Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 182 Another Battle with Tang San

The three teams each occupied one side of the square, gazing at each other from afar.

In the upcoming one-on-one challenge, the Spirit Hall Academy team, with the highest spirit power level, undoubtedly has the greatest advantage among these three teams.

In a one-on-one situation, any Soul King from the Spirit Hall Academy team could defeat everyone except Lu Mingfei and Tang San.

This rendered all tactical arrangements meaningless. The final decisive factor in the battle lay solely with the strongest member of each of the three teams, or more precisely, with the newly emerged Spirit Hall Saintess, Qian Renxue.

Just how strong is she? That became the key to deciding the outcome.

A row of gilded chairs was placed in front of the Papal Palace. Bibi Dong sat in the center, with Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, on her left, and Ju Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Gui Mei, the Ghost Douluo, on her right.

"Your Excellency Bone Douluo, which team do you favor?" Bibi Dong asked calmly.

Bone Douluo shook his head slightly: "Why would Your Holiness ask such a question? With the Holy Maiden present, the outcome is self-evident."

Bone Douluo couldn't see through Qian Renxue's cultivation level, but that didn't mean he couldn't sense the subtle threat emanating from her. The Qian family, the Angel Clan, was terrifying indeed.

Soon, the first-place players from all three teams stood in the center of the square.

However, unexpectedly, Qian Renxue, Tang San, and Lu Mingfei all chose to appear in the first round.

It was clear that the North Koreans were approaching the battle with the attitude that the first battle would be the decisive one.

In Qian Renxue's eyes, apart from Lu Mingfei, everyone else was nothing but chickens and dogs, easily defeated, so there was no need for tactics.

Tang San had no choice. His teammates were too weak, and they would lose no matter who he went up against. So he decided to go up himself. If he was lucky, he would run into Lu Mingfei soon. If he was unlucky and got caught in a series of attacks, he would have to surrender and go straight to the loser's bracket.

In this way, letting the Spirit Hall and Lu Mingfei fight to the death will benefit them regardless of the outcome.

As for Lu Mingfei, he had a similar idea to Tang San. He knew that this Holy Maiden must have come with the mission of defeating him, and as long as he took the stage, she would definitely take the bait.

Therefore, he planned to first assess the strength of this Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. If she was too troublesome, he would simply forfeit and enter the loser's bracket, then eliminate the unstable factor of Shrek Academy, and wait until tomorrow to have a decisive battle with the Spirit Hall team.

The three stood facing each other in the center of the square. Tang San looked at the two enemies in front of him with icy eyes.

Heaven has eyes; it has been kind to him.

This saintess is definitely related to Qian Xunji, who killed his mother. Whether he defeats Lu Mingfei in front of the whole continent or defeats this saintess instead, he can get revenge.

Deep down, he even hoped to meet this saintess, since Lu Mingfei could challenge her at any time in Tiandou, but he didn't know when he would meet her again.

However, when the lottery results came out, all three of them couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

"I knew it." Lu Mingfei scratched his head as he looked at the small ball in Qian Renxue's hand that represented a bye. As a loser, he had never drawn a lucky draw in his life, and this time was no exception.

As for Qian Renxue, she was a bit flustered. She had prepared herself to defeat Lu Mingfei first and then kill Tang San, but she ended up getting a bye.

"Tang Yin and Lu Mingfei, please get ready. Qian Renxue, please leave the stage for now. The competition will officially begin in three minutes."

The referee announced the clearing of the field, and the first round of the individual elimination tournament officially began.

"This day has finally come." Tang San stood opposite Lu Mingfei and took a deep breath. It had been eight years since he was six years old.

Lu Mingfei was like an inescapable shadow hanging over his life, and today the time for his death had finally come. He vowed to overcome this shadow and let everyone know that he, Tang San, was the true number one genius of the Douluo Continent.

Looking at the familiar person in front of him who he had so easily crushed, Lu Mingfei showed no contempt or disdain due to his superior status; instead, he appeared solemn.

When he first came to this world, he didn't have much of an impression of Tang San, but who would have thought that he would turn out so badly later, becoming petty, narrow-minded, and prone to backstabbing.

So he chose to ignore them as much as possible, but as a result, this guy and that master were like toads stuck to his feet, and he could only kick them further away to teach them a lesson each time.

He never underestimated his opponent, but he could never be too cautious of someone who had the same cheat codes as him, or even someone who had the protagonist's template.

Even the Holy Maiden Qian Renxue might not be as threatening as Tang San.

Everyone around sensed Lu Mingfei's serious preparation; even Pope Bibi Dong was surprised.

Although Tang Yin possesses an external soul bone comparable to a Soul King, it's not enough for Lu Mingfei to treat him with such caution.

"Both sides release their martial spirits."

At the referee's command, Lu Mingfei and Tang San simultaneously released their martial souls.

Tang San's Blue Silver King was far different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Due to the integration of various animal soul rings, it looked like a pure black plant vine, but strange silver patterns could be vaguely seen on it.

He immediately avoided Lu Mingfei's gaze and began to circulate his Xuan Tian Gong. His experience of repeated defeats made him realize the necessity of avoiding Lu Mingfei's sharp edge when facing him. He was no longer that impulsive young man.

However, he clearly underestimated Lu Mingfei's seriousness about this match.

His blazing golden eyes suddenly ignited, instantly stirring up an invisible storm across the world, and an uncontrollable majesty swept out in an instant.

"How is that possible!"

Tang San was horrified. Even though he had pushed the Xuan Tian Gong to its limit, he could still feel the chilling and majestic aura that went straight to his soul, and even his thoughts seemed to freeze for a moment.

This pressure was several times stronger than in the previous matches, and even his martial spirit was trembling. If it weren't for more than a year of tempering his killing intent, he would probably have lost his will to fight by now.

The cardinals present, even those who were titled Douluo, couldn't help but change their expressions.

Although the information they had collected before had described it in detail, they realized how inadequate and pale words were after personally experiencing the overwhelming suppression of that martial spirit today.

With such a terrifying martial soul, if he were to reach the Title Douluo level, who in the world could be his match?

"The match begins!" The referee, recovering from his shock, immediately announced the start of the match.

"Drink!" Tang San immediately unleashed the Eight Spider Lances on his back to resist the terrifying pressure.

At the same time, the first spirit ring lit up instantly, and thick blue silver grass burst out of the ground and surged towards Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei immediately condensed ice blades and slashed, transforming them into an impenetrable net of swords, causing countless blue silver grasses to dissipate into fragments of soul light.

But this was exactly what Tang San wanted.

Endless and continuous—this is the greatest characteristic of the Blue Silver King Martial Soul. He had never pushed it to its limit in previous matches, all for the sake of giving Lu Mingfei a surprise now.
