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

Chapter 151 Yue Zhengyu's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

In the following days, three miserable figures could always be seen sweating profusely in the central square of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Xie Xie and Long Chen wielded specially made soul-guided brooms, which were several times heavier than ordinary brooms, supposedly at Wu Changkong's special request.

But they still diligently swept up the fallen leaves and dust, their expressions as distressed as if they had just finished a thesis defense.

Meanwhile, Yue Zhengyu helped push the heavy garbage collection truck. Although he was only assisting for a week, he was exhausted by the physical labor.

"I said... the academy clearly has fully automated cleaning robots," Long Chen complained as he swept, "this is purely a torture method devised by Teacher Wu!"

"Be content with what you have." Xie Xie panted heavily, subconsciously lowering his voice, "I heard that at Shrek Academy, the punishment is really making people carry huge brooms and sweep by hand, which can exhaust them to the point of collapse. At least we have soul tools to help us reduce the weight here!"

Long Chen was shocked: "Really? Shrek Academy is a famous institution, after all. Could it be that they can't even afford to clean their soul tools?"

"Shh, you better keep your voice down. If some Shrek Academy fanatics hear you, they'll post you online and then cyberbully you, and give you a real 'unboxing feast' (a euphemism for a serious online attack)." Xie Xie looked scared, and his body trembled.

"It won't work if you pretend to have depression then."

"...This is getting more and more terrifying, isn't it? Is Shrek Academy some kind of brainwashing religion? They even have fanatics?"

"Of course, it's guaranteed." Le Zhengyu burst out laughing and pointed to the sky. "Don't forget, Shrek Academy has been known for its divine inspiration."

"What's so special about mere religious brainwashing?"

“That’s true.” Long Chen suddenly realized.

Le Zhengyu wiped his sweat, looking at the two boys who were a few years younger than him but had amazing talent, and he was filled with emotion and shock.

After spending the last few days with him, he truly saw the true nature of the monsters surrounding Lu Jun.

Long Chen, eleven years old, a level thirty-seven Soul Master, known as the Holy Dragon, ranked fourteenth on the list of genius teenagers.

Xie Xie, eleven years old, a level thirty-five Soul Master, known as the Twin Dragons, ranked seventeenth on the list of genius teenagers.

And then there are those two girls, Xu Xiaoyan, eleven years old, level thirty-two, known as Starlight, thirtieth on the list of genius teenagers.

Gu Yuena, eleven years old, level thirty-nine, known as the Silver Dragon, ninth on the list of genius teenagers.

These are simply a bunch of little monsters! And because Lu Jun took the lead in curling his hair, these little guys followed suit and started curling their hair too.

They've all been added to the list of child prodigies.

Le Zhengyu clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although he is about to break through to the Soul Master level and can make the list, these are all eleven-year-old peers, and the worst one is ranked thirtieth.

No wonder everyone outside is saying that this year's Class 1 of the middle grades is the strongest class in the history of the academy.

It truly lives up to its reputation.

In the middle grades, everyone was either a Soul Master or a Great Soul Master, and they had already reached the Soul Venerable level.

Making it onto the list of child prodigies is a piece of cake.

Moreover, with Lu Jun leading them, these guys were all incredibly energetic in their cultivation, vying to be reincarnated and work hard to cultivate.

Moreover, they are all quite well-known within the college.

Thinking about this, Le Zhengyu considered his own situation.

He's already fourteen years old, but he's only at level forty. He only got there because of Lu Jun's immortal herbs, so naturally he can't make it onto the list of genius teenagers.

If these kids continue to play like this, by the time they're fourteen, they'll probably all be at least level forty-one.

It seems I need to step up my game and get back to work.

I am the most outstanding genius of the Angel Family, how can I be slower than them?

While cleaning, Le Zhengyu habitually weighed the pros and cons.

As a member of a large family, weighing the pros and cons and calculating gains and losses has almost become instinctive.

However, his time with Xie Xie and Long Chen these past few days has given him a long-lost sense of ease and purity.

