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

Chapter 21 The Shrek Seven Devils Ten Thousand Years Ago

Leng Yulai pushed open the metal door, gesturing for Lu Jun to follow.

The layout of the room was very similar to that of the room leading to the Spirit Ascension Platform, with a silver-white soul guidance pod placed in the center and surrounded by sophisticated data terminals.

Directly in front of them was a huge soul-guided screen, on which a girl of about fourteen years old was fiercely fighting against a petite figure controlling a giant cauldron.

“That is…” Lu Jun’s gaze sharpened.

"Xiao Xiao, one of the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago." Leng Yulai crossed her arms and watched the battle with great interest.

"The challenge for you in this assessment is to defeat the Shrek Seven Devils, who were once the most glorious team in history."

In the scene, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron crashed down. The girl tried to dodge, but it was too late. She was crushed to death by the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and her figure vanished instantly.

“She lost,” Leng Yulai said. “But being able to last five minutes in a match of the same level is still a high score.”

Lu Jun stared at the battle replay on the screen, lost in thought.

"So, my opponent is also..."

“That’s right.” Leng Yulai snapped her fingers, and the soul guidance pod slowly opened. “The system will select seven people from the database of powerful figures throughout history. They could be the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago, or they could be data from a modern Title Douluo in their youth.”

She suddenly leaned closer, a dangerous smile curving her red lips:

"By the way, you might also draw Huo Yuhao's ancestor."

"This was the top expert who came closest to becoming a god since Tang San ascended to the God Realm 20,000 years ago. It's just a pity that he couldn't escape the passage of life. He completely disappeared without a trace before he died of old age."

"As for where he went, nobody knows. Some say he became a god, while others say he died of old age."

"But based on my judgment, he probably died of old age when his lifespan was exhausted. If he really became a god, the commotion would definitely be huge, and someone would surely discover and record it."

Lu Jun nodded slightly.

Huo Yuhao... didn't ascend to godhood?

Is the butterfly effect he created really that exaggerated?

Logically speaking, shouldn't Tang San be thinking about Huo Yuhao, the chosen one?

What exactly happened ten thousand years ago that prevented Huo Yuhao from becoming a god?

Thinking about it carefully, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor inside Lu Jun's body didn't go with Huo Yuhao, but stayed with him instead.

Could it be related to this?
Losing the two great opportunities of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor actually prevented Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's god-making plan from succeeding.

Lu Jun frowned and began to think.

Leng Yulai's way of addressing Huo Yuhao remained unchanged; she still called him Lingbing Douluo.

That means that although Huo Yuhao lost his second martial soul, the Ultimate Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, he still has another ultimate ice martial soul.

"I will win."

Lu Jun calmly replied.

Leng Yulai was taken aback at first, and then glanced at Lu Jun.

Seeing his calm expression, Leng Yulai realized what he was talking about, then burst into laughter and vigorously ruffled Lu Jun's hair:
"You brat, others can't even beat the Shrek Seven Devils of the same level, yet you dare to boast that you can."

"This makes me like your personality more and more, haha."

Leng Yulai grabbed Lu Jun's head with her hand and laughed wildly.

Soon, the scene on the large screen in front of them changed, and a beautiful figure with silver hair and purple eyes slowly stepped into the virtual battlefield.

It released two purple spirit rings and began to fight.

"Gu Yuena?"

Lu Jun's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

Gu Yuena's first battle was against Xiao Xiao.

In terms of the same level, Xiao Xiao has a greater advantage due to having twin martial souls.

However, Gu Yuena's combat power is truly terrifying.

Lu Jun watched Gu Yuena fight on the screen, and in less than three minutes, she defeated Xiao Xiao, who was of the same level.

This surprised Leng Yulai, who was watching with them.

"Sister's taste is just too good..."

This means she's gained two top disciples! Gu Yuena's next opponent was a somewhat roguish-looking man wielding a Xuan Turtle Shield.

"That's one of the Shrek Seven Devils, named Xu Sanshi," Leng Yulai began to introduce to Lu Jun.

While introducing the legends of the Shrek Seven Devils, they watched as Gu Yuena overcame all obstacles and defeated them one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yuena's score had already reached number one, surpassing all the core disciples.

The entire hall outside fell silent; everyone held their breath, staring intently at the screen.

"too strong……"

"Is she really a Great Soul Master?"

"Can Qian Gu Zhangting really defeat these top experts from all generations with such ease, just like she did?"

As they spoke, some people turned their gaze to Qian Gu Zhang Ting.

"It won't be that easy."

Qian Gu Zhangting crossed his arms, watched the spectacle, and shook his head.

"Although our ancestors were powerful, in the second ring, no matter how strong their combat power was, they could not display more skills."

"But there is one exception."

Qian Gu Zhangting stared at Gu Yuena on the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"She will soon hit a bottleneck."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone saw who Gu Yuena's next opponent would be.

When that familiar figure appeared on the battlefield, everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat.

Including Lu Jun.

Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo and one of the founders of the Spirit Pagoda, appeared before everyone for the first time in this way.

At this moment, on the virtual battlefield, he stood opposite Gu Yuena, two white spirit rings flashing out from beneath his feet.

“This is a soul skill disguised from Huo Yuhao’s ancestor,” Leng Yulai said. “If you dare to underestimate him, you won’t even know how you died.”

Gu Yuena's expression instantly turned serious as she engaged in a fierce battle with Huo Yuhao on the screen.

Gu Yuena was eliminated in just one minute.

"It's a pity, but the fact that she was able to meet Huo Yuhao's ancestor means that her score is very high. At least she is currently the first in the entire competition, which is already very good."

Leng Yulai seemed to have thought of something, and looked somewhat regretful.

"Back then, even I myself never encountered Huo Yuhao's ancestor."

"The next core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda is Lu Jun."

The electronic synthesized sound filled the room, startling Lu Jun awake.

"Go ahead, it's your turn." Leng Yulai patted Lu Jun on the shoulder. "Don't feel pressured. What that girl can do, you can do too."

"Go."

Is this considered a consolation?

Lu Jun held back his answer and obediently entered the cabin, then lay down.

When he opened his eyes, all around him was a vast expanse of white.

Beneath his feet lay a smooth, mirror-like floor, reflecting his slightly tense figure.

"The assessment begins."

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in the void.

"Opponent selection: Xiao Xiao, one of the Shrek Seven Devils from 10,000 years ago, at the three-ring Soul Master stage."

"Beat your opponent, or hold out for five minutes, and you'll score."

White light condensed, and a petite figure gradually took shape not far in front of Lu Jun.

"Please advise."

Before she finished speaking, two yellow and one purple soul rings appeared, and the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron roared as it smashed towards Lu Jun's face.
