Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

"Hey, hey, hey, men and women shouldn't touch each other. I haven't showered for days, can't you smell me?" Lu Mingfei struggled quickly. Ning Rongrong is no longer a little kid, she's a young girl now. If others see this, what will happen to his reputation as a clean and single man?

"Tch, I smelled it a long time ago, it stinks." Ning Rongrong curled her lips in disgust, but she wouldn't let go of his hand. She was afraid that if she let go, Lu Mingfei would disappear again.

"Miss Ning, please have mercy, let go first, otherwise we won't be able to eat." Lu Mingfei pleaded helplessly. His name had just been called out by the other party, and now everyone in the restaurant was staring at him with intense interest.

"I promise I won't run away. Besides, even if I wanted to, I couldn't."

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you." Ning Rongrong finally let go, but still sat down next to him and started eating the grilled meat in front of her without any politeness.

Lu Mingfei sighed inwardly. Actually, there was no need for him to rush. He had originally come here to wait for Yu Tianheng and the others to return to Tiandou to prepare for the competition after receiving the news. He was just showing up a month or two earlier than expected.

After finishing his meal, Lu Mingfei found a hotel to stay in, took a shower, changed his clothes, and tidied his hair.

Then Ning Rongrong pulled him out to stroll along the commercial street of Soto City.

"What? Xiao Wu and Tang San are here too?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be surprised. Doesn't that mean Tang Hao is here too?

And what the heck is Shrek Academy? Are you sure it's not Shrek Dream Factory?

He knew from the name that this academy would definitely play an important role in the future, at least on par with schools like Suzuran, Shohoku, and Kanagawa.

“Yes, they’re all your old classmates.” Ning Rongrong said cheerfully, this trip has been very fruitful. “You can come back with me to meet them later.”

I don't want to see them! Lu Mingfei really wanted to refuse. Tang San was not someone to be trifled with. Although Tang Hao probably wouldn't attack him, nothing was absolute, and in the end, he would definitely side with his own son.

However, Lu Mingfei dared not say it aloud. Tang Hao might be nearby right now, and he hadn't done anything wrong. If he didn't dare to meet him, it would only arouse the other party's hostility and suspicion.

"Okay, I'd like to see what Shrek Academy is like too."

"By the way, Tang San's name is now Tang Yin, and his martial soul has been disguised as the Ghost Vine. Be careful," Ning Rongrong reminded him.

Lu Mingfei nodded. Although Tang San's name was not wanted, he still could not appear openly on the mainland.

As for Xiao Wu, her arrest warrant was only issued for six months before it was withdrawn because she hadn't committed any crime; she was just taken away on a whim, and the Spirit Hall wasn't that unreasonable.

He had imagined what their class reunion would be like, and now it had actually come true. Tang San was the Holy Son of the Clear Sky Sect, and Xiao Wu was the Holy Maiden of a hidden sect.

These two were paired up from Nottingham City to Shrek Academy, clearly indicating a childhood sweetheart storyline, or at least a second male and female lead relationship.

As for why it can't be the male lead? It's just that Tang San looks a bit unattractive no matter how you look at it.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei still thinks the master is more in line with the protagonist template.

Useless womanizer.

He used to live off his old lover, now he's living off his disciple, and in the future there's a war between his lover and disciple—it's really exciting to think about.

Speaking of the person who wrote this game's script, could they be a Mary Sue fan? The ending is definitely going to be tragic.

As night fell, Flander, the four-eyed owl and dean of Shrek Academy, stood on the large playground, looking at the six students in front of him.

"Well, that's really the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. She's slacking off during the run, and now she's not even showing up for the assembly. It's outrageous. Xiao Wu, when she comes back later, just tell her to pack her things and leave." Flander was a little embarrassed. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had this attitude, they could go to the Heavenly Battle themselves.

Tang San frowned slightly. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sent this kind of person, then they might really have to reconsider this alliance.

