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

Chapter 133 Leng Yulai's Test
"Um, I was bored, so I was surfing the internet and saw something about Maple Leaf City." Lu Jun tilted the screen slightly so that the two of them could look at it together.

Leng Yulai glanced at the report, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips:

"Ah, as expected. If we can't find the source and can't explain it, we can only attribute it to natural phenomena or unknown energy."

"It caused quite a stir half a year ago, with all the major forces mobilizing their forces, but in the end, they all slunk away and went back to their own homes without even uttering a decent fart."

Lu Jun swiped the screen and, sure enough, saw the follow-up report, which confirmed Leng Yulai's words.

The Tang Clan, the War God Temple, the Spirit Pagoda, the Shrek Academy Inspection Team, and other forces conducted a comprehensive search of Maple Leaf City for several months, using various high-end detection soul tools and even enlisting the help of several powerful experts skilled in tracking and deduction, but ultimately they found nothing.

Aside from confirming that the force did indeed exist and was incredibly powerful, there has been no substantial progress.

The major powers had no choice but to back down, leaving behind a mess and a city full of confused residents.

"Half a year has already passed..." Lu Jun looked at the date on the report and sighed once again at the passage of time.

He subconsciously checked his soul power level, which was level thirty-seven and remained unchanged.

This deep meditation... its effects are really unbalanced.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Tsk, this feels like a huge loss. Half a year! With normal cultivation, you should have reached the Soul Master level by now..."

But when he thought of his transformed sword intent, his spiritual power that had broken through to the Spirit Abyss Realm, and his newfound control over the ultimate ice, that little bit of disappointment immediately vanished.

"But...it doesn't seem like a loss?"

His subtle changes in expression and muttering did not escape Leng Yulai's notice.

Her alluring eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly spoke, her tone tinged with amusement and probing:

"You...you really don't know anything?"

coming.

Are you going to question me?
A slight alarm bell rang in Lu Jun's heart, but he maintained a blank and weak expression. He raised his head and looked at Leng Yulai with an innocent expression:
"Huh? What are you referring to, Aunt? Is there something I should know?"

He skillfully changed the subject:
"By the way, Aunt, didn't you say half a year ago that you were going to Maple Leaf City to make a deal with the Tang Clan? How did it go? Did you get the goods?"

Leng Yulai stared at him for a few seconds, and there was no trace of pretense on the boy's pale face.

Especially his eyes, so clear that there was not a single flaw.

She remained silent for a moment, seemingly judging the truthfulness of his words, and finally, the probing light deep in her eyes subsided slightly.

"The transaction went relatively smoothly."

As Leng Yulai spoke, she flipped her wrist, and a jade box radiating a gentle chill appeared in her hand.

The jade box was opened, and inside lay a crystal-clear, octagonal grass, as if carved from ice crystals—the very same Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass.

The rich ice-attribute energy and pure life force instantly filled the ward, invigorating Lu Jun's spirits.

"This is the immortal herb that the Tang Sect gave you." Leng Yulai handed the jade box to Lu Jun. "Our Spirit Transmission Tower has personally inspected it, at least a dozen times, in great detail, to ensure that the Tang Sect has not done anything tampering with it, nor left any tracking marks or hidden dangers. You can use it with peace of mind."

Lu Jun took the jade box, its coolness causing a pleasant resonance within his body, even to his ultimate ice martial soul.

He nodded solemnly and carefully put the jade box into his storage soul tool.

“However…” Leng Yulai reminded him seriously, “Don’t even think about absorbing it now. Your body is as weak as a piece of paper, and you can barely even circulate your soul power.” “This immortal herb has a domineering power. If you absorb it now, it’s no different from suicide. You should rest for at least another week and wait until your body’s vitality has recovered to about 70-80% before you try.”

Lu Jun knew she was telling the truth, and quickly replied:
"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Aunt. I won't do anything reckless."

Seeing that his face was still pale and his breath was weak, Leng Yulai knew that now was not the time to delve into the truth of that night in Maple Leaf City.

She stood up and straightened her clothes:
"Alright, you should get some rest. Don't surf the internet too much, it's too much of a strain on your mind. I'm leaving."

"Take care, Auntie." Lu Jun watched her leave.

The ward fell silent again.

Lu Jun leaned against the headboard, but did not rest immediately.

Leng Yulai's probing just now confirmed one thing for him: she had not reported her role in the Maple Leaf City incident to the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda.

Otherwise, the person sitting by his bedside today wouldn't be Leng Yulai, but rather the Spirit Pagoda enforcement team or various top experts watching him.

Fortunately, Leng Yulai didn't say anything, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to have any peace.

Lu Jun thought to himself, picked up the communicator again, and this time he searched for the keyword "Maple Leaf City Incident Follow-up".

Soon, more information came into view.

Six months ago, after the energy eruption in Maple Leaf City, various forces gathered, and the situation became extremely tense and chaotic.

The conflict was almost imminent when, at that moment, the rarely seen top expert of the Spirit Pagoda, Hades Douluo Harosa, suddenly appeared.

The report was rather vague, only stating that Harosa appeared with absolute dominance, and with his unfathomable strength and the immense deterrent power of the Spirit Tower, he quickly quelled the friction and chaos caused by the various forces vying for the right to investigate.

He was like an insurmountable iceberg, standing in the way of all forces, forcing all those who were originally eager to act to calm down.

Ultimately, this led to the joint investigation, which, of course, ended in failure.

"Halosa, the Hades Douluo..." Lu Jun pondered the name. In the original story, he was the strongest member of the Holy Spirit Cult, even stronger than the Ghost Emperor.

This guy is the chosen one of the plane's destiny. In the original story, because humans wantonly disrupted the balance of the plane, he was created by the plane to slaughter humans in order to control the human population.

I think so, that's what he guessed.

It seems that even after joining the Spirit Pagoda, the current Hades Douluo's strength remains unfathomable.

His actions were not only to quell the chaos, but also to declare to the entire continent that the Spirit Pagoda still possessed the top-tier power to suppress everything.

This incident further shrouded the already lofty status of the Spirit Pagoda in the Soul Master world in a mysterious and powerful aura, making all forces even more wary of it.

"The Spirit Pagoda, though unassuming, is indeed powerful," Lu Jun remarked.

He immediately thought of a list: the Mainland Popularity Ranking.

This is a ranking list of top-tier powerhouses compiled by the information agency under the Spirit Pagoda, and is considered the most authoritative.

He immediately searched for the rankings of the Mainland Popularity Chart on his communicator.
