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

Gu Yuena chuckled softly and added:
"Oh, right, and the soundproofing of the room. I thought it was pretty good, but... the noise from Hyotei last night seemed to have an unusually strong penetrating power."

"ah!"

Hyotei's already flushed face turned even redder, almost to the point of bleeding. She couldn't help but push Yukito away, scolding her playfully.

"What are you all yelling about here? If you were in my shoes, you'd be no better! You might even be worse than me!"

Upon hearing this, even the usually aloof and cold Snow Emperor couldn't help but blush at the roots of her ears, spat out a curse, and stopped talking.

Only Gu Yuena appeared the most composed, resting her chin on her hand as she watched them tease each other, her purple eyes full of laughter.

Tsk, it seems that in some ways, they are not as open as I am.

Listening to their unrestrained discussion, Lu Jun felt a little embarrassed and sighed.

Silently, she pushed a specially prepared, highly nutritious soul beast milk in front of Hyotei, her tone tinged with concern:
"Cough... I need to replenish my energy."

Hyotei lowered his head, wishing he could bury his face in the cup, and made a soft "hmm" in a voice barely audible. He then obediently took small sips, trying to use the food to cover up his embarrassment.

Lu Jun quickly changed the subject, making conversation as he went:

"Today I still need to go to the Spirit Transmission Tower to handle the final adjustments to the Spirit Ascension Platform. It seems that my Ice Dragon Soul Spirit should be able to take this opportunity to officially ascend to the 100,000-year level."

He looked at Gu Yuena and asked:
"By the way, how are the dragon souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings that I gave you before being preserved? Are there any signs of them reviving?"

When the matter was brought up, Gu Yuena's smile faded, and she nodded seriously, her face showing delight:

"Yes, it's well preserved. Thanks to the increasingly rich life energy and dragon aura in the core area of ​​the Ascension Platform, the dragon souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings are much more solid than before, and their core consciousnesses seem to be slowly awakening."

"The most important original dragon soul is still there. As long as I can successfully find and fuse with the heart of the dragon god, and thoroughly become familiar with and control that power, I may be able to try to make them reappear in the world."

"That's good." Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction. Reviving the two Dragon Kings would undoubtedly be two powerful trump cards for future battles against god-level enemies.

Just then, Leng Yaozhu came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit and said in a slightly formal tone:

"Oh, right, there's a notification. This afternoon, you and Nana need to go to the Federation headquarters. It seems that the Federation's high command has decided to officially send you to the Eastern Continent to be responsible for eradicating the increasingly rampant Green Skull organization and the remnants of the Tang Clan."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun and Gu Yuena were both taken aback, and then their faces simultaneously revealed smiles of anticipation and fighting spirit.

“Finally…” Lu Jun put down his cutlery, his eyes gleaming, “This moment has finally come.”

The conflicts in the Eastern Continent will be the next testing ground for their strength and sharpening their edge.

And a much larger stage seems to be slowly unfolding before them.

……

The afternoon sun shone through the massive glass dome of the Federal Headquarters building, casting its light onto the gleaming marble floor. Lu Jun and Gu Yuena arrived at the designated meeting hall on time; they were not the only invitees.

This place is home to a new generation of prodigies nurtured by the Federation, and also the core team that made outstanding contributions in the operation to wipe out the various branches of the Tang Clan.

Lu Jun and Gu Yuena were closest to each other, so they were the first to arrive.

The third person to arrive was a dazzling figure.

Without a doubt, it's Yue Zhengyu.

Le Zhengyu has a tall and straight figure, and his well-tailored white outfit accentuates his extraordinary temperament.

His brilliant blond hair shone brightly in the sunlight, and a signature smile, tinged with a hint of wickedness and cynicism, played on his lips as he strode toward Lu Jun.

The two approached rapidly, and just as they were about to stand face to face, Lu Jun suddenly struck out without warning, delivering a palm strike to Le Zhengyu's chest. This palm strike, though seemingly swift, did not contain much soul power; it was more like a special greeting between men upon a long-awaited reunion.

Le Zhengyu seemed to have anticipated this, and he blocked the attack at almost the same time.

Their right hands collided precisely in mid-air, producing a crisp "snap" sound, and then their fingers tightened, gripping each other tightly.

Lu Jun pulled slightly, and without a doubt, in terms of pure strength, Le Zhengyu was still far behind him. He was pulled and stumbled, his shoulder lightly bumping against Lu Jun's shoulder.

But after this somewhat abrupt greeting, the two burst into laughter at the same time, their tacit understanding and friendship forged from fighting side by side were unspoken.

"Welcome back."

Lu Jun squeezed his hand tightly.

"Isn't this a bit too passionate?" Le Zhengyu chuckled, glancing mischievously at Gu Yuena next to Lu Jun. "Your Gu Yuena is watching from the side. Don't let her misunderstand anything."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena glanced at Le Zhengyu with her purple eyes, her tone calm yet tinged with a hint of teasing:
"Long time no see, Yue Zhengyu. Your smooth talk is almost catching up with Xie Xie's. As for your cultivation... the progress is so-so."

She paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, and added something that would make Le Zhengyu jump in anger:
"However, rather than believing that Mr. Lu is interested in men, I would rather believe that he has no interest in women at all."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's smile vanished instantly, and he glared at Gu Yuena with annoyance.

"Hahahaha!"

Le Zhengyu was amused by Gu Yuena's words and laughed heartily, not taking them to heart at all.

"By the way, where are the others? I'm not the third one to arrive, am I?"

Le Zhengyu looked around.

"Over this long period of time, everyone has been honing their skills and improving themselves in places that suit them. Currently, besides us, the only other people permanently stationed in Mingdu are you, Wu Siduo, and Long Chen."

Lu Jun explained with a smile, then asked with concern.

"How was the magic herb I gave you before? How effective was it?"

"The effect is outstanding!" Le Zhengyu's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up. "It directly made my soul power jump three levels. Most importantly, it greatly purified and amplified my holy light attribute, and I feel that my martial soul origin has become much stronger."

"Godfather! You are so loyal! We will follow you for life!"

He patted his chest, with a hint of pride:

"Thanks to you, I am now the rightful next successor of the Angel Family. I am a level 79 Soul Saint at around eighteen years old. Although I can't compare to a freak like you, I am still considered to be of some skill among my peers, right?"

"Congratulations!" Lu Jun was genuinely happy for him.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, another beautiful figure entered the hall. It was Wu Siduo.

Years have passed, and she has grown into an even more beautiful and charming woman with a well-proportioned figure. In particular, her long, straight legs, honed through countless trials, are exceptionally eye-catching.

However, upon seeing Lu Jun, a blush involuntarily rose on her pretty face, her eyes darted away, and she greeted him softly:

"You...you're here too."

Clearly, the accident at the villa last time still makes her feel somewhat embarrassed and ashamed.

"Nonsense, the Federation summoned us to assemble, if I'm not there, where am I supposed to be?"

Lu Jun rolled his eyes helplessly, trying to defuse the awkward situation with a calm attitude. (End of Chapter)
