Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

"I know, so I just want to ask you to give me some guidance on my cultivation, nothing more." Zhu Zhuqing stood up sincerely and bowed.

"Guidance?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head. This was truly a blind spot for him. He knew his own situation best. His cultivation relied entirely on cheat codes and fortuitous encounters. Almost no one else could do that.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you. Perhaps you find it incredible that I'm ahead of my peers, but it's because my martial soul is unique and cannot be replicated." Lu Mingfei shook his head. As for instructing others on cultivation, he himself hadn't even mastered it, so wouldn't he be misleading others?

"I understand." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, without any disappointment or frustration. This was originally her own business, and in fact, she had no reason to come along today.

"How about I write you a letter and plead with Davis? His main target shouldn't be you." Lu Mingfei remembered that Davis had once written to him saying that his sister-in-law was quite pretty. Now that he thought about it, it seemed to have been after the Third Prince Dai Mubai left Tian Dou.

Davis's intentions were probably to make use of what he had, and like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he wanted to use his beauty to seduce him.

If sacrificing a little bit of fame could extend this young girl's life by a few more years, Lu Mingfei felt it wouldn't matter.

Anyway, once the main storyline progresses in a few days, Xingluo probably won't care about this trivial matter anymore. At that time, her fate will be up to her own destiny.

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback. Although she had long since made up her mind to face it alone, Lu Mingfei's kindness still warmed her heart.

The royal trials of Xingluo are not only about death, but the loser will have their martial soul destroyed and be imprisoned for life, which is almost the same as death.

However, she knew that Davis greatly admired Lu Mingfei. With this number one genius on the continent, a powerful figure with immeasurable future potential, pleading for her, even if she lost the battle, she might not be imprisoned and have her martial soul destroyed.

"Thank you," Zhu Zhuqing said, bowing slightly.

"I don't know if I can help you." Lu Mingfei shook his head apologetically. Actually, he felt that he didn't need his letter. He figured that Zhu Zhuqing would be able to turn the tables on Tang San and his group in the future.

"However, you must be strong yourself to succeed. You're right, it's always the most foolish thing to entrust your fate to others."

Lu Mingfei asked the tavern owner for paper and pen, wrote a letter, gave Zhu Zhuqing one last piece of advice, and then left, leaving Zhu Zhuqing to wait for the paper and ink to dry.

"Thank you." Watching Lu Mingfei's departing figure, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel a little dazed. The confidence and composure he exuded was exactly what she had always longed for.

If she had agreed to Davis's proposal back then, would things be different now?

……

Zhu Zhuqing's appearance was just an unexpected aftermath, and Lu Mingfei didn't take it to heart. However, it indirectly served as a reminder to him.

"Wait a minute, this main character group is so lame!"

On his way back to the hotel, Lu Mingfei summarized what he had seen and heard that day.

Paranoid villain, love-struck girl, weak-willed chicken, simp sausage pretty boy, cowardly little tiger, princess-like little witch, and a cold-blooded kitten abandoned by everyone.

If this can be called the main characters, then how doomed is the future of this world?

Especially Tang San, a key combatant, is ugly, has a crooked mind, and is a complete mess. Could his Blue Silver Grass evolve into the World Tree in the future?

But this lousy Blue Silver Grass couldn't even withstand his dragon might. Even if it had a secret, it couldn't be much stronger.

"Wait, hammer technique?"

Tang San has already mastered hidden weapons, so how could he still have time to practice hammer techniques? Conventional melee weapons are practically useless in the late game.

With the ability to use hidden weapons in the early stages, wouldn't that be enough to handle ordinary dangers?

With Tang Hao's biological father around, how could he allow him to waste his cultivation time in such a place?

Something's not right, something's definitely not right!

Lu Mingfei returned to the hotel and pondered for a long time. Since Tang San dared to use his hammer technique to counter his swordsmanship, it meant that he was more confident in his hammer technique than in the Blue Silver Grass technique.

"Damn, could that kid have twin martial souls?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened as he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Twin martial souls, comparable to the current Pope, the big boss, double the skill set and mechanics—this sounds like the protagonist's setup.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Tang San wasted time learning hammer techniques, or even why the Blue Silver Grass had innate full soul power.

We still can't let our guard down and must keep practicing.

Lu Mingfei sighed and took out the weighted iron blocks from the soul tool and put them on his limbs.

He had also watched Dragon Ball and had already started weight training, weighing exactly 80 pounds. He was afraid that any heavier would affect his development.

If it weren't for the possibility of Tang Hao appearing tonight, he wouldn't have been able to take off his burdens for six months, but it seems that it's still far from enough.

They're all cheating. Who knows how much more powerful Tang San's cheats will be later on?

Chapter 93 You guys really know how to play!

"What? They made their move last night!"

