Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 191 Qian Renxue's Scheme

In front of the Papal Palace, the Tian Dou Royal Academy team stood in a row, with Dugu Bo, Bai Baoshan, Sun Buyu, Yu Feng, and their accompanying teachers behind them.

Although they were all very excited, they couldn't be impolite in front of the Pope.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, like a daughter-in-law finally becoming a mother-in-law after many years of hardship. It was finally over, and he had lived up to the trust placed in him by the three education commissioners.

The cardinal, acting as the referee, announced loudly: "Please have the representative of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy come forward to receive the championship prize."

Lu Mingfei looked at Yu Tianheng, who shook his head. Although he also wanted to enjoy this honor, he knew that Lu Mingfei was the one who should rightfully accept it.

To be honest, their standing still actually hindered Lu Mingfei's damage output.

Lu Mingfei naturally understood the look in his teammates' eyes. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and finally took a deep breath and walked towards the Pope.

The sooner it ends, the sooner we'll be free.

When he stepped forward, he couldn't help but marvel at how well the Pope had maintained his youthful appearance; he was even more ageless than Lin Chi-ling.

So how did she fall for the master back then? Could it be that the master was actually the type of Shan Cai when he was young?

Bibi Dong was unaware of Lu Mingfei's inner thoughts. At this moment, she looked at Lu Mingfei with admiration. Putting aside all positions, even she had to admit that Lu Mingfei was the most talented Soul Master she had ever seen, and perhaps he could reach that level.

"Lu Mingfei, you are outstanding, even more outstanding than I imagined. It's no wonder Xiaoxue lost to you." Bibi Dong admitted frankly.

Qian Renxue stood to the side with her arms crossed, not saying a word, but just looking at Lu Mingfei with a very complicated expression.

Feeling uncomfortable under their gazes, Lu Mingfei quickly chuckled and said, "Your Holiness is too kind. I was just lucky."

"If we explain it by luck, then it would be too unfair to the efforts of the young soul masters who participated in this grand event." Bibi Dong shook her head softly.

"However, it's truly commendable that you can maintain such a humble and composed attitude. I'd like to ask you, are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?"

"With your qualifications, it wouldn't be unreasonable for you to take my place in the future."

The crowd on the field: "!!!!?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering if they had misheard. They never imagined that the Pope would say such a thing in person, especially in front of Qian Renxue, the Holy Maiden who represented the orthodox lineage of the Spirit Hall's Angels.

What surprised them even more was that the Holy Maiden did not object, and even seemed to be thinking.

Bone Douluo, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. The Spirit Hall had actually gone to such lengths for Lu Mingfei? It was practically price gouging and market disruption!

Bai Baoshan, Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and the others behind him all gasped in shock. Although they were on opposing sides, they felt an urge to immediately step forward and agree on Lu Mingfei's behalf.

What a huge sugar-coated bullet!

Lu Mingfei felt as if a golden meteorite was crashing down on him from the sky. He thought to himself that this was not a pleasant surprise, but a terrifying shock.

Moreover, anyone who believes this kind of empty promise is a three-year-old, okay?

Lu Mingfei had reason to suspect that this first non-royal pope in a thousand years was preparing to drag him into a power struggle with the Qian family, who represented orthodoxy.

After all, the saintess next to him is the most legitimate person to inherit the papacy. If he really believes her, he'll probably be played to death later.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my ambitions lie elsewhere," Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head, cupped his hands in farewell, and declined.

After all, this joke had gone too far. He didn't want to get involved in the power struggle of the Spirit Hall without even realizing it. Besides, this kind of thing wasn't very appealing to him at all; just thinking about it was troublesome.

Bibi Dong sighed inwardly, but she wasn't surprised: "Fine, you do have the aptitude to pursue a higher realm. In that case, I wish you can enter the Douluo Hall soon."

As she spoke, she took the brocade tray from the hands of a maid from the Spirit Hall, on which was a one million gold soul coin stored-value card that was valid in all the battle arenas across the continent.

For any organization capable of participating and winning, this monetary reward is nothing; it's merely a formality, better than nothing.

However, for Lu Mingfei, this kind of tangible reward is much more real than any pie in the sky.

With eight people, each person could earn an average of 120,000 yuan. Adding the 100,000 yuan performance fee from last time, he could finally be considered a well-off member of the petty bourgeoisie.

When Bibi Dong saw the smile on Lu Mingfei's face as he accepted the prepaid card, she couldn't help but shake her head.

However, before she could announce the end, several unusually strong fluctuations of soul power suddenly came from the open fields not too far outside Wuhun City.

"What's going on?" Bibi Dong frowned and immediately looked at Qian Renxue. Apart from her, only Grand Elder Qian Daoliu in Wuhun City could mobilize Title Douluos.

Qian Renxue met Bibi Dong's gaze but only sneered.

Bone Douluo and Dugu Bo's expressions changed drastically. Others might not know, but they were very clear that one of the soul powers was coming from Tang Hao's aura!

"Wow, there's even a closing performance?" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected there to be an unexpected surprise in addition to the prize money.

If he wasn't mistaken, Tang San's identity had been exposed?

He was originally worried that Tang Hao would wait for him to leave the city and then ambush him, but now it seems that he can breathe a sigh of relief.

In the wilderness, the auras emanating from four figures surrounded Tang San and Tang Hao's carriage.

"dad!"

Tang San huddled in the carriage, his face pale and his whole body numb. He had just been looking forward to intercepting Lu Mingfei that night to avenge himself.

How did it suddenly become an ambush among them?

Tang Hao knew that they had probably been exposed long ago, but he didn't have time to think about which link had gone wrong.

They must get Tang San away as quickly as possible, otherwise they will all die when the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall surround them.

"drink!"

Tang Hao's hoarse roar echoed across the wilderness, and a Haotian Hammer, hundreds of meters long and as big as a small mountain, shot into the sky, with red soul light instantly climbing up its body.

He chose to launch a preemptive attack, breaking the connection between the four.

In an instant, even the air distorted, and a red light enveloped the heavens and the earth, even affecting the distant Martial Soul City.

This was the first time Lu Mingfei had witnessed Tang Hao's power firsthand, and it truly lived up to its reputation.

Qian Renxue, standing to the side, did not change her expression despite the terrifying power. She already knew from Ning Fengzhi that Tang Hao had been suffering from a persistent injury.

Today, they even managed to get two enshrined elders and two other deities to join forces in a coordinated attack. With such an inescapable trap, Tang Hao is certain to die!
