Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

If we're lucky, it'll be tomorrow; if we're unlucky, it'll take another month.

It's just a bit of a pity that he won't get to enjoy these delicacies in Tiandou City.

To make it realistic, he didn't even bring his storage soul tool. He only had two copper soul coins in his pocket to buy steamed buns to fill his stomach. He even had to leave the city at night. That's what you call a professional actor.

On a bright and sunny morning, as everything came to life, a young couple with upright figures walked out of the hotel on the commercial street.

"Tianheng, what are you thinking about?"

Dugu Yan walked out of the team hotel with Yu Tianheng's arm around her. The other teammates had their own plans and started to act after breakfast. The two of them dawdled and were the last to come out.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about Lu Mingfei, where is he now?" Yu Tianheng shook his head.

"Why would we care about him? We don't need to worry about him." Dugu Yan curled her lips. "That Lu Mingfei is so cunning and treacherous, he's definitely alive and well."

Having been classmates for two years, they were quite understanding of Lu Mingfei's sudden departure. Lu Mingfei didn't have a background like theirs, and he probably felt quite uncomfortable in the academy. Xue Qinghe and the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were even getting on their nerves.

But leaving without a word still made them feel a little uneasy.

"Don't think about these things. We agreed last night that you would come home with me today. You can't go back on your word. My grandpa might be here too," Dugu Yan said coquettishly.

"I know, Yan Yan," Yu Tianheng said affectionately, stroking Dugu Yan's hair.

"They're an old married couple, yet they're still so lovey-dovey." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sneer as he lay on the balcony of a deserted house. This was the third weekend he had spent staking out this balcony, and every time he saw the young couple being all lovey-dovey.

Tian Dou City has many houses, but he has a lot of other things. He wandered around for several days and found this house that was uninhabited. From the balcony, he could see the general situation of the Dugu Mansion in the distance.

There is no limit to human depravity. From preparing to commit a crime to illegally breaking into someone else's home, his rate of progress is simply too fast.

However, just as Lu Mingfei finished complaining, a figure that even the Golden Eyes had difficulty catching fell into the Dugu Mansion from high above.

"finally!"

Lu Mingfei clenched his fist, quickly put away his Golden Eyes, and lay motionless on the chair, pretending to sleep.

He didn't want to gamble on how terrifying a Title Douluo's intuition was. If he discovered that Dugu Bo was rushing this way, he would immediately switch to escape mode.

Fifteen minutes passed without anything happening, so Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, strolled onto the balcony, locked the doors and windows, and leisurely returned to the city via the same route.

After waiting for almost two months, the time has finally come for the plan to be officially implemented.

After leaving the gates of Tiandou City, Lu Mingfei went into a shady forest and dug out his soul tool. He immediately activated his martial soul, soared into the sky, and headed straight for Sunset Forest.

It was still that land of death. Lu Mingfei stood high in the sky, his golden eyes scanning the pale purple poisonous gas below.

Compared to the ground, the thickness of toxic gas at high altitudes is significantly thinner, by several hundred meters.

Word of Power: Eye of the Wind King.

The high pressure in the atmosphere is like an invisible wall falling from the sky.

A high-pitched chant, or perhaps a roar commanding the world, emanated from Lu Mingfei's throat. The domain of the Eye of the Wind King rapidly expanded, and a violent whirlwind began to swirl and condense around Lu Mingfei's body.

He stood motionless in the eye of the storm, his black body and wings forming a sacred cross, like a god from the heavens, about to descend upon the earth with the storm.

Gradually, his black figure disappeared into the center of the hurricane, as the wind speed reached its maximum, even blurring and distorting the light.

The nearby thousand-year-old soul beasts lowered their bodies and prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing their heads in the direction of the hurricane. In that hurricane, which was as powerful as the heavens, came the most distant fear from the depths of their genes.

The god threw out his spear and chanted his name, and from then on, only death awaited him throughout the nine realms.

