The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 132 Kidnapping

Lu Mingfei never expected that his impulsive act would lead to this situation.

Huo Yuhao's life shouldn't be like this.

Before he arrived, the thousands of deaths he had faced had not only failed to break him, but had actually made him stronger.

From being able to peek out instantly to being able to withstand a few moves, and then to being able to counterattack—it seems that he is only one step away from completing that "test".

If he can pass the test, he might gain the approval of his father-in-law, who will help him get rid of that unwanted romantic advances. He might even win the heart of the beauty, perhaps even defeat the Sun Moon Empire, become a hero, inherit the divine position, and ascend to the divine realm!

This is the life of a fantasy novel protagonist!

Even with Naruto's seemingly carefree storyline, he suffered in the early stages, endured hardship in the middle stages, and was beaten up in the later stages.

But Naruto mostly follows the "get beaten up, unleash his power, and turn the tables" formula, though there are also scenes where he gets straight into a satisfying battle.

Overall, Naruto himself is not bad, except that he is a bit too saintly and his talk-no-jutsu is too powerful.

Huo Yuhao, well, he just suffers a little hardship and torment. Qianqian was beaten to death a few times, wasn't she?

It won't prevent him from having everything later on.

But he messed all of these up.

As for whether Huo Yuhao will have a family status after he ascends to the God Realm—ha! What a joke: What family status does a live-in son-in-law need!

"I'm suddenly feeling a bit annoyed!" Lu Mingfei couldn't explain why, he just suddenly felt very annoyed.

"You deserve to die!"

Lu Mingfei stormed to the center of the village and unleashed his full power without saying a word.

The Eternal Frozen Domain, Jadi Hantian, Snow Dance Shining Sun, instantly transformed into the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain, freezing the entire village under a blanket of snow. Then, the Ice Explosion spell followed, blasting everyone present, except for the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, into dust.

Gu Yuena: "???"

She didn't understand why Lu Mingfei was angry.

"—Isn't what you're doing amounting to indiscriminate killing?"

Lu Mingfei turned his head expressionlessly, his golden eyes, like molten gold, gleaming, instantly putting immense pressure on Gu Yuena.

So, what exactly made him angry?

"Didn't you already know that besides that evil spirit master, there are no other living people here?" Lu Mingfei blinked, his eyes sparkling.

The dazzling golden eyes gradually disappeared.

He looked at the snow-covered landscape before him and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Evil Soul Master, huh? He really is...

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes.

"Nausea."

Gu Yuena didn't know who he was talking about, but she felt it wasn't the right time to respond, so she remained silent.

That guy just used three soul skills in three seconds, two of which were combination soul skills!

His soul power—

Gu Yuena suddenly froze.

The guy in front of me is already at the god level.

She wasn't sure if the other party had a corresponding divine position, but in terms of combat power, they were already a true god.

"You really hate evil spirit masters?" Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment before asking.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, then nodded.

"Sometimes it's quite pathetic that people can only climb up by stepping on the corpses of others." Lu Mingfei doesn't think wanting to become stronger is a bad thing, but those evil soul masters have no choice since their martial souls awakened.

It seems there's no other choice.

If it's just about cultivating by absorbing blood, it might not harm anyone. But what if it involves refining the soul, tearing out one's heart and lungs?

Does this mean I should just give up being a Soul Master?

But this is a world full of war and death. If you don't improve your strength, you will become part of someone else's strength.

"Evil Soul Master—we need to think of a way." Lu Mingfei stroked his chin.

This item has always been on his to-do list.

He thought he would only encounter an evil soul master after obtaining the Sun Moon Empire, but he actually met one twenty miles outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Go investigate the evil soul masters," Lu Mingfei said, adopting a work attitude. "I remember that Di Tian has already recruited the Evil Emperor. The Evil Emperor's headquarters is in the Sun Moon Empire. His race is also very suitable for intelligence gathering. It shouldn't be difficult to investigate the evil soul master forces within the Sun Moon Empire."

Gu Yuena knew that Lu Mingfei had given the order directly, but she didn't feel any displeasure.

Evil Soul Masters are indeed a problem. Those guys level up at an abnormally fast speed, so they hunt a lot of Soul Beasts.

