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

"Tomorrow is the start of the holiday, but don't completely relax during this month-long break, as there will be entrance exams after school resumes."

Standing on the podium, Wang Yan addressed the students who were already getting restless, as the holiday was approaching.

"Some students need to hurry up and obtain their second spirit ring, as the requirement for advancing to the second year is at least level 20."

Needless to say, these words were definitely meant to remind Huo Yuhao.

Currently, he is the only one in the class without a second spirit ring, but he reached the bottleneck of level 20 two months ago.

Only Lu Yi present knew why Huo Yuhao had delayed going to hunt souls for so long.

The reason, of course, is Hyotei.

Of course, Tianmeng will most likely wait until Huo Yuhao reaches the far north before revealing its true intentions.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was also filled with hope and trepidation, Lu Yi secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"You're going to be showing off a lot when the next semester starts!"

As soon as the bell rang, eager students poured out of the classroom like a swarm of bees.

As soon as Huo Yuhao left the classroom, he greeted everyone and headed towards the Soul Guidance Department as usual—today was his Soul Guidance Master level exam, while Wang Dong joined in the fun and followed along.

Wang Yan then asked Lu Yi to stay a while, but Lu Yi told Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan to go back first.

"Sigh, thank you for your help these past few days. I won't be assigning you any translation work for the time being."

Not long ago, Wang Yan accidentally discovered an ancient book related to his original martial soul, but he couldn't say he was happy.

Although it's called an ancient book, what he could actually see were all later printed versions of Shrek's works.

For thousands of years, in order to preserve the contents of the book for a long time, Shrek spent a lot of money to hire specialists to make woodblock prints of the ancient book, so its origin is long lost to history.

However, through Lu Yi's reading and translation, Wang Yan discovered that the book recorded the conditions for the second awakening of the body's martial soul.

Including but not limited to enduring various forms of mental and physical torment, extreme pressure, near-death experiences, etc., Wang Yan was shocked by what he saw.

Wang Yan valued Huo Yuhao's original martial soul highly and wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate him before taking over as a regular homeroom teacher, as well as to prove himself to Elder Xuan.

To be honest, he simply couldn't bring himself to subject his own students to such a cruel test.

So these days, Wang Yan, who was originally full of ambition, has been unable to muster any enthusiasm and often sighs.

Lu Yi had also indirectly participated in Wang Yan's research and knew why he was so melancholy. He simply patted Wang Yan on the shoulder familiarly.

Lu Yi thought Wang Yan's worries were completely unnecessary.

After all, Lao Huo would only bring trouble upon himself; the process of fusing with Hyotei was incredibly painful!

"Teacher Wang, don't be discouraged. At least that book records a secret method for increasing the age of spirit rings. Although the conditions are very demanding, it's still a significant discovery!"

"Thank you, it's my good fortune to have such an excellent student as you."

As he spoke, Wang Yan composed himself and took out a gold soul card from his storage soul tool: "This is your reward for this period of time, ten thousand gold soul coins. The extra is my way of thanking you."

"Oh dear, Teacher Wang, I'm so sorry!" Lu Yi said politely, but his hand had already taken the Golden Soul Card and put it in his pocket.

Instead of being angry, Wang Yan was amused by Lu Yi's behavior.

Although they were teacher and student, their shared characteristics naturally led them to become close friends despite their age difference.

Wang Yan knew that Lu Yi was teasing him on purpose, but he still straightened up and said, "When I publish the book, I will add your name."

"Teacher Wang, you know I've never cared about these empty titles."

"Alright, stop pretending in front of me!"

……

Back in his dorm, Lu Yi watered the flowerpots on the windowsill with some water he had fetched from Sea God Lake. Then, as usual, he moved a chair over, sat down at the table, picked up a book, and began to work on his craft.

Zhou Sichen was lying in bed when she saw Lu Yi fiddling with a bunch of branches again. She asked curiously, "Why have you been using that old broom so much lately? I find it too hard to sweep the floor."

Lu Yi ignored the question that had been asked so many times, patiently pruning the jagged branches at the bottom, while retorting, "You make it sound so true. When have cleaning the dorm ever not been a matter of just a word from me?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Zhou Sichen didn't respond and changed the subject.

"Lu Yi, what are your plans for the holiday?"

Having been roommates for a year, Zhou Sichen felt a pang of pity when he thought about how Lu Yi would be spending the next month alone in an empty room. So he sat up and extended a warm invitation.

"How about coming over to my house during the holidays? My house is quite big! And Lao Cao doesn't live far away."

"Can I go straight to sleep when I'm tired of playing?"

A teasing smile flashed across Lu Yi's face as he finished trimming the tail branches.

"No problem!"

Zhou Sichen answered without hesitation, completely unaware of what Lu Yi was thinking at that moment.

"Never mind!"

Lu Yi knew that Zhou Sichen's family lived in Tianling City of the Tianhun Empire, which was in the opposite direction from his planned destination, so he politely declined, saying, "I plan to go to Xingluo City, which isn't on my way to your house!"

Zhou Sichen was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Lu Yi, what are you going to Xingluo City for?"

"secret!"

As Lu Yi spoke, he summoned his magic wand and aimed it at the broom, but Zhou Sichen did not show any sign of sudden realization.

"I understand! Do you have a lover in Star Luo City?"

"You don't know anything!"

Lu Yi retorted and, following the instructions in the book, secured the broom while simultaneously placing the wand in different positions.

"Wingardium leviosa!"

As the incantation was chanted repeatedly, the broom itself did not float up.

But Lu Yi did not stop chanting the incantation, because at this moment the spell was being evenly engraved on all parts of the broom by the carving knife that the magic wand had turned into.

Zhou Sichen was also a little confused by Lu Yi's strange behavior. Curious, she got up and walked behind him, watching him do something weird.

Lu Yi continued talking, carefully manipulating the wand in his hand to change its position.

Starting with the most basic levitation spell, he then recited in turn spells related to increasing balance, stability, steering, acceleration, braking, and cushioning.

As the final spell was cast, before Lu Yi could even catch his breath, a notification popped up in front of him.

[New magical item detected, identifying...]

[Identified as a flying broomstick; quality: crudely made]

[Magical Item Description: As a wizard's daily means of transportation, this flying broom is of poor quality, but it's just right for the will-o'-the-wisp boy.]

"It's done!"

Despite the low rating on the panel and the fact that the enchanting process severely depleted Lu Yi's soul power, it did not stop Lu Yi from excitedly shouting out.

It is certain that flying brooms cannot compare to flying soul tools in terms of either speed or maneuverability.

But aside from the few unwanted ordinary metal parts picked up from the Soul Guidance Department, the materials for the entire broom cost no more than five silver soul coins.

Moreover, theoretically, driving it should not require consuming soul power.

To verify this conjecture, Lu Yi had already left the dormitory with a broom.

Zhou Sichen was completely bewildered by Lu Yi, not understanding what was wrong with him, but she still followed him out of the dormitory.

Then, right in front of him, Lu Yi stood comically on the second-floor railing, his legs straddling a broom.

Zhou Sichen was the first to feel embarrassed for Lu Yi. After looking around and finding that there were not many people in the dormitory area at this time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to tease him.

"Lu Yi, are you deliberately trying to mess with your buddy before the holiday... Holy crap!"
