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

Chapter 219 The big shots are all eager to slap Shrek Academy in the face.

The next day was the exhibition match between the first and second year students, which the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had been eagerly anticipating.

The morning session is for individual competitions, the noon session is for two-on-two matches, and the afternoon session is for seven-person team matches.

The exhibition match wasn't a single game; the whole class participated.

Because this exhibition match was to be posted online and recorded live across the entire internet...

So, Lu Jun let it go.

It's not so much that he was being lenient, but rather that in front of so many people, how could Lu Jun dare to reveal his true intentions?

Therefore, it was just performing at the normal level of a level 45 ultimate attribute martial soul.

After a full day of exhibition matches, Lu Jun's record was that he was invincible against no Dou Armor Masters.

But if you encounter a Soul King who is a one-word battle armor master, there's really nothing you can do.

After finishing the last seven-person team match against the second-year students, Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, looking like he had finally finished get off work, and ended the competition.

This time, he didn't focus on showing off himself. Instead, he formed a seven-person team with Yuan Enyehui, Le Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yuena, Xie Xie, and Long Chen to play a seven-person team match against the second-year students Zhao Tianyu and his seniors.

Others also showed commendable qualities during the process, but they still couldn't beat the senior students.

All seven of Miao's are one-word battle armor masters and soul kings; it would be a miracle if they could defeat her.

The quality here feels way more outrageous than that of the upperclassmen at Shrek Academy.

He remembered that only a few people in a senior class at Shrek Academy had one-word battle armor.

Who exactly is spreading rumors that Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is inferior to Shrek Academy?

The soul-guided loudspeaker, symbolizing the end of the match, hummed, and the soul-guided shield covering the entire arena slowly disappeared.

The core of the second-year team, Zhao Tianyu, with his strong physique and a smart outfit, strode up to Lu Jun first.

His face bore a hearty smile of triumph, beads of sweat still clinging to his forehead, his eyes bright, devoid of any victor's arrogance, but instead radiating genuine appreciation.

"Haha, thank you for your kind words. You guys are too strong. You almost brought us to our knees." Zhao Tianyu's voice was loud and clear, with a metallic quality, as he extended his broad palm to Lu Jun.

His palms were covered in calluses, clearly the result of years of hard training.

Lu Jun's tired expression was just right. He raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, then naturally extended his hand to shake Zhao Tianyu's hand firmly. His smile was humble, yet carried a hint of youthful composure after being defeated.
"The senior students are too strong, we really can't beat them."

He turned to the side and gestured to Yuan En Yehui and the others behind him, who were also a little out of breath, but whose eyes still showed no sign of giving up.

"Even with all our efforts, we were still far from enough."

Zhao Tianyu released his grip, smiled, and patted Lu Jun's shoulder firmly, the force heavy and carrying a sense of approval.

"Hey! Don't say that! We've just eaten a few more years' worth of food and worn an extra piece of battle armor than you. We've gained the advantage of time!"

His gaze swept over Lu Jun, Gu Yuena, Yuan Enye Hui, and other core first-year students, his tone resolute:

"With your foundation and potential, when you reach our age, your cultivation and combat skills will absolutely leave us senior students far behind."

He gave the entire first-grade class a firm thumbs-up.

"That was a fantastic exhibition match! Really exciting!"

"Most importantly, it was clean and efficient from start to finish, without any unexpected problems, which was very satisfying."

Hearing this, Xie Xie pursed his lips and muttered under his breath:
"Senior, you've probably been reading too many online novels. In reality, there aren't that many idiots causing trouble. There are plenty of normal people out there."

"Hahaha, I get what you mean." Zhao Tianyu was amused by Xie Xie's teasing and laughed heartily, making the air buzz. "However, this kind of smooth and exhilarating duel is the style that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy should have."

"I hope that this exhibition match will spread and let everyone see that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is also a cradle of geniuses, and is second to none!"

His gaze drifted toward the podium, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"As for shaking Shrek Academy, that's a long-term goal, junior students." He looked at Lu Jun and the others again, his eyes sincere. "Let's work hard together. The future belongs to you, and it also belongs to us, but ultimately it belongs to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Let's progress together!" On the podium, the dean was beaming.

Although the first graders ultimately lost, the entire process was exactly as he expected, full of excitement, showcasing the potential of the new generation while highlighting the depth of the older students.

Most importantly, the atmosphere was harmonious and full of the positive and uplifting spirit that a college should have.

These images are being transmitted in real time to live streaming platforms across the entire network via soul-guided recording devices deployed throughout the venue.

"I hereby announce!" The dean's voice, amplified by the soul tool, resounded throughout the entire arena, carrying an exhilarating power, "Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the first-year vs. second-year exchange exhibition match, has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you to both students for the wonderful duel!"

The applause was thunderous, especially in the second-grade area, where the cheers were even louder.

"Although the first-year students unfortunately did not win," the dean said, his voice becoming even louder, "the talent, resilience, teamwork, and desire for higher achievements they displayed have made all of us teachers and staff feel deeply gratified and proud!"

"With the unanimous decision of the academy's senior management, and in recognition of the outstanding performance of all first-year students in this exchange competition, a special subsidy for the Battle Armor Start-up program has been approved!"

Upon hearing this, all eyes instantly focused on the first-year area, especially on the core disciples who had not yet acquired battle armor, their eyes blazing with fervent light.

The dean's voice was clear and powerful as he announced a reward that would drive any Soul Master Academy student mad:

"Lu Jun, Gu Yuena, Yuan Enyehui, and Le Zhengyu, in view of their outstanding performance and potential, are hereby granted full subsidies for the core metal materials of their One-Word Battle Armor. All expenses incurred will be borne by the academy!"

Before the words were even finished, the prepared academy staff immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed four metal cards, each shimmering with starlight and engraved with the academy's emblem, to Lu Jun and his companions.

This card represents top-tier battle armor metal resources that even an ordinary Soul Master might not be able to gather even if they went bankrupt.

"Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Long Chen, Tang Wulin, and four others are hereby granted a 50% subsidy on the core metal materials for their One-Word Battle Armor!"

Seven slightly inferior but still priceless silver cards were delivered to the respective students.

The moment Xie Xie received the card, his fingers trembled slightly with excitement.

"All other first-year students who actively participated in this exhibition match will be given a 30% discount on the core metal materials for their One-Word Battle Armor!"

More students cheered; even though it was a 30% discount, it was already an enormous benefit.

This means that the quality of their starting battle armor materials will far exceed that of ordinary soul masters!
The rewards, given in batches, fell like precise rain upon every first-year student who had worked hard for them.

A huge surprise swept through the entire first-grade area like a tidal wave, and cheers and excited discussions erupted instantly!
"My God, our college is so rich!"

"30% off! My parents are ecstatic when they find out."

"Even though it's 30% off, it's still a great deal! The money saved is enough to buy a better soul spirit."

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy... This is the most generous I've ever seen."

"I'll support Sun Moon Academy for life!"

Amidst the clamor, Lu Jun stroked the cool-to-the-touch metal card in his hand, which seemed to contain boundless energy, and calmly looked at the smiling dean on the podium.

The old dean was also looking at him; their eyes met, and everything was understood without a word.

Throwing money at it?

Propaganda?

The objective has been achieved.

All I can say is that the money was well spent.

Lu Jun also noticed the dean's gaze.

Furthermore, Gui Yan told him personally that he was also looking forward to it...

It seems these big shots are all eager for someone to step forward and give Shrek Academy a resounding slap in the face.