Flander returned to the academy early in the morning, and before he could even sit down properly, Zhao Wuji burst in with some explosive, uplifting news.

When he heard that Tang San had tried to use a sneak attack but had been utterly defeated, he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Having been Tang San's teacher for so many years, he knew all too well that although Tang San seemed precocious, he was actually very sensitive inside. Such a huge blow could potentially cripple a person.

"Don't worry, I saw that the child had recovered completely when he went to the cafeteria this morning. It must have been Haotian Douluo who persuaded him last night," Zhao Wuji quickly said.

"Old Zhao, don't speak so dramatically." Flander sat back down in his chair with a sigh of relief.

Lu Mingfei's origins are shrouded in mystery, and Tang San is the son of Haotian Douluo. If either of them were to get into trouble at their academy, they would be unable to bear the consequences.

"That kid is too impulsive," Flander couldn't help but grumble. Although their academy's motto was that those who dared not cause trouble were mediocre, even if you lost, you had to admit defeat. Using dirty tricks would make you look bad no matter what.

It's really not right to make an enemy of a promising genius like Lu Mingfei over such a trivial matter!

"I didn't expect this kid to do something like this either. Before I could stop him, Lu Mingfei had already discovered it himself." Zhao Wuji shook his head. He also didn't expect Tang San to be so...unconventional.

Doesn't he usually lose to Dai Mubai? Why did he go crazy after losing to Lu Mingfei? What grudge did he have?

"By the way, Oscar also broke through to Soul Master today. We can take him with us for Soul Hunting tomorrow." Zhao Wuji brought up some good news and changed the subject: "It seems that the kid was spurred on last night and finally took this final step."

"It seems that Prince Xingluo, Dai Mubai, also broke through during his duel with Lu Mingfei. Could it be that Lu Mingfei's mental pressure could assist in the breakthrough?" Flander stroked his beard. "By the way, what about Ning Rongrong?"

As a teacher, how could he not see Oscar's intentions? Perhaps he should have had Ning Rongrong explain things to him sooner.

Zhao Wuji replied, "I think I saw her leave the school gate this morning. She probably went to find Lu Mingfei."

"Lu Mingfei?" A stiff and strange-sounding voice came from the doorway.

Zhao Wuji had heard the footsteps long ago, but the voices were clearly not from their academy.

When Flander heard that voice, he trembled all over, and the frustration in his heart vanished instantly: "Hahaha, Xiao Gang, you've finally come!"

-

Ning Rongrong had only taken a few steps out of the school gate when a guard appeared and informed her that Lu Mingfei had checked out of the hotel and left Soto City.

Although Ning Rongrong understood that Lu Mingfei was definitely upset because of what happened last night, she still felt a little disappointed.

Dejected, he returned to the college and could only confide in Zhu Zhuqing, who was also a girl.

But as soon as he opened the door, he felt that Zhu Zhuqing was a little different, as if she wasn't as cold as she had been a few days ago.

"Zhuqing, good morning, you look so beautiful today." Ning Rongrong's sweet words came naturally to her mouth.

"Thank you for the compliment." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "Rongrong, so early? Is something the matter?"

Zhu Zhuqing had just woken up from her meditation and was getting ready to have breakfast.

"It's nothing, Xiao Wu went to hunt souls, and there are only two of us girls in the academy, so I could only come to chat with you." Ning Rongrong, being very outgoing, hugged Zhu Zhuqing's arm.

"I went to find Lu Mingfei for breakfast this morning, but he's already disappeared somewhere. Zhuqing, why don't you come with me to the city for breakfast?" Ning Rongrong pouted, pretending to be aggrieved.

"Lu Mingfei...is gone?" Zhu Zhuqing turned around and closed the door.

"I don't know why he suddenly lost his temper last night." Ning Rongrong couldn't help but mutter to herself. Logically speaking, Lu Mingfei usually hates trouble the most, so why would he knowingly attack his old classmate knowing that Haotian Douluo was here?

"He must have his reasons. We just don't know. Something else must have happened last night." Zhu Zhuqing said thoughtfully. Everyone could tell that the atmosphere last night was strange.

"Never mind him. Anyway, he'll be back in Tiandou in a few months, and then we'll settle the score with him then." Ning Rongrong kicked a stone next to her in a childish manner.

"Rongrong, you've known Lu Mingfei for a long time, haven't you? How exactly did he cultivate before?" Zhu Zhuqing asked casually.

Ning Rongrong didn't suspect much; who wouldn't be curious about how Lu Mingfei cultivated?

"Lu Mingfei is a gluttonous cultivation maniac. You have no idea how much he could eat when I first met him," Ning Rongrong recalled, unable to help but laugh.

In a small town in the northeast corner of Soto, the market is bustling with people, and various stalls selling their wares are located along the street.

"Boss, I'll pack all your steamed buns." Lu Mingfei rubbed his nose, feeling a bit itchy.

