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

Chapter 689 The Federal Speaker's Schemes

Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, causing the surrounding space to ripple slightly.
"Mine is the Space Dragon King! My Star Wheel Ice Staff has also awakened for the second time. The pure ice attribute is gone, leaving only the starlight attribute. Moreover, the added space attribute makes my control even more domineering."

Listening to his companions sharing their astonishingly similar adventures, Lu Jun suddenly realized that everyone's gains were similar: they had all received the favor and inheritance of a Dragon King-level Dragon Soul.

This Dragon Valley is truly full of opportunities.

Only Gu Yuena, who knew the truth, simply stood beside Lu Jun with a faint smile, without explaining the real reason behind it all.

At this moment, the officer in charge of guiding them into Dragon Valley came over.

When he sensed the undisguised, dazzling aura of Title Douluo emanating from this group of young people, he was instantly frozen in place, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

When they went in, they were clearly just a group of Soul Saints with decent talent!
How long has it been?

one day?
Two days?

They all became Title Douluo as soon as they appeared?!
Several people even had stronger soul power fluctuations than him, a veteran soul master!

The effects of the items in Dragon Valley are absolutely incredible!
This...this is simply not in accordance with the fundamental principles of Soul Master cultivation!
The officer's mind was completely in disarray, and his worldview suffered an unprecedented shock.

Such an astonishing collective breakthrough could not be hidden, nor could it be concealed.

In a state of extreme shock and elation, the officer in charge of the escort immediately reported this miraculous news to Xu Tiandi, the Supreme Speaker of the Federal Council, through encrypted communication channels.

Upon hearing this news on the other end of the communication, Emperor Xu remained silent for several seconds. Then, even through the communicator, one could feel his barely suppressed excitement and exhilaration.

He immediately issued an order for an officer to personally lead Lu Jun and his group to the Federal Central Building in Sun and Moon City.

Not long after, in the solemn and dignified office of the Federal Speaker, Lu Jun and the others met again with this leader who controlled the lifeline of the Eastern Continent.

Emperor Xu was still sitting in that specially made wheelchair. His face looked slightly more haggard than before, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

When his powerful divine sense swept over the group of young people in front of him, and he clearly sensed the powerful and undeniable aura of a Title Douluo on each of them, even with his composure and self-control, an undisguised look of shock appeared on his face.

This improvement is simply unbelievable.

This is simply against the common sense of the Soul Master world!
But after the initial shock came a surge of joy and determination. Xu Tiandi slammed his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair and shouted in a booming voice:
"Good! Good! Good!"

His gaze swept intently over the crowd, and he said in a deep voice:

"Children, you have returned at just the right time! Your increased strength is a godsend!"

He paused slightly, gathering his emotions, and continued:
"I have decided that in three days, right here in the central square of Sun and Moon City, I will hold a live-streamed speech on the Soul Guidance Network, which will cover the entire continent!"

His voice carried an undeniable firmness and infectious power:

"Our goal is to revitalize the morale and confidence of the people of the Eastern Continent! We want all those who are bewildered and anxious to see that the Federation remains strong and is still holding firm!"

"We must let everyone know that the Green Skull organization, these demons and monsters, won't be able to run rampant for long!" His tone shifted, his eyes turning cold and sharp.

"However, this will also be a huge trap, a calculated scheme, and the Green Skull organization will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"They will surely spare no effort and pay any price to launch the most ferocious assassination attempt while I am giving a speech!"

"If I, Emperor Xu, am seriously injured or even perish, the Federation's prestige will suffer a devastating blow, and the hearts of the people in the Eastern Continent will be completely shattered."

His gaze finally settled on Lu Jun and the others, carrying a heavy entrustment:
"Therefore, I need your strength, your sudden and powerful strength that can change the course of the battle."

"Your breakthrough is crucial. The security for the day of the speech is now in your hands."

Born into an angelic family and possessing a natural sense of belonging to the Federation, Yue Zhengyu was the first to step forward. He placed his right hand on his chest, performed a standard salute, and spoke in a firm and resonant voice:
"Your Excellency Speaker, rest assured, we guarantee the mission will be completed. We will defend the scene to the death and will never allow the Green Skull organization's conspiracy to succeed!"

"We swear to protect them to the death!"

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, and others responded solemnly, their momentum unstoppable.

Unlike the others, Lu Jun was not excited. His gaze calmly fell on Xu Tiandi, especially on his legs, which seemed to hang limply on the wheelchair footrest but were actually fitted with the latest soul-guided mechanical prosthetics.

Even though he could walk with a prosthetic leg, he still chose to sit in a wheelchair...

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Jun, and he guessed Xu Tiandi's deeper plan.

This guy... wants to use his tragic image of being "severely injured and disabled" to give a speech in front of the public while suffering from "pain," in order to maximize the public's sympathy, support, and faith!

Is he trying to use this opportunity to harvest a massive amount of faith power to repair his damaged demigod status, or even break through to the true god level?

Good guy!
That's some serious business acumen!

Lu Jun couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was indeed a risky move, but also a brilliant one.

However, without these variables who unexpectedly obtained the Dragon King's inheritance and whose strength increased dramatically, Xu Tiandi's actions would have been tantamount to courting death, and he would probably have truly perished under the assassination attempt of the Green Skull.

Even with the Eternal Heaven's level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon as a trump card, he probably wouldn't be able to contend with the goddess behind the Green Skull organization.

As soon as this question arose in Lu Jun's mind, he immediately thought of the terrifying power of the four level-12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that directly blasted Tang San's divine sense projection to ashes during the previous operation to wipe out Shrek City.

Thinking about it this way... Xu Tiandi, who possesses the ultimate weapon such as the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, seems to actually have the confidence to go toe-to-toe with god-level powerhouses?

After all, this is the crystallization of the Federation's cutting-edge technology, which has developed independently over the past ten thousand years without the technological gap caused by Huo Yuhao's explosion, without the excessive constraints from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, and without the direct intervention of Tang San and the God Realm!
Lu Jun's lips twitched slightly. Just imagining Xu Tiandi being forced into a desperate situation and recklessly detonating the Eternal Heaven Kingdom made even him feel a chill run down his spine.

If that thing were to explode in the center of Sun and Moon City… not only would the Green Skull organization be wiped off the map, but the entire Sun and Moon City would be destroyed. That would truly be a lose-lose situation for everyone. (End of Chapter)
