Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

The next moment, the eye of the storm suddenly erupted behind him. Lu Mingfei once again condensed his frozen gauntlets and turned around to throw a punch straight at the oncoming Holy Sword.

"Boom!" Qian Renxue's rapidly descending body came to an abrupt stop.

The immense power of the bronze throne, combined with the reaction force of her own high-speed dive, caused her to lose control of her body even though she immediately discarded the sacred sword.

She tumbled and rolled several times in the sky like a rolling wheel before finally coming to a stop, and Lu Mingfei also stopped falling by using the eye of the storm.

Both of them took a few deep breaths and looked at each other from a distance while hovering in the air.

They all knew very well that the battle had reached this point and the next round would determine the victor.

Chapter 189 Excalibur!

No one expected the battle to be this intense. The odds were constantly shifting between the two sides, and the level of power they unleashed rose from Soul Emperor to almost Soul Douluo.

The entire Spirit City came to a standstill due to this battle. From ordinary people to titled Douluo in the Elder Hall, everyone turned their gaze to the sky, trying to imagine what an earth-shattering battle this was, even though their eyesight could not reach it.

As for the contestants who were still in Wuhun City wanting to witness the final result, they were completely dumbfounded.

To think that they initially dared to challenge such a monster was truly audacious.

Envy, jealousy, and resentment intertwined in their hearts, ultimately turning into helplessness.

They were born in an era destined to be incredibly brilliant, and to witness the rise of these two legendary figures was undoubtedly a great fortune, but also a profound misfortune.

Thousands of meters above the ground, the wind howled. Qian Renxue had no intention of using her aerial advantage to continue the fight. She was clearly exhausted at this moment. She had used up both of her Angelic Descents and now only had one last resort left. If even this move failed, then there was no point in continuing.

Such an intense battle was almost too much for her, but Lu Mingfei showed no signs of exhaustion in his soul power, which was even more excessive than her own.

Lu Mingfei also stared at this successor of the angels. To put it bluntly, there was truly no Soul Emperor who could fight him to this extent.

"Lu Mingfei, you are very strong. I may really lose today." Qian Renxue looked up at the sky and sighed softly. She had to admit that Lu Mingfei was indeed stronger now.

She gritted her teeth, seemingly regretting that if she hadn't left the Spirit Hall back then and hadn't wasted that precious time on cultivation, she certainly wouldn't be so powerless now.

Damn it! They can't even handle a nobody like Lu Mingfei, they've embarrassed themselves across the entire continent.

"I'm sorry, but I must win." Lu Mingfei's tone was extremely serious, his golden eyes flashing with a cold light.

It wasn't that he had changed his personality, but rather that he felt that if he didn't give the other party some face, they might burst into tears.

"Hmph!" Qian Renxue snorted coldly, her sixth soul ring slowly lit up, and her Angel Domain instantly expanded to its limit, with golden lightning bolts like small snakes gathering around her.

In response, Lu Mingfei also chanted Junyan's Word of Power.

Above the sky, the tops of the clouds ignited, and fire elements began to converge there.

The people throughout Wuhun City below noticed that the sun in the sky suddenly brightened, and some kind of distorted ripples appeared in the light and shadow, dazzling the eye. It was the sea of ​​fire formed by fire elements that distorted the light and projected it into Wuhun City.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, then suddenly exhaled, letting out a sharp and resonant long howl, like a proclamation from heaven. The next moment, intense golden flames suddenly erupted from her eyes.

The sixth soul skill of the Angelic Martial Soul, Angelic Roar, is an extremely powerful, wide-range mental attack skill that draws half of the angel's soul power to unleash.

The moment the two beams of light shot out, Qian Renxue gathered her remaining soul power, condensed the sacred sword once more, and launched a final charge against Lu Mingfei with all her might.

She knew that mental energy was Lu Mingfei's specialty, so the dizziness caused by mental energy would be very short-lived, but this was her last chance.

The two beams of light collided and exploded fifty meters in front of Lu Mingfei, but there were no dazzling sparks as expected. Instead, a terrifying mental shockwave spread out, disappearing into nothingness.

However, in the face of Lu Mingfei's golden eyes, this silent and invisible mental shock was not even as distracting as the bleating of a sheep.

Lu Mingfei didn't even blink; he forcibly compressed and concentrated the flowing, dynamic flames onto the sword's edge.

He raised his ice sword high with both hands, a scene he had rehearsed countless times in his daydreams, and now he could finally unleash this declaration of victory with unbridled joy.

"Excalibur!"

With a single slash, the blade instantly broke the sound barrier, emitting a shrill roar.

The liquid flames at the tip of the sword were released through physical pressurization. At first, they were just a long, winding snake, but in an instant, they exploded into a raging Yangtze River of flames.

