Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Normally, he would only activate the minimum level of Golden Eyes at the start, but today he put in a little more effort as a greeting gift for the Crown Prince of Xingluo. "Middle school student, focus on your cultivation, what are you talking about, dating?!"

Davis knew that if Lu Mingfei had suddenly attacked the moment the mental pressure was unleashed, he would probably have been instantly killed. So without hesitation, he immediately went all out to respond, and his first spirit ring lit up instantly: "First Spirit Skill, White Tiger Protective Shield".

At the same time, Lu Mingfei disappeared from his spot, but instead of using swordsmanship, he kicked Davis directly in the chest.

Davis took a deep breath and did not intend to dodge, but rather prepared to take the kick head-on and then quickly suppress his opponent in close combat.

He would have been more cautious if the attack was imbued with soul power. He had read Lu Mingfei's analysis and found that the opponent's biggest weakness in close combat was usually attrition through swordsmanship. But for some reason, he chose to start with hand-to-hand combat today.

However, when he heard a muffled thud in his chest, he suddenly felt something was wrong. It was too light, only at the level of an ordinary Great Soul Master. But could Lu Mingfei be that ordinary?

As expected, Lu Mingfei immediately dodged the tiger's claws that were trying to restrain him, leaped into the air, and came behind Davis. With a backhand slash, he thrust straight into Davis's back while still in mid-air.

Do you really think he just stomped on weak opponents in all those matches at the Grand Arena?

Defensive Soul Masters are always very confident in their ability to withstand damage, and their favorite tactic is to fight head-on. The Soul Skill configuration of the Star Luo White Tiger Martial Soul clearly indicates that it is a tank warrior.

Lu Mingfei lured the enemy in slightly, and Davis took the bait. Now he was using all his strength to lunge forward and grab, leaving his back wide open.

However, it's not easy to use leverage when attacking in mid-air. The White Tiger Protective Barrier provides all-around defense, and Davis, with his keen combat instincts, didn't pull back or turn around but instead rolled forward, barely dodging the attack.

But this inevitably left him looking disheveled; he almost suffered a setback on his very first move.

"That was beautiful." Although Lu Mingfei's attack failed, everyone on the field felt a pleasing aesthetic of combat, a display of effortless skill.

Despite being reduced to a crouching tiger, Davis did not lose heart and immediately organized a counterattack. It was the rage of the king of beasts, and the illusory tiger claws instantly turned and swung down at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei channeled his soul power to cover the sword, unleashing a Kasaya Slash that met Davis's tiger claw. The condensed soul power collided, producing a dull sound like metal clashing with stone.

Davis never imagined that his powerful level 29 soul power would be blocked by level 22 soul power.

In Lu Mingfei's hands, that fire poker seemed to become the hardest shield in the world. Even among defensive soul masters of the same level 29, few could withstand the continuous strikes of his tiger claws.

"Damn, that power is no joke." Lu Mingfei kept adjusting his attack angle and thought to himself. After all, Davis had several levels more soul power. His strength was actually above Yu Tianheng's normal level. However, without the lightning enchantment of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, it was actually easier to deal with.

However, Davis found it hard to accept that after using his first soul skill in a fair and square power duel, he had not gained the upper hand.

Fueled by rage, the tiger's claws became even more ferocious, its terrifying, tidal wave of fury crashing down on Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the other party, but he didn't pay attention to it. He pressed one hand on the back of the blade and used a powerful slash like splitting a mountain, accompanied by a sharp whistling wind, to break through the tsunami waves in front of him.

The two sides engaged in a fierce head-on clash. Lu Mingfei wielded his sword with both hands, directly confronting the tiger's claws. As his soul power circulated, the light in his golden eyes grew increasingly intense.

Davis immediately felt an increasingly heavy, oppressive pressure descend upon him, a pressure emanating from his soul and body. He felt as if he were facing a colossal mountain that could crush him at any moment.

Everyone outside the arena felt the increasingly heavy aura of authority. Those who knew him well understood that it was Lu Mingfei's first soul skill unleashed. Under this stalemate, Lu Mingfei's mental pressure was enough to turn the last straw that broke the balance into a catastrophe.

