Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

So today's exhibition match can actually be considered Lu Mingfei's graduation ceremony at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They also want to see with their own eyes what level their student has reached.

Regardless of how heartbroken Lu Mingfei was after being betrayed, the atmosphere at the scene was already electric.

Ever since Lu Mingfei obtained the Gold Soul in the Great Soul Arena at the age of eight, no one in Tiandou City has had the chance to see him fight again.

Afterwards, his deeds only existed in word of mouth. The Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena even specially engraved Lu Mingfei's achievement of obtaining the Golden Soul and his age on the monument commemorating the major events of the Soul Arena for future generations to admire.

The contestants on the field practically sparked with excitement in their eyes.

Without having to go through the preliminaries and qualifying rounds, they could directly enter a one-on-one battle with Lu Mingfei. This was something every player dreamed of, and everyone was praying that they would be the lucky one.

This includes Tang San, who doesn't care about the Soul Master Competition at all. His purpose in participating is simply to rightfully challenge Lu Mingfei and defeat him head-on.

However, as soon as Salas began the draw, Tang San's face immediately darkened, while the other teams on the field breathed a sigh of relief.

"In the first round of the preliminary rounds, the vice-captain team of Tiandou Royal Academy will face off against Shrek Academy."

……

"Phew." Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and the others breathed a sigh of relief. If Tang San had really drawn a fight against Lu Mingfei, he would have gone crazy and fought desperately.

If Tang San is defeated or seriously injured, they can forget about the rest of the preliminaries and will be eliminated.

After the first round of the draw, everyone's breath was immediately pulled back up again, as only one of the twenty-six teams would be drawn.

When Salas opened the lot, everyone held their breath.

The emcee solemnly accepted the document and immediately announced in a loud voice:

"Let's congratulate Shenfeng Academy on securing this exhibition match opportunity! A friendly reminder to the Shenfeng Academy players: please prioritize safety, act within your limits, do not overexert yourselves, and do not delay the preliminary rounds and subsequent qualifying matches."

However, his friendly reminder was barely heard by anyone, as it was immediately drowned out by the cheers of the crowd.

All the teams on the field turned their attention to the Kamikaze Academy team, their faces filled with envy and jealousy.

The chosen Kamikaze Academy members clenched their fists in secret delight.

The Shrek students in the corner never expected that Lu Mingfei's influence was so great; a mere chance to spar could excite the other academies so much.

They've faced off two or three times, and it was all a nightmare, okay?

The members of the Kamikaze team, dressed in cyan team uniforms, turned their attention to their captain, Lu Mingfei. Although they also wanted to participate, the only one in the academy qualified to do so was their captain, Feng Xiaotian.

As two Soul Masters of the same generation with innate full Soul Power, the two have been constantly compared since Lu Mingfei first appeared in Heaven Dou City. The comparison only ended when news of Lu Mingfei breaking through to Soul Master at the age of 9 came out. But Feng Xiaotian had been holding back his anger, and today he finally had the opportunity to face him head-on.

He looked at Lu Mingfei on the VIP stage with high fighting spirit, his long-admired opponent, and Lu Mingfei seemed to be giving him face by adopting a posture of full readiness.

Actually it is not.

Lu Mingfei didn't have time to pay attention to him; he was currently preoccupied with the villainous image of Xue Qinghe in his mind.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, standing to the side, felt that Lu Mingfei was practically emanating black energy, and silently mourned for the Shenfeng Academy team member who was about to take the stage.

"Alright, the first match of the first round of the preliminary rounds will now begin, with the vice-team of Tiandou Royal Academy facing off against the Shrek Academy team. All participating academies, please leave the stage. The three academies that will be playing later, please get ready. The exhibition match will begin promptly ten minutes after the team match ends."

"Brother Lu, it's time to go to the waiting room." Xue Qinghe jumped up and down, reminding him that he should follow the maid to the waiting room.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness." Lu Mingfei didn't give him a friendly look, buttoned up his shirt, and followed the palace maid.

However, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle at her somewhat gritted teeth and exasperated expression.

This is probably the essence of a bad friend. When you're joking around and digging up embarrassing stories, you feel like you want to strangle them, but when something really happens, you can still rely on them. In short, you can't help but laugh or cry, and you can't really hate them.

Xue Qinghe found Lu Mingfei particularly interesting. Since he had already let himself go and didn't care what would happen next, having fun was the most important thing.

Who knows if there will be another chance like this later on?

Chapter 153 Feng Xiaotian

When the vice-captains of the Royal Academy of Tian Dou and the Shrek Academy team took the stage, a burst of rapid applause immediately rang out from the audience.

Of course, the applause wasn't for welcoming them, but rather to fan the flames and urge the two teams to hurry up and not waste their time watching Lu Mingfei's entrance.

Who made Shrek Academy's team uniforms look like disgusting toads, completely repulsive to people?

However, after the two sides' martial spirits were attached to each other, the disgusted expressions of the audience suddenly turned into disbelief.

An unremarkable Shrek Academy actually has two Soul Masters at the same time. In the past, this would have been a team capable of challenging for the championship.

"It seems the outcome is already decided."

On the VIP platform, Emperor Xueye sighed. As expected of the academy once recommended by Haotian Douluo, they have two Soul Masters at such a young age. Even their main team's Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan are no match for them.

“That’s true.” Ning Fengzhi nodded. He was also quite surprised by Tang San’s changes. As expected of a human-beast hybrid, he was able to awaken a second time.

"I never expected that this small Shrek Academy would have such a genius. Three members of the Education Committee, aren't these the people you forced out?" Xue Xing deliberately retorted to the three members of the Education Committee.

From Dugu Bo, he learned that the Shrek Academy, which was forced to leave by Lu Mingfei last time, was backed by Haotian Douluo, and that Tang Yin was none other than Tang San, who caused the Notting City War many years ago.

Having already offended Lu Mingfei and the Title Douluo behind him, Xue Xing is eager to get in touch with Tang Hao, so she is now speaking out for Shrek Academy.

The three education committee members merely frowned, puzzled as to why Xue Xing's expression had suddenly changed. However, they said nothing, simply replying that they had already explained that, regardless of the circumstances, the fact remained that Shrek Academy members had left, and they could not deny it.

"It's alright. Although it's the team I favor, everyone has their own ambitions and we can't force them." Emperor Xueye had already heard Xue Qinghe's report on the situation. Essentially, this was a game between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Haotian School.

Haotian Douluo's attempt to win over Lu Mingfei failed, which he was actually pleased about.

Seeing that the Crown Prince and Lu Mingfei's relationship is getting better and better, what does it matter if Haotian Sect interferes?

Bishop Salas, standing to the side, pretended to be asleep and remained silent. However, he had clearly taken a liking to Shrek Academy. An academy with close ties to both the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must be hiding many secrets.

On the field, the members of the Tiandou Second Team all looked grim, even though they had heard Lu Mingfei say in the waiting room before going on the field that Shrek Academy had two Soul Masters.

But now that things have come to this, they represent the face of the nobles of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and it is impossible for them to retreat without a fight.

"The first round of the qualifiers begins!"

"Go!" With no way out, they had no choice but to fight with all their might, at least to demonstrate the bravery of nobles.

The combination of tiger, leopard, lion, wolf, and bear was indeed astonishing, but ultimately it was all in vain in the face of such a huge gap.

"Holy crap, are you on drugs?"

Standing at the entrance of the waiting room, not far from the arena, Lu Mingfei immediately sensed the soul power fluctuations that Tang San emitted in an instant. They were actually much stronger than Dai Mubai's, at least level 44.

Half a year ago, he wasn't even a Soul Master yet, so this speed is even more impressive than when he had a cultivation cheat code.

