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

Chapter 214 gave Qian Gu Dong Feng a boost, making him a super hero.
"what--!!!"

Upon realizing that he had actually cried, Qian Gu Zhangting let out a low growl like a trapped beast, and suddenly raised his hand to wipe the wetness from his face, as if to erase this stain on his life.

Unable to endure this hellish situation any longer, he turned around abruptly, almost shoving aside the guards blocking his way with both hands and feet, and scrambling through the crowd as if being chased by a raging flood, rushing towards the soul-guided car parked not far away without looking back.

The car door was roughly pulled open and slammed shut. The soul-guided engine roared, and the car shot off like an arrow, leaving behind a mess and countless astonished, disdainful, and even pitying gazes.

……

Almost at the same time that Qian Gu Zhangting fled the scene, the complete footage of this love-seeking farce that took place at the entrance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had been captured by high-definition soul-guided recorders from countless angles and quickly uploaded to the largest soul network forum on the mainland.

The title is extremely eye-catching:

[Breaking news! The young master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Zhangting, at the Sun and Moon Academy, woos the Silver Dragon Gu Yuena, only to be mercilessly crushed by the top-ranked Lu Jun! He breaks down in tears on the spot!]

Stripped of his family's glory, what is he really? The young master of a once-powerful family is subjected to soul-searching questions that leave him questioning his very existence!

[A memorable scene! When the number one genius meets a true god, Qian Gu Zhangting: He's too lazy to even lift a finger to hit me!]

The video was widely shared, edited, and accompanied by various poignant comments and emojis.

This caused an instant explosion in comments, with public opinion almost unanimously leaning towards Lu Jun.

"Holy crap, Lu Shen is awesome! Is his mouth blessed? Every word is a critical hit!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Qian Gu Zhangting's expression, from being determined to doubting life to bursting into tears, is definitely the best meme of the year!"

"Lu Shen is absolutely right. Without the Qian Gu family, who would he be? The number one genius of the Spirit Pagoda? That's way too much of a stretch."

"Even if Lu Shen achieved his current success because of his ultimate martial soul, that's not something a scion of a powerful family could say."

"If an ordinary disciple said that to Lu Shen, I think Lu Shen, given his personality, wouldn't say anything, right? How could a disciple from a prestigious family be qualified to say such a thing?"

"Exactly, exactly. Lu Shen isn't from a big family. He only got his current status because of his martial soul and talent, which caught the eye of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. How can a genius like him, who got his position entirely by relying on the resources of a big family, have the nerve to say that?"

"Furthermore, a Soul Emperor who's almost twenty, unable to win over a girl, wants to beat up a twelve-year-old Soul Master. Have some shame! Is this all the young master of the Spirit Pagoda has to offer?"

"Silver Dragon Goddess did a great job! That flower-throwing was so satisfying and powerful!"

"Tsk tsk, the Qian Gu family's face has been rubbed into the ground by their own young master this time... I feel sorry for old man Qian Gu Dongfeng for a second."

"More than a second? I think even the stocks inside the Spirit Pagoda will drop. The intelligence of this heir... is worrying!"

"I mean, you guys are going way too far with your bandwagoning, aren't you? I really don't think Lu Jun is that amazing. You keep calling him God Lu. Anyone who didn't know better would think Lu Jun saved Douluo Star. You've confused a bunch of kids."

"The person upstairs, you're so clever. You just have to show off your uniqueness. I came to join in the fun and got called a kid. It's really speechless."

"Don't put it too harshly. He just has a rebuttal personality. He's like a child himself, but he insists that everyone else is like him. He's always criticizing everything and everyone, nitpicking, and when it comes to being lenient with himself but strict with others, no one can beat him."

"God Lu? I think you're all about to become his dogs. I really don't understand why someone like him can be popular. Isn't he just pure trash? So many resources are being poured into him. If it were me, my cultivation would increase faster than his. Pshaw."

"Indeed, with this Extreme Ice Martial Soul, even a dog could take off if it were given it. There's nothing to brag about. If it were me, with all these resources, do you believe I could reach Soul Emperor by the age of twelve? (laughs)"

As the discussion gained traction, some praised Lu Jun, but it also attracted more criticism.

