Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts possess intelligence comparable to that of humans, but as powerful life forms that have endured countless tribulations, their greatest trump card is their intuition, which is many times more acute than that of humans.

The brain immediately issued the command to escape, but the cerebrum quickly realized that the body had lost control.

Like a hen, it stumbled and fell to the ground, but it couldn't even muster the strength to struggle.

Lu Mingfei's confidence to venture into the Star Dou Great Forest alone stemmed not only from the moment he was there, but also from the dragon's might suppressing the soul beasts.

He had tested it in Sunset Forest, and even against some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, this suppression was still very effective.

However, out of fear of the unknown Star Dou Great Forest, he decided to use Dragon Might as little as possible. If it weren't for the fact that flying soul beasts were so troublesome, he wouldn't have wanted to expose himself.

After only two seconds of eye contact, he withdrew his golden eyes and flapped his wings to leave. But for this soul beast, tonight was clearly a terrifying movie that touched its very soul.

However, he didn't have time to worry about the mental health of a soul beast, and immediately continued his search for dragon-type soul beasts as planned.

Thanks to his efforts, the entire northeast corner of the Star Dou Great Forest was in complete chaos tonight.

-

Three days later.

Beside a pool in a vast, lush forest, a black gorilla, as tall as a mountain, waves its arms, calling to its companions in the pool.

"What happened?" A huge bull's head emerged from the pool, its lantern-like eyes emitting a dark red glow in the night, and its slender snake-like neck protruding from the water, looking extremely terrifying.

"These past few days, the habitats of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the middle and deep layers have been frequently disturbed by humans. It seems that human soul masters are searching for something, and I'm afraid they'll be approaching the Lake of Life in a few days." The Titan Giant Ape rarely showed a hint of fatigue. It was responsible for managing the territories of most of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the surrounding area, ensuring that they did not disrupt the order. In the past few days, it had received more complaints than in the past few hundred years.

Because of this uninvited guest, there have been many more incidents of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts fighting across territories.

"Aren't there plenty of human soul masters coming to find soul rings? What's the big deal? Unless it's a human soul master coming to our door, or it's about Sister Xiaowu, don't bother me next time." The Azure Bull Python was unimpressed. It shrank back and sank back to the bottom of the lake. For them, it was commonplace for humans to become powerful and come to hunt souls while they were taking a nap.

Titan Ape scratched his head, still feeling that something was amiss. According to the answers from the disturbed soul beasts, the human soul master seemed to only have four soul rings, and was probably only there for the fifth ring.

But now hundreds of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have been disturbed. If that human is simply looking for a soul ring, how picky or unlucky must he be?

Standing high in the sky, Lu Mingfei's golden eyes blazed. The night was pitch black, and the cold wind filled his ears. The frigid, dry air made him sneeze.

He searched for four days, moving from the middle layer to the deep layer, but there was no trace of any dragon-type soul beasts.

He quickly realized that he had been working in the wrong direction, and that searching in the middle management circles for a long time would probably only lead to nothing.

The status of a ten-thousand-year-old dragon-type soul beast is probably higher than he imagined, meaning it is closer to the core area.

To find them, he had no choice but to risk entering the core area where soul beasts that might be hundreds of thousands of years old might roam.

So tonight he chose to sneak around at high altitudes to scout, and unexpectedly he actually saw something.

The first item in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Library's Soul Beast Encyclopedia is the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, which has been sighted multiple times by Soul Masters. There is also a Minotaur with a bull's head and a snake's body next to it.

From the perspective of the Golden Eyes, the soul power fluctuations of these two soul beasts were even more terrifying than those of Tang Hao, a Title Douluo.

It's probably a legendary 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"That bull-headed, snake-bodied soul beast seems to have some dragon blood. I can remember it for later." Lu Mingfei took notes, considering it an unexpected bonus tonight.

Seeing the route the Titan Ape took, Lu Mingfei immediately chose the opposite direction and began searching. This was definitely the so-called core area. He refused to believe that he couldn't find any dragon-type soul beasts here.

Half an hour later, a spirit beast resembling a shield-armored dragon emerged from a valley, each step carrying a power that shook the earth.

It was patrolling its territory as usual when it suddenly saw a black figure descend from the sky and land in front of it.

However, before it could react, the world before it was completely enveloped by golden majesty.

Crimson light flickered on Lu Mingfei's scales, and an invisible domain expanded instantly, swirling with gray air currents.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

The Azure Bull Python shuddered in its sleep, as if it were dreaming of something terrifying.

Meanwhile, somewhere within the Lake of Life, a golden eye suddenly opened.

Chapter 132, should it be sent?

It is nearly 15 meters long, with a huge head covered with several ferocious bony ridges, and its whole body is covered with jet-black scales.

Its back is covered with a carapace that protrudes like a reef, and its tail is thick with a terrifying bone spike at the end. Every step it takes causes the ground to tremble.