Defeating those evil spirit masters will not only help humans, but also benefit spirit beasts.

"I will inform Di Tian," Gu Yuena agreed. "Are we going to other villages?"

"Go ahead." Lu Mingfei looked at Gu Yuena, then suddenly looked embarrassed. "Um—"

Lu Mingfei forced a fawning smile: "Could you please remove all this snow and ice from the ground?"

Gu Yuena:

—”

"If we leave it here, the ice and snow will melt soon," Gu Yuena said expressionlessly.

Lu Mingfei shrugged: "I know, but what if someone investigates? What if they find out I was the one who did it through the slightest clue?"

Although Huo Yuhao had never used this combination of techniques in public before, he still needed to be cautious.

Better safe than sorry.

"Also," he changed the subject, a hint of eagerness in his eyes, "I'd like to learn some new skills too."

Freezing is a control skill, so removing the freeze should be considered removing the control effect.

Skills like debuff removal, dispel, and purification are still very important in the game.

Hearing Lu Mingfei say this, Gu Yuena's expression softened considerably. It seemed that this guy hadn't let himself go yet and was still quite normal and reliable.

"I'm not sure if you can learn my soul skills," Gu Yuena said. "I have a natural and strong control over the elements, so—"

Gu Yuena raised her hand, and a subtle fluctuation of power emanated from her body.

As the soul skill was released, the ice and snow domain created by Lu Mingfei was quickly dispelled, and the ice and snow sublimated directly, leaving not even a damp patch of soil on the ground.

Lu Mingfei kept his mental detection active, and he could clearly sense the flow and changes of the surrounding elements, but something felt strange.

Why does this scene seem familiar?

Where?

Who did it?

Lu Mingfei racked his brains but could not find a solution.

"Are you directly commanding the elements?" Lu Mingfei stopped worrying about whether he had seen a similar scene before, temporarily setting aside the sense of déjà vu, and began to seriously analyze the essence of Gu Yuena's soul skill.

Typically, soul skills are created by soul masters using their own soul power as a catalyst or carrier, through the imprint of their soul rings, to mobilize and aggregate their own...

The elemental energy existing in nature then forms specific skill effects.

But Gu Yuena gave him the feeling that she had skipped the intermediate steps, as if the elements themselves were obeying her will.

It's as if Chu Zihang's Word of Power: Monarch's Flame erupted without him needing to chant a spell. Moreover, not only was its power astonishing, but its duration was also longer, and it didn't place a significant physical or mental burden on him.

To give an example, when an ordinary Soul Master uses Soul Skills, it's like urging someone with kind words or pleading with the elemental energy of nature to help "do the work".

Gu Yuena's approach, however, is more like that of a superior, issuing clear "commands" directly to the elements. These elements not only do not resist, but instead—feel a sense of glad obedience, even enjoying it.

Is it true that a forbidden fire spell is actually just cursing the fire element? The harsher the curse, the greater the damage?

"Elemental control, huh?" Only then did Lu Mingfei believe that Gu Yuena truly possessed the strength of a half-step God-King.

Elemental control is already impressive, but it's only one of Gu Yuena's abilities.

"You really are something else—you reach peak performance with just a little effort," Lu Mingfei complimented with a smile.

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow: "You should be able to do it too."

"Let me study it." Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered Huo Yuhao's fifth soul skill of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

The copying skill from Silver Beast, Mental Copy, allows the user to copy the opponent's soul skill the instant the opponent uses their ability.

It comes and is stored in one's own body.

Because it is accomplished entirely through mental power, it is unaffected by any attributes.

However, the power is affected by one's own strength, and there is a limit to the number of times one can replicate a soul skill each day — Lu Mingfei blinked, seemingly not feeling any limit on the number of times.

It must be because his current strength is greater than Huo Yuhao's before.

Lu Mingfei nodded to himself, having found an excuse for himself.

"I'll try out the Spirit Copying soul skill," Lu Mingfei explained the effects of the Spirit Copying soul skill to Gu Yuena, then added, "Perhaps I can master more skills through this soul skill."

In fact, Lu Mingfei also knew that in order to reach Gu Yuena's level, he needed to improve his control over the elements.

That's a bit difficult.

Lu Mingfei didn't plan to unleash his "Black King Martial Soul" to cause a scene, so he had to find another way.

