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

Chapter 357 As long as you perform well, everyone will be rewarded with a 100,000-year-old soul bone!!!

"You fucking shameless bastards?! You changed the enemy's character to a fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor/Soul Saint, and then secretly beat us all to a pulp?! Are you all orphans without mothers or fathers?! Have you no shame at all?!"

Xie Xie's angry and insulting roar echoed throughout the entire venue.

Outside, inside the Shrek Academy observation room, Yun Ming's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his aura turned several degrees colder.

His gaze pierced Wu Changkong, his voice icy:

"Hmph, as expected, like teacher, like student. A traitor's students are so rude, uncouth, and ill-mannered."

Wu Changkong was also burning with anger at this moment, and retorted without any politeness, his voice icy and piercing:

"Yunming, you are becoming more and more despicable and shameless. You secretly modified the data to strengthen your opponents and shamelessly weakened the challengers. You are capable of such despicable and filthy behavior. This challenge is no longer fair at all. We request to withdraw immediately!"

Guan Yue's face was also ashen. He completely agreed with Wu Changkong's words. He took a deep breath and prepared to formally lodge a strong protest on behalf of the Federation and the Temple of War and end this farce.

However, just as he was about to speak, the calm yet powerful voice of Federation Speaker Xu Tiandi came through the miniature soul-guided earpiece hidden in his ear:
"Guan Yue, calm down. Don't rush to quit."

Guan Yue was taken aback.

Xu Tiandi's voice continued: "Shrek Academy may be despicable and shameless, but this desperate situation is precisely the best crucible for honing true geniuses."

"Only extreme pressure can bring out their ultimate potential. This is the best way to help them break through their limits and improve their overall combat capabilities and willpower!"

"Tell those seven good kids to fight freely. The Federation doesn't need them to win this absurd, manipulated battle. Just do their best, show your style, demonstrate the spirit of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and show the unyielding pride of our Federation's soul masters!"

"As long as they can achieve honor in defeat and demonstrate outstanding performance commensurate with their talent, then—"

Xu Tiandi paused, then made a startling promise with resounding conviction:
"I, Xu Tiandi, the Speaker of the Federation, swear to the heavens with the highest authority of the Federation and my personal honor that once they emerge from the virtual battlefield, the Federation will bestow upon each of them a 100,000-year-old soul bone that best suits their martial spirit!"

"One piece for each person, a soul bone from 100,000 years ago!"

This incredibly generous and earth-shattering reward was transmitted directly into Guan Yue's mind through the earpiece, causing him to freeze instantly, his mind even going blank for a moment.

Seven pieces of soul bones that are 100,000 years old?
The Federation's move this time... is too extravagant, isn't it?

It should be understood that in this era, soul bones are already a rare resource that is almost extinct. Every soul bone that appears in the world can cause bloodshed, let alone the legendary 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Its value is immeasurable; the Federal Parliament has truly gone all out this time!

But after the initial shock, Guan Yue immediately understood Xu Tiandi's profound meaning and brilliance.

These seven 100,000-year-old soul bones are indeed incredibly precious and painful to look at, but the benefits they can bring will be beyond imagination.

This will not only greatly enhance the strength of these seven future pillars of society, but also firmly bind them to the Federation's war machine, gaining their absolute loyalty.

At the same time, using such a generous reward to contrast Shrek Academy's despicable behavior will further trample Shrek's long-standing reputation underfoot, greatly dampen its arrogance, and demonstrate the Federation's magnanimity and strength!
Kill three birds with one stone!
This speaker's methods are truly unfathomable.

Shocked, Guan Yue immediately composed herself and, without hesitation, used special equipment to transmit Xu Tiandi's promise verbatim into the virtual battlefield. This was also clearly heard by Wu Changkong, Long Bing, and Yun Ming, the Sea God Pavilion elders whose expressions changed drastically.

"...Speaker Xu Tiandi of the Federation promises that as long as you do your best and fight with style, even if you lose, you will still be honored. After the war, the Federation will bestow upon each of you a 100,000-year-old soul bone that best suits your martial spirit!"

These words were like a depth charge, detonating simultaneously both inside and outside the virtual battlefield.

Wu Changkong and Long Bing were both stunned, completely unexpected that the Federation would offer such an astonishing reward and support. The expressions of Yun Ming and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion instantly turned incredibly ugly, even showing a hint of disbelief and anger.

Has that bastard surnamed Xu gone mad?

In order to suppress Shrek Academy, they actually didn't hesitate to take out seven 100,000-year-old soul bones?
This is absolutely devastating!
Inside the virtual battlefield, Xie Xie, Le Zhengyu, and the others, whose morale had been low due to being severely weakened, were stunned when they heard the earth-shattering promise of a reward. Then, their eyes suddenly burst with unbelievable joy and burning fighting spirit.

"Ten...ten thousand-year-old soul bones? One for each person?"

Xie Xie's voice changed tone with excitement.

"The Speaker of the Federal Parliament...made a personal promise?"

Le Zhengyu felt his breathing become rapid.

The enormous reward instantly dispelled the gloom and fear in my heart, replacing them with an incomparably strong fighting spirit and desire.

Even among the seven, the most spoiled young master, Le Zhengyu, would never be able to obtain 100,000 soul bones at this time.

At the very least, he would have to wait until he became the head of the family before he would be qualified to inherit a complete set of soul bone armor.

"Brother Lu!" Xie Xie suddenly looked at Lu Jun, his eyes shining. "What are we waiting for? Let's go! Let's fight these cheaters! Let's show our might and win the 100,000-year soul bone!"

"Yes! Let's give it our all!"

Long Chen let out a low roar, and although his Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul was suppressed, it still let out an unwilling roar.

Xu Xiaoyan gripped the Star Staff tightly, her little face filled with determination.

Yuan Enhui took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort caused by the weakened martial soul, and her eyes regained their sharpness.

Gu Yuena looked at Lu Jun, her purple eyes flashing with a complex light, but also filled with fighting spirit.

As Lu Jun felt the renewed fighting spirit of his teammates, and recalled how the mysterious and powerful Federal Speaker valued them so much, a surge of pride and warmth welled up in his heart.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration caused by the failure of the Ultimate Ice, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp and focused. The Ice Abyss Sword was held horizontally in front of him, his voice steady and powerful:
"Okay, in that case..."

His gaze swept over the seven original Shrek Seven Devils in front of him, each radiating terrifying energy fluctuations; the countdown was about to end.

"Then let's... go all out!"

"Let the whole continent see Shrek Academy's despicable nature, and the backbone and strength of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

"war!!!"

The crowd roared in unison, their soul power, though suppressed, still erupted without reservation.

Countdown to zero.

The system's cold voice rang out:
"The challenge begins!"
