Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Chapter 176 Fourth Round

After the battle ended, Xingluo's team leader and medical personnel quickly went up to the stage to check on the situation.

Because Lu Mingfei interrupted their charging attack in advance, although their injuries were still serious, their lives were no longer in danger.

After the Xingluo team leader nodded his gratitude to Lu Mingfei, he led his team off the field, and the entire audience erupted in cheers and applause.

Everyone clearly saw how Lu Mingfei landed; he had no wounds on his body and wasn't even out of breath.

To be able to fight such a terrifying Netherworld White Tiger unscathed demonstrates a strength so great that most people can no longer even think of comparing themselves to it; all they can do is look up to it and worship it.

Hu Liena and the other two members of the Spirit Hall team felt numb. Whether it was the dragon's might that made people's hearts tremble at all times or the terrifying combat power, they all doubted whether their golden generation was no different from chickens and dogs in front of the other party.

If the opponent can swing the Netherworld White Tiger, they can swing it back at them. The only difference is that they can swing it a couple more times. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill isn't as resilient as the Netherworld White Tiger.

Moreover, this was clearly not the opponent's full strength. If Lu Mingfei went all out, what would happen?

On Shrek's side, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing clapped happily. The powerful Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were so easily defeated. Zhu Zhuqing never dreamed that such a thing would happen.

Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, his fear of Lu Mingfei soared to the extreme. Even Davis was like this, so what could he do?

As for Tang San, he could only hold Xiao Wu's hand tightly. Lu Mingfei's strength repeatedly refreshed his understanding. If it weren't for his confidence in the Tang Sect's methods, he would probably have given up in despair.

The only gain today was that they finally figured out all of Lu Mingfei's soul skills, so they no longer had to guess.

"Mingfei, well done." Yu Tianheng and the others stepped forward to give each other a high five and cheer each other on. Yu Feng was so moved that he almost shed tears.

The whole team paved the way for his success today; he can never repay that debt of gratitude in his lifetime.

This was the arrangement the whole team had discussed. Yu Feng and Oslo were drawn to play in the match against Xingluo Royal Academy and the final, respectively. After all, they couldn't really let Oslo be on the bench crying his eyes out, could they?

"Alright, that's enough, time to call it a day and eat. You're paying for today's meal." Lu Mingfei patted Yu Feng's head irritably. It would be embarrassing for him if Yu Feng cried here, okay?

"Alright!" Yu Feng immediately nodded with a smile. This battle was perfect enough to conclude the fight.

Once they all left the field and didn't stay to watch the game anymore, the remaining teams were completely uninteresting, so they might as well go back and rest.

Of course, they are not the only teams that share the same thoughts. Having just watched such a thrilling match between the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Star Luo Royal Academy, it's hard to feel a bit uninterested in watching other teams.

Even the teams that will be playing next are somewhat negative.

Neither the Spirit Hall Academy team nor the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team are teams they have a chance to defeat; they can only try to squeeze in a victory if they don't get the chance to advance to the top three.

"Mingfei, what are you looking at?"

Yu Tianheng and his companions left in high spirits, playfully frolicking. Suddenly, they noticed that Lu Mingfei, standing beside them, had stopped and turned to look in the direction of the Papal Palace.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that we should be playing there after the final round the day after tomorrow, right?" Lu Mingfei said casually.

“That’s right, even the Pope will be there, and he will present awards to the winning team afterwards.” Yu Tianheng nodded, feeling a sense of longing for the event.

He came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and didn't have a good impression of the Spirit Hall. However, just thinking about how they would defeat the Spirit Hall Academy team in front of the Pope and reluctantly give them an award made his perpetually stiff face break into a smile.

"Then keep going and win that million gold soul coins." Lu Mingfei patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Actually, he felt that there were a few eyes in that direction, though he had seen them a few days ago, but the feeling seemed particularly strong today. Could it be that he had made too much noise just now?

……

The Elders' Hall is located at the deepest part of the Papal Palace.

"What a perceptive little fellow. To wield elemental power with the Eye of Spirit, you are truly blessed. Xiaoxue, you've met your match this time." The handsome man, dressed in a simple gray robe with long black hair cascading down his back, smiled calmly.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"

Qian Renxue didn't expect her grandfather to have such a high opinion of Lu Mingfei. Although Lu Mingfei's strength in the competition was indeed impressive, it was still incomparable to hers.

After all, Lu Mingfei was only a Soul King, but she was already a Soul Emperor. It was almost impossible for them to fight each other when they were both God-level Martial Souls.

"He went very far. In the finals in a few days, you mustn't accidentally lose to him and end up crying." Qian Daoliu stroked Qian Renxue's head, his tone full of affection.

