Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

"You're the genius that Prince Qinghe mentioned, the one hailed as the greatest genius in the world?"

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Lu Mingfei was prepared to be summoned, but he was still a little confused by Xue Qinghe's boasting.

Davis looked at Lu Mingfei, who was dressed in a sharp black suit and was only seven years old, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Is this seemingly harmless and even somewhat cowardly child the Heavenly Dou Empire is preparing to deal with tonight as its ultimate trump card?

"It's all just hearsay, everyone's just being kind." Lu Mingfei forced himself to remain calm in front of everyone, clearly he had gone too far today. He could imagine how many people would want to beat him up if this nickname got out tomorrow.

Upon hearing Lu Mingfei's answer, Davis's smile widened. So-called geniuses inevitably have an innate arrogance. Lu Mingfei's attitude was not one of humility, but rather one of unease. Such a person, even if truly gifted, can never compare to a real warrior on the battlefield.

"So, Lu Mingfei? As a fellow Great Soul Master, I can't pretend I haven't heard of the saying 'invincible among those of the same level.' So, where is the venue? I think Prince Qinghe should have already prepared it by now, right?" Davis's tone was as unrestrained and confident as his image.

Although he knew it was a trap, he was confident in his own strength. The White Tiger Martial Soul of the Star Luo Dai family was not just a name. Even if Haotian Douluo had suppressed it by seven levels during the Great Soul Master stage, he still could not defeat the White Tiger Martial Soul.

Looking at the other person's spirited and youthful appearance, Lu Mingfei felt a slight pang of pity. The other person was still a middle school student, and what he was about to do seemed a bit cruel to him. He thought to himself, "Sorry, sorry, I really have a reason not to lose, so I can only let you, little kid, suffer a little setback. Anyway, you have a super hot fiancée who can comfort you later, so it's not a loss."

Zhu Tianxiang and Zhu Zhuyun, who were standing to the side, did not speak either. In the Star Luo Empire, the strong are respected, not to mention that this was a provocation from their mortal enemy, Tian Dou. Facing an enemy who was so much younger and whose soul power was seven levels lower, if Davis were to back down, he might not even have a chance at the throne.

"The royal training ground is to the right of the Imperial Garden." Xue Qinghe stood up and clapped his hands lightly. The royal guard captain next to him immediately nodded and prepared to be on guard.

Only a very few qualified people will be able to enter the training ground later. This is to show that no matter what the result is, it is just a private sparring match and will not be widely publicized, so that the two sides have not fallen out.

"Then thank you very much, Prince Qinghe." Davis could naturally see through it. He was polite on the surface, but in his heart he thought that Tian Dou was being pretentious. What was the point of making such a small move? The winner takes all, so there was no point in covering up the news.

Soon, the Royal Guards entered the scene, and everyone in the Lakeside Pavilion left their seats and moved to the training ground that had been prepared in advance. As for the other guests, although they realized what had happened, they were ultimately unable to get close and could only stare blankly, wondering what had happened.

However, some clever people still guessed the clues. After all, Emperor Xueye had just summoned Lu Mingfei in, and that name had recently become quite well-known in Tiandou City.

-

The Royal Training Ground was specially built by the Heavenly Dou Emperor at the beginning of the dynasty to encourage the royal children to cultivate. It covers a vast area, so even if dozens of royal children are training together, it will not feel crowded. It has all kinds of simulated training grounds suitable for swan martial souls, as well as readily available weapons.

Unfortunately, having many offspring has always been a luxury for the royal family. This training ground has almost become a place with only symbolic meaning. If Xue Qinghe hadn't specially sent people to tidy it up in advance, it would probably be a wasteland now.

After everyone was seated, Lu Mingfei and Davis stood facing each other in the center of the training ground.

The moon hangs high in the sky, casting ethereal shadows, and even without a campfire, the night will not feel dark at all.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Poison Douluo Xue Xing sat on the left, while Xue Qinghe, Emperor Xue Ye, and the trio from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sat in the center, and Zhu Tianxiang and Zhu Zhuyun sat on the right.

"What does Mr. Dugu Bo think?" Prince Xuexing asked softly. He was probably the only one on the Tiandou side who wanted Lu Mingfei to lose.

Poison Douluo shook his head slightly. Even though he had never seen Lu Mingfei make a move, just from the attitudes of Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Chen Xinxin of the Sword Dao, he knew that Prince Xuexing's expectations would definitely be disappointed.