"Dean, could something have happened to Rongrong? Should we go look for her?" Oscar asked softly, sounding somewhat worried.

Flander shook his head. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must have guards. What could possibly happen to Ning Rongrong?

Just as they were talking, Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly came from afar.

"Dean, I'm sorry I'm late."

It wasn't until Ning Rongrong got a little closer that they realized she was holding onto the arm of a dark-haired boy, appearing unusually intimate.

Ma Hongjun nudged Oscar's arm with his elbow and laughed, "So our young lady isn't alone after all."

Oscar's heart broke as he watched the other person being so affectionate; he had been deluding himself.

Tang San froze the moment Ning Rongrong appeared. Even without using his Purple Demon Eye, he could still see her face clearly. Xiao Wu couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Dean, I ran into an acquaintance in the city, which is why I was delayed." Ning Rongrong politely apologized to Flander with a noble gesture: "Let me introduce you, this is a friend of mine from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

Lu Mingfei, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, greeted the crowd in front of him: "Good evening, everyone. My name is Lu Mingfei. It's a pleasure to meet you all, as well as Xiao Wu and Tang Yin. It's been a long time."

Everyone on the playground stood frozen in place, even Flander couldn't help but push up his glasses.

The young man in front of me, dressed in aristocratic attire and exuding an air of grandeur, was none other than Lu Mingfei, the legendary number one genius of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Chapter 87: One sentence silences Tang San

Who is Lu Mingfei?

According to various newspapers in the Heaven Dou Empire, his origins are untraceable, but since joining the Heaven Dou Empire's highest academy, he has risen to fame and achieved brilliant military exploits.

He possessed an eye-shaped martial soul with innate full soul power. At the age of seven, he broke through to the Great Soul Master realm and fought to a draw with the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, who was at the level of a Quasi-Soul Venerable. He became famous in one battle and was hailed as the number one genius of the Heaven Dou Empire.

He fought in the Heavenly Battle Arena from the age of eight, achieving a 58-game winning streak in single combat without ever being defeated. He is the fastest person in the history of the Heavenly Battle Arena to obtain the Gold Soul Medal, and is said to be invincible among his peers.

At the age of nine, he officially broke through to the Soul Venerable Realm. According to historical records, only one person in a thousand years has achieved this. After leaving school, he traveled and disappeared without a trace. However, rumors spread among the people, and he gradually gained the reputation of being the number one genius on the continent.

According to rumors, this title has gradually been accepted by the citizens of both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo factions, and the Spirit Hall has not raised any objections.

And now, such a legendary figure has appeared right in front of the teachers and students of Shrek Academy. How could they not be surprised!

Adoration, frustration, joy, awe, bitterness... a variety of emotions flowed in the eyes of the crowd.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Isn't the composition of this academy a bit too complicated?"

After listening to Ning Rongrong's introduction, he had a basic understanding of Shrek Academy. In addition to Tang San and Xiao Wu, there was also the Fire Phoenix, the Sausage Flower Boy, the Ice Beauty of the Zhu Family, and the Star Luo runaway little prince. If you add the Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there would be seven people in total, which would definitely be the Seven Swords Descending from Heaven!

"Welcome, Lu Mingfei." Although Flander was somewhat shocked, he didn't lose his composure.

Over the years, there have been many imposters on the mainland impersonating Lu Mingfei, but the one who can be certified by the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is undoubtedly the real person.

"Thank you, Dean Flander," Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

"Mingfei, it really is you! You've changed so much I almost didn't recognize you." Xiaowu stepped forward in surprise and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.

Six years had passed, and Lu Mingfei had grown quite a bit taller and dressed presentably, even becoming somewhat handsome. However, his lazy demeanor remained unchanged.

"Lu Mingfei, it's been a long time." Tang San looked at him with a complicated expression.

