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

Long Yue watched as Qian Gu Zhangting surrendered and left, then proudly raised his bald neck, like a victorious lion. With the air of a victor, he took the pale golden dragon soul energy body that had caused the dispute and was floating in the center of the battlefield into his palm, preparing to absorb it.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to Lu Jun and Wu Siduo, who were standing not far away.

Especially Lu Jun, who is hailed as the number one genius on the continent and whose reputation far surpasses his own, has long aroused his strong desire to compare and compete.

He longed to know just how capable this number one genius truly was, without the advantage of a martial spirit.

Therefore, Long Yue temporarily put away the dragon soul, walked steadily towards Lu Jun, his dark red eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and issued a loud challenge:

"Lord Lu, I have long admired your name. This place is unsuitable for using martial spirits, making it an excellent place to test pure physical strength and combat skills. Would you dare to spar with me, Long Yue?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun merely glanced at him indifferently, his gaze calm and unwavering, as if he were looking at an ignorant child. He then looked away, his tone tinged with laziness and impatience:
"I am not interested."

“I’m not like that fool Qian Gu Zhangting, who has so much precious time to waste on pointless sparring.”

"If you want to fight, go find someone else to fight with, don't block our way."

This blunt and even somewhat contemptuous response immediately angered the proud and arrogant Long Yue, whose face darkened.

Qian Gu Zhangting, who had just walked a short distance but had been listening intently to the commotion, was enraged when Lu Jun called him a fool again. He abruptly turned around and glared at Lu Jun.

"Lu Jun! Who are you calling a fool?!"

Lu Jun didn't even bother to turn his head, and directly admitted it frankly, his tone matter-of-fact:

"You. Who else could it be?"

"you--!"

Qian Gu Zhangting was so enraged by his attitude that he almost choked. He laughed in anger, pointed at Lu Jun, and said in a provocative tone:
"Lu Jun, stop pretending!"

"You're only able to act so arrogantly outside because of your extreme ice attribute and your super weapon spirit!"

"Without your martial spirit, without that sword, especially here, what are you? Without those external things, you're just trash!"

Faced with Qian Gu Zhangting's furious denigration, Lu Jun casually picked at his ear as if he had heard some noise, then responded in a calm yet sharp tone:

"Only by defeating a true strongman can one prove their talent and ability."

"But there are always some people in the world who like to flaunt their pitiful and pathetic sense of superiority by belittling others."

He paused, his gaze seemingly sweeping across the ancient pavilion, his voice still calm, yet every word piercing:
"This kind of character flaw, which comes from the core of one's personality, often causes people to lose their most basic judgment at critical moments, and in the end... they can only helplessly and helplessly face that cold and desperate reality."

These words, like invisible needles, precisely pierced the most sensitive and vulnerable part of Qian Guzhangting's heart.

He was so choked up that his face turned red, his blood rushed to his head, and his finger pointing at Lu Jun trembled with anger.

Overwhelmed by intense shame and indignation, he instantly lost his temper. He turned to look at Long Yue, whose expression was equally unpleasant, and sharply proposed:
"Long Yue, this kid is too arrogant! I suggest we join forces temporarily and teach this guy who only relies on his martial spirit to be arrogant a lesson!"

"Let him know that without external things, he is nothing!"

Long Yue was already dissatisfied with Lu Jun's disdain, and now, upon hearing Qian Gu Zhangting's suggestion and seeing Lu Jun's calm and collected demeanor, his competitive spirit and anger were completely ignited.

A fierce glint flashed in his dark red eyes, and he replied in a deep voice:

"agree!"

Before the words were even finished, Long Yue's towering figure unleashed terrifying speed, like a cannonball fired from a gun. He shattered the ground with a single step, and his iron fist, as big as a sand pot, tore through the air with an overwhelming, domineering force, slamming towards Lu Jun's face. As Long Yue's iron fist, containing terrifying power enough to shatter rocks and split stones, hurtled towards Lu Jun's face, the gust of wind rushed towards him, and even the air seemed to groan under its own weight.

Standing beside Lu Jun, Wu Siduo showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, her beautiful eyes lit up, and a strong fighting spirit burst forth from her body.

She was naturally decisive and combative, and after absorbing a lot of dragon cloud energy, she felt full of power and longed for a battle to test the results.

"Good timing! Let me have a go at you!"

Wu Siduo let out a sharp cry, her blood and qi surging within her body, and she was about to step forward to take the punch for Lu Jun.

Just as she was about to take a step, a warm and strong hand gently rested on her shoulder. The seemingly casual movement carried an undeniable and steady strength, instantly calming her restless blood and fighting spirit.

"What's good?"

Lu Jun's slightly helpless voice rang in her ear. He glanced at Wu Siduo, his eyes looking at her like they were looking at an impulsive child.

"You just said that idiot Qian Gu Zhang Ting was wasting time, and now you're going to be an idiot along with him?"

"What good would it do to go head-to-head with this kind of bull, besides getting your clothes dirty?"

Before he could finish speaking, Long Yue's ferocious fist had already smashed down with immense force.

However, just before the fist was about to touch Lu Jun's nose, Lu Jun's arm around Wu Siduo's shoulder moved slightly—

"Shh!"

The two figures suddenly blurred in place, and in the next instant, they appeared silently on a boulder a thousand meters away, their clothes fluttering, as if they had never moved, or as if they had always been standing there.

Shrink to an inch!

This is not a soul skill driven by soul power, but a mysterious footwork that allows the physical body to resonate with heaven and earth after understanding the rules of space to a certain extent, so that one can ignore distance with a single step.

This scene caused Long Yue, whose punch missed its mark and whose strength had nowhere to go but instead caused his blood and qi to surge, to widen his dark red eyes instantly, his face filled with disbelief and horror.

"Shrink...shrink the earth to an inch? How could he possibly..."

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Long Yue's heart.

How old is Lu Jun?

She looks several years younger than me!

They've actually mastered such a profound and unfathomable movement technique?

What profound understanding of the laws of space is required for this?

However, before he could recover from the shock of that extreme speed—

"Crack! Crack!"

Two crisp, clear slaps, like jade striking each other, rang out almost simultaneously. Though not loud, they were clearly audible to everyone present.

Then, a jaw-dropping scene happened.

The previously aggressive Long Yue and Qian Gu Zhangting, who stood not far away with a defiant and angry expression, seemed to have been slapped hard by an invisible giant hand. Both let out a muffled groan, their bodies uncontrollably staggering backward, a clear, bright red handprint appearing on their faces at a visible speed! (End of Chapter)
