Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

"Wait, damn it, don't go that far and kill me!"

Chapter 18 Sadness (Please read and add to your favorites)

Lu Mingfei was not familiar with the ability he had just acquired, so he used it rather cautiously.

If something goes wrong, no one will pay you anymore, and you'll also face the possibility of being imprisoned, confined, or even dissected for research by the authorities.

Therefore, try to use as little force as possible.

When Xu Si reminded him, he reduced the amount of Qi in his body significantly, and only a small amount of Qi was directed at Xu Si.

Lu Mingfei sensed the emotions corresponding to the organs in Xu Si's body. The moment he saw them, he knew how to operate them, as if long-sealed memories had been unleashed, and he became more and more adept at using them.

Just as he was about to focus his anger on Xu Si's meridians, a memory flashed before his eyes of Liu Yanyan almost attacking him. Liu Yanyan managed to hold back, but her emotions collapsed.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Xu Si's tense yet expectant expression. He was quite certain that Xu Si would "go on a killing spree" in a fit of rage.

Therefore, it was decided to focus on Xu Si's ability to influence feelings of sadness.

Having identified its target, the Qi attached to Xu Si was like a pair of invisible hands, grasping Xu Si's "sorrow" as if it were a physical object and holding it in its hands. It gently bent it, its resilience like that of bamboo chopsticks. With a little force, the "sorrow" bamboo chopsticks were gently bent.

"No..." Xu Si suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and all sorts of unpleasant memories flooded back, making him feel instantly sad. "Which meridian of mine did you attack?"

"..." Lu Mingfei didn't know what kind of meridian this was, he could only feel that the negative emotion here was sadness. "It seems to be connected to the lungs. It looks pretty big to me, so it should be able to withstand some stress, so I chose this one."

As he spoke, seeing that Xu Si did not call for a stop, he assumed that the other party felt that his strength was not enough, so he increased the force.

"So it's the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin. Negative emotions are associated with the meridian of sadness, and its power..." Xu Si had already begun to experience the power of the Twelve Labors of Emotion Array. Even after decades of cultivation, he found it difficult to cope with the repeated torment of his meridians.

Xu Si suddenly felt a chill in the surroundings, and goosebumps began to rise all over his body. Even though he was wearing a thick All-Tong work uniform, he still felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, and the corners of his mouth instantly drooped.

My nose felt more than just sore; it was as if I'd been interrupted. My eyes were glistening with tears.

The sadness surged towards him like a flood bursting its banks, overwhelming him completely.

The sadness was indescribable, as if his only and most beloved toy from childhood had been destroyed, his whole world had collapsed, and he had been completely plunged into darkness. The thick darkness seemed to pull him in like a living thing, leaving him no room to resist.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and fell to the ground.

Just then, the sadness vanished, and Xu Si finally realized what was happening.

"Okay..." He swallowed, moistening his dry throat. "All done."

He'd cultivated for decades, only to be defeated by someone who'd only been cultivating for a few days. It's such a blow, it's so painful.

Hold it in, you must hold it in. How could you, Xu Si, a tough guy who fought your way out of a gang of thugs, actually cry in front of a junior?

Xu Si took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“Um…” Lu Mingfei pulled his outstretched hand back. He hadn’t expected the Twelve Labors Formation to be so powerful that even Xu Si, an old fox, couldn’t withstand it.

She even cried sadly, though it's unclear whether it was genuine crying or just the influence of the Twelve Labors Formation.

A naive young man was led into the building by his boss, who then used his powers to make the boss cry... If this gets out, I wonder if it will damage his reputation or Xu Si's.

Lu Mingfei awkwardly scratched the ground with his toes.

"Fourth Brother? Are you alright? How about trying other emotions? Try the meridian that governs happiness..."

"You want me to ride an emotional rollercoaster, don't you?" Xu Si seized the opportunity to reach out and give Lu Mingfei a sharp rap on the head. The sadness he felt earlier seemed to dissipate most of it after that slap.

