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

Chapter 138 I've caught a disease that makes me want to laugh whenever I hear the name Tang Sect.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun agreed without hesitation:

"If the Spirit Pagoda still allows me to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, then I will definitely agree."

"Haha, great! It's settled then. Go ask your teacher, and if it's possible, I'll discuss it with you properly once the specific time is announced." Le Zhengyu patted Lu Jun on the shoulder happily.

The two chatted for a few more minutes about the potential dangers and precautions during the Ascension Platform riots, then Lu Jun took his leave, as he still needed to find Wu Changkong to cancel his leave.

Watching Lu Jun's departing figure, Le Zhengyu happily took out the small storage soul tool from his pocket. As he walked back to the dormitory, he habitually probed into it with his mental power, wanting to see what little gadget his junior had given him to express his gratitude.

However, when his mental energy clearly saw the only item in the storage space, his feet suddenly froze on the spot.

His pupils suddenly contracted, his mouth opened wide involuntarily, and the relaxed smile on his face froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief!
"This...this is..."

In the center of the not-so-large storage space, a strange plant enveloped in soft white light floated quietly.

Its entire body is a warm, milky white color, and its shape is like a bird of light about to take flight. Every leaf exudes a pure and warm sacred aura, and its rich vitality and the power of the source of light are almost overflowing through the storage space.

"A ten-thousand-year-old... light-element immortal herb?" Le Zhengyu's voice trembled with extreme shock, and his fingers trembled slightly.

This is a top-tier immortal herb that every Light-type Soul Master dreams of.

It can not only greatly enhance soul power cultivation and cleanse the origin of martial soul, but also greatly enhance affinity and control over the power of light.

Its value is immeasurable in monetary terms, and at auctions, it would be enough to bankrupt countless families of Light-type Soul Masters in their quest for it.

Le Zhengyu suddenly looked up in the direction where Lu Jun had disappeared, then looked down at the inconspicuous little box in his hand, feeling his head buzzing.

"Are all the disciples of the Spirit Pagoda... so arrogant?" Le Zhengyu swallowed hard, his heart pounding. "I helped out... and they just... they directly gave me a ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb as a thank-you gift???"
He felt that Lu Jun had completely shattered his understanding of the concepts of "personal thank-you gift" and "not expensive."

This is no mere thank-you gift; it's a gift that could change his future cultivation path.

Le Zhengyu tightened his grip on the box, looking in the direction Lu Jun had left. His eyes became incredibly complex, filled with shock and ecstasy.

This is something that even their family has a hard time getting their hands on.

……

Afternoon sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows in the spacious rest area of ​​the senior students' section.

The environment here is more solemn than that of the lower grades, and the students coming and going exude a more composed and reserved air, carrying a hint of the confidence of the strong.

Lu Jun sat on a sofa by the window, waiting quietly.

He had barely sat down when a tall, imposing figure strode over – it was Zhao Tianyu.

The captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team that previously competed in the Tianhai Alliance.

He was wearing the uniform of a senior student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The moment Zhao Tianyu saw Lu Jun, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face. He strode forward and spoke in a loud voice:

"Brother Lu, you were looking for me? What a rare guest!" Lu Jun stood up, looking at the captain who had fought alongside him in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition and whose strength now far surpassed his own, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Senior Zhao, it's been a long time. And you're already a Soul King and a One-Word Battle Armor Master. Why are you still calling me Brother Lu like them? Just call me Lord Lu."

Currently, the presence of a Soul King with the power of a One-Word Battle Armor Master is something Lu Jun cannot contend with.

Of course, unless Lu Jun uses his trump card.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to beat Zhao Tianyu now.

Zhao Tianyu laughed heartily, casually sitting down on the sofa opposite Lu Jun, his posture relaxed: "Hey, what's the big deal? Strength is paramount. Although you're young and your soul power level isn't as high as mine yet, your talent, your battle record, and..."

He paused for a moment, lowered his voice, and said with genuine admiration, "When your cultivation reaches the Soul King level, your strength, hey, won't it be unparalleled throughout history? I'll call you 'brother' without hesitation. You're a prominent figure in our academy now, and the teachers often mention you."

"You're just like everyone else's perfect child."

Lu Jun felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and quickly got to the point:

"Senior, I'm here to ask you something. This morning, I just got back to the college and was attacked by three upperclassmen in the corridor."

"What?" Zhao Tianyu's smile vanished instantly, his brows furrowing. "Who dares to launch a sneak attack on us in the academy? Are they hurt?"

His concern seemed genuine, and his eyes sharpened, clearly indicating that he was truly angry.

Lu Jun waved his hand:
"It's alright, those three can't hurt me. One has the Gale Wolf Martial Soul, one has the Fire Tiger Martial Soul, and the other has the Rock Giant Lizard Martial Soul. They're all Soul Master level cultivators. Do you know who they are?"

"Gale Wolf, Fire Tiger, and Rock Giant Lizard?" Zhao Tianyu repeated in a low voice, seemingly recalling something, then suddenly slapped his thigh. "Those three bastards, Zhang Qiang? Damn it, they've really gone too far, daring to touch you?"

"Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll make sure they can't stay in the academy anymore. I'll deduct all their credits, cut off all their resources, and then find a chance to have a few good matches with them. I guarantee they'll learn their lesson!"

His tone was fierce, and he looked like a bully who was going to stand up for Lu Jun.

Lu Jun was both amused and exasperated, and quickly stopped him:
"Senior, stop! The way you're acting makes me sound like some kind of bully. I'm not here to complain and ask you to help me get revenge."

"Huh? Not venting your anger?" Zhao Tianyu was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Then you are...?"

“Their reason for attacking me was quite peculiar.” Lu Jun carefully chose his words. “They claimed to have joined the Tang Sect and received some kind of prophecy from within the Tang Sect, saying that I was a demon who would bring catastrophe to the Douluo Continent, and that I had to be eliminated before I grew up.”

"Pfft..." Zhao Tianyu had just taken a sip of water from the waiter's glass when he heard this and almost spat it out, coughing repeatedly. "Cough cough cough... What the hell? A demon? A prophecy? To get rid of you?"

Then, Zhao Tianyu burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha... Have those three lost their minds? When did the Tang Clan switch to being charlatans and shamans?"

He laughed so hard he almost cried, clearly finding the reason utterly absurd.
