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

Chapter 12 Two Rings vs. Three Rings

Lu Jun moved like lightning, passing through layers of dense forest. The chilling aura of the Ice Abyss Sword condensed into tiny ice crystals beside him, silently cutting through the vines and bushes blocking his path.

When he finally burst out of the bushes, the sight before him made his pupils shrink.

In a clearing in a forest, Gu Yuena was surrounded by a rich spiritual energy from a thousand-year-old soul beast, clearly having just completed a hunt.

But it was precisely this spiritual energy that attracted uninvited guests.

Three teenagers surrounded her in a triangular formation, their eyes fixed intently on the aura of spiritual energy that she had not fully absorbed.

The leader was a tall, red-haired boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with two yellow and one purple accents around him.

He now has two spirits, clearly possessing considerable combat power.

"Hand over the spirit energy of the soul beast," he said coldly. "We've been eyeing that thousand-year-old soul beast for a long time. You just got lucky and killed our soul beast while it was heavily injured."

"I'm only warning you once. Hand over your spiritual energy, and we'll let you go. You can continue hunting other soul beasts."

At first glance, Lu Jun saw a handsome boy of about ten years old standing to the left of this Soul Master, with the faint phantom of the Holy Dragon of Light appearing behind him.

Two yellow spirit rings hovered silently.

"Could this be the Holy Dragon of Light? Haha, for a dragon-type martial soul to encounter the Silver Dragon King is truly like an egg hitting a rock."

Lu Jun was immediately delighted.

Hiding here with the intention of watching the fun unfold, I quietly observe Gu Yuena's rampage.

Besides this boy, the people on either side of him are all three-ring Soul Masters.

She didn't respond to the group's attempt to rob Gu Yuena; she simply tilted her head slightly and glanced at the bushes where Lu Jun was hiding.

"I've been discovered..."

In the bushes, Lu Jun sighed helplessly. He had originally planned to watch the show, but since Gu Yuena had already noticed, there was no point in continuing to hide.

Lu Jun stood up, walked out slowly, and pointed the Ice Abyss Sword diagonally at the ground. The cold air on the sword's edge condensed into a frost mark on the grass.

Her white robes fluttered in the breeze, and the icy blue sword pointed diagonally at the ground. Frost condensed at the tip of the sword into tiny ice crystals, which then fell softly.

His appearance caused a moment of silence in the room, and the eyes of the three Soul Masters all fell on him.

"Heh, another one coming to die?" The red-haired Soul Master sneered, his gaze sweeping over the two yellow soul rings at Lu Jun's feet, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. "A two-ring Great Soul Master dares to interfere in our affairs?"

The Soul Master beside him narrowed his eyes and sneered, "White clothes and blue sword, you're putting on quite a show. Which novel's protagonist are you imitating with that look?"

"...Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to dress like this either."

Lu Jun sighed when this matter was mentioned.

All his clothes were chosen by Leng Yaozhu. He wanted to wear other clothes, but Leng Yaozhu wouldn't allow it and only dressed him in white.

The clothes I bought for him were all custom-made white shirts.

Therefore, Lu Jun strongly suspects that Leng Yaozhu is definitely raising him as if he were Yun Ming.

What strange and wonderful XP systems are there in this world?

I don't understand, I don't understand at all.

Gu Yuena's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. She crossed her arms and took a half step back, clearly in a posture of watching a good show.

Seeing Lu Jun standing still, the red-haired Soul Master thought he was afraid and couldn't help but try to dissuade him:
"You'd better leave quickly. You're so young, only two rings. The hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act isn't for you."

Lu Jun's expression turned strange.

what?
A hero saves a beauty?

I'm just afraid she'll beat you to death.

“I think you’ve misunderstood,” Lu Jun finally spoke, saying calmly, “I didn’t come here for this girl.”

"Oh?"

Both Soul Masters developed some interest in him.

"Then what are you doing?"