Seemingly still not satisfied, he looked at Lu Mingfei, who was covering his head, and quickly gave him another sharp rap on the head.

"Also, don't interrupt me. Let me finish speaking before you take any action," Xu Si said unhappily.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei replied with dissatisfaction, rubbing the bump that had just bulged on his head. Xu Si's force was so great that it made his head ache terribly.

He was now absolutely certain that Xu Si had done it on purpose, and that the last blow just now was definitely intentional.

"The Twelve Labors Formation has good concealment, but its characteristics are too obvious, especially the ability of the All-Power Thunder Smoke Cannon." After the two sharp blows he had just received, Xu Si's emotions had stabilized a lot, but he still felt a little itchy in his hands.

"Therefore, try not to use this ability in public. There are specific times when you can get people out of trouble in the company. If you are confirmed to be a member of Quanxing, the company will need to consider how to deal with you."

As Xu Si thought about this, his thinking broadened considerably.

If Lu Mingfei were just an ordinary employee at Nadutong, he would be detained. But if his status is elevated, the company will treat him leniently, depending on the circumstances.

My status has been elevated... to temporary worker.

But... Lu Mingfei's abilities are like those of a little kid who has gained power but doesn't know how to use it. It's like a baby holding a sharp blade, not knowing how to use it. If used improperly, it can harm both himself and others.

It is dangerous to put your energy into people who cannot control themselves and cannot distinguish between good and evil.

Another idea came to Xu Si's mind: the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony... He wanted Lu Mingfei to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

“You are strong, but lack experience. Now that this mission is over, you can take a break. During this time, move out of the dormitory and live with Zhang Chulan and the others. Let Bao Bao train you... teach you how to use your power.”

“I think my strength is enough, and I will gradually figure out how to use it myself.” Lu Mingfei took a step back from Xu Si, and just as he moved away, Xu Si’s lash landed on the spot where he had just been standing.

"No rebuttal allowed... Hey, you're running pretty fast. Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xu Si knew how to manipulate Lu Mingfei.

"Employees who disobey management will have their wages deducted, and they will also be arrested and dissected for research."

Lu Mingfei had already gotten used to Xu Si's verbal threats, which were no longer of any use to him, and he had an expression of complete indifference.

Xu Si added slowly and deliberately:

"When they were arrested and investigated, the process was extremely detailed. They studied a person's entire life, from birth to death, including all their experiences, the people they had crushes on, who they had fawned over, who they wanted to cheat on, what they would search for in their browsers—all of this was done to create a personality profile..."

"Fourth Brother, I give up. Please stop nagging. It's more of a headache than a tight headband on a monkey's head. I'll just follow the organization's arrangements, okay?" Lu Mingfei replied with lingering fear.

Xu Siquan knew all about his dark past; if he were to reveal it, he would be truly ruined.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's extremely nervous expression, Xu Si nodded in satisfaction.

Chapter 19 The Grand Ritual of Luo Tian (Please continue reading)

A dejected Lu Mingfei returned to the ward.

Zhang Chulan was covering one side of his face, looking at Feng Baobao with reluctance, seemingly a little aggrieved.

Some red marks were visible on the palm of the hand covering the face.

Zhang Chulan got beaten up by Feng Baobao again.

Lu Mingfei was puzzled as to why he had said "again".

Xu Si cleared his throat, trying to calm himself down from the emotional rollercoaster.

“Starting today, Lu Mingfei will go back to train with you. In a few days, it will be the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. He is also suitable, so let him participate to protect Zhang Chulan.”

“…Huh?” Lu Mingfei responded blankly.

"Me, participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

"What's wrong with you?"

"How could I dare? Fourth Brother, you're a man of your word." Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully, "What exactly is the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

These past few days, staying in my room reading comics and eating snacks has been so enjoyable. I learned about the temporary worker and other miscellaneous things from Liu Yanyan.