Over the years, he had heard countless rumors about Lu Mingfei. The other party had always been one of his imagined enemies. But three years ago, the other party was already a Soul Master. Now, he was probably close to becoming a Soul Sect Master.

Despite both possessing innate full soul power, the difference between them is enormous.

Lu Mingfei hadn't expected the reunion after so many years to be like this. Xiao Wu looked unchanged, but Tang San's eyes seemed even more gloomy.

"Well, alright, we can catch up later. Lu Mingfei, this is Shrek Academy's teaching session now, so please step aside. Of course, if you'd like, you're welcome to stay and give them a few pointers later." Flander coughed twice, feigning an air of importance.

As a Soul Saint and the Dean of Shrek Academy, he wouldn't lose his composure just because of the appearance of a junior.

As for what these little monsters are thinking, we'll have to wait until get out of class is over to find out, otherwise wouldn't that be a loss of face for their academy?

"Sorry." Lu Mingfei nodded and stepped aside, while Ning Rongrong smiled and returned to the group.

The current situation has made it difficult for Flander to carry out his original plan. If he scolds Ning Rongrong now, she might just run away with Lu Mingfei. Since she still has the intention to come back, he can only deal with it another time.

"Alright, our Shrek Academy's first lesson tonight will be held at the Great Soul Arena. Everyone will complete their own course independently and receive a Silver Soul Medal before graduation."

Flander addressed the crowd with a serious tone, then turned to Lu Mingfei with a warm smile and said, "Lu Mingfei, you are a regular at the Great Soul Arena. I look forward to your guidance tonight."

"I wouldn't dare to offer guidance. It's been many years since I've fought in a fight." Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head. He suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu when he saw Qin Ming before. He didn't teach any routines or moves, and just dragged people into the arena to fight. What's the point of having teachers like you?

Seeing this, Flander didn't say anything more, but simply told everyone to follow him to the Great Soul Arena in the city. Lu Mingfei also moved and followed.

However, he was far behind the rest of the group. Why was he joining in on other students' classes?

However, with fame comes controversy. As a legend, even in his final moments, he still evokes frequent reflections from some people.

"Xiao Wu, Tang San, you've both broken through to Quasi-Soul Master. You don't need to participate tonight; just watch. Someone will take you soul hunting tomorrow."

Flander gave one last instruction, then told Dai Mubai to take the rest of the group to the Great Soul Arena to register for battle. Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the two support players, also had to find someone to form two-on-two teams, and could only secretly complain.

Once everyone else had gone to participate in the competition, only the three of them remained in the audience and chatted.

Because Zhu Zhuqing was a newcomer, Xiao Wu chose her competition first.

"Lu Mingfei, you left without saying a word, making us worry for ages," Xiao Wu complained as soon as she sat down.

"I had no choice. I couldn't just wait at the academy for months, could I?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head. "But you guys, nothing else happened after that, right?"

"Thank you for your concern." Tang San shook his head, clearly not wanting to discuss this further with Lu Mingfei, and instead asked the question he had wanted to ask all the way here: "You were already a Soul Master three years ago, I wonder if you've reached that level now..."

Tang San asked the question with great restraint. In the world of Soul Masters, asking such a question was actually against the rules, but his eyes held an undisguised scrutiny.

"Nothing, level 45." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head and said calmly. He knew his words would sound very rude, but he swore he really didn't want to show off in front of Tang San.

But one's cultivation level is something that can't be hidden, especially with Haotian Douluo watching over him.

"Level 45!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaim softly. Even as a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, she couldn't imagine such a cultivation speed.

Impossible! How could this be!

Tang San clenched his fists, his heart churning with overwhelming shock, and he could no longer maintain his calm expression!

Level 45! That's a full 15 levels higher than him.

He's only level 30 now, while Lu Mingfei, who's the same age, is already half a level higher.

Moreover, this is the fifteenth level of Soul Venerable and Soul Sect, which is far beyond the Soul Master and Great Soul Master stages.

