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

Chapter 164 Lu Jun: What tactics do you want? Tell my Ice Abyss Sword!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for the Spirit Transmission Tower's twice-yearly Spirit Ascension Platform energy surge period.

This is the golden period for Soul Masters to acquire Soul Spirit Age and hone their combat skills, and the young elites of various forces are already eager to get started.

The sun shone brightly in front of the gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were already waiting there, with a tall, handsome young man standing beside them. He had dazzling blond hair and an air of holiness and pride. He was their senior, Le Zhengyu, who was a year ahead of them.

"Boss, over here!" Xie Xie, with his sharp eyes, spotted Tang Wulin jogging over from afar and quickly waved.

Tang Wulin looked somewhat travel-worn, with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Sorry, sorry, something came up at the forging site and I was delayed."

"It's okay, we just arrived too." Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly.

Xie Xie immediately introduced them: "Boss, this is Senior Yue Zhengyu, with the Holy Angel Martial Soul, he's amazing! Senior, this is our boss, Tang Wulin."

"Oh?"

Le Zhengyu's gaze fell on Tang Wulin with scrutiny and a hint of curiosity.

This freshman, whom Xie Xie was willing to call "boss," clearly piqued his interest.

He nodded slightly as a greeting, then, as if remembering something, looked at Xie Xie with a slight smile:
"You call him 'boss'? I thought you'd made your decision for Lu Jun."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately straightened his back and spoke with unwavering resolve:

"Heh, I'm used to calling him 'boss'! But for me, once I've chosen a boss, he's a boss for life!"

His eyes were open and honest, without the slightest hesitation or wavering. Clearly, in his mind, Tang Wulin and Lu Jun were leaders on different levels.

One represents past friendship and recognition, while the other represents following and acknowledging the strong; they are not contradictory.

Tang Wulin was a little embarrassed by his straightforward words, scratched his head, and gave Le Zhengyu a friendly smile:

"Hello, Senior Le, I've long admired your name."

Le Zhengyu waved his hand, seemingly having a good impression of Tang Wulin:

"You're too kind. Let's go, don't keep Lu Jun and Gu Yuena waiting. They should be waiting for us at the Spirit Pagoda."

"Alright." Without further delay, the group immediately headed towards the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

Inside the special entrance hall of the Spirit Tower headquarters, leading to the advanced Spirit Ascension Platform, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Leng Yaozhu was standing in front of Lu Jun at this moment, her usually stunning face now filled with seriousness.

The powerful aura caused the Spirit Pagoda staff passing by to instinctively take a detour.

“Therefore, developing your own Soul Master team, making like-minded friends, and expanding your network are extremely important.” Leng Yaozhu’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried undeniable weight. Her gaze fell on Lu Jun. “Your teacher supports you, but…”

She abruptly changed the subject, her tone becoming much stronger:

"If you encounter any major problems again when you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform this time, like last time, then I really, really will forbid you from ever stepping into the Spirit Ascension Platform again."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu rubbed her temples, as if recalling some unpleasant incident, her tone filled with helplessness and doubt:
"I'm starting to suspect that you're cursed with some kind of Spirit Ascension Platform killer aura. You know, since the last time you went in, and then that accident that broke out, the entire intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform has been malfunctioning and completely unusable. It was only recently that the staff of the Spirit Transfer Tower worked overtime and consumed a huge amount of resources to completely repair and stabilize the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Do you understand the seriousness of the situation?

"If you cause any trouble inside this time, you're never allowed to go in again!"

Leng Yaozhu repeated this sentence again, which shows their attitude.

The reason is that something bad always seems to happen as soon as Lu Jun goes in, which has made them all a bit neurotic.

Lu Jun stood before Leng Yaozhu, as obedient as a quail, nodding repeatedly with utmost sincerity:

"Yes, yes, teacher, I understand, but please believe me, there will definitely be no problems this time!"

Well, probably.

Surely he can't really be some kind of Ascension Platform killer?

That's incredibly unlucky. "Don't speak so absolutely, or you might jinx it."

Leng Yaozhu rolled her eyes, clearly not so easily reassured. She turned to look at Gu Yuena, who was standing quietly beside her, her tone softening slightly, carrying a sense of entrustment:
"Nana, keep an eye on him. This kid agrees quickly, but who knows if he'll go wild once he's inside."

Gu Yuena glanced at Lu Jun with her cool eyes and replied indifferently:
"Don't worry, teacher, I will."

With Gu Yuena's assurance, Leng Yaozhu's tense expression relaxed slightly, and her captivating smile returned. She patted Lu Jun on the shoulder:

"Alright, go ahead and do your best."

After saying that, she didn't linger. She turned and left gracefully, leaving behind a silhouette that left much to the imagination.

Only after Leng Yaozhu's figure disappeared around the corner did Le Zhengyu walk over with Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and Xu Xiaoyan.

Le Zhengyu looked in the direction Leng Yaozhu had left, his eyes filled with amazement and admiration:
"My God, was that the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo just now? The legendary four-word Battle Armor Master, one of the pillars of the Spirit Pagoda. Just standing in front of her, I felt like I couldn't breathe properly."

"Lu Jun, your teacher is just so...so charismatic!"

Lu Jun smiled, said nothing more, and simply waved several metal cards in his hand that were flashing with special soul-guiding runes:
"Alright, we have the tickets. Let's go in."

Just then, Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, his voice tinged with caution and humility:

"Um... Brother Lu Jun, Sister Gu Yue, Senior Le...shouldn't we discuss our tactical coordination and formation arrangements once we're inside?"

"After all, there are many soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period, and the energy is violent. Not to mention that this time we are going to enter the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, and there are many soul masters who are more advanced than us forming a team. We are basically no match for them."

This was the first time he had teamed up with Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, two top geniuses in the academy whose strength was unfathomable.

I felt both excited and apprehensive. With a learning attitude, I felt that to be on the safe side, I should plan ahead first.

However, as soon as he said that, the entire group fell silent.

Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Le Zhengyu all focused their gazes on Lu Jun almost simultaneously.

Lu Jun seemed to be stunned for a moment under everyone's gaze:
"Tactics? Formation?"

He glanced around at everyone, then very naturally and frankly shrugged:

"Well... I really hadn't thought about that."

He paused, then added in a tone as if stating a basic fact that the sun rises in the east:
"Anyway, once we're inside, we'll just crush everything in our path. Tactics... I guess we don't really need them, right?"

"..."

Silence enveloped this corner of the entrance hall.

Tang Wulin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't utter a single word, leaving only a blank and bewildered expression on his face.

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan exchanged a glance, then covered their faces in unison, with expressions that said, "I knew this would happen."

Le Zhengyu's lips twitched violently a few times. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to complain about something, but then he remembered that he was one of those who had been crushed by Lu Jun in the intermediate spirit ascension platform last time.

That was when I truly felt what it meant to say "Go talk to my Ice Abyss Sword".

what?
I thought it was just the feeling of speed bumps.

And so, all of Yue Zhengyu's words were ultimately reduced to a sigh, squeezed out from the depths of his throat, filled with a sense of powerlessness.

This guy……

It's really perverted!

This complete disregard for the rules and the riot at the Spirit Ascension Platform is nothing. This confidence, or rather arrogance, has simply pushed the boundaries of their understanding of power!

Gu Yuena stood beside Lu Jun, her face still expressionless, displaying a calmness that she had long been accustomed to.