"I'm after the spiritual energy within you." As soon as Lu Jun finished speaking, he suddenly brandished the Ice Abyss Sword and revealed his first soul ring.

The Realm of Ice Abyss.

Centered on the sword's edge, terrifying cold air erupted like a tsunami, instantly freezing the air within a hundred meters into ice crystals. The ground cracked with a cracking sound, and countless sharp ice spikes burst forth from the soil, turning the entire area into an icy inferno.

"What...what is this?!" The red-haired Soul Master's expression changed drastically. He tried to retreat, but found that his legs were frozen in place. As for the ten-year-old boy with the Radiant Holy Dragon Martial Soul, he didn't even have time to react before being swallowed up by the oncoming cold wave.

His eyes widened in horror, and his Holy Dragon Martial Soul instinctively erupted in an attempt to resist.

However, his resistance was child's play in the face of extreme ice.

"Click, click-"

Ice crystals began to spread from his ankles and covered his entire body in the blink of an eye.

He remained in a struggling posture, completely frozen into a crystal-clear ice sculpture, even the fear in his pupils was eternally frozen.

"Long Chen!"

The red-haired Soul Master's eyes were bloodshot as he desperately channeled his soul power, causing his three soul rings to flash wildly.

The flames in his hand had just formed a barrier of soul power, attempting to resist the erosion of the cold air.

The fire was extinguished as soon as it appeared by Lu Jun's ultimate ice.

A martial soul with the ultimate attributes is invincible among its peers.

Therefore, even when facing two three-ring Soul Masters, Lu Jun was not afraid.

Lu Jun was so amused by the fact that the Soul Master was a fire-attribute individual that he almost burst out laughing.

It's an elemental advantage, kid.

That way there's even less pressure.

Lu Jun's Ice Abyss Sword trembled slightly, and the temperature within the domain plummeted once again.

"what--!!"

The red-haired Soul Master let out a shrill scream. Frost began to form on his skin, and the blood seeping from his pores froze instantly. It was as if he had been pierced by thousands of ice needles, and he collapsed to his knees in pain.

The other Soul Master was in no better shape; his soul power barrier, under the erosion of the extreme ice, was as fragile as glass, riddled with cracks.

The cold air seeped in through the crack, and his fingers were the first to lose feeling, followed by his arms, chest...

"My martial spirit is suppressed!"

The red-haired Soul Master shouted.

Another Soul Master's third Soul Ring lit up, and the battle axe in his hand immediately flew out, drawing a strange arc in the air, and slammed towards Lu Jun.

However, Lu Jun didn't even lift his eyelids.

With a slight thought, thick ice walls suddenly rose from the ground in front of him.

The battle axe struck the ice wall, but couldn't even leave a crack.

The surface of the ice wall glowed with a faint blue light, absorbing all the energy of the attack and becoming even more solid.

"How is this possible?!" The Soul Master's pupils shrank dramatically.

Even more terrifying, the cold air that had invaded their bodies began to spread wildly.

"Ugh—!"

The red-haired Soul Master suddenly knelt on the ground, and spiderweb-like ice-blue patterns appeared on his skin. Every breath he took was accompanied by excruciating pain.

The soul power in the meridians was like a frozen river, its flow becoming increasingly sluggish.

His flame martial spirit was like child's play in front of the ultimate ice.

The chill flowed upwards along the soul power circuit, heading straight for the heart.

In the blink of an eye, his soul power was running out, and he was horrified to discover that his blood was gradually congealing.

The two looked at Lu Jun slowly approaching in despair. At this moment, the white-clad youth was more terrifying than death itself in their eyes.

Lu Jun finally raised the Ice Abyss Sword again, and the second soul ring swirling around the sword lit up.

Second Soul Skill: Ice Abyss Slash.

The sword trembled slightly, emitting a clear, melodious hum, and Lu Jun once again activated his mental power.

The next moment, countless swords formed from ice crystals burst out from the two Soul Masters' bodies, sending them directly back to their hometowns.

Two rings against three rings, easily defeated.