Everyone in the sky above Wuhun City witnessed this sword strike, which seemed to split the heavens and the earth.

While the Angelic Martial Soul can indeed resist most of the high temperatures of flames, Lu Mingfei's goal was never to melt his opponent, but rather to guide the shockwave from the explosion of the Monarch Flame.

When Qian Renxue saw the sea of ​​fire, she used her soul power to completely isolate herself from the high temperature.

But the subsequent, layered shockwaves struck her like a hammer blow, a deafening ringing in her ears, and she was sent flying backward. Dizzy and unable to maintain her balance, she spun in the air and plummeted rapidly toward the ground.

In her dazed state, Qian Renxue only sensed a faint light and heard the fierce howling of the wind beside her. Then, at a certain moment, the light was replaced by shadows, and the howling of the wind stopped abruptly.

Lu Mingfei rushed to Qian Renxue's side as she fell, using the Eye of the Wind King to catch her body and drop her back onto the Papal Palace square.

As she landed on the cold plaza, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.

Lu Mingfei, shielding her from the blazing sun, looked down at her. His golden pupils, no longer scorching, were now as gentle as candlelight.

"well enough?"

Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers to confirm that the other person was truly awake, then reached out and pulled her up.

The spirit of competition is paramount; friendship comes first, competition second.

Moreover, he knew that this saintess had never intended to kill him; in return, he had always stopped short of killing him.

Qian Renxue stood up, glanced at Lu Mingfei with a complicated expression, and then walked straight to the Pope's side.

Pope Bibi Dong and the three titled Douluo had already returned to the ground. Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan and others who had received emergency treatment outside the arena were also able to stand up with difficulty. At this time, they all walked to Lu Mingfei's side and gave him a high five to celebrate.

Although the smile was slightly awkward, it was mostly filled with the joy of victory.

Bibi Dong calmly announced: "The final champion of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Congratulations to you, talented young soul masters."

The message was transmitted from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, spreading throughout the entire Martial Soul City.

Although the defeat of the Angelic Martial Soul successor disappointed them, it also made them admire Lu Mingfei, who had defeated their Holy Maiden with honor, even more.

The number one genius on the mainland truly deserves the title.

Meanwhile, Grandmaster, who had been waiting at the gate of Wuhun City, heard the final result and drove the carriage carrying Tang San and the others out of the city gate without looking back.

Chapter 190 Qian Renxue's Scheme

In front of the Papal Palace, the Tian Dou Royal Academy team stood in a row, with Dugu Bo, Bai Baoshan, Sun Buyu, Yu Feng, and their accompanying teachers behind them.

Although they were all very excited, they couldn't be impolite in front of the Pope.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, like a daughter-in-law finally becoming a mother-in-law after many years of hardship. It was finally over, and he had lived up to the trust placed in him by the three education commissioners.

The cardinal, acting as the referee, announced loudly: "Please have the representative of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy come forward to receive the championship prize."

Lu Mingfei looked at Yu Tianheng, who shook his head. Although he also wanted to enjoy this honor, he knew that Lu Mingfei was the one who should rightfully accept it.

To be honest, their standing still actually hindered Lu Mingfei's damage output.

Lu Mingfei naturally understood the look in his teammates' eyes. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and finally took a deep breath and walked towards the Pope.

The sooner it ends, the sooner we'll be free.

When he stepped forward, he couldn't help but marvel at how well the Pope had maintained his youthful appearance; he was even more ageless than Lin Chi-ling.

So how exactly did she fall for the master back then? Could it be that the master was actually the type of Shan Cai when he was young?

Bibi Dong was unaware of Lu Mingfei's inner thoughts. At this moment, she looked at Lu Mingfei with admiration. Putting aside all positions, even she had to admit that Lu Mingfei was the most talented Soul Master she had ever seen, and perhaps he could reach that level.

“Lu Mingfei, you are outstanding, even more outstanding than I imagined. It’s not unfair that Xiaoxue lost to you.” Bibi Dong admitted frankly.

Qian Renxue stood to the side with her arms crossed, not saying a word, but just looking at Lu Mingfei with a very complicated expression.

Feeling uncomfortable under their gazes, Lu Mingfei quickly chuckled and said, "Your Holiness is too kind. I was just lucky."

"If we explain it by luck, then it would be too unfair to the efforts of the young soul masters who participated in this grand event." Bibi Dong shook her head softly.

"However, it is truly commendable that you can maintain such a humble and composed attitude. I would like to ask you, are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?"

"With your qualifications, it's not unreasonable for you to take my place in the future."

The crowd on the field: "!!!!?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering if they had misheard. They couldn't believe the Pope would say such a thing, especially in front of Qian Renxue, the Holy Maiden who represented the true lineage of the Spirit Hall's Angels.

