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

Chapter 47 A Naked Provocation of Shrek

The whole place was dead silent.

Seventeen seconds.

It took only seventeen seconds.

The runner-up team of the Tianhai Alliance was completely devastated.

They were even faster than the Shrek Academy team.

It's clear that both teams are already calculating their moves at this point.

An eerie silence fell over the entire Tianhai Grand Arena, as if even breathing had been frozen.

After a brief silence, the entire stadium erupted in deafening gasps!

"This is even faster than Shrek Academy?!"

"Hahaha, I knew Sun Moon Royal could do it! Go for it! I've cast all my votes for you, you have to win tomorrow!"

In the preparation area, the expressions of everyone from Shrek Academy completely changed.

Yu Tianxuan clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His gaze was fixed on Lu Jun on the arena, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"……interesting."

"He must be the rising star and core disciple of the Sun Moon Royal Family, right?"

"Lu Jun, the Ice Sword, ranked nineteenth on the list of genius teenagers and the owner of the ultimate ice attribute martial soul, is indeed not weak."

"Captain, you're ranked fourth on the list of genius teenagers, you can't be afraid of him, right?" a teammate said.

Yu Tianxuan's expression was serious:
"I have to say, extreme attributes are still quite troublesome. We're going to have an exhibition match with them tomorrow, it looks like things are going to get interesting."

"Don't forget what the academy taught us: having the best attributes means being invincible at the same level."

“But we are all Soul Masters, and we have four or five pieces of One-Word Battle Armor on us, so we don’t need to be afraid of him.”

"Cheer up, and we'll do everything we can to beat them tomorrow."

Meanwhile, on the competition stage, Lu Jun's teammates were equally shocked by the full-blown strength he displayed.

Zhao Tianyu's throat bobbed, his voice hoarse, as he looked at Lu Jun:
"Dude, that's amazing!"

He originally thought the battle would last at least a minute, and might even require them to go all out to win.

But Lu Jun ended the battle with just two soul skills.

Moreover, they didn't move an inch throughout the entire process.

Su Yu stared blankly at the seven frozen figures opposite her, muttering, "This... this is your strength?"

Xu Ming pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses flickering uncertainly:

"No wonder you've been silent... you didn't want to discuss tactics with us."

Lu Jun didn't answer them, but silently looked at the stunned referee:
"If you don't declare victory or defeat soon, they're really going to freeze to death."

The referee, as if waking from a dream, said in a trembling voice:
"The match is over! Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy... wins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jun raised his hand and released the other party from the freeze. The Soul Master team, which was in charge of medical treatment, immediately rushed onto the stage and rescued the Tianhai Alliance members.

Although the frozen soul masters were not in mortal danger, they were pale and trembling, and obviously could not recover their fighting power in a short time.

Lu Jun withdrew his martial spirit, his expression remaining calm.

"Let's go."

He turned and walked off the stage.

It was as if he were the team leader.

Zhao Tianyu and the others quickly followed, and at this moment, the way they looked at Lu Jun was completely different.

That's a kind of awe for the strong!

With the departure of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, both the audience at the venue and the online live stream caused an uproar, sparking a huge amount of discussion.

"It's him! Ice Sword Lu Jun, someone on the list of genius teenagers, with the ultimate ice attribute, no wonder he swept the entire field so easily."

Viewers who had initially given up hope for the Sun Moon Royal Academy have now changed their minds.

The title of the top academy on the mainland may really be about to change hands.

……

After the first day's exhibition matches, the organizers of the Tianhai Alliance specially arranged a special interview, inviting the teams from Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to the interview area respectively.

The reporters were already impatient, and their cameras were pointed at the key figures of the two teams, Yu Tianxuan and Lu Jun.

The reporter excitedly pointed the camera at Shrek:
"Captain Yu, the performance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy just now was astonishing. They ended the battle in just seventeen seconds, which was even faster than your team's victory over the Tianhai champion team. What are your thoughts on this?"

Yu Tianxuan's expression was cold and his gaze was steady, but a sharp glint flashed deep in his eyes.

"The outcome will be decided tomorrow. Besides, defeating a team faster than us is nothing to brag about."

“We defeated the champion team of the Tianhai Alliance, while they only defeated the runner-up. The difference in strength between the teams is inherent.”

He paused, a hint of arrogance in his voice:
"If they can last five minutes against us tomorrow, then they'll be a real opponent." Upon hearing this, the reporter immediately turned the microphone and camera towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Mr. Lu, your performance just now was truly amazing, but Captain Yu doesn't seem to think your victory was more valuable than theirs. Do you have anything to say in response?"

