Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

"Student Lu, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy, I welcome you to join us! By the way, please demonstrate your Martial Soul and Soul Rings. We need to understand the characteristics of your Martial Soul before we can report to the three Education Committee members and formulate a better training plan." Director Lin suppressed his excitement and showed a gentle smile.

Which teacher wouldn't be excited to have such a talented student come to them?

Lu Mingfei nodded, activated his Golden Eyes with a thought, and a hundred-year soul ring appeared above his head. He then repeated what he had said in the carriage.

After hearing this, Director Lin felt a little sorry that his first soul ring had been a plant-type soul beast, but the amplification skill was still somewhat useful, so it wasn't a waste of a skill slot.

Chapter 24 Finding Fault

"By the way, Lu, I wonder which junior college you graduated from?" Director Lin asked casually in his delight.

"Notting Junior Soul Master Academy." Lu Mingfei scratched his cheek. He wasn't really a graduate yet, but he had already prepared an excuse.

"Is it Notting Academy in Notting City, Fasno Province?" Director Lin exclaimed in surprise.

Even Xue Qinghe's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Mingfei was completely baffled. Why did everyone's expressions suddenly change when it was just a rural college?

Xue Qinghe shook his head and said, "The definite news has come that four days ago, a battle broke out in Notting City, Fasno Province, involving multiple Title Douluos. The reason is that the Spirit Hall discovered Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo who killed the previous Pope and disrupted the peace of the continent, as well as his son who is studying at Notting Academy."

"In the end, the Spirit Hall's pursuit failed, and both father and son escaped. It is said that the entire city was stunned by the shock, but fortunately there were no casualties."

"Tang San?" Lu Mingfei immediately recognized that this was referring to Tang San. He knew Tang San had a powerful background, but he hadn't expected it to be this powerful.

The titled Douluo who killed the previous Pope? And he even dares to ask the Spirit Hall to awaken his spirit and claim a subsidy? Is there something wrong with this guy surnamed Tang's brain?

"Do you know Brother Lu?" Xue Qinghe suddenly asked.

Lu Mingfei nodded: "We used to share a work-study dormitory. He was a Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power, but I left school more than half a month ago, so I'm not very familiar with him."

"So that's how it is. Two people with innate full soul power actually appeared in a small Notting Academy. No wonder Haotian Douluo, who had been hiding for many years, was suddenly exposed." Xue Qinghe said softly.

Given the magnitude of the incident, they naturally dispatched their men to investigate, but the exact details were still on their way, and they never expected to encounter the person involved now.

Hey, hey, hey, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt his eyelids twitching. Did Xue Qinghe mean that this was related to him?

He suddenly recalled the strange impulse he had when he entered Notting Academy. Now that he thought about it, could it be that this Haotian Douluo was hiding in the shadows, considering whether or not to kill him?

Holy crap! He actually encountered the final boss in the starting village and almost got killed without even realizing it.

"Don't panic, Haotian Douluo wouldn't lay a hand on a child." Xue Qinghe saw Lu Mingfei's lingering fear and chuckled to comfort him.

“That’s right, these are all old cases from the past, they have nothing to do with you.” Director Lin nodded and said.

"I hope so." Lu Mingfei said this, but in his heart he was thinking that the little brat named Tang San was more cunning than anyone else. If they met in the future, he would definitely be a problem.

"Alright, let's leave it at that." Xue Qinghe said, ending the conversation. "By the way, Director Lin, my father sent me here today to ask you for a favor. Xue Beng is unruly, and I hope you can keep a close eye on him in the coming days. If he doesn't make a breakthrough, he's not allowed to leave the academy."

"Second Brother," Xue Beng called out from the side. He wouldn't be able to leave the school for several months.

"Calling me won't help; this is Father's order," Xue Qinghe said coldly.

"Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured that I will certainly follow your orders and take good care of Prince Xue Beng." Director Lin bowed slightly.

“In that case, it’s time for me to leave. Farewell.” Xue Qinghe nodded slightly. “Brother Lu, I’ll take my leave first.”

Xue Qinghe bid farewell, and the others all stood up to see him off. Lu Mingfei quickly followed, his luggage still in the hands of the Knights.

