Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

"Please bring Teacher Shi Nian back to Canghui Academy after today's match. The Royal Guard will continue to investigate the true culprit behind this incident and will not tolerate it."

After Xue Qinghe, as the representative of the royal family, finished speaking, he left the stage. At the same time, the competition organizing committee announced that today's competition would continue and asked all colleges to prepare.

The students of Canghui Academy looked worse than if they had eaten shit when they heard this conclusion. If they couldn't find out now, they would be even less likely to find out in the future. This meant that their teacher had been implicated for nothing.

"Tch, I knew it! It's your academy's fault." Ma Hongjun didn't forget to kick a man when he was down, and made a sarcastic remark.

The group from Canghui Academy rolled up their sleeves, ready to beat up the fat guy, but their captain stopped them immediately.

"Shrek Academy, you toad-like academy, huh? We'll see. We'll meet in the arena in a few days!" The captain of Canghui Academy said threateningly and quickly pulled his team members away.

"Hmph, anyone can talk big. Didn't you still run away in defeat?" Ma Hongjun was smug, feeling that he had won a great victory today and was particularly proud of his achievement.

Even Dai Mubai patted him on the shoulder in appreciation. It has to be said that Ma Hongjun's mouth is really sharp. When he argues, he hits the other person's heart and lungs directly, which is very satisfying.

"Alright, Fatty, they're all gone." Tang San smiled helplessly, but looking at the departing figures of the Canghui Academy students, he felt something was off. Could it be that they really were driven away by Fatty?

The Canghui Academy students, who had already walked away, were still full of resentment. They had been scolded by Shrek Academy and could only slink away in disgrace. It was too frustrating.

"Captain, our teacher has been incredibly kind to us. How can we tolerate Shrek insulting him like this?" one of the team members said indignantly.

"Yeah, who knows, the incident with Teacher Ding Nian was actually Shrek Academy's doing. We had a verbal argument that day, and they held a grudge, so they had a motive to take action," another team member chimed in.

"Who says we have to endure this? Let's see if they can still be so sharp-tongued when we crush their will on the field!" The captain snorted coldly, his gloomy eyes glancing back at Shrek Academy. "The most urgent thing is to bring Teacher Shi Nian back. He would surely prefer to see us destroy Shrek Academy and win the championship."

The farce has ended, and a new round of qualifiers has officially begun.

Since he was already there, Lu Mingfei didn't want to spoil the fun and obediently followed his teammates to watch the game from the stands.

After all, the three education committee members had given strict orders this time, including Lu Mingfei, that no one was allowed to act alone during the competition, and that anyone coming to watch the competition must be accompanied by the teacher in charge.

With only two months left, he didn't want to stand out. Besides, what happened that year had reminded him that Tiandou City was a mixed bag lately, so he shouldn't provoke anyone into taking action. It would also save the organizing committee and the city defense team some trouble.

"Brother Lu, what's gotten into you today? Tianshui Academy's match is over there, aren't you going to go check it out?"

Xue Qinghe appeared out of nowhere and started speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling immediately turned their gazes toward Lu Mingfei, Yu Feng, and the others.

Yesterday they wanted to find people to watch the game, but they couldn't find a single one. It turned out that those five lecherous guys from Liaoning had already made plans to watch the beautiful girls.

Oslo, Graphite, and the others immediately began to daydream and play dumb, something they had learned from Lu Mingfei.

"Tch, all men are the same." Dugu Yan curled her lip and hugged Yu Tianheng's arm even tighter.

Ye Lingling glanced at the boy with disdain, then moved aside to make room for him, indicating her disdain.

Yu Tianheng didn't say a word, using his silent and aloof attitude to distance himself from them.

"The five elemental academies are all formidable rivals, so of course we need to take them seriously," Lu Mingfei said calmly, glancing at the four good-for-nothings beside him.

Pretending to be stupid is indeed a useful tactic, but if a bunch of people pretend to be stupid, then they really are stupid. In such situations, one should remain calm and composed to avoid being confused with these guilty fools.

"Hiss!" The Shi brothers couldn't help but gasp. Lu Mingfei's skills were too profound; they were simply no match for him!

Even Xue Qinghe was somewhat taken aback by Lu Mingfei's calm attitude.

He came to find Lu Mingfei because he wanted to get information out of him. He was certain that the Title Douluo behind Lu Mingfei had intervened in what happened at Canghui Academy yesterday.

