Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

This was not a fair match, not from the start.

After the host announced the results of both sides and both sides activated their martial spirits, the competition officially began.

On the stage, a sharp, welding-like light shone in front of Lu Mingfei, reminiscent of the primordial light of the rising sun when gazing at the horizon from the coastline—magnificent, earth-shattering, almost capable of staining half the sea and the entire sky. Now, it naturally illuminated the astonished and excited faces of everyone in the audience.

When this light reached its zenith, it was as if a newborn sun had appeared on the field, except that it radiated not only sunlight, but also thunder and majesty.

"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"

"Jun Yan!"

The interplay of electricity and fire created a light so intense it threatened to burn away one's retinas, yet no one dared to let it out of their sight... perhaps fearing that this divinely punishing light would descend upon them.

However, the Flame Brothers were not going to sit idly by and wait for their doom. As a bronze-level Soul Master duo, they had been through countless battles. Even if their opponent was the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, they would not be forced to back down. Moreover, if they could defeat the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, their fame would be even greater.

"elder brother!"

"younger brother!"

"Combo attack, wind and fire in perfect harmony!"

At the same time, a fierce, raging inferno descended.

The battle reached its climax from the very beginning, with four century-old soul skills clashing, wind, fire, and lightning intertwining in the arena and unleashing extreme light and heat.

"Boom!" Lu Mingfei controlled Junyan and unleashed it ahead of schedule.

The violent shockwave cracked the stone slabs in the arena, and the two black figures were thrown to the ground by the shockwave, rolling off the stage, signaling the end of the battle.

Emergency medical personnel at the arena immediately rushed to treat the two, and after confirming that they had only been stunned, the host announced that the Dragon Roar Nine Heavens duo had won the match.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, wondering why, when he saw the two brothers opposite him suddenly shouting that their brotherhood was about to ignite, he suddenly felt like he was some kind of villain.

But speaking of which, what level are you two? Even if I didn't unleash my Dragon's Might, you two still dared to take that huge initial attack head-on?

That's too brave, isn't it?

"Let's go." Yu Tianheng's face remained expressionless. Originally, the opponent's combination skill could indeed compete with his second soul skill, but with the addition of Lu Mingfei's second soul skill, it directly turned into a crushing defeat. There was nothing to look forward to in this kind of battle.

Lu Mingfei quickly nodded, ignoring the thunderous cheers from the audience, and hurried off the stage. He agreed to meet in the registration hall, then made a quick escape to the restroom, mainly because he was afraid Xue Qinghe would intercept him on the way.

The two left casually, but Qin Ming and the others in the audience, as well as Xue Qinghe, were deeply shocked.

"Should we just go up there and be cheerleaders from now on?" Yu Feng voiced everyone's thoughts. These two are incredibly strong, and if they go up there and let them start by blasting fish, they probably won't even need to fight afterwards.

What are you worried about, who will be the substitute?

Even Qin Ming was slightly shocked. Although he knew that Lu Mingfei's second soul skill even surpassed Yu Tianheng's Thunderous Might, he only truly understood the power of this soul skill after witnessing it with his own eyes.

If Yu Tianheng's second soul skill had reached the level of a thousand-year-old soul skill of a Soul Master, then Lu Mingfei's second soul skill was even considered above average among the third soul skills of a Soul Master. With just this one move, he was practically invincible at the Great Soul Master level.

He was already thinking about how to change Lu Mingfei's training plan. Ordinary battles would probably be ineffective against Lu Mingfei, and coming here would only be a waste of time.

Xue Qinghe, sitting in the VIP section, was even more shocked. Although Lu Mingfei did not use the so-called mimicry of dragon might, Xue Qinghe could still feel the aura of supreme authority.

A few days ago, the three education committee members had a detailed discussion with him about Lu Mingfei's martial soul and soul skills. Now it seems that they underestimated Lu Mingfei's potential. What is it to defeat a small Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yu Tianheng?

Lu Mingfei's martial soul clearly has more potential yet to be explored. Perhaps it won't be long before he can truly awaken his spiritual domain, at which point he will probably be almost on par with a true god-level martial soul.

-

"Phew." Lu Mingfei let out a soft breath. Xue Qinghe was, after all, a crown prince of a country; he wouldn't just happen to bump into someone in a public restroom.