The spear of the storm descends here.

Lu Mingfei's figure instantly disappeared into the purple mist, and in just a moment, he pinpointed the location he was looking for.

In that misty valley, all the fog had been blown away by the storm, revealing a pool of hot springs with distinct blue and red hues.

"Holy crap, a hot pot with two broths? Is it spicy or tomato-based?" Lu Mingfei blurted out involuntarily.

Everything before his eyes was so unscientific; he had wasted his high school physics studies, and even the second law of thermodynamics had been overturned.

"Brother, you really have absolutely no romantic sense." Lu Mingze suddenly appeared beside the spring, shaking his head with a smile. "What time is it, and you're still thinking about hot pot? As for physics, aren't you even more unscientific?"

"Stop showing off, time is limited, time is limited, like with a stopwatch." Lu Mingfei urged guiltily. They were now someone else's Jerry, the kind who would be despised if they were beaten to death and dumped on the street, the kind whose bodies would be left unclaimed.

Moreover, his Eye of the Wind King can only last for a minute at most, otherwise he will still be unable to escape death.

"Relax, brother, save your energy. I forgot to tell you, this little bit of poison is nothing to you." Lu Mingze shrugged, giving him a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. After all that, he thought it was some kind of hellish difficulty dungeon, but now he's being told it's easy mode.

What good will it do you to play me?

Chapter 79 Dragon King Fossil

“Of course, as an uninvited guest, shouldn’t I bring a gift when waking up the host? If we don’t have a wreath, fireworks will do.” Lu Mingze tilted his head and smiled mysteriously, his golden eyes holding a meaningful glint.

"What the hell?" Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he grimaced and took several steps back, looking left and right. What did it mean to wake up the host to send fireworks? Wasn't Dugu Bo not at home?

"I'm not talking about that little snake, brother. You don't need to look like you're doing something wrong. We're a legitimate organization visiting, the kind that has a written note."

Lu Mingze clapped his hands, speaking with absolute confidence.

"Brother, what kind of note did you hand over? This isn't the time for Ah Q mentality, be serious!" Lu Mingfei felt a toothache; the guy in front of him was clearly deceiving himself and had gone mad.

Even when they're being silly, they have to consider the situation. What time is it? If Dugu Bo notices something's wrong and comes back, they'll have no choice but to flee for their lives.

"I've been very serious all along. It's you who's being silly, brother." Lu Mingze smiled and shook his head. "The true masters of this land welcome our arrival."

"The real master?" Lu Mingfei's heart suddenly skipped a beat. If Dugu Bo didn't count as the master, then who could?

As if to confirm Lu Mingze's words, the springs of ice and fire suddenly boiled simultaneously, and in Lu Mingfei's golden eyes, the entire field of vision was suddenly submerged by the elements of water and fire.

The void seemed to have cracked open with vein-like patterns, and there really was blood flowing inside, except that the blood was all liquid elements.

Two supreme forces rose from the ground, surrounded by elements. The elements of water and fire played an inexplicable melody, magnificent, powerful, profound, and timeless.

"Even after hundreds of thousands of years since their fall, their power is still etched deep within this world. Brother, this is a moment worth commemorating—the final awakening of the two Dragon Kings." Lu Mingze smiled as he looked at the scene before him.

Lu Mingfei felt nothing but utter utter rage; he had already discerned the identity of the master that Lu Mingze had mentioned.

"This is truly unbelievable."

As soon as he finished speaking, two phantom figures leaped out of the spring, seemingly solidifying under the influence of elements.

They spread their wings, and their roars, spanning hundreds of thousands of years, echoed through the void. Unparalleled holiness and majesty filled every inch of space, and the outer poison array melted away instantly like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

The ancient mythical dragons revealed their true forms at this moment. The Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King awoke from the chaos of ignorance after hundreds of thousands of years and opened their eyes once more.