Because of the Star Dou Great Forest incident, he made Qian Renxue give up her more than ten years of infiltration and return early. He originally thought that Qian Renxue would be very unwilling, but unexpectedly, he took advantage of this Soul Master Competition to divert her attention.

"Grandpa, are you underestimating me?" Qian Renxue pouted in dissatisfaction and stormed off. She was planning to take this opportunity to give Lu Mingfei a good beating and teach him a lesson, but who knew that her grandfather would say such discouraging things.

"Hahaha."

Laughter rang out repeatedly in the Elder Hall. They had never taken the so-called Youth Soul Master Competition seriously, but this time it was indeed going to be interesting.

--

The third round of the competition ended quickly, and the fourth round soon followed.

There are six teams that have advanced to the fourth round. No teams will receive a bye, and they will compete in pairs to determine the final three.

It's obvious to everyone that the Spirit Hall will definitely put the match against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team as the grand finale.

So during the draw, the remaining four teams were all praying, because they each had their own goals.

So when the lottery results came out, it was truly a mixed bag of joy and sorrow.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy team will face off against the Divine Wind Academy team, while Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall Academy will each face off against an ordinary academy from the Star Luo Empire.

When the results came out, Lu Mingfei actually found it strange. He had originally thought that they would be facing Shrek Academy today.

After all, Tang San of Shrek Academy has clearly outshone and posed a greater threat than Feng Xiaotian in these competitions.

Allowing Shrek Academy to enter the top three would undoubtedly be more harmful than beneficial to the Spirit Hall. Or is it that they are confident of defeating him in the one-on-one challenge?

Although he felt there might be something wrong, he didn't think about it anymore. In any case, no matter who his opponent was, he had to win the championship to live up to his expectations.

And so, the old acquaintance Feng Xiaotian reappeared, and his earlier promise of farewell has now become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

After cursing himself for being a jinx, Lu Mingfei led the team onto the stage.

Chapter 177 Divine Wind Academy

In the fourth round of the finals, the Shenfeng Academy team faced off against the Tiandou Royal Academy team.

The entire Shenfeng Academy team stood proudly on the stage. Although they knew they had no chance of winning, who would easily admit defeat after getting this far?

Moreover, the opportunity to spar with the number one genius on the mainland is extremely rare, so this trip was worthwhile.

"Just like we said before, we've finally met again." Feng Xiaotian stood at the head of the team and greeted Lu Mingfei with a smile, fulfilling their promise from that day. They had gone through the qualifiers and the knockout stage, and finally met Lu Mingfei again in the finals.

"Uh, well done." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

He swore he was just saying it casually, never expecting that so many teams would actually have the chance to meet each other again.

Since things have come to this, what else can we do? Let's fight another match.

Feng Xiaotian nodded with high fighting spirit, as if some indescribable flame had ignited within him.

Last time he lost in a daze, and didn't even have time to use his self-created soul skill before he was defeated. This time he must show his opponent his full strength.

Especially since Huo Wu was watching from the side.

Although Huo Wu only rolled her eyes at him yesterday in response to his confession, wasn't that a form of encouragement for Feng Xiaotian?

At this moment, under his leadership, the entire Divine Wind Academy was inexplicably ignited. They were the last team to stand among the five elemental academies, carrying the expectations of everyone from the other elemental academies below the stage.

But as exciting as it is here, Lu Mingfei can't look at it the same way.

What's going on? Is being a hot-blooded idiot contagious? Or have you guys got something wrong? We're all on the same side of the Heavenly Battle, aren't you ignoring the wrong target?

"Mingfei, you didn't steal someone's wife, did you?" Oslo stood behind and blurted out his bluntness.

The opposing side's momentum was truly intimidating; they seemed to share a common hatred for the enemy.

Because everyone in the Kamikaze Academy has the ability to fly, Oslo is the one who will be on the field today. Otherwise, if Yufeng were alone in the sky, he would be surrounded and attacked in minutes.

"Do you think that's possible?" Lu Mingfei glared at him irritably. If it weren't for the fact that it was his first time on stage, he would definitely have given him a dressing down.

What nonsense are you spouting? How does Lu look like a traitor like Cao Cao who covets other men's wives?

Oslo really wanted to say, "How can it be impossible? You have a history of this, okay?" Thinking this to himself, he glanced in Shrek's direction, but under Lu Mingfei's intimidating presence, he obediently shut his mouth.

In short, the pre-match warm-up is now over, and we can officially start the game.

"In the fourth round of the finals, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team will face off against the Divine Wind Academy team. Both sides release their Martial Souls. Ready."