It's strange, really. He's not exactly a frivolous person. Logically, shouldn't he have subconsciously assumed that Xue Qinghe was just trying to win him over, given Xue Qinghe's performance? After all, the talent he's displaying is truly terrifying.

But for some reason, when he looked into Xue Qinghe's eyes, he always felt something was off. It wasn't the concern of an elder, nor the joy and appreciation for a potential target. If he had to describe it, it was a kind of... tenderness.

Yes, damn gentleness!

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei shuddered. You, the imperial crown prince who could kill two of his own brothers, what kind of gentleness do you have?

It can't be a case of fatherly love awakening, can it? That would be too early.

Anyway, no matter how Lu Mingfei thought about it, something didn't feel right, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so it was better to keep some distance.

After dawdling over washing his face, Lu Mingfei finally went to the registration hall to meet up with the others.

"Did you fall into a pit?" Dugu Yan's first words were not very pleasant.

"Sorry, sorry." Lu Mingfei chuckled awkwardly. It was normal for her to complain after making them wait so long, and there was no malice in Dugu Yan's tone.

The woman who could catch up with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yu Tianheng couldn't possibly be a vicious woman with a heart of stone. At most, she was just a little willful. She was the only granddaughter of a Title Douluo, and her personality was similar to that of Little Heavenly Maiden. Her upbringing was already exceptionally good.

"Alright, now it's time for you all to register. After everyone's done, gather here and we'll find a hotel to rest for the night. We'll go back to the academy tomorrow." Qin Ming clapped his hands, signaling everyone to get started.

The others didn't think much of it; it was just that Lu Mingfei's strength tonight had shocked them. Qin Ming's words also ignited their excitement, and they planned to have a big showdown that night.

While everyone else was queuing for matches, Lu Mingfei and Yu Tianheng, bored, decided to watch a game. Qin Ming called out to them, "Mingfei, Tianheng, you two stay behind!"

"Teacher Qin Ming." Lu Mingfei and Yu Tianheng nodded.

"I've seen your performances, and from any perspective, they're exceptional. In fact, I'd say I'm not qualified to teach you at all." Qin Ming chuckled softly. "Therefore, I can only offer you some of my own insights."

"They're here, they're here." Lu Mingfei's ears perked up; he knew there must be some twist in the story.

"Once Tianheng makes another breakthrough, with the quality of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, he will be virtually invincible among his peers, not to mention Mingfei. Therefore, my suggestion is that you should try not to use your second soul skill when participating in Soul Battles unless it is a critical moment, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of training."

"We understand, Teacher Qin Ming," Yu Tianheng nodded.

"No problem." Lu Mingfei chimed in, thinking to himself, "Isn't it just about letting them use Ultraman to fight monsters? We won't unleash any energy blasts until the very end."

He actually had the same thought. While instant kills were satisfying, they didn't provide much of a gaming experience, and he would get bored quickly. But if he couldn't unleash his ultimate attack, he should at least be allowed to use a sword, right? Otherwise, swinging his fists around would be even less of a gaming experience.

"Good, but remember not to overexert yourself. Prioritize protecting yourselves." Qin Ming patted the two on the shoulder and reminded them, "Let's go watch their match."

The two nodded and followed behind Qin Ming. The three of them headed towards the group led by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Needless to say, Yu Tianheng was worried about the unexpected combinations of support and control, while Lu Mingfei was just there for the fun of it. Why would he watch the match of those two beautiful girls instead of those two groups of burly men?

The Seventeenth Battle Arena.

The three of them found a seat nearby. There weren't that many spectators in the Soul Arena; the crowd was mostly sparse and scattered.

Lu Mingfei looked around and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Someone of Xue Qinghe's status would never come to a place like the Soul Division Arena; it would be too undignified and too dangerous.

"What's wrong, Mingfei?" Qin Ming asked. He could tell that Lu Mingfei seemed inexplicably restless, as if he had hemorrhoids.

"It's nothing," Lu Mingfei shook his head, casually replying, "I was looking for a late-night snack stall, but I don't think I saw one."

"The stalls selling things usually only come up after the game is over," Qin Ming said with a smile. "Eat less, I'll treat you to a big meal at the hotel next door later."

