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

Chapter 463 Wu Siduo's Illegal Entry
"I...I am!"

As if seeing a savior, Wu Siduo hurriedly ran out from behind Lu Jun, handed the admission notice to Wu Changkong, and explained urgently:

"Hello teacher! I'm Wu Siduo, a new student who came to the academy to register today! This is my admission notice... But... but they insist on taking me back..."

Wu Changkong took the document, quickly glanced through it, and after listening to Wu Siduo and the federal police each give a brief account, he immediately understood the general outline of the matter.

He looked at the federal police, his tone still indifferent, but with a hint of certainty:
“What she said is true. Wu Siduo was indeed personally recruited by our dean. All the procedures and documents are genuine, and here is the dean's stamp to prove it.”

The federal police officers took the documents and examined them carefully, confirming that both the documents themselves and the academy's seal were genuine. However, a troubled expression still lingered on their faces.

“Teacher Wu, we acknowledge that the documents are genuine. However… regarding the issue of Wu Siduo illegally entering Douluo Continent… she did not enter through legal customs channels, but rather smuggled herself in. This is a matter of principle.”

Wu Changkong didn't waste any more words. He took out his soul communication device, dialed a number, and handed it to the leading federal police officer.

The federal police officer took the communicator with a puzzled look, and heard a slightly aged but authoritative voice coming from it:
"It is I, the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Wu Siduo is a distant relative of mine. As for the missing entry procedures and documents, I will personally go to the relevant federal departments to complete them after I finish dealing with my current affairs."

Upon hearing that it was indeed the dean's voice, the federal police officers became even more respectful, but still appeared quite embarrassed.

"Dean, it's not that we're unwilling to compromise. It's just... this matter was personally decided by Speaker Xu Tiandi, who ordered a thorough investigation of all personnel entering from the Eastern Continent. The situation is extremely serious! We dare not show favoritism!"

"Even you... probably can't make an exception."

The dean on the other end of the communicator was silent for a moment, clearly not expecting the matter to warrant a personal order from the speaker. He sighed and said:

“I understand. I won’t make things difficult for you. Just report this matter normally, and I will personally provide a reasonable explanation to the federal leadership later. After all, today is the day for new students to be admitted, so let this child go in and register first.”

With the dean's words, the federal police finally found a way to back down. The lead officer breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Yes, Dean, we will report it truthfully. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he handed the communicator back to Wu Changkong.

"That's all for today regarding Wu Siduo's question. We'll head back to report now."

The federal police nodded to Wu Changkong and Lu Jun, then led their team away.

Only after the police officers' figures completely disappeared into the crowd did Wu Siduo feel as if all her strength had been drained away. She went limp and leaned against the wall at the entrance of the academy, panting heavily, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Wu Changkong's cold gaze fell on her, and he said indifferently:
"You seem to have quite a few problems. You actually dared to smuggle yourself from the Eastern Continent to the Douluo Continent, especially during this sensitive period. Are you really not afraid of being arrested and interrogated by the Federation?"

Lu Jun nodded in deep agreement and added:
"The Green Skull organization from the Eastern Continent just recently planned an attack on the far north city. The Federation is now on high alert for all personnel from the Eastern Continent."

"Coming here at this time in this way is practically walking into the line of fire."

Upon hearing this, Wu Siduo lowered her head in shame, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, her voice barely audible:
"I...I didn't know so many things had happened on Douluo Continent...After all, I'm not from Douluo Continent, I'm from the Eastern Continent. I just...I just came here to escape."

She looked up, a hint of lingering fear and confusion in her eyes, and explained:

“Before my mother died, she told me that a distant relative of our Wu family was the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in Douluo Continent. He might help me because of this relationship… That’s why I risked everything to sneak here…”

Hearing Wu Siduo's tearful explanation, Lu Jun and Wu Changkong finally understood.

It turned out that this girl came from the distant Eastern Continent, and had risked everything to sneak across the border to seek refuge with her only distant relative. Lu Jun looked at Wu Changkong, raising an eyebrow slightly:

"So... does that mean she's successfully enrolled?"

"Ah."

Wu Changkong nodded expressionlessly, his tone still indifferent, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible emotion:

"Perhaps it's because your previous challenge against Shrek Academy was a great success, which greatly enhanced our academy's reputation."

"This year, the recruitment of new students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is more popular than ever before, and there are far more talented students than in previous years."

"As far as I know, more than 70% of the students on the latest list of mainland genius teenagers chose our academy instead of Shrek Academy."

"Yohoo?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun couldn't help but laugh heartily, in a very good mood.
"So, how many new students has Shrek Academy enrolled this year? Have you paid special attention to that, teacher?"

Wu Changkong's lips twitched slightly upwards, and he said calmly:
"Shrek Academy, with its millennia-old reputation, still has a considerable number of applicants. However... after the selection process, most of them are those with relatively mediocre talent."

"None of the truly top-talented students made it this year."

Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction, his gaze returning to the somewhat uneasy Wu Siduo, with a hint of scrutiny:

"You just said... that I'm the only person you know here? What do you mean by that? We don't seem to have met before."

Wu Siduo seemed somewhat afraid of Lu Jun's overly direct and slightly cold gaze, and subconsciously shrank her neck, explaining weakly:
"I... I really know absolutely nothing about Douluo Continent... but before I came here, I did a lot of research online. Especially the live stream of you representing Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to challenge Shrek Academy a while ago, that's when I got to know you..."

"Oh?"

Lu Jun rolled his eyes, his tone tinged with exasperation:

"So, out of all the people in our team back then, you didn't know Xie Xie or Le Zhengyu, and you only knew me?"

"Because...you're the one who gives the most unique impression..."

Wu Siduo retorted softly, seemingly mustering a bit of courage.

"Of course, I also remember other very pretty girls, like that Silver Dragon Gu Yuena, the Fallen Angel Yuan En Ye Hui, and Starlight Xu Xiaoyan..."

"Ah."

Suddenly, Wu Changkong spoke up, interrupting their conversation.

He looked at Lu Jun and, in a calm but undeniable tone, gave the instructions:
“Lu Jun, since you have so much free time to chat here, that’s perfect. You should also attend the upcoming freshman orientation, and while you’re at it… accompany Wu Siduo to help her get familiar with the academy and take care of some registration…”

However, before Wu Changkong could finish speaking, Lu Jun's expression changed, and as if springs had been installed under his feet, he slid backward more than ten meters in an instant.
