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

Xuanzi was completely baffled. He had considered all sorts of special circumstances, but all of them had been rejected.

However, classifying it as a "self-created soul skill" is equally perplexing.

Therefore, instead of engaging in internal strife, it's better to directly ask the parties involved.

After a year of reflection, Lu Yi was well-prepared for this issue.

"Actually, these 'unique skills' are not my own creations, but all inherited from my family, just like the unique skills of the Tang Clan."

As he spoke, Lu Yi took out a book, which was a collection of annotations related to ancient texts that Wang Yan had previously given him to translate.

"This script has been passed down in my family for generations, and the self-created soul skills are the result of continuous accumulation by our ancestors. It's just a pity that the family line is passed down only to one person, and due to the limitations of the quality of the martial soul, the strength is generally not high. Therefore, we have always lived in seclusion until a group of bandits broke into our house..."

Lu Yi's voice choked with emotion as he recalled all the heartbreaking events of his past lives. He then slightly raised his head, as if trying to hold back his tears: "Later, through classes, I learned that those bandits were actually evil spirit masters."

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi and Huo Yuhao were deeply moved.

Although the story sounds a bit bizarre, Xuanzi would only believe a fraction of it if someone else told it.

But the key point is that Lu Yi really understands classical Chinese, which makes this matter inexplicably reasonable, and Xuanzi is now completely convinced.

"Alright, a man doesn't easily shed tears."

Xuanzi sighed and stopped asking questions. Instead, he encouraged him, "Evil Soul Masters are truly despicable. Your talent is a gift from heaven. Strive to enter the Inner Academy as soon as possible and make your own contribution to maintaining peace in this region."

After saying that, Xuanzi waved his hand at the two of them and said, "You can go back now!"

I finally managed to fool everyone!

Lu Yi cupped his hands in farewell to Xuanzi and then left with Huo Yuhao.

"Lu Yi, I never imagined your background was like this. Don't worry, from now on we'll be the best of brothers."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Yi, and finally understood where Lu Yi's many methods came from.

Since it was a family tradition, Huo Yuhao put aside his desire to inquire further.

He is now a member of the Tang Clan, although there are only four of them now, he still abides by the clan rules.

Sects are not like academies. The Tang Sect's secret techniques are not passed on to outsiders. If we put ourselves in their shoes, Lu Yi's family learning is the same.

"It's all in the past!"

Faced with Huo Yuhao's comforting words, Lu Yi had no choice but to agree, but then changed the subject.

"You should also pay more attention to your Senior Brother Bei and Sister Xiaoya, especially Sister Xiaoya. Don't let her carefree attitude fool you; her parents weren't killed in an accident while hunting souls, but were murdered by villains, and the Tang Clan's foundation was also taken away."

Thinking that Tang Ya would likely leave Shrek Academy soon and return to Heaven Dou City to seek revenge.

After that, her Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was fully activated, and she fell into the life of an evil soul master.

If we can intervene in this kind of thing, we should.

It was just a trash sect. Seeking revenge was fine, but becoming evil spirit masters and wreaking havoc on the area was unforgivable.

Huo Yuhao was shocked to hear this; he never imagined that Sister Xiaoya had such an experience.

Although he wondered how Lu Yi knew, Huo Yuhao figured Lu Yi had no reason to lie to him, so he nodded.

"I understand! In our situation, we should help each other out."

In Huo Yuhao's view, many of the people he met at Shrek Academy had tragic backgrounds.

Both Senior Brother Bei and Sister Xiaoya of the Tang Clan have clearly lost their families.

After his mother's death, he lived a life in the White Tiger Duke's mansion worse than that of an orphan.

Wang Dong is indeed much better in comparison. He said that he had an older and a younger father, and that his parents had gone to a faraway place. Isn't this just a well-intentioned excuse from his elders to hide the fact that his parents are dead?

It is said that Sister Lexuan was originally a noblewoman of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but her fate was full of twists and turns.

Lu Yi is also one of them.

Since we are all orphans, it is only right that we help each other.

"By the way, didn't you suggest copying my martial soul before the assessment started? Come to my dorm later, I'd also like to see your soul bone skills."

Huo Yuhao was surprised by Lu Yi's words. He thought that those were Lu Yi's family secrets, so he waved his hand and said, "Lu Yi, these are your family's unique skills, I can't learn them."

"You're wrong!"

Lu Yi interrupted decisively, then retorted with strong words.

"The Tang Clan enjoyed a comfortable life for thousands of years by selling hidden weapons, but after being defeated by the Sun and Moon Sect's soul tools, they still clung to the old mindset and old path they used when they founded the sect. They haven't made any progress for thousands of years, and now they've fallen to this state. Do you think it was inevitable or accidental?"

Huo Yuhao didn't expect the topic to change so quickly, but Lu Yi's question almost tore off the Tang Sect's reputation.

"Teacher Xiaoya has already started to value soul tools, and the Tang Sect's secret techniques will be taught to anyone who enters the sect, but it needs to be kept secret from outsiders."

Out of his instinct to protect the sect, Huo Yuhao retorted.

"Therefore, I have no doubt that the Tang Clan will rise again."

Lu Yi's words completely shut down Huo Yuhao's arguments.

"When I was assisting Professor Wang in his research on ancient books, we made many groundbreaking discoveries. Do you know what my biggest takeaway was?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"My biggest takeaway is that if those sects had chosen to share their research findings, there wouldn't have been so many redundant studies."

Lu Yi continued, "Imagine that the results of your life's research were already discovered hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years ago, but no one chose to share them. And you could learn this knowledge in just half a day. How would you feel?"

"I will..." Huo Yuhao paused briefly to think, then quickly came to the answer, "feel despair."

"So knowledge is essentially meant to be shared, but reality is far less pure than knowledge." Lu Yi patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "That's why I want to see if you can learn my ultimate technique."

Huo Yuhao was deeply moved upon hearing this, feeling that Lu Yi's image grew even more imposing, like the statue at the entrance of the examination hall.

But Lu Yi suddenly remembered Master Yu Xiaogang.

Much of the "original" content in his works is common knowledge for major sects, and he also plagiarized a large amount of research from the Spirit Hall.

This behavior is despicable, but since Lu Yi came into contact with the translation of ancient books and discovered a huge amount of repetitive content, he believes that Yu Xiaogang's public disclosure of this knowledge has indeed promoted the further development of martial spirit research.

It's a case of having bad intentions but doing good deeds!

Of course, there is another extremely slim possibility: that he would rather bear the reputation of seeking fame and fortune than disclose information that ordinary soul masters cannot access.

As the two walked outside the examination field, Huo Yuhao saw Bei Bei and He Caitou chatting amiably. Both of them were his senior brothers, one from the Tang Sect and the other from Teacher Fan Yu of the Soul Guidance Department.

Bei Bei started the conversation by mentioning Huo Yuhao, discussing Tang Sect's future plans to develop in the direction of soul tools, which piqued He Caitou's interest.

So naturally, He Caitou joined the Tang Clan and became its fifth member.

After the simple welcoming ceremony that evening, He Caitou privately confessed to Huo Yuhao his identity as the former prince of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Brother He, to be honest, we're both orphans!"

Huo Yuhao patted He Caitou on the shoulder.

"Welcome to the Tang Clan family!"