After Xue Qinghe left, Xue Beng also swaggered away. Director Lin took Lu Mingfei to the Academic Affairs Office to register his enrollment information and test his soul power level.

After all the formalities were completed, Director Lin smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "From now on, you are a student of our Tiandou Royal Intermediate Academy. Tuition and fees will be waived. In addition, I will apply for a scholarship for you. When you break through to the Great Soul Master level, you can directly enter the Tiandou Royal Advanced Academy on the mountain."

"Thank you, Director Lin." Lu Mingfei bowed respectfully. Sure enough, top students get preferential treatment wherever they go. You know, scholarships have been something he's basically never been able to get since he was a child.

"Good boy."

Director Lin smiled kindly: "I'll take you to the logistics department to get your school uniform first, then have someone take you to your dormitory and help you get familiar with the college environment. Classes will officially start tomorrow."

Director Lin led Lu Mingfei to the college's logistics department to collect several sets of school uniforms. As expected of the Royal Academy, they were very wealthy and generous, buying clothes in bulk. Afterwards, a senior student with a rather upright appearance took him to his dormitory to put his things away and give him a tour of the campus.

"You're the new student who came with His Highness the Crown Prince today? My name is Li Lan," Li Lan introduced herself.

"Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei had a good impression of this senior student; someone who could be sent out by Director Lin couldn't possibly be a bad person.

"I heard you have innate full soul power, no wonder you, a commoner, were recommended by His Highness the Crown Prince to be admitted to the school." Li Lan seemed very enthusiastic, helping Lu Mingfei carry his clothes and introducing the academy along the way.

Lu Mingfei then realized that the primary requirement for enrolling in the Royal Academy was neither tuition fees nor qualifications, but rather having a noble status recognized by the Heaven Dou Empire. If he hadn't met Xue Qinghe, he wouldn't have even been able to get in.

However, on the other hand, he already had a premonition and was preparing to return to the city to find other academies, such as the one on the map called Blue Tyrant Academy. He felt that it should be related to the legendary Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan mentioned in the book, as they both had dragon martial souls. Originally, this was his second target.

Soon the two arrived at the dormitory building, which, though called a dormitory, was actually as luxurious as a classic hotel.

After getting the key from the dormitory manager, Lu Mingfei opened his dormitory room 312.

Each student was assigned a single room with a double bed. When Lu Mingfei went upstairs, he noticed that there were staff members who collected and washed clothes for each dormitory. It was a typical corrupt bourgeois service, utterly inhumane.

"My God," Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "So this is what life is like for noble gentlemen."

"Okay, put your things down, change into your school uniform, and I'll take you for a walk around the cafeteria and the teaching building," Li Lan said.

Lu Mingfei nodded. The dormitory manager had just said that the sanitation team would come up to clean up soon. He hesitated for a moment, but finally just put his luggage on the table in the center of the room.

It wasn't that he was afraid the small amount of stuff would be stolen, but rather that he was afraid someone would come and treat his bundle as trash and throw it away.

Afterwards, he quickly changed into his school uniform, grabbed his keys, and followed Li Lan out the door.

"Our academy has top-notch facilities in every aspect. We can also apply to use the simulated training grounds of the advanced academy on the mountain. The canteen is also self-service and open all day long," Li Lan explained as they walked.

"However, since the students are all nobles from various regions of Tiandou, the academic atmosphere is not very serious, and there is a general phenomenon of comparison. In addition, there may be a few outrageous students who bully others by abusing their power."

When Li Lan got to this point, she suddenly lowered her voice as if she were doing something wrong: "Especially the group of academy overlords led by Prince Avalanche, who often acted recklessly. Given his status, as long as his behavior wasn't too outrageous, the teachers could only turn a blind eye."

"However, since you were introduced by the Crown Prince, they shouldn't do anything to you," Li Lan reminded her.

"Are you sure?" Lu Mingfei looked at the group of four who suddenly appeared in front of them like highway robbers, feeling somewhat helpless.

He noticed that Xue Beng was looking over with a mischievous grin on the playground not far away.

If he remembered correctly, he had already gone through this kind of plot a month ago. So now, the only plot in the academy is school bullying?

