Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 168 Before the game

The walls of Wuhun City are hundreds of meters high and are made entirely of granite. Perhaps to emphasize the sense of religious ritual, the entire city is not circular, but has a regular hexagonal structure.

When Lu Mingfei first learned about the Spirit Hall, he thought it was a medieval church. However, he later discovered that it was just a shell, worshipping a human ascension god called the Angel God, and had nothing to do with the omniscient and omnipotent God.

The reason it's called "Angel" is probably to save time and resources by being lazy.

"Please stop." A cardinal waited at the city gate, checking the information of each participating team.

Subsequently, under the bishop's leadership, the group of more than two hundred teachers, students and representatives who participated in the competition quickly settled into the city, while the accompanying royal knights set up camp in an open area not far outside the city.

After entering the city, many people got off the carriages. Everyone was obviously very curious about this legendary city.

After all, this is a sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Masters across the continent.

The common people who live in this city are all family members of the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters. Because of this, the city is actually very empty and sparsely populated. It is more like a military camp than a city.

As soon as Lu Mingfei entered the city, he sensed a solemn atmosphere. It was obvious that the residents of this city must be very bored. There was probably no large arena, let alone a tavern.

"Look over there, that should be the legendary Papal Palace and Douluo Palace." Yu Feng immediately became excited and pointed to a hill in the center of the city.

Halfway up the mountain, a columned, domed church gleamed in the sunlight; that was the Papal Palace, where the Pope, the supreme leader of the Spirit Hall, resided.

At the summit stands a small palace-like building, the most revered place on the entire continent: the Douluo Palace, the tomb of all the titled Douluo who have perished across the continent over the past thousand years.

Besides worshipping the Angel God, the Spirit Hall also upholds the supreme principle of spirits. Every powerful person who can become a Title Douluo, unless he is an evil person who indiscriminately kills innocent people, is qualified to enter the Douluo Hall after he leaves and be worshipped and revered by the entire continent.

Lu Mingfei glanced at it from afar and could indeed feel that it was filled with an aura of sacred light.

After seeing the Ice and Fire Dragon King and the half-body of the Dragon God, he knew that gods truly existed, and the Angel God behind the Spirit Hall should also be real.

Therefore, the main storyline of the war in this world is most likely to be a war between the representatives of the gods, or even the gods themselves.

In short, it far exceeded what he initially thought would be a battle between Title Douluos.

He has finally managed to acquire the combat power to rival a Title Douluo, but in the future, a Title Douluo will be nothing more than a random elite monster on the roadside. Only a true god-level being can determine the final outcome.

Just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt.

Teams from the Tiandou region were all accommodated in a restaurant in the west of Wuhun City that was specially set up to entertain guests.

The accommodations are basic, not comparable to the luxury hotels in Tiandou City; they are simply well-equipped and clean.

What's most surprising is that all the staff in the restaurant, including the cooks and waiters, are Soul Masters, with the lowest level being a Second Ring Great Soul Master or above. Even the most luxurious Tian Dou Hotel couldn't match this level of personnel.

In a way, it's a kind of understated luxury with substance, considering that some of the contestants are only Soul Masters.

After everyone's accommodations were arranged, the entire Tiandou Royal Academy team gathered in Bai Baoshan's room to discuss their next tactics.

The main reason is that their team's reputation is incredibly high this time.

Although the Spirit Hall's five teams are also the strongest ever, it's conceivable that they will likely be targeted in the upcoming draw.

After all, even though the Spirit Hall team had three Soul Kings, they obviously wouldn't dare to say they could win for sure.

The Spirit Hall will definitely try to make things difficult for them within the bounds of the rules.

"I've said this many times before. Everyone should rest well these few days and get plenty of rest to prepare for the battle."

"Also, I know it's your first time in Wuhun City, and you probably want to go out and explore, but that's absolutely not allowed this time. You all have to stay with me and Teacher Sun. After all, none of us know if someone will use underhanded tactics." Bai Baoshan stroked his beard and solemnly reiterated the discipline. This was their closest chance to win the championship, and they only had a little over ten days. He didn't want any accidents to happen.

"Understood!" everyone answered in unison. Although they might be a bit carefree in normal times, they were absolutely unambiguous when it came to important matters.

Besides, there's not much to see in this city. I haven't seen many people along the way today, and there's a curfew tonight.

The only attraction, the legendary Papal Palace, is also beyond their reach, so it's best for them to wash up and go to bed early.

As soon as the meeting ended, Lu Mingfei and his group came out, intending to go downstairs to the restaurant to have something to eat before returning to their rooms to rest.

We've had a long and tiring journey, and we don't even encounter cities every day. We're already tired of eating dry rations.

To his surprise, as soon as they went downstairs, they saw the master also appear at the restaurant. However, the master's face was so dark that Yu Tianheng didn't dare to go up and greet him.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that the master was too ashamed to see his ex-lover, but now it seems that the master is clearly eager to see his ex-lover and has set off ahead of time. However, judging from his appearance, his ex-lover is likely to be jealous and turn against him.

He had witnessed many Valentine's Day murders before, and the fact that the master appeared unharmed could only mean one thing: his old flame must have a deep love for him.

"I'm sorry, mistress."

In Tang San's room, Grandmaster stood at the window, gazing towards the direction of the Papal Palace with a guilty expression, and sighed.

A few years ago, with the consent of Haotian Douluo, he wrote a letter to Bibi Dong under the guise of academic research, hoping to learn from her about the cultivation conditions of twin martial souls, but he received no reply.

This time, he personally visited, but was still turned away. It turned out that Bibi Dong had guessed from the letter he wrote that Tang San, whom she had taken as her disciple, might have twin martial souls.

After all, such a secret is of no value except to people who also possess twin martial souls.

Although he denied it at the time, his visit this time confirms the suspicion.

Instead of helping his disciple, he revealed the biggest secret to the enemy; he was incredibly stupid.

"Teacher, this is not your fault." Tang San shook his head. In fact, he and Tang Hao had already expected this outcome.

When Tang Hao asked the master to ask this question in the letter, he was already prepared to be suspected.

But we can't just not ask questions for fear of being suspected, can we?

However, he hid it very well. So what if the Spirit Hall guessed it? The day he could reveal his identity would be the day he mastered the Clear Sky Hammer and overthrew the Spirit Hall.

"Brother, are you really alright?" Xiao Wu anxiously grasped Tang San's hand. She had always harbored a deep fear of Bibi Dong, and the thought that they might all be targeted by her sent chills down her spine.

If Tang Hao hadn't given her a treasure that could conceal the aura of a soul beast, she would never have dared to come to Martial Soul City.

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, teacher. Actually, my father has already figured out the cultivation method for twin martial souls." Tang San said confidently, "After I defeat Lu Mingfei, my father will take us away directly for special training."

"Since Haotian Douluo is confident, then there shouldn't be any problems." Grandmaster also breathed a sigh of relief. He could guess why Tang Hao was willing to let Tang San become his disciple in the first place.

"In that case, Xiao San, you should prepare well for the competition. Also, I have some good news. The Spirit Hall values ​​Lu Mingfei more than we imagined. If he wants to win the Soul Master Competition this time, it won't be easy."

The master knew that Tang San's current mental block was all about Lu Mingfei. If it weren't for the need to defeat Lu Mingfei fairly and squarely and restore Tang San's confidence, they might not have been willing to let Tang San come to the Wuhun City competition.
