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

Lu Jun's voice suddenly turned cold, his words like ice beads falling onto a jade plate:
"Remember, I'm talking about the ideal outcome where, under your absolute will, the bloodlines of the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King are completely merged into one, ultimately achieving an impeccable and perfect balance, so that they can be controlled at will, with absolutely no risk of going out of control!"

He stood up, as if supported by invisible steps in the void, and walked step by step to eye level with Gu Yuena, his gaze sharp as a knife:

"You must master this process to the point that it becomes as natural and instinctive as breathing and drinking water. You must thoroughly understand and resolve all the risks of loss of control and the subtle points of power conflict that may occur during the fusion process, until you are absolutely certain of success!"

“Now…” he shrugged, his tone laced with undisguised contempt, “you only managed to succeed once by sheer luck.”

"Do you think you can replicate this lucky success with 100% certainty next time, and the time after that, in a life-or-death situation, in that moment of intense mental turmoil?"

"Continue!"

His voice carried an unquestionable majesty, like a divine oracle.

"What I want is for you to succeed a million times in a row, without the slightest mistake whatsoever!"

"I must ensure that no matter what situation we are in, even if the sky collapses and the earth cracks, and your soul is about to perish, you can, at the crucial moment, merge into a complete dragon god without any doubt!"

Gu Yuena: "…………"

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her pupils lost focus, all her strength seemed to have been drained away, and only a desolate lament remained deep within her heart.

You...you might as well just kill me!
She swallowed a non-existent saliva with difficulty, letting out a faint, desperate sob.

goo...

……

Thus, Gu Yuena once again plunged into that seemingly endless cycle of reincarnation.

Time slipped away quietly with each successful integration.

Later on, merging bloodlines and transforming into a dragon god became as simple and casual for her as eating and drinking.

The entire process is no longer a meticulous operation that requires painstaking control, but has been completely transformed into an instinct imprinted deep in the soul and engraved in the bloodline.

She even had a feeling that even if she lost consciousness and fell into the deepest coma, her body could still rely on this absolute instinct to complete the extremely complex fusion ritual on its own, and radiate the complete brilliance of the dragon god.

The repeated successes did not bring her any positive encouragement or joy; instead, they turned her heart into a stagnant pool, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.

I'm numb, completely numb...

Her eyes were empty, her expression indifferent, like a delicate but soulless glass doll, mechanically repeating the eternal cycle of "fusion - reset - fusion again".

As the nine-colored divine light arrived once again as scheduled, the moment the power of the perfect dragon god filled her entire body, before the power could even subside on its own, a figure had already appeared in front of her.

Lu Jun remained as nonchalant as ever, casually dangling a blade of grass from his mouth.

Without any warning, he raised his hand and delivered a swift and precise chop to Gu Yuena's smooth forehead.

"Snapped!"

A soft sound, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation, was like a spark splashed into Gu Yuena's stagnant mind, strangely dispelling some of the numbness and confusion that had enveloped her soul, restoring a trace of clarity and doubt to her empty eyes.

She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her forehead, looking at Lu Jun in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"Alright, that's enough for now."

Lu Jun's tone was unreadable; he calmly announced an astronomical figure that would shock anyone who heard it.

"The total number of times you have performed fusion is 27,523,251."

He paused, his gaze falling on Gu Yuena's face, as if trying to capture the slightest change in her emotions.

"Now, you have successfully completed three million consecutive attempts without any failures."

He finally announced the result that Gu Yuena had waited for for what seemed like countless eons.

"Congratulations, Silver Dragon King, you have finally found the one and only perfect ending and completed this trial."

"..."

Upon hearing this final affirmation, Gu Yuena was stunned, as if she couldn't grasp the meaning behind these simple words.

Immediately, the heart lake, frozen by endless repetition and numbness, seemed to be struck by a red-hot iron, and the ice instantly shattered and melted away.

An indescribable torrent, a mixture of immense grievance, relief, and a faint but real joy, suddenly overwhelmed all her psychological defenses. She's back…

All the feelings have returned.

Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes instantly reddened, and crystal tears quickly filled her eyes, rolling down uncontrollably like pearls from a broken string.

The pride and resilience that had endured for countless years crumbled at this moment.

Lu Jun was simply too strict, almost cruel, showing almost no mercy, repeatedly crushing her dignity and confidence, and forcing her to rebuild herself little by little.

I can't beat them even if I fight them...

With a casual strike, her perfected dragon god form was completely shattered, and even her only way to vent her pent-up frustrations was ruthlessly taken away.

Then, at the moment this final recognition arrived, Gu Yuena burst into tears.

At first, it was suppressed, with faint sobs, like the mournful cries of a wounded animal.

“Woo, woo, woo…”

Finally succeeded.

Finally, I can leave this eternal cage.

Finally, I've gained this despicable guy's approval.

All the emotions eventually converged into a torrent that broke through the dam.

“Woooooa ...

Poor Gu Yuena, the once high and mighty, aloof Silver Dragon King, was now like a child who had suffered all kinds of grievances, crying loudly and recklessly.

The cries sounded particularly loud and heartbreaking in this silent, dreamlike world.

"Eh? Eh?!"

Lu Jun seemed somewhat at a loss for words at the sudden outburst of crying. He scratched his head, a mixture of helplessness and embarrassment on his face.

"Don't cry, the way you're crying... it's like I'm disciplining you here."

"If this gets out, it will be very bad for my great and glorious image."

Gu Yuena's crying abruptly stopped. She raised her tear-filled face, her voice still thick with sobs, and instinctively asked:

"You...aren't you part of the pre-programmed sequence?"

Lu Jun casually shrugged and picked up where she left off, the slight embarrassment on his face instantly replaced by his familiar smug expression:

"Yes, but my settings included the ability to have a conversation with you."

"Isn't it awesome?"

"..."

Gu Yuena's crying stopped completely.

The tears on her face had not yet dried, but her expression instantly changed from aggrieved and pitiful to utter astonishment. Then, like the tectonic movement before a volcanic eruption, a sliver of intense anger gathered in her eyes at a visible speed and began to burn.

Damn it!
You are perfectly capable of having a real conversation with me!

Was all your venomous tongue, mockery, and disregard over the years... intentional?
Realizing this, and recalling the other party's programmed indifference and occasional glimpses of it in those tens of millions of loops, she wondered if it was just a spiritual illusion.

Gu Yuena felt an indescribable surge of shame, anger, and rage that nearly destroyed her reason.

"Lu-Jun!!!"

She let out a scream filled with boundless rage, and the nine-colored divine power that had just subsided around her body began to fluctuate violently and uncontrollably again, on the verge of completely exploding.

Faced with this fury powerful enough to tear stars apart, Lu Jun merely blinked, a smile more infuriating, more cheerful, and even carrying a hint of smug satisfaction than ever before, curling up at the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, it seems the training has been quite effective. The energy fluctuations from this anger are much better controlled than before." (End of Chapter)