He was actually quite curious about Lu Mingfei. His eyes were a martial soul, he could suppress his mind, and he could even mimic the might of a dragon. If the other party hadn't already been targeted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would have already kidnapped him and taken him back as a closed disciple.

Standing on the field, Lu Mingfei looked at the tall, imposing prince with an aristocratic air in front of him. Thinking about how his fiancée had whispered encouragement to him when the prince first came on stage, he felt a little envious.

How can the difference between people be greater than the difference between people and pigs?

"I've seen your file. If I remember correctly, you're a swordsman, right?" Davis said condescendingly. It was a bit absurd that a child who wasn't even as tall as his chest could become his opponent.

Lu Mingfei nodded and casually took out his iron awl. In fact, with his current wealth and status, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be happy to offer him a suitable divine weapon if he just asked. However, he still felt that this iron awl was more handy, at least for use when throwing a match. Otherwise, if he was killed instantly, there would be nothing to say.

"A mere firewood stick? Are the students of the Royal Academy really that stingy?" As a prince, Davis naturally had a discerning eye. He could easily break this mere iron rod with a single claw later. "You may use any of the swords, spears, and halberds around you. Don't be shy."

"No need." Lu Mingfei shook his head. Although he initially felt a little sorry for bullying a child, Davis's arrogant attitude still made him slightly unhappy.

He thought to himself: "Your girlfriend is so hot, fine, but you still want to act tough and act like a big shot in front of me? No way!" He decided to get a little serious and teach this young prince of Xingluo what the wickedness of society really meant.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Xue Qinghe stepped forward to act as the referee for the evening: "Tonight is just a friendly sparring match, let's stop when we've reached our goal, and let's not hurt each other's feelings."

"I now declare the sparring session officially open."

As soon as Xue Qinghe finished speaking, he retreated to the edge of the arena. At the same time, the soul power on Lu Mingfei and Davis began to surge.

"I rarely say that." Davis made claws with his hands, and the next moment, white hair phantoms covered his entire body. His neat white shirt was instantly torn apart by his bulging muscles, and two yellow spirit rings floated around him: "Davis, spirit white tiger, level 29 great spirit master, please enlighten me."

Lu Mingfei didn't waste any words. Golden ripples appeared in his eyes, and an invisible pressure spread throughout the entire arena at the speed of light. Two yellow spirit rings floated above his head.

"Lu Mingfei, Martial Soul: Golden Eyes, Level 22 Great Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

The training ground, bathed in moonlight, was instantly enveloped in a golden glow as the golden eyes lit up.

Gasps rose from the field. Even though they had seen it once before, the mental pressure that made their martial spirits tremble still made them feel a momentary unease.

Zhu Tianxiang and Zhu Zhuyun, who were seated, changed their expressions. The astonishing pressure alone was enough to prove that this was a top-tier martial soul comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Clear Sky Hammer.

Davis, who was being stared at directly by Golden Eyes, could no longer maintain his calm and confident demeanor.

"This is a monster!" Davis thought, his heart pounding.

The moment that originally timid child unleashed his martial spirit, it was as if a weight had been placed on his heart.

Fortunately, the pride of the White Tiger Martial Soul allowed him to mobilize all his soul power to overcome this fear. He immediately abandoned his contemptuous attitude. Without a doubt, this was an enemy that he would have to use all his strength to deal with.

"Are you ready?" Lu Mingfei asked, noticing the cold sweat beading on Davis's forehead. "I'm about to make my move."

Normally, he would only activate the minimum level of Golden Eyes at the start, but today he put in a little more effort as a greeting gift for the Crown Prince of Xingluo. "Middle school student, focus on your cultivation, what are you talking about, dating?!"

Davis knew that if Lu Mingfei had attacked the instant his mental pressure was unleashed, he would probably have been instantly killed. Therefore, without hesitation, he immediately went all out to counter, his first spirit ring lighting up instantly: "First Spirit Skill, White Tiger Protective Shield."

At the same time, Lu Mingfei disappeared from his spot, but instead of using swordsmanship, he kicked Davis directly in the chest.

Davis took a deep breath and did not intend to dodge, but rather prepared to take the kick head-on and then quickly suppress his opponent in close combat.

