Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Bibi Dong did not leave, but sat upright in the main seat and waited.

With the Pope's presence, everyone quickened their pace, and even Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo personally joined the inspection team.

Sure enough, just after noon, Chrysanthemum Douluo took out several files and presented them to Bibi Dong with both hands.

"Your Majesty's foresight is truly remarkable. There's something going on in Notting City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Fasno Province." Chrysanthemum Douluo's face lit up with joy. He glanced at the file and immediately made the connection.

"More than three months ago in Holy Soul Village, Notting City, a six-year-old boy awakened the Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power, and his name was Tang San."

"Surname Tang, Blue Silver Grass, innate full soul power? Tang Hao is too lazy to even hide it?" Bibi Dong's expression was a little strange.

Tang Hao allowed the Spirit Hall to awaken his son's spirit, and surprisingly did not kill him to cover it up after discovering that he had innate full spirit power.

"Why wasn't this information submitted three months ago? I remember that files on innate full soul power were required to be submitted, weren't they?" Bibi Dong asked again.

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the Notting City branch hall master, they did indeed submit a report, but it seems the higher-level branch hall did not receive the file. It must have been secretly stolen. Later, it was probably not taken seriously because it was just a mere Blue Silver Grass." Chrysanthemum Douluo's forehead was sweating slightly. It was obvious that the subordinates had not handled things well. However, on the other hand, if things had been handled properly, those branch halls that were involved would definitely have been wiped out by Tang Hao.

Bibi Dong didn't notice Chrysanthemum Douluo's tension because she quickly spotted Notting Academy. She clenched her fist slightly, continued looking at the files, and soon sneered again.

“No wonder Tang Hao couldn’t hide it. Two people with innate full soul power, a once-in-a-century occurrence, appeared in a small city like Notting City. Blue Silver Grass can be overlooked, but he can’t hide this Eye Martial Soul.” Bibi Dong instantly understood the reason for Tang Hao’s sudden appearance, but it didn’t seem to have any necessary connection with the attack on their Spirit Hall.

"There's also a six-year-old level 13 Soul Master with a rabbit martial soul, who is suspected to have innate full soul power?" Bibi Dong frowned. When did innate full soul power become so worthless?

There are also records indicating that this eye-shaped martial soul is suspected of being missing? Was it kidnapped by Tang Hao?

"Your Majesty, the answer is now very clear. This Tang San is definitely that bastard from back then. We should immediately assemble our forces to eliminate this threat." Chrysanthemum Douluo said through gritted teeth; his hatred for Tang Hao was immense.

“Elder Ju is right. This time, you and Elder Gui will lead the team to join the three elders who are currently inspecting the Heaven Dou Empire to investigate the situation.” Bibi Dong quickly issued the order. “Tang Hao may have already left with that bastard, but we cannot rule out the possibility that he deliberately ambushed us there. Therefore, you must be careful on this trip and not underestimate the enemy.”

"Furthermore, that is a Soul Master Academy. If Tang Hao takes the school's teachers and students hostage, you must ensure their safety. He is already at his wit's end, but the principles of our Spirit Hall cannot be broken."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted the order and left. Although he was injured, he could still use his Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Ghost Douluo. This time, with the help of three elders from the Elder Hall, Tang Hao would definitely have no chance of escaping.

Bibi Dong watched Chrysanthemum Douluo's departing figure, then gritted her teeth fiercely: "Tang Hao!"

She was certain that Tang Hao was plotting something there and was just waiting for them to come to him. But Xiao Gang was also there, so she dared not send any more troops. She could only cooperate secretly. Otherwise, if Tang Hao went crazy, Xiao Gang, a great soul master, would definitely lose his life!

Kingdom of Barak

Lu Mingfei stayed in the mountains for half a month, figuring out his next plan, before finally leaving the mountains to go to the Spirit Hall to collect his subsidy.

For the past two weeks, he has truly lived a life of wilderness survival, relying entirely on dry food and small fish and shrimp from the river to survive.

Referring to the map in his mind, Lu Mingfei traveled eastward and soon arrived at the Kingdom of Barak. He landed at a random corner of the mountains and forests and walked to the local Martial Soul Branch Hall.

