The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 18 Obedient

Lu Mingfei actually had some doubts: was someone like him, or someone like Huo Yuhao, a protagonist?

Huo Yuhao had a stroke of luck, but he was brave and daring. He had resources and worked hard to improve himself. He never gave up any opportunity...

What about him?

It seems like someone has been waiting to save them all along.

"I...I can't do it well..." Lu Mingfei lowered his head, not daring to look at Tianmeng and Bingdi's expectant eyes.

He was always being pushed around, and only when he was forced to do something desperate did he hate his own incompetence.

He realized that even though he was afraid the little devil would really take his soul, as long as the little devil was there, he still had a trump card and a chance to turn the tide.

But that was the little devil's ability, not his.

He has only one soul, and can only exchange souls with the little devil a maximum of four times.

Four chances to be a hero...

"I don't know why you were able to switch identities with Yuhao," Tianmeng transformed into human form, forcefully lifting Lu Mingfei's head. He earnestly said to Lu Mingfei, "but the fact that you and Yuhao have equal status means that your potential is the same as Yuhao's!"

"Lu Mingfei!"

Tianmeng shouted loudly.

"Until Huo Yuhao returns, you will enjoy everything associated with the identity of Huo Yuhao! His martial soul, his soul rings, his soul spirit, his assets, his connections, his undead demiplane, and his soul magic!"

"Although you don't have Yuhao's luck, you have your own luck! The luck of a protagonist!"

Lu Mingfei stared blankly.

same?

Huo Yuhao left behind a truly substantial amount of wealth. In comparison, all he had was Lu Mingze, a little devil who was currently on vacation and might need to collect souls to get things done, the pursuit of the Snake Clan, and an unpaid credit card debt…

How could they be the same?

Tianmeng: "..."

His expression of hatred for Lu Mingfei was so easy to understand!

"Tianmeng, get out of the way!" Bingdi also transformed into human form and shoved Tianmeng away with a slap.

Hyotei's stunningly beautiful face suddenly drew close to Lu Mingfei, causing him to freeze in place, unsure of what to do.

Even now, he still doesn't know what to do when a beautiful woman approaches him.

Hyotei, with a cold face, clenched his right fist and delivered an uppercut to Lu Mingfei's chin, sending him flying!

Tianmeng: !!!

"Since words won't work on this kid, let's use our fists!"

Lu Mingfei clutched his chin, feeling as if his jawbone might have shattered.

"This is the Sea of ​​Spirit. As long as I don't kill you, you won't suffer any real harm," Hyotei said with a "kind" smile. "Either you obey and work hard according to the contract, or you stay in the Sea of ​​Spirit and take the beating!"

"Lu Mingfei, right?" Hyotei's eyes grew increasingly dangerous. "Which one do you choose?"

Lu Mingfei shuddered, recalling the force of that punch he had just received…

He recalled the brutal murder he had suffered when he first arrived...

Did he come into this world to take on action roles?

Lu Mingfei really wanted to say that he didn't want to choose either one, but looking at Hyotei's expression, he suspected that if he dared to say that, Hyotei's next punch would land on him again.

"I," Lu Mingfei said, on the verge of tears, "can I not..."

Hyotei's face suddenly darkened: "No!"

Lu Mingfei stated that he simply wanted more time to think things over, and did not mean that he did not want to choose any of them.

"I will do my best," Lu Mingfei said with a bitter face.

Back in school, everyone treated him as an S-class student. Although they later learned that he was a student who would fail all his courses and was not worthy of the S-class title, they just let him get by.

Even if he killed the King of Bronze and Fire and the King of Earth and Mountains, there were no eyewitnesses. Who would believe that this loser could have such great power to kill the Dragon King?

All the credit goes to Caesar and Chu Zihang. He paid half the price with his life, yet he's still a good-for-nothing.

"Pain will teach you to face reality," Hyotei said.

Lu Mingfei's lips twitched.

If that's the case, then he has already learned it.

Tianmeng didn't understand Lu Mingfei's personality—he wouldn't listen to reason and only became sensible after being hit—but after all, he wasn't her own child. She could do whatever she wanted with other people's children; as long as he was obedient and could hold out until her own child came back, that was enough.

"Our most important task is still cultivation." With Hyotei in control, Tenmeng continued his plan, "I know it's hard for you to enter a cultivation state, but that's okay. We'll use the simplest method now."

"Memorize the technique until it's second nature, until it becomes second nature. Then I will guide the circulation of your soul power. Once the circulation of soul power becomes a habit in your mind, you will have the opportunity to cultivate automatically."

In fact, Tianmeng still had one last solution: if Lu Mingfei couldn't learn cultivation no matter what, then he would have to take Lu Mingfei's place and use his body to cultivate.

The reason Tianmeng didn't directly take over Huo Yuhao's body and instead made Lu Mingfei stay aside was because she was afraid that Lu Mingfei wouldn't be able to complete the project and Huo Yuhao wouldn't be able to come back.

But if Lu Mingfei is truly useless, Tianmeng will have no choice but to imprison him and become Huo Yuhao herself.

At that time, will Huo Yuhao come back...? He has to come back. If Huo Yuhao doesn't come back, what will happen to his luck? Without luck, Huo Yuhao will never be able to break through level 99 and become a god.

Thinking of this, Tianmeng smiled bitterly to herself.

He and Huo Yuhao have spent a considerable amount of time together, relying on each other for survival. He understands that he has become one of Huo Yuhao's pillars of support, that he is Huo Yuhao's closest confidant, and that he truly cares for Huo Yuhao.

But true feelings ultimately cannot compare to her own and Hyotei's future and lives.

"How despicable..." someone seemed to murmur in Tianmeng's heart.

Those who gather for profit will eventually disperse for profit as well.

With Huo Yuhao around, they were bound together, but without him, this Lu Mingfei, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, looked like a hopeless case.

Tianmeng felt that she might indeed have to make a decision very soon.

Lu Mingfei shuddered inexplicably.

He looked at Tianmeng, a fawning smile on his face: "Um, Brother Tianmeng, what kind of cultivation technique is it?"

Tianmeng gathered her thoughts, released Lu Mingfei from her spiritual sea, then opened Huo Yuhao's storage soul tool, took out the "Mysterious Heaven Skill" manual, and had Lu Mingfei begin to learn it.

As soon as Lu Mingfei started learning, Wang Dong'er snapped out of her chaotic thoughts.

She looked at the manual in Lu Mingfei's hand, thought for a moment, and said to Lu Mingfei, "Yuhao, let me teach you how to cultivate."

Wang Dong'er is also a member of the Tang Clan and has also cultivated the "Mysterious Heaven Skill". Now that Huo Yuhao is starting from scratch, she naturally wants to help him.

Lu Mingfei was worried that he couldn't understand it, so it was great that Wang Dong'er was willing to teach him.

But thinking about Huo Yuhao's relationship with Wang Dong'er, he scratched his head: "Is this a good idea?"

He just offended the person who is suspected to be Wang Dong'er's father to death.
