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

In the room teeming with life, Lu Yi's skin was radiating a pale blue glow.

Under Electrolux's guidance, Lu Yi successfully fused with the Gold of Life.

This process was extremely painful and lengthy. Even though Lu Yi was mentally prepared, he still underestimated the extent of the suffering involved.

He could only try his best to use brain-blocking techniques to dull his senses and isolate himself from the pain.

However, since the root of suffering lies in the sea of ​​the mind, doing so would have negligible effect.

He fainted from the pain, only to be woken up again by the pain, repeating this countless times, and he didn't know how much time had passed.

When consciousness returns, the pain subsides like a receding tide.

Although the increase in level was not significant, Lu Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that his mental perception was at least several times stronger, and his body seemed to have been reborn.

He then realized why he was in so much pain.

It was thought that Electrolux would retain most of the Gold of Life to nourish his soul.

In reality, the vast majority of the Life Gold was used to modify his body, and Electrox only kept a very small portion.

Within the greatly expanded sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Yi faced the increasingly illusory figure of Electrox, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Elder Yi, you could have used more of the Life Gold, why did you leave so little?"

"If it weren't for that library, I would naturally have kept more of the gold of the living to nourish my soul."

Electrolux smiled, a rare occurrence for him: "But with it, I won't lose my soul power while I'm inside. I can sustainably repair my soul with just a small amount of Life Gold, so the rest will naturally be yours."

"I see!"

Lu Yi nodded knowingly, feeling somewhat moved.

Seeing that Electrolux was already very weak, Lu Yi had a thought, and the scene around him began to change.

The lobby outside the library has been reconstructed, but unlike before when it slowly radiated outwards from the ground, this time the entire lobby began to move.

Floors, stairs, walls, pillars, and ceilings are generated simultaneously, which makes the scene "load" many times faster.

Lu Yi himself was shocked, but Electrolux took it for granted.

"The wizards in your world have a unique advantage: their mental strength increases over time, which makes their magic more powerful. This is also a limitation, because there is no other way to improve their magic."

As Electrox spoke, the gray phantom returned to its ghostly form, but this did not prevent him from continuing his explanation to Lu Yi.

"You are different now. In this world, spiritual power not only increases with time, but can also increase through cultivation. Moreover, with the blessing of the Life Gold on your life level, its growth rate is at least twice as fast as before."

"If that's so powerful, doesn't that mean I don't need to cultivate; I can just accumulate experience and still surpass those stronger than me?"

As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain on his forehead. Electrolux had actually hit his forehead with his hand.

"How can you, as my student, harbor such lazy thoughts?"

Lu Yi rubbed his forehead, but couldn't soothe the pain: "Old Yi, I was just joking! Besides, how did you manage to hit me?"

"It is naturally due to the Gold of Life. Here, I am originally a soul, which is not worried about consumption but also cannot be strengthened. However, with the soul energy enhanced by the Gold of Life, I can temporarily solidify the extra energy."

After saying that, Electrolux got back to business.

"The energy you possess, known as soul power, is different from the spiritual power I am familiar with, but they are similar in essence. I have already laid the foundation for your body. If I am not mistaken, once you break through to the Soul Emperor realm, everything will fall into place naturally."

Electrolux floated up gracefully, and before entering the library, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. You can go back now!"

"Ah, this!" Lu Yi smiled helplessly. "It seems Old Master Yi really considers this his home!"

Lu Yi wanted to ask Elder Yi what his earlier prediction was, but since Electrolux wouldn't say, it was clear that there was still no progress.

Although he suffered greatly this time, his improvement was significant, all thanks to Electrolux's efforts. He would have to learn more from him in the future.

However, Electrolux's words also served as a reminder to him.

Since magic power and mental power are directly linked, wouldn't a spirit beast that absorbs mental attributes be more suitable for me than amplification-type spirit rings?

It's a pity that there are very few spirit-attribute soul beasts in this world, and the few spirit-attribute soul beasts that Lu Yi knows are too powerful, so he can't focus his attention on them in a short time.

When Lu Yi opened his eyes again, he found that his skin was covered with a lot of dirt, just like when he absorbed the Xuan Shui Pill.

When you look inside the room, everything seems to become much clearer.

It wasn't just that his eyesight had become sharper; rather, all of his senses had undergone a transformation.

When combined with mental strength, the improvement is far more than a simple addition.

He got up and moved around a bit, feeling exceptionally good.

"I am now—" Lu Yi sensed the changes within himself and pondered to himself, "Am I drifting further and further away from people?"

Of course, this is a positive development. Lu Yi now feels that spending 100,000 gold soul coins was well worth it.

After a quick wash, Lu Yi went downstairs and had a hearty breakfast.

However, when Lu Yi asked the waiter about today's date, the waiter's answer greatly shocked him.

"What? I've been in this room for over twenty days?"

Lu Yi initially thought the other party was joking with him.

"Yes, esteemed guest, you have not left your room for twenty-two days. During this time, the manager discovered that you were in meditation, so he asked me not to disturb you."

But when Lu Yi looked into the waiter's eyes, he was surprised to find fragments of the waiter's thoughts and memories appearing in his mind.

In the waiter's fragmented memories, his room door was always closed, and although he was on call every day, he was actually quite idle.

"More than half a month... idle... getting paid for nothing... awesome!"

"You go ahead and do your work! Don't worry about me."

Lu Yi waved for the other party to leave, while he himself processed the shock in his heart.

He spent more than half a year practicing mind control, but still made little progress.

Just now, without even actively using it, he effortlessly read the memories and inner thoughts of an ordinary person.

"So this is what it truly feels like to have powerful mental strength?"

Lu Yi sighed inwardly, but in his memory, Huo Yuhao didn't even take this long to fuse with the Gold of Life, did he?

But pondering these questions will inevitably yield no answers.

"You can't generalize about people's physical constitutions!"

Lu Yi could only tell himself that, fortunately, there were still three or four days before the start of school, enough time to get back.

His attention then focused on the panel.

Aside from the general casting range, the two specific upgrades to Mind Control are for reading memories and reading thoughts, respectively.

In Lu Yi's view, both options have their merits and are neither superior nor inferior; the difference lies only in their specific uses.

If I were to become a spy someday, improving my memory reading skills might be even more effective.

However, in terms of practicality, mind reading is applicable to almost all situations.

After thinking it through, Lu Yi no longer hesitated.