The scale here is similar to that of the Nottingham branch temple, but the flow of people is obviously much larger.

"Hello, Deacon, I'm here to have my soul power assessed," Lu Mingfei said respectfully.

"Soul power assessment? So young?" The white-robed deacon stared in surprise at Lu Mingfei's youthful face. There was no such young genius in their city.

"Come in with me." The white-robed steward was somewhat excited, and soon the two entered a quiet room.

"Alright, unleash your martial spirit and spirit rings."

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes, and with a thought, his golden pupils, at their lowest level, lit up. He deliberately suppressed his aura, and a yellow soul ring appeared above his head.

"A hundred-year-old spirit ring, an eye-shaped spirit?" The white-robed deacon gasped. "What kind of spirit beast did you absorb? What are its spirit skills?"

The white-robed deacon was incredibly curious. An unprecedented martial soul, and a rare first soul ring in a century—he was now completely focused on achieving his performance targets.

"My spirit ring comes from a sunflower, and my spirit skill is night vision, which allows me to see very far even at night." Lu Mingfei casually mentioned the spirit skill he had made up, otherwise he felt it would be too troublesome to explain why the spirit skill of an eye-type martial soul was acceleration.

"Night vision?" The white-robed deacon was somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, he realized that this was indeed a soul skill that complemented the eyes, giving it a great advantage in reconnaissance. It was just a pity that it could only be used for support and had little combat power.

Thinking of this, his desire to recruit them waned slightly; a useless martial spirit had no value in recruiting.

"Let's try injecting soul power."

Lu Mingfei obediently placed his hand on it, and soon a yellow light shone on.

"Level 14?" The white-robed deacon opened his mouth, his mind blank. Could someone tell him whether this was considered genius or trash?

Chapter 21 Seeking Education

Lu Mingfei stepped out the door, a gold soul coin tucked into his pocket, his steps slightly unsteady.

After becoming a Soul Master, one can earn one Soul Master's Soul every month, and one Soul Master's Soul is enough to cover the living expenses of a family of three in the city for two or three months.

In the past, this would have been considered petty bourgeois.

Although his parents used to give him much more in child support each month, the only pocket money he could actually spend was enough to buy a bottle of energy drink when he went online on weekends.

"Boss, two roast chickens." Lu Mingfei waved his hand and retaliated with a big purchase.

He had been eating dry rations in the mountains for half a month and his mouth was so dry it was practically parched.

He did consider hunting, but later realized he hadn't brought any seasonings with him, and apart from small fish and shrimp, nothing else he could roast was inedible.

With a chicken leg in his mouth, Lu Mingfei left the city. His luggage was still hidden in the woods outside the city. Every time he thought about it, he really wanted to get a storage soul tool.

However, this item is not even in stock in some small city stores. I asked the shop owner and found out that this item is scarce everywhere. Even the cheapest storage soul tool costs several hundred gold soul coins.

It was only then that Lu Mingfei realized that the master was truly ruthless. He had given away nearly ten thousand gold soul coins as a gift. No wonder Tang San was so devoted to him. If you look at the numbers, that's equivalent to a property in the city center. He was really willing to spend money for his guinea pig.

If he had encountered such a stroke of good fortune when he was six years old, he would have been hit with several bumps before he knew to turn back.

We're still poor.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, left the city, and prepared to find a place to rest for a while before using his flying ability to travel again at night.

He spent the last two weeks in the mountains thinking it over, and decided to go to school. He knew that working in isolation wouldn't work; an academy was still an academy, with systematic teaching materials and the experience of predecessors. Maybe there were some methods or techniques that could speed up his cultivation.

Moreover, some mid-to-high-level academies are the places where he is most likely to safely come into contact with high-level Soul Masters. In the early stages, whether it is to develop in a sneaky manner or to gather information, they are the best choices.

He had seen some admission brochures for intermediate and advanced academies in the Notting City Library, and the one recommended first was the Heaven Dou Royal Intermediate Soul Master Academy.

Lu Mingfei decided to give it a try. This place, which is equivalent to a national key high school, looks like it has hidden talents. Even if he can't get in, he can just treat it as a trip to Tiandou City to explore the map. Anyway, he can fly fast and travel for two nights.

