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

Chapter 637 Lu Jun's Sleep Is Abnormal!
He quickly composed himself, his face regaining its impeccable smile, one of concern and respect. He strode forward, bowing slightly, and said:
"Speaker Xu, you must be tired from your journey."

His gaze landed precisely on Xu Tiandi's legs, which were covered by a thin blanket, and his tone was filled with just the right amount of worry and indignation.

"Speaker, for the sake of the Federation's cause, you personally went to great lengths, resulting in... Alas, seeing you in such a state, we are heartbroken and filled with hatred for those traitors from Shrek Academy!"

"I wonder if your injuries have improved? Our branch has some rare healing medicines unique to the Eastern Continent, which might be of some help to you?"

His words, ostensibly concerned about the injuries, were actually a test of Xu Tiandi's current state and mind, while also implying that the Eastern Continent was not without value and possessed unique resources.

Xu Tiandi sat in his wheelchair, his face calm and expressionless. He merely glanced at Dai Tianling's seemingly sincere greeting, his gaze like a cold blade, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.

"Speaker Dai, thank you for your concern. A small price to bring Shrek to dust is worth it."

His voice was not high, but it carried an unquestionable dignity.

"However, things don't seem to be peaceful on the Eastern Continent these days. The Green Skull organization and the remnants of the Tang Clan have been able to run rampant, repeatedly attacking important strongholds and even threatening the security of the branch..."

“Speaker Dai, your ‘effective governance’ has certainly impressed me.”

His words were blunt, directly pointing out the deteriorating situation in the Eastern Continent and his dissatisfaction with Dai Tianling's management abilities.

Dai Tianling's smile remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat. He immediately cried out in distress and tried to evade the issue:
"Your Excellency, Speaker, it is not that I have not done my best, but... it is that the Green Skull organization has somehow obtained powerful reinforcements, and it seems that there is... a god-level power secretly supporting them!"

"They are elusive and their methods are endless. Although our soldiers are willing to fight, we often feel that we are not up to the task and are stretched thin."

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate is also powerless to do anything but try to maintain the situation and hold on, hoping for reinforcements from headquarters."

He cleverly shifted the blame to "divine assistance," explaining the unfavorable situation while subtly highlighting the complexity and danger of the Eastern Continent issue, implying that Dai Tianling was not incompetent.

"Is it the goddess of beauty?"

Xu Tiandi ignored Dai Tianling's complaints and excuses, and directly threw out a name in a confident tone, as if he already knew everything.

Dai Tianling's smile froze for a moment, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashing in her eyes, before she quickly regained her composure and could only nod with a forced laugh in acknowledgment.

"The Speaker is very perceptive... Indeed, all signs indicate that the one supporting the Green Skull organization is most likely that mysterious and seductive goddess."

Just then, Dai Tianling's attention was drawn to the group of young people behind Xu Tiandi.

These young men and women were all exceptional in temperament and appearance; one could tell at a glance that they were outstanding individuals.

However, the scene at the very back of the line seemed somewhat abrupt.

The girl with purple eyes, silver hair, and unparalleled beauty was carrying a sleeping boy on her back. The boy's head slumped on the girl's shoulder, and he was sleeping soundly.

Dai Tianling couldn't help but look at it a few more times out of curiosity, and tentatively asked:

"Speaker Xu, these must be the young talents cultivated by headquarters, right? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young... But that young man in the back, who is he...?"

Emperor Xu Tian glanced in the direction of his gaze and calmly offered an explanation:
“Young people are energetic, but they get tired too. As the captain of this team, Lu Jun, he naturally has more things to consider and take on than others, so it’s normal that he’s more exhausted.” He casually attributed Lu Jun’s abnormality to “captain’s duties” and “excessive exertion,” answering Dai Tianling’s question while subtly protecting the image of his own people.

Upon hearing this, Dai Tianling immediately wore an expression of "sudden realization," his tone carrying a hint of exaggerated admiration:
"So that's how it is. So this is Lu Jun, the number one genius who is famous throughout the continent. Indeed... well, seeing is believing. Although I met him in my dream, his... well, his diligent and hardworking spirit really makes us ashamed."

His words were quite skillful, both flattering Lu Jun and subtly mocking him.

After exchanging a few more perfunctory pleasantries, Dai Tianling personally led the group of genius soul masters from headquarters onto the luxurious soul-guided vehicles that had been prepared in advance, and drove towards Sun and Moon City, the capital of the Eastern Continent.

Sun and Moon City is located in the core area of ​​the Eastern Continent. The city covers a vast area, but it retains tall and thick city walls that are very rare in the Douluo Continent. The overall style is more like a majestic city from ancient times.

The city walls are densely covered with various types of soul-guided turrets and defensive soul-guided devices, gleaming with a sinister metallic luster, silently telling the story of the turbulent state of this continent.

However, once you pass through the city gate and enter the city, the familiar atmosphere of a modern metropolis immediately comes into view.

The streets are wide, bustling with traffic, and a constant flow of people.

Apart from the architectural details featuring some rustic patterns unique to the Eastern Continent and the regional characteristics in the clothing of pedestrians, this place is not fundamentally different from any other major city in the Douluo Continent.

After a long flight, they finally set foot on the soil of a bustling metropolis, and the young people couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, curiously looking around at the capital of this foreign continent.

They were put up in an extremely luxurious hotel.

The hotel's overall color scheme is gold and white, with extremely luxurious decor that exudes an air of splendor. Even young people like Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Long Chen, who are not from wealthy families, were arranged to stay in very spacious and comfortable luxury suites.

Gu Yuena carried Lu Jun into their suite, carefully placed the "Sleeping Beauty" on the soft bed, covered him with a blanket, and adjusted the position of the pillows.

She observed Lu Jun carefully and found that his physical condition was actually very good. His blood and qi were abundant and his soul power was stable. With his current physique, it was impossible for him to be so tired from physical exertion alone.

"But the mental exhaustion is obvious..."

Gu Yuena looked at Lu Jun's slightly furrowed brows, even in his sleep, and sighed with heartache.

"Looks like he's really exhausted."

However, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, leaving her stunned.

its not right……

Lu Jun has been sleeping for a whole day!

I've been sleeping on the plane since yesterday, without even changing my position much.

With his god-like spiritual essence and physical qualities, even if he were exhausted, it would be impossible for him to sleep for so long and be so...unaware?
This is definitely not normal!