Chapter 25 Taking Action

"Oh no, it's them!" Li Lan's face immediately turned ugly.

He was just a country nobleman, his status was worlds apart from the sons of the great nobles of Tiandou City, not to mention that these people were following Prince Xue Beng.

It's obvious at a glance that they were probably sent on orders from Avalanche to give the new students a hard time.

"Hey, Li Lan, why didn't you run away today?" Zi, the leader of the group of four, spoke up. He was probably fifteen or sixteen years old and a head taller than Li Lan. His tone was very unfriendly.

“Student Zhao, I’m showing the new students around the campus on Director Lin’s orders. This student is with His Highness the Crown Prince today, so please make way.” Li Lan was very restrained; normally he would avoid these kinds of people.

Upon hearing about the Crown Prince's connection, the other three hesitated, but the purple-haired man continued, looking at Lu Mingfei: "So you're the one with innate full soul power who enrolled today. As a classmate, I wonder if you could satisfy my curiosity and have a friendly spar with me, so I can see how you compare to Yu Tianheng from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"What a joke! Lu only enrolled today, and he's only six years old. You're already fifteen and in the seventeenth grade. How can you spar with him?" Li Lan stood in front of Lu Mingfei. No matter what, this was a task assigned by Director Lin, and he couldn't stand by and watch such a young freshman be bullied.

"It's alright, we'll spar with you." The three people behind Purple Hair stepped forward. Their division of labor today was very clear: to create opportunities for Purple Hair.

Of course they were afraid of the Crown Prince, but no one could find fault with a fair competition at the Soul Master Academy, especially with their leader, Xue Beng, backing them up.

"Heh, so you're too scared to try? So this is what they call a genius. You're nowhere near as good as Yu Tianheng." Purple Hair said. Xue Beng had just taken the blame for him, and he had to repay the favor.

Lu Mingfei felt a headache coming on and thought to himself, "Where did this low-quality provocation technique come from?"

But if he doesn't take the bait, he probably won't be able to leave today, and he'll also drag an innocent, well-meaning bystander into the mess. The last thing he wants is to cause trouble for others.

"Fine, shall we do it right here?" Lu Mingfei asked helplessly, he was really speechless about this kind of royal succession struggle.

Li Lan wanted to say something more, but seeing Lu Mingfei shaking his head, she could only stand aside, secretly hoping that a genius might really be able to create a miracle.

"Good, you've got guts. But not here. The school has a dedicated training ground. We'll have a fair fight there." Purple Hair smiled contemptuously and led the way.

He had already heard from Xue Beng that although Xin Sheng was born with full soul power, he was only 6 years old and his soul power was level 14. Moreover, his first soul skill was vision enhancement, which had no offensive power. He, on the other hand, was 15 years old this year and his soul power was already level 17. There was no way he could lose.

That's why he readily agreed to let Xue Beng give this new student a hard time. As for whether the new student would retaliate if his cultivation surpassed Xue Beng's later, he wasn't worried. He was the eldest son of the Duke, and even Emperor Xue Ye couldn't do anything to him when he hadn't made any mistakes.

The Royal Intermediate Academy's training ground is a flat building similar to a gymnasium, divided into many areas specifically for students' soul skill training and practical combat instruction. It is always equipped with medical support personnel and is supervised by dedicated academy teachers.

Similar battles between Soul Masters must be conducted under the supervision of teachers outside the arena, and killing blows are prohibited.

The group continued walking, which soon sparked a heated discussion.

A new student with innate full soul power challenges the academy's notorious bully upon arrival. Such an interesting event immediately attracts a large group of busybodies.

When they arrived at the training ground, half of the students from the academy were already there, ready to watch the show, and there were even people on the sidelines placing bets.

"You want to fight each other?" The teacher on duty glared at the two people in front of him, who were of vastly different heights. He couldn't stand such blatant bullying, even as a teacher. However, after confirming Lu Mingfei's consent, he didn't say anything more.

They couldn't possibly refuse the soul battles between students; it was an inevitable path for soul masters.

Soon the two arrived at an open space, and after the teacher on duty announced the rules, the battle officially began.

