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

Early the next morning.

At the east gate of Shrek Academy, carriages were lined up for miles.

Whenever a student in school uniform walks out of the gate, a large number of rickshaw drivers immediately rush forward to compete for their business.

Lu Yi and his four companions walked side by side toward the door, all preparing to leave the school.

Moon's proposal last night has been accepted, and he has indicated that Lu Yi can make a condition at any time.

Lu Yi wasn't in a hurry to fulfill his promise, much less make an exorbitant demand.

Let's set aside how much importance the flying broomstick carries in Moon's eyes, and what kind of value it can be compared to.

Even if Mu En were willing to give him a high-level soul bone, Lu Yi wouldn't know which soul bone would be suitable for him.

Although it was clear that Moon valued him highly, the matter didn't seem to cause much of a stir, and he didn't receive much attention.

As for how he came to this conclusion, we can see the clues from the fact that he was able to leave the academy openly today.

However, he still greeted Zhang Lexuan and said that he would go out during the holiday to visit other cities.

Zhang Lexuan only gave one instruction and didn't ask any further questions.

That fits Shrek's consistent style.

Xiao Xiao's home was not far from Tianling City, so she went the same way as Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan.

Wang Dong was going to return to Haotian Sect.

Only Huo Yuhao would disappear before dawn, quietly leaving without a trace.

Without exception, their destinations were all located within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Only Lu Yi was preparing to go to Xingluo City in the southwest.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, the group of people attracted a large group of hungry rickshaw drivers who vied for their money.

"Where are you all going? Luxurious sofa carriage, only five silver soul coins per person per hundred miles, hop on and we're off!"

Surrounded by this group of enthusiastic drivers, Lu Yi felt a sense of déjà vu, an overwhelming feeling of familiarity washing over him.

Having already ridden in a horse-drawn carriage, he no longer intended to use such a slow mode of transportation after acquiring his flying broom.

Wang Dong generously chartered a carriage and rode alone, while Zhou Sichen, though also chartering a carriage, warmly invited Xiao Xiao to accompany him.

The group then took their leave.

Seeing that Lu Yi intended to leave on foot, the coachmen immediately lost interest and continued searching for their next target.

Until they reached the familiar country road, the same road Lu Yijin had taken a year ago from the Star Dou Great Forest to Shrek Academy.

Seeing that no one was around, Lu Yi first cast an illusion spell on himself to hide his figure.

He also cast the Bubble Head Spell, which effectively blocked the strong winds coming from the front.

With preparations complete, Lu Yi took out a broom and flew straight into the air towards the southwest.

Lu Yi did not have an accurate method for measuring the speed of the flying broom.

However, judging from the speed at which the surrounding scenery was moving, the speed was at least 160 or 170 miles per hour, if not 200.

Compared to horse-drawn carriages running on the ground, this is undoubtedly several times faster.

However, every now and then, Lu Yi had to stop to restore the durability of his buttocks before he could continue on his way.

Shrek City is located in the central part of the continent, between the capitals of the three kingdoms of Tianhun, Xingluo, and Douling.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is the closest to Shrek City, but it is still three to four thousand miles away.

A main road connects the two great cities, bustling with travelers and merchants. Lu Yi simply traveled along the main road from a distance.

By evening, Lu Yi had covered most of the distance in a day.

Thanks to the protective spell Lu Yi added to the broom yesterday, he was able to persist for five or six hours, flying nearly two thousand miles.

They found a random inn along the way to rest for the night and set off again the next morning.

As evening approached, Lu Yi saw a high wall stretching across the horizon in the distance.

Upon getting closer, Lu Yi realized that the scale of this city wall was ridiculously exaggerated.

Its height reaches 100 meters, which is as tall as a 30-story building.

In Lu Yi's eyes, Shrek City's walls were already quite large, but they paled in comparison to the walls of Star Luo City.