Do not!

Davis roared inwardly, the immense pressure making it seem as if all he could see was a golden world. He struggled in the golden swamp, completely unable to extricate himself.

He seemed to be really going to lose, but how could the prince of the Star Luo Empire, the future Star Luo Emperor, agree to that?

"Roar!" A tiger's roar suddenly erupted in the arena, instantly shattering the fragile balance. Lu Mingfei, holding his sword, was immediately forced back several steps.

Before him, Davis's soul power surged, his golden hair flew, and a completely different soul power aura gathered around him.

"Davis has broken through!" Zhu Zhuyun in the audience exclaimed softly.

Ning Rongrong, who was sitting in her seat, suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. A quasi-Soul Master is still a Soul Master. Even without Soul Skills, the level of Soul Power condensation alone is a cut above that of a Great Soul Master. The original gap in Soul Power between the two sides has now been widened even further!

Neither of them spoke, but they exchanged a glance. Davis's eyes shone with fierce fighting spirit, while Lu Mingfei's golden eyes shone as brightly as the sun.

Round two officially begins!

Chapter 60 The End of the Battle

Holy crap! What the heck is "breakthrough in the heat of battle"?

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Am I some kind of villain who's just giving away experience points? This joke is a bit too much, isn't it?"

“I should thank you. You actually figured it out just now, didn’t you?” Davis said in a deep voice, his expression serious. He no longer looked down on Lu Mingfei; beneath that cowardly exterior lay a monstrous arrogance.

Because he didn't take her seriously, he didn't care about her image at all. After all, the barking of the weak is just a joke to the strong.

Even though he has now broken through, he can still feel the unfathomable strength of Lu Mingfei on the other side. After all, the other side has always seemed to have victory in his grasp.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. I was just trying to act more, okay? But who knew you had so many scenes?" Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly. If he had known he was going to pull this stunt, he would have just gone straight for Jun Yan and ended it with a wave of energy.

The difference in the aftereffects of defeating a Grand Soul Master and defeating a Quasi-Soul Venerable is enormous.

"Come on, I should be enough to make you take this seriously now!" Davis roared and lunged forward again. As his feet exploded, tiny cracks appeared on the ground.

Lu Mingfei raised his sword with both hands and immediately felt an even stronger force coming at him.

If Davis's power was only equivalent to 1.2 Yu Tianhengs just now, it is now equivalent to 1.5 Yu Tianhengs.

Moreover, because his first soul skill was still active, Lu Mingfei's normal slashes were unlikely to cause any effective damage to him; on the contrary, his tiger's mouth felt slightly numb.

"No, I can't keep up this fight any longer." With a thought, Lu Mingfei took advantage of the tiger's claw attack and used the force to retreat and create distance.

This scene made the audience realize that Lu Mingfei's strength was clearly no longer enough to directly resist Davis.

"Dad, why aren't they done yet? The other side is already at the Quasi-Soul Master level. It's too unfair to keep fighting like this!" Ning Rongrong said with some concern.

“Rongrong, this was never a fair fight from the beginning. Lu Mingfei didn’t even say anything. You should trust him.” Ning Fengzhi patted Ning Rongrong’s head. “Besides, he was only slightly inferior in strength.”

The people present actually have very high standards. Although Davis has gained a power advantage on the surface, it is not enough to defeat Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei also began to change his strategy against the enemy; he was not the kind of brute force like Yu Tianheng.

The next moment, Davis suddenly felt himself being engulfed in a vast, golden ocean.

"What agile movements!" As a member of the Zhu family, who were both agility-type Soul Masters, Lu Mingfei was an expert in this area. His movements were comparable to those of some ordinary agility-type Great Soul Masters.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei was frantically moving around. He couldn't unleash the power to shatter the Tiger's protective barrier, so he had to use his swordsmanship to attack Davis's weak point on the head, forcing Davis to use his tiger claws to defend.

