Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 76 My Mechanism is Above Yours

The moon tonight isn't particularly bright; it hangs in the sky with a reddish-yellow, damp glow, hazy and indistinct. Its light filters through the gaps in the trees, creating dappled shadows. Everything is hidden quietly in the moonlight, creating a unique sense of tranquility.

However, Lu Mingfei had no mind to enjoy the beautiful tranquility brought by nature; his attention was entirely focused on the instruction manual for using the Word Power in his mind.

It details how to use the power of words, much like a dictionary. It looks detailed, but after flipping through it, it doesn't seem to be very useful.

The skill is good, but it's too difficult to put into practice.

First, there's the instantaneous speed. In Lu Mingfei's dragon form, he can accelerate up to 32 times the speed of the fifth rank, fast enough to reach the sound barrier.

But once he tried to advance from the fourth to the fifth level on flat ground, the immense air pressure seemed to crush all his muscles and bones.

"This sound barrier is way too exaggerated." Lu Mingfei once again released the power of words, and the violent noise echoed in his ears for a long time.

Although covering the entire body with soul power can alleviate this immense feeling of compression, the rate at which soul power is consumed is equally astonishing.

For him, using a fifth-tier instant in battle is too inefficient.

Given his current condition, the fourth tier with sixteen times the speed is the most suitable state for him to fight. The fifth tier can only be used to unleash a single blow to win at the critical moment of the battle.

"But then again, this thing is absolutely amazing for escaping." Lu Mingfei's lips curled into a sly smile.

Fighting is fighting, and escaping is escaping. Although he was just a high school student, he still knew a little about aerodynamics.

If you use a fifth-order instantaneous flight while in the air, you can easily break the sound barrier and reach Mach-level speeds by simply adjusting your attitude and retracting your membrane wings.

In that state, the pressure was great, but still bearable; a few seconds was enough for him to escape far away.

He once asked Ning Rongrong how fast Sword Douluo could fly. Based on Ning Rongrong's description, he roughly deduced that it probably hadn't reached supersonic speeds yet.

This is already the speed of a top-tier level 96 Super Title Douluo on the continent; it goes without saying that ordinary Title Douluos can do it even faster.

In other words, from now on, even in front of a Title Douluo, he is not necessarily doomed to die.

The most important thing in the martial arts world is not how cool it is to draw your sword or how fast you can kill, but to stay alive.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Lu Mingfei actually knew just how powerful his cheat code was; to put it bluntly, it was only a matter of time before he reached the top of the entire continent.

So, he didn't actually intend to be so flamboyant at first; he just wanted to develop his career in a low-key and steady manner. However, what happened later was beyond his imagination.

His days at the Royal Academy seemed easy, but he always harbored a faint sense of unease.

In this feudal supernatural world where there is no rule of law and the strong are respected, his life has never been truly secure.

Whether it was Tang Hao, who was initially hiding in the shadows, or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall, whom they encountered later when they arrived in Heaven Dou City.

He appears to be admired by countless people because of his genius, but in reality, these people are only interested in his interests, or they see him as a threat or even an object.

Before one matures, a genius will always remain a genius, not a strong person.

However, his fame grew too fast and too great, exceeding some people's expectations, which led to a delicate balance in Tiandou City. But this balance did not represent goodwill; it was merely a temporary compromise.

Now, he finally has the power to control his own destiny, even if it's just to escape. At least he can finally have a little more confidence when facing those malicious eyes.

"With Kanna here, searching in Sunset Forest is finally a little safer." Lu Mingfei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Looking up at the sky, he realized it was getting late, so he had to give up his idea of ​​entering the forest to search that night. He found an inconspicuous corner to lie down, meditate, and recover his soul power to conserve his energy.

Although the Sunset Forest is far smaller than the Starry Sky Forest, it is still terrifyingly large. He wants to find a mountain, but that won't be easy; it's destined to be a long process.

Fortunately, he had prepared a lot of dry food, enough to last for several months. As for what kind of trouble would break out in Tiandou City, that was a problem for the three old men to worry about.

Ultimately, they are the mainstay of the Contra world; at most, the academy's funding will be reduced a bit.

On the other hand, with the return of Bai Baoshan, the Education Commissioner, after a week away from school, the news of Lu Mingfei leaving the academy to gain experience elsewhere could no longer be suppressed.

As early as the day Bai Baoshan took Lu Mingfei to Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts, the news that Lu Mingfei had broken through to the Soul Venerable level at the age of nine and a half had already spread.

Those who knew the news were speechless with shock; the title of the number one genius of the Heaven Dou Empire was truly well-deserved.

Everyone understood the academy's teaching committee's decision to secretly take Lu Mingfei to hunt souls. Everyone would keep such a precious child hidden away. If someone with ulterior motives were to target him and cause an accident, wouldn't they be heartbroken?

Xue Qinghe was not surprised by Lu Mingfei's breakthrough. A near-god-level martial soul has almost no bottlenecks as long as you cultivate step by step. The faster Lu Mingfei cultivates, the more it proves that Xue Qinghe had good judgment back then.

"Lu Mingfei, you really make me proud."

However, his joy was short-lived. Just as he was heading to the academy to congratulate Meng Shenji, he received a message from him.

"Brother Lu, you've gone out to gain experience?" Xue Qinghe's smile was a little stiff.

"That's right. Mingfei mentioned it to us a few days ago when he broke through. Now that Commissioner Bai has returned, I think we should tell the Crown Prince the news first." Meng Shenji nodded frankly.

"The minimum graduation requirement for the Royal Academy is level 30. Mingfei has the idea of ​​going out to gain experience, and we have no reason to stop him," Bai Baoshan continued.

"Brother Lu is gone just like that?" Xue Qinghe was still a little confused. "Didn't he say he would participate in the Soul Master Competition five years from now?"

"That's right, Mingfei only said he was going out for training. He will come back to participate in the competition five years later." Meng Shenji nodded.

"But he's only nine years old, so young. How can the three education commissioners—let him leave without worry?" Xue Qinghe realized that these three old guys wanted to handle things officially with him.

"Your Highness should be aware of Mingfei's strength. We really can't force him to stay. Otherwise, what would he take us for?" Meng Shenji sighed softly, expressing his helplessness.

Xue Qinghe was speechless. What were they to Lu Mingfei? What reason could they possibly have to stop him from leaving?
