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

Chapter 42 Arrival in Tianhai City

When everyone stepped inside the Soul Guidance Train, they were once again shocked by the scene before them.

The interior walls of the carriage are made of top-grade Soul Guidance Alloy, emitting a faint blue halo.

The leather seats are embroidered with the Federation emblem, and each seat is equipped with a small soul-guided screen and emergency protection device.

Long Chen carefully touched the seat, as if afraid of getting it dirty.

"Brother Lu." He leaned close to Lu Jun, his voice extremely low, "Tell me the truth, are you the heir of some reclusive family?"

Lu Jun rubbed his temples helplessly:
"Would you believe me if I said I was from the Leng family?"

He will likely inherit Leng Yaozhu's position in the future.

So there shouldn't be anything wrong with saying that you are a member of the Leng family?
The Leng family is, after all, a long-established family that has ascended to the Spirit Tower, only slightly inferior to the Qian Gu family.

"real or fake?!"

Long Chen was so excited he almost jumped up.

“It’s fake.” Lu Jun immediately extinguished Long Chen’s expectations, found a seat and sat down. “If I were a member of the Leng family, I should be called Leng Jun, not Lu Jun.”

"Forehead……"

Long Chen's expression instantly collapsed, like a punctured balloon.

He slumped his shoulders and muttered:
"Brother Lu, you're kidding me. But isn't it a bit too much to have the Federation people personally escort us?"

"We're probably not that important to the Federation, are we?"

"That's your opinion. You think we're unimportant, but Lu Jun is quite important. At least the Federation thinks highly of him."

Gu Yuena had already sat down quietly next to Lu Jun and whispered.

"Someone doesn't want us to arrive in Tianhai City safely. These arrangements are just a message to the enemy lurking in the shadows."

Her purple eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice turned cold.

"If you want to take action, first consider whether you are qualified."

The atmosphere at the scene immediately fell silent.

The train slowly started moving, and the mechs took off simultaneously, forming a guard formation to protect the train in the center.

Through the panoramic sunroof, you can see the black mechs cruising at a higher altitude, with their soul-guided cannons ready to fire at any moment.

Lu Jun gazed at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window and silently withdrew his gaze.

This time, probably no one will dare to attack them.

Practice.

……

As the Soul Guidance Train slowly pulled into the central station of Tianhai City, Lu Jun, through the window, witnessed for the first time the splendor of the largest city on the East Coast.

Under the sunlight, Tianhai City resembles a bright pearl inlaid on the azure coastline, with its towering Soul Guidance Towers shimmering with metallic luster.

The most breathtaking sight is the boundless blue sea. Looking out from the station exit, the entire city seems to float on the sea. In the distance, dozens of giant warships are moored in the harbor, their black cannons gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"That's the home port of the Federation's Seventh Fleet." The teacher leading the group pointed to the largest warship in the distance and introduced it to the students, his tone full of pride. "It's 480 meters long and equipped with 36 level-nine fixed-mount soul-guided cannons. It's the most advanced one available today..."

As a master of ice-attribute spirits, Lu Jun could clearly sense the dense water element fluctuations in the air. This city was practically a sacred training ground for water-attribute spirit masters.

It could be considered a suitable place for him to cultivate.

As soon as they exited the station, a group of officials from Tianhai City had been waiting for them for some time.

The man at the head of the group stepped forward and bowed upon seeing the teacher leading the group: "Welcome to everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. I am from the Tianhai City Administrative Residence..."

His words were suddenly interrupted by a commotion. The area around the station was packed with onlookers, and more than a dozen reporters were desperately pushing their way forward with their cameras.

"Look! It's the geniuses from Sun Moon Academy!"

"That silver-haired girl is so pretty!"

"And that boy in white is handsome too."

"I heard they're going to challenge Shrek Academy this time!"

A female reporter wearing glasses broke through the security cordon and shoved her microphone directly in front of Lu Jun:

"Students! As representatives of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, are you confident that you can defeat Shrek Academy, the number one school on the continent, in the exhibition match?" Before Lu Jun could even speak, the security guards dutifully chased the reporters away.

"I'm sorry, the locals were a little...overly enthusiastic towards you," the man said apologetically.

"That's a good thing." The teacher in charge nodded, then subconsciously asked, "By the way, is it just as lively here for the Shrek Academy team?"

"Well, as far as I know... Shrek Academy seems to be even more lively than yours..."

The moment the man uttered those words, the officials beside him twitched.

You really know how to stir up trouble.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy are inherently irreconcilable enemies, and both want to undermine the other in every way.

Won't your words provoke their anger?

"is it?"

As expected, the teacher in charge turned cold and snorted unhappily.

"After the exhibition match, I believe everyone will understand which academy is rightfully the number one academy on the mainland."

The security guards quickly cleared a path, and amidst a flurry of flashing lights, the group swiftly boarded the waiting luxury soul guide vehicle.

The convoy drove along the coastline for about twenty minutes before finally stopping in front of a uniquely designed building.

The hotel resembles a giant seashell half-embedded in the sea, constructed entirely of transparent glass that reflects dreamlike colors under the setting sun.

“The Pearl of the Sea Hotel,” the man leading the group introduced, “is one of the landmark buildings in Tianhai City. Normally, you need to make a reservation in advance, but we use it specifically to entertain VIP guests.”

After Lu Jun's students entered the hotel, the lobby's decor was even more astonishing.

The ground is made of transparent crystal glass, below which lies the azure sea, with schools of colorful sea creatures swimming at your feet.

During check-in, a three-meter-long demonic great white shark swam right past Lu Jun's feet, startling Long Chen so much that he jumped onto the sofa.

"Hahaha, don't worry, they occasionally come to join in the fun and enjoy the prosperity of human cities." The leading man laughed and explained after seeing that Long Chen was frightened. "After all, we have to protect the natural environment and live in harmony with the soul beasts. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

This undoubtedly made Long Chen's face turn red instantly.

Everyone else wasn't scared, but he reacted so strongly.

What a shame!

"Everyone is staying on the top floor." The receptionist handed over the room key with a sweet smile. "Each room has a sea-view terrace where you can enjoy the most beautiful sunrise."

After the elevator took them straight to the top floor, everyone was once again amazed. The corridor was lined with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a panoramic view of the blue sea and sky.

The seven suites allocated to them are arranged in a fan shape, each with a private, curved terrace extending over the sea.

Lu Jun swiped open his door, and the sea breeze immediately rushed towards him.

His room was decorated in blue and white, with the bed facing a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the boundless sea.

Approaching the terrace, you can clearly hear the sound of waves crashing against the building's foundation, as if the entire hotel is breathing with the ocean.

"not bad."

Lu Jun sighed softly.

From this height, the distant fleet appeared to be the size of a toy, and on the even more distant horizon, the setting sun was painting the clouds a golden-red hue.

Cultivating in this environment is almost as good as having a private cultivation room. This unique seaside hotel was also built at great expense.

Not bad, not bad at all.

"Brother Lu, I'm a little hungry. There's a buffet here, how about we go down and grab something to eat later?"

Long Chen rushed in excitedly and said to Lu Jun.

Lu Jun glanced at the time and realized it was already noon.

"also."

His desire to continue cultivating was thus suppressed, so Lu Jun went downstairs with Long Chen to see what delicious food was available at the buffet.

As soon as he went down to the cafeteria where the buffet was served, Lu Jun saw a familiar figure eating heartily at a table, which made his pupils suddenly contract.