In front of the camera, Lu Jun remained expressionless with indifferent eyes, as if he didn't care about anything at all.

He paused for two seconds, then spoke softly:
"Oh."

The entire audience was stunned.

They were clearly unaccustomed to this man's aloofness, taciturnity, and sparing use of words.

Undeterred, the reporter pressed on with further questions:
"Um...so what are your expectations for tomorrow's exhibition match?"

Lu Jun raised his eyes, his gaze passing over the crowd and looking directly at Yu Tianxuan not far away, a very faint smile curving his lips.

"I hope they can hold out for even a minute longer than I can."

Such outrageous remarks caused an uproar among the audience!

"One, one minute?! You mean you're confident you can defeat Shrek Academy in one minute?"

"Ah."

Lu Jun gave a brief reply, then ended the interview, turned and left, leaving behind a cacophony of discussion.

This instantly darkened the expressions of everyone at Shrek Academy.

Yu Tianxuan's eyes turned completely cold, and his fists clenched slightly.

"Very well." He sneered. "Tomorrow, I will let him know the price of arrogance."

Even Ye Xinglan frowned.

"One minute? Where does that confidence come from?"

It seems that tomorrow's exhibition match is destined to be a fierce battle.

Perhaps because of Lu Jun's words just now, the interview footage caused an instant uproar and a public outcry as soon as it was broadcast!
Hot posts on the Soul Master forum:

[Latest News]: Lu Jun boasts that he can defeat Shrek Academy in one minute! Is it just empty talk or does he really have the strength?

[Trending Search]: Shrek vs. Sun & Moon Royal! Tomorrow's exhibition match becomes a do-or-die battle?

Netizens are having a heated discussion:
"Lu Jun is too arrogant! He hopes they can last even a minute? Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent!"

"But he does have the right to be arrogant... crushing the runner-up of Tianhai in seventeen seconds, that's absolutely terrifying strength. Don't forget he's only a third-ring cultivator, yet he has the ability to instantly kill a Soul Master."

"I absolutely have to watch tomorrow's exhibition match live! If it really ends in a minute, where will Shrek Academy put their faces?"

Public opinion was completely ignited!
Before the dust had settled from the interviews, the two teams parted ways.

The Shrek Academy students had stern expressions. Yu Tianxuan walked at the front with steady steps, but the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.

The atmosphere at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, however, was completely different.

Zhao Tianyu and the others followed behind Lu Jun, their eyes filled with a mixture of awe and excitement.

In the interview just now, Lu Jun's statement, "I hope they can hold on for one minute," was absolutely outrageous.

But strangely enough, they now have a nagging feeling that he might actually be able to do it!

On the way back to the hotel, Su Yu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lu Jun, were you serious about the one minute you just mentioned?"

Lu Jun did not answer, but simply gave a faint "hmm".

Xu Ming pushed up his glasses, his eyes flashing behind the lenses: "Shrek is not an opponent of the same level as the Tianhai Alliance. Their teamwork and the strength of their martial souls... are no worse than ours."

"If a real fight breaks out, we don't have much of a chance of winning, but with you here, we are very confident."

The group exchanged glances and said nothing more.

Since he dared to say it, it means he was absolutely certain!

This made Zhao Tianyu and Xu Ming start to admire Lu Jun.

If only they had that kind of strength.

With great confidence, everyone returned to their respective hotel rooms. As soon as Lu Jun closed the door, his soul communication device suddenly rang.

"drop--"

Leng Yulai's icy voice came through the communicator, devoid of any emotion:
"Lu Jun, the academy has registered you for the individual competition and the three-person team competition."

Lu Jun frowned slightly:

"I didn't say I wanted to participate."

"This is the arrangement between the Spirit Pagoda and the academy." Leng Yulai's voice was unquestionable. "Also, this is a training mission. We have already discussed it with the organizers. It will not take up their top eight spots. But you only need to defeat their top three. Just treat it as your personal exhibition match to show the strength of our Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Royal Family."

Lu Jun fell silent immediately.

Leng Yulai continued, "It's finished. As a reward, you'll receive a ten-thousand-year-old ice-attribute soul bone. It's of the highest quality, even better than a one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone."

"...?"

Is a ten-thousand-year soul bone better than a one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone?
What kind of quality soul bone would that be?
