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

Clearly, Starlight Auction House was eager to sell the cursed Soul-Eating Carving Knife, making the handover process exceptionally smooth.

Handing over the still-warm Golden Soul Card in exchange for a cold carving knife, Lu Yi felt an unprecedented surge of excitement.

Gently stroking the blade that had been directed at him with such malice, feeling the piercing chill emanating from his fingers, Lu Yi instead gave it a wicked smile.

"Just you wait, I'll get some people to deal with you right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the malice of the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade intensified, but Lu Yi had already thrown it into his storage ring.

In fact, Lu Yi felt that the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife and Soul Weapons had many similarities.

He had considered using the same methods he used against Horcruxes to see if he could erase the soul residing in the carving knife.

However, the method of dealing with Horcruxes seems to involve destroying the item itself along with it.

But he still wanted to keep the carving knife itself, not daring to gamble that the gold of life could withstand those violent methods.

"Professional matters should be left to professionals."

Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh and gave up his far-fetched idea.

As Lu Yi emerged from the Black-Level VIP room and prepared to leave the auction house, he was blocked inside the door by a Soul Master in charge of security.

"Sorry, this area is temporarily under lockdown. Please wait a moment!"

Although the security guard's words were an apology, his tone was icy. After speaking, he stood still at the door. The same thing happened in other VIP rooms.

"What happened?"

Lu Yi tentatively inquired, and realized that such a large-scale mobilization, even to the point of stopping him as a Black-level VIP, clearly indicated that something significant had occurred.

But the security guard stood with his hands behind his back, not answering a word. His towering figure remained standing at the door, his gaze sweeping across the corridor.

Just then, a commotion was heard in the VIP area corridor.

A woman dressed in a gorgeous red gauze dress, surrounded by a throng of beautiful women, walked hurriedly from the depths of the corridor.

As she passed by the door, her striking beauty, which stood out even among the many senior auctioneers, naturally caught Lu Yi's attention.

But clearly, Lu Yi did not attract any attention from the other party.

Before long, the group of auctioneers returned, but there was now a tall man in black among them.

The woman in the red gauze dress, who had been earlier, now acted respectfully, leading the man in black to the VIP room at the back, with the others following behind, giving them a grand entrance.

Judging from the metallic clanging sounds emanating from the man in black as he walked, he was most likely a Soul Master.

"With such a grand display, what level of VIP must they be?" Lu Yi wondered to himself.

After waiting for a while, the curfew was lifted, and the security guards moved aside from blocking the door. Without saying anything, they went to stand guard at the end of the corridor.

After leaving the Starlight Auction House, Lu Yi walked back to the Nine Treasures Pavilion.

He has achieved his purpose in coming to Xingluo City and can set off to return to the academy first thing tomorrow morning.

In this way, he can focus on improving his potion-making skills during his vacation.

He has already planted some of the herbs needed for basic potions, and he is just waiting for them to mature so that he can harvest the materials and brew the potions.

As Lu Yi was planning his upcoming vacation, he sensed that someone was following him.

He was standing on a bustling street, with the other person trailing far behind him.

To verify his conjecture, Lu Yi turned and walked across the street, keeping an eye on the people crossing the road out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, shortly after he crossed the street, three suspicious-looking people crossed the road at an angle. Lu Yi had no recollection of two of them, but the shortest one seemed to have been seen at the auction house.

"They're... targeting me?"

Lu Yi knew that at his age, going to high-end places alone without any protection would easily attract the attention of people with impure intentions, and he never expected to run into one.

Lu Yi hated the feeling of being thought about.

Although the opponent's strength is unclear, following so closely as if afraid of getting lost is not the behavior of a master.

So Lu Yi didn't head straight for Jiubaoge, but instead took a slightly off-center route. When he saw an empty alley between buildings, he turned around and went in.

"Disillusionment!"

"Repello muggletum!" (Muggle expulsion)

As the illusion spell was cast, Lu Yi's figure merged directly into the darkness.

The Muggle Exorcism Curse, based on past experiments, can prevent anyone who is not a Soul Master from getting close.

If the other party is a low-level Soul Master, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

If they are high-level Soul Masters, they should learn from this experience and not try to ambush three people by themselves next time.

Sure enough, the three men followed him shortly after he turned into the alley.

Where are they?

The tallest and strongest of the three, seeing the alley empty, asked the thin man in confusion, "I saw him turn in just now!"

Before the skinny man could answer, the shorter of the three looked troubled: "Big brother, I can't be gone for too long, otherwise—"

"Shut up!"

The skinny man shouted at the short man, then turned to the burly man, "Don't worry, brother, this is a dead end. Unless he can fly, there's nowhere to hide!"

"That's good. Such fat sheep are rare; we can't let them escape!"

The burly man nodded slightly, then turned to the short man for a final confirmation: "Are you sure that kid is a Black VIP?"

"Absolutely true. He was wearing a black mask, his clothes were very distinctive, and he sounded quite young. There's no mistake!"

The short man's face was already flushed: "Brother, can I?"

"Stay here and guard this place! What's so great about being a cleaner at an auction house? Once we've slaughtered this fat sheep, I'll pay you ten years' salary!"

The conversation between the three people clearly reached Lu Yi's ears, allowing him to make a basic judgment about their strength.

The strongest was definitely the burly man, followed by the skinny man, while the short man was even affected by the banishment curse, which shows that he was not even a Soul Master, but he provided information to the two of them.

Now that the other party's criminal intent is clear and the evidence is conclusive, Lu Yi no longer needs to hold back.

At this moment, the burly man and the skinny man stepped into the alley side by side, blocking the way out, and simultaneously released their respective martial spirits.

White-yellow-purple and white-yellow-yellow spirit rings rose from beneath their feet, indicating they were two Soul Masters with trash spirit ring configurations.

"How long are you going to hide? Come out obediently, and maybe I'll let you off the hook!"

The burly man brandished his chain hammer martial spirit, grinning maliciously as he shook his head from side to side, the bones in his neck cracking and popping.

The skinny man's eyes turned into vertical pupils, and part of his skin transformed into fine scales. A black venomous snake coiled around his body, and his entire being exuded a sweet, fishy smell.

As the two were walking inside, they saw something light up in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, and he seemed to lose all feeling in his legs. His upper body involuntarily collapsed, and he lay face down on the ground.

Lu Yi pinched his nose, enduring the nauseating stench of blood, and cast a cleansing spell on the ground. Only after the large pool of blood disappeared did he feel a little better.

Stepping over two people dressed as Gojo Satoru, Lu Yi headed straight for the alley entrance.

At this moment, the short man was so frightened by the miserable state of his elder brothers that he turned and ran away without looking back.

Lu Yi naturally wouldn't let the person who provided the information get away with it. Countless people had fallen victim to these people's wickedness, so he pointed the tip of his staff at the other person's back.

"Accio! (Spell of Summons)"

The short man's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, as he was pulled back by a tremendous force, his body folding and flying backward.

As the opponent flew towards him, Lu Yi flicked his wand, and the man was thrown into the alley after turning ninety degrees, landing alongside his two companions.

When the dwarf realized what had happened, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy: "My lord, spare my life! I know I was wrong, I have a...!"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Without wasting a word, Lu Yi pointed his wand at the other party.

"Bombarda! (Big Bombarda!)"