At the referee's command, one after another, the spirit rings of both sides lit up.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy still has one Soul King, five Soul Masters, and one Soul Venerable, while the Divine Wind Academy has four Soul Masters and three Soul Venerables. The number of Soul Masters is the largest among all teams except for the three seeded teams.

Having learned from their previous experience, the entire Shenfeng Academy team immediately avoided Lu Mingfei's line of sight and used all their soul power to resist Lu Mingfei's mental pressure.

"The match begins!" the referee announced.

"Take off."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Feng Xiaotian led his team to take off and create distance.

The sky is their advantage, but also the disadvantage of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The advantages of air-to-ground combat are self-evident. It was precisely because of their air superiority that they easily advanced in these days of fighting, and each of them maintained almost their peak condition.

Having watched so many matches, Lu Mingfei and the others already had a good understanding of Shenfeng Academy's tactics.

In summary, it's like "eagles catching birds," using aerial superiority for long-range bombing and concentrated dive attacks. Often, within just a few minutes of the start, they can rout and scatter other teams.

After all, Soul Masters who lack the ability to fly and have no ranged attack skills can only be beaten when facing them.

They don't really have any countermeasures against such tactics.

Dugu Yan's poisonous mist was completely countered by the wind, and the Shi brothers' Xuanwu tortoise shells were also difficult to throw to such a height. As for Oslo, needless to say, only he and Yu Tianheng in the whole team could attack the opponent.

Therefore, they chose a defensive formation, with Ye Lingling in the center and the rest left to Lu Mingfei and Yu Tianheng to play freely on the perimeter.

"I will not repeat the same mistake as last time." Feng Xiaotian flapped his blue Gale Wings, maintaining a high altitude. The seven members, like eagles hunting in the sky, sometimes circled and sometimes looked down.

He knew that Lu Mingfei's tornado soul skill had incredible control over the wind, but it was still limited. As long as they maintained the right distance, the impact on them would be limited.

"Long-range attack!"

Feng Xiaotian, who was positioned high above, launched the first attack. More than twenty wind blades descended from the sky, and the Shi brothers held up the tortoise shell to protect Lingling and the others behind it.

Yu Tianheng gathered soul power in his claws and easily crushed the incoming wind blades with his dragon-transformed arms, while Lu Mingfei dodged all the attacks simply by moving around.

They appear to be passively taking hits, but in reality, they are responding to all changes by remaining unchanged.

While Shenfeng Academy did have an aerial advantage, taking off also required soul power. In addition, with Lu Mingfei's mental power deterrence, their soul power consumption was far higher than that of Tiandou Royal Academy, which was defending on the ground.

Therefore, they must take the initiative to attack.

After the second wave of wind blades landed, the seven people simultaneously rode the wind blades and split into three groups, diving down from three directions, leaving three cyan afterimages in mid-air.

Yu Tianheng unleashed a thunderous roar, gathering his power, while the Shi brothers also activated their defensive soul skills to prepare for battle.

However, when Yu Tianheng unleashed his Thunderous Strike into the air, he realized something was wrong. The lightning only struck Feng Ren; the entire team had already changed direction when he used his soul skill.

No, not one team, but two teams, three teams swooped down, but they only met at one point.

All previous attacks were feints; the real attack is just beginning here.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Towering waves surged down from the sky.

All seven members of the Wind Academy possess wind-attribute soul skills, which complement each other to some extent, resulting in a sudden gust of wind.

These gales can even contain wind blades, which would blow most opponents off the stage.

Faced with overwhelming wind pressure and the sudden attack of wind blades, Lu Mingfei had no choice. His golden eyes ignited, and the domain of the Wind King's Eye expanded instantly.

Within the entire domain, all wind elements were under Lu Mingfei's control. The gale did not stop, but instead rapidly changed its direction according to his will, and the eye of the storm quickly formed above Lu Mingfei.

The attack from Kamikaze Academy vanished in an instant.

"Retreat!" Upon noticing the change in wind direction below, Feng Xiaotian immediately ordered all members to ascend to a height of fifty meters.

How long can Lu Mingfei maintain such a powerful soul skill? Or rather, how many times can he activate it?

Chapter 178 Storm Bomb

Great power comes at a price.

The soul power required for Lu Mingfei's tornado soul skill must be astonishing. Even if he is a Soul King, how long can he maintain it?

Feng Xiaotian and the others maintained their flying altitude, looking down at the tornado with smiles on their faces. As long as Lu Mingfei's soul skill was still active, they would not go down a step. Conversely, as soon as Lu Mingfei's soul skill disappeared, they would launch an attack.

Standing in the sky, they hold absolute initiative.
