Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

The sky was just beginning to lighten; the clock tower's bells had not yet rung, and the sun had not yet risen to warm the earth.

On days like these, snuggling in bed is the ultimate pleasure in life; even God would probably yawn at such a sight.

Of course, Soul Masters cannot be judged by ordinary standards. At this time, there were already quite a few diligent girls in the academy, carrying books and walking along the stone paths in the garden, wearing simple pink and white dresses.

They brushed past the boy, giving him a gentle smile and a friendly "Good morning, senior!" Sometimes they would include his surname, sometimes not. At the same time, the girls would pace back and forth to make sure the boy didn't turn around to peek.

"Tsk, today's look is more subtle. I remember yesterday it was all bright red lips," Lu Mingfei thought to himself, but he kept his eyes straight ahead, though the temperature behind his ears couldn't help but fluctuate a little.

Ever since someone discovered that he regularly got up early every morning to eat at the cafeteria, the stone path he had to take every day from the boys' dormitory to the cafeteria suddenly began to be filled with all sorts of new sights.

From lolis to mature women, from pink ladies to black-haired junior girls, spring at Tiandou Royal Academy seems to have continued from March to late autumn.

This phenomenon of vying for attention can probably be summarized as the campus idols having priority in choosing a spouse. Before, when he was still a little kid, no one thought of this, but now, he is 13 years old, which, according to the customs of the nobility, is the age to get engaged, so... cough cough.

It has to be said that this kind of privilege is a typical feudal dreg. Lu Mingfei had criticized himself countless times, but... no matter how you look at it, it is indeed quite enjoyable.

At least her long legs are really pleasing to the eye, and the envious glances from the male classmates around her are also a kind of enjoyment.

Just like he had imagined countless times in class, after a boring class, his phone would suddenly receive an alarm text message, attracting everyone's attention. Then, less than a minute later, a Black Hawk helicopter loaded with weapons would descend from the sky, lower a rope ladder to pick him up, and take him to save the world. Of course, saving the world wasn't important; the key was the envious and jealous looks from everyone in the class.

However, this kind of thing is already commonplace for him, and the term "awesome" is no longer enough to describe how awesome he is now.

Meng Shenji tugged at his beard to make sure he wasn't hallucinating from meditating for too long.

They knew that Lu Mingfei's cultivation had almost no bottlenecks, but seeing him advance nearly five levels in a year still shocked them.

"Okay, okay!"

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin slapped the table and laughed heartily. They were also proud of the Soul King who was not even fourteen years old.

"Mingfei, what kind of ten-thousand-year-old soul beast are you planning to hunt this time?" Meng Shenji quickly asked. A ten-thousand-year-old dragon-type soul beast might require the three of them, the Education Committee members, to work together.

"Thank you for your concern, three members of the Education Committee. I have already made plans. I came here this morning just to ask for leave. I will be leaving tonight. Please keep this a secret for me." Lu Mingfei nodded slightly. He knew the three members of the Education Committee meant well, but now, hunting souls was indeed not as convenient as it was for him to do it alone.

Meng Shenji and the others naturally understood Lu Mingfei's implied meaning. They had long guessed that Lu Mingfei might have already apprenticed under a powerful master, or that he himself was a member of some reclusive family, which was why he didn't need to return to the academy for help when he got his fourth soul ring.

Just from the power of Lu Mingfei's fourth soul skill, one can see how powerful that thousand-year-old ice-type dragon soul beast must be; it is probably even stronger than a Titan Giant Ape of the same age.

However, since Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, they all tacitly kept quiet about it. Thinking of this, Meng Shenji couldn't help but glare fiercely at Bai Baoshan. Last time, Bai Baoshan secretly took Lu Mingfei to hunt for the third soul ring, which really made him furious!

"That's only right." Meng Shenji nodded. Last time, there was an incident of ambushing and killing on the road. If the news of Lu Mingfei going to hunt souls gets out, he might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Of course, they wouldn't ask Lu Mingfei where he was going to hunt souls.

When Lu Mingfei left, Meng Shenji sighed slightly. The pool of resources at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was ultimately too small to offer Lu Mingfei much help.

Once the Soul Master Competition ends, Lu Mingfei will probably have to leave. I wonder what it will be like when we meet again in the future?

-

Lu Mingfei had long been prepared for the Soul Hunting event, keeping dry food, drinking water, and a tent in his Soul Guidance Device so he could set off at any time.

Although the three education commissioners spoke so casually, he actually knew he was in serious trouble this time.

Dragon-type soul beasts that are ten thousand years old are extremely rare, probably numbering no more than three digits across the entire continent, and almost all of them possess strength comparable to a Title Douluo.

If it weren't for the guaranteed minimum return, he wouldn't dare take such a risk.

If it weren't for the guaranteed minimum return, he wouldn't dare take such a risk.

Moreover, his target this time is the Star Dou Great Forest, which is known as a paradise for soul beasts. There are not only ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but even one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts that may appear there.

He himself was unsure just how far his dragon might could go.

Therefore, he must proceed with caution this time and make a detailed strategy guide, since he will likely need to obtain several more spirit rings from there in the future.

The daytime flew by, and as night fell, Lu Mingfei had recharged his energy.

He activated his Golden Eyes, scanned the nearby soul power units to make sure there were no spies, changed into his night clothes, and quietly descended the rugged mountain forest. After walking for a while and confirming that no one was following him, he revealed his dragon form and headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest in the south.

Two days passed before he showed up to participate in the training camp, and the three education committee members informed Teacher Sun and Yu Tianheng and others that he had gone to hunt souls.

The news of Lu Mingfei's breakthrough to Soul King was finally known to the major powers of Heaven Dou City the following day.

When Ning Fengzhi received the news, he was devastated. The fact that the three education committee members did not accompany Lu Mingfei on this soul hunt meant that Lu Mingfei had at least one titled Douluo-level figure behind him.

No matter what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wanted to do, it was too late.

As for Shrek Academy, although Qin Ming had already made some unpleasant remarks, they were still stunned to hear that Lu Mingfei had advanced five levels in a year and rapidly broken through to the Soul King realm.

"As expected of Mingfei." Ning Rongrong spoke quickly and directly, and Zhu Zhuqing nodded inwardly in agreement.

The others looked at each other, unable to muster any rebuttal.

Dai Mubai, the highest-ranked among them, finally broke through to the Soul Master level a few months ago, but he is still struggling at level 41. As for Tang San, who is ranked second, there is no need to mention him. He is still hovering at level 34 and it will probably take several months before he can reach the next level.

Even Tang Hao, who was known as the youngest Title Douluo on the continent, fell silent. He only achieved that speed back then because he had a full set of top-tier soul bones in the later stages. In the early stages, he was only one level higher than Tang San is now.

In fact, he and the master had discussed Lu Mingfei's unusual cultivation. The master speculated that Lu Mingfei had a special cultivation manual, otherwise, even with Lu Mingfei's entire body of soul bones, such a cultivation speed would be completely inexplicable. He even considered instigating the three sects to join forces to demand it, but Tang Hao stopped him.

He had already confirmed with the intelligence from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that Lu Mingfei might be protected by a titled-level combatant, and his own intuition also reminded him not to act rashly.

With his current physical condition, he can only fight at full strength one or two more times at most, so he can only use it to protect Tang San in life-or-death situations.

He considered other ways, such as whether he could obtain the secret manual from Lu Mingfei through a transaction.

But considering the terrible relationship between Tang San and the other party, even if Xiao Wu were sold to Lu Mingfei, the other party probably wouldn't agree to the deal.
