Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

Wang Ye pointed to the old master who was accompanying the leaders on an inspection tour.

The old master's neat white hair was tied into a bun. He made a peace sign at the camera, smiling and squinting his eyes so that they looked like slits. His aged appearance, combined with his all-white hair and beard, gave him a somewhat otherworldly and approachable look.

Lu Mingfei never expected to see the words "full of energy" on an elderly person.

"The old Celestial Master looks very energetic."

“The most outstanding people in the world of supernatural beings are no joke,” Wang Ye explained.

"The old Celestial Master isn't bald, so how could he be bald?" Lu Mingfei blurted out nonsense, carefully examining the white hair on the old Celestial Master's head to confirm that it was real hair.

"This..." Wang Ye was at a loss for words and could only cover up his embarrassment with an awkward laugh.

"This 'perfect' doesn't refer to hair loss, but rather to a classification of strength, an external recognition of the Old Celestial Master's formidable power," Wang Ye continued.

"There is a saying circulating in the world of supernatural beings: one supreme master, two heroes, three corpses, and four madmen."

"It's just a way of saying it. After all, there are still some reclusive cultivators, and it just sounds nice. There's also the suspicion of it being just to make up the numbers. At least one thing is universally acknowledged by everyone in the world of supernatural beings: the strength of the Old Celestial Master. It is said that he has never been defeated. From his youth to his old age, he has never been defeated in two decades."

Hearing about the old master's astonishing battle record and his robust physique, Lu Mingfei suddenly had a strange feeling.

Having only practiced Qi for about ten days, I felt I would die before the over-100-year-old Celestial Master.

He's only eighteen.

It's time to get some exercise.

After the leader's inspection ended, the three of them walked up to the old master.

The self-introductions began again.

After a few brief pleasantries, Zhang Chulan was taken away by the Old Master, leaving behind Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye, and Lu Mingfei.

Zhang Lingyu's appearance caught Lu Mingfei's eye. His handsome looks could charm countless girls. Coupled with his Taoist robe, slightly melancholic demeanor, and unsmiling expression, he exuded a quintessential ascetic style.

Lu Mingfei might not know about others, but he absolutely had to know about Zhang Lingyu. Among the younger generation, only two people could use thunder magic, and they were basically the designated successors to the Celestial Master.

He has a better chance of becoming a Celestial Master than Zhang Chulan.

Although I don't know why it's a black palm thunder, I always feel it's cooler than the white one.

Regardless of appearance or temperament, Zhang Lingyu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the Celestial Master.

This was Lu Mingfei's assessment after meeting the Celestial Master and Zhang Lingyu.

I can't help but silently mourn for Zhang Chulan for three seconds.

"Benefactor Lu, are you here to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?" Zhang Lingyu asked casually.

"Yes, I'm here to... join in the fun, and try to get to know the circle of people my age who are considered 'superhumans'." Lu Mingfei swallowed the rest of his words.

After all, it's incredibly impolite to discuss cheating in front of someone's doorstep.

He had only met a few extraordinary people of his age, none more than the top leader, and he wanted to take this opportunity to see them for himself.

"Please be careful, Benefactor Lu. The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is a martial arts tournament. Fists and kicks have no eyes, so you must stop when you've made your move. Do not act rashly," Zhang Lingyu advised.

"Okay," Lu Mingfei replied, then, after a moment's thought, casually asked...

"How does Master Zhang's strength compare to the Four Madmen of Quanxing?"

Zhang Lingyu's gentle expression changed almost imperceptibly as he humbly replied, "Lingyu has cultivated for many years, but is merely a junior, and I am ashamed to say that I am inferior to the Four Madmen."

Lu Mingfei was relieved. His current strength should be roughly the same as the Four Madmen. If Zhang Lingyu couldn't beat the Four Madmen, that is, couldn't beat him, he could eliminate the opponent when they met, thus maximizing Zhang Chulan's advancement.

If all else fails, there's always Feng Baobao. Although I don't know her strength, judging from how easily she defeated me, she probably wouldn't have a problem beating Zhang Lingyu.

Double insurance, for greater security.

Unless they are extremely unlucky enough to run into each other.

"Master Wang, how have you been?" Zhang Lingyu turned to Wang Ye.

"Sigh, I've been feeling a bit down lately. Thank you for your concern, Master Lingyu," Wang Ye replied.

With a creak, Zhang Chulan walked out of the old master's room, his head down and his expression somewhat worried.

"Benefactor Lu, Daoist Wang, I have guests to entertain, so please excuse me." Zhang Lingyu glanced back at Zhang Chulan, politely bid farewell to Lu Mingfei and Wang Ye, and left without looking back, seemingly with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Alright then, I have to head over now, or there won't be a cool place to take a nap later." Wang Ye also said goodbye to Lu Mingfei and headed towards the back mountain.

"How's it going, Lao Zhang? Any news about your grandfather?" Lu Mingfei asked with concern.

“There are some things. My grandfather’s name wasn’t Zhang Xilin, it was Zhang Huaiyi. He was the old Celestial Master’s junior brother. As for what happened after that, I’ll only know when I inherit the position of Celestial Master,” Zhang Chulan said with a hint of doubt.

The more he investigated what happened to his grandfather, the more he felt that there were more and more things involved, and he had the illusion that he was gradually walking into a storm.

No, because of the Qi Source Flow, he was already in the storm, but he couldn't feel much of it because he was protected by the powerful Na Du Tong Company.

Once this giant Buddha statue disappears, it will be torn to pieces by the storm.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel horrified.

What exactly did his grandfather do back then to cause such a frenzy in the entire world of supernatural beings?

