previous life, right?

"So it's a self-created soul skill!" Yan Shaozhe's doubts were somewhat relieved, and he nodded slightly. "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. However, cultivation should still focus on honing personal strength. Taking shortcuts is not a long-term solution."

Lu Yi inwardly scoffed at these words, but outwardly remained respectful: "The Dean is right!"

If we switched roles, you'd have to resort to tricks too.

Yan Shaozhe said a few more words of encouragement to everyone, and then left the assessment area with Du Weilun.

Lu Yi watched the two academy executives leave, then glanced at the stands, but Zhang Lexuan was nowhere to be seen, and a sense of inexplicable melancholy settled in his heart.

He hadn't let her down, yet he hadn't even come to see her?

"Did you hear that? Dean Yan said you're being opportunistic." Yan Shaozhe's words sounded like an official endorsement, giving Wang Dong the confidence to confront Lu Yi. "I advise you to put away your crooked thoughts and find a time for us to have a fair fight!"

As Lu Yi's teammate who consistently defended him, Zhou Sichen thought differently: "This is called outsmarting him! Don't you understand the astonishing wisdom of our Boss Lu?"

"Alright, if you don't know how to compliment someone, don't force it!"

Lu Yi jokingly patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder, noticed Cao Jinxuan groggily waking up, and went over to him.

"You're awake?"