"I don't know how many years have passed, but in these final moments of my confused and delirious soul, I can still see dragons that do not belong to this realm." The Fire Dragon King opened his eyes and looked at this land. Everything had changed, and the world had turned upside down. They could no longer feel even a trace of the power of the Dragon God's Law. The fate of the Dragon God Realm was predictable.

"This is fate." The Water Dragon King sighed gently, then looked at Lu Mingfei in front of him: "Thank you, my unknown kin, for allowing us to take one last clear look at this world."

"No, you're welcome." Lu Mingfei hurriedly waved his hand, and the two dragon souls, each over ten meters tall, thanked him, almost scaring him to death!

"I already know why you've come. Do whatever you want. We have nothing left to hold on to." The Fire Dragon King looked at the Water Dragon King one last time. The two dragons embraced each other, and the remnants of their divine souls, which had persisted for hundreds of thousands of years, finally returned to nothingness and ceased to exist.

The water and fire elements in the world also vanished with a roar. If it weren't for the purified poisonous fog, it would have been as if nothing had ever happened here.

"This, this is it?" Lu Mingfei felt like he had watched a censored version of a movie. Although he liked to fast forward, this incomplete ending just felt a bit off.

"What else does brother want to see? A zombie apocalypse? These are two dragon kings of noble status, dead for hundreds of thousands of years, long since fossilized." Lu Mingze shrugged: "I'm already doing pretty well to be able to wake them up at the last minute."

Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head: "Let's forget about the zombie coming back to life."

If such a terrifying dragon were to be resurrected, humanity in this world would likely be doomed. He is still on humanity's side; these creatures are better off dying and being reincarnated as soon as possible.

"That's right. Alright, now it's time to get down to business." Lu Mingze stretched his limbs, looking eager and ready to get started.

"Yeah, where's the artifact you were talking about?" Lu Mingfei perked up. They had been permitted by the original owner, so this time it wasn't considered burglary.

“Divine artifacts will come. Although their power and influence have been lost over hundreds of thousands of years, some of it has remained, making it excellent material for forging divine artifacts. The hot pot in front of us is just a manifestation of the outflow of their power,” Lu Mingze said with a smile.

Lu Mingfei groaned, "I have to refine it myself?"

Looking at the Ice and Fire Spring before him, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like he had been tricked. How could a spring be used to forge a divine artifact? Did he expect him to take the whole pot? But this thing wasn't a real pot, how could he possibly lift it?

"Brother, you underestimate me. The hot pot isn't important; what matters is the power and influence in their very blood. I told you I would help you solve the problem of the divine artifact. You have to trust the devil's credibility. Just leave the rest to me."

Lu Mingze chuckled and clapped his hands, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently.

"Damn, this is too much noise!" Lu Mingfei quickly took to the air. He originally thought the other party could only trade souls and act cute, but who knew they had such a fierce side.

Lu Mingze's lava-colored golden eyes burst forth with dazzling light, as if the entire world was engulfed by this golden radiance.

Lu Mingfei only saw the void box open, revealing two enormous dragon-shaped skeletons, which then vanished in an instant.

"A magical transformation! You have this trick up your sleeve?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. This pull and release was even more amazing than Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket.

"All done, brother. Your artifact is on its way via Hell Express. The forging and delivery will take some time, so please be patient." Lu Mingze snapped his fingers and turned to make a quick getaway.

However, Lu Mingfei wasn't so easily fooled and grabbed his shoulder directly.

"You've never run this fast before, kid. Are you feeling guilty and trying to steal my stuff?"

"How could that be? Brother, you're overthinking it. Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Lu Mingze denied it outright.

"If you're not me, then who are you?" Lu Mingfei sneered. "I did the hard work, so even if I didn't get any credit, I still put in the effort. You should at least give me half of what I deserve, right?"