He would have been more cautious if the attack was imbued with soul power. He had read Lu Mingfei's analysis and found that the opponent's biggest weakness in close combat was usually attrition through swordsmanship. But for some reason, he chose to start with hand-to-hand combat today.

However, when he heard a muffled thud in his chest, he suddenly felt something was wrong. It was too light, only at the level of an ordinary Great Soul Master. But could Lu Mingfei be that ordinary?

As expected, Lu Mingfei immediately dodged the tiger's claws that were trying to restrain him, leaped into the air, and came behind Davis. With a backhand slash, he thrust straight into Davis's back while still in mid-air.

Do you really think he just played around with weak opponents in all those matches at the Great Soul Arena?

Defensive Soul Masters are always very confident in their ability to withstand damage, and their favorite tactic is to fight head-on. The Soul Skill configuration of the Star Luo White Tiger Martial Soul clearly indicates that it is a tank warrior.

Lu Mingfei lured the enemy in slightly, and Davis took the bait. Now he was using all his strength to lunge forward and grab, leaving his back wide open.

However, it's not easy to use leverage when attacking in mid-air. The White Tiger Protective Barrier provides all-around defense, and Davis, with his keen combat instincts, didn't pull back or turn around but instead rolled forward, barely dodging the attack.

But this inevitably left him looking disheveled; he almost suffered a setback on his very first move.

"That was beautiful." Although Lu Mingfei's attack failed, everyone on the field felt a pleasing aesthetic of combat, a display of effortless skill.

Despite being reduced to a crouching tiger, Davis did not lose heart and immediately organized a counterattack. It was the rage of the king of beasts, and the illusory tiger claws instantly turned and swung down at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei channeled his soul power to cover the sword, unleashing a Kasaya Slash that met Davis's tiger claw. The condensed soul power collided, producing a dull sound like metal clashing with stone.

Davis never imagined that his powerful level 29 soul power would be blocked by level 22 soul power.

In Lu Mingfei's hands, that fire poker seemed to become the hardest shield in the world. Even among defensive soul masters of the same level 29, few could withstand the continuous strikes of his tiger claws.

"Damn, that power is no joke." Lu Mingfei kept adjusting his angle of attack and thought to himself. After all, Davis had several levels more soul power, and his strength was actually above Yu Tianheng's normal level. However, without the lightning enchantment of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, it was actually easier to deal with.

However, Davis found it hard to accept that after using his first soul skill in a fair and square power duel, he had not gained the upper hand.

Fueled by rage, the tiger's claws became even more ferocious, its terrifying, tidal wave of fury crashing down on Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the other party, but he didn't pay attention to it. He pressed one hand on the back of the blade and used a powerful slash like splitting a mountain, accompanied by a sharp whistling wind, to break through the tsunami waves in front of him.

The two sides engaged in a fierce head-on clash. Lu Mingfei wielded his sword with both hands, directly confronting the tiger's claws. As his soul power circulated, the light in his golden eyes grew increasingly intense.

Davis immediately felt an increasingly heavy, oppressive pressure descend upon him, a pressure emanating from his soul and body. He felt as if he were facing a colossal mountain that could crush him at any moment.

Everyone outside the arena felt the increasingly heavy aura of authority. Those who knew him well understood that it was Lu Mingfei's first soul skill unleashed. Under this stalemate, Lu Mingfei's mental pressure was about to turn the last straw that broke the balance into a force that could topple the world.

Do not!

Davis roared inwardly, the immense pressure making it seem as if all he could see was a golden world. He struggled in the golden swamp, completely unable to extricate himself.

He seemed to be really going to lose, but how could the prince of the Star Luo Empire, the future Star Luo Emperor, agree to that?

"Roar!" A tiger's roar suddenly erupted in the arena, instantly shattering the fragile balance. Lu Mingfei, holding his sword, was immediately forced back several steps.

Before him, Davis's soul power surged, his golden hair flew, and a completely different soul power aura gathered around him.

"Davis has broken through!" Zhu Zhuyun in the audience exclaimed softly.

Ning Rongrong, who was sitting in her seat, suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. A quasi-Soul Master is still a Soul Master. Even without Soul Skills, the level of Soul Power condensation alone is a cut above that of a Great Soul Master. The original gap in Soul Power between the two sides has now been widened even further!

Neither of them spoke, but they exchanged a glance. Davis's eyes shone with fierce fighting spirit, while Lu Mingfei's golden eyes shone as brightly as the sun.

Round two officially begins!