What surprised them even more was that the Holy Maiden did not object, and even seemed to be thinking.

Bone Douluo, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. The Spirit Hall was actually going to such lengths for Lu Mingfei? It was practically price gouging and market disruption!

Bai Baoshan, Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and the others behind him all gasped in shock. Although they were on opposing sides, they felt an urge to immediately step forward and agree on Lu Mingfei's behalf.

What a huge sugar-coated bullet!

Lu Mingfei felt as if a golden meteorite was crashing down on him from the sky. He thought to himself that this was not a pleasant surprise, but a terrifying shock.

Moreover, anyone who believes this kind of empty promise is a three-year-old, okay?

Lu Mingfei had reason to suspect that this first non-royal pope in a thousand years was planning to drag him into a power struggle with the Qian family, who represented orthodoxy.

After all, the saintess next to him is the most legitimate person to inherit the papacy. If he really believes her, he'll probably be played to death later.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my ambitions lie elsewhere," Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head, cupped his hands in farewell, and declined.

After all, this joke had gone too far. He didn't want to get involved in the power struggle of the Spirit Hall without even realizing it. Besides, this kind of thing wasn't very appealing to him at all; just thinking about it was troublesome.

Bibi Dong sighed inwardly, but she wasn't surprised: "Fine, you do have the aptitude to pursue a higher realm. In that case, I wish you can enter the Douluo Hall soon."

As she spoke, she took the brocade tray from the hands of a maid from the Spirit Hall, on which was a one million gold soul coin stored-value card that was valid in all the battle arenas across the continent.

For any organization capable of participating and winning, this monetary reward is nothing; it's merely a formality, better than nothing.

However, for Lu Mingfei, this kind of tangible reward is much more substantial than any empty promise.

With eight people, each person could earn an average of 120,000 yuan. Adding the 100,000 yuan performance fee from last time, he could finally be considered a well-off member of the petty bourgeoisie.

When Bibi Dong saw the smile on Lu Mingfei's face as he accepted the prepaid card, she couldn't help but shake her head.

However, before she could announce the end, several unusually strong fluctuations of soul power suddenly came from the open fields not too far outside Wuhun City.

"What's going on?" Bibi Dong frowned and immediately looked at Qian Renxue. Apart from her, only Grand Elder Qian Daoliu in Wuhun City could mobilize Title Douluos.

Qian Renxue met Bibi Dong's gaze but only sneered.

Bone Douluo and Dugu Bo's expressions changed drastically. Others might not know, but they were very clear that one of the soul powers was coming from Tang Hao's aura!

"Wow, there's even a closing performance?" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected there to be an unexpected surprise in addition to the prize money.

If he wasn't mistaken, Tang San's identity had been exposed?

He was originally worried that Tang Hao would wait for him to leave the city and then ambush him, but now it seems that he can breathe a sigh of relief.

In the wilderness, the auras emanating from four figures surrounded Tang San and Tang Hao's carriage.

"father!"

Tang San huddled in the carriage, his face pale and his whole body numb. He had just been looking forward to intercepting Lu Mingfei that night to avenge himself.

How did it suddenly become an ambush among them?

Tang Hao knew that they had probably been exposed long ago, but he didn't have time to think about which link had gone wrong.

They must get Tang San away as quickly as possible, otherwise they will all die when the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall surround them.

"drink!"

Tang Hao's hoarse roar echoed across the wilderness, and a Haotian Hammer, hundreds of meters long and as big as a small mountain, shot into the sky, with red soul light instantly climbing up the hammer's body.

He chose to launch a preemptive attack, breaking the connection between the four.

In an instant, even the air distorted, and a red light enveloped the heavens and the earth, even affecting the distant Martial Soul City.

This was the first time Lu Mingfei had witnessed Tang Hao's power firsthand, and it truly lived up to its reputation.

Qian Renxue, standing to the side, did not change her expression despite the terrifying power. She already knew from Ning Fengzhi that Tang Hao had been suffering from a persistent injury.

Today, they even managed to get two enshrined elders and two other deities to join forces in a coordinated attack. With such an inescapable trap, Tang Hao is certain to die!

Chapter 191 Escape

"This is the unique soul skill of the Clear Sky Sect that the Grand Elder mentioned, which enhances combat power. It is indeed extraordinary. But how much power do you have left after this attack!"

Four figures hidden in black robes also made their move at the same time. Thirty-six soul rings flew across the wilderness, and the two with the strongest power merged their auras in an instant.

The two men activated their seventh soul skills simultaneously, and the two enormous phantom dragon staffs faintly emitted the sound of dragon roars. The other two titled Douluo also unleashed their strongest soul skills at the same time, and the four titled Douluo joined forces to resist this attack.

"boom--"