Lu Mingfei and Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy appeared at the street corner tea stall where Shi Nian fainted, a fact he kept secret.

Lu Mingfei didn't report it, probably because he didn't want to cause trouble, and he was also willing to do a favor.

However, the conversation was cut short by Lu Mingfei before it could continue, so it was probably pointless to ask any more questions.

Just then, the first group of ten teams took to the field.

The arena in front of them was hosting a competition for the Blazing Fire Academy.

Lu Mingfei also saw Huo Wu, whom he had met yesterday. However, he never expected that this girl, who had been terrified by his golden eyes yesterday, would not only dare to look him in the eye today, but also greet him shyly.

"Oh my god." This was the thought that Lu Mingfei and the Blazing Fire Academy team members had at the same time.

Huo Wushuang, the older brother, was almost speechless with shock. His own sister, who had such a fiery temper, was actually blushing and shy one day?

For a moment, everyone in the team turned their attention to Lu Mingfei, their eyes filled with a fascinating mix of emotions.

Judging from Huo Wu's inexplicable blush on stage, no one would believe there wasn't something going on between them.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it has to be Mingfei. Honestly, tell me when you did it?" Yu Feng immediately patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, smiling gossipy.

"Slander, blatant slander! I don't even know her name, okay?" Lu Mingfei retorted stiffly. He was telling the truth, okay?

"Doesn't this just prove that Brother Lu, your methods are extraordinary?" Xue Qinghe added calmly, "You won her over without even asking her name. You're a heartbreaker! I admire you to the extreme."

"I admire you, I admire you."

"Amazing, amazing!" Yu Feng and the others quickly cheered.

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, okay?" Lu Mingfei protested and expressed his innocence. How did this get involved in a crime? It sounded like he was some kind of lewd womanizer, even though he was confused himself.

He looked at Huo Wu on the stage, wanting to ask her what was going on. Come on, we only met yesterday! What are you doing, you little girl?!

Huo Wu couldn't hear Lu Mingfei's inner thoughts, but she had just confirmed with her team leader that the time and place where Shi Nian, the vice dean of Canghui Academy, fainted was at the tea stall where she and Lu Mingfei had been together.

As intelligent as she was, she quickly connected the dots and realized why Lu Mingfei's golden eyes had suddenly lit up. Lu Mingfei, a Soul King, had easily withstood an attack from a Soul Saint, and might even have saved her life!

Although she was only caught in the crossfire, she was probably almost killed in the process.

Besides, Lu Mingfei glared at her so fiercely that she was completely captivated. How could she not take Lu Mingfei seriously?

"Facts speak louder than words. Although Lu Mingfei, you are indeed very charming, is it possible that someone would fall for you at first sight? You must have done something to that girl, and you dare to do it but not admit it. This is not the behavior of a man." Yu Feng looked heartbroken.

"Yeah, I remember, isn't this the girl who chased you out yesterday? Tell me, what exactly happened between you two?" Oslo was always eager for more drama.

"I said no, and that's final." Lu Mingfei felt uneasy, as if he had been illegally accused. "Don't make baseless accusations."

"Maybe it's a classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress? You agree, right, Brother Lu?" Xue Qinghe casually remarked.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Xue Qinghe and immediately realized that he had been exposed. He was too lazy to explain, so he simply leaned back tactically, spread his hands and shrugged: "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

That's how gossip paparazzi are; the more you struggle, the more excited they get. So Lu Mingfei simply laid it all out.

However, Xue Qinghe also got the answer he wanted from Lu Mingfei's reaction: a powerful mental-type Title Douluo. Perhaps this could be the clue to unlocking Lu Mingfei's background.

Judging from Lu Mingfei's reaction, there probably isn't anything between him and that girl named Huo Wu, right?

--

The following days were still spent watching the games as usual, ostensibly for observation and learning, but in reality, it was just a legitimate excuse to join in the fun. He didn't want to be out of place, and he had nothing better to do anyway.

Based on the events of the past few days, Lu Mingfei could roughly guess which teams would advance.

So he's been so bored lately that he's started to doze off, but today's match between Shrek Academy and Blazing Fire Academy is a little different.

"Hey, bro, weren't you supposed to be the main character? You look like you're about to cry from being beaten up!"
