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

Chapter 20 The Core Disciples of the Spirit Pagoda

Leng Yulai's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, and the morning mist outside the car window made her profile appear particularly hazy.

"An evil martial spirit?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"In fact, the Spirit Hall's actions 20,000 years ago already gave us the answer."

"There are no people who are born evil soul masters; there are only soul masters who willingly degenerate."

"During the reign of the Spirit Hall, the contemporary Pope Bibi Dong, as recorded in history, also possessed an evil spirit, but she was not an evil spirit master."

“We are not the same people we were 10,000 years ago. We have our own ways of dealing with martial souls that have dark attributes and are evil.”

"We can sponsor spirits. As long as the person is kind, what does it matter if the spirit is evil? As long as it doesn't harm people, that's enough."

"For those who need blood, we will arrange for blood to be extracted from unintelligent animal soul beasts, or from various blood bags in hospitals. We have legal channels to obtain them, and we will take as much as we need."

"If you need death energy, just go to the cemetery; there's plenty of death energy there."

"In addition, with the spirit technology of our Spirit Pagoda, and the protection of various spirit beast forests, there is no way to hunt spirit beasts and obtain spirit rings now."

"Ah, of course, we can't protect the ocean, so they might go to the ocean to hunt for the soul rings of sea spirit beasts, which might not even be suitable for them, haha."

As she spoke, Leng Yulai even started to laugh.

"There are plenty of ways to guide people with special martial souls onto the right path. The only difference is whether the Spirit Pagoda wants to do it or not. Besides, we live in the age of spirits now, which makes controlling them much easier. Why not just use spirits?"

"Even evil spirit masters who are unwilling to join the Spirit Pagoda will be monitored by our department at all times. If they lose control of their martial spirit's instincts and fall into depravity and commit crimes, we will stop them immediately and put them in solitary confinement."

"Until he can resist his martial spirit instincts."

"If they still can't resist, then there's nothing we can do. We can't just let them out and harm people. They really have to be locked up for life, or euthanized."

Lu Jun's back was pressed tightly against the seat, and his heart was beating slightly faster.

"So, this means there are no more evil spirit masters in this era?"

"It's not that there's no such thing, but we can't take a definite attitude towards everything."

Leng Yulai denied Lu Jun's idea.

"But we are also trying to make this era a better one, instead of being like Shrek Academy, which only accepts disciples with backgrounds and talents, and has become an independent royal city that does not accept any national control."

Leng Yulai's voice gradually turned cold.

"They take in the most talented disciples and ridiculously call themselves the number one academy on the continent, capable of producing even better geniuses."

"They talk about punishing evil spirit masters, establishing an inspection team, and the Tang Sect's Soul Fighting Hall, but they won't pay any price to eliminate the threat of evil spirit masters at its root."

"All they know is killing."

"Therefore, the task of eliminating the root of evil soul masters naturally falls to the Spirit Pagoda."

"They even claim to be monitoring the behavior of the entire continent. All I see is them reaping the benefits, spending the best resources, and supporting a bunch of old fogies who cling to outdated ideas and do nothing. And yet, they happen to be the ones with the highest cultivation levels and the most threatening abilities."

"That godforsaken place, let's just blow it up and be done with it."

Leng Yulai became more and more excited as she spoke.

Lu Jun was silent for a moment, then said:

"Master, do you really dislike Shrek Academy?"

"I stayed there for a while, chanting 'Shrek Glory, Glory' every day. Was it brainwashing?"

"After graduating from the School of Foreign Languages, I never went to the School of Internal Medicine again; it made me feel restless."

"On the contrary, my elder sister went into the inner courtyard to continue her cultivation."

Lu Jun then suddenly realized what was going on.

Perhaps this is why the sisters didn't become enemies?
Leng Yulai didn't fall in love with Yun Ming.

That's not surprising.

However, when it comes to brainwashing, Shrek Academy is indeed quite impressive.

In the original story, he never understood why Tang Wulin, who had only been living in the inner courtyard for a short time, was disliked by Yun Ming.

Even after the academy was bombed, they still resolutely upheld the honor of Shrek Academy and rebuilt it.

They didn't stay in the inner courtyard for very long, and even in the outer courtyard, they were sent to the Star Luo Empire after only a year or two.

This puzzled Lu Jun greatly.

"Okay, I've gone too far. I shouldn't have said these things to you."

Leng Yulai recovered.

"All you need to do now is focus on your cultivation and not think too much." Soon, they returned to the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

Leng Yulai led Lu Jun through the heavy soul-guided metal gate, and suddenly the view opened up before them.

Inside the spacious hall, hundreds of young men and women, mostly between the ages of fourteen and twenty, stood in neat rows, each wearing a badge of a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda on their chest.

Dozens of giant soul-guided screens floated on the ceiling, displaying the assessment rules and precautions in real time.

"Follow me."

Leng Yulai's black trench coat stood out in the crowd, and students gave way wherever she went, whispering among themselves.

"The assessment content this year is very simple."

Leng Yulai explained to Lu Jun.

"Enter the virtual world and defeat the corresponding opponents."

"Them?" Lu Jun glanced at the core disciples who were also looking at him.

"No, it's not."

Leng Yulai laughed.

"You'll soon find out that they're all familiar opponents."

"The more you win, the higher your ranking as a core disciple will be, and the more the Spirit Pagoda will value you."

"Only competition can ignite people's competitive spirit and motivate them to improve, right?"

Lu Jun laughed:

"Yes."

Suddenly, Lu Jun heard a commotion erupt ahead.

"Look, it's the Ancient Pavilion!"

The crowd parted to both sides like a tide, and a young man who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old walked slowly towards them.

"I heard he broke through to the fifth ring last year and is expected to reach the Soul Emperor realm before he turns twenty."

"Not to mention that his grandfather is the current tower master, and he will definitely inherit the Spirit Transmission Tower in the future!"

Lu Jun didn't react much.

The ancient Zhangting Pavilion.

he knows.

That's the dragon knight, isn't it?

It's a pity that this achievement was accomplished in an illusion.

Qian Gu Zhangting seemed oblivious to the surrounding discussions, but his gaze was fixed directly on Leng Yulai.

"Aunt Leng." He bowed to Leng Yulai, his voice gentle and refined, "Is this your newly accepted disciple?"

Leng Yulai ignored him completely and led Lu Jun to the other side.

"Let's go."

The ancient pavilion stood frozen in place, and the entire hall fell silent instantly.

This made Lu Jun realize the relationship between the Leng sisters and the Qian Gu family.

It's really not easy to deal with.

“Those are members of the Qian Gu family. My advice is not to have casual contact with them.”

Leng Yulai snorted.

"Is it because the Tower Master is thinking about the teacher?" Lu Jun blinked.

Leng Yulai bent down and tapped his forehead with her hand:
"...So young, why are you so gossipy?"

Lu Jun remained silent.

Isn't this what you all said?!
"However, what I hate about this kid is that he actually called me 'auntie'!"

Leng Yulai was getting a little frantic.

Do I look that old?

Lu Jun did not speak.

So that's the main reason after all...
