Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Tang Hao looked at the master with a complicated expression and said, "I originally planned to let Xiao San grow up carefree, and then take him home to acknowledge his ancestors. When I saw him become your disciple, I was actually very satisfied."

"But what happened next was truly a cruel twist of fate," Tang Hao sighed softly.

"You mean the appearance of Xiao Wu and Lu Mingfei?" The master had been pondering the purpose of Tang Hao's seemingly crazy actions these past few days.

"That's right." Tang Hao nodded. "Originally, Xiao San's innate full-strength Blue Silver Grass wouldn't have caused any trouble. Besides, with you around, I felt very reassured. Even with that little girl who became a one-ring Soul Master early on, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But then Lu Mingfei appeared, and he became the last straw that broke the camel's back!"

"The appearance of two boys with innate full soul power and a girl who is suspected of having innate full soul power in a small border town like Notting City would be a serious matter even for the current Pope, who would send an envoy to investigate."

"But since Xiao San has become my disciple, the Spirit Hall would never force or harm her out of respect for me." Grandmaster shook his head. "As for Lu Mingfei and Xiao Wu, what harm is there in letting the Spirit Hall take them away? Xiao San's safety is the most important thing."

"You're right. That kid named Lu Mingfei is naturally insignificant, but Xiao Wu absolutely cannot be discovered by the Spirit Hall!" Tang Hao's face suddenly darkened.

"Why?" The master's stiff face was full of doubt. He hadn't expected that the root of all Tang Hao's actions was actually this Xiao Wu.

"Because she is a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast!" Tang Hao said coldly.

The master stood there dumbfounded. A 100,000-year-old soul beast had taken human form! He had only seen a few words about it in the collection of the Spirit City, and originally thought it was just a legend, but he never expected that such a thing would actually happen!

He had no doubt about what Tang Hao said, because that was the only way to explain everything.

The thought of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast right under his nose made even a master's heart pound. That was a 100,000-year soul ring and a guaranteed 100,000-year soul bone. If he could absorb them, he could definitely break through to level 29 and gain two 100,000-year soul skills.

However, the master quickly came to his senses, because this was clearly prepared by Tang Hao for his mistress, and indeed, it was the best choice to give it to her.

Tang Hao was very satisfied as he watched the master quickly regain his composure: "I didn't expect Xiao San to be so lucky. First, he awakened a twin martial soul that is rare in a thousand years, and then he encountered a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast that fell from the sky. But things probably turn out to be extreme and reversed. Lu Mingfei appeared out of nowhere and overturned my original idea."

"But what does this have to do with your attack on the Spirit Hall branch? You could have easily kidnapped Xiao Wu and locked her up first, or waited for the Spirit Hall people to arrive before striking to silence them and snatch her away, couldn't you?" Grandmaster frowned, believing that Tang Hao's actions had alerted the enemy, and that Tang San originally had the opportunity to continue his studies peacefully at the academy.

"No, you have no idea. If a transformed spirit beast doesn't want to be captured, no one can get its spirit ring." Tang Hao shook his head and turned around, so no one could see the expression on his face. "My purpose in attacking the Fasno branch was to destroy the latest archives submitted by the Notting City branch. The other branches were just there to confuse the issue. Even if the Spirit Hall discovers something, it will take at least a month to collect, organize, and summarize the records again."

"This month is the time I'm buying for the mistress."

"Going through all this trouble just for an extra month? What's the point?" The master was also confused. You've already exposed yourself, why don't you hurry up and run away with your mistress and the 100,000-year-old soul beast?

"Of course, it's so they'll send their troops to find me and Xiao San." Tang Hao said in a deep voice, "Master, in the days to come, try your best to let Xiao San and Xiao Wu develop their relationship. When the people from the Spirit Hall arrive, that will be the day we leave."

Upon hearing this, the master looked astonished. He instantly understood Tang Hao's plan. Although he felt a chill run down his spine, he couldn't help but admire him.

The master suddenly sighed softly: "Xiao San and Xiao Wu are too young to keep going through all the hardships with you. Once things calm down, you can go to Soto City in the Barak Kingdom and find an academy called Shrek. The dean is a good friend of mine, and I will send all the books there in advance tomorrow so that Xiao San can continue her studies there."

"In addition, I will write a letter to Wuhun City asking her not to issue an arrest warrant for the mistress, since Blue Silver Grass is really not much of a threat."

"Thank you, Master. It's Xiao San's good fortune to have a teacher like you." Tang Hao thanked him softly, then slowly walked out of the room, his tall figure disappearing into the dark night.

-

What does it feel like to fly? Freedom? Exhilaration?

If Lu Mingfei were to answer, it would probably be... loneliness.

Hundreds of meters above the night sky, surrounded only by the howling wind rushing into your ears, all your words are slurred by the wind, making it impossible to speak clearly or hear anything.

"I think I'm lost?"

Lu Mingfei felt a bit of a headache. He used his wings to travel under the cover of night, but he completely underestimated the difficulty of finding his way at high altitude.

There were no road signs, radar, or speedometer in the sky, and he had no way of knowing where he was, relying on the broken compass in his hand and the map he remembered.

However, he was lucky. Suddenly, a large number of fires appeared ahead, which looked like piles of campfires, clearly indicating a human settlement.

Lu Mingfei landed at an open space far away, put on his backpack, and then crept towards the direction of the firelight.

As he approached, he discovered it was a bustling town; even at night, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air.

Not far away, the forest was surrounded by a huge steel fence. Outside the fence, there were several watchtowers and well-equipped troops patrolling the forest from time to time.

He had clearly found the right place.

Lu Mingfei surveyed the Soul Hunting Forest from afar. He had read about it in a book; not only were imperial troops stationed around the area, but the Spirit Hall's law enforcement teams also patrolled the area regularly to prevent anyone from indiscriminately killing soul beasts.

Strictly speaking, all the spirit beasts in the forest are the private property of the Empire and the Spirit Hall. They are captured from places like the Star Dou Great Forest and raised there, specifically to facilitate the hunting of low-level spirit masters for their first and second spirit rings. It can be considered a policy that benefits the people.

However, the requirements for entering this place are very strict; the recommendation letters from three nobles alone are a problem that Lu Mingfei cannot solve.

So his plan was to sneak in under cover of darkness to poach, but he was already exhausted from traveling all day and decided to wait until tomorrow night.

As for now, he needs to find a place to set up camp. He can't stay in the town; there are too many people and too many eyes there, and a child like him would be too easily targeted.