However, the main reason is that Lu Jun's image has been forcibly elevated by people online once again.

Although Lu Jun himself was unaware of and did not wish for things to turn out this way, he had never even posted a single word online.

But it still turned out like this.

After all, the internet always seems to create gods for others out of thin air.

Because of his own stupidity, Qian Gu Zhang Ting became nothing more than a background character and a negative example, which also tarnished the reputation of the Qian Gu family.

The fact that the family has produced such a frivolous and easily defeated heir raises questions about their historical foundation and vision.

This is modern society, and online public opinion is also a weapon.

...The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, the tower master's office on the highest floor.

The air pressure inside the office was so low it was suffocating.

On the expensive carpet, there were scattered broken jade paperweights and fragments of documents.

Qian Gu Dongfeng stood with his back to the door, hands behind his back, gazing at the bustling Mingdu outside the window. His broad shoulders were taut, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Grandpa..." The office door was pushed open, and Qian Gu Zhangting, who had been called up by his grandfather, walked in looking lost and dejected, his face still bearing traces of tears and endless grievances.

He felt as if he had found his only support, and a bellyful of pent-up bitterness was about to burst forth.

"You don't know about that Mr. Lu..."

"Shut up!"

A thunderous shout echoed through the spacious office.

Qian Gu Dongfeng suddenly turned around, his usually dignified and refined face now twisted and flushed with rage, his eyes blazing like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

The powerful pressure of the Limit Douluo spread uncontrollably, causing Qian Gu Zhangting's knees to buckle and almost causing him to kneel on the ground.

"The Eternal Pavilion!!"

The voice of Qian Gu Dong Feng trembled slightly with extreme anger, each word sounding like an ice shard squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Where's your brain? Huh?! Did a dog eat it?! Or is it just covered up by your cunning and scheming?!"

He took a sudden step forward, and fine cracks appeared on the hard ground under his foot:
"I've said it before, at your age, your only goal is to cultivate relentlessly! Reach higher realms! Consolidating your position is the most important thing!"

"When did I say that you were allowed to act like a peacock in heat, running around the gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and making a fool of yourself? Trying to pick up girls?"

"Tell me, when did I tell you to do that? Who taught you? Hmm?"

"What else is on your head besides love, love, love? Tell me!"

Qian Gu Dong Feng is truly furious this time.

He didn't want to see his grandson follow in his footsteps and become someone else's girl's lapdog.

But Qian Gu Zhangting's problem is much more serious than his previous one. At least he would never make such a low-level mistake and bring shame to the Qian Gu family!
Qian Gu Zhangting was stunned by the roar; he had never seen his grandfather so furious. He tried to explain, feeling wronged:
"Grandpa, I...I truly love Miss Gu Yuena, and given my status..."

"Your identity?!" Qian Gu Dongfeng was like a powder keg that had been ignited. He laughed in fury, his voice suddenly rising to an almost shrill level. "You still have the nerve to mention your identity? Do you know that your identity has become the biggest joke on the entire continent?"

He suddenly grabbed a screen from the desk and slammed it onto the carpet in front of Qian Gu Zhang Ting.

The screen was lit up, displaying the most popular video online right now.

"Look, open your dog eyes and take a good look." Qian Gu Dong Feng's finger almost poked the screen, his fingertips trembling with anger. "Look at what you look like? A clown! A complete clown! You were stripped bare by just a few words! And in the end, you even cried and ran away like a woman!"

"You have utterly disgraced the Qian Gu family and the Spirit Pagoda!"

Qian Gu Zhangting looked at the humiliating tear stains on his face on the screen, feeling ashamed and indignant to the point of wanting to die.

Lu Jun was absolutely right...

But Qian Gu Zhangting still has an excuse:

"Grandpa, it's because Lu Jun is too cunning, he..."

"He's treacherous?" Qian Gu Dongfeng abruptly interrupted him, his chest heaving violently, spitting almost onto Qian Gu Zhangting's face. "You still have the nerve to call someone treacherous? Let me tell you, Qian Gu Zhangting, you're a pig! A complete and utter idiot!!"

He was so angry that he spoke without thinking, even cursing himself: "You rotten dog, like father, like son! How could my Qian Gu Dong Feng have raised such a clueless idiot like you?"