Xu Si patiently explained:

"Originally, the Luotian Grand Ceremony was nothing special; it was just a ritual performed by a group of Taoist priests to worship heaven and earth."

"In the world of supernatural beings, this event was held by people from the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain to select Celestial Masters. However, the problem arose with Zhang Chulan. The news that Zhang Chulan was invited to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony spread throughout the world of supernatural beings."

"Zhang Chulan, who is not a member of the Celestial Master's Mansion, was invited to participate in this Celestial Master selection, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the 'Ten Elders', a big shot in the world of supernatural beings."

"The old Celestial Master had no choice but to expand the scope to the entire world of supernatural beings. Anyone under the age of thirty could participate, and the winner would be granted the position of Celestial Master. Recently, Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders, even brought out one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the 'Heavenly Talisman.' If the winner did not wish to inherit the position of Celestial Master, he would be taught the Heavenly Talisman."

"Although many people are not interested in the position of Celestial Master, the 'Tongtian Talisman' of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques is a coveted item, so Zhang Chulan will definitely face many difficulties in participating in the Luotian Grand Ceremony this time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei understood his role—a thug and an actor.

"Am I the only thug? I'm not very confident, after all, I have strength but I can't fight." Lu Mingfei frankly admitted his shortcomings.

Xu Si smiled slightly and walked to Feng Baobao's side, speaking softly.

"So I hired a teacher for you, a very good teacher."

He continued to speak to Feng Baobao with a slightly sinister tone, without any attempt to hide it: "Baobao, you and I will give him a good beating during the next few days of training."

"Don't worry about leaving him to me, I'll train him properly." Feng Baobao nodded earnestly.

"?" Lu Mingfei's expression was one of utter confusion.

"Wait a minute, if Sister Bao'er is this strong, doesn't she participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

"Do you know how many extraordinary people have come to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?" Xu Si asked.

"do not know."

"That's settled then." Xu Si had just taken the cigarette case out of his pocket when he felt a sharp gaze fall on him, and reluctantly put it back.

"China has 1.4 billion people. Even if you are a genius who is one in ten thousand, there are still tens of thousands of such people in China. There are countless powerful superhumans. This 30-year-old age limit is very delicate."

Xu Si became somewhat saddened when he spoke of this.

"Ten years, ten years can bring a lot of changes, not to mention that Zhang Chulan is only nineteen years old now. It will be even more difficult for him to defeat those old hands. Moreover, some of the Ten Elders are eyeing the 'Tongtian Talisman' and will definitely send their own people of suitable age and good strength to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. The probability of Zhang Chulan being eliminated is very high."

Xu Si's eyes suddenly sharpened as he looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Therefore, at least one insurance is needed to ensure Zhang Chulan's advancement."

"So Sister Bao'er is the second layer of insurance?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"You're quite clever." Xu Si patted Feng Baobao on the shoulder. "Baobao is indeed a second layer of insurance."

Lu Mingfei scratched his messy hair. He understood the position of the first Celestial Master. It meant being the head of a powerful force, someone who could boss people around.

But is the allure of these eight extraordinary skills really that strong?

"Fourth Brother, these Eight Extraordinary Skills... why... why are people so eager to acquire them?" Lu Mingfei paused for a moment before saying this.

"Didn't Yan Yan tell you?" Xu Si asked.

“She only asks about my gossip,” Lu Mingfei said.

"Okay, I'll send you the information on the Eight Extraordinary Techniques." Xu Si picked up his phone and performed a few simple operations.

"What do extraordinary people seek in their lifetime of Qi cultivation? They seek peace of mind, strength, and fearlessness. The pursuit of extraordinary people in Qi cultivation is nothing more than honing their skills and improving themselves."

"But... someone told you that there is something created by someone who exhausted their life essence, which can make you instantly become powerful without having to spend more than ten years, or even a lifetime, to hone your skills."
