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

Chapter 354 The original Shrek Seven Devils are all Soul Emperors and Soul Saints? Where is your face?
As Lu Jun was the first to enter the virtual pod, the pod door slowly closed. Gu Yuena, Yuan Enhui, Le Zhengyu, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Long Chen exchanged glances, nodded to each other in encouragement, and then headed towards the remaining virtual pods to enter in turn.

The virtual hatches closed one after another, and the blue operation indicator lights lit up.

A cross-temporal duel with legendary contemporaries from ten thousand years ago is about to officially begin on this virtual battlefield.

Countless eyes across the internet were also focused on this through the live stream.

Lu Jun and the other six people felt as if their consciousness had passed through a dazzling tunnel. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, their feet were back on solid ground.

The surrounding environment changed dramatically in an instant.

They were no longer in that high-tech room, but in the center of a huge oval-shaped arena.

Looking up, you see a magnificent dome that is 120 meters high, surrounded by layers of ancient stone stands that are empty of people.

The entire site was filled with the ancient and rugged style of ten thousand years ago, with a faint dust and an invisible sense of solemnity permeating the air.

"Challengers have all connected. The challenge has officially begun. Scene transition complete: Soto Grand Arena, Central Main Arena."

The cold, synthesized sound echoed in the empty space.

Before they could properly examine this replica of the Soul Arena from ten thousand years ago, the system's voice rang out again:

"Data generation complete for the original Shrek Seven Devils. Simulated age setting: average age, fifteen years old."

"Fifteen years old???"

Le Zhengyu was the first to react, his eyes widening instantly, then he flew into a rage, tilting his head back and roaring at the empty stands:
"Hey, Shrek Academy, have you no shame? Our team's average age is only thirteen! What's the meaning of your system showing out fifteen-year-old opponents? Are you deliberately raising the difficulty?!"

However, the system's response was a cold silence.

At this moment, not far in front of them, seven blurry figures of light began to rapidly condense and solidify.

In an instant, the true faces of the seven figures were completely exposed to Lu Jun and his group of seven, as well as all the viewers watching the live stream.

The leader was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a handsome face that also conveyed a sense of fortitude.

Her long, radiant golden hair cascaded down her back like sunlight, reaching her waist, and was perfectly straight.

What's most striking are his eyes—eyes that are incredibly sinister, with bizarre double pupils.

His deep blue eyes held a chilling, piercing gaze, as if the coldness originated from the depths of his soul. With each half-open eye, a sinister light flickered, and when his gaze swept over one's skin, one felt a faint illusion of being cut by an invisible blade.

His handsome face paired with those sinister eyes made him destined to be the absolute focus of attention wherever he went.

The system's cold, impersonal voice provides a timely explanation:

"Fifteen years old, Dai Mubai, the first captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, Martial Soul: Evil Eye White Tiger, Cultivation: Level 69, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor."

"???"

When the system announced Dai Mubai's cultivation level of 69 at the age of 15, everyone on Lu Jun's side, including Lu Jun himself, was dumbfounded, their minds almost stopping.

Le Zhengyu's mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, Xie Xie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and even Gu Yuena's purple eyes flashed with disbelief.

Lu Jun was stunned for a moment, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

Dai Mubai, that trash, has a cultivation level of 69 at the age of fifteen?
What the hell are you talking about, this gigantic egg?!

In the original story, if he had a level 39 when he was 15, that would have been incredibly awesome, okay?

Level 69?
Is he only one level away from becoming a Soul Saint?
This is like putting an overpowered cultivation speed from ten thousand years in the past.
Just how shameless can Shrek Academy be? They dare to arbitrarily manipulate these data? Just to make things difficult for us, they've even abandoned all respectable traditions?

Before they could even process Dai Mubai's outrageous stats, the system continued to introduce the second person.

He was a boy with neat short hair, a full beard, and beautiful peach blossom eyes. He looked a bit sloppy, but his eyes were bright and lively.

"Fifteen years old, Oscar, ranked second among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Martial Soul: Sausage, Cultivation: Level 67, Food-type Soul Emperor."

Everyone has become numb.

A food-type Soul Master, fifteen years old, level sixty-seven?

This is even more outrageous than a Power-Up type!

Immediately afterwards, a third figure materialized.

This is also the most familiar figure to everyone.

He had long, flowing, light blue hair that cascaded down to his feet, smooth and dazzling.

If it weren't for his imposing figure and broad shoulders, one might mistake him for a woman just by looking at him from behind.

He wore a magnificent blue robe, on which ripples seemed to gently spread. Upon closer inspection, one's gaze would be instantly drawn to the deep blue, and one's very soul would feel as if it were being sucked into that endless, all-encompassing yet dangerous blue, like the ocean.

His face looked no more than that of a young man, yet he was exceptionally handsome, with a pair of deep, almost empty eyes that seemed to encompass everything. The occasional flash of purple in his eyes was even more captivating, bringing a strange quality of fleeting beauty and instantaneous death.

"Fifteen years old, Tang San, ranked third among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Clear Sky Hammer, Cultivation: Level 71, Control-type Battle Soul Saint."

Lu Jun and the others: "…………"

Seriously, this is getting more and more outrageous!
Have they stopped even bothering to cover it up?

A fifteen-year-old Soul Saint?

A person with twin martial souls can cultivate to the Soul Saint level at the age of fifteen?

This isn't just cheating; this is utterly crushing the cultivation system of Douluo Continent and spitting on it!

The system continued without stopping, introducing the next four people.

"Fifteen years old, Ma Hongjun, ranked fourth among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Martial Soul: Nine-Headed Phoenix, Ultimate Fire, Cultivation: Level 65, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor."

"Fifteen years old, Xiao Wu, ranked fifth among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit, Cultivation: Level 62, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor."

"Fifteen years old, Ning Rongrong, ranked sixth among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Martial Soul: Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Cultivation: Level 66, Support-type Weapon Soul Emperor."

"Fifteen years old, Zhu Zhuqing, ranked seventh among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat, Cultivation: Level 67, Agility-type Battle Soul Emperor."

One Soul Saint, six Soul Emperors!

And the lowest level is level 62!
The average level of all members is close to 67!

Such a lineup of fifteen-year-olds, which would be terrifying even ten thousand years later, made Lu Jun and his group of seven feel their scalps tingle and their hearts grow cold.

This is not a challenge, this is blatant humiliation and targeting!
Lu Jun could no longer suppress his anger. He abruptly raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the virtual space, staring directly at the Shrek Academy executives outside. His voice was icy, filled with undisguised mockery, echoing throughout the entire Soul Arena:

"Shrek Academy, when did you fall to such a state? Do you need to resort to such clumsy and shameless data manipulation to maintain your pathetic vanity? When you get shameless, you are truly unmatched in the world."