“Then inherit the position of Celestial Master. Bao’er and I will help you pave the way.” After learning that he could defeat Zhang Lingyu, Lu Mingfei felt a little proud and a bit arrogant.

"However, Lao Zhang," Lu Mingfei approached the somewhat dejected Zhang Chulan and offered words of comfort in his kind tone.

“Your grandfather’s recent events all happened more than ten years ago. If we were to investigate further back, we would have to investigate things from decades ago. With such a long time span, it certainly can’t be investigated overnight. I believe that with your abilities and intelligence, you will definitely be able to investigate it gradually.”

"Thank you." Zhang Chulan felt much better.

Just as Lu Mingfei said, it happened decades ago. Those who experienced those events are either dead or too old to be investigated overnight.

Wait a minute... People from decades ago, those who have survived are all old now!

In other words, those elderly people who are about the same age and have similar abilities as their grandfathers are the most likely to know the truth about what happened back then!

"Holy crap!" Zhang Chulan exclaimed.

"Old Lu, you're amazing! How come I didn't think of that?"

"However, aren't all those older ones incredibly capable?"

Zhang Chulan hesitated once again.

Chapter 32 The Scene (Please continue reading)

"Those older people?" The first thing that came to Lu Mingfei's mind was the appearance of the old Celestial Master, followed by Lu Jin who took out the Tongtian Talisman.

"You're not planning to cause trouble for those old Dengs, are you?"

Zhang Chulan shrugged helplessly and sighed softly:

"This is the only way out. My grandfather killed many of the people who experienced those things back then, and the rest have either gone into hiding and are difficult to investigate, or they are too powerful. With my current strength, I would just be sending myself to my death."

"Wow, is your grandpa that powerful?" Lu Mingfei looked Zhang Chulan over again, confirming that he could only read a few words on Zhang Chulan's face: "easy win dog".

"Is it possible that your current situation was caused by your grandfather? After all, your grandfather single-handedly fought dozens of people and killed so many veteran superhumans, which indirectly demonstrates the power of the Qi Body Source Flow. So they set their sights on you, the inheritor of the Qi Body Source Flow."

Zhang Chulan had to agree with Lu Mingfei's point of view, "Who told me to have a grandfather who's such a pain in the ass?"

I've seen plenty of people who screw over their grandfathers, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone screw over their grandson. It's truly an eye-opener for me.

Lu Mingfei said in a very serious tone:

"However, your idea may not be so easy to realize. After all, beating an elderly person is not only immoral, but also shameful. Especially if you are beaten by an elderly person and they kill you in return, you will not only lose face, but also face death."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and realized that as the apparent inheritor of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Zhang Chulan would likely be courted by other inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, both openly and secretly.

“Beating up an old man? What are you thinking? It’s good enough that they’re not bothering me about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but they’re actively seeking me out…” Zhang Chulan stopped mid-sentence, as if the pause button had been pressed.

He stared blankly at Lu Mingfei with his dark eyes, then suddenly touched his chin and carefully examined Lu Mingfei once again.

"Old Lu, you said you'd make me like the Old Celestial Master..." Zhang Chulan thought of the Old Celestial Master's achievements and terrifying strength, and felt that this goal was still too far away.

They immediately switched to a different target.

“Like…” He suddenly realized that he didn’t know many people who were very strong. “Lu Jin, how long would it take for you to become as strong as Lu Jin?”

"I don't know. I've never met Lu Jin, and I don't even know how strong he is," Lu Mingfei replied frankly to Zhang Chulan.

But he immediately noticed Zhang Chulan's gaze.

"Wait a minute... here comes that look, that calm, calculating gaze, like someone starting to weigh every possibility." Lu Mingfei grumbled.

Then continued:

"I'm just an employee. I'm not going to go against those old Dengs. Whether I can beat them or not, there's no benefit to it. If I can beat them, people will say I'm bullying an old hero. If I can't beat them, people will say I'm audacious and overconfident."

Zhang Chulan regained his calm gaze and responded lightly, "I was too impatient. As soon as I arrived here to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, I felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen that would make me uncomfortable."

"I just asked Zhang Lingyu, and he said you were here. You are indeed here. Is the Celestial Master inside?" Xu Si asked as he slowly walked over.

Xu Si and Xu San approached the two side by side, followed by Feng Baobao, who was eating snacks and had a conspicuous red beaded necklace around her neck. Liu Yanyan followed behind Feng Baobao with a somewhat helpless expression.

After receiving Zhang Chulan's affirmation, Xu Si stubbed out the cigarette he had been holding in his mouth, straightened his clothes, and made himself look neater.

"You all go to the back mountain first. We have something to inform the Old Master."

......

The four of them each displayed their unique abilities and successfully passed the initial trial of the "rope bridge" in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Although the process was not elegant, the result was good.

After crossing the "rope bridge," the number of supernatural beings suddenly increased.

At least a hundred extraordinary individuals gathered here, dressed in various attire, scattered across the spacious area, forming small groups of varying sizes.

People dressed in the same clothes gather together, or people who share the same hobby gather together.

They had different topics, but most of them were about the upcoming Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

The only thing they have in common is their age.

They are all young superhumans under the age of thirty, and they are the future pillars of the superhuman world.

The lively atmosphere, resembling an amusement park, caught Lu Mingfei's eye.

Liu Yanyan's eyes lit up the moment she saw so many extraordinary people, and she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"This is the first time I've seen so many extraordinary people. I thought they were all hiding away to cultivate themselves, or that they were learning all sorts of skills and then continuing their ordinary lives."

“Yes,” Lu Mingfei agreed, his thoughts having been voiced.
