Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

"I'm afraid it will affect my battle later, so you two should eat instead."

Lu Mingfei accepted the snacks Liu Yanyan offered without any hesitation.

He was a snack-consuming machine in high school, and he would never refuse a gift from someone, especially since Liu Yanyan owed him fifty-nine meals.

Lu Mingfei tore open the snack packaging and began to eat.

The old master pushed Tian Jinzhong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, towards one of the venues.

"Senior brother, that big-eared thief's grandson is quite good-looking. He already has a girlfriend, and judging from his lower body strength, he's not very strong. His lightning magic shouldn't be very powerful either. Will he be able to..." Tian Jinzhong asked, looking at Lu Mingfei, who was keeping pace with Liu Yanyan.

The old master turned his wheelchair, turning it from Lu Mingfei's direction towards Zhang Chulan.

“That one was just an ordinary employee of NaDuTong; this is the grandson of that brat Big Ear Thief.”

Tian Jinzhong jokingly complained:

"Senior, shouldn't you get some glasses?"

"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll throw you off the field," the old master replied unhappily.

Tian Jinzhong chuckled:

"Haha, Junior Brother, I was just concerned about your health. Let me take a look. Zhang Chulan is actually more handsome than his grandfather. I didn't expect Big Ears to have such a good-looking grandson. Hmm... Senior Brother, Zhang Chulan has had a tough time this time. There's Zhuge Qing, a descendant of the Wuhou School, and Jia Zhengliang, the artifact master from Jia Family Village."

The old master sighed softly.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Although Xu Si sent me a message, I'm still not sure. Although you can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket, these two employees who seem to know everything look more and more unreliable than the other."

The old master once again turned the wheelchair toward Lu Mingfei.

"Especially this employee of NaDuTong who has a girlfriend, look at him, he looks like he could be pushed over at any moment, he looks like a weakling. I suspect that NaDuTong just forced him into this job and randomly picked someone."

"Let me see how things go first, after all..." The old master didn't continue speaking, but instead pushed Tian Jinzhong into the place that Lu Mingfei was heading to.

Based on his notebook and the list of participants, Lu Mingfei determined that Zhuge Qing, one of Zhang Chulan's biggest rivals, would be in the first round.

This is a good opportunity for him to observe Zhuge Qing closely.

Upon arriving at the high platform of the venue, I had just sat down when I discovered that the huge venue was filled with young and beautiful girls, who seemed to be holding up shiny signs that read something.

Signs supporting Zhuge Qing, such as "I will love Qing for life," are displayed.

Even the old Celestial Master was quietly observing everything on the field from a relatively secluded spot.

Three strange people with different appearances and body types appeared first, and the scene was silent.

When Zhuge Qing appeared, the cheers and screams from the girls on the field grew louder and louder, so loud that even Lu Mingfei, who was far away, couldn't help but pick his ears.

"Pretty boys are always popular with girls." Lu Mingfei stuffed a potato chip into his mouth and chewed it fiercely, wishing he were chewing on Zhuge Qing's flesh, and said jealously.

Being so popular with so many girls is something most boys have ever imagined, and Zhuge Qing has achieved it so easily, making Lu Mingfei envious.

"Tch, what's so good about a pretty boy?" Liu Yanyan said discontentedly. "Look at his eyes, they squint like a fox's. He's definitely not a good person. Why is he called Zhuge Qing? He should be called Zhuge Fox."

She crushed the bag of snacks in her hand with one hand and angrily stuffed it into Lu Mingfei's arms.

“It’s all broken,” Lu Mingfei said to Liu Yanyan, pointing to the snacks that were completely shattered.

"Just eat it, it's not like you can't eat it even if it's broken!" Liu Yanyan said reproachfully.

"Okay, fine." Lu Mingfei reluctantly took it and then put it aside.

With the referee's signal, the battle began.

The other three male superhumans exchanged a knowing glance and launched a coordinated attack on Zhuge Qing.

"Being handsome means you have to get beaten up," one of them shouted.

Zhuge Qing dodged left and right amidst the three's attacks, easily avoiding their pincer movement and even managing to outmaneuver the others.

"Strange, what kind of ability is this? Is it some kind of esoteric magic?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.

"That's right, Benefactor Lu also has some knowledge of Qimen Dunjia?" A lazy voice sounded from behind Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei turned around following the sound and saw a Taoist priest in a dark robe. He noticed that Wang Ye was watching Zhuge Qing with great interest, so he asked.

"I don't know, is Master Wang also a fan of Zhuge Qing?"

"Huh? How could I, a Taoist priest, be someone's fan?" Wang Ye immediately denied it.

He noticed out of the corner of his eye the small notebook in Lu Mingfei's hand with Zhuge Qing's name written on it.

This guy hasn't forgotten about the thugs.

He wouldn't still be up there, would he?

Wang didn't seem to care and said, "Zhuge Qing uses the Wuhou Qimen method, which uses another person as the center to determine the direction. He then moves within that predetermined direction to find the enemy's location and methods to counter them, and then defeats them..."

Even after Wang Ye's explanation, Lu Mingfei only had a vague understanding. These mysterious and profound things were not easy to comprehend.

