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

Chapter 217 is actually the power of faith!
"You're just a kid, and I'm too lazy to investigate you. But if I miss something and something goes wrong, I'll be nagged to death by my superiors."

After Gui Yan finished venting his grievances to Lu Jun, his dark figure began to blur and become transparent, as if erased by an eraser.

The pale mask left a final, distorted afterimage in the moonlight.

"Alright, little one, just pretend I was never here. I look forward to seeing you again next time."

"By the way, congratulations on your breakthrough! You're 45 at 12 years old, even though you were slowed down by the cultivation speed reduction of your ultimate attribute. It's amazing that you were able to do it so fast."

"Hehehehe, I really look forward to seeing what your future achievements will be like."

The chilling laughter lingered in the room like a maggot clinging to a bone.

The nauseating stench of decay slowly dissipated as the shadow disappeared completely.

Lu Jun was the only one left in the room.

This left Lu Jun speechless.

He thought that his behavior had aroused suspicion, and that the Spirit Pagoda had come to investigate him.

So this is done by using surveillance cameras to check one by one. How long will it take to find out?
No wonder Gui Yan is filled with resentment.

They were truly being ruthlessly exploited.

"Thankfully, he didn't notice anything amiss." Hyotei breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the oppressive feeling that Oni Flame brought her was too strong.

Although he was only a level 98 Super Douluo, even the Ice Emperor wouldn't have given him a second glance ten thousand years ago.

Unfortunately, this is an era ten thousand years in the future, and Hyotei will truly have to look up to Oni-Yan.

"But what's this about me breaking through? I didn't know that."

Lu Jun frowned slightly.

He clearly remembered that before Gui Yan arrived, his soul power was firmly at the peak of level 44, still some distance away from breaking through.

How could it happen suddenly...

He immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused his mind on his body, carefully examining his inner self.

Soul power flowed through his meridians like a rushing silver glacier, even more powerful and condensed than before, truly reaching level forty-five.

This sudden breakthrough surprised and delighted Lu Jun.

He focused intently on tracing the source of his breakthrough. As his soul power flowed, a faint yet exceptionally pure golden light, like a firefly streaking across the night sky, was keenly captured by him.

These points of light are neither soul power nor spiritual power; they are scattered very sparsely at the edge of his soul power core and spiritual sea.

It exudes a warm, pure aura with a strange and approachable charm.

“This is…” Lu Jun’s heart stirred.

This aura... seems familiar.

He immediately recalled that not long ago, after helping Xie Xie with special training at the training ground, the faint, almost negligible aura emanating from Xie Xie had also subtly merged into his body.

At the time, Lu Jun thought it was because of his Ice Abyss Sword.

Now it seems there must be a different situation.

This energy has absolutely nothing to do with the Ice Abyss Sword.

Lu Jun carefully guided a wisp of soul power, attempting to touch the golden light spot.

The light spot trembled slightly as if it had a life of its own. Instead of resisting, it actively merged into the soul power, transforming into a pure energy that was incomparably pure and contained no attributes. It was instantly absorbed and transformed by him, propelling the soul power to advance a little further.

"Hyotei." Lu Jun suppressed the turmoil in his heart and immediately called out in his spiritual sea, "Can you feel it? What is this golden energy? It seems to have helped me complete my breakthrough?"

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, Hyotei's consciousness remained silent for a moment.

Immediately, a powerful surge of unbelievable joy swept over them. "Huh? Holy crap, this is the power of faith! It's actually the power of faith!" Hyotei's voice was unusually excited, even somewhat disoriented. "How could you so easily move the faith of living beings?"

“I’ve tried before, but my rank is just too low to withstand the power of faith. Even if I get the entire Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to believe in me, I can only gain a very weak amount of faith power…”

"I never imagined you'd already come into contact with the power of faith. How can there be such a vast difference between people?!"

Hyotei said, somewhat frantically.

"Wrong, it should be 'human and beast'," Lu Jun silently corrected him.

ice King:"……"

"What I said makes sense. After I merge with you, won't I become part of humanity too?" Hyotei was silent for a moment, then hummed a few times before saying, "Then we'll rebuild humanity together, and ascend to godhood together! Hahaha~ Let's take off!"

Lu Jun: "..."

Hyotei, having come into contact with modern society, is so lively!

Hyotei composed himself and began to explain to Riku:

"This power of faith is a true tonic for all living beings. It can not only be directly converted into pure soul power to help you break through bottlenecks, but also nourish your soul's origin and subtly improve your spiritual power limit and soul power quality."

"Most importantly, with it, the Ice Abyss Sword's energy replenishment has a completely new and continuous possibility."

"The power of faith is one of the top fuels that drives divine artifacts, and it is hundreds or thousands of times more efficient than absorbing ordinary energy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

The need to replenish the energy of the divine artifact, the Ice Abyss Sword, had always been a heavy burden on his mind.

This sudden surge of faith was undoubtedly a timely and much-needed boost.

But Hyotei's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm:

"However... unfortunately, the amount of faith power you have gained so far is too weak."

“There is only one source, and it is extremely shallow.” She paused, as if carefully sensing, “Hmm… Although it is weak, the faith power provided by this source is of extremely high quality or purity, far exceeding that of ordinary believers, one is equivalent to ten or even more.”

"This is probably the key reason why you were able to break through to the next level this time."

Is there only one source?
Extremely high quality?

"puff……"

Lu Jun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

what is this?
Did something unintentionally turn out well?
He initially used Xie Xie purely as a human punching bag to test the power of the Ice Abyss Sword and pass the time, and incidentally gave him a push so that he would crash into Yuanen Yehui, that iceberg.

Unexpectedly, this silly boy developed such a devout faith in himself because of this?
And it also contributed such high-quality faith power?

"This...this is truly an unexpected delight." Lu Jun shook his head and chuckled, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Hyotei sighed: "I guess this is what they call good deeds being rewarded. Of course, you're different. From what I know of human society now, people don't believe in this anymore. After all, the price of doing good deeds is too high now. Who can guarantee they won't get themselves into trouble?"

"In today's human society, ten thousand years from now, people are unpredictable and driven by self-interest. Who would easily trust others? Who would dare to open their hearts to another?"

"In that case, there's no point in talking about doing good deeds. Ha, you'll be lucky if you don't get stabbed in the back. Selfishness and self-preservation are the norm now."

"That human kid named Xie Xie... is a bit of an anomaly, his mind is so simple it's almost silly."

"No wonder you were willing to help him, so that's why. You're amazing, you're even on the fifth floor."

Hyotei said with an admiring tone.

Lu Jun: "..."

Is it possible that we had no idea we could obtain faith power this way?
It seems he's quite lucky!
