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

Chapter 372 Yun Ming Backs Down
Noticing Leng Yulai's somewhat lonely gaze, Gu Chenyu and Long Xiao exchanged a glance. Long Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, speaking with a hint of mockery:

"Yu Lai, you're not young anymore, and you're incredibly beautiful, a true beauty. How come you've never met someone who can make your heart flutter and stay by your side?"

"Now you know how painful it is to be all alone, right? You win something so exhilarating, but you can't even find someone to share your joy with."

Upon hearing Long Xiao's half-joking, half-serious words, Leng Yulai almost instinctively thought of Lu Jun.

The thought startled her, a fleeting, unnatural expression crossing her exquisite face. She immediately suppressed the absurd thrill, crossed her arms, and gave a deliberately cold snort, retorting:

"Hmph, you two aren't much better, always inseparable. What? Are you two having a gay relationship here?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't just say things like that." Long Xiao waved his hands repeatedly, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and subconsciously distanced himself from Gu Chenyu next to him. "I'm a married man with a family. My daughter is about to marry Wu Changkong."

Gu Chenyu nodded honestly in confirmation:
"Yes, I also have a wife, and we have a very good relationship. Yu Lai, don't misunderstand. Come to think of it, it seems that out of all of us here, you're the only one who's always been single."

Leng Yulai: "..."

Finished off by the two of them, Leng Yulai was speechless. A surge of anger, mixed with embarrassment and humiliation, rushed to her head, making her so angry that her teeth itched.

Damn it... I'm so angry!

These two bastards!
She secretly vowed in her heart: After this operation against Shrek Academy is completely over and I return to Mingdu, I must... I must find a chance to hug that kid Lu Jun tightly. I must find someone to vent my frustration about being single. It has to be him!

Once this thought arose, it grew wildly in her heart like weeds, causing two barely perceptible blushes, different from her previous excitement, to rise again on her cold and beautiful face.

In stark contrast to their jubilation was...

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion Observation Room.

A dead silence.

Yun Ming and all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion stood frozen in place like clay or wooden sculptures, their expressions frozen, their eyes vacant, as if they had lost all their souls.

Their minds went blank, leaving only one thought that echoed like a nightmare, frantically growing and spreading in everyone's hearts:
Lost...

In a situation where there is such an absolute advantage, even to the point of resorting to cheating...

They still lost...

Shrek Academy is finished.

Ten thousand years of glory, ten thousand years of faith, ten thousand years of prestigious reputation...

Today, right now, right before their eyes, a team with an average age of thirteen, and a four-ring Soul Master, were brutally trampled underfoot and crushed to pieces in front of the entire continent!
Endless panic, despair, shame, and disbelief, like an icy tide, completely overwhelmed them.

Just then, the virtual hatch slowly opened.

Lu Jun stepped out from the middle. His face was still somewhat pale, and his breathing was slightly rapid, indicating that the fierce battle had taken a huge toll on him.

But his spine was straight, and he gripped the Ice Abyss Sword tightly in his hand, a sword that seemed to be connected to his bloodline.

The moment he stepped out of the virtual pod, perhaps due to the lingering effects of the fierce battle, or perhaps a natural expression of his enlightened sword mind, an incomparably pure, incomparably sharp, and seemingly capable of severing all shackles in the world surged uncontrollably from his body.

The sword intent was so sharp and dazzling that it caused the surrounding space to hum slightly.

He immediately felt the gaze, almost tangible, filled with icy killing intent and boundless rage, coming from Yun Ming, who sat in the main seat with a face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Normally, being stared at so maliciously by a true god of the world would be enough to break the mind of any soul master. But at this moment, Lu Jun had just experienced a sword baptism that surpassed his limits, and his state of mind was in a mysterious and profound state of fearlessness and confusion.

Instead of backing down, he suddenly raised his head, his clear yet sharp eyes like two unsheathed divine swords, staring straight at Yun Ming's terrifying pressure without yielding.

He even took a step forward.

The soaring sword intent seemed to be enhanced by its master's will, becoming more refined and sharper.

The invisible sword energy seemed to transform into tangible light, which stung the eyes of the weaker Sea God Pavilion elders around them, causing them to instinctively want to look away, their hearts filled with horror.

This boy... his sword intent is terrifying!

Even Yun Ming, feeling the pressure of this pure and powerful sword intent, couldn't help but furrow his brows, a very subtle hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

As expected of a divine artifact in human form... Such a level of sword intent... pure and domineering, has already transcended the realm of the mortal. Even the passionate Douluo Zang Xin, who infused his sword with emotion, and the owner of the ruthless sword, probably did not reach such a level at the same age!

Countless thoughts flashed through Yun Ming's mind in an instant, and his killing intent surged.

He almost couldn't resist taking action on the spot to nip this major threat that would completely ruin Shrek's long-standing reputation in the bud.

However, his reason forcefully suppressed this impulse.

With the entire internet broadcasting live and countless people watching, including high-ranking federal officials, if Shrek were to make a move now, he would be doomed, cementing his reputation as a sore loser and a murderer.

Finally, under Lu Jun's unwavering and even provocative gaze, and in full view of everyone, Yun Ming, the number one person in the world and the master of Shrek Sea God Pavilion, was the first to look away.

His face was expressionless, but his clenched fists were white at the knuckles and trembling slightly, showing that his inner peace was far from what appeared to be.

He dared not look directly at Lu Jun's soaring, unparalleled sword intent that represented new life and change!

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

Shrek's defeat and retreat, and Lu Jun's victory and brilliance, were clearly conveyed to every corner of the world through the live broadcast.

An old era seems to be slowly drawing to a close.

And a new legend has boldly emerged!

Seeing the Shrek Academy team, especially Yun Ming's extremely ugly yet forcedly restrained expression, the young people on the Sun and Moon team could no longer suppress their excitement and elation.

"Brother Lu!"

"Lu Shen!"

Xie Xie and Long Chen rushed forward like wild dogs without saying a word, and hugged Lu Jun tightly.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Lu Jun was still reeling from the aftermath of the fierce battle and looked bewildered.

Long Chen and Xie Xie, however, paid no attention to anything else. They shouted excitedly, grabbed Lu Jun's arms on either side, lifted him high into the air, and then threw him into the air with force.

"Long live Lu Shen! Long live the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"
