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

Chapter 134 The Continental Rankings, Tang San's Powerful Hand, and the Low-Key Spirit Pagoda
The latest rankings for the Mainland China Popularity Chart have been released:

The undisputed pillar of strength is Yunming.

The second place goes to Chen Xinjie, the highest-ranking officer in the Federal Army.

To Lu Jun's surprise, the third place went to Cao Dezhi.

And then, something even more unexpected happened.

The fourth place goes to Niu Tian, ​​the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, who is a level 99 Limit Douluo Quasi-God and also a four-word Battle Armor Master.

The fifth-ranked member is Titan, the vice sect master of the Haotian Sect. He is a level 99 Limit Douluo Quasi-God and also a standard four-word Battle Armor Master.

The sixth-ranked member is Yu Yuanzu, the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. He is a level 99 Limit Douluo Quasi-God and is equipped with a standard four-word Battle Armor Master.

Lu Jun was speechless:
"Great, great, they're not even acting anymore, Tang San's big hand is still going strong."

"The two priests, Niu Tian and Titan, are still in the Haotian Sect. This is definitely one of the methods that Tang San has set up."

"As for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, they seem to have been strengthened as well. Is it because of their close relationship with Shrek Academy? In addition, they ambushed Leng Yulai with the Tang Sect last time, so they are probably also working with Shrek Academy."

"No wonder. With so many forces combined, even the Spirit Pagoda, which is combined with the original members of the Holy Spirit Cult, would be overwhelmed."

Lu Jun looked down but still couldn't see anyone from the Spirit Pagoda. The seventh person was actually Zang Xin.

It wasn't until the eighth place that it came to Hades Douluo Harosa of the Spirit Pagoda, a four-word Battle Armor Master.

According to the above information, Harosa also had a serious conflict with Yunming.

Lu Jun immediately started searching for it, just like watching a drama unfold.

The specific situation is that Yun Ming's teacher, who was also the previous head of the Sea God Pavilion, could not stand the existence of an evil martial soul like Hades Douluo Halosa. Even though he had never harmed anyone, he still threatened to kill Halosa.

As is well known, Harosa is an unconventional chosen one of this era. He can be said to be the spokesperson for maintaining the balance of the Douluo plane. Thus, he had a great battle with Yun Ming's teacher. In the end, Yun Ming's teacher was no match for him and died at Harosa's hands.

From this point on, the conflict between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy deepened, and Yun Ming even spread the word that he would avenge his teacher and make Harosa pay for his blood debt in this lifetime.

Harosa seemed speechless at the master and disciple duo. Although his martial soul was evil, he hadn't done many heinous things in his life, yet he was still being attacked by the righteous. So he decisively began to retire, silently hiding in the shadows, fighting to protect the Douluo plane.

It wasn't until the events in Maple Leaf City that he was brought out of the woods, and he still managed to overpower all other forces.

"...I feel like I'm getting more and more obsessed."

After finishing his melon-eating, Lu Jun continued to look at the Mainland Popularity Chart.

The ninth one is Qian Gu Dong Feng, the master of the Spirit Pagoda.

Lu Jun's gaze swept back and forth between eighth-ranked Harosa and ninth-ranked Qian Gu Dongfeng, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

"Pfft hahaha..."

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, which aggravated his weakened body and caused him to cough.

"Ahem, as everyone knows, the Continental Popularity Ranking is compiled by the Spirit Pagoda itself..."

Lu Jun coughed and complained at the same time.

"This level of 'water' is enough to drown a Title Douluo! Tower Master of the Eternal Ages, you've ranked the Underworld King Douluo, who can rival Yun Ming, ahead of you, and only ranked him eighth... Isn't this being a bit too modest? It's just a cover-up."

He could easily imagine Qian Gu Dong Feng's mindset when compiling this list:
We can't be too ostentatious, and we can't rank Harosa too high, otherwise the Spirit Pagoda will seem too threatening and easily become a target of public criticism. But we can't rank it too low either, or it will seem too fake and arouse suspicion.

One person ahead of me, eighth place, perfect.

It demonstrates both the profound heritage of the Spirit Pagoda and a reasonable, understated approach.

"This list... might fool ordinary Soul Masters, but which big power with a brain would believe it?"

Lu Jun shook his head and chuckled. However, this also indirectly confirmed the strategy of the Spirit Pagoda to hide its strength, as well as the terrifying true combat power of Hades Douluo Halosa. The fact that Qian Gu Dongfeng was willing to rank him ahead of himself already explained everything.

"It seems that the waters are much deeper than I imagined if I want to grow stronger in this era..."

Lu Jun put down the communicator and rubbed his still slightly dizzy forehead.

"The world is still too complicated in this era. It's best not to reveal your identity easily," he muttered to himself, temporarily suppressing the shock brought by the list.

The most urgent task is to restore and enhance our strength.

And then there's the matter of surviving.

Once he has steadily cultivated to the seventh ring, he will have the ability to protect himself.

Seven days later.

Lu Jun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Before him, a crystal-clear eight-pointed ice grass floated, emanating a pure and chilling aura of ice.

Leng Yulai stood to the side, her expression focused. Her powerful mental energy, like the most precise shield, enveloped Lu Jun, ensuring that the absorption process was not disturbed in any way.

Guided by Lu Jun's soul power, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass transformed into an incomparably pure ice-blue torrent, slowly flowing into his body.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, only a feeling as if the extreme cold had thoroughly cleansed and tempered the flesh, bones, meridians, and soul.

His Ice Abyss Sword Martial Soul emitted a pleasant chirping sound in his spiritual sea, but it did not produce a qualitative leap as he had imagined. Perhaps it was because the Ice Abyss Sword itself seemed to be of extremely high status, and this immortal herb was more of an embellishment, providing Lu Jun with only the energy contained in a 100,000-year-old immortal herb.

Before absorbing it, he specifically checked it with the Ice Abyss Sword, and there was nothing wrong with the immortal herb.

However, the greatest gain from absorbing this immortal herb was that Kuku's soul power level, which had been delayed for half a year by deep meditation and had made almost no progress, began to rise under the impact of this massive and pure energy.

An even stronger and more solid aura erupted from Lu Jun's body. Although it appeared somewhat weak because his body had not fully recovered, his realm as a four-ring Soul Master was genuine.

His soul is at the ten-thousand-year level and can provide four soul rings.

Upon reaching the Soul Master level, Lu Jun encountered no bottlenecks and directly advanced to level forty-one, with four black soul rings rising up.

Lu Jun slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging soul power within his body. He let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief appearing on his face.

This can be considered as making up for the lack of progress in soul power over the past six months.

"Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Soul Master level." Leng Yulai said, "Although your soul power level has increased rapidly, your soul power foundation has become much more solid. This immortal herb has been put to good use."

"An eleven-year-old Soul Master, with an ultimate attribute Martial Soul, has greatly reduced your cultivation speed. If it weren't for that, I really can't imagine how far you could have gone."

"Thank you for protecting me, Aunt." Lu Jun stood up and bowed solemnly to Leng Yulai.