Purple Hair was the first to activate his Martial Soul. A yellow hundred-year soul ring rose from his feet, and his whole body was covered with a purple halo: "Zhao Tianming, Martial Soul: Purple Leopard, Level 17 Soul Master, please give me your guidance."

This was Lu Mingfei's first time engaging in such a formal Soul Battle, but he knew the rules. After a slight pause, he immediately spoke: "Lu Mingfei, Martial Soul: Golden Eyes, Level 14 Soul Master, please enlighten me."

With a thought, his golden eyes lit up to the minimum, and a yellow hundred-year soul ring appeared above his head.

"Golden Eyes, what kind of martial soul is that?"

"My God, it really is innate full soul power. It's already level fourteen at such a young age."

……

A lot of discussion immediately arose around them. Lu Mingfei's martial spirit and age were both very much a topic of discussion. Although these noble children were arrogant and domineering on weekdays, they were actually better at reading people than anyone else.

"Golden Eyes?" Zhao Tianming didn't know why, but when the other party's eyes lit up, he felt a sense of dread. Even when he deliberately shifted his gaze, there was no change. He suddenly realized that the other party's eye martial soul was probably much more terrifying than he had imagined.

On the other hand, Lu Mingfei, who was opposite him, seemed calm on the surface, but was actually very uncertain inside.

Oh my god, how do I play this?

Lu Mingfei was actually quite flustered. He had been forced into this situation, and his only real combat experience was from the time he faced Tang San.

Given his monstrous physical abilities, it wasn't that he was afraid of losing, but rather that he didn't know how much force to use to defeat his opponent without getting injured himself. Ideally, he should be evenly matched, outstanding but not glaring, so as to avoid them causing him trouble in the future.

While he was still in a daze, the opponent suddenly launched an attack with a flash of spirit rings, "First spirit skill, thrust."

Damn! Does he even know how to play?

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't even decided whether to use boxing or wild punches as a prelude to establish early momentum when his opponent, disregarding martial ethics, unleashed his ultimate move, intending to kill him instantly.

In a panic, his body reacted instinctively to dodge, and his pale golden eyes instantly turned crimson.

The students watching nearby couldn't help but tremble at the sight of that light.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei's soul power erupted beneath his feet. The next moment, Zhao Tianming's straight attack missed its mark. But before he could determine Lu Mingfei's location and continue his attack, a figure appeared beside him.

Given the height difference between the two, Lu Mingfei did not use his fists, but instead recalled a super cool tokusatsu film he had watched last year.

With a burst of soul power even stronger than when he fought Tang San, he used his left foot as the center and his right foot to draw a perfect spiral side kick upwards.

The precise and immense force struck the purple-haired man directly in the face, instantly shattering his consciousness and sending him flying backward into a daze.

"My God!"

Before everyone's eyes, Zhao Tianming had just used his soul skill to pounce out when he was kicked back by someone. He spun backwards twice and flew two and a half times in the air. When he landed, his face looked like a soy sauce stall, with snot and blood splattered all over the ground.

Chapter 26 Please, don't die

"Holy crap!"

Lu Mingfei screamed inwardly.

The onlookers stared wide-eyed, speechless for a moment. They had come to see a good show, but they never expected it to be this good.

Zhao Tianming, the school bully with a soul power level of 17, was actually killed in one move by a six-year-old freshman!

"Hey, doctor, where's the doctor? Someone come quick!" Lu Mingfei slid to his knees and quickly shook Zhao Tianming's shoulders off the ground.

Seeing the other party's miserable state with his mouth open and eyes closed, Lu Mingfei was truly panicked. How could this level 17 Soul Master be even more fragile than Tang San, a level 13 Soul Master?

"Big brother, cheer up! Please don't die! Hey, aren't there any healing soul masters here?"

"Lingling, help!" the teacher supervising the competition called out.

A faint fragrance appeared, and a white light descended from the sky, like a flower petal, landing on Zhao Tianming and instantly merging into his body.

Zhao Tianming's originally bruised wounds gradually faded, and even the bleeding wounds were visibly healing. The ferocious expression on his face eased, and his breathing immediately became steady. In the blink of an eye, his injuries had healed by more than half.
