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

Lu Jun, who sensed this change in his mind, couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth into a barely perceptible smile, even while he was asleep.

Goodness, go ahead and bet, bet whatever you want.

You can keep pressing your limits, I'll keep pressing mine.

This wave, this wave of "pressure turning into motivation," is a sure win!
Sitting beside him, Gu Yuena, with her powerful spiritual perception, keenly sensed the qualitative change and sublimation of Lu Jun's spiritual power in that instant. Her purple eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief.

"Good heavens... no wonder he's a master who's returned after retraining..."

She clicked her tongue inwardly in amazement.

"He can break through to the Divine Origin Realm while sleeping... If word got out, the entire Soul Master world would probably go crazy..."

Gu Yuena was completely convinced. Faced with Lu Jun's illogical way of leveling up, she seemed to have no choice but to sigh and accept it.

……

Meanwhile, deep within Sun and Moon City, in the command center of the heavily guarded Dragon Valley secret underground base.

Federal Headquarters Speaker Xu Tiandi sat in a wheelchair, staring expressionlessly at the enormous soul-guided screen in front of him. The screen clearly replayed the scene of Tang Wulin and his group's fierce battle against the Green Skull organization's mecha forces, displaying every detail and every clash of soul skills with perfect clarity.

Dai Tianling, the representative of the Star Luo Empire who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was full of amazement and couldn't help but praise him repeatedly:

"Incredible, truly incredible! Speaker Xu, these young talents from your continent are truly outstanding individuals!"

"Eight people working together were able to rout and wipe out a Green Skull organization's elite mech force of over a hundred people!"

"Especially Miss Gu Yuena, her Soul Douluo cultivation is so powerful, it is truly unprecedented!"

"And that Lu Jun is truly unfathomable. He can deflect a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball with the flick of his finger. He truly deserves the title of the number one genius on the continent!"

Despite Dai Tianling's lavish praise, Emperor Xu remained unmoved, his face still cold.

He calmly and quickly scanned the battle replay, then shifted his gaze from the screen, his sharp, hawk-like eyes landing on Dai Tianling. His tone was calm, yet carried an imposing, unyielding pressure:

“Speaker Dai, they are indeed the future pillars of our Federation. But, shouldn’t we get down to business now?”

He abruptly changed the subject, his voice turning cold.

"Now that you've praised them, what about you?"

"Why has the situation in the Eastern Continent deteriorated to such an extent? How can a Green Skull organization, along with a remnant of the already weakened Tang Clan, be so rampant, even directly attacking the capital city of Sun Moon City, where the Eastern Continent Federation branch is located!"

His voice echoed in the empty command room, each word striking Dai Tianling's heart like a heavy hammer.

"What kind of behavior is this?! Are all the members of the Federation branch in the Eastern Continent just sitting around doing nothing?!"

As he spoke, Xu Tiandi's extremely imposing gaze slowly swept over the old man behind Dai Tianling, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, exuding a profound and imposing aura. This old man was Enci, the guardian deity of the Eastern Continent, a Limit Douluo with the Martial Soul of the Holy Light Dragon. "Moreover, as far as I know, besides Enci, there is at least one other reclusive Limit Douluo in the Eastern Continent. In addition, there are several main army groups from the Eastern Continent stationed here, well-equipped and with formidable forces. How could such a force be forced into such a sorry state by a bunch of rabble?"

"I need a reasonable explanation."

Dai Tianling's forehead was slightly sweaty and his face was full of embarrassment as he was bombarded with questions from Xu Tiandi.

He quickly bowed, his tone tinged with grievance and a desire to explain:
"Speaker Xu, please calm down. It's not that we haven't tried our best, it's just that... the enemy is too cunning and powerful!"

He wiped the sweat from his brow and continued:

"That Green Skull organization, it seems, has received secret assistance from the gods from somewhere. Their methods are unpredictable and their high-end combat forces are constantly emerging!"

"The remnants of the Tang Clan, on the other hand, used their unique soul guidance technology to develop interference and suppression equipment specifically designed to target the large soul guidance devices of our army groups, making it difficult for our forces to fully utilize their numerical advantage."

"What's even more terrifying is... according to reliable intelligence, the two sect leaders of the Haotian Sect, Niu Tian and Titan, have also secretly arrived in the Eastern Continent and sided with them!"

Dai Tianling's voice carried a hint of bitterness and helplessness:

"Those two from the Clear Sky Sect are level 99 Limit Douluo at the Quasi-God level, and the other one is even more unfathomable... Under the combined suppression of these forces, we were really... really alone and helpless, which is why they were able to advance all the way to the foot of Sun Moon City... I, I really did my best!"

After hearing this, Emperor Xu's face remained gloomy, but the fierce look in his eyes softened slightly.

He snorted coldly, offering no further rebukes, but simply said in a deep voice:
"Let's leave the past defeats aside for now. From now on, the Federation Headquarters will directly intervene in the war on the Eastern Continent. The Central Legion, the Sea God Legion, and my Imperial Guard will arrive one after another to take over the complete eradication of the Green Skull organization and the remnants of the Tang Clan. Your branch will just need to cooperate in this regard."

He paused, then emphasized:

"Our primary objective now is to ensure that Lu Jun and Gu Yuena arrive at the base safely, and then send them into Dragon Valley on time to enhance their strength. This is the key to turning the tide of the future battle!"

Just then, a specially made encrypted communicator on Xu Tiandi's wrist vibrated slightly.

He raised his hand and tapped the screen. A message from Ghost Emperor Gui Yan popped up, its content concise yet shocking:

"The coordinates of most of the Green Skull organization's secret branches and strongholds in the Eastern Continent have been preliminarily confirmed, and the map has been transmitted. The area... almost covers all major cities and strategic locations in the Eastern Continent."

Immediately afterwards, a detailed electronic map of the Eastern Continent unfolded on the adjacent sub-screen, densely marked with dozens of scarlet dots, like festering sores covering the map of the Eastern Continent.

As Xu Tiandi looked at the map, which was almost entirely covered in red dots, his face instantly turned ashen, then flushed with a purplish-red hue that seemed to suppress a raging fury.

Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

An anti-federal extremist terrorist organization has infiltrated to such an extent!
The situation in the Eastern Continent was far more severe and deteriorating than he had anticipated!
He took a deep breath and, without the slightest hesitation, issued a top-level command to Ghost Emperor Gui Yan directly through the encrypted communicator:
"From this moment forward, under your leadership, with the full cooperation of all personnel, mobilize all necessary resources to carry out a swift and decisive sweep of all Green Skull organization branches and bases that have been identified!"

"I'm only giving you seven days. After seven days, I don't want to see any red dots still lit up!" (End of Chapter)
