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

Chapter 224 So this was Gu Yuena's real plan? How insidious!
late at night.

Lu Jun sat cross-legged on his bed, surrounded by a faint, almost invisible, ice-blue halo. Tiny ice crystals silently condensed and melted in the air.

He slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting glint of extreme coldness in the depths of his gaze.

"Hoo..." The Ice Emperor's voice, tinged with weariness yet languid satisfaction, echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness. "Finally done. This Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone has now completely become a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

"However, your choice to transfer all your soul power and energy into the Ice Abyss Sword is correct. Sometimes, increasing soul power too quickly is not a good thing; it will attract attention."

“That’s right, that’s why I’m doing this. At twelve years old, I’m already at level forty-five, and the reason why an extreme attribute martial soul slows down cultivation is that I’ve already surpassed ninety-nine percent of my peers.” Lu Jun sighed. “Not to mention that I just advanced to level forty-five. If I level up again in a short time, the people from the Spirit Pagoda will probably come to investigate me.”

Lu Jun hadn't expected this step.

But when Gui Yan came to investigate him personally that day, Lu Jun was really frightened.

If he were to level up again in such a short time, Gui Yan might really have to investigate him thoroughly.

Lu Jun could even imagine Gui Yan's doubts:

"Huh, this little guy just leveled up to level 45 in front of me yesterday, and then leveled up again the next day. He even evolved the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone to 100,000 years old? How did he do that? Where did he get the technology and methods to upgrade his soul bone? I need to investigate him thoroughly."

Then Lu Jun was finished. It was discovered that it was a divine artifact, which caused a scramble among the forces of the entire continent, resulting in chaos across the Douluo Continent. It was then fought over by several god-level beings.

The story is now complete. Hooray!

"As long as the soul power level appears normal on the surface, it will be fine. Since we're saving all the soul power and energy for the Ice Abyss Sword, the actual level we can unleash will also increase."

Hyotei immediately said.

"I don't want to get close to that eerie guy again. Who knows if he'll suddenly go crazy and try to investigate your body? If he finds out about the Ice Abyss Sword artifact you've hidden and my existence, that would be really Barbie Q."

"really."

Lu Jun smiled slightly and gently moved his left arm.

An overwhelming, icy power flowed deep within his bones.

With a slight thought, his senses extended subtly, establishing a faint yet incredibly clear connection with the token that had been given to Xie Xie and was now in Yuanen Yehui's hands.

The token was intact, and its location was locked in the girls' dormitory area.

"No problem, it's fine."

Lu Jun murmured, his tense nerves quietly relaxing. Although Xie Xie's delivery process sounded rather comical, the result did indeed meet expectations.

"As long as the token is with her... the initiative is in my hands."

"By the way, with this thing, can I just peek into the girls' dorm whenever I want? If I give this to Gu Yuena, I can sneak in while she's changing clothes..."

Just as Lu Jun was thinking this, Hyotei popped up and reminded him:

"Don't let the small part control the big part; don't forget our goal."

"Ahem, yes, yes, yes." Lu Jun was a little embarrassed. "Sigh, having such a beautiful woman by my side for so long has really caught me off guard. My mindset has been subtly changed."

Although Gu Yuena stripped Tang Wulin of his Golden Dragon bloodline, Lu Jun still felt uneasy.

Although she is very beautiful.

Without the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, rashly approaching Gu Yuena would likely result in being devoured without a trace.

She is still very beautiful.

Thinking of this, Lu Jun suddenly realized:
"Hey, I suspect that's what Gu Yuena was planning. She wanted to make me dependent on her without me even realizing it. Then, when I couldn't live without her, she would reveal her true colors and devour me completely. Then, she would naturally gain control of the artifact's power. Wow, how insidious! What a perfect way to achieve her goal slowly and steadily."

Hyotei rolled their eyes.

Why does she feel like something's not quite right?

……

Girls dormitory area.

Yuan Enhui's room had no main light on; only a dim, soft-lighting soul-guided wall lamp by her bedside cast a lonely silhouette of her curled-up body on the wall. She sat on the bed, hugging her knees, her chin resting on them, her long hair cascading down, obscuring most of her face.

The room was so quiet that the only sound could be her barely suppressed, yet still intermittent, faint sobs.

Her shoulders trembled slightly as she cried, so fragile that they seemed ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

She casually tossed the ice-blue token onto the desk not far away after she returned.

Under the dim light, the ice swords and ice crystals carved on the token reflected a faint and cold light.

Xie Xie's intense words during the day were like a pebble thrown into a still lake, stirring up her deliberately frozen past.

The tears and confusion when she ran away from home, the sorrowful and desperate look in her mother's eyes before she died, the father's hunched back that aged instantly after his martial spirit was destroyed, and the cold and ruthless face of her grandfather...

Images kept swirling uncontrollably in my mind.

Feeling powerless in the face of Shrek Academy's high tuition fees and stringent requirements, he had no choice but to join the Spirit Pagoda, a dark department that specifically accommodates dark martial souls, in order to survive and become stronger.

Although most of her colleagues in the department shared similar experiences and helped each other, giving her a sense of warmth and belonging, the deep wound in her heart stemming from her family never truly healed.

"Mother……"

A suppressed sob escaped her lips, and tears rolled down silently like broken pearls, soaking the fabric on her knees.

At this moment, she was no longer the cold and powerful first-year class monitor, but just a little girl carrying heavy pain, licking her wounds alone in the dead of night.

I'm feeling emo late at night.

Emotions surged forth like a floodgate bursting open.

After an unknown amount of time, the sobbing gradually weakened until it stopped completely.

Yuan Enhui seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Her body stopped trembling and remained curled up, motionless.

She slowly raised her hand and haphazardly wiped away the cold tears on her face with the back of her hand.

However, just as she wiped away her tears, subconsciously raised her head, and her gaze swept blankly across the room...

Her body suddenly froze, and her pupils contracted to their maximum size in an instant.

Right next to her desk, not far from the ice-blue token, a blurry figure floated silently in the air.

The figure was extremely eerie.

It is not a physical entity, but rather a human-shaped outline barely sketched out by countless tiny, constantly flashing and changing ice-blue light spots.

The edges of the outline constantly twist and ripple, like a holographic projection with a poor signal, filled with unsettling mosaic.

Her face and clothes were indistinct; only a human figure, a hazy shadow emitting a faint icy blue halo, appeared silently in her private space.

"Who?!"

A short, terrified shout escaped his lips.

Almost reflexively, an extremely intense dark aura instantly erupted from Yuan Enhui's body.

The dark phantom of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul suddenly unfolded behind her, its wide wings flapping fiercely with an ominous pressure, instantly swallowing up most of the light in the room and plunging it into deeper darkness.

A longsword flowing with dark purple demonic flames instantly appeared in her hand, its tip pointing directly at the eerie figure.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and her blood felt frozen.

Is it a token?
Was it the token Xie Xie gave that caused this trouble?

Or is it the person?

Whatever the reason, sneaking into the girls' dormitory silently in the middle of the night is definitely up to no good.