Meanwhile, on the field, the entire Tian Dou Second Team was completely controlled by Tang San's vine cage, unable to move, just like flies caught in a spider web.

The next moment, the entire Shrek team charged forward, facing the lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the cage, and the outcome of the battle was a foregone conclusion.

Such amazing team control and a clean, decisive victory immediately drew enthusiastic applause from the audience. No one dared to mock Shrek's team uniforms as resembling toads at that moment.

Tang San stood on the arena and glanced coldly in Lu Mingfei's direction. Various opportunities had finally allowed him to stand in front of Lu Mingfei and challenge him with his head held high.

A few months ago, when he accompanied Tang Hao to visit his great-uncle, Bai He of the Min clan, Bai He entrusted him with a treasure as a gift for establishing the Tang Clan.

Crystal Blood Ginseng!

He never expected that although he missed the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he would actually obtain a divine herb that could be called a celestial herb here.

After swallowing it, the powerful medicinal effect immediately boosted his soul power by a full three levels and further enhanced his blue silver bloodline. In the past six months, his soul power has now reached level 45.

With the addition of the various rare and potent poisons absorbed from Dugu Bo's collection room by his Eight Spider Spears, he believed that the day he would defeat Lu Mingfei was just around the corner.

On the other hand, Lu Mingfei was already immune to Tang San's behavior of forgetting his roots as soon as he started using cheat codes. Anyway, there were plenty of people in this competition who wanted to defeat him, so who did Tang San even count for?

Let's get through the qualifiers first.

--

Although the Shrek team's strength did surprise the audience, this match clearly couldn't satisfy their lingering curiosity.

After the Shrek team left the stage, the cheers and anticipation from the audience never stopped for a moment.

Other students who had already left the competition were now crowding into the lounge and the passageways near the arena, eager to see for themselves just how legendary Lu Mingfei really was.

The entire Shrek Academy team stood directly at the exit of the venue. Whether it was Lu Mingfei or the Shenfeng Academy, they couldn't miss such an opportunity to watch the game.

"Next, let's welcome our two players for the exhibition match to the stage."

"They are Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy and Lu Mingfei from Tiandou Royal Academy!"

Two blinding lights shone simultaneously on the exit path, revealing Feng Xiaotian and Lu Mingfei, causing the entire arena to erupt in cheers once again.

The phrase "the center of attention" is perhaps most aptly described in this place.

Lu Mingfei casually walked onto the ring, took off his jacket and tossed it to the edge of the ring, while unbuttoning the collar and cuffs and loosening his wrists.

It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to look like a thug in a suit; it's just that no one had reminded him that he hadn't brought his combat uniform with him.

On the other side, Feng Xiaotian had also stepped onto the arena. His gaze was fixed on Lu Mingfei the whole time. He had been looking forward to this battle for a long time, but when he actually faced Lu Mingfei, he felt extremely calm.

After the master of ceremonies announced the activation of his Martial Soul, Feng Xiaotian let out a sharp long howl. Azure soul power surged from his body, azure light rippled, his bones crackled, and his body instantly swelled and grew taller. At the same time, an azure wolf head appeared on his left shoulder, and his body was surrounded by two yellow and two purple soul rings that floated up and down.

"Feng Xiaotian, Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, Level 44 Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me."

Feng Xiaotian's tone and demeanor were very solemn, making Lu Mingfei feel that he should respond to this respect with some seriousness.

His golden eyes suddenly ignited, and at the same time, the five soul rings symbolizing his Soul King cultivation level lit up behind his head.

"Lu Mingfei, Martial Soul Golden Eye, Level 53 Battle Soul King, please give me your guidance."

Chapter 154 Wind King's Iron Hammer

"hiss……"

Gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the venue, especially among the participating teams.

Although the news that Lu Mingfei had broken through to the Soul King level last year had already spread throughout Tiandou City, they still couldn't help but be shocked when they actually saw it with their own eyes.