With its weight and muscle and bone density, Lu Mingfei had no doubt that this "Shield Dragon" could topple a tank head-on.

Without a doubt, this must be an extremely tough opponent in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even a Soul Douluo would probably have difficulty breaking through its defenses. Lu Mingfei wasn't intentionally looking for trouble, but it was indeed the target that best met the requirements of Lu Mingfei's next skill.

This world has always had the saying of cultivating ultimate-flow soul masters, such as the Four Elements Academy, and the four most famous single-attribute sects of the outer sect of the Clear Sky Sect.

The biggest advantage of the Extreme Flow training is that it strengthens one's attributes to the point that one can fight against opponents of higher levels. In this way, when fighting against Soul Masters of the same level, this advantage can easily lead to absolute crushing.

But this plan is obviously not suitable for Lu Mingfei. To put it pretentiously, he is still somewhat self-aware, and in some aspects he has already reached the pinnacle.

With speed and mobility from the Ice and Fire Wings and the Instantaneous Movement, offensive capabilities from the Sovereign Flame, and support from the Eye of the Wind King, he is, according to the typical game setting, a burst-type assassin with maxed-out stats.

After thinking about it for several years, he felt that his only remaining weakness was probably numerical skills.

In some respects, the masters' deductions about his data were quite accurate. Although his current physical strength is actually enough to fight a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex of the same level in hand-to-hand combat, compared to the effect after the enhancement of the Word of Power, it's like a leaky toilet.

While Assassin's Creed is undeniably cool, which loser hasn't dreamed of becoming Kratos, the God of War?

Moreover, he chose this type of skill for another reason: if his physical body is properly strengthened, the burden on his instantaneous use can be further reduced.

In this way, even against a super Douluo like Sword Douluo who possesses both attack speed and offensive capabilities, one will have sufficient ability to protect oneself.

Considering that this place is not far from the lair of the Titan Ape and the Minotaur, Lu Mingfei immediately launched a killing attack.

The golden eyes of the molten lava were ignited, and the mighty dragon's might, as hot as the sun's eruption, focused its gaze, turning everything in its path into charred remains. The armored dragon's consciousness went blank the moment their eyes met.

The memories deep within the dragon blood genes seem to echo with the horns of an ancient war.

Dragon's might, an unparalleled and unstoppable force.

A silent wave swept across the entire space, as if an indescribable shadow filled the entire mountain range with despair and gloom.

Amidst the spreading terror, Lu Mingfei's crimson eyes flowed with a calm yet scorching fire, and a soaring chant escaped from his mouth, sounding particularly passionate and ethereal in this vast expanse of heaven and earth.

At the same time, a field filled with fire and heat instantly appeared around Lu Mingfei, and the syllables of the dragon script became faster and more intense, finally exploding like a volcanic eruption.

Control first, then strike – a seamless execution.

By the time the armored dragon barely regained consciousness from that terrifying dragon's might, before it could even utter a weak, sheep-like cry, cruel reality had already descended upon it.

Word of Power: Lord Flame, Unleash!

It was not like the napalm bombs of the past, nor did it produce towering flames.

The gray current, like a giant gray python, silently rushed straight towards the face of the Shielded Dragon.

The Ankylosaurus sensed the threat of death and immediately mobilized all its powerful soul energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years to resist it. However, the fire python coiled around its limbs and joints in the next moment.

The temperature of over two thousand degrees Celsius seemed to ignite the soul power of the shield-armored dragon, placing it in a sea of ​​lava and fire. Its thick, steel-like scales turned into charcoal the moment they came into contact with the flames.

Because the surrounding oxygen was being consumed so drastically, it couldn't even let out a wail. In less than five seconds, the fire python contracted its body, completely burying the intense heat inside its internal organs.

The blood instantly vaporized from boiling, every drop of blood vapor being completely swallowed by the fire python's body, leaving only the purest water vapor rising into the sky and dissipating.

The towering body of the Shield Dragon collapsed completely, leaving only charred remains. At the same time, a black spirit ring slowly condensed and took shape within the remains.

Faced with a creature whose defenses have no weaknesses, he can only resort to his most powerful attack.

And Junyan's destructive power did not disappoint him.

Before he could even relax, Lu Mingfei scanned his surroundings with his Golden Eyes and, after confirming that there was no danger lurking behind him, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For every Soul Master, the greatest danger in Soul Hunting, besides finding and killing Soul Beasts, is absorbing Soul Rings.

One danger is that the age limit is too high, exceeding the body's capacity. The other most common danger is that when absorbing a spirit ring, the spirit master will lose the ability to resist and become vulnerable to being slaughtered.

Therefore, unless you have a life-or-death friendship with your teammates, hunting souls is the most dangerous thing in the world.

Lu Mingfei had considered this as part of the reason he chose to join the academy for further studies, and as it turned out, he absorbed his second and third spirit rings very smoothly.

However, he devised a way to hunt and absorb the fourth spirit ring all by himself.

To this end, he conducted several experiments and found a feasible method.

