Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 151 The Soul Master Competition officially begins!

Summer days light up quickly, and by five o'clock, the clock tower of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had already rung its bells ahead of time.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes groggily. Today was the opening day of the Soul Master Competition. However, as a seeded team, they did not need to line up like other teams to participate in the opening ceremony of the preliminary rounds. Instead, they were given seats in the VIP section.

I have to say, it feels really good to watch others fight to the death while you can slack off in the audience.

Actually, he was thinking of asking for a day off, since tens of thousands of viewers wouldn't miss one more. However, the three education committee members sternly refused, saying that even Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi had to attend in person today, so how could he be more arrogant than them?

Wearing a suit that had been ironed long ago, Lu Mingfei headed to the school gate to gather. All the students of the Royal Academy would be attending the ceremony today, and the Great Battle Arena had reserved a whole exclusive viewing area for the Royal Academy students in advance.

The sight of hundreds of people gathering at the school gate was quite spectacular. The group was led by the teachers of the academy, as well as the Tian Dou Team led by Lu Mingfei and Yu Tianheng.

The three members of the Education Committee entered the palace yesterday and are currently serving Emperor Xueye. After all, today is a rare day for Emperor Xueye to make a public appearance, with more than 80,000 spectators gathered at the Great Soul Arena alone. Who knows if any trouble might occur?

It has to be said that, looking at the longing look on the dark mass of people behind him, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like he was the godfather of the Italian Mafia. He could just wave his hand and these well-dressed, refined nobles and beasts would rush up and chop him into eight pieces.

"Let's go." Several teachers waved their hands, and the large group of people immediately began to walk quickly towards Tiandou City. It wasn't that their academy couldn't afford to rent a carriage, but the road conditions today were simply not as convenient as walking.

When Lu Mingfei obtained his third spirit ring and left the academy, he missed the opening ceremony of that year's event. Only after entering Heaven Dou City today did he realize just how popular the profession of spirit master is on the continent.

Centered around the Great Soul Arena of Tiandou City, the crowds were beyond description; if the city's defense forces hadn't been deployed, traffic would probably have been completely paralyzed long ago.

The Soul Master Competition is essentially a graduation ceremony for young genius Soul Masters. With the total number of Soul Masters on the continent not exceeding six figures and high-level Soul Masters possibly not reaching five figures, the team members who can participate in the Soul Master Competition are undoubtedly the best of the younger generation.

These contestants almost all represent the future of the Soul Master world in the Heaven Dou Empire. Each of them is sought after by nobles and Soul Master families. At the same time, due to age restrictions, these Soul Master contestants are also the ideal prince charming of young girls all over the continent.

Of course, Prince Charming will eventually suffer the same fate as the cabbage at the morning market. In a competition determined by the strength of a Soul Master, the most eye-catching ones are always the dark horses that are one in a million.

"Lu Mingfei! Lu Mingfei!..."

Lu Mingfei was walking with his teammates on the noble passage opened up by the city defense team when suddenly his name was called from behind.

It started as just a few girls shouting, but it gradually spread, and the entire audience outside the Heavenly Battle Arena joined in the shouting and cheering.

"Wow." Lu Mingfei never expected that his name would be shouted by hundreds of thousands of people. His cheeks were a little hot, and he felt like ants were crawling all over his body. He felt a little ashamed for some reason.

Please, he's not even participating in the qualifiers. What are you guys doing, calling his name here? What about all the other contestants waiting in the wings?

That's right, he's fallen into his habit of feeling embarrassed for others again, and to the point where he could just give up on saving them.

The feeling of being suddenly drawn into the whirlpool of the sea and placed under the spotlight made him subconsciously want to escape, but then he suddenly realized there was nowhere to escape, so he could only give an awkward, bitter smile.

The latest work by author Daydreamer, "Lu Mingfei Starts from Douluo," is exclusively published on Cola Novels!

"Mingfei, you're really popular." Yu Tianheng patted him on the shoulder. As teammates for so many years, they were already used to it. Not to mention before, when Lu Mingfei's level was lower than his, he was no match for him. Now that he was a whole level behind, he was even more convinced.

The others joined in the laughter.

There's no way around it; in this era, all young Soul Masters have to admit that Lu Mingfei's name is a landmark that dominates the contemporary world and that no one can bypass.

Centuries later, if they are fortunate enough to leave their mark in history books, they will probably be given a prefix, such as "the wondrous friend of the legendary Soul Master Lu Mingfei".

"What's this? Last time, when news spread that Mingfei might have met with disaster in the Star Dou Great Forest, countless young ladies in Tian Dou City wept their hearts out." Yu Feng exaggeratedly covered his face, not afraid of Lu Mingfei teaching him a lesson in front of everyone.

What can Lu Mingfei say about this? Can you give him a list or something? But it feels like he's some kind of lewd womanizer.

He could only try his best to make his smile not seem so awkward or forced.

Fortunately, the outer passage has come to an end, and we will soon be able to enter the Soul Arena. The hundreds of people in the VIP area are all people who care about their reputation, so surely no one will cause trouble?

However, just as they were walking from the internal passage to the VIP table, they were unexpectedly ambushed by Xue Qinghe, who had been lying in wait at the entrance.

Xue Qinghe, dressed in his formal Crown Prince attire, greeted Lu Mingfei and the others with a smile upon seeing them: "Brother Lu, Father has specifically instructed that he wishes to personally meet the main combat team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, the rising stars of the empire. Your seats are in the third row, please follow me."

Looking at Xue Qinghe's harmless smile, Lu Mingfei almost rolled his eyes. Their seats were originally in a corner of the VIP area, but now they had suddenly become the center of attention.

He didn't believe that the old man Xue Ye had such a good memory; it must have been Xue Qinghe who was behind it.

When they arrived at the VIP table, the first and second rows were already full of people, all of whom were prominent figures in Tiandou City and whom they had all met before.

Of course, the most eye-catching seats were the three in the first row: Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall; Xue Ye, the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire; and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Xue Qinghe led the group to the third row, where everyone bowed to the three people in the first row before taking their seats.

Emperor Xueye nodded and smiled slightly, Ning Fengzhi also nodded, while Bishop Salas's gaze shifted, seemingly lost in thought.

However, the opening ceremony is about to begin, so now is not the time for casual conversation.

As the emcee on the VIP side announced the entry of each team from the Tian Dou region, waves of applause instantly erupted throughout the Great Battle Arena.

Nearly thirty teams, young Soul Masters dressed in colorful costumes and patterns, strode confidently into the Great Soul Arena like heroes, receiving cheers and applause from more than 80,000 spectators.

Everyone was full of fighting spirit and high morale, with an air of dominance over the world. However, everyone on the field knew that before they could look down on the world, they had to witness its vastness first.

All the teams that took to the field unanimously focused their attention on the central position in the third row of the VIP section.

Lu Mingfei crossed his arms and rested his elbows on the armrests. His sharp black suit hugged his tall and imposing figure, making him look like a young lion, looking down with an inexplicable air of authority.

All the heroes of the world are but dung!

"Damn it." Lu Mingfei forced a cold expression, cursing Xue Qinghe half to death in his heart. Arranging such an attractive position for him, did he want him to get a sack over his head when he walked at night?
