The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 123 The Destroyer of Transportation

"Escaping is shameful, but it's very useful."

Chu Zihang's face was so innocent that even when he said such things, it was impossible to dislike him.

Gu Yuena looked away and nodded slightly.

For the rest of the journey, the two fell silent.

Just as they were about to leave the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, Lu Mingfei glanced at the sky and said, "We need to hurry, or we'll really have to camp out in the wild."

Although Lu Mingfei would sometimes spend the whole night lost in thought on the rooftop, he had never actually slept outdoors in the wild.

Gu Yuena's response was somewhat strange: "Why do you use such a face?"

Lu Mingfei tilted his head: "Hmm?"

Why use Senior Brother Chu's face? Of course, it's because among the people he knows, only Senior Brother Chu is handsome and wouldn't mind him using his image rights without permission!

Actually, Lu Mingfei had considered Caesar, but the blond strong man and stuff, it seems that Huo Yuhao's ancestor, the God of War Dai Mubai who was good brothers with Tang San, also had this kind of image, right?

Huo Yuhao dislikes the White Tiger Duke.

Therefore, Caesar is obviously not suitable.

As for the others—

The principal is too old. Although he is an old gentleman, Lu Mingfei is not confident in his ability to disguise himself as an old man. The little devil Lu Mingze is too young, and he dislikes the fat Lu Mingze. Fingel is too slovenly, and if it were known, he might be taken advantage of, although as long as he doesn't say anything, no one will find out.

He's only familiar with a few people, so he can't possibly turn them into girls, can he?

Therefore, the most suitable one is definitely Senior Brother Chu!

"Do you still think I look too handsome? Are you upset about it?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.

Gu Yuena sighed, "It's nothing."

She actually wanted to ask if the face she was seeing now belonged to "Mingfei" herself, but it seemed she couldn't get an answer.

Given this guy's cautious nature, he probably won't reveal his true form in this world, right?

"How about I get a new face?" Lu Mingfei said. "It's okay, it's not a hassle anyway."

At worst, he can just use the face of his useless senior brother. Anyway, that guy can't travel to this world to collect royalties from him.

"No need," Gu Yuena said curtly. "Didn't we say we were going to leave quickly?"

After saying that, she grabbed Lu Mingfei by the back of his collar, took off, and flew him out of the forest.

Lu Mingfei felt a sudden tightening around his neck, and he was lifted off the ground. The wind whistled in his ears, and the trees in front of him turned into blurry green shadows that flew backward.

He was completely bewildered.

Why does this female dragon seem angry?

It took more than an hour to get out of the core circle, but only three minutes to fly from the edge of the core circle to outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lu Mingfei landed dizzily, raising his hand to rub his face, which had become stiff from the wind.

"Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry?" Lu Mingfei mumbled vaguely, wiping the corner of his mouth.

He felt his face was numb from the wind, and he was even drooling a little when he spoke.

Why is this mother dragon angry?!

It's amazing!

"Let's go." Gu Yuena didn't want to pay attention to Lu Mingfei and found a direction to walk straight ahead.

Lu Mingfei secretly rolled his eyes and silently followed.

Never mind, although I don't know why the mother dragon is angry, I'd better not argue with her.

Lu Mingfei has recently been relearning Huo Yuhao's various skills, and he can now use his mental power fluently. Therefore, he activated his mental detection to calculate how long it would take to reach the nearest town.

He glanced at Gu Yuena's retreating figure.

At their current speed, it would take them more than three hours to reach the nearest town.

"You've been hiking for so long?"

Lu Mingfei's lips twitched.

He now feels they might need some means of transportation.

Does Huo Yuhao have a flying soul tool in his storage soul tool?

After searching for a while, Lu Mingfei successfully found the flying soul tool.

Based on Huo Yuhao's memories, Lu Mingfei tried to operate it. He carried the flying soul tool on his back, and a pair of metal wings unfolded. He input his soul power, and cyan patterns lit up on the wing surface, propelling him into the air.

"Wow!" Lu Mingfei cheered.

Indeed, humans crave wings; the feeling of flying on your own is different from being carried along.

However, Lu Mingfei seems to have a curse of "always crashing his car" on him. Not long after he took off, his flying soul tool malfunctioned, spinning him around in circles, crashing into several giant trees before landing headfirst.

Now it was Gu Yuena's turn to have her lips twitch.

Is this guy reliable or not?

