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

Chapter 351 Yun Ming and Guan Yue

When Lu Jun saw Yun Ming, he frowned and subconsciously lowered his head.

Try your best to control yourself from using your supernatural eyes to observe the other person.

Because the moment his divine eye saw Yun Ming, he noticed that Yun Ming's aura was frighteningly strong.

He was almost the strongest being he had ever seen at this stage.

He truly deserves to be called the strongest person of this era.

"Forget it, I'd better not use my divine eye to look."

Yun Ming now possesses a complete divine position and is undoubtedly a god-level existence, using his divine eye to peer into a true god.
That's like an old man eating poison; he's tired of living!

If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if there is only a one percent chance of being exposed, Lu Jun is unwilling to take the risk.

Behind Yun Ming followed several figures with equally unfathomable auras, some elderly and others dignified; all were elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

When they appeared, it was as if even the light became more concentrated, and the fluctuations of soul power in the air became gentler.

Yun Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his posture seemingly carefree and unrestrained, but when his gaze swept over the group of people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, especially when it lingered on Lu Jun and the others for a moment, it carried an invisible, suffocating sense of oppression.

Finally, his gaze settled on Wu Changkong, and his calm, even voice rang out, yet it seemed to carry a tremendous weight:

"It seems you've been doing quite well since leaving Shrek Academy, Wu Changkong. In such a short time, you've already reached level 88 in spirit power, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo."

These words, though seemingly ordinary, contained a hidden veil of sarcasm, subtly implying that he had betrayed the kindness of his mentor and instead sought other opportunities.

Despite facing the number one person on the continent, Wu Changkong maintained a humble yet dignified attitude.

He bowed slightly, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and performed the courtesy of a junior to a senior, his voice clear and indifferent:
"Your Majesty flatters me. It was merely due to some fortunate opportunities that I was able to make progress."

"Opportunity? Heh... Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's nonchalant reply, Yun Ming seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly, his laughter carrying an indescribable mockery and coldness.

But soon, the laughter stopped abruptly, his face instantly turned cold, and his tone became chilling:
"If your teacher, Zhuoshi, were to hear these words, I wonder what he would think?"

He directly invoked Wu Changkong's mentor from Shrek Academy, attempting to exert pressure on him based on reason and emotion.

Before Wu Changkong could respond, Long Bing beside him could no longer contain herself, snorted coldly, and interrupted:
"What else can we think? Back then, he watched as the Tang Sect slandered Chang Kong and even tacitly allowed Shrek Academy to label Chang Kong a traitor. He personally drove away his own disciple. Now, do we expect Chang Kong to be grateful to him and turn back from the wrong path? There's no such logic in the world!"

Yun Ming's gaze shifted instantly, like two tangible bolts of cold lightning, landing on Long Bing.

Being stared at like that by the strongest person on the mainland, Long Bing felt her breath catch in her throat, but she still stubbornly raised her head and refused to back down.

Yun Ming stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly laughed again, but this laugh was devoid of any warmth:
“Interesting. Little girl, if I remember correctly, you're the student who was expelled from Shrek Academy for violating school rules and talking back to teachers, right?”

His gaze then shifted to Wu Changkong, his tone carrying a condescending mix of regret and reproach:
"Wu Changkong, for the sake of a student expelled from the academy, you were willing to betray Shrek Academy, which nurtured you. Now it seems it was truly not worth it." These words completely ignited the suppressed anger in Wu Changkong's heart.

He took a sudden step forward, shielding Long Bing completely behind him without hesitation. Straightening his back, he fearlessly met Yun Ming's unfathomable gaze. His already icy expression became even more frosty, and his voice, resolute and clear, resounded throughout the entire area:
"Lord Yunming, please make this clear: my departure from Shrek Academy was not due to Long Bing."

"I am utterly disappointed with Shrek Academy now. I am desperate because of its tolerance of the Tang Sect's rampant behavior, its inability to distinguish right from wrong, its stagnation, and even its actions against innocent students. That is why I chose to leave!"

"Long Bing has only made me see all of this sooner. Please, sir, do not confuse right and wrong, and understand this point!"

Wu Changkong's words implied criticism of Shrek Academy under Yun Ming's leadership.

Yun Ming's face instantly darkened, turning as cold as frost.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion around them also changed color.

"what do you mean……"

Yun Ming's voice lowered, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze. An immense and terrifying pressure, like an invisible mountain, suddenly descended and pressed precisely on Wu Changkong and Long Bing.

"Is it because Shrek Academy has become worse than before under my management? Is that why you, my esteemed student, were forced to leave in disappointment?"

Under this pressure, which was like divine might, Wu Changkong and Long Bing swayed at the same time, and their faces turned pale instantly.

Wu Changkong circulated his soul power at full force, and the light of his level 88 soul power shone faintly on his body, but he was still pressed so hard that his bones creaked and he could hardly move.

Long Bing let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, Guan Yue, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He took a light step and stood seemingly casually in front of Wu Changkong and Long Bing.

The moment he stood still, the terrifying pressure that had surged like a tidal wave seemed to have crashed into an invisible yet incredibly resilient wall, and it dissipated by more than half. Although it was still unsettling, it no longer possessed that destructive oppressive force.

The usual gentle smile on Guan Yue's face vanished, replaced by a faint disappointment and seriousness. He looked at Yun Ming and calmly spoke:
"Your Majesty Yun Ming, the Sky-Supporting Douluo I remember is broad-minded and upright. He would never get angry easily because of these verbal disputes or the bluntness of the younger generation, nor would he use his power to oppress others, make things difficult for the younger generation, or bully the weak."

"Your actions now seem somewhat unfamiliar to me."

Yun Ming finally shifted his gaze from Wu Changkong and landed on Guan Yue again. The terrifying aura surrounding him subsided slightly, but his eyes remained deep and cold. He said calmly:

"Junior Brother is indeed different now that he's working for the Sun Moon Federation. His aura is stronger, and his confidence is more solid. It's not easy to see him again, and now he won't even call me Senior Brother?"

Guan Yue remained expressionless, but his eyes revealed complex emotions. He was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, his tone heavy with a hint of detachment:
"I don't know whether it's Shrek Academy itself that has changed, or you... have all changed."

"All I remember is that ever since you all began to worship the Sea God Tang San, our ancestor, with unparalleled fervor back in Shrek Academy, taking his will as the sole guiding principle and even gradually placing it above everything else... many of you seem to have slowly changed."

"And it was precisely because I could not accept this, and could not accept that the academy was becoming more and more like a religious place that only knew how to worship gods and ignored reality and humanity, that I finally chose to leave you and leave that suffocating atmosphere."

Guan Yue paused, and finally uttered those two words, but they sounded incredibly difficult and unfamiliar:
“…Senior Brother.”
