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

Upon hearing the cost of the flying broom, Huo Yuhao initially thought he had misheard.

Five Gintama coins?

What's the difference between this and not giving it away for free?

It should be noted that even the most ordinary soul tool costs tens of gold soul coins just for the metal materials alone.

When it comes to flying soul tools, because they need to use lightweight and resilient rare metals, the cost instantly reaches nearly a thousand gold soul coins.

Furthermore, the so-called enchantment process is far too short compared to carving the core magic circle.

Anyone with a clear mind could realize at this moment just how enormous this thing's potential is.

Lu Yi, however, thought about it more deeply.

While the fact that flying brooms don't use soul power to drive them is an advantage, it also limits their potential.

If enchanting techniques and soul tools can be combined, one can levitate and fly without power on ordinary days, and accelerate using soul power in emergencies.

In this way, not only can the threshold for using flying soul tools be greatly reduced, but the upper limit can also be greatly increased.

Achieving this is actually not difficult; the principle is similar to that of a flying broom, except that the enchantment position needs to be redesigned to ensure a stable center of gravity.

Moreover, the same principle can be applied to wearable protective gear, providing Soul Masters with the ability to maneuver in the air.

Extending this further, we get to mechs.

Lu Yi knew that with the current technology, even if a mecha were made, it would not be comparable to a battle armor. However, just providing defense and flight capabilities would be enough to transform a mid-level Soul Master.

Although Lu Yi also wanted to be Iron Man, he was currently focusing all his energy on improving his magic and cultivation.

However, he hadn't forgotten that Huo Yuhao, who stood in front of him, was the original Iron Man of Douluo Continent.

This is such a useful cow—no, such a talented person! We can't let it go to waste!

Immediately, Lu Yi shared some of his thoughts with the other party.

"Lu Yi, that 'Iron Man' you mentioned is truly the most imaginative idea I've ever heard!"

Huo Yuhao was beyond excited. Just hearing Lu Yi's novel ideas was enough to enlighten him, and he knew that they had great potential.

Although he was only a newly initiated Soul Master, he already had some understanding of most types of Soul Tools.

They are simply various types of launching soul tools with different effects, active or passive defensive soul tools, melee soul tools with various types of damage, and other soul tools with different uses.

However, mechs can combine different types of soul tools, integrating melee, ranged, attack, defense, support, and flight capabilities.

Isn't this exactly the same as the extreme solo plan that my senior brother revealed to me earlier today?

Huo Yuhao really wanted to drag Lu Yi to find Teacher Fanyu right away, but reason told him that with his current level, it was too early to study this so-called mecha.

Lu Yi could understand why Huo Yuhao was so excited.

After all, the allure of piloting a mecha is simply too great. Which teenager wouldn't want to be Iron Man? Or pilot a Gundam?

"Old Huo! You know I have no interest in building soul tools from scratch."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's excited gestures, Lu Yi poured cold water on his enthusiasm, but then changed the subject: "However, I'd be quite willing to tinker with some finished soul tools. Let me study enchanting more in depth!"

Huo Yuhao knew he couldn't persuade Lu Yi, but he was already very happy.

With Lu Yi's ability to enchant, mechs might not be as far away as he imagined.

"Then I'll let you tinker with the soul tool I made!"

The two can be described as one daring to make demands and the other daring to give.

After seeing Huo Yuhao off, Zhou Sichen indeed became interested in the Iron Man that Lu Yi had mentioned earlier.

"Lu Yi, is it really possible to make that 'Iron Man' you mentioned?"

"Why not?"

Lu Yi countered, "Not just life-size mechs, but what if we made an ultra-large mech that could be piloted by multiple people, with one person driving and the others attacking, and the whole body equipped with fixed soul-guided cannons? What would that look like?"

After saying this, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but fall into a fantasy, but unfortunately, with his limited knowledge, he still couldn't imagine the scene Lu Yi described.

"If you guys ever actually manage to pull this off, could we have a go at it too?"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "Then we'll have to see how you perform!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen immediately started acting silly and excited.

"I will remain loyal at all times!"

Lu Yi didn't intend to continue the topic.

After all, this is still far from being finalized, and bringing it up now is just planting a seed in advance.

Whether it can sprout or when it will grow into a big tree is not really relevant to him at the moment.

Lying down on the bed, Lu Yi opened the control panel.

Name: Lu Yi

Title: Senior Wizard Apprentice

[Exclusive Ability: Magic Library]

[Spells (Aspiring Wizard): Click to view mastered potions]

[Potions (Beginner): Click to view potion skills already mastered]

[Dark Magic and Defense (Aspiring Wizard): Click to view mastered spells]

Transfiguration (Advanced Apprentice)

[Dark Magic (Aspiring Wizard): Cruciatus Curse Lv.2 (Upgradeable)]

[Magic Enchantment (Beginner): Flying Broom Crafting Lv.2]

[Magic Items: Wand (Soul Bound), Flying Broomstick (Quality: White)]

(Raise Potions and Transfiguration to the Associate Wizard level to unlock the formal Wizard Examination)

A new black magic skill has appeared on the panel, and it starts at the level of a near-wizard.

Lu Yi focused his mind on black magic, and the upgrade panel appeared.

【Heart-Piercing Bone-Splitting Lv.2 (Successful casting is considered perfect)】

[The Crucifix can be upgraded; credit: 1]

[Additional Duration: 0 (Increases by 5 seconds per point, no channeling required)]

[Soul Cruelty: 0 (Each point unlocks 20% increased pain cap)]

[Mental Defense Penetration: 0 (Each point ignores 20% of mental defense)]

(Note: Soul Destruction and Mental Defense Penetration have a high probability of causing the target's soul to collapse when they reach six points, and will directly destroy the soul when they reach ten points. Please use them with caution.)

When Lu Yi saw the upgrade options and related prompts this time, he felt that the style of the scene had changed.

What does it mean for a successful cast to be considered perfect?

What exactly is this "ignoring mental defenses" thing?

Reaching ten points can destroy the soul; isn't that a killing curse?

I have to say, the Unforgivable Curse is awesome!

Lu Yi now understood why it was so difficult for wizards to use ordinary spells to defeat their enemies once they used the Unforgivable Curse.

This thing is just too simple and straightforward; even the control panel is tempting him to slack off.

However, he also realized that if he used the Unforgivable Curse without restraint, wouldn't he be just like those evil spirit masters who indiscriminately kill innocent people in order to take shortcuts?

It must be a test that the panel is putting on itself!

In the end, Lu Yi chose to allocate his points to mental defense penetration.

[Mental Defense Penetration: 0 (-0% Mental Defense) - Mental Defense Penetration: 1 (-20% Mental Defense)]