These two guys are as innocent as blank sheets of paper; their joys and sorrows are written all over their faces. They treat each other with sincerity and have no ulterior motives whatsoever.

Although the way we met was quite comical...

Just thinking about that blunder made Le Zhengyu's lips twitch. However, this carefree, playful way of getting along made him genuinely happy and cherish it.

Recruiting these geniuses and developing them into our own small team of Soul Masters wouldn't be a bad idea!
After all, they are all geniuses.

A thought struck Yue Zhengyu, and he stopped pushing the cart, calling out to the two of them:

"Hey, Xie Xie, Long Chen."

"What's wrong, Senior Yue? Are you tired?"

Long Chen raised his head.

"The riot period at the Spirit Ascension Platform is coming soon this year. Are you interested in forming a team with me?" Le Zhengyu said with a smile, extending an olive branch.

"Team up?" Xie Xie's eyes lit up instantly, his fatigue vanishing. "Of course, Senior Le! With you, a prospective Soul Master, leading the way, we might be able to roam freely on the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform."

Long Chen nodded repeatedly:
"No problem, Senior Le, please carry me."

"Hahaha." Le Zhengyu put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly. "I'm afraid you've misunderstood a fact. This time, we're not going to a place like the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform to dominate."

"Where are we going?" Long Chen and Xie Xie exchanged a puzzled look.

"Of course it's the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform!" Le Zhengyu waved his hand, exuding confidence. "This time, I've invited Junior Brother Lu Jun to team up with us, so the real powerhouse isn't me, it's him, understand?"

"Wow, Brother Lu is leading the team?" Xie Xie was so excited he almost dropped his broom, his eyes shining. "We're going to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform again? Then this chance to raise our soul spirit's age to nearly ten thousand years is practically guaranteed! Long live Brother Lu!"

Long Chen was so excited that he danced with joy, as if he could already see the ten-thousand-year soul ring beckoning to him:

"Just last year, Brother Lu led me to sweep through the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform, managing to build up my soul to a thousand years. That scene is still vivid in my mind! And this time he's actually going to lead me to ten thousand years? Wahaha, long live Brother Lu!"

"Hey, hey, hey." Le Zhengyu crossed his arms, raised his chin, and pretended to be dissatisfied. "Don't forget that I'm the one who brought Lu Jun in. You guys, while you're thanking Lu Jun, don't forget to thank me for being the matchmaker."

"Long live Senior Yue!"

Xie Xie and Long Chen immediately cheered in unison, creating a lively atmosphere.

Just then, a clear, cold voice broke in:

"You guys, don't forget, you're not allowed to go anywhere until this area is completely swept today."

The three turned their heads and saw Lu Jun standing with his arms crossed, leaning against a stone pillar not far away, looking at them with a faint smile on his lips.

"Hey, Brother Lu." Long Chen immediately leaned over and said with a silly smile, "Senior Yue is discussing with us about forming a team to go to the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period. That's awesome."

"Oh, right, Mr. Lu," Le Zhengyu said with a smile as he walked over, "And Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan, let's call them over too?"

"Many hands make light work, and it'll be lively! I'll cover all the tickets during the riot period."

The image of Xu Xiaoyan's playful and adorable figure subconsciously appeared in his mind.

Although Gu Yuena was indeed very beautiful, he could say she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Even he, a member of a prominent family, had never seen such a beautiful woman.

However, as a disciple of a large family, keen insight is extremely important.

From the day they met, Le Zhengyu could tell at a glance that there was something going on between Gu Yuena and Lu Jun.

Moreover, Gu Yuena, this icy beauty, cares deeply about Lu Jun.

It's obviously a secret.

So, although Gu Yuena is a stunning beauty that hasn't been seen in a million years, judging from Le Zhengyu's discerning eye, she's not someone he can handle.

It's even less suitable for him.

On the contrary...

Xu Xiaoyan would be a good match for him.

If I could win her over...

uh-huh.

Thinking of this, Le Zhengyu's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
