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

His gaze naturally fell on Xue Di, who had been waiting by his side the whole time, gazing at him with undisguised expectation and a hint of tenderness in her clear, beautiful eyes.

The Snow Empress met his gaze, a faint smile that could eclipse all other beauty appearing on her exquisite face, and she said softly:
"After waiting for so long, it's finally... my turn."

Her voice remained cool and clear, yet it contained an undeniable firmness and a sense of relief at having fulfilled her long-cherished wish.

Lu Jun's lips also curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Yes, we've finally waited for this moment." He paused, then said, "However, fusing souls, especially for someone like you, will likely be a difficult process. We'll need our teacher's help to protect us and ensure everything goes smoothly."

This trip to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was far more fruitful than expected, and it was truly perfect!

Not only did they almost destroy the Tang Sect's core fighting force in Douluo Continent, and cause the deaths of the two Palace Masters, Ruthless and Passionate, they also seized control of this precious land.

It was copied into the Soul Fusion Skill, "Emotionally Moving Heaven," which was powerful enough to turn the tide of battle.

They received the potential assistance of driving out the Golden Ancient Tree Nea Silver.

His own strength has also leaped to the level 80 bottleneck, and he is about to obtain the Snow Emperor's Soul Spirit, which will cause his strength to increase again.

All the preparations seemed to be complete.

Lu Jun's gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, looking towards a distant direction.

"Next... I wonder how well the Sun Moon Federation is preparing for its final purge of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect?"

After his thoughts drifted a while, Lu Jun withdrew his gaze and turned to Yuan Enzhentian and his son Yuan Entiandang, who were standing respectfully to the side. His tone was calm:

"Once this matter is settled, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the immortal herbs within it will be entrusted to your Yuanen family for safekeeping and management."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhentian was first shocked, then his face showed disbelief, fear, and excitement. He quickly bowed, his voice stammering due to this sudden and heavy responsibility:
"My God, how... how can this be? My Yuanen family is weak and small in number. How can we bear the responsibility of guarding such a vital place? If anything goes wrong, we will be guilty of a thousand deaths!"

Lu Jun waved his hand dismissively, his tone casual yet carrying absolute control:

"There's no need to belittle yourselves. What you need to do is not to make enemies of the entire continent, but simply to keep an eye on this valley and prevent petty thieves from sneaking in and stealing it."

"With your quasi-god level cultivation, coupled with the power of your Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, even ordinary Title Douluos wouldn't dare to easily attack. Moreover..."

His gaze swept over the swaying, ethereal herbs in the valley, and he said calmly:
"You may also take some of the immortal herbs here as appropriate to enhance your family's strength. Just don't over-harvest and shake the foundation. With stronger strength, you will naturally be better able to protect this place."

Upon hearing that Lord Lu had actually allowed the Yuanen family to use the immortal herb, Qiluo Tulip, who was standing nearby, was immediately shocked and, disregarding her fear, hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Your Excellency! You must not! You should know that even in a treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it would take ten thousand years and countless sun and moon essences to cultivate a spiritual herb with a cultivation of one hundred thousand years!"

His face was full of regret, and his voice was filled with pleading:
"Ten thousand years ago, this place was plundered by the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, severely damaging its vitality. Over the past ten thousand years, we have been cautious and restorative, and it has only been with great difficulty that this place has regained some of its vitality." "If, as you say, we allow the immortal herbs to be taken at will, this place will immediately wither and decay, repeating the fate of ten thousand years ago, and reappearing that desolate scene!"

He pointed to various parts of the valley, his tone urgent:

"In particular, besides the six of us, there are sixteen other rare and precious materials here with cultivation levels exceeding one hundred thousand years! Although they have not developed advanced intelligence under our suppression, they are all true plant-type soul beasts!"

“If anyone threatens their lives, they will fight back to the death. Although their combat power is not as strong as a true 100,000-year-old soul beast, it is far superior to that of an ordinary 10,000-year-old soul beast. The people you brought may not be able to subdue them easily, and it will surely be a catastrophe.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun merely glanced indifferently at Qi Luo Tulip. His gaze was icy and devoid of any emotion, yet it instantly plunged the latter into an icy abyss. The words she was about to say stuck in her throat, and she dared not utter another single word. She lowered her head dejectedly.

"Immortal herbs are spiritual treasures of heaven and earth. Their purpose is to help people improve and break through their limitations." Lu Jun's voice rang out calmly, explaining a truth that he considered unquestionable. "Of course, the medicinal effects of immortal herbs can only reach their peak and be most effective after they have been cultivated for 100,000 years."

His gaze swept over the group of immortal herbs and ferocious beasts again, his tone carrying a condescending scrutiny:

"I understand your desire to protect this birthplace. But you need to understand that your survival and cultivation to your current level are not entirely due to your own efforts, but more so to the unique and precious Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. It is your luck that allowed you to take root here."

"If each of you could cultivate steadily for over two hundred thousand years based on your own potential, possessing sufficient power to protect yourselves and even the ability to resist the laws of the plane, then I naturally wouldn't bother with you. But what was the result?"

Lu Jun's gaze finally settled on the Qiluo Tulip.

"Among all the immortal herbs in this valley, besides you, who else has the absolute confidence to break through the 200,000-year mark? Even you, Qiluo Tulip, ask yourself honestly, do you still have the confidence to continue to improve and survive the next heavenly tribulation?"

Upon hearing this, Qiluo Tulip, along with the five ferocious beasts behind him, including Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, fell into a deathly silence.

Lu Jun's words were like the sharpest knife, precisely dissecting their deepest fears and helplessness.

This is an undeniable fact. They relied on their prime location to achieve rapid growth, but due to insufficient foundation, they almost cut off their future.

Hearing this, Hyotei's beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity. She looked at Kira Tulip and couldn't help but interject, asking:

"Since plant-type soul beasts face such difficulty in cultivation, why do you suppress the development of intelligence in other immortal herbs?"

"If they all possess advanced intelligence and support each other, wouldn't the overall strength of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes be even greater?"

She understood it from the perspective of a spirit beast clan, naturally hoping for as many strong individuals as possible.

Upon hearing this, Qiluo Tulip's face revealed a complex expression of bitterness and mockery, and she said coldly:
"Do you think we don't want to? It's not that we're unwilling, but that we can't! We spiritual beings all rely on the miraculous power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to accelerate our growth. Ten thousand years outside is equivalent to a hundred thousand years of cultivation here!"

"Nothing will happen within ten thousand years, but once one's cultivation reaches the level of one hundred thousand years, one will also have to endure the tribulation that soul beasts must undergo!" (End of this chapter)
