The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 124 Just a Face

Tianmeng has a good talent for mental power. He has now reached the second stage of mental power cultivation: tangible but intangible.

Spiritual cultivation can be roughly divided into three realms: formless and without substance, tangible but without substance, and tangible and with substance.

Once one reaches a tangible and substantial level, spiritual power will transform into divine consciousness, entering the realm of gods.

However, Tianmeng was able to enter the level of spiritual cultivation that is tangible but intangible mainly because he lived a long life.

Millions of years of accumulation, even if it's just piling up, have elevated his mental power to an extremely high level.

However, Tianmeng's mental strength met the standard, but unfortunately, he didn't know many skills to use, and he himself was a good-for-nothing who just ate and slept.

It's fair to say that if he hadn't been imprisoned by the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and used as a power bank to absorb soul energy, he might not have achieved anything in these ten thousand years.

That's why they say crisis can also be an opportunity.

The process was just a bit painful.

"Isn't a soul core a method of compressing soul power?" Ice Emperor looked at Emperor Tian.

Among the humans and soul beasts present, Di Tian had the highest cultivation level. His powerful combat strength was likely due to his soul core.

"Although you no longer have physical bodies, you should still remember how you condensed your soul cores, right?" Di Tian smiled. "If we can find a systematic method for condensing soul cores, and further improve it so that the soul core can exist independently of the body, then our research might succeed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian directly drew out a black hole of soul power within his body and continued to inject soul power into the rotating vortex of soul power for compression.

The vortex spun faster and faster, emitting a chilling aura.

Xue Di looked at the small vortex in Di Tian's palm and frowned in deep thought.

Although Di Tian's soul power vortex was peculiar, it was too unstable.

"Bang"

Before Xue Di could figure it out, the vortex in Di Tian's palm exploded. Fortunately, Di Tian was strong and reacted quickly enough to throw the out-of-control soul power vortex into the sky.

Even so, the shockwave from the explosion still caused Xiao Xiao and He Caitou to stagger.

Fortunately, the soul beasts in the core circle were powerful; otherwise, this single air burst could have taken the lives of many soul beasts under a thousand years old.

"A soul core must not only be a stable solid, but it must also be able to be transformed into a gentle energy body that can be absorbed; otherwise, it cannot become a soul ring."

Biji withdrew her gaze from the air explosion and said to Di Tian, ​​"Why don't I give it a try? My soul power is gentle, so even if it gets out of control, it won't cause too much damage."

Brigitte is a healing type with a life attribute, and her soul power is indeed safe enough that even if it explodes, it will not cause casualties—it will probably only make the people around her feel hot all over and have nosebleeds.

Di Tian raised an eyebrow, did not object, and simply gave up his seat.

Brigitte reached out and held up a wisp of soft, emerald-green energy that rose from her palm. Instead of compressing it, the energy slowly coiled and overlapped like weaving, gradually outlining a sphere radiating vibrant life.

Soul power can be in a gaseous or liquid state, but to condense it into a solid state requires far more effort than cultivating from the innate soul power level to level 89.

Most Soul Masters only have one chance to condense a Soul Core once they break through to level 90.

Titled Douluo are all Soul Masters who have successfully condensed their Soul Cores; those who failed mostly returned to dust.

As for soul beasts, if they cannot condense a soul core, even if their cultivation reaches 100,000 years, they will be easily killed by heavenly tribulation.

Even if Emperor Tian and Bi Ji were to be saved, it's possible they wouldn't be able to.

Therefore, this is why Xiao Wu and her daughter, as well as A Yin, chose to transform into human form.

Di Tian looked down on them and never guided their cultivation. As a result, they grew wildly and eventually discovered a problem. They had no other way to survive except to find another path.

As for Da Ming and Er Ming—it can only be said that they were unlucky. Although they were talented, at that time, the ferocious beasts such as Di Tian were in seclusion.

It's a coincidence, but there's a reason for it.

Because they had to make way for Tang San, the chosen one of destiny.

"Bang."

The soul power crystal in Brigitte's palm also exploded, but the commotion was indeed very small.

This area was enveloped by a rich, emerald-green life energy.

Tianmeng and the other two spirits did not react much to this, after all, they were already pure spiritual beings.

Di Tian and the other soul beasts didn't react much either; although the life energy was rich, the amount was too small.

The goddess of love, Flora, quietly absorbed most of the dissipated life energy and felt much better.