Especially for those who were closer to the arena, they could even feel the mental suppression effect produced when the golden eyes lit up from hundreds of meters away.

Some people even possessed their martial spirits, wanting to see more clearly, but the moment they met the golden eyes, their heads felt as if they had been hit with a hammer, and a buzzing pain immediately began to throb.

"Is this the legendary Golden Eye that surpasses the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul? It's so cool!"

"Make it clear, is it the martial spirit that's cool or the person?"

"They're both handsome, especially when he took off his clothes just now!"

The members of the Tianshui Academy team in the lounge exclaimed in surprise.

Captain Shui Bing'er was also extremely shocked. Her martial soul was the Ice Phoenix, which was of higher quality than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, yet she could still feel the tremor emanating from it.

The rumors were indeed true; Lu Mingfei's golden eyes are the nemesis of all beast martial souls.

Facing Lu Mingfei directly, Feng Xiaotian truly felt the power of the legendary Golden Eye Martial Soul.

Despite the team leader's repeated instructions that Lu Mingfei should not look directly into his eyes when he activates his martial soul, and to try to avoid the initial intimidation of the Golden Eyes, his pride still wouldn't allow him to bow his head.

But in just a moment, his gaze involuntarily tilted upwards, his body subconsciously avoiding the gaze of the golden-eyed king, as if he were an absolute king who could not be looked at directly.

Lu Mingfei realized that he had made a bit too much noise. He usually tried to keep a low profile during team training, but he couldn't help but be a little unruly when he encountered a rather interesting look.

“Lu Mingfei, you are indeed terrifyingly powerful.” Feng Xiaotian gathered his soul power and barely looked directly at Lu Mingfei: “But because of this, this battle is exactly what I have been looking forward to.”

"Then let's do it." Lu Mingfei nodded calmly. Feng Xiaotian's eyes reminded him of the kids who used to watch him play StarCraft in internet cafes. He felt that if he didn't take it seriously, he would really be letting Feng Xiaotian down.

"The exhibition match is officially starting!" The emcee on the VIP stage announced the official start of the exhibition match.

Feng Xiaotian struck first, instantly accelerating and launching an attack on Lu Mingfei, leaving a long trail of light and shadow behind him.

He was well aware of the gap between the two and needed to unleash all his strength in the shortest amount of time. Close combat was Lu Mingfei's only weakness in his martial soul, so he had to seize the initiative.

Lu Mingfei was not surprised by the opponent's sudden attack. Although the speed was comparable to that of an agility-type Soul Master, it made no difference to him.

With the power of freezing in his right hand, the ice sword instantly solidified, and golden soul power surged into his palm at the same time, thus a brilliant and magnificent king's sword was born, the Excalibur.

When Feng Xiaotian arrived in front of Lu Mingfei, his first soul skill suddenly lit up, and ten semi-circular wind blades, accompanied by a piercing sound, completely covered Lu Mingfei's front.

Faced with the sudden attack, Lu Mingfei made no move to dodge. He slashed horizontally with his sword, and the domineering soul power slash instantly detonated all the wind blades in front of him.

But Feng Xiaotian's figure was not behind the wind blade. At this moment, he had already risen into the sky, and his second and third soul skills were activated at the same time. Huge blue wings spread out behind him, and with a long roar, his body fell from the sky like a meteor.

This is his proudest self-created soul skill, the Gale Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, which took him countless efforts to master.

His rapid aerial descent was as smooth and stable as flowing water, demonstrating his absolute mastery of the art of navigating the air.

However, before he could arrive, Lu Mingfei unleashed the mighty dragon power of his golden pupils, wielding the sharp edges of his wings.

An invisible domain unfolded around Lu Mingfei, and ancient syllables were sung from his mouth.

A gust of wind rose from the ground, stirring up dust from the cracks, and then began to swirl, converging suddenly along a trajectory. The previously invisible wind instantly distorted the light, giving it a tangible form.