After strolling around the streets for a while and replenishing his supplies, Lu Mingfei left the city, intending to rest during the day.

To be honest, when he first appeared in the wilderness, he was afraid of being carried away by wolves if he sat in the open, but now he really is living the life of a vagrant.

-

Two days later, Nottingham.

In the afternoon, the sky was somewhat gloomy and drowsy, making one feel sleepy.

However, Xiao Wu was still full of energy, leading her underlings to cause trouble everywhere.

Lu Mingfei has been missing for more than half a month. Although everyone was a little sad at first, they have gotten used to it now.

Even Tang San believed that Lu Mingfei must have met with some misfortune, and that successfully hunting a soul was simply impossible. He couldn't enter the Soul Hunting Forest and hadn't returned; surely he couldn't have gone to the Star Dou Great Forest? It seemed like a near-death experience.

Tang San put the matter of this formidable enemy out of his mind and then thought of Xiao Wu. He felt that he and Xiao Wu had gotten along very well during this period, and he had even taken her to visit the teacher several times. Xiao Wu was much more well-behaved than Lu Mingfei. The teacher always had a smile on his face when he saw Xiao Wu, which gave him a strange feeling of home.

Xiao Wu is his beloved younger sister, and the master is his loving elder.

He had never experienced such a warm feeling in his previous life in the Tang Sect, not even in the days he spent in Holy Soul Village.

Tang San sat cross-legged on the bed when a deep but incredibly familiar voice rang out in front of him, interrupting his meditation.

"Little three."

When Tang San opened his eyes, he almost thought he had gone into a demonic illusion. This was the dormitory of Notting Academy. His father would suddenly appear here, and his Xuan Tian Gong hadn't noticed anything.

"dad."

But he quickly realized it was all true, and his nose tingled with emotion, tears welling up in his eyes. He stepped forward and hugged Tang Hao.

"Little San, I've come to take you away." Tang Hao, draped in a black robe, gently patted Tang San's head.

"Leave? What happened to Dad?" Tang Hao's words made him uneasy. He knew that his father was hiding his identity, and in his experience, this situation could only mean that his enemies were chasing him.

"There's no time to explain. Take Xiao Wu with you, we're leaving soon. I'll explain when we're safe." Tang Hao's weathered face suddenly furrowed as he looked out the window, then grabbed Tang San's shoulder and vanished instantly.

Tang San didn't have time to see what was happening before he stopped and realized that he had arrived at the back mountain of the academy, where Xiao Wu and several of his roommates were.

The moment the two appeared, everyone was startled as if they had seen a ghost, and Xiao Wu's rosy face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Xiao Wu?" Tang San was a little stunned. His father was going to take Xiao Wu with him?

Just as he was still confused, several dark figures rushed from the clouds on the horizon, their immense soul power causing the clouds to churn.

Upon seeing this, Tang Hao instantly used his soul power to subdue Xiao Wu, then stunned all the children. At the same time, he covered Xiao Wu with his black robe and handed her to Tang San.

"You audacious remnant of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao, today is the day you and that bastard will die!" The voice of the old acquaintance Chrysanthemum Douluo rang out, and the figures of five Title Douluos descended above Notting Academy, simultaneously unleashing their Martial Soul True Forms. Such an astonishing commotion plunged the entire city of Notting into panic.

"Dad!" Tang San couldn't help but tremble. He never expected that the enemies his father was hiding from were actually five Title Douluos!

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo immediately unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The last battle proved that although Tang Hao could forcibly break through their domain, the cost was astonishing. This time, they had three helpers, and Tang Hao would have no chance of escaping again.

"Xiao San, don't be afraid, hold Xiao Wu tight." Tang Hao said softly, then summoned the Clear Sky Hammer. Nine spirit rings instantly unfolded from his body, especially the last red spirit ring, which instantly neutralized the pressure from the five people.

"You think you can keep me here?" Tang Hao laughed domineeringly. In an instant, the Clear Sky Hammer in his right hand expanded thousands of times, and red lines appeared on the Clear Sky Hammer. In the blink of an eye, the entire hammer turned completely red.