Tang San felt his heart was in turmoil, as if a boiling teapot inside had been overturned. His master and his father had both said that the further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to improve. So why didn't Lu Mingfei, who also had full innate soul power, have this problem at all?

He couldn't help but think of Blue Silver Grass. Even though he had the Tang Sect's supreme Xuan Tian Gong to assist him, Blue Silver Grass was a useless martial soul.

If he were cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, he would have innate full soul power, and he certainly wouldn't be that much worse than Lu Mingfei!

Chapter 88: Do I really need to be so energetic?

Dude, is it really that serious?

As soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he noticed Tang San's face darken instantly. If this were a game, he would have been given a special effect of his whole body emitting black smoke.

What happened to the promised Holy Son of the Haotian Sect, one of the future protagonists? Is his self-cultivation really that bad?

However, he was no longer the little kid he used to be, and he immediately came to his senses and pretended to give a wry smile: "It seems you have left us far behind."

"How dare you! You're emitting black fumes thicker than a steel mill chimney. Do you even believe that yourself?" Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

"Don't mention it." Lu Mingfei shook his head: "Your father is that person, and with the addition of the master, your future is definitely more limitless than mine."

Hearing the compliments from his father and teacher, Tang San managed to catch his breath, nodded slightly, and then looked towards the arena. He stopped talking, but his clenched fists remained firmly in place.

Xiao Wu also sensed that Tang San, such a proud person, must have suffered a blow, so she stopped chatting and just held Tang San's hand tightly to comfort him.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had just suspected that Tang San was about to suffer a qi deviation.

Seeing that Tang San had calmed down, he turned his gaze to the arena, but he never relaxed his vigilance towards Tang San.

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing took the stage. Although she was only 12 years old, she was practically a carbon copy of 14-year-old Zhu Zhuyun. Even Lu Mingfei had to admit that this younger sister had an even more youthful face and larger breasts than her older sister. The Zhu family's reputation for producing great beauties was truly well-deserved.

Speaking of which, that kid named Dai Mubai is really lucky. He escaped for his life, encountered Haotian Douluo, and now his fiancée is chasing after him from afar. He's definitely on track to overtake Dai Weisi.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the location of the three people. Xiao Wu cheered her on, and Lu Mingfei also raised his right hand to greet them politely.

Although they were far apart, Lu Mingfei's eyesight was exceptionally good. The young girl looked cold, but she was ultimately thin-skinned and actually blushed.

"Such speed." It wasn't until she was on the field, facing opponents of the same level, that Xiao Wu truly witnessed just how fast Zhu Zhuqing was.

Even Tang San had to admit that if he weren't a control-type user, he would probably have to use Tang Sect's ultimate techniques to deal with such speed.

Lu Mingfei didn't feel anything. Agility-based characters never had the advantage in the arena. Sure enough, although it seemed like a crushing defeat on the surface, it still took quite a while to end.

When they returned to the registration hall, everyone had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that they had all done very well.

There was another round of two-on-two with support, but they weren't interested in watching anymore. They took Dai Mubai, the only one who was free, and the four of them waited for the game to end at a tea stall.

When Flander saw the four of them arrive, he started chatting casually.

"I wonder if you, Lu, have any suggestions for dealing with these little monsters in our academy?"

Even though there were three people in the academy with innate full soul power, he had to admit that the other party was the real monster, and perhaps there really was some cultivation secret.

“We just watched Zhu’s match, but we don’t know anything about the others, so we have no right to comment,” Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Does he look like some kind of fool who gets smug after hearing a few compliments? Tang Hao was involved in teaching him; does he think he, a mere Soul Master, has the right to comment on him?

Flander tried a few more questions, but seeing that Lu Mingfei wasn't taking the bait, he had no choice but to give up.

On the other side, Tang San also regained his normal mindset. Perhaps thinking of what Tang Hao had told him, he moved closer and started catching up.
