"How much?...One hundred...one hundred thousand!"
In the past, every summer vacation, my aunt would watch all kinds of Korean dramas at home. Every time the domineering CEO in the drama handed a check to the female lead, she would exclaim with her eyes shining, "So handsome!" and then look at my uncle and sigh.
The uncle could only scratch the back of his head and tactfully drink water to cover his embarrassment.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Only middle-aged housewives would be this pragmatic."
But now he has to say, Xue Qinghe, you're a real heartthrob.
As the saying goes, poverty breeds cunning, while wealth fosters conscience.
In the past, when he was short of money at his aunt's house, he always had to find ways to outsmart his meager allowance.
Sometimes, she would even walk to the market just to save the bus fare from the money her aunt gave her so she could go online.
Since accumulating over 10,000 gold soul coins in the Great Soul Arena a few years ago, he has come to believe that he has become a noble, pure person who has transcended base desires.
But looking at the prepaid card with a total of 100,000 gold soul coins in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Although what Xue Qinghe said in the second half had nothing to do with him, who wouldn't like to get paid?
If I had known the appearance fee was 100,000 gold soul coins, I would have at least dragged it out for three minutes to make everyone feel it was worth the money!
"Brother Xue, you should have said so earlier." Lu Mingfei snatched the card from Xue Qinghe's hand.
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, used to Lu Mingfei's changing expressions. Having known Lu Mingfei for so many years, she always knew a bit about his weaknesses.
It must be either genuine or sincere.
However, his smug expression quickly changed, because that bastard Lu Mingfei actually patted his chest in excitement.
The key point is that it wasn't just patted, it was patted twice.
"But I still have to say, I'm quitting after this job." Lu Mingfei, oblivious to Xue Qinghe's sudden change in expression, continued, "By the way, it seems the prize for the champion of this Soul Master Competition is also one million gold soul coins, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Xue Qinghe nodded with a stiff smile: "Brother Lu, I congratulate you in advance on your fortune."
"Actually, I'm not confident about winning; it all depends on luck." Lu Mingfei shook his head. He was used to these kinds of compliments, but to be on the safe side, he decided not to make any promises.
He couldn't even imagine how strong the Spirit Hall was that could keep that pure-blooded true dragon named Di Tian hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest instead of launching a counterattack against humanity. What if something unexpected happened during the competition? Wouldn't he be slapped in the face?
"Then I believe Brother Lu must be incredibly lucky." Xue Qinghe's face darkened. "I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now. Brother Lu should go find your teammates too."
After saying that, he turned around and left the waiting room.
"Oh, Brother Xue, take care." Lu Mingfei waved goodbye from behind without realizing it. This was a lucky charm, so he should be as polite as possible.
Although he felt that Xue Qinghe's expression was a bit strange when he left, he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, he had already gotten the money. The mighty Tian Dou royal family wouldn't make him return it, would they?
Once Lu Mingfei saw that most of the audience had left, he leisurely walked out of the VIP passage and greeted Yu Tianheng and the others.
"We ordinary folks are really happy today!" Lu Mingfei actually prefers a simple life. Now that he's made a fortune, of course he has to treat himself to a good meal to celebrate.
--
In contrast to Lu Mingfei's simple and lighthearted demeanor, the master's face was filled with sorrow and despair.
Neither he nor the academy's teachers attended the opening ceremony today; they left everything entirely to Tang San.
But when everyone returned, they brought him the news that Lu Mingfei had played an exhibition match. When he first heard it, he was thinking that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was so foolish as to expose its own trump card strength.
After hearing the battle report, he fell silent again. Lu Mingfei's third soul skill was wind attribute, which was in line with his initial prediction. However, he killed a powerful Soul Master with just one soul skill, which made him worry about Tang San.
He knew very well just how astonishing Tang San's determination to defeat Lu Mingfei had been these past few days.
His concern wasn't whether Tang San could defeat Lu Mingfei, but rather what Tang San might do in order to do so.
This final is being held in Spirit City, the home ground of the Spirit Hall. If Tang San loses control and exposes his identity, even if Haotian Douluo intervenes, it will be difficult to protect him.
"Haotian Douluo, do you really think Xiao San can defeat Lu Mingfei this time?" Grandmaster hesitated for a long time before speaking. Tang Hao was the only one who knew Tang San's full strength.
Tang Hao was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Actually, I'm not sure either, but we have no choice but to trust the mistress now."
"I believe he can defeat Lu Mingfei and regain his confidence, and I also believe that even if he loses to Lu Mingfei, he can continue to bounce back."
"Didn't you see it too? His efforts and determination to catch up with Lu Mingfei?"
"That's precisely why I'm worried." The master sighed. "Xiao San is too persistent. If he loses after preparing so meticulously for so long, the blow to him will be devastating..."
The master didn't say the second half of his sentence, but Tang Hao understood what he meant.
Whether it's the potential risks of defeating Lu Mingfei, or the subsequent setback that would cripple Tang San after being defeated by Lu Mingfei, both pose significant challenges to Tang San's growth.
"No, this time, everything will come to a conclusion." Tang Hao's weathered face suddenly turned serious. His body couldn't hold on much longer, and before that, he had to pave the way for Tang San's future.
The master realized the deeper meaning in Tang Hao's words and was startled. As a fellow disciple of the sect, he naturally understood the meaning behind Tang Hao's words.
How exactly did the three upper sects maintain their position? Besides their own martial spirit strength, the most important factor was their ruthless methods. Eliminating any threat was a consensus among all sects.
Tang Hao made no attempt to hide his intentions, his dark eyes flashing with a fierce light: "The Spirit Hall has taken no real action against this number one genius of the continent from beginning to end, which is illogical. I have reason to suspect that he or someone behind him has reached some kind of agreement with the Spirit Hall. In that case, he is our enemy. Now he's standing in Xiao San's way. If Xiao San can't overcome this obstacle on his own, then I'll help him!"
The master never expected that things would come to this, even though the threat from the Star Dou Great Forest was just around the corner not long ago.
But for Tang San and for the future, they had to make a choice.
He said in a deep voice, "Then we must act quickly. There might be one or two Title Douluos behind him. Should we contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"No, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been a fence-sitter and can't be relied on at all. Master, just pretend you didn't hear what I said today. Our Haotian School will handle this ourselves." Tang Hao calmly walked out of the room, and his figure disappeared instantly.
The master felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Tang Hao's words.
Is the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, finally about to make a comeback?
