Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

On a morning when white doves were flying, sunlight shone on the college flowerbeds, reflecting the dew. Lu Mingfei walked along the cobblestone path to the cafeteria as the early morning bell rang.

"Ten steamed buns, meat kind, please."

"Horse, right away." The cafeteria worker stammered for no apparent reason, while the child opposite him had eyes that looked like he wanted to eat someone alive.

Lu Mingfei's eyes were bloodshot, not from lack of sleep or fatigue the night before, but from extreme hunger!

He quickly paid and took the steamed bun, taking a deep breath of the hot, fragrant steam. His eyes lit up, as if he had received some kind of salvation.

Before he could even sit down, he bit directly into the bun with his big white teeth. The salty and savory meat filling, along with the aroma of oil, whetted his appetite. The slight feeling of fullness he felt finally gave him a sense of survival.

"It smells so good."

Lu Mingfei ate as he walked, and after getting a free bowl of soy milk, he finally sat down at the table. His mouth never stopped moving; he looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"Phew." After finishing a bowl of soy milk, Lu Mingfei's mind finally cleared up.

Last night he was experimenting with his martial soul, and before he knew it, he almost fainted from hunger. Luckily, he had some dry food stored in his backpack, otherwise Lu Mingfei felt he might have become the first student in the noble academy to starve to death.

The reason for this was that he had pushed himself too hard last night. While he could feel his meditation efficiency nearly double under the influence of his Martial Soul, the physical exertion was enormous, and he couldn't recover from his mental fatigue, which only worsened it.

Lu Mingfei felt that this cultivation method was a bit like overclocking a computer processor; although the performance was improved, it also caused great damage to the body.

Overall, however, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Lu Mingfei felt as if he had developed a new active skill: by sacrificing energy and stamina, he could accelerate the leveling up of his experience bar.

He named this skill "Overclocking Meditation." Although the effect of this skill seems insignificant on the surface, if the usage time can be reasonably extended, it is practically a cheat code.

"It's a good thing they offer scholarships here, otherwise the subsidy of just one gold soul coin wouldn't be enough to cover food and drink," Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

As the canteen of a prestigious academy, the meal costs are naturally much higher than in the countryside. Director Lin took this into consideration and applied for the scholarship because he didn't want Lu Mingfei to suffer any injustice in terms of food.

Five gold soul coins are enough for even an adult to eat their fill at their school cafeteria.

"Looks like I'll have to bring back more late-night snacks from now on." Lu Mingfei left the cafeteria with the last steamed bun in his mouth.

He plans to experiment more in the next few days to see how long it will take for him to recover his energy after overclocking.

Of course, he didn't want to let go of the simulated training ground either; no one can ever have too many cheat codes.

For the next two weeks, all the students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Intermediate Academy saw a busy figure, regularly appearing in the teaching buildings, training halls, canteens, simulated training grounds, libraries, and dormitory entrances.

For these aristocratic students, this ascetic lifestyle was exhausting just to look at.

"A peasant is a peasant."

"Zhao Tianming's loss was not unjust; who can defeat such a cultivation fanatic?"

"I think he might be able to get into a higher college in less than a year."

……

Various discussions arose on campus, with some admiring, some disdainful, and some even starting to imitate.

Lu Mingfei was unaware that he had become a so-called academic superstar in the eyes of his classmates, when in fact, this had nothing to do with him as an ordinary high school student.

Self-discipline, such a superior human quality, is something that a mediocre student like him sitting in the back row could never possess.

The most self-disciplined thing he ever did in his life was to check Chen Wenwen's QQ space every night before bed for three years of high school. As for his many determinations to study hard and get up early to exercise, he gave up each time in less than a week.

The reason he seems so motivated these days is entirely due to his desire to exploit bugs so he can be lazy in the future. As we all know, people always have unlimited energy when they are doing bad things.

"Phew, finally found it."

These past few days, he searched through all the mimicry training grounds on and off the mountain, and finally confirmed that he felt the energy activity in the Wind Mimicry Training Ground at the mountain peak.

When he meditated in that place, the dragon that his mind transformed into was not only lighter, but also had a sense of exhilarating comfort.

However, the effect of this field buff was not particularly outstanding; it probably only increased his meditation efficiency by less than 10%.

"No wonder some people brought tents. In a place like this, if you want to see a prominent point, you have to stretch the battle line." Lu Mingfei shook his head and went down the mountain.

It normally takes him more than half an hour to run from the foot of the mountain to the top at full speed. The benefits and costs are completely disproportionate. It seems that he won't need this place before he gets into the advanced academy.

Having found a suitable training ground for mimicry, Lu Mingfei's inner energy suddenly dissipated. He went down the mountain and returned to the academy cafeteria, where he indulged himself by ordering several extra dishes to treat himself.

"Mingfei, you have a day off tomorrow. Do you have any plans?" Li Lan brought over a tray as soon as Lu Mingfei sat down. He was one of the few people in the college who could be considered Lu Mingfei's friend.

Like Notting Academy, Royal Intermediate Academy has a six-day work week and a one-day rest week, and there are no dormitory checks. Some students who live in the city often go home at night, which is only a little over an hour's journey for a Soul Master at full speed.

"No." Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and shook his head. In the past, he would have taken advantage of his aunt taking Lu Mingze shopping in the city center square to find an internet cafe, order a bottle of nutritional drink, and play a few rounds of StarCraft.

However, such conditions are not available here, so he plans to meditate at high frequency for a few hours at night, and then sleep until he naturally wakes up, savoring the feeling of sleeping in. Thinking about it, he has not slept in even once since he came to this world.

"How about I treat you to a stroll around Heaven Dou City after dinner?" Li Lan raised an eyebrow. "You haven't had a proper look around Heaven Dou City since you arrived, have you?"

Lu Mingfei was slightly tempted by the suggestion. He thought that it was already a new month and his allowance from the Spirit Hall had been updated. He would have to go there sooner or later. Moreover, he had been cultivating all day and was feeling a bit tired of it. He needed to balance work and rest.

"Where should we go after we get to the city?" Lu Mingfei asked. He was mainly worried that his wallet wouldn't be able to keep up. In the past, when the literary society had activities, we would at most go to the movies or go boating in the park. His allowance was enough to support us. But who knew how outrageous the prices in Tiandou City would be?

Li Lan replied with a smile, "Of course it's a place that all Soul Masters go to."