Davis was unsure of Lu Mingfei's plans, but he was already a quasi-Soul Master and almost ten years older than Lu Mingfei. Both his soul power and physical strength were far superior to his opponent's, and he was certain that he would win this defensive tug-of-war.

However, Lu Mingfei was naturally aware of this, but he did not intend to use the conventional harassment tactics of the agility-based attackers; he simply wanted to give himself time to prepare and unleash his secret technique.

Davis suddenly realized that the relentless, rain-like attacks and the golden ocean around him had vanished in an instant, followed by an immense sense of danger that made his heart tremble.

Back!

However, as he covered his head with his arms and turned around as quickly as possible, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes.

What came towards us was a fierce pressure like a high mountain waterfall and a surging crimson-gold light like the rising sun.

“No.” Davis’s pupils constricted, but his body’s response was far less than the feedback from the pain.

Nine-Headed Dragon Flash!

Flirting! Tang Zhu! Kasaya beheads! Reverse cassock! …

Nine sword techniques were unleashed in succession, and blood instantly bloomed on Davis's chest, his tattered shirt being completely torn apart at that moment.

Even the White Tiger Protective Barrier could not withstand such a dense and continuous attack in one place.

"Weiss!" Zhu Zhuyun, his fiancée, couldn't help but exclaim. Anyone could see that if Lu Mingfei had aimed that move at Davis's head, Davis would probably be bleeding from all seven orifices.

However, although Lu Mingfei avoided vital areas, the series of blows was enough to break Davis's ribs, and the smell of blood instantly rushed to his throat.

Even though the excruciating pain brought him back to consciousness and he managed to block a few attacks, he still staggered back dozens of meters, ending up kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state!

"There really is such a shameless martial soul in this world!" It has a mental pressure that ignores level and surpasses all control, an explosive speed comparable to an agility-type martial soul, and a powerful soul force that can fight against a strength-type martial soul in close combat. Such a martial soul is simply invincible in all aspects.

Only now did he realize that the intelligence they had collected was just the tip of the iceberg, and that Lu Mingfei's Golden Eyes possessed terrifying potential that even surpassed the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Should we continue?" Lu Mingfei still wanted to give the other side a chance. If they ended it now, it would only be a draw if word got out, and at least the subsequent impact would be controllable.

However, to Davis, these words were nothing short of a provocation: "The Star Luo White Tiger Clan never surrenders standing up!"

Davis stood up angrily, ripped off the tattered cloth covering his body, revealing massive muscles like those of a powerful figure from a Hong Kong comic book. His blood-soaked chest did not diminish the aura of the king of beasts emanating from his body.

"You have an even stronger second soul skill, right? Then let's see who can fight to the end!"

Damn! It seems like they're all going to suddenly unleash their full power? Isn't that a skill exclusive to the protagonists?

Lu Mingfei even suspected that he was playing the villain, feeling like the other person was about to spout lines at any moment, like something like "You can't kill me, you'll only make me stronger." The more he thought about it, the more disgusted he became. "I gave you a way out, can't you just take it honestly? You're only acting tough because you know I won't kill you, right?"

"As you wish!" Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave." Davis's second soul ring shone brightly, and a strong white light condensed into a sphere in his mouth. A round light bullet was instantly spat out from his mouth.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei's golden eyes turned crimson like lava, and a surging dragon's might, as powerful as a volcano, erupted forth.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a blurred domain instantly unfolded around him. The low, resonant syllables vibrated in the air, yet carried an air of authority that commanded the world.

Behold my Diracium Light Stream!

"boom!"

The fireball and the ball of light collided and exploded in mid-air, and the violent explosion sounded like the roar of a raging dragon in the center of the training ground.

Lu Mingfei blocked the rising dust with both hands. When the smoke cleared and everything settled, Davis's tall figure had been sent flying backward, mouth open and eyes closed, unconscious.

Chapter 61 Slightly Dirty Clothes

"Your Highness!"

"Weiss!"

Zhu Tianxiang rushed to the training ground immediately, followed closely by Zhu Zhuyun. As they checked on Davis's condition, several beams of healing energy also landed on Davis.

