Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 128 Leng Yulai's Martial Soul Evolution?

"How does it feel?"

As soon as Leng Yulai came out, Leng Yaozhu immediately stepped forward and personally supported her arm.

The feeling of it in her hand was much stronger than before, which eased her anxiety a little.

"Much better, sister. I feel like my soul energy channels are clear, and my internal injuries have basically healed."

Leng Yulai nodded, her voice still a little weak, but her strength had increased considerably.

“Lord Tower Master, Your Majesty Dark Phoenix.” A white-haired attending physician respectfully handed over the report, “Your Majesty Dark Phoenix’s recovery is far exceeding expectations.”

"The most dangerous internal organ tremors and soul power backlash injuries seem to have been suppressed and initially repaired very promptly and effectively before they arrived. We detected a large amount of residual medicinal power from top-tier healing pills, including several core ingredients..."

She paused, then continued:

"It is the unique formula of a top-grade elixir that is exclusively supplied to our Spirit Transmission Tower and produced in extremely limited quantities."

"If these top-quality pills hadn't protected my heart meridian and stabilized my injuries beforehand, the subsequent treatment would never have gone so smoothly."

Top-tier pills produced by the Spirit Pagoda?

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai exchanged a glance, both seeing indescribable shock and deeper doubt in each other's eyes.

Everything clicked.

The ultimate ice attribute, coupled with this top-tier elixir accessible only by the Spirit Pagoda...

The direction is too clear.

After the doctor left, only the two sisters remained in the ward.

Leng Yulai leaned back on the hospital bed, her brows furrowed, and said in a low voice:

"The properties of ultimate ice... a top-tier pill produced by the Spirit Pagoda... Sister, these coincidences... are too many."

She felt as if something was blocking her chest, and the shock from that blurry figure became clear again.

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, sat on the edge of the bed, and held her sister's slightly cool hand:

"It's too early to draw conclusions; this is too absurd. Let's go ask him together..."

Before she could finish speaking, a delicate communication device on her body began to vibrate rapidly.

Leng Yaozhu took it out and saw that it was information from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

She quickly glanced at it, her expression shifting from serious to astonished, then revealing a helpless, wry smile:

"Ha...that's good, we can't get any information from them now."

"What's wrong, sister?" Leng Yulai's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

"It's about Lu Jun." Leng Yaozhu turned the communicator screen towards her sister.

"After undergoing practical training with instructor Wu Changkong at the academy, he seemed to have an epiphany and immediately fell into a deep meditative state."

"Wu Changkong is personally protecting us now, and it has been going on for several hours. Wu Changkong also has teaching duties and other work, so he cannot stay there for a long time."

"The academy has requested that our Spirit Pagoda see if we can arrange for someone to go and take over as the protector, so that his deep meditation can be undisturbed."

Leng Yulai: "..."

She was stunned for several seconds before she could process this information.

Save her? Or engage in deep meditation?

How could these two words be applied to the same person in such a short period of time?
The logic was so absurd that she wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

A complex smile, a mixture of absurdity, bewilderment, and even a hint of defeat, curved her lips: "You mean... after saving me in Maple Leaf City, he instantly returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a thousand miles away, completely unharmed?"

"Then, in a practical class, he fought a Contra instructor to a standstill, and finally... he went into deep meditation on the spot?"

This sounds like some bizarre, legendary story fragments forcibly pieced together.

"...This is the information the academy currently has." Leng Yaozhu's tone was also full of uncertainty, "It feels...maybe...it really isn't him?"

"Or perhaps, the Lu Jun we see is not the one we understand?"

The thought sent a chill down her spine.

Leng Yulai fell silent, her gaze fixed on the bustling night view of Mingdu outside the window, her thoughts flickering and chaotic like the neon lights outside.

What is the truth?
Who was the person who saved her?

What is Lu Jun hiding?
All of this seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog once again as Lu Jun suddenly entered a deep meditation.

"But in any case, the person who saved me must possess the power of a divine artifact."

Leng Yulai couldn't help but say.

"After that person saved me, the celestial phenomena of Maple Leaf City were changed by some kind of force. It seemed as if some force overflowed and changed the environment of Maple Leaf City..."

“It seems that’s true.” Leng Yaozhu nodded. “A person who can control a divine artifact that even Huo Yuhao’s ancestor couldn’t find ten thousand years ago must be unfathomable.”

A brief silence fell over the ward once again.

Leng Yulai seemed to remember something; she closed her eyes slightly and looked inward.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, a hint of confusion and uncertainty in her eyes, and said to Leng Yaozhu:

"Sister, there's something else that's strange. I feel... my body, especially my martial soul's origin... seems to have undergone some changes after being baptized by the power of extreme ice."

"Changes?" Leng Yaozhu immediately looked at her with concern.

"Hmm." Leng Yulai stretched out her hand, palm up, and a wisp of extremely condensed black flame with a deep and dark luster quietly leaped out. This flame seemed to have less of the violent ferocity of the past and more of a restrained purity and high temperature.

"My Dark Phoenix Martial Soul... that originally violent, mixed, and even slightly corrosive negative aura mixed in with the Dark Flame... seems to have been forcibly tempered and purified by that extreme icy power?"

"I can sense that the core properties of the flame seem... closer to the essence of the ultimate flame? Although it's still very faint, it feels as if the dark flame has been stripped of its impurities and is evolving towards some higher form of flame?"

This conclusion made Leng Yaozhu gasp sharply, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

She abruptly stood up, staring intently at the wisp of black flame in her sister's palm that seemed to contain an even more terrifying heat, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly:

"The essence of a martial spirit is purified by external forces... evolving to a higher level?"

"This situation...it's almost...similar to the situation of Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Phoenix, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils 20,000 years ago!"

"His Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul ultimately evolved into the ultimate fire martial soul through immortal herbs and his own efforts."

Leng Yaozhu gripped her sister's shoulders:

“Yu Lai, if… if the flames of your Dark Phoenix Martial Soul can truly be continuously purified, removing the negative and impurities of the dark attribute, and ultimately sublimated… perhaps it can truly become an unprecedented, ultimate fire that combines the depths of darkness with extreme heat.”
