Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

"Don't you two elders find it strange that Tang Hao has wreaked havoc on the continent this time?" Bibi Dong asked calmly.

Although four level-three main halls, two level-two sub-halls, and one level-one branch hall were destroyed, and over a hundred Spirit Hall deacons were killed or wounded, it was not a crippling blow to the Spirit Hall, but it was still a great loss of face.

Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned and said, "It is indeed very strange. Tang Hao has a blood feud with our Spirit Hall, so it is reasonable for him to take revenge. But how could someone of his status target a Spirit Hall that doesn't even have a branch? Unless he really intends to eradicate all of our lower-level organizations. But he couldn't possibly not have anticipated that we would surround and ambush him, at which point he would most likely be caught like a turtle in a jar."

"In that case, his actions are completely illogical. After all, if he really wanted to retaliate, he should have taken advantage of our unpreparedness to destroy the main halls in the two great empires and the branch halls in those important cities first."

"That's right. If Tang Hao's return this time is truly intended to start a full-scale war with us, then his first target wouldn't be these small branch halls. His actions are tantamount to stirring up trouble. Rather than saying he's hunting and creating panic, it's more accurate to say he's concealing his true objective." Bibi Dong revealed a slight smile: "There must be something he's trying to hide in the attacked martial spirit branch halls."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes lit up. If he remembered correctly, Tang Hao and that soul beast had a child. How could someone with offspring do such a reckless and desperate thing?

Unless he's paving the way for that bastard!

"Send people to investigate all the martial spirit awakenings, soul master subsidy receipts, and new student admission files for all primary, intermediate, and advanced academies across the continent over the past three years. There isn't much of value in the grassroots branch halls, so the focus should be on the areas attacked by Tang Hao and their subordinate areas. Any abnormalities should be reported to me."

"Furthermore, we cannot rule out the possibility that Tang Hao may continue to commit crimes in order to confuse the public. All the titled elders in the Elder Hall will continue to patrol the continent in groups of three." Bibi Dong waved her hand and issued the order, and in an instant, all the messengers in Wuhun City were mobilized.

Notting College, Back Hill

Lu Mingfei was practicing sword techniques, thrusting, while brandishing the iron bar. The end of the bar had been sharpened to an extremely sharp point, or rather, it should be called an iron awl.

He didn't go to the library for five days, devoting himself entirely to practicing swordsmanship. The whole school was abuzz with the news that a work-study student was practicing swordsmanship with a fire poker, which quickly became a laughing stock in the new college.

However, since the college's top student is now also a work-study student, no one dares to make fun of him intentionally.

"Lu Mingfei, don't you feel ashamed to use something like this?" Xiao Wu and a group of her underlings stormed over to watch, clearly feeling that Lu Mingfei had embarrassed her.

That's true. Lu Mingfei's movements are all about thrusting and stabbing, which would make anyone who sees it feel ridiculous.

"There's nothing I can do, I really don't have any money." Lu Mingfei spread his hands. He actually felt a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about the difficulties in the early stages of development. As long as it could help with the Soul Hunting, Lu Mingfei could try his best to overcome it. After all, as long as he was strong enough in the future, he could be called a Sword Saint even with a wooden sword.

"You're not planning to use this to hunt soul beasts, are you?" Wang Sheng quickly realized Lu Mingfei's intention. But when hunting soul beasts together, with the teacher's help, is it really necessary to use something like this to end the soul beast's life?

"I can't help it, I don't feel safe fighting bare-handed. Anyway, I can't cultivate soul power right now, so I'll just practice casually." Lu Mingfei shrugged. He couldn't very well tell them that he planned to use this iron bar to kill a hundred-year-old soul beast single-handedly, could he?

"What's the use of this? Are you planning to use it as a toothpick for a soul beast?" Xiao Wu was even more disgusted when she heard this.

"It could also be barbecue skewers," Lu Mingfei said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu burst out laughing, and Wang Sheng and the others couldn't help but laugh as well.

Lu Mingfei gave an awkward smile but didn't say anything.

He simply took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then sheathed his sword at his waist, took a half step forward with his right foot, and squatted down.

The laughter of Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others suddenly stopped because they could feel that Lu Mingfei's aura had suddenly become heavy, and the surrounding air seemed to suddenly become solemn.

Lu Mingfei drew his sword.

Only Xiao Wu caught a glimpse of a dark shadow and a flash of light out of the corner of her eye; the others only heard a terrifying howl in the wind.

In a third of a second, Lu Mingfei had already taken three steps forward. The tip of the iron cone pierced through a bamboo without any hesitation, but the bamboo was completely undamaged, without even the slightest tremor or crack.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei extinguished his golden eyes, pulled out the iron cone, swung it in a blood-vibration motion, and sheathed his sword.

Lu Mingfei, the Sword Saint of the Children's Palace, is a serialized story!

This is the result of Lu Mingfei's training over the past week, imitating the sword-drawing thrust of Kendo!

The movements were extremely simple, but the shock they brought was indescribable. Even though Xiao Wu and the others didn't understand what swordsmanship was, such a fast attack was simply terrifying and... cool!

Especially the final move of Blood Shaking and Sheathing the Blade, made all the boys' hearts pound, and even Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god."

Listening to the heavy breathing of the people behind him, Lu Mingfei was quite satisfied with his performance.

He had actually discovered that, to some extent, the Soul Masters of this world were quite fragile.

Especially in the early stages, not to mention weapon spirit masters, even beast spirit masters could be killed by a small dagger if they didn't have their spirit attached beforehand. In other words, during the development period of a spirit master, the role of weapons is still very prominent.

The same principle applies to spirit beasts. As long as they are not fully armored defensive spirit beasts, weapons can still inflict fatal damage on them.

What Lu Ming insisted on doing was to make the process more precise and faster, because in the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to win.

"Lu Mingfei, where did you learn that?" Xiao Wu asked excitedly, and everyone else gathered around.

"Our youth center," Lu Mingfei said casually with a laugh.

"I want to learn too! Teach us quickly!" Xiao Wu hurriedly found a similar bamboo pole on the ground.

"It's basically a thrust, which is just one move. The key is speed and accuracy, as well as the burst of soul power," Lu Mingfei explained patiently.

Ultimately, it's just a simple action, nothing complicated. It's normal for kids to like these cool things, but they'll be disappointed once they try it themselves.

Sure enough, once the initial enthusiasm wore off, Xiao Wu immediately lost interest. Her movements lacked any real feeling, and she angrily threw down the bamboo pole and left.

Lu Mingfei watched the children's departing figures and smiled helplessly. These children were so carefree. Tomorrow was the last day of the school closure, and it was time for him to leave as well.
