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

Chapter 26 The Youngest Spirit Master in History
"Master Tower, this..."

"Immediately! Right now!" Qian Gu Dongfeng practically roared. "All spectators must sign a contract: if anyone leaks even a single word about what happened today..."

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"Understood, I'll give the order immediately." The subordinate trembled and immediately turned to carry out the order.

Qian Gu Dong Feng looked at the screen again, where Lu Jun was standing swaying precariously.

A complex light flickered in the eyes of the shrewd and calculating tower master.

"Such a genius..." he murmured to himself, "either he'll be used by me, or..."

"Alas, what a pity. He is Leng Yaozhu's disciple. Although he is also a member of the Spirit Pagoda, he is fully capable of taking the position of the Spirit Pagoda Master."

"This is not good."

The ancient east wind seemed to mutter to itself, and the indoor temperature suddenly dropped a few degrees.

Meanwhile, the spectator hall finally awoke from its shock.

"Wow—"

A roar like a tsunami erupted instantly.

All the core disciples jumped up from their seats. Some rubbed their eyes frantically, some pinched their thighs hard, and some even slapped themselves, as if trying to confirm that they weren't dreaming.

"What did I just see?!"

"He won?! He really won?!"

"That's the Spirit Ice Douluo! No one in the same level has been able to defeat him in the past ten thousand years!"

Qian Gu Zhangting's face was as pale as paper. He stared intently at the screen, his lips trembling incessantly.

As a genius of an ancient family, he understood what this meant better than anyone else.

The record of being able to withstand Huo Yuhao's ancestor for five minutes already qualifies one to become the master of the Spirit Pagoda.

Let alone defeating them!
"Oh no, he was too good at it, he overdid it."

Leng Yulai, on the contrary, was somewhat worried.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuena looked up.

"He's performing too well; what if someone targets him?"

Leng Yulai became anxious and stood there.

“Now that someone from the Tang Clan has taken a liking to him, what if someone else… Just thinking about it gives me a bigger headache.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jun woke up in the cabin. The blinding white light made him subconsciously raise his hand to shield his eyes.

The pain was as if all the bones in my body were being crushed and reassembled, especially the sharp pain in my temples.

That's a consequence of overexerting one's mental energy.

"woke up?"

Leng Yulai's voice came from beside her.

Lu Jun turned his head and saw Leng Yulai leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

Gu Yuena remained quietly at the stern of the cabin. When she saw him wake up, her purple eyes beneath her silver hair lit up slightly.

"Master Sister".

Lu Jun suddenly said.

"I kept my word."

"You truly kept your word. Your victory this time can only be described as earth-shattering." Seeing that he was somewhat weak, Leng Yulai quickly handed him some pills to help him recover.

"Now look what's happened. I reckon the entire upper echelon of the Spirit Pagoda is in an uproar."

"...I just took advantage of the situation and then cheated." Lu Jun chuckled.

Without the cold poison, he wouldn't have been able to win.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection was really too unfair.

That's why it's called a "wall-hanger" (a term used to describe someone who is overpowered).

Fortunately, he also has his own cheat code.

“Regardless, being able to defeat Huo Yuhao, an ancestor of the same level, is also a testament to your ability.” Leng Yulai shook her head.

"Let's go back to the hall. The assessment is almost over, and the results should be out by now."

When Leng Yulai returned to the hall with Lu Jun and Gu Yuena, the entire core disciple area of ​​the Spirit Transmission Tower instantly fell silent.

Hundreds of eyes turned to Lu Jun, their gazes a mixture of shock, awe, jealousy, and disbelief. The once noisy hall was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Qian Gu Zhangting stood at the very front of the crowd, his expression incredibly interesting.

The assessment period is almost over.

The lower grades were the first to be assessed, and by the time it was Qian Gu Zhang Ting's turn, the higher grades were the last to be assessed.

There were fewer core disciples in the senior years, so the wait was short but quickly ended.

"quiet."

A stern command came from the high platform.

Everyone looked up and saw that four high-ranking figures from the Spirit Pagoda, dressed in long robes, had somehow appeared there.

The leader glanced at the core disciples below and nodded slowly.

"We will now announce the final results of this core disciple assessment."

His voice echoed throughout the hall, each word carrying immense weight.

"First place, Lu Jun."

Although it was expected, the announcement of the name still elicited a collective gasp of surprise from the hall.

"Second place, Gu Yuena."

"Third place, the Eternal Pavilion..."

The ancient pavilion, whose name was called, seemed somewhat speechless.

I was outdone by two nine-year-old kids.

But their performance was indeed remarkable, much better than mine.

After the rankings were announced, the person on the platform said again:
"Given the outstanding performance of Lu Jun's first-place core disciple, the respected Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower personally decided to officially bestow upon him the title of Spirit Transmission Envoy."

"From this day forward, Lu Jun will enjoy the highest level of resource allocation from the Spirit Pagoda. At the same time, we are willing to sponsor all of Lu Jun's free soul spirits, including 100,000-year soul spirits, as well as all the resources to make a four-word battle armor from a one-word battle armor."

He paused, then said forcefully:
"Completely free."

A collective gasp rippled through the audience.

Each of the items read above is a treasure that everyone present could only dream of but never obtain.

Whether it's the fact that all soul spirits are free, or the materials for crafting battle armor, etc.

Which of these things doesn't require a fortune, painstaking effort, and immense wealth to acquire?

Not to mention how many materials it would take to create one's own unique battle armor.

Most importantly, Lu Jun was only nine years old when he was appointed as a Spirit Messenger?
This is already a high-level position in the Spirit Pagoda, yet it was held by a nine-year-old child?
"in addition……"

The person on the platform suddenly became stern.

"All data and records from today's battlefield are classified as confidential. Everyone present must sign the contract immediately, or else..."

His gaze swept across everyone in the audience like a sharp blade:

"The core disciple status will be immediately revoked, and corresponding responsibilities will be pursued according to the severity of the circumstances."

Lu Jun was stunned by the unexpected windfall from the Spirit Pagoda.

"This……"

“This is an open conspiracy,” Leng Yulai explained softly. “I didn’t expect that old guy Qian Gu Dongfeng would also be personally overseeing this assessment. Well, that makes sense, after all, his most beloved grandson is here.”

"From then on, your status in the Spirit Pagoda rose, and the Spirit Pagoda was willing to sponsor you with all the soul spirits you needed, as well as all the resources for making battle armor. It is clear that they are going to give you all the resources."

Lu Jun subconsciously swallowed and said in a deep voice:
"What price would I have to pay to accept such great benefits?"

"Very good, it seems you haven't been blinded by this overwhelming wealth." Leng Yulai smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Whether Qian Gu Dong Feng wants to recruit you directly or destroy you, I can't say for sure. Anyway, I can't fathom what that old man is thinking."

Leng Yulai said in a low voice.

"Regardless, congratulations on becoming the youngest Spirit Transmission Master in the history of the Spirit Transmission Tower."

Lu Jun: "..."

I should have just let the score run down; it would have been so much better to control the points.

Now look what's happened, we're being targeted again.

Is this the price of going too far?