First, the high temperature attack of the Lord's Flame completely eliminated the possibility of blood energy dissipating.

Then Lu Mingfei used his freezing power to create layers of incredibly hard ice shields around himself.

In addition, its dragon form provides a powerful and intimidating presence, offering triple protection that ensures its safety.

After confirming that all preparations were complete, Lu Mingfei sat cross-legged and began absorbing the spirit ring.

This time, as his consciousness sank into darkness, the sound of ocean waves echoed in his mind.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes to find the world shrouded in darkness. He seemed to be on a high, circular platform, with oppressive dark clouds looming over his head at any moment.

"Where am I?" Looking up, he felt as if he were at sea, surrounded by the sound of waves.

However, the eerie surroundings gave him a creepy feeling, as if it was about to rain and thunder, and might even strike him directly.

"Lu Mingze, it's thundering and raining! Go home and bring in the laundry! Where are you?!" Standing on such a high place, Lu Mingfei was a little afraid to shout loudly.

"Yes, yes, brother. I just rushed over from the last venue. I'm exhausted."

Lu Mingze's voice suddenly rang out behind him, almost startling Lu Mingfei.

Looking back, he felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, but then he sensed something was amiss.

Lu Mingze's outfit today was a little different from usual. His usually handsome suit suddenly looked heavy, and there was even a white rose stuck in his chest.

"You didn't just come from someone's funeral dressed like that, did you?" Lu Mingfei asked uncertainly.

"Brother, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about appearances?" Lu Mingze elegantly adjusted his cuffs, raised an eyebrow, and smiled meaningfully.

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Mingfei felt a jolt of unease, a vague sense of foreboding creeping over him. This little devil was acting strangely today, but he still tried to remain calm and asked, "It can't possibly be related to me, can it?"

"Bingo!" Lu Mingze produced another white rose from nowhere: "Brother, take this first, after all, you might really have to send it later."

Chapter 133 Emperor Tian

Lu Mingfei revealed an extremely broken smile.

What do you mean I might have to send it later?

What an international joke!

"Lu Mingze, you better explain yourself!" Lu Mingfei jumped up.

This must be another scary joke, right? I've been playing along so well, please, please stop messing with me!

"Stay calm. Unexpected things always happen in life. After all, you never know whether what falls from the sky is a pie or a discus." Lu Mingze shrugged and walked to the center of the platform.

With a wave of his hand, a low wooden table and two bronze wine cups appeared out of thin air. At the same time, he was also carrying a jar of earthenware wine, and there was a faint sweet aroma of wine in the air.

"Brother, there's no use in being anxious. Let's have a drink to calm our nerves first." Lu Mingze sat cross-legged and poured amber-colored liquor into two cups.

"Don't mess with me!" Lu Mingfei was almost in tears, but he had no choice but to sit down obediently. He knew very well that if something serious happened, he could only rely on this little devil in front of him.

Pick up the wine glass, gulp it down, and the spicy, pungent taste instantly rushes to your head, it's incredibly refreshing.

"Alright, hurry up and tell me, stop pretending to be so profound," Lu Mingfei urged again.

"Don't rush, let's take it one step at a time. Let's go through some procedures first." Lu Mingze handed over a contract unhurriedly, his tone as calm as if nothing in the world could bother him: "Word of Power: Bronze Throne, the effect is in the category of physical enhancement. Congratulations, brother, you are now a hexagonal all-rounder."

As Lu Mingze spoke, he clapped his hands, which, in Lu Mingfei's view, was like giving a little red flower to kindergarten children.

Lu Mingfei was speechless, but for some reason, looking at the other party's smug expression, he suddenly felt a little safe.

Lu Mingfei signed quickly, then stared intently at the other person, his eyes brimming with tears and hope.

However, Lu Mingze was clearly not buying it. He put away the contract, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip: "What are you thinking, brother? Everyone knows that we devils are all heartless. Playing the victim and begging for mercy won't work on us at all."

"Brother! You are my only family in this world." Lu Mingfei said sincerely, and poured the other man's glass full of wine.

He had to admit that when it came to whether or not to send a gift, his so-called "face" was utterly worthless; he could tear off a hundred or eighty layers at any time and offer them to the other party as stepping stones.

"Brother, your integrity is completely shattered." Lu Mingze shook his head, but still enjoyed it and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Integrity is only worth a few dollars a pound, definitely not as much as my hundred or eighty pounds of flesh." Seeing that there was a chance, Lu Mingfei was overjoyed and quickly poured himself another glass of wine.

"I really can't do anything with my brother." Lu Mingze curled his lips in disgust, and with a wave of his hand, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to suddenly split open, but what was revealed was not sunlight, but a night sky.

Lu Mingfei was startled because the night sky looked strangely familiar to him.

Sure enough, the projection's perspective immediately began to rotate, and something that looked very familiar to him appeared before his eyes.

"Damn, who is this guy? Why does he look so arrogant?"