Lu Mingfei went straight to the point and asked, "Is there any way... to defeat Zhuge Qing?"

Wang Ye replied:

"There are two methods. The first is to cover it with a stronger Qimen, but Zhuge Qing's is Wuhou Qimen. It's difficult to find a Qimen stronger than Zhuge Qing's."

"The second method, which is also the simplest and the most difficult, is to use brute force to overcome all techniques. Once you reach a very high level, all the strange arts are nothing compared to it."

Lu Mingfei silently kept it in mind.

He doesn't have the first option, but perhaps we can try the second one.

In the brief moment of their conversation, Zhuge Qing had already taken advantage of the gaps in his movement to defeat the other three and win the victory.

“Benefactor Lu, although this is a martial arts competition, as long as you concede in time, you won’t be seriously injured. It’s my turn now, we’ll talk later.” Wang Ye instructed again before leaving the arena.

The next battle is against Zhang Lingyu.

As a high-ranking priest of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Zhang Lingyu easily defeated the three men with his skillful use of the Golden Light Mantra, and his ability to transform Qi into form was even more consummate.

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up the moment he saw Zhang Lingyu use the Golden Light Spell.

Although he can usually conjure the Golden Light Mantra into various shapes, he mostly uses it to turn off the lights or grab comics. When fighting Feng Baobao, he mostly uses it to defend against her attacks.

Most of the time it was used to increase the quality of the Golden Light Mantra to enhance defense, but I never expected it could also be transformed into various shapes for attack and defense.

This action instantly opened up Lu Mingfei's mind.

Just as I was about to try out the Golden Light Mantra's transformation technique that I had just learned, I was notified that I had to go into battle.

They had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​trying it from the sidelines.

"Mingfei, be careful." Liu Yanyan grasped Lu Mingfei's hand and whispered her advice.

"Hehehe, I'm Lu Mingfei, and I'm pretty strong." Lu Mingfei said smugly in front of Liu Yanyan.

Chapter 36 What does your search for Zhang Chulan have to do with me, Lu Mingfei? (Please continue reading)

"You're getting cocky with me now. You're all smiles now that you've been given a little encouragement..." Liu Yanyan said discontentedly.

"If I didn't shine, I would be letting down the sunshine you gave me," Lu Mingfei said.

"Don't get too cocky. The extraordinary people who can participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony are definitely not ordinary. Their combat experience is many times greater than yours. If you can avoid their sharp edge, then avoid it. Anyway, with Sister Bao'er whose strength is unfathomable, we're just here to make up the numbers," Liu Yanyan said with some concern.

After speaking, Liu Yanyan felt that there were still some things she had forgotten to say.

Words that are on the tip of your tongue will eventually come down to just one sentence.

"I'm waiting for you to win."

Lu Mingfei arrived at the departure stand under Liu Yanyan's tender gaze.

He walked from the sun-drenched open-air stands into the cramped, dark preparation room.

I looked nervously at the battleground on the huge field.

The gazes of the extraordinary individuals in the stands were focused there. They anticipated a fierce battle, to witness diverse powers, to see the different abilities of these extraordinary individuals, and to see the legendary young talents...

In short, the battleground was the focus of the curious, ardent, or expectant gazes of the outsiders.

They would use this gaze to comment on the superhumans who went into battle, turning it into fodder for their conversations.

Lu Mingfei sat in the preparation room, quietly waiting for the moment when the referee would call out his name.

As the people around him gradually left, he felt the pressure on his heart gradually increase.

They were about to stand on the battleground, the focus of everyone's attention, and demonstrate their strength and abilities under the watchful eyes of the various superhumans in the stands.

He felt nervous; this was the first time he had demonstrated his abilities in front of so many people.

Although this ability was not acquired through legitimate means.

I couldn't help but swallow.

Can he really do it?

What if I don't perform well...?

Lu Mingfei's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts. Even before the battle began, he already felt a certain reluctance to fight under the watchful eyes of many supernatural beings.

"Lu Mingfei." The referee's booming voice pierced through the layers of wooden planks and reached the preparation room.

He stood up, but his legs trembled slightly, and his heart pounded.

Doing something I've never done before, especially in front of a large audience, filled me with a flurry of thoughts and a sudden feeling of anxiety.

What should I do if I can't do it well?

What will others think of him?

"What's wrong with me? Is it fear?"

Despite the slight tremor in his legs, Lu Mingfei obediently stepped into the shadows at the entrance of the arena, watching the three people standing not far away.

Light footsteps approached, and a lazy voice rang out again, but it didn't seem out of place at all.

“Don’t put so much pressure on yourself, Master Lu. It’s nothing. It’s just a fight. There are still several more fights to be fought later…” Wang Ye patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.

Wang Ye's languid voice effectively relieved Lu Mingfei's anxiety.

"Master Wang, are you finished?"

"Sigh, that's all for now. I need to catch up on my sleep." Wang Ye yawned, casually swung his loose Taoist robe, hummed a cheerful tune, and left the entrance of the arena.

Wang Ye's inherent languor soothed the turmoil in Lu Mingfei's mind and his somewhat anxious feelings.
