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

Chapter 102 Investment!

Le Zhengyu practically ran into the classroom of the senior class, ignoring the surprised looks from his classmates. He plopped down in his seat, eagerly turned on the soul communication device on his wrist, and opened the official website of the Continental Genius Youth Ranking.

The ranking page was refreshed, and the top-ranked names were all household names, representing the pinnacle of the younger generation's fighting power.

Le Zhengyu's gaze swept quickly, searching for the name he had just exchanged contact numbers with: Lu Jun.

However... Yue Zhengyu discovered that there was no need to search at all.

Right at the fourth position on the list, in a very conspicuous spot, it was clearly marked:

Fourth place: Lu Jun (Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy)
Title: Ice Sword

Martial Soul: Ice Abyss Sword (Ultimate Ice Attribute)
Cultivation level: Level 36 (estimated)

Evaluation: The number one person below the Soul King, unparalleled in offensive and defensive combat!
"Hiss... Heavens, ranked fourth on the list of genius teenagers?"

Le Zhengyu gasped in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

He had only guessed that Lu Jun was on the list, but he never expected him to be ranked so high.

Fourth place!

What is this concept?
Among the younger generation of the entire Douluo Continent, those who can rank ahead of him are probably only those legendary monsters.

Moreover, the phrase "the number one person below the Soul King" in the evaluation is incredibly domineering.

How talented must someone be?
He's only ten years old and he's already ranked fourth. When he turns eighteen, won't he be number one on the list of young geniuses?
He is almost certain to be on the mainland's list of most popular people in the future.

Moreover, it has the potential to rank among the top three.

After the immense shock, an indescribable surge of joy instantly welled up in Le Zhengyu's heart.

He slapped his thigh suddenly, drawing the attention of the students next to him, and roared inwardly:
"We've made a killing! This is a huge profit!"

Originally, I just wanted to resolve a minor conflict at the Ascension Platform, but I ended up clinging to such a powerful patron?
Befriending such a peerless genius would bring immeasurable benefits to the Angel Family in the future.

Whether it's a potential alliance or a possible future exchange of resources and information sharing, the value is unimaginable!

Le Zhengyu's mind raced, and his excitement was almost overflowing.
"It seems I'll have to 'invest' in this junior, Lu Jun, properly from now on. I'll try my best to provide whatever he needs."

"Lack of rare metals? My Angel Family has abundant reserves. Need special intelligence? I have extensive connections! Need sparring partners? I... I'll do my best to hold on."

He could almost see his future family elders patting him on the shoulder and praising him for his "good taste".

"Hey!" Le Zhengyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, suddenly feeling that his future was bright.

Meanwhile, on the college path leading to Class 1 of the middle grades.

Lu Jun walked briskly, still immersed in the relaxed atmosphere of his unexpected reconciliation with Le Zhengyu, pondering how to build a closer relationship with this wealthy scion and then make a proper deal.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared silently beside him, walking alongside him.

"How's it going with the design drawings?" Gu Yuena's clear voice rang out, carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern.

Without exchanging pleasantries, she went straight to the point, naturally asking about the battle armor design drawings she had given to Lu Jun.

Lu Jun turned his head, looked at the flawless profile of the girl beside him, and smiled sincerely, giving her a thumbs up:

"Exquisite, simply divine! What I lack now is time and materials to forge the blank into shape, and then properly forge and craft it." Upon hearing Lu Jun's affirmation, Gu Yuena's lips curved upwards almost imperceptibly, but the smile vanished in an instant.

She gave a soft "hmm," then changed the subject:
"I heard that our class got a new homeroom teacher."

"Yes, Teacher Leng mentioned it, saying that they are very strong." Lu Jun nodded, and the two chatted naturally, walking in unison toward the brightly lit teaching building.

The moment they stepped into the classroom side by side, the previously noisy classroom instantly quieted down.

Many eyes are focused on them, some with admiration, some with curiosity, and some with scrutiny.

Lu Jun's gaze habitually swept towards the podium. When he saw that familiar and aloof figure, he was slightly taken aback and even paused in his steps.

Dancing in the sky?
Isn't he a teacher at Tunghai College?

How did he end up here? And why is he their new homeroom teacher?
Wu Changkong also noticed the commotion at the door immediately. He raised his eyes and his calm, unwavering gaze landed precisely on Lu Jun.

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment in mid-air.

Wu Changkong then withdrew his gaze.

Lu Jun suppressed his surprise, his expression returned to normal, and he nodded slightly in Wu Changkong's direction as a greeting. Then he and Gu Yuena walked to their seats.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan, who were sitting in the last row, had their eyes light up the moment they saw Lu Jun and Gu Yuena enter.

Tang Wulin, in particular, clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes filled with excitement and fighting spirit.

He finally saw his target up close.

"Wow, Lu Jun, Gu Yuena, they really came." Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Sitting next to them, Long Chen felt a pang of jealousy when he saw Tang Wulin and the other two looking at each other with the excitement of little fans meeting their idols.

He puffed out his chest, coughed twice deliberately, and pointed to his own nose:
"Hey, hey, hey, so you only know Brother Lu and Sister Gu Yue? What about me? I'm also on the list of genius teenagers, okay? I'm a Soul Master at around ten years old. Ten years old, that's not bad talent, is it?"

"You?" Xie Xie looked Long Chen up and down suspiciously, then honestly took out his communicator, opened the list of genius teenagers, and began searching. "A ten-year-old Soul Master is quite impressive... What's your name again? Holy Dragon Long Chen, right? Let me see..."

Long Chen waited expectantly.

Xie Xie's fingers swiped rapidly, flipping through the list from the first page to the last...

Finally, his finger stopped on a name at the very bottom of the list.

"Uh, found it, 30th place, Long Chen." Xie Xie looked up, his expression somewhat subtle. "He's pretty impressive, it's good enough to be on the list... but..."

He subconsciously glanced at Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, who were already seated and talking in hushed tones.

"Compared to the two of them... cough cough."

The unspoken words are self-evident.

Long Chen's face flushed red instantly, like a boiled shrimp, and he stubbornly argued:
"Well, well, we definitely can't compare to those monsters. Are Brother Lu and Sister Gu Yue even human? They're prodigies! I'm already very satisfied to be on the list!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a calm and unwavering gaze fall upon him.

Lu Jun turned his head at some point, looking at him with a half-smile:
"Long Chen, who are you calling a pervert?"
