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

Looking at the exquisitely crafted graduation certificate in his hand, a symbol of the college's highest honor, Lu Jun was speechless.

This graduation speed is probably unprecedented.

Over the communicator, the dean's voice still carried a hint of teasing:

"Kid, don't think you're doing nothing. There are plenty of missions waiting for you from the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation. Don't forget, you're now a Spirit Pagoda Spirit Messenger, a position of great prestige, and it's time to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities."

Lu Jun was even more speechless, and sighed:

"I'm continuing my mission now, monitoring Wu Siduo..."

Upon hearing the mention of Wu Siduo, the dean's tone suddenly became somewhat complicated. He paused for a moment, sighed, and his voice lowered slightly:

"Lu Jun... that girl, I'm entrusting her to you. She's in your care now."

Lu Jun: "?"

He keenly sensed that there was something more to the dean's words, but before he could ask for details, the dean seemed unwilling to discuss it further and hastily ended the call.

"baffling……"

Lu Jun muttered something to himself, but the dean had always taken great care of him and never hesitated to provide him with resources. He remembered this favor and didn't think about it any further.

Just then, his communicator rang again; it was a group chat message created by members of the Shrek Challenge team.

They somehow managed to pull Tang Wulin in as well.

When Lu Jun clicked on it, he saw Xie Xie shouting and yelling.

[Xie Xie]: @All members, breaking news! Le Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui have officially graduated! Five-ring Soul King, One-word Battle Armor Master! Awesome!

[Xie Xie]: And Sister Gu Yue too! Sister Gu Yue graduated too! Also a Soul King and a One-Word Battle Armor Master! Ahhh! Why are you all so fast! I'm still so close! [Envious of lemons.jpg]

[Long Chen]: ...I'm envious too, but I feel a lot of pressure.

Lu Jun looked at the message and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems he wasn't the only one to graduate from the program.

However, before he could reply to the group chat, the dean had somehow found Lu Jun and appeared in front of him with a very solemn expression.

"Oh ho, we were just talking about a mission, and here comes an urgent one." The dean looked at Lu Jun with a serious expression. "Luckily, we found you right away, Lu Jun."

Lu Jun sensed something was wrong and immediately got up, intending to take his leave and slip away.
"Dean, since everything's alright, I'll head back to training now..."

"Stop right there." The dean called out to him, his tone leaving no room for refusal. "This is a mission directly issued by the Federation, specifically requesting you to lead the team to handle this. You can't escape."

Lu Jun's face darkened. He knew that having enjoyed so many benefits from the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda, he couldn't escape this responsibility. Resigned, he turned around.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The dean's expression was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"The mission location is in Aolai City. An ordinary couple who are not Soul Masters mysteriously disappeared yesterday, leaving almost no trace at the scene."

"According to the preliminary investigation by the federal police, the missing man is named Tang Ziran and the missing woman is named Lang Yue."

Upon hearing these two names, Lu Jun's gaze instantly sharpened.

The dean looked at him and said, word by word:

"They are the adoptive parents of Tang Wulin, a student of this academy."

A chilling coldness instantly surged from the depths of Lu Jun's heart.

He never expected that just after he removed Tang San's divine sense from Tang Wulin's body, the other party's retaliation, or rather, his next move, would come so quickly and so ruthlessly.

Why directly attack Tang Wulin's adoptive parents, who were powerless to resist?

This Tang San truly has no bottom line!

The dean's voice continued, carrying a heavy sense of responsibility:

"This matter concerns the relatives of our students and has a very negative impact."

"The Federation demands that you personally lead a team, including Gu Yuena, Yuan Enyehui, Le Zhengyu, Long Chen, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Tang Wulin, to Aolai City immediately to thoroughly investigate the cause of this matter, resolve the incident, and ensure the safe rescue of Tang Wulin's parents!" Lu Jun suppressed his anger and nodded.

"Understood. What about Wu Siduo?"

The dean pondered for a moment and said:

"Wusido will follow your arrangements as before; she also needs experience."

"In short, the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda have a clear stance: this is both a test and a trial for you."

"We will not send any high-level Soul Masters to protect you secretly. You will have to face and solve everything on your own. You must grow up as quickly as possible and become strong enough to stand on your own. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Lu Jun's voice was calm and firm. "If there's nothing else, I'll go and gather the team members now, and we'll set off immediately."

The dean nodded slightly, watching Lu Jun's departing figure, and couldn't help but add another sentence, his tone full of meaning:

"Mr. Lu... please be careful. Also, I'm entrusting Wu Siduo to you."

Lu Jun did not stop walking; he simply turned his back to the dean and gently waved his hand to indicate that he had heard.

The most urgent task is to immediately assemble the troops and head to Aolai City.

Tang San... your methods are still as despicable as ever.

Lu Jun's eyes flashed with a chilling light.

Then let me see what kind of trap you've laid for us.

Without further delay, Lu Jun quickly typed in the group chat interface of the soul guide communicator.

[Lu Jun]: @All members, urgent mission. I've already sent you the details of the mission and intelligence; please check them yourselves. Also, assemble immediately at the main gate of the academy; we'll depart in ten minutes. This mission is very important.

Less than three seconds after the message was sent, replies started popping up one after another.

[Le Zhengyu]: Received! What's the task, Mr. Lu? Why so urgent?
[Yuan En Ye Hui]: Received. Coming soon. Also, Yue Zheng Yu, instead of asking Lu Jun what the mission is, you should check the details of the mission Lu Jun sent us.

[Le Zhengyu]: Tsk, the class monitor is really strict.

[Xie Xie]: Here I come! Finally, I have work to do!
【Long Chen】: Understood.

[Xu Xiaoyan]: Received! Coming soon!
[Tang Wulin]: Received!

[Le Zhengyu]: Mr. Lu, where exactly should we meet? The area by the main gate is quite large.

Lu Jun thought for a moment and then replied.

[Lu Jun]: It's right below the largest sun and moon emblem sculpture at the main entrance; it's quite conspicuous.

Next, he used the communicator to add Wu Siduo's account to the group chat.

"Wu Siduo" has joined the group chat.

The sudden addition of this newcomer immediately aroused curiosity.

[Xie Xie]: Huh? Who's this? A new teammate?
[Long Chen]: A newbie? Welcome, welcome.

Lu Jun gave a concise explanation.

[Lu Jun]: Wu Siduo, a student from the Eastern Continent. She's on a joint mission assigned by the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda, and I'm responsible for close observation and monitoring. She must accompany me on this mission. Let's get to know each other.

[Le Zhengyu]: Oh, I see... Wait a minute! (｀Д)!! This account's profile picture and name... could it be a girl?

Xie Xie's big mouth was instantly ignited, and his fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed.

[Xie Xie]: Haha! Le Zhengyu, you guessed right! And she's a super beautiful woman! Her looks are off the charts, maybe only slightly less stunning than Sister Gu Yue! And this is Sister Gu Yue…

Before he could even send that message, another message popped up on the screen.

[Gu Yuena]: Hmm? (End of Chapter)
