Soon, his strength had improved to the same level as Caesar and Chu Zihang, but he lacked some combat experience and training.
Chapter 586 Club Recruitment
Therefore, in order to gain practical experience and hope that he could awaken stronger abilities through the trials, the school planned to send him to carry out missions around the world.
After another month of training, he can become an executive officer and start carrying out missions independently, just like Chu Zihang.
Lu Mingfei did not object to this arrangement.
He abandoned all games, having not played them in a long time. He barely had any rest time each day, and the only time he could catch his breath was when he chatted with Erii.
Almost every day, he would see the photos this silly girl sent him, like she was making a journal, sharing her feelings with him, and even noting that she wanted to do this or that with him.
Seeing her living a peaceful life, Lu Mingfei felt very gratified.
He participated in training even more diligently, especially in combat and shooting training, as well as training in hacking techniques and intelligence gathering related to espionage.
He would occasionally joke that it wouldn't be bad to be a secret agent like 007, with luxury cars to drive around in and beautiful women to accompany him on missions.
This kind of life seems pretty good.

Meanwhile, Gu Ran was also in the church, having a meeting with the core members of the Lionheart Society.
The Lionheart Society's organizational structure is not as complicated as the student council's, and with Vice President Lee Eun-sook in charge, she handles all the administrative affairs.
Therefore, the main topic of discussion now is the competition on the free day the day after tomorrow.
This year's 'One Day of Freedom' bet still involves the right to use the Norton House, which is currently still in Gu Ran's hands because he won against Caesar last year.
Norton House is quite important to Gu Ran; he basically lives there now, and many of his personal belongings are kept there.
Lee Eun-sook also works there, and occasional Lionheart Society gatherings are also held there.
In addition to the right to use the Norton House, they also wagered an extra million dollars.
The losing side must host a grand victory party for the winning side the following weekend, and the loser must serve as a waiter at the party.
This punishment is quite humiliating, so everyone is now putting in their best effort and eager to try it out.
"President, are you going to participate in the competition?" Lee Eun-sook asked.
"I think I'll pass. I'll just be the commander. Lu Mingfei didn't play, and if I did, we'd lose face."
Gu Ran stretched lazily and said to everyone, "Don't take winning or losing too seriously. Just focus on participating. But we can't possibly lose, right?"
The Lionheart members all nodded in agreement. They weren't actually nervous, because the Lionheart Society had always been selective in its membership recruitment, requiring members to have bloodlines of grade B or higher and outstanding abilities.
Therefore, in terms of overall individual combat strength, they are stronger than the student council.
“I heard that senior student Nuonuo will also be participating in the competition,” said Li Enshu.
"Huh? I was hoping to see her do cheerleading!"
Gu Ran had seen Nuonuo before, dressed in white stockings and a crop top, acting as a cheerleader.
That figure is amazing!
"Well, since that's the case, let's wait until we beat them and then have their White Silk Dance Troupe perform for us," Gu Ran said with a smile.
The group of men in the Lionheart Club chuckled, while Li Enshu, the only woman in the meeting room, glared at them with annoyance. She then gave Gu Ran a sidelong look, thinking to herself that all men are the same.
"Just kidding, just kidding!" Gu Ran looked at Li Enshu ingratiatingly. He couldn't afford to offend this secretary, otherwise no one would do his work for him.
Lee Eun-sook adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, looking serious: "The next topic is about new student recruitment."
The new semester is also recruitment season. If clubs want to continue to develop, they cannot afford to neglect recruitment.
The Lionheart Society rarely takes the initiative to invite others, because it is the oldest club in the academy, and its prestigious reputation means that people join voluntarily.
The Lionheart Society also selects the best candidates, preferring quality over quantity, and only recruits the most outstanding individuals.
"Are there any freshmen with excellent bloodlines this year?" Gu Ran asked.
The new students had already arrived at school before Gu Ran returned.
"Yes, Victoria, from a branch of the British royal family, was granted the title of Earl by the Queen at a young age. Several dragon slayers have come from her family, and her bloodline is B+."
Li Enshu applied to a relatively outstanding freshman program.
Gu Ran nodded: "An ancient dragon-slaying family...that's interesting."
He suddenly thought of something interesting, a clever idea that would force the board of directors to take action against the Solomon Temple.
“Go ask Victoria if she’s willing to join the Lionheart Society,” Gu Ran said to Li Enshu. “Just ask casually. If she’s willing, we’ll accept her; if not, then forget it.”
"I understand." Lee Eun-sook knew how to approach the situation.
"Do me another favor: compile a list of all the mixed-race individuals from prestigious families in the academy. I need it," Gu Ran continued.
"it is good."
Lee Eun-sook didn't ask why, but silently noted all these things down and would take care of them later.
However, she noticed a sly smile playing on Gu Ran's lips, and wondered what kind of mischief he was plotting.
*……*……*
Two days later, a new day of freedom began.
This year's event is no longer about fighting and shooting; frankly, we're all tired of shooting games every year.
So let's be friendly this year and play the name tag ripping game.
The student council and the Lionheart Club each sent thirty people to tear each other's name tags off. The competition was held throughout the entire hilltop campus, except for restricted areas such as the ice cellar and the principal's office, where anyone could hide.