"Thank you, teacher." Lu Mingfei nodded quickly. He didn't really need a big meal right now, but he would still be happy if someone treated him. He probably had a talent for living off women.

Soon it was Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's turn to compete. The two beautiful girls with excellent figures, looks and temperament caused a chorus of screams from the audience as soon as they stepped onto the stage. Even Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh, "Beautiful girls are indeed pleasing to the eye."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling smiled and nodded at the three of them when they saw them on stage. As the host announced the start of the match, the two of them took different positions. Ye Lingling moved to the back of the ring, seemingly ready to jump off at any time, not wanting to hold Dugu Yan back.

This is the tragedy of support-type Soul Masters: they have no combat power whatsoever, and on the arena, they can't even run away.

"Speaking of which, is it just my imagination or what? Don't you guys think that Senior Dugu Yan's hair looks a bit different color?" Lu Mingfei asked uncertainly.

He hadn't noticed it during the day, but just now, after activating his Golden Eyes and glancing over briefly, he suddenly noticed that Dugu Yan's purple hair seemed to have a greenish tinge, similar to the hair color of the Poison Douluo he had seen before. Could it be that the mark of a fully accomplished Azure Phosphorous Serpent Soul Master is that their hair turns green?

Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng were slightly taken aback and pursed their lips.

Yu Tianheng hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Don't say these things to Yan Yan's face."

Did I say something wrong? Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously, as if he had broken some taboo.

"This is actually a characteristic of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. As her cultivation deepens, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom will gradually fuse with her. Under normal circumstances, she avoids direct contact with others, so she wears gloves all year round," Yu Tianheng said.

"True love!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, filled with awe. Judging from Yu Tianheng's words, Dugu Yan was also a poisonous beauty, able to resist poison and woo women?

Dude, you've got guts better than King Kong on the Empire State Building.

Anyway, Lu Mingfei felt that if Chen Wenwen... ugh! Chen Wenwen would be fine.

A rare blush appeared on Yu Tianheng's usually icy face.

"Tianheng is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and his soul power is naturally able to resist the poison of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent, so the two of them are a perfect match in some ways," Qin Ming added.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has immunity to poison?" Lu Mingfei said in surprise.

"This is a natural resistance granted by the blood of a true dragon. However, the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent is indeed terrifying. If Yan Yan's cultivation level were a whole level higher than mine, perhaps even I wouldn't be able to resist it." Yu Tianheng nodded.

Dragon blood can resist poison? Lu Mingfei seemed to have learned something new. He had always been worried about what to do when encountering enemies who used poison. Now it seemed he didn't have to worry so much?

He felt he needed to find an opportunity to test it out. If he remembered correctly, Dugu Yan would give her opponent an antidote after each battle, so there shouldn't be any risk in testing it out. However, he had to be careful not to let anyone else know.

If his mixed-race heritage truly allows him to resist toxins, that would be excellent news. Countless experts have fallen victim to various sleeping potions and rare poisons; at least he wouldn't have to fear being poisoned in his food when he goes out anymore.

Just as Lu Mingfei was considering how to team up with Dugu Yan, his right eyelid suddenly twitched.

"This is bad." Lu Mingfei was actually a little superstitious; he knew that a twitching left eye meant good fortune and a twitching right eye meant bad luck.

He quickly looked up and around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see anyone wearing white.

He had encountered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School trio here last time, and for some reason, he had developed a psychological aversion to them.

However, he soon realized he had been too optimistic.

"Good evening, Teacher Qin Ming, student Yu Tianheng, and Brother Lu." A refreshing voice rang out from behind the three of them.

Lu Mingfei stood there stunned, almost unable to catch his breath.

"Your Highness!" Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng were also somewhat surprised, but they quickly stood up and bowed.

"Brother Xue."

Lu Mingfei quickly turned around, bowed, and greeted him. He was now certain that Xue Qinghe had come to him on purpose, probably because he hadn't given him face a few days ago. Today, he guessed that Xue Qinghe had inquired about Qin Ming's activity patterns in advance and was waiting for him to come.

"Perfect timing! I need to discuss something with Teacher Qin Ming and Brother Lu in a few days, and since we've run into each other tonight, I won't have to make another trip." Xue Qinghe smiled warmly.

Lu Mingfei mentally raised his middle finger; he always felt that the smile seemed to say:

Oh, poor Jerry.
