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

Chapter 400 The Ice God's Heart Given by Gu Yuena
Gu Yuena pouted, her eyes darting around, and she lowered her voice to get closer to Lu Jun, a wicked thought forming in her mind:
"How about... I sneak out? They won't know where I went anyway."

Lu Jun chuckled and gently flicked her forehead:
"That's not the case, my lady. Besides, I already have someone to accompany me to the far north this time."

"Who?" Gu Yuena instantly became alert, a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashing in her purple eyes, like a kitten whose territory had been invaded.

“Um…it’s my senior, Leng Yulai.” Lu Jun replied casually, “It was arranged by my teacher, who said it was to protect my safety.”

“Leng Yulai…”

Gu Yuena repeated the name softly, her brows furrowing slightly. Although she knew it was a reasonable arrangement, she still felt inexplicably unhappy and muttered to herself:

"...Although, I always felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at you."

Lu Jun smiled upon hearing this and comforted him:
"What's the big deal? My aunt is a very nice person and quite strong. Alright, stop thinking about it and eat quickly. After I finish eating, I still need to go to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters to get the One-Word Battle Armor first, and then I need to prepare to set off for the far north."

"Oh fine……"

Gu Yuena lowered her head, poking at the remaining food on her plate with her fork, looking somewhat sullen. But she quickly raised her head again, gazing at Lu Jun like a dutiful young wife, and instructed him:

"Then you must be careful on your journey."

Seeing her reluctant yet trying-to-be-sensible expression, Lu Jun's heart softened. He smiled slightly, gently stroked her silver hair, and then leaned down to give her a light kiss on her smooth, white, milk-like face.

Gu Yuena's pretty face flushed bright red instantly, but she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Just then, she seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly raised her head:
"By the way, I have something to give you that should be helpful on your trip to the far north."

As she spoke, she hurriedly and carefully took something out of her storage soul tool.

It was a transparent box made of a special material, its surface shimmering with a faint energy glow, clearly not ordinary glass.

In the center of the box, a beautiful crystal lay quietly.

It is only about the size of a longan, with a flawless teardrop shape and countless tiny facets on its surface. The whole thing is a deep and pure ice blue.

Although it is not large, when the cafeteria light shines on it, its countless facets reflect countless beautiful ice-blue rays of light.

The light was no longer warm, but transformed into countless cold rays. The mere visual refraction made one feel as if they were instantly placed in an ancient ice cave, chilling them to the bone.

"This is……?"

Lu Jun's gaze was instantly drawn to it; he could clearly sense the unimaginable, extreme ice-attribute energy contained within.

“It’s called the Heart of the Ice God,” Gu Yuena explained earnestly. “According to the tests, the temperature around it is maintained autonomously between minus 200 and minus 237 degrees Celsius all year round. In other words, its temperature always hovers around the critical point of absolute zero.”

"It is an extremely cold core. Based on its energy characteristics, it should be some kind of natural treasure originating from the far north."

She paused, her tone becoming even more serious:
"After conducting detailed tests on the energy it contains, we found that the total amount of energy contained within it is so large that it is difficult to measure precisely. Preliminary estimates suggest that its energy intensity is between the core energy intensity of a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided projectile and a level 10 fixed-position soul-guided projectile when they explode."

"Although it may not be able to directly enhance your martial soul's ice attribute, it can definitely replenish a huge amount of energy to your Ice Abyss Sword. Even just carrying it with you will improve your sustained combat ability by a level. It's quite a good treasure."

After explaining, she carefully handed the specially made box containing the Heart of the Ice God to Lu Jun. The moment he held the box, an extreme chill instantly pierced through him. Even with Lu Jun's special constitution, he couldn't help but shiver, his eyes filled with shock.

Heart of the Ice God...

The Ice God's Heart, which he had secretly searched for for a long time without any results, actually... appeared in Gu Yuena's hands so easily, and she gave it to him.
This...this is simply...

Looking at the exquisite treasure in his hand that exuded endless coldness, and then at the smiling Gu Yuena in front of him, Lu Jun felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

“You’ve given me something so valuable,” Lu Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and looked at Gu Yuena seriously.

"Then I would feel really bad if I didn't give something in return."

Gu Yuena waved her hands repeatedly, her face slightly flushed:

"No, no need. I'm already very happy that you accepted it. I'm very satisfied with things as they are."

However, before she could finish speaking, she saw Lu Jun's demeanor suddenly change.

An indescribable, ancient sword intent, seemingly originating from the primordial chaos of the universe, flashed across his body and vanished.

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Ice Abyss Sword, with its ice-blue body and ancient design, appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, the Ice Abyss Sword was no longer its usual silent form. A dreamlike divine radiance flowed across its blade, and although it lasted only for a moment, it made Gu Yuena's soul tremble.

Lu Jun then pointed his fingers like a sword and gently tapped a spot on the guard of the Ice Abyss Sword.

He forcefully removed a small, translucent piece of ice, about the size of a fingernail, which seemed to contain countless swirling starlight.

He grasped the tiny ice crystal, his soul power surging, and shaped it into a simple yet exquisite snowflake-shaped pendant, then strung it with a thin chain of unknown material that shimmered with a cold light.

He stepped forward and gently placed the necklace on Gu Yuena's fair, slender, and graceful neck, which was as beautiful as a swan's.

The snowflake pendant nestled between her delicate collarbones, exuding a faint, reassuring, and mysterious chill.

"This contains a trace of the Ice Abyss Sword's most fundamental power," Lu Jun said gently. "Although it's only a tiny trace, it should be able to help you in a critical moment."

Gu Yuena lowered her head, her fingers trembling as she gently touched the cold snowflake pendant on her chest.

She could clearly sense the faint yet incredibly powerful sword intent contained within it.

The value of this gift is immeasurable.

My God, this is a wisp of primordial power from a super artifact!

Just looking at the level of power, it's all above hers.

Just by wearing it, she felt as if all her ultimate attributes still had room for improvement, and she received a tiny bit of enhancement.