As for Xiao Xiao, He Caitou, and Wang Qiu'er who had just come to join the fun, they were so overwhelmed by the large amount of life force that they felt dizzy and their bodies were about to burst from overeating.

Without saying a word, Xiao Xiao and He Caitou summoned their martial souls and used their soul skills haphazardly, squandering their soul power.

Wang Qiu'er didn't understand, but she did as she was told.

"Hmm?" Tianmeng suddenly stared blankly at Xiaoxiao.

He just thought he saw the color of Xiao Xiao's spirit ring change?

Back then, in order to improve her strength as quickly as possible and ensure that she could pass the academy's assessment, Xiao Xiao added a soul ring to her second martial soul when her cultivation level was still low.

Therefore, the first spirit ring of her second spirit is a hundred-year spirit ring.

This spirit ring was originally supposed to be a ten-thousand-year spirit ring; a hundred-year limit is too short and is a serious waste of her potential.

So, the reason Lu Mingfei threw Xiao Xiao into this research and development team was so that these long-lived and experienced members could help Xiao Xiao find a way to make up for or break through the limitations of her soul ring age, thereby solving the problem of her potential loss caused by her early choices.

Xiao Xiao had also secretly regretted her haste at the time. But back then, faced with the rigorous tests and the pressure from her companions, gaining combat power as quickly as possible seemed to be the most pragmatic choice.

"Xiao Xiao," Tianmeng called out to Xiao Xiao, whose pretty face was flushed from the touch-up, "Now release the first soul ring of your second martial soul and try to use that soul ring to absorb the dissipated life force."

Xiao Xiao was only stunned for a moment before sitting cross-legged without hesitation and releasing the first soul ring of her second martial soul, the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute.

The soul skill contained in this soul ring is Slow, which can reduce the opponent's speed by 20%.

Actually, this is already a pretty good soul ring, after all, it's a noble percentage-based skill!

Xiao Xiao had never tried absorbing energy using a spirit ring, but she was clever. She still absorbed life force in the normal way of cultivation, but as long as she absorbed it, she would directly transfer the life force to the spirit ring, but she would not release the spirit skill.

A yellow spirit ring floated around Xiao Xiao. As she gradually transferred her life force into the spirit ring, the already dark yellow spirit ring became even more profound.

Seeing the changes in Xiao Xiao's spirit rings, Bi Ji did not hesitate to condense another sphere of life force and detonate it.

"This is similar to how I upgraded Yuhao's spirit rings," Tianmeng said, stroking her chin.

But Tianmeng felt that his method was simpler.

After absorbing five portions of life force, Xiao Xiao's original hundred-year-old soul ring successfully reached its proper level.

A man-made ten-thousand-year soul ring!

Xue Di watched this scene thoughtfully.

Hyotei then spoke directly: "If the age limit of the spirit rings could be replenished—"

What Ice Emperor really wanted to say was that there were plenty of soul beasts that were ten or a hundred years old anyway, and none of them had developed intelligence, so they weren't even considered members of their race. He wouldn't feel bad even if they were killed.

However, it seems that only Brigitte possesses such a strong vitality.

It's impossible for Biji to use her own soul power to increase the age of all soul masters' soul rings.

Furthermore, this method is too wasteful.

The soul power that Bi Ji just released was at least 30,000 years old, while Xiao Xiao's soul ring was only 10,000 years old.

Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that the goddess of love, Flora, was taking advantage of the chaos to steal life force.

"Let's continue developing spirit rings." Di Tian glanced at Bing Di indifferently.

He and Brigitte are both very busy now.

Besides completing the tasks assigned by Lu Mingfei, they also had to try to have children!

Silver Dragon King and Lu Mingfei had urged him several times, but Di Tian really felt wronged.

It's only been a few days!

They've already worked very hard, it hasn't even been a month!

Although Di Tian was a dragon, his desires were not particularly strong.

Because he has a more steadfast and powerful belief, even though he was just busy doing nothing productive before, his work attitude is very upright.

Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and, seeing the transformation of her soul ring, quickly stood up and bowed to Bi Ji to express her gratitude: "Lady Bi Ji, thank you for your help."

She then thanked Tianmeng, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Master Tianmeng."

Biji nodded with a smile, while Tianmeng grinned and let out a silent laugh.

Good heavens!

He's starting to like this girl, even though he's liked her before, but now—

Xiao Xiao calls him Lord Tianmeng!

Lord Tianmeng!

