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

A loud bang amplified through the alley, becoming deafening, followed by the splattering sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

A strong smell of blood, burnt food, and foul odor filled the air.

"Scourgify!"

The cleansing spell Lu Yi cast this time covered a large area, and the unpleasant smell in the alley disappeared along with the scattered bloodstains and bits of flesh, as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't that nothing happened, because the ground and walls of the alley looked as if they had been scrubbed inch by inch, with years of accumulated dust and grime disappearing without a trace.

Lu Yi dispelled the invisibility spell, took off his black coat, and lightly tapped the coat with the tip of his staff, instantly changing its color and style.

He put his coat back on, thus dispelling the "Muggle Expulsion Charm," and strode away from the area.

At this moment, Lu Yi's heart was far from as calm as it appeared. He hurriedly returned to the top-floor suite of Jiubaoge and went straight into the bathroom.

After washing away the non-existent filth covering his body, his emotions calmed down slightly.

Taking out the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife again, Lu Yi took a deep breath and entered the magic library in his mind.

Once the familiar scene is reconstructed, push open the library's rustic wooden door.

Electrolux, as usual, pretended to be sitting on the large sofa while reading books on the bookshelf.

Lu Yi put on a smile and approached Electrolux: "Old Electrolux, guess what good stuff I've gotten my hands on?"

Electrolux raised his head slightly upon hearing this.

Lu Yi saw a hint of surprise, and a hint of relief, in his normally calm eyes.

"You...did you bleed today?"

"Old Master Yi, how could you—" Lu Yi's eyes widened, then he seemed relieved. "Alright, it's not surprising that you could tell!"

"You should know that, with my research on the soul, it is not difficult for me to see this."

Electrolux was not being arrogant when he said this. Although Lu Yi exists in the form of consciousness, his soul is his physical body.

Compared to his previous pure and flawless soul, Lu Yi's current soul is as obvious as a black dot on a white sheet of paper.

This situation may gradually fade or even disappear over time, or it may gradually worsen.

The root cause is that the magic Lu Yi uses demands a high degree of purity of spirit and soul.

To remain pure, the black parts on the white paper gradually dissolve.

Once the black part expands and crosses a certain threshold, it will assimilate the white part.

According to Electrolux's prediction, this situation would not occur as long as Lu Yi did not use the spell to kill continuously in the short term.

Of course, there are exceptions. There is a spell that only needs to be used successfully once to corrupt a person with a weak mind and make them cross that threshold.

Judging from Lu Yi's current situation, his will is very firm.

"Tell me what happened!" Electrox had been spending a lot of time in the library, and he was always very patient with Lu Yi whenever he came.

Lu Yi nodded upon hearing this and then recounted how he had won the Gold of Life at the auction, how he had been followed afterward, and how he had dealt with the three people involved, which prompted Electrox to nod repeatedly.

"You did a good job. When faced with a threat, you must resolve the issue with decisive action."

Electrolux affirmed, while also comforting Lu Yi: "No matter what world you're in, once you embark on the path of cultivation, you'll inevitably experience these kinds of things. You didn't involve any innocent people, which shows that you're not a bad person."

Lu Yi knew, of course, that such things were inevitable, but the image just wouldn't leave his mind.

"I have so many tricks up my sleeve, but I got carried away in the moment. Looking back now, I shouldn't have used the Explosion Spell."

After regaining his senses, Lu Yi also felt some regret.

Even though the scene had been cleaned up, I still felt uneasy.

"Lu Yi, I have a clean method that would be perfect for you. I wonder if you'd be interested in learning it?" Electrolux began to probe Lu Yi's intentions.

When he first met Lu Yi a year ago, he felt that this child was different.

After learning about Lu Yi's original world, he realized that no one was more suitable than Lu Yi to inherit his necromancy.

Whether something is possible or not is not just a matter of innate talent; whether one can accept it psychologically is also an important factor.

He was initially worried that Lu Yi's high moral standards would conflict with his necromancy.

So Electrox made up his mind that once Lu Yi obtained the Gold of Life, he would tell him about his origins and ask Lu Yi if he would accept his necromancy.

"Please speak, Elder Yi!"

Lu Yi had a rough idea of ​​what Electrolux's method was, but he still said it that way.

"I was originally a remnant soul. Although my spiritual consciousness was at a high level, it was extremely weak. Fortunately, this place has preserved my soul and some memories, even if I only exist in the form of a ghost."

Electrolux's translucent spirit rose up, his expression more solemn than ever before.

"During this time, I often think back to what kind of person I was in my previous life. In my remaining memories, two of my three abilities already had successors in my original world, but my highest level of necromancy has yet to be passed on."

A look of reminiscence flashed across Electrox's face, then his aura became sharper than ever before.

"Back then, I was young, and blinded by hatred, I made a terrible mistake, for which I earned the name—the Scourge!"

Electrolux's fierce aura subsided, and he even smiled slightly.

"However, this name is too murderous. After all, I am someone who combines necromancy and light magic, and I prefer to be called the Holy God of Necromancy!"

Electrolux chose to reveal his identity and past, then looked directly into Lu Yi's eyes, regaining his serious demeanor.

"In your world, I'd probably be known as the most evil dark lord in history, and necromancy would be taboo just from the name alone. Would you still want to learn it?"

Lu Yi neither showed excessive enthusiasm nor rejection regarding Electrolux's question.

He simply looked directly into Electrolux's eyes.

"Elder Yi, I have no right to judge your past, and knowledge itself is neither right nor wrong, but—"

Lu Yi was interested in necromancy, but after hearing what Electrox said, he had a new idea: "However, compared to necromancy, I am more interested in the methodology and related experience of combining mutually exclusive abilities."

Seemingly surprised by Lu Yi's answer, Electrolux paused for a moment before laughing.

"You understand things even better than I did. I will pass on my experience, but the methodology must be studied and experienced firsthand to gain true knowledge. It cannot be taught verbally. So, how about it? Would you like to inherit my necromancy?"

Lu Yi did not hesitate and bowed respectfully.

"Professor, I want to learn this!"
