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

Chapter 353 Lu Jun: "Which idiot wrote this Legend of the Dragon King?"

Yun Ming was momentarily speechless at this sharp rebuttal, his face instantly turning ashen. He let out a cold snort:
"Sharp-tongued, junior brother, in my past impression you were a person who disliked fighting, had a gentle heart, and loved peace."

"But now, you're all talk about the Federation's cause and willing to be its lackeys. You say we've changed? But the one who has truly become unrecognizable, pragmatic, and cold-blooded is probably you."

Having said this, Yun Ming seemed unwilling to engage in any more pointless verbal sparring with Guan Yue. He abruptly flicked his sleeves, turned, and walked into the academy, leaving behind only a cold statement:

"Since you've agreed, then follow us. The virtual battlefield is about to open. Let me see just how capable your team, the strongest academy on the continent, really is."

The magnificent gates of Shrek Academy, like the jaws of a giant beast, slowly opened before everyone, revealing unknown challenges and intense hostility behind them.

Standing at the front of the group, Lu Jun heard every word of the heated and information-packed conversation between Yun Ming and Guan Yue. His heart was already in turmoil, but he could only try to keep his face calm, though he was actually completely dumbfounded.

Someone surnamed Xu?
Speaker of the Federal Parliament?

What the hell?

He was internally screaming and complaining.

In the original work, wasn't the Speaker of the Federal Parliament just a background mascot?
He appeared only a handful of times, had virtually no presence, and possessed no real personal talent.

It's nothing more than a puppet symbol in the power struggle between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy.

But here... this Federal Speaker here actually made Yun Ming, the number one person on the continent, feel very wary, and even his words were full of deep vigilance and disgust.

Lu Jun felt like his CPU was about to overheat.

The plot of the Legend of the Dragon King, ever since he transmigrated here, has been like a wild horse, galloping wildly in a completely unknown direction, destroying his greatest advantage as a transmigrator who knows the original plot, making it impossible to play.

This left him dumbfounded, like a newbie who had accidentally stumbled into a game full of expert players, feeling utterly lost and desperate due to the information gap.

Most importantly, he is still in his growth stage, and his status and position are far from sufficient. He simply does not have his own intelligence network or channels to obtain effective and accurate information from the highest levels of the Federation.

Even though he had searched extensively online, he only knew one name about this federal speaker.

It is the name of a person named Xu Tiandi.

It sounds incredibly powerful; just hearing the name tells you he's incredibly strong.

But besides that, strength, background, policy inclinations, what abilities one has, whether one is a Soul Master, what level of cultivation one possesses...

All the key information was blank.

As for who the deputy speaker, core members, and others are, there's not a trace of them online; they're completely blocked.

How is Lu Jun supposed to analyze the situation?

He turned into a complete idiot.

Lu Jun was inwardly wailing.

However, judging from the conversation between Yun Ming and Guan Yue, this Federal Speaker Xu Tiandi is definitely a ruthless character in this world, with unfathomable strength and power, and even Yun Ming has to treat him with caution...

The highest level of alarm instantly sounded in Lu Jun's mind.

It seems I must be more careful and absolutely avoid attracting too much attention from this big shot.

He originally thought that with god-level power, he could roam freely across the Douluo Continent and slaughter everyone.

But little did I expect that possessing god-level power was just the beginning? It was merely a means to barely protect myself.

This Dragon King Legend is getting weirder and weirder.

If the plot had followed the original storyline, he would have been invincible long ago.

Lu Jun's lips twitched slightly. He collected his thoughts and immediately began to calculate:

Once this challenge is over and we return, we must immediately have Yuanen Zhentian use his family's connections to gather all the information about the Federation's high-ranking officials, especially Speaker Xu Tiandi, at all costs, even if it's just some scraps of information or rumors!

At the same time, an even more terrifying thought surfaced in Lu Jun's mind, sending a chill down his spine.

This mysterious and powerful Federal Speaker, Xu Tiandi... could he be the ultimate boss of this Dragon King Legend era?
Upon considering this possibility, Lu Jun subconsciously lowered his head, concealing the surprise and uncertainty that flashed in his eyes.

It's possible, but unlikely, since the Federation is hostile to Tang Sect and Shrek Academy... The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Hopefully, this Federal Speaker will stand up and blow up Shrek Academy with the help of the eternal east wind.

As Lu Jun was thinking this, Yun Ming and the others led the group through the solemn and ancient corridors of Shrek Academy and arrived at a spacious and bright special room.

The room was devoid of unnecessary decorations, except for seven advanced, streamlined, silver-white pods neatly arranged, their doors open, revealing a soft blue glow inside. These were the access pods connecting to the virtual battlefield within Shrek Academy.

Yun Ming stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the cabin, dressed in white, his gaze sweeping calmly over Lu Jun and the other seven, his tone carrying a condescending indifference:

"Go in. Don't worry, with the entire internet watching, Shrek Academy wouldn't stoop to, and wouldn't, resort to, any underhanded tactics."

"To tamper with things in the virtual battlefield is tantamount to ruining one's own reputation. Shrek Academy would never stoop to such a foolish act."

His gaze swept over Guan Yue and Wu Changkong with a hint of mockery:
"Do you understand now? You bunch of people who are used to judging others by your own petty standards."

Wu Changkong completely ignored Yun Ming's mockery. He strode up to Lu Jun and the other six, his icy gaze sweeping over each young and nervous face. His tone was unusually serious, yet tinged with a barely perceptible concern:

"Listen, once you're inside, your own safety is the top priority. The original Shrek Seven Devils are all legends, and their age-matched simulations are no pushovers either. The outcome of the challenge isn't important. Even if you can't win, make sure everyone comes out unharmed. Understand?"

"If you sense something is wrong, immediately look for an opportunity to withdraw. Don't be stubborn!"

These words of advice, coming from Wu Changkong, who was usually as cold as ice, sounded unusual.

A warm feeling washed over Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and the others. They never imagined that their usually cold and strict dance teacher could be so gentle and concerned about them.

Lu Jun took a deep breath, met Wu Changkong's worried gaze, and nodded vigorously:
"Teacher Wu, don't worry, I assure you that I will bring everyone out safely."

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any longer and was the first to step out, his gaze resolute as he walked towards one of the virtual pods.

His decisiveness and courage caused a faint hint of surprise to flash in Yun Ming's eyes, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yun Ming watched Lu Jun's retreating figure as he lay down in the virtual reality pod without hesitation, and muttered something to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it:

"Oh? No wonder he's been rumored to be a genius and hailed as the greatest genius of this era. His character and courage are commendable. His demeanor is somewhat reminiscent of mine back in the day."

Yun Ming was unaware that he was only able to reach the threshold of Limit Douluo at the age of twenty-something due to his exceptional talent and good fortune.

And what heights will this young man reach at a young age?

For the first time, he felt a strange, inexplicable interest in young people outside of Shrek Academy, but it was quickly overshadowed by his inherent pride.
