Chapter 114 This is too sudden, isn't it?
"avalanche?"
A few question marks floated across Lu Mingfei's head.
Isn't this fourth prince on the path of pretending to be a playboy with no turning back?
Back in the intermediate academy, Xue Beng was like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he saw him, feeling uncomfortable everywhere. He also bullied Li Lan a lot. How could he possibly offer himself up now?
Is he planning to turn over a new leaf? Aren't he afraid Xue Qinghe will make a move against him?
"Boss, you don't know how awkward it's been since Xue Beng joined. He just comes to sit for a while every day, occasionally practice a few moves, and when he goes out, he still causes trouble as usual." Speaking of Xue Beng, Li Lan also had a headache. After all, he was a prince, and she couldn't afford to offend him or avoid him.
Lu Mingfei could vaguely guess what was going on. Xue Beng would never dare to make any changes for the sake of his life. It was probably Xue Ye or Xue Xing who ordered him to come to the training room.
Four months ago, not long after he met Ning Rongrong in Soto City, she was coming towards him?
The advanced academy's sword training room was opened after Lu Mingfei left, at the request of some students.
The space is spacious enough to easily accommodate hundreds of people. The wooden floor is so shiny it reflects your reflection, and there is a wide variety of training equipment.
Upon opening the door, dozens of members couldn't help but cheer when they saw Li Lan and Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei glanced around and saw many familiar faces from his previous time at the intermediate academy. Then he spotted Xue Beng in the corner, but Xue Beng clearly didn't give him a friendly look, snorting coldly before turning his head away.
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet. Don't make a fool of yourselves." Li Lan quickly restored order: "I know everyone is excited to see the legendary Senior Lu Mingfei, but please restrain yourselves. We will randomly select a few team members to come up for a practical exercise later, and Senior Lu Mingfei will give us some pointers."
This was Li Lan's initial idea. With so many members, it would be too much trouble for Lu Mingfei to guide each one individually; it was simply impossible. Having two or three people practice in real combat would be enough.
This is a chance to compete against the number one genius on the mainland, what more could you ask for?
The cheers grew even louder when Li Lan spoke. Part of the reason she joined the training team was because of Lu Mingfei's reputation. If she could get his guidance, it would be something she could brag about later.
Lu Mingfei agreed. His younger brother asked for a small favor, and as the older brother, he naturally agreed without hesitation.
He's no good at giving pointers, but he's much easier at beating people up in a real fight.
Soon, the first lucky child appeared.
"Gernius, you go first." Li Lan casually pointed, and a burly man immediately stepped out from the crowd.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Lu Mingfei took the wooden sword from Li Lan and stood holding it.
Genius suppressed his excitement, and his expression instantly turned serious.
"You guys go first." Lu Mingfei assumed a starting stance, exuding a lazy aura.
If he attacks first, there's no point in watching anything here, since everyone here is a Grand Soul Master.
Grinius gripped his sword intently, staring at Lu Mingfei, who was smiling. He didn't move his feet, his arm muscles taut like steel, ready to strike.
After a stalemate of about five seconds, he finally moved, extending both arms in a straight thrust.
This was undoubtedly a very clever idea. The wooden swords they were holding were all of the same size, and he was older and had longer arms, so his thrusting speed and power were the best counter to Lu Mingfei.
Then, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.
Grius's head was "cut off," and Lu Mingfei appeared on the left, swinging his sword and slashing at his neck.
Lu Mingfei did not use his soul power, but his figure was like a ghost, dodging the straight thrust and easily killing the throat with a single sword strike.
"Don't take your eyes off your enemy. Your final intentions are too obvious," Lu Mingfei thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.
"Thank you, Senior Lu Mingfei." Grius sheathed his sword, bowed solemnly to Lu Mingfei, and left the arena with a smile on his face.
Then came the second one, whose head was also split open by Lu Mingfei's sword.
When it was the third person's turn, Avalanche, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly raised his hand.
Li Lan was almost stunned. The name that was on the tip of his tongue was immediately swallowed back down. This was the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Education Committee had to give him the respect he deserved.
"Then please step forward, Avalanche."
Lu Mingfei was also a little surprised that the avalanche would make such a splash.
However, when he picked up the sword and made a raising gesture, Lu Mingfei nodded slightly.
The avalanche movements were very precise, clearly indicating serious training.
"I'd like to see if you're really that powerful. You don't mind if I use my soul power, do you?" Xue Beng spoke in a provocative tone, like a spoiled brat, clearly intending to slap Lu Mingfei in the face in public.
Just as Li Lan was about to stop him, Lu Mingfei spoke first, nodding and saying, "Avalanche, please feel free to do as you please."
"That's good." Xue Beng probably didn't expect Lu Mingfei to agree so easily, and his confidence instantly plummeted. But since things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and go for it.
Having soul power and not having soul power are two different things, and the students below the stage immediately became nervous.
Avalanche adopted the sword stance commonly used by knights, with the upper and lower stances used for defense and counterattack, which is the opposite of the defensive stance used for the lower stance. This is an offensive sword stance.
Lu Mingfei also adopted the best possible response, sheathing his sword at his waist.
This time, unlike the silent standoff of the previous two matches, Avalanche, which had a clear advantage after Li Lan announced the start, immediately chose the most direct diagonal slash.
A Great Soul Master's soul power is enough to cut down a tree trunk the size of a bowl with this strike.
However, Lu Mingfei did not give him that chance.
A faint whistling sound flashed by, and a clear indentation appeared on Xue Beng's school uniform chest. Lu Mingfei's figure was performing the Blood Vibration Sword technique behind Xue Beng.
The entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause that lasted for a long time. Even though few could see it with the naked eye, Lu Mingfei's final sword-sheathing move was so cool that they were completely awestruck.
Avalanche snorted and threw down his sword, probably feeling embarrassed, before turning and leaving the training room.
"Let's thank senior Lu Mingfei for his excellent guidance today." Li Lan quickly changed the subject and announced the end of today's event.
When Lu Mingfei walked out of the training hall after the fan meeting ended, he was preparing to return to his dormitory.
The figure of Xue Beng walked towards him, handed him a letter, and then turned and left without saying a word.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head. This scene seemed somewhat familiar. He wondered what kind of act Lu Mingfei was up to this time. However, after opening the letter and glancing at it, he immediately felt a headache coming on.
Tomorrow at noon, we will meet in the royal private room on the top floor of the Tiandou Hotel. The invitation is signed by Prince Xuexing, the head of the Education Committee.
"That's not right." Lu Mingfei wondered if it was because he had been gone for three years that he felt he had a better chance of winning him over than Xue Qinghe?
In the end, Lu Mingfei decided to go tomorrow. It would be too offensive to refuse even a meal. Anyway, he was planning to go to Tiandou City to buy some things tomorrow, and a meal wouldn't take up much of his time.
So the next morning, Lu Mingfei swaggered out of the college.
Birds sang, flowers bloomed, and a gentle breeze caressed his face. Lu Mingfei had walked this road into the city hundreds of times, but today seemed a little different.
Three burly men, each more robust than a brown bear, stood like three boulders blocking the road. They were completely covered up, clearly indicating that they wanted to cause trouble.
"Why are you wearing black clothes when you're robbing people in broad daylight? Are you from the winery?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but blurt out some nonsense when he got nervous.
Although he knew this day would come, he couldn't help but take action as soon as he got back yesterday. Wasn't he a bit too hasty?