He no longer craves any magical artifacts. This little devil has never told the truth from beginning to end, but he's been busy doing all this work, so he can't just let him work for nothing, can he?

Chapter 80 The Sacred Dragon?

"Relax, we devils are the most trustworthy. Oh, right, I remembered I have some extra materials here. How about I make a sample for you, brother?" Lu Mingze continued to smile, taking out two red and blue gems from his pocket.

"So if I hadn't mentioned it, you were planning to just cover it up and lock them up, right?" Lu Mingfei pointed to the other person's heart and questioned.

This little devil definitely intended to get something for nothing from the start! Even someone like Lu has his pride, okay?

"Alright, alright, brother, stop acting. If you're so petty, I might not look for you next time I need to do business." Lu Mingze pouted and held out his palm.

"If you're going to make customers work for free, then I should be the one giving them a bad review, okay?" Lu Mingfei sneered and snatched the gem from Lu Mingze's hand.

Two perfectly round gemstones, with a delicate touch, emit a soft, shimmering glow.

"How do you use this thing? Is it some kind of marble?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.

"This is a small part of the original essence of the two great dragon king fossils. As for how to use it..." Lu Mingze paused, then revealed a sycophantic smile and said, "Just apply it externally. Which do you want, brother, to make your arm as strong as a unicorn or your leg as powerful as a wind god?"

Can I have them all?

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up. He had just seen it all. There couldn't possibly be only these two small beads left from two such large fossils. Maybe he could get a few more from the little devil.

"Of course... no way! Brother, who's the devil here?" Lu Mingze sneered and took the bead back from Lu Mingfei's hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, just kidding." Lu Mingfei quickly reached out to grab it; he hadn't expected the little devil to react so strongly.

Even though he had transformed into a dragon, Lu Mingfei couldn't touch the little devil's clothes at all.

I don't know when, but I couldn't even see the other car's taillights anymore.

"Damn it, I should have known when to quit while I was ahead. Now I've really messed up." Lu Mingfei rubbed his forehead. It seemed that because of his sharp tongue, he had even lost his basic salary.

“Brother, it’s good that you know. Remember this lesson next time. You can make a deal with the devil, but don’t try to push your luck.” Lu Mingze’s voice suddenly came from behind: “Since you can’t choose, then I will choose for you.”

Before Lu Mingfei could turn around, a sharp pain comparable to an injection suddenly shot through his back. He couldn't help but stagger forward, followed by an unparalleled burning and freezing sensation that erupted simultaneously from the wings on his back.

The intense, tingling sensation of ice and fire instantly sent shivers down his spine, causing him to scream involuntarily.

"This is deliberate retaliation! I...I'm going to file a complaint!" Lu Mingfei was in so much pain that he could barely speak.

"The Hell Hotline is not yet connected in this world, so your complaint is invalid. We only accept complaints in person. You can tell me, and I will relay it to you in person." Lu Mingze chuckled heartlessly, patted his behind, and left completely.

"It's all a cover-up!"

Lu Mingfei stared wide-eyed, seething with hatred, but could only watch as the other person's figure completely disappeared.

Fortunately, after a short while, the soreness finally subsided, and he was finally able to straighten up, pound his back a few times, and catch his breath.

He glanced around with lingering fear. Apart from the ice and fire hot spring in front of him, which seemed a little dimmer, and the fact that a few flowers and plants in the nearby flowerbeds had been damaged by falling rocks during the earthquake, there were no other changes.

"Sorry, sorry."

After apologizing to the unfortunate flowers and plants, Lu Mingfei, ignoring the faint soreness in the membrane wings on his back, used the Eye of the Wind King to clean up the traces he had left behind and quickly left the place.

Although I was tricked by Lu Mingze, the most important thing now is to get out of there as soon as possible.

As for the exact function of these ice and fire wings, he still needs to find time to test them out.

After dark, Dugu Bo escorted Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng back to the Royal Academy, and then returned to Sunset Forest.