The competition is a battle of annihilation; whoever tears off all the name tags of the opposing team first wins.
Simple, straightforward, and fun.
The only restriction is that you are not allowed to subdue or harm the other party with force; you can only tear off name tags.
For example, you can't just knock someone unconscious and then tear off their name tag; that's pointless.
You can launch a sneak attack, or you can tear off name tags face-to-face using strength and agility, but physical combat is not allowed.
This is to eliminate the advantages of certain bloodlines. For example, Zero could easily beat everyone by herself and then tear off the name tags, which would be pointless.
There are strategies and skills involved in tearing name tags; it's not just about brute force. In large-scale group name tag battles, various tactics must be considered.
If they fight alone, they are easily defeated one by one, but if they all gather together, they are easily devoured step by step.
In order to enable everyone to work together, each club can send one person to be the commander. The commander of the Lionheart Club is Gu Ran, while the commander of the Student Council is Pacino.
Pacino is a senior this year, in the same year as Nono. He previously participated in Operation Bronze with Caesar and is one of the outstanding members of the student council.
Judging from their backgrounds, the student council has many talented individuals, such as Nono and Zero, who are among the best in the A-level.
However, the Lionheart Society was lacking. With Lancelot, Susie, and Chu Zihang graduating together, the Lionheart Society faced a generational gap. If it weren't for Gu Ran holding things together, the Lionheart Society wouldn't even have a proper facade.
"Our plan here is to get 'zero' sorted out first, and put everything else aside for now."
Gu Ran was sitting on the top of the Night Watch's clock tower, issuing tasks via walkie-talkie.
He held an iPad in his hand, the screen displaying a map of the mountaintop campus. The map had many red dots on it, which were the Lionheart Society members.
“Zero has excellent hearing and eyesight, making it difficult to ambush her, so we need to lure her into a trap.” Gu Ran rolled his eyes as he searched the area. “She’s currently hiding by the pool, waiting for an opportunity to ambush her.”
Zero's combat power is indeed amazing, but she has a flaw: she doesn't like to cooperate with others and always prefers to work alone.
"Send fifteen men to take care of Zero first. You'll split into five teams of three. Two teams will launch a feint attack, two teams will make the arrest, and one team will launch a sneak attack. The target is Zero's name tag," Gu Ran issued the order.
"Fifteen people? Isn't that too many?" came the voice of a Lionheart Society cadre over the communicator.
"I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle it. Go and fight Zero once, and you'll understand." Gu Ran didn't bother to explain. "Just carry out the order."
The Lionheart members obeyed orders without question. As soon as the order was given, five three-person teams immediately set out to hunt Zero at the pool, while the others kept watch around the perimeter.
Zero's hearing was indeed amazing; she sensed something was wrong as soon as the squads approached.
However, she did not retreat; instead, she found a place to hide.
She was petite and felt that going out might lead to her being surrounded, so it would be safer to hide in some corners.
She was confident that no one would be able to find her.
But Gu Ran has the White Eye, which allows her to see through things... so she has no way to hide!
*……*……*
Let me say a few words:
The timeline of "Dragon Raja" is very confusing. For example, when Chu Zihang was in the Arctic in "Dragon Raja 4", it was more than a year after the Tokyo incident, specifically on Christmas Day, December 25, 2012.
However, Lu Mingfei's capture of the dance king in Brazil took place between February and March of 2012 (during the Rio Carnival, Lu Mingfei clearly stated that he was a junior in college).
Furthermore, Chu Zihang's grade level is also very confusing. In the old version of "Dragon 1", he was two years older than Lu Mingfei, while in the new versions of "Dragon 1" and "Dragon 4", he was only one year older than Lu Mingfei.
Also, in the old version of "Dragon King 1", Chu Zihang and Su Xi were in the same year, while in the new version of "Dragon King 1", Chu Zihang is one year younger than Su Xi. However, in "Dragon King 1" and "Dragon King 5", Chu Zihang is in the same year as Su Xi.
Even with this summary, you still find it confusing, right?
Furthermore, Isabel's enrollment date is also confusing. In the old version of "Dragon King 4," she was one year younger than Lu Mingfei; in "Dragon King 1," she was two years younger; and then in "Dragon King 5," it was said that she was only one year younger than Nono, meaning she was in the same year as Lu Mingfei...
These examples are given in the hope that people will not delve too deeply into the issue of timelines.
After all... the original work was so chaotic.
So I plan to combine the timelines of "Dragon King 1" and "Dragon King 4" together, including the people and events.
For example, minor characters like Victoria and Gonzalez were arranged to enroll this year.
Chapter 587 The Second Person to Conquer the Japanese Underworld
Zero, who was hiding in the corner, was easily found and began to run away.
Because physical combat is not allowed in the name tag ripping game, the only target for attacking is the opponent's name tag.
Otherwise, Zero could easily take down these people and fight his way out.
This is also what makes tearing name tags fun; it emphasizes individual reaction and tactical encirclement.
Fifteen people went to hunt down Zero, who was acting alone, and the little sister is now in a very passive position.
