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

Chapter 459 A Level 66 Soul Emperor at Almost Thirteen Years Old

Harosa paused for a moment, then explained:
"That's one way to understand it. But given your own status and the abundance of your fortune, even if the plane doesn't actively choose you, the final outcome will most likely be in your favor. You... are a being favored by fortune."

Lu Jun nodded without saying anything more.

Harosa continued, finally revealing her biggest secret:

"And I... you can simply think of me as the spokesperson for the current Douluo Star plane, an agent of the plane's will who walks among humans. It is my duty to protect the plane's origin and guide the forces that are beneficial to the plane's development."

Lu Jun had already guessed this with a high degree of accuracy.

More importantly, behind this proxy stands the legendary Necromancer Saint, Elex, and perhaps even... another being.

"Do you wish to absorb the soul bone directly here? This environment is undoubtedly the best place on the entire continent for you, undisturbed by anyone, and the energy is inexhaustible."

Harosa suggested.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Lu Jun nodded.

Harosa bowed slightly:
"You're too kind. Helping you is simply a manifestation of the will of this plane. As your agent, I will do my utmost to protect you."

Lu Jun said no more and immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, clearing his mind of distractions.

The three ice-attribute soul bones, radiating an alluring luster, seemed to be drawn in and slowly flew towards his corresponding head, torso, and right leg.

The absorption process went exceptionally smoothly, without encountering any bottlenecks whatsoever.

The immense energy, like a gentle stream, flowed perfectly into his limbs and bones, complementing his original three soul bones and forming a perfect cycle.

His soul power level began to rise rapidly at a visible speed.

Level 58, Level 59... and then without stopping, he broke through to Soul Emperor.

Then came levels 61, 62, 63...

Finally, when the energy of the three soul bones was completely absorbed, his soul power steadily stopped at...

Level 66!

After a long while, Lu Jun slowly opened his eyes, and two tangible, ice-blue divine lights flashed and disappeared.

He stood up and immediately took out an instrument for accurately detecting cultivation level from his storage soul guide.

When Lu Jun saw the number sixty-six clearly displayed on the instrument screen, he was still quite surprised, even though he was somewhat prepared.

"Three top-tier soul bones... this improvement is just too outrageous..."

He muttered to himself.

However, he also understood that this was probably the last time he could rely on soul bones to achieve such a huge improvement, because he had already collected all the soul bones in his body, and they were all top-level ice attribute sets.

Harosa, standing to the side, also clapped softly, her tone filled with genuine admiration:
"Congratulations, sir. You are indeed a peerless expert in the past. Now that you have returned after your cultivation has been restored, there is not a single bottleneck to overcome."

"If this matter were to spread, the entire continent would likely be shocked... A level 66 Soul Emperor who is almost thirteen years old..."

Upon hearing this result, even Lu Jun himself couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

"Heh... Only now do I realize that when I challenged the original Shrek Seven Devils in Shrek City using virtual data, I thought their modifications were already ridiculously outrageous..."

"I never expected that reality would be even more outrageous than the drastic alterations."

This is indeed quite funny.

I originally thought that Tang San, whose data was modified by Shrek Academy, was already at level 71 at the age of 15, which was already exaggerated enough. But I didn't expect that I was almost 13 years old and at level 66, which seems to be... not much different?
“Your Excellency.” Harosa’s voice pulled Lu Jun back to reality. His tone became somewhat ambiguous, yet carried a hint of urgency that was barely perceptible. “Your time… is extremely precious right now.”

"If there are no other important matters at the moment, you should probably start preparing to create your own two-word battle armor." "Great strength requires matching armor to support and unleash its full potential."

This was practically a polite way of asking them to leave.

Lu Jun naturally understood his deeper meaning and nodded:
“I understand. Then I’ll head back now. I’ll remember your kindness today, Mr. Lu. Please also give my regards to the two people behind you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Harosa's body jolted when he heard the words "those two," and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Under his shocked gaze, Lu Jun's figure began to blur and become transparent, like an ice block exposed to warm sunlight, slowly and silently dissipating into this primordial space without causing any spatial fluctuations, as if he had never existed.

Halosa stood alone, gazing at the spot where Lu Jun had disappeared, and fell into a long silence.

Finally, he stood with his hands behind his back and let out a long, heavy sigh:

"I hope that you can truly recover to your peak strength within the next ten years. Time... is really running out."

Not long after he finished speaking, in this silent dimensional space, another gentle voice, yet imbued with endless vicissitudes and worries, seemed to echo from the depths of the void:

"The possibility is... too small, almost negligible."

"In my opinion, at his peak, he was probably at least a first-level deity, or even a god-king."

"With the current energy concentration and level of Douluo Star, it is simply not enough to support the birth of another first-level god. It is almost impossible for him to return to his peak in just ten years."

Upon hearing this voice, Harosa immediately bowed respectfully.
"teacher."

The being whom Harossa addressed as "teacher" seemed to pause for a moment before continuing, a hint of surprise in his voice:
"However... he actually managed to guess that besides me, there was also him behind you... This insight is truly surprising. How did he know?"

"I don't think I've ever appeared in human history. Could it be that he really has the ability to know everything that happened while I was asleep?"

Harosa's eyes turned somewhat sad, and her voice became low:
"Teacher, let's not talk about these things for now. With his abilities, this is quite normal."

"However, judging from Lord Huo Yuhao's current condition... I'm afraid he can't hold on for much longer."

"At most ten years... everything will come to an end, and the full-scale invasion of the Abyss will inevitably arrive."

Upon hearing this, the owner of the voice sighed softly, his voice filled with helplessness and pity:

"Sigh... There's nothing we can do. It seems that he's the only one who can truly shoulder the heavy responsibility that Yuhao has carried for ten thousand years. Hopefully... he can improve as much as he can in these last ten years."

The voice paused, then morphed into a question tinged with uncertainty, which echoed softly in this primordial land that had given birth to the world:
"Ten years from now, what will become of Douluo Star?"

"Is it a new beginning... or a complete end?"

……

After leaving, Lu Jun's figure appeared silently in the busy main passage of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters. When the staff around him saw him, they all bowed respectfully.

He nodded slightly in response, then took out his soul-guided communicator and dialed Leng Yaozhu's number.

The communication was answered almost instantly.

"How is it?" Leng Yaozhu's voice came from the other end, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension and urgency.

Lu Jun could imagine the worried look on her face, her brows furrowed, so he softened his tone to reassure her.

"It's alright, everything went smoothly. We can confirm that His Majesty Harosa is on our side. And..."

He paused, then lowered his voice:
"This sir's background and connections are far beyond imagination. No wonder he had such absolute confidence back then, claiming that he could handle any situation, including even the Beast God Di Tian."