Seeing Tenmu like this, Hyotei couldn't help but look away from him.

That's so stupid, I can't bear to watch.

Snow Empress smiled faintly and gently patted Ice Empress's arm.

Hyotei is such a tsundere.

However, Xue Di had no intention of interfering in the relationship between the silkworm and the scorpion.

It's good that they can be together, but it doesn't matter if they can't.

Anyway, we're already an inseparable family.

Although Huo Yuhao is now working hard in another world and his position has been taken by Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei is also a good kid.

But keep going!

After helping Lu Mingfei complete the mission, will Yuhao come back?

Although Xue Di thought Huo Yuhao's infatuation with love was somewhat unsightly, after learning that it was all Tang San's scheme, she only felt sorry for Huo Yuhao.

How could Huo Yuhao, a mere mortal, possibly withstand the schemes of Tang San, a god?

"Lord Di Tian, ​​I've just made a discovery." Xiao Xiao's expression turned serious. "Perhaps, a spirit ring needs a vessel—"

Lu Mingfei woke up on the soft, luxurious bed, his consciousness still sluggish from a deep sleep.

He was indeed a bit tired yesterday, so he went straight to sleep after entering the room and was only woken up by Electrolux.

"Is it already eight o'clock?" Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyes and sat up.

Electrolux said, "It's 7:50 now. You might need a little more time to wash up."

Yesterday, Lu Mingfei and Gu Yuena agreed to meet downstairs at eight o'clock, but Lu Mingfei couldn't just get up at eight o'clock and go downstairs right after waking up, could he?

He also needs to brush his teeth, wash his face, and change his clothes.

He met with Gu Yuena cleanly and efficiently.

We should be polite, after all, we'll be living in human society from now on.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei mumbled, stretched and got out of bed, yawned and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Fortunately, Di Tian had found him a lot of clothes a couple of days ago; otherwise, Lu Mingfei would have had to wear dirty clothes again after taking a battle shower.

At 7:58, Lu Mingfei appeared clean and tidy on the first floor of the hotel.

Gu Yuena had already gone downstairs and was even having breakfast.

"Is this the breakfast provided by the hotel?" Lu Mingfei asked, sitting opposite Gu Yuena and looking at the light breakfast in front of him.

Gu Yuena hummed in agreement.

Lu Mingfei frowned.

Why is this mother dragon still angry?

Will their travels continue in this awkward state?

"So, where are you planning to go later?" Lu Mingfei asked, forcing himself to start a conversation despite Gu Yuena's cold expression.

This is really troublesome. Logically speaking, Gu Yuena isn't someone he likes, so he should be quite relaxed in front of her. But why does he feel something's off after they go out together?

I guess I did something stupid yesterday —

Thinking of that broken-down aircraft, Lu Mingfei felt like crying.

Damn it!

Because of that thing, his lifelong reputation was ruined!

"I'll listen to you." Gu Yuena also felt something was off. Why was she reacting so strongly to the face in front of her?

Although he is quite handsome, isn't Di Tian's face even more striking?

There's something about the face she's facing right now—it seems like it'll make the dragon's heart flutter uncontrollably?

Gu Yuena was stunned.

isn't it?

How can a mere face possess such power?

Gu Yuena put down her chopsticks and carefully examined the face that belonged to Chu Zihang.

He is handsome and aloof, but because of Lu Mingfei's temperament, he seems harmless.

Lu Mingfei felt uncomfortable under Gu Yuena's gaze and subconsciously touched his face.

He now understands a little better about the girls who have a crush on Senior Brother Chu.

Even a powerful being from another world like the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena would fall in love with Senior Brother Chu's face. Isn't it normal for them to like Senior Brother Chu?

Even in the world of the dragon race, where they live, Senior Brother Chu can still earn the special treatment of a female dragon king!

As for whether Xia Mi and Chu Zihang actually sparked a romance—Lu Mingfei didn't want to think about it.

Xia Mi is already dead.

In the end, it seems she still softened towards Senior Brother Chu.

"This is just a face I randomly created—" Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, not intending to attract unwanted attention from other worlds for Senior Brother Chu, and resolutely decided to change his face.

Whose should we replace it with?

How about that most inconspicuous person in the class? — LOL, there are actually classmates who are even less noticeable in front of Lu Mingfei?

Lu Mingfei suddenly burst out laughing.

Gu Yuena: "???"

"No, use this face!"

Lu Mingfei was speechless: "This face is really fake!"