Those were the imperial physicians and attendants that Xue Qinghe had prepared in advance, but they were also intimidated by Lu Mingfei's imperial might, so they only came to their senses and made their move now.

Lu Mingfei lightly fanned the dust off the corner of his clothes. Jun Yan was good in every way, except for the daily dust generated by the explosion.

At the same time, Xue Qinghe, Ning Rongrong, and others had also gathered around.

Ning Rongrong circled around Lu Mingfei, and seeing that he was completely unharmed, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Lu Mingfei, you're amazing!"

"It's alright." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head. If he could, he really wouldn't want to be in the limelight.

Ning Rongrong glanced at Davis lying on the ground again, her face showing a hint of excitement: "He's already a quasi-Soul Master, and you're fighting across levels, and by a large level at that."

"Thank you so much, but can't you read the room? Please don't remind me anymore!" Lu Mingfei felt his head was spinning. Saying these things in front of someone, are you afraid they won't get angry?

Fortunately, Xue Qinghe quickly stopped Ning Rong from talking any more. They had already won in terms of substance, and it was time to give the other side some face.

"Brother Lu, are you alright?" Xue Qinghe blinked.

"Injury? Cough cough cough." Lu Mingfei instantly understood, patted his lungs, and coughed a few times quickly.

For the first time, he felt that Xue Qinghe had finally done something decent.

"Imperial Physician," Xue Qinghe called out.

Lu Mingfei was quickly helped off the stage. Fortunately, it was nighttime, but his face was pale no matter where he went.

Ning Rongrong, however, genuinely believed that Lu Mingfei had suffered internal injuries, and quickly followed him downstairs.

Meanwhile, Davis had woken up after receiving treatment. He wasn't seriously injured; he had only been knocked unconscious.

"Weiss, are you alright?"

"Your Highness." Zhu Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief. He used his soul power to check on Davis's condition. After treatment, Davis's chest wound had almost healed, leaving only bloodstains. In addition, he was a little weak due to exhaustion of his soul power.

"It's nothing." Davis waved his hand, stood up, and took out a shirt from his storage soul tool and put it on.

"It's good that Prince Davis is alright." Xue Qinghe said softly from the side, "Tonight's battle was truly evenly matched."

"A draw?" Davis couldn't help but scoff, watching Lu Mingfei's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Despite being eight levels higher in soul power and a whole level lower, he still suffered a complete defeat. He really doesn't deserve that title.

"Your Highness Qinghe, thank you for your hospitality tonight. I am injured and must take my leave now. Please inform His Majesty Xueye that I overestimated myself tonight." Davis clasped his hands in a slight bow, then turned and left with Zhu Zhuyun's support. The loser's words are useless.

Moreover, the emergence of the greatest genius in the world in Tiandou is ultimately a curse for Xingluo. Regardless of whether the Spirit Hall takes any action, Xingluo's future will not be easy once Lu Mingfei grows up.

"Your Highness Qinghe, farewell!" Zhu Tianxiang also bowed and left. His head was even bigger than Davis's. Davis, who was the prospective crown prince, had actually lost. What a huge uproar this would cause within Xingluo.

Xue Qinghe smiled and replied, "Foreign Envoy Zhu, please take your time. Captain Bai will then escort the three distinguished guests back to the embassy on my behalf."

"Yes, sir!" Captain Bai accepted the order and followed behind Zhu Tianxiang and the other two.

Xue Qinghe turned around at this moment and nodded slightly in the direction of Emperor Xue Ye.

Emperor Xueye was naturally overjoyed. For many years, their Heavenly Dou Empire had been suppressed by the Star Luo Empire, and this time they had finally gained face. Moreover, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's handling of the situation today was very appropriate, and his relationship with Lu Mingfei seemed to be quite good, which made him even more satisfied with the Crown Prince.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Ning Fengzhi watched the grand show of the evening come to an end. While he was still shocked by Lu Mingfei's strength, he did not forget to congratulate Emperor Xueye.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Even though Xue Xing had just berated Davis behind his back, she couldn't neglect her public image.