Lu Mingfei struggled to his feet, and touched his neck in fear.

Thankfully, although the landing posture was not good, it did not have any impact on the body, and the neck was not broken.

The materials used in the flying soul tool were of good quality, and Lu Mingfei hadn't flown very high before falling down. So, although the thing was in disarray and one of the metal wings was missing, it should still be usable after some repairs.

"This thing," he said, wiping his face, "used to work perfectly."

"Do you have any spares?" Gu Yuena asked.

After searching through his storage soul tool, Lu Mingfei finally found another usable flying soul tool.

"This is also a single-person soul tool," Gu Yuena said helplessly. "You think I'd carry you like that?"

Lu Mingfei:

Can I politely decline?

But he really didn't want to walk for more than three hours.

It was already dark by then!

"How about this," Lu Mingfei racked his brains and finally came up with a good idea, "can you teach me?"

"Don't you think it's absurd?" Gu Yuena retorted irritably.

I don't think so.

Gu Yuena was speechless.

So this guy really isn't Huo Yuhao, is he? What kind of soul master doesn't know how to use a soul tool and needs to be taught how to use it by a soul beast who has never used a soul tool before?

However, Gu Yuena didn't want to waste too much time on the road, so she had to make full use of her initiative and learned how to use the flying soul tool in just five minutes.

"How did you manage to break this thing?!" Gu Yuena hovered beside Lu Mingfei, looking at him with a face full of surprise.

The full name of this flying soul tool is "Basic Backpack Flying Soul Tool". It is very simple to use. Just carry it on your back, open the metal wings, and then inject soul power.

Gu Yuena has even learned to brake suddenly in mid-air and take extreme corners in just five minutes!

"Did you not pay attention to the amount of soul power you were injecting?" Gu Yuena asked.

Lu Mingfei blinked and pondered, "So, did I inject too much soul power?"

He really didn't handle this quantity well.

"And it requires a continuous infusion of soul power during use. You didn't forget about that halfway through, did you?" Gu Yuena asked again.

"Uh—" Lu Mingfei's eyes darted around.

Huo Yuhao didn't have this detail in his memory, so it's normal that he didn't grasp it.

So, I really need to study the manufacture and use of soul tools properly—even though I'm a humanities student—

Having learned the reason for the mistake, Lu Mingfei carefully took out another flying soul tool—seriously, why does Huo Yuhao have so many flying soul tools?!

In short, the two successfully reached the nearest town.

"This town belongs to the Star Luo Empire, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at the simple town and found that the people here were still using oil lamps and candles for lighting.

Soul Masters in Douluo Three Kingdoms seem to really resist Soul Tools. Although Soul Tools in the Sun Moon Empire haven't spread to rural areas, in ordinary towns, wherever there are Soul Masters, there are a certain number of everyday Soul Tools in daily life.

However, even in the homes of Soul Masters in this small town, there are very few Soul Guidance Devices for lighting.

Is it because the soul tools here are very expensive, and ordinary soul masters can't afford them?

"Staying stuck in the past will only lead to certain death," Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh.

He suddenly felt that learning soul tool technology in Douluo Three Kingdoms was like a "Westernization Movement" in another world. Although the idea was to "learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians", it was fraught with difficulties in practice.

"This moment is just like that moment."

The development of each world has a remarkably similar trajectory.

Lu Mingfei and Gu Yuena found a hotel that looked decent and settled in.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had Huo Yuhao's savings, otherwise he might have been embarrassingly kicked out and forced to sleep on the streets.

"Good night, meet downstairs at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Lu Mingfei yawned, pushed open the door to his single room and went inside.

Gu Yuena looked silently at the still bright sky outside.

Is this guy really reliable?!

However, Lu Mingfei was feeling lazy, and she also felt a bit exhausted today, so she simply went to her room to rest.

Starry Sky Forest, on the shore of Lake of Life.

Di Tian originally planned to show Lu Mingfei and Gu Yuena their latest research results, but before they even reached Lu Mingfei's cabin, Gu Yuena informed them that they were going on a trip.

He looked helplessly at the yellow ball of light in his palm and sighed.

"Alright, once the sect leader and the others return, perhaps we'll be able to develop a thousand-year soul ring, or even a ten-thousand-year one isn't out of the question."

After conducting in-depth research on the soul rings of Wang Qiu'er, Xiao Xiao, and He Caitou, Di Tian and the others discovered that the soul rings contained a large amount of pure soul power, as well as a small portion of the souls of soul beasts.

