Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo
Chapter 2 Golden Eyes
The Notting City Spirit Hall appears to be a Baroque church. On its huge dome, crystal glass decorations reflect brilliant light under the sun, making it seem as if it is shrouded in a sacred glow from afar.
As Lu Mingfei approached, he thought to himself, "This is truly a world where everyone has superpowers." Even Notre Dame Cathedral, which he had seen online before, probably couldn't compare. If Chen Wenwen were here, she would definitely love this place full of classical art.
After taking a brief look around, Lu Mingfei walked into a nearby alley. He had just asked some passersby and found out that the place where the city's residents awakened their martial spirits was the Awakening Center on the right-hand street near the Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall deacons were on duty there during the day, all year round.
He quickly found the place. It was called the Awakening Center, but it was actually just a small courtyard. A group of parents were peeking in from the doorway, while their children lined up in the courtyard. Seeing this, Lu Mingfei quickly squeezed in. It was already afternoon, and if the deacon went off duty, he would probably have to wait until tomorrow.
"Blue Silver Grass, without soul power."
"The scythe has no soul power."
"Blue Silver Grass, without soul power."
……
Inside the Awakening Center, two deacons were conducting awakening ceremonies for the children. One by one, the children entered the room, but almost all of the dozens of children who came out were sighing and groaning.
My God, is the probability really that low?
Lu Mingfei watched from the back of the line. The hope that had been ignited in his heart by Ah Q's spirit gradually faded with each sigh. It seemed that his luck had never been very good.
As the group moved forward, Lu Mingfei became increasingly uneasy. Finally, it was his turn to enter the inner room. A Spirit Hall steward in a black and white uniform was wiping the sweat from his forehead, clearly indicating that awakening a spirit was a physically demanding task.
"Step forward and stand still." Su Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded immediately and stepped into the circle. He had already seen the process while queuing, and he had to admit that the deacon's martial spirit was quite frightening.
As Su Yuntao clapped his hands out, injecting soul power into the six awakening stones on the ground, golden light spots surged out and converged on Lu Mingfei's body.
Lu Mingfei could feel something trying to break out of his body. He was scared, but he couldn't make a sound. In a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"elder brother."
Lu Mingfei's vision blurred for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, a refreshing breeze was blowing on his face. Before his eyes was a sky full of stars, and the air was filled with the fragrance of locust blossoms.
In the distance, the city is brightly lit, with countless cars weaving through the dark overpasses like fireflies, and the skyscrapers of the business district reflecting neon lights under the radiant glow of various lights.
He had been looking at this view for several years; it was his uncle's rooftop, his secret base.
"elder brother."
Lu Mingfei saw the boy sitting on the rooftop calling him "brother." He originally wanted to say that it was dangerous to sit there, but his body moved involuntarily, and he sat down next to the boy, as if he had gotten used to doing so.
The boy was very well-behaved, dressed in a black suit with a white silk scarf, giving him the look of a young British gentleman. But what was most striking were his pale gold eyes.
"Hello, I'm Lu Mingfei. Who are you?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment because he saw his own reflection in the faint light of the other person's eyes.
"I am Lu Mingze." The boy smiled and gazed at the city.
Lu Mingfei thought he was joking. Didn't he know who Lu Mingze was? A chubby little square-shaped guy who was 160cm tall and weighed 160kg. If he could grow up to look like a boy, would he need to spend all his time online being sentimental and trying to pick up little girls?
"I'm sorry, brother, I've gotten myself into a little trouble this time." The boy's face suddenly showed the pleading look of someone who had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.
Looking at his childish face, Lu Mingfei felt a sudden pang in his heart.
Lu Mingfei remembered that when he was about to close his laptop, it seemed that this boy's voice startled him and caused him to press the wrong button.
"But brother, don't be afraid. Although we don't know what kind of twisted sense of humor that being had for you, as long as we're together, we have nothing to fear." The boy spread his arms wide, like birds in flight: "Infinite worlds, infinite possibilities, brother, maybe this kind of life is surprisingly suitable for us."
"Suitable my foot! I'm practically begging for food now." Lu Mingfei rubbed his forehead, his head aching. The boy kept saying things he couldn't understand, things that seemed to have a strange, implied meaning.
"You always have this habit of running away, brother, but that's fate. You can't escape it, you can't stop it." The boy turned to look at Lu Mingfei, shook his head helplessly, and smiled, "You can treat this world as your best game. As long as we beat the game, we can go home."
"You make it sound so easy." Lu Mingfei stuck out his tongue and frowned.
"Of course it's easy, after all, my brother is a gaming expert." The boy had a faint, angelic smile on his face.
"And you also need to think about who else is waiting for us."
Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been suddenly awakened from an unbelievable nightmare. He suddenly felt an immense sadness fill his nostrils.
So I really was thinking about them.
"Good, remember this feeling. When you make up your mind, even the world can't stop you!" The boy suddenly hugged Lu Mingfei: "I won't hold you back either. The cheat code Something for Nothing 1%, and the power to control your life that belongs to you, brother, to not die, is already open to you."
"What the hell?" Lu Mingfei was still immersed in his memories when he suddenly paused. Why did it sound a bit like a cheat code?