"Okay, okay, sir." The shopkeeper almost thought he had misheard and quickly called his family for help.

"The money's here, I'll come back later." Carrying a few steamed buns, Lu Mingfei walked towards other stalls.

I left Soto in a hurry last night and didn't have time to resupply, so I can only buy supplies at a market now.

As his body grew, his appetite also grew. Fortunately, he had earned tens of thousands of gold soul coins in Tiandou City before, otherwise, without the subsidy after breaking through to the Soul Master level, it would have been a problem for him to have enough to eat.

To be honest, he's worried about what kind of job he'll be able to support himself once he goes back home, given his current appetite.

"The three upper sects are my nemesis," Lu Mingfei muttered to himself as he strolled around, munching on a meat bun.

He could run into Ning Rongrong just by going into town for a big meal, but yesterday he caused such a big problem, which completely disrupted his original plans.

As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong would not have just enrolled in a shabby academy. It was obvious that Tang Hao wanted to cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Rongrong's enrollment was the link between the two parties.

Ning Fengzhi was clearly using the same old trick of winning people over, making his daughter a classmate to foster friendship.

If they figured they couldn't bind him, then binding Tang San, who had a background with the Clear Sky Sect and possessed twin martial souls, might be better.

Multiple bets, a sure-fire way to make money – typical businessman behavior.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei still can't figure out whether Ning Fengzhi loves his daughter or is just using her as a tool.

Lu Mingfei sighed. Tang Hao and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have secretly formed an alliance, but Tang San's hostility towards him is hard to describe. It will probably be difficult for him to continue to play dumb and not take sides in the future.

However, he didn't intend to stay in Heaven Dou City any longer. He would leave after the Soul Master Competition, out of sight, out of mind. If Tang Hao dared to come up and threaten him, he would join the Spirit Hall.

However, to be fair, Lu Mingfei always had a strange feeling about the Spirit Hall during the years he spent in Heaven Dou City.

There was no probing, no recruitment, and no provocation; the Spirit Hall's attitude towards him was strangely calm.

Even a gaming expert like him had never seen anything like this.

Placement play?

To this, Lu Mingfei can only say, "You guys are too good at this!"

Chapter 94 Lu Mingfei's Weakness?

"Lu Mingfei has appeared in Soto City?"

Xue Qinghe had just gotten up when he saw the information shared by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Three years, a full three years, Lu Mingfei disappeared without a trace. The moment he reappeared, he happened to run into Ning Rongrong, who was on a mission to Soto City.

"A level 45 Soul Master, you are still such a genius." Xue Qinghe sighed. In the past three years, not only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family, but also the Spirit Hall secretly sent forces to search for him, but Lu Mingfei seemed to have vanished into thin air without a trace.

He even suspected that Lu Mingfei might have met with some misfortune.

Hearing that the other party had appeared unharmed, he felt inexplicably relieved.

According to the intelligence, Lu Mingfei will return to Tiandou City in a few months to participate in team training before the competition.

Xue Qinghe pondered for a long time. Although he really wanted to send someone to investigate Lu Mingfei's whereabouts, he ultimately did not take any action.

Last month, Ning Fengzhi suddenly approached him and brought him news that Tang Hao wanted to form an alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire to jointly fight against the Spirit Hall.

This information is too top secret. Only four people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, including Ning Rongrong, know about it. In the Heaven Dou Royal Family, only he and Emperor Xueye know about it. If the information is leaked, he will definitely be exposed.

So even if he really wanted to kill Tang Hao, he had no choice but to hold back.

Ning Fengzhi also mentioned that Tang Hao and his bastard son would come to Tiandou City in a few months and prepare for this year's Soul Master Competition.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe could only wait until the other party arrived in Tiandou City and revealed their true colors before taking action. In addition, he also wanted to see what qualifications this bastard son, on whom Tang Hao had placed high hopes, had to be used as a bargaining chip in their negotiations.

In addition, he should indeed think about what to do to keep Lu Mingfei after he returns this time.

This might be his last chance. After the Soul Master Competition ends, Lu Mingfei may never come back.

-

The Starry Sky Forest is exceptionally quiet at night. In this forest, which is known as the paradise of soul beasts, almost all soul beasts will maintain a cautious posture at night.

Heaven is also hell. The extraordinary abundance of soul beasts also means a more brutal food chain. Here, only the most basic law of the jungle prevails, and sometimes even the weak are guilty of uttering a wail.

Tang Hao led Zhao Wuji, Grandmaster, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for souls.

Under the soul power perception of a Title Douluo, a thousand-year-old soul beast has nowhere to hide. This is how they found a suitable soul ring for Oscar on their very first night here.

Oscar, wielding a short knife, swiftly dealt with the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent that Tang Hao had subdued on the ground, and a purple spirit ring slowly condensed in the air.
