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

Chapter 952 You are not as good as him
After Gu Yuena finished speaking, her gaze swept across the astonished faces of the crowd, finally settling firmly on Lu Jun's eyes, and she began to explain:
"You are important. More important than anyone can imagine."

"So important that no one can replace him."

"Therefore, I cannot, and will never allow, you to suffer such potentially fundamental damage for any reason."

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Jun to reply, she turned to face Huo Yuhao, her tone slightly softer, yet still carrying an undeniable force:
"I'll handle Lu Jun's situation. As for you, Huo Yuhao, I'd like to speak with you privately."

"You'll understand after we talk."

Looking at Gu Yuena's straight back, Lu Jun felt the rare and strong protective instinct emanating from her, and was speechless for a moment.

He had never seen Gu Yuena so domineering, but beneath that domineering exterior lay undisguised concern and protection.

He finally just sighed softly and nodded:

"……it is good."

It feels like the characters' offense and defense have shifted.

Has he become the pampered young wife?
But she's so serious... it doesn't seem like it's easy to refuse.

After all, Lu Jun had never seen her so serious before.

Having received permission, Gu Yuena said no more.

She raised her slender, jade-like hand, her fingertips gleaming with a faint silver light.

A vast and powerful yet extremely refined spiritual force instantly unfolded like an invisible barrier, enveloping her and Huo Yuhao and isolating them from all external prying eyes and sounds.

A hazy silver light formed a semi-transparent spiritual realm, through which the outside world could only see the blurry figures of the two facing each other.

within the field.

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, looking at Gu Yuena opposite him with her silver hair, purple eyes, and imposing aura. He spoke first, his voice calm and unwavering:

"So, Silver Dragon King, what do you want to talk about?"

"It's very simple."

Gu Yuena got straight to the point, without any beating around the bush.

"Stop thinking about Lu Jun's wishes. It's his business if he agrees. But I will never allow him to use his source power on you just to heal your injuries."

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not immediately refute.

Gu Yuena continued, her tone carrying a calm, analytical quality:
"Even if we take a step back and assume you've recovered to your so-called peak condition from ten thousand years ago, so what?"

"You are still not the Supreme God-King. And even if you were the true Supreme God-King..."

She paused, a deep silver glint flashing in her purple eyes:

"They might not be able to deal with the Crimson Domain now."

Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, a faint smile curving his lips, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger:
"Well said. Continue."

Gu Yuena was ruthless, her words like knives:

"Don't think I'm exaggerating or deceiving you, Huo Yuhao. If you were truly confident in taking down the Crimson Domain on your own, it should have been destroyed six thousand years ago. Why has it dragged on until today, leaving you with a chronic illness and Douluo Star hanging on the edge of a knife?"

She took a step closer, her presence oppressive:

"Am I right?"

The slight smile on Huo Yuhao's face disappeared.

He nodded calmly:
"That's right. Behind the Crimson Domain, there is a power that I still cannot fully understand, secretly protecting it. Its arrival on Douluo Star is not accidental, but more like it was tacitly approved by that power, or even guided here."

“This is why I must stop Lu Jun.” Gu Yuena sneered, her voice tinged with coldness. “First, looking at this universe, the only one who can defy the cosmic laws you speak of is Lu Jun.”

"Even in its prime, the fully-fledged Dragon God was no match for it. Do you understand that?"

Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

The Dragon God, that's the supreme being who commands divine beasts and once dominated the divine realm! Even He couldn't contend with Him?
Gu Yuena didn't give him much time to process it; her voice was even lower, yet every word was like a hammer blow:

"Secondly, I have already planted a key in Lu Jun's body that targets that universal law."

"Now is the perfect time to activate it."

"Only Lu Jun has the ability to fight against the Crimson Domain, which is supported by the laws of the universe."

"Third, he is my man."

She looked directly into Huo Yuhao's slightly trembling eyes and stated her conclusion decisively:
"You, Huo Yuhao, are not as good as him."

He's better than me.

These three words, like cold needles, pierced the depths of Huo Yuhao's pride.

Huo Yuhao, ten thousand years ago, single-handedly stirred up the world, inherited the position of the Necromancer Saint Mage, created two great god positions, ended the era when Tang San could cover the sky with one hand and attempted to descend upon the Douluo Continent, suppressed the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and helped the Sun Moon Empire unify the continent.

It has also fought against the abyss and protected Douluo Star for ten thousand years!

Not only that, but they also pioneered many groundbreaking soul tools... and perfected the necromantic plane, completely eradicating the scourge of evil soul masters...

Even if he wasn't inherently arrogant, the confidence ingrained in his bones and the arrogance of a conqueror were real.

Being so bluntly and mercilessly belittled by Gu Yuena, an indescribable sense of frustration and resentment rose in his chest.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, his voice remaining calm, yet carrying a sharp, questioning edge:

"So, can Lu Jun solve this 100%? Can he guarantee victory?"

"Yes."

Gu Yuena's answer was without the slightest hesitation, so decisive it bordered on arrogance.

She raised her delicate chin, her silver hair flowing like a starry river in the spiritual realm. The absolute confidence that came from her bloodline and understanding made her aura at this moment even surpass that of the heavily injured God King.

"it is good."

Huo Yuhao suddenly smiled, but there was no warmth in that smile, only a frozen calm.

"Silver Dragon King, we shall wait and see."

"I will do what I'm supposed to do and fulfill my responsibilities without complaint." His tone was calm, yet sharp. "And what you are supposed to do, if you fail to do..."

His gaze suddenly sharpened like a knife, and a chilling killing intent that had been dormant for millennia spread out as if it were a tangible thing. Despite his weakness, it was still terrifying.

"Before Douluo Star completely falls, I will definitely kill you first. It was you who made the wrong choice for everyone."

The blatant threat came from a god-king whose pride had been challenged and who was burdened with a strong sense of protection.

Faced with this undisguised killing intent, Gu Yuena merely snorted softly. Instead of fear, her purple eyes blazed with even more intense silver flames.

Just as rumored, this personality is truly extreme.

Even if you lose, do you really think you can make me pay the price before everything is over?

"Then give it a try."

She did not back down at all, and even leaned forward slightly.

"Let's see if you have the ability to kill me ten thousand years from now."

"hehe."

Huo Yuhao chuckled softly, his laughter carrying a sense of world-weariness mixed with a hint of rebellious arrogance.

"Those who underestimated me... are mostly dead now. Silver Dragon King, even though ten thousand years have passed and things have changed, if I were to use all my remaining abilities to make you pay the price for your arrogance today... I can still do it."