With two children in his left arm, Tang Hao leaped into the air, while his right hand swung a massive hammer the size of a small mountain, furiously slamming it down on the five people.

Such an astonishing fluctuation of soul power greatly alarmed the leader, Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo.

"not good!"

Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo unleashed his full soul power using his Martial Soul Fusion Technique to withstand the attack, while the remaining three Title Douluos immediately unleashed their strongest soul skills.

The deafening roar, as if a divine punishment, shook the entire city of Nottingham, causing all the residents to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

The five figures flew backwards out of the city, and the giant red hammer disappeared as well.

"Tang Hao!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others stared palely in the direction where Tang Hao had disappeared; that hammer blow had almost cost him his life.

Even if he were asked to chase after them now, he wouldn't dare. They originally thought that Tang Hao, who was injured, couldn't possibly be a match for so many of them, but who would have thought that he could still unleash such an amazing attack.

If Tang Hao were healthy today, they would all probably have perished here.

"Let's go back and report."

The five men disappeared. Having repeatedly failed in their duties, they will likely face severe punishment upon their return.

-

In a secluded mountain forest, Xiao Wu slowly awoke. Before her stood Tang San's anxious face and Tang Hao's expressionless, cold face, his clothes tattered and torn.

Her delicate face turned deathly pale. She knew exactly what had just happened: six Title Douluos! Her identity had been exposed!

"Let's do it." Xiao Wu closed her eyes.

"Dad." Tang San didn't know what had happened, but he realized that Xiao Wu's identity was probably extraordinary.

"I will not lay a hand on you." Tang Hao shook his head. "The mistress's mother would not allow me to do so either."

Xiao Wu opened her eyes; if she were alive, she certainly didn't want to die.

"Mother?" Tang San's heart skipped a beat. Having lived two lives, he had no recollection of the word "mother".

“Little San, it’s time to tell you something.” A hint of confusion appeared in Tang Hao’s eyes: “Actually, I am a disciple of the Haotian Sect, the number one sect on the continent, and your mother is the Blue Silver Emperor, a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.”

Tang Hao recounted his experiences over the past twenty years, and Tang San finally understood just how complicated his background had been.

"I originally planned to distract them by attacking the Spirit Hall branch and destroy all your files, but I didn't expect to be ambushed at the seventh branch." Tang Hao coughed up blood as he said this.

"Dad," Tang San said anxiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that my old injuries flared up from fighting today." Tang Hao breathed a few sighs and continued, "I thought that if your files disappeared, you wouldn't be discovered, but I didn't expect the Spirit Hall to have such a keen sense of smell. They must have conducted a thorough investigation across the entire continent. This time, the gathering of three people with full innate spirit power can't be kept secret from anyone!"

"The Spirit Hall is truly despicable, and Lu Mingfei is also involved!" Tang San gritted his teeth inwardly.

Through Tang Hao's description, Tang San already knew that their exposure was all because Lu Mingfei came to Notting City to awaken his martial soul.

Even if Lu Mingfei was completely unaware, Tang San had already attributed part of the accidental attack to him, and Lu Mingfei had really caused a great deal of harm.

"Dad, Lu Mingfei is missing. Is it you?" Tang San suddenly asked.

"It wasn't me. He was already gone when I came back from recovering from my injuries." Tang Hao shook his head. He had his pride too; how could he possibly lay a hand on a kid on the street?

Xiao Wu listened from the side, feeling complicated. She couldn't blame anyone; Lu Mingfei and Tang San were the reasons for her exposure. She could only blame her own bad luck, encountering a Title Douluo as soon as she left home.

"We're quite close to the Star Dou Great Forest now. Feel free to leave if you wish," Tang Hao said to Xiao Wu in a low voice. "The Spirit Hall probably didn't discover your presence today. In a few years, you can change your name and continue your cultivation in another city."

Xiao Wu couldn't believe her ears. Tang Hao seemed to really be going to let her go. She thought that once she grew up a few years later, as long as she didn't register with the Spirit Hall again, everything would be fine.

"Xiao Wu." Tang San's eyes were filled with reluctance. "Since your cultivation cannot be separated from humans, why don't you come with us to Soto City to start over? Your father and I will protect you."