Gu Yuena did not refuse.

Lu Mingfei successfully learned the "control removal" skill.

"Let's go to the next village. Maybe we can test this skill on the spot." Lu Mingfei was immediately excited and used his mental detection to find the way to the next village.

Gu Yuena silently followed behind Lu Mingfei.

How can this person change their expression so quickly?

"Why don't you ask me why I was angry just now?" Gu Yuena didn't ask, but Lu Mingfei couldn't hold back his words any longer.

"So why?" Gu Yuena asked casually.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. He had already started the conversation, and if he continued to be vague and keep people in suspense, he would probably get beaten up.

"Because I was supposed to be the light of humanity, but because of the Qiankun Asking Love Valley incident, I'm almost becoming a traitor now."

Lu Mingfei sighed.

Soul beasts are a huge force and a great help to him. In human society, even if a young person like him is strong, he will be suppressed according to seniority.

There's a 90% chance they wouldn't have achieved their current status.

But that doesn't mean he wants to be a traitor!

Gu Yuena looked at Lu Mingfei with a strange expression, as if trying to see through Lu Mingfei's mind and body.

He has only been a human for seventeen years, so why does he identify so strongly with the identity of a human?

Is it because of education?

"We need to seriously consider the education system for building unity and racial confidence among soul beasts," Gu Yuena said. "Even after hundreds of thousands of years of growth, soul beasts may not necessarily identify with their own race in this way."

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

That seems to be the case.

All soul beasts acknowledge that they are soul beasts, but they also have their own races.

They all look different, so why do you say they belong to the same race?

Although humans are divided into countries, regions, and skin colors, at least they look the same, with only minor differences.

"Actually, there's another problem," Gu Yuena suddenly sighed, as if the problem was extremely serious, "After a soul beast transforms into human form, it becomes a human, which elevates the status of humans."

Why would a perfectly good spirit beast want to turn into a human?

If you don't agree, how can you be willing to do it voluntarily?

Lu Mingfei was speechless for a moment.

He really couldn't refute that.

Humanity seems to have been quite successful.

In the world of Dragon Raja, even the Dragon King approves of humans, and many are willing to become human.

Dragon Raja

Douluo Continent 2: Peerless Tang Sect

Lu Mingfei suddenly laughed.

Gu Yuena looked at him in surprise: "You found the reason?"

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes, his raven-feather-like eyelashes obscuring them, giving his handsome face a mysterious air.

He found the reason.

But he couldn't tell anyone the reason.

Just then, Lu Mingfei received a replenishment pack.

The project's core entity needs to maintain its unique status as a chosen one and overcome all the major challenges facing its world.

After success, you can choose whether to create a parallel world.

What a generous act.

But what if these two worlds are merely creations of a certain author?

Lu Mingfei shook hands with him, feeling the flexibility and strength in his body.

He has all five senses.

He is indeed alive, even in a fictional world.

Like "Infinite Terror"?

The only difference is that they traveled to different worlds and had different missions.

What if I mess up the task? What if only one of us completes it?

[Reasonable questions have been detected regarding the main body of the project; a supplementary package is now being issued.]

[When only one of the two project participants completes the task while the other fails, the successful participant's time will be paused, and the other participant's time will be reset until they complete the task.]

Once both parties have completed their tasks, the task settlement phase will begin.

The two project leaders will receive rewards from the project team and can choose whether to return to their original world.

Lu Mingfei felt a chill run down his spine.

Reset? Until successful?

That's really demanding.

Can memories be reset?

The project owner can choose whether to retain the project's history after a reset.

Lu Mingfei twitched the corner of his mouth.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

This is actually a non-wipe game, although all that's left is the game experience.

Just like playing a dungeon, once you know all the details of the levels and the information about the boss, you can have a great time as long as you prepare in advance.

But—if you keep playing the same game, especially one that's super realistic and has an amazing immersive experience, you'll get tired of it, right?

But if you don't retain the memory, you might still fail, and then you'll have to start all over again.

[Your project team initially said that because they knew our needs, they would give us the opportunity to exchange lives, but they didn't notify us at all before the exchange.]

[Bringing us directly into each other's world—isn't that kidnapping?]