Before he could ask any more questions, Lu Mingze suddenly pushed him from behind. Caught off guard, he lost his balance and fell off the rooftop.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Lu Mingfei's last sight of Lu Mingze waving and smiling on the rooftop was before his consciousness was completely swallowed by darkness.
Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light shone from them, accompanied by an aura that seemed capable of burning the entire world.
Su Yuntao felt as if two suns were shining in front of him, his mind went blank, and he froze on the spot.
"This is?"
Lu Mingfei awoke with a start, the golden light instantly receding, and the overwhelming pressure dissipating in an instant.
Su Yuntao finally came to his senses, his eyes wide open. He immediately realized what had just happened, and he quickly looked over carefully, but the next moment he showed a look of disappointment.
They initially thought they had encountered the suppression of a legendary high-level beast spirit, but upon closer inspection, the child in front of them showed no change whatsoever except for his glowing eyes, which was clearly not a characteristic of a beast spirit.
The imposing aura he felt just now was probably just an illusion caused by his lack of vigilance and the other party's mental energy being released for a moment.
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of regret. The eyes are the most vulnerable part of the human body, and he was probably destined to have little outstanding combat ability in the future. He couldn't possibly kill someone with a single glare in battle, could he? Perhaps they would only be of some use in night vision for military reconnaissance in the future; otherwise, they would probably be considered a useless martial spirit.
"Young man, what's your name?" Su Yuntao composed himself and asked. Regardless of the circumstances, the innate soul power level of this martial soul must be quite high to possess such a mental pressure.
"My name is Lu Mingfei."
Lu Mingfei subconsciously touched his eye sockets. He was certain that he was different, because the world in front of him was like a 360P screen suddenly refreshed to 4K ultra-high definition, and he was accompanied by a refreshing feeling that was hard to describe.
"Your martial soul should be eyes." Su Yuntao handed over a bowl of water: "This is the first time I've seen one like this. It should enhance eyesight and mental strength. In any case, it will definitely allow you to cultivate."
"Eyes?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused. He had just seen so many Blue Silver Grass Scythes and carrots, but he never expected that eyes could also be used as a martial soul. The martial souls in this world are really strange and wonderful!
"Holy crap, where did this third wheel come from?!"
Taking the water and examining the reflection closely, Lu Mingfei was surprised to find that his eyes had become exactly the same as the child who called himself Lu Mingze, possessing an eerie beauty, and... majesty!
"Alright, use your mind to recall your martial soul. Let's test your soul power." Su Yuntao quickly spoke up, picking up the crystal ball and handing it to him.
"Oh, okay." Lu Mingfei quickly nodded.
Actually, there were some things he didn't tell the truth. With the awakening of his martial soul, his body seemed to undergo other changes, but he subconsciously suppressed them. Otherwise, he felt that he might... grow wings?
It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!
Lu Mingfei closed his eyes to calm himself down. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their original black pupils.
He stretched out his right hand, and as soon as his palm touched the crystal ball, a dazzling light instantly filled the entire room.
"Innate full soul power!" Su Yuntao's eyes widened as he gazed at the radiant light filling the hall before him.
He encountered two geniuses with innate full soul power, a talent that comes along only once in a century, within a year. But why did neither of them seem to be very useful?
He hesitated about whether to recruit the other party. If the Eye Martial Soul truly was a useless one, he might be punished as well. However, the Eye Martial Soul was more valuable than Blue Silver Grass, so to be on the safe side, he decided to report the information and let the higher-ups decide. This way, he would be doing good without any consequences.
Having made up his mind, Su Yuntao prepared to first establish a rapport and said, "Brother Lu Mingfei, you are a level 10 innate full soul power, a genius that is rare even in a hundred years. Where are your parents? You can ask them to take you to Notting Academy to register."
Genius? Lu Mingfei never imagined that such an evaluation would be bestowed upon him one day, but he remembered his ill intentions and immediately lowered his head, feigning pitifulness: "They are not in this world."
He was telling the truth, since he was penniless and unregistered. If he didn't play the victim, he would really have to beg for food.
"I'm sorry." Su Yuntao hadn't expected Lu Mingfei to have such a background.
"Here's what we'll do. Notting Academy has a lot of vacant work-study positions every year. I'll let you fill one of them, and that will solve your food, clothing, and accommodation problems for now. Once you absorb a spirit ring and become a spirit master during Notting Academy's annual Soul Hunting Season, your life will naturally be fine from now on."
As Su Yuntao spoke, he wrote down the Martial Soul Certificate. As a deacon of the Martial Soul Hall, he could decide on even a single work-study student position.
"Here you go. Just hand this certificate to the academic affairs office. Oh, and I have some change here, take this." Su Yuntao took out five silver coins and handed them over. "In a few months, during Notting Academy's annual concentrated Soul Hunting Season, as long as you become a Soul Master, you can get a Soul Master subsidy. At that time, you won't have any problems making a living."
"Thank you, Deacon!" Lu Mingfei accepted the gift with both hands and bowed deeply to him. He felt grateful for the kindness shown to him and would definitely repay the favor when he had the chance.
"You're too kind." Su Yuntao smiled and shook his head. "While it's still light, you should hurry up and register at the academy."
Lu Mingfei bowed again to express his gratitude before turning around and leaving. Having awakened his martial spirit and gained the qualification to enter the beginner village, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"No way, what's there to be happy about? This means going back to elementary school!"
