Chapter 131 Lu Ling
Lu Mingfei turned to look at Xia Mi: "Why is it impossible?"
Xia Mi explained:
"Lu Mingfei, do you know the conditions for the birth of a Dragon King? It is that he must possess authority!"
"And now, all eight twin dragon kings are still alive, so there's no way the other party could become a dragon king!"
Xia Mi seemed to have discovered something, and a glint of light appeared in her eyes:
"Wait, I understand!"
"If what you say is true, Herzog will become the new White King!"
“White King?” Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.
Xia Mi nodded: "Yes, White King."
"The White King controlled the spiritual authority, but after she betrayed the Black King, she was killed by the Black King with his supreme power. The Black King ate her flesh and blood, turned her bones into ice shards, and then melted the ice shards and poured them into the volcano, completely destroying the White King's body and soul."
"Later, the ancestors of the Snake-Headed Eight Families obtained the White King's bones and became a hybrid."
"If Herzog were still alive, he would definitely be in Japan!"
Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei, waiting for his confirmation.
Lu Mingfei nodded: "He is indeed in Japan!"
The trajectory of everything seems to be clear.
Herzog conducted research on Zero at Black Swan Harbor, and under the covert manipulation of the three major warring factions, the research was very successful.
After the destruction of Black Swan Harbor, Herzog went to Japan, where he ultimately caused Erii's death and became the new White King.
Herzog's existence is very likely an experiment by the three families to test whether humans could become Dragon Kings.
Even if the teacher in the other world didn't obtain the system and kill Herzog, the three major families would probably still have a backup plan to kill this newly born dragon king.
Now, whether for Erii or for Zero, he must kill Herzog and the three half-blood families behind him.
Lu Mingfei turned to look at Zero: "Zero, do you still remember what Herzog looks like?"
Zero thought for a moment: "It's been too long, I can't quite remember, but if I could see him in person, I would definitely recognize him!"
Lu Mingfei made the decision: "Okay, then you'll come with me to Japan!"
“But you have to go secretly,” he warned, “after all, that old Herzog might remember what you look like! If you show up with me, he might spot you.”
Ling nodded slightly: "Mm!"
[System notification: Only 30 minutes left until the daily task ends, please be aware!]
Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice rang in Lu Mingfei's mind.
He narrowed his eyes, switched to the semi-transparent system interface, and glanced at today's daily tasks.
[Daily Task: Please bathe in Chu Zihang's flames for one hour]
[Task successful: 1 point awarded. Points can be redeemed for items in the system shop.]
[Mission Failure: Five Punishments Package (Flooding, Burning, Wind Cutting, Burial, Mental Imprisonment)]
The corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.
He had already consulted with Mai Shude and Zero about the power of words during his three months of training on the isolated island.
Junyan ranks 89th in the Word of Power sequence list, which is considered a high-risk Word of Power.
Putting aside whether he can withstand this hour of fire, where is he even going to find Chu Zihang right now?
He resisted the urge to curse the system and ignored the system notification.
Anyway, I've already endured two days of the five-punishment package.
It's not a big deal if we don't make a difference today.
"Alright, everyone go and rest," he instructed.
It is now midnight.
He is about to face five forms of punishment.
He didn't want to worry his beloved girl, nor did he want to embarrass himself in front of her.
So it's better to be alone.
The girls stood up and prepared to leave.
Lu Mingfei suddenly called out to Zero: "Zero, you stay here!"
Whether it was the past she had just whispered about, or the barely perceptible fragility in her eyes now, he couldn't bear to let her leave alone like that.
She should stay by his side tonight.
Ling slightly raised her eyes, and something faint yet bright flickered gently in the depths of her eyes.
She nodded and said softly, "Okay!"
After the other three left, only Lu Mingfei and Ling remained in the library.
Moonlight streamed through the high window, casting cool, dappled patterns on the floor.
Lu Mingfei looked at the girl standing at the intersection of light and shadow, and saw the silent softness beneath her seemingly strong exterior.
Looking at the strong yet fragile girl in front of him, Lu Mingfei said:
"Zero, since I, who was number zero before, gave you the name 'Zero'."
“But I’m no longer Zero, so I want to give you a new name.”
"From today onwards, your name will be Lu Ling, and you'll take my surname, Lu, okay?"
“Okay!” Zero responded immediately, her voice overflowing with joy.
The sorrow that had been clinging to her was overwhelmed by this joy and vanished without a trace in an instant.
Lu Mingfei reached out and pulled her into his arms, then leaned down and kissed her small lips.
So soft...and...so warm!
……
Late at night or early morning.
Lu Mingfei had just finished undergoing the five punishments and arrived at the rooftop of the library.
The rooftop was spacious, with nothing but the attic, the wall, and a few weeds in the corner.
Because Zero refused to sleep, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to bring Zero up with him.
Zero even moved a chair with a backrest to the rooftop and sat there to watch him cultivate.
For some reason, ever since he was able to withstand these five punishments...
Although it was very slight, he could still feel that his mental strength had increased a little.
Furthermore, they developed a certain degree of resistance to the five forms of punishment.
Lu Mingfei sat upright on the top of the pavilion, circulating the Chaotic Undying Star Body Technique.
Now that his stellar body is complete, he can even draw upon the power of stars from the universe.
Starlight shimmered around him, and starlight shone down from the distant sky.
That was not a faint starlight!
A powerful and condensed silver beam of light, like a bridge connecting the Milky Way, descended from the boundless universe!
The light precisely enveloped the entire library, and the cool starlight flowed across the roof tiles.
Under the moonlight, the entire Shilan Middle School was filled with a sacred and strange atmosphere.
This scene of cultivation caused the armed troops stationed around Shilan Middle School to widen their eyes and turn their attention to the starlight.
Some residents also noticed this spectacle and took out their phones to take pictures and videos.
Corridor of the administration building.
Mai Shude's golden eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at the figure at the top of the library:
"The boss is practicing cultivation again!"
Previously, the group thought that Lu Mingfei kept Ling because he had chosen Ling and was planning to do *that* with her.
Unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei turned around and went to cultivate.
"So beautiful!" Xia Mi exclaimed, leaning against the painted iron railing.
The falling starlight illuminated the library, making it resemble a crystal palace.
Jiude Mai crossed her arms and looked at Su Enxi beside her:
"Speaking of which, Chip Girl, you've never seen this scene before!"
"I've never seen it before!" Su Enxi answered truthfully.
Mai Shude smiled smugly: "I've seen this kind of scene many times on the deserted island."
"Oh?" Su Enxi raised an eyebrow and retorted sarcastically, "You've been by the boss's side for three months and still haven't managed to win him over. What are you so smug about?"
"Ha! If you're so good, you do it!" Jiu De Mai said dismissively.
She tried everything she could, but still couldn't win over Lu Mingfei. It's easy for Su Enxi to talk like this without knowing the situation.
Su Enxi rolled her eyes at Jiu Demai but didn't say anything.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness of kindred spirits in each other's eyes.
What's the point of arguing between two losers?
Although Lu Mingfei promised to give them a chance.
But... opportunities aren't so easy to seize!