Lu Yi could barely understand building such a high city wall, but the wall's thickness reached 100 meters. Wasn't that a bit excessive?

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Soul Masters among the garrison, Lu Yi controlled the broom to land two miles away from the city wall.

Lu Yi walked to the city gate and entered the city without being questioned.

Passing through the deep, tunnel-like city gate, a scene of ancient simplicity mixed with modern technology came into Lu Yi's view.

Xingluo City, a massive capital city that has undergone tens of thousands of years of development and change, is itself a super relic.

Countless buildings that have stood the test of time and possess unique styles have either been demolished and rebuilt into high-rises, or repaired and patched up on their original foundations.

The wide main road has metal tracks for the Soul Electric Car laid in the middle, and various illuminated signs are erected on both sides of the crowded street.

In particular, the metal pipes of varying thicknesses installed on the exterior walls of each building gave Lu Yi the illusion of returning to the foggy city of the 19th century.

Of course, Star Luo City doesn't have the perpetual smog of Fog City, since many public facilities in the city have already adopted clean soul-guided technology.

After walking for more than ten miles along the main road, the surrounding area became increasingly prosperous, and the buildings were noticeably more magnificent.

Furthermore, Lu Yi would occasionally see a huge banner posted – the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament.

The competition is just over two months away.

To prepare for this grand event, the Star Luo Empire has put in a lot of effort and started warming up in advance.

After all, it is held every five years, with the four capitals taking turns to host it, meaning each country can only take turns once every twenty years.

Hosting such important events is extremely costly, but it also generates considerable revenue for the empire and serves as a primary means of demonstrating national strength.

When Lu Yi finally shifted his attention away from GG, he could see his destination in the distance—the Starlight Auction House.

Against the backdrop of the surrounding tall and majestic buildings, the pointed roof of the Starlight Auction House stands out, which is why Lu Yi noticed it first.

The Starlight Auction House is located entirely underground. It was already dark, and the auctions were at their busiest time.

Lu Yi walked down the steps and arrived at the front desk where registration was handled.

"Hello, I'd like to inquire about an item up for auction!"

Upon seeing that Lu Yi was just a teenager, the staff member in charge of receiving him assumed he was a child brought by his parents and began to inquire.

"Little friend, where are your elders?"

"I'm here to participate in the auction!"

Knowing that his appearance was prone to misunderstanding, Lu Yi explained, "Do you have any requests?"

"Please register and accept our verification of funds."

The staff member maintained their smile, but their tone became businesslike: "Only those with assets of at least one thousand gold soul coins are eligible to enter the Level 5 auction, and the asset requirement increases tenfold for each level you advance."

Lu Yi's total assets amounted to 130,000 gold soul coins.

Including the remaining 30,000+ gold coins from the mortgaged storage bracelet, and the total of 20,000 gold soul coins earned from helping Wang Yan with translation over the past eight months.

And then there's the final big prize—the 84,000 gold soul coins given by Zhou Sichen.

The left leg bone of the Void Demon Leopard was identified as being over 10,000 years old and valued at 300,000 gold soul coins. Lu Yi received 30% of it, which amounted to 90,000 gold soul coins.

The soul tool reward he received was much less valuable than the soul bone, only worth 20,000 gold soul coins.

Even after deducting the price of the soul bone, Lu Yi still netted 78,000.

The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has been repeatedly rejected at auction due to the curse it carries, causing its price to drop again and again. In the original story, it could be acquired for as little as 100,000 gold soul coins.

I only arrived two months earlier; this amount of money is definitely enough.

Lu Yi handed the other party a card containing 100,000 gold soul coins.

After a brief verification, the staff respectfully returned the card.

"Your funds are sufficient to qualify for the Level 3 auction. Please fill in the information here and Starlight Auction House will review it."

"How long will that take?"

Lu Yi put the card back into his storage ring and picked up a pen to start filling in the information.

"At least fifteen days, and generally no more than a month."