"So, this is why your Wisdom Soul Ring Project was able to succeed, Tianmeng?" Di Tian asked.

Tianmeng snorted coldly before arrogantly saying, "During the years I was imprisoned, I used my mental power to observe the process of spirit rings appearing quite a bit, so I discovered this a long time ago."

"But why are you able to exist independently of your spirit rings?" Brigitte asked in confusion.

Tianmeng's essence is Huo Yuhao's spirit ring, but even if he leaves the spirit ring, he can still exist.

Just like now, even though he's not on Huo Yuhao, he can still move around normally and even use his soul skills on his own.

"Because a spirit ring only contains a portion of a spirit beast's soul. Even if that portion of the soul is separated, it can be transformed into a spirit like mine if handled properly," Tianmeng explained. "Don't try to get close to me; you absorbed quite a bit of my soul power back then."

"I'm sorry." Brigitte's gaze softened as she apologized without hesitation.

Tianmeng didn't expect Biji to be so decisive, but his heart was only for Bingdi, and he wouldn't waver because of Biji. So he just snorted and stopped talking to Biji.

"Getting back to the main point," Di Tian steered the conversation, "If that's the case, then if we want to condense a soul ring on our own, we need to separate a portion of our soul?"

The soul is very intricate and mysterious. Only when Tianmeng was exhausted and had nowhere else to turn did she dare to take such a gamble and sacrifice herself to Huo Yuhao.

These soul beasts are all alive and well now, and Di Tian has a way to help them escape the heavenly tribulation.

They dared not gamble on the possibility that splitting the soul would not cause any aftereffects.

A single misoperation can result in anything from a damaged soul and weakened strength to death.

"How could a soul be divided?" Tianmeng shook her head. "Even the most resilient soul can only withstand being divided a few times."

Even someone like Electrolux, a former demigod, was in a daze after his soul was shattered.

Which of them present possesses Electrolux's strength and mastery of the soul?

How dare they split their souls like this? Do they think they're dying too slowly?

"What Yuhao wants is a method to continuously produce soul rings, not to turn disposable items into consumable items that can be used three or four times," Tianmeng said. "Therefore, what we need to develop is something that can replace soul fragments in the function of soul rings."

Everyone present, including the spirit beasts, was stunned.

What can replace the soul?

The very existence of such an idea is absurd!

"Di Tian, ​​have you seen the divinely bestowed soul ring?" Tian Meng looked at Di Tian.

Di Tian nodded.

Not long ago, he had seen Rong Nianbing give Lu Mingfei ten divinely bestowed soul rings.

Judging from Rong Nianbing's completely unconcerned appearance, it seems that a divinely bestowed soul ring is not such a rare thing.

"Could it be that a god would kill a soul beast, melt its soul and soul power into a divinely bestowed soul ring, and then bestow it upon the deity?" Tianmeng pressed.

Di Tian seemed to be deep in thought.

Although hunting a soul beast doesn't require much effort, and it's just a matter of waving a hand to a god, it still requires a process. However, Rong Nianbing didn't even blink when she took out the divinely bestowed soul ring.

He couldn't possibly have prepared a divinely bestowed soul ring in advance, just waiting to give it to Lu Mingfei, could he?

There were a full ten!

Moreover, when Lu Mingfei was given a spirit ring by the gods, he obviously did not make any prior preparations.

"Is it divine power?" Di Tian and Tian Meng exchanged glances.

Tianmeng nodded.

"So perhaps we should take a closer look at what exactly is contained within divine power." Tianmeng smiled at Ditian and the goddess of love, Flora. "You two are experienced; you should be able to offer plenty of advice, right?"

Flora, the goddess of love who had been quietly recuperating, remained silent.

She hasn't even regained a clear physical form yet, let alone contributed her meager divine power to the researchers. The fact that she didn't try to fleece the Silver Dragon King is already a sign of her respect for the Dragon God!

Di Tian was also a little embarrassed.

He has long since fallen from his divine position, and now he is using soul power.

However, as someone who once possessed divine power, he could indeed say something about the composition of divine power.

"Divine power is essentially a higher level of soul power. If soul power is condensed to its extreme and undergoes a qualitative change, it can become the prototype of divine power," Di Tiandao said. "Just like spiritual power, as long as it can reach the realm of tangible form, it will transform into divine consciousness."

P.S.: Name change failed, so what name would be good? —T
