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

Chapter 48's reward is the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone?!

On the other end of the communicator, Leng Yulai's tone unusually carried a hint of seduction:
"You should know that even the Spirit Pagoda doesn't have many soul bones of this level in stock."

Lu Jun hesitated for a moment, then said:

"May I ask what kind of soul beast possesses this ten-thousand-year-old ice-attribute soul bone? How can it compare to the effect of a one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone?"

"We didn't intend to hide it from you. To motivate you, the Spirit Pagoda is offering very generous rewards."

Leng Yulai chuckled softly, then continued:
"It is a soul bone used by the ancestor Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, ten thousand years ago."

"The Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone—the Spirit Pagoda happens to have one at the 50,000-year level, which is even rarer than a 100,000-year soul bone."

Lu Jun's eyes flickered slightly.

It was actually the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion?
If that's the case, it is indeed stronger than a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Because the soul bone skills produced by this soul bone are simply too overpowered.

Ice Blast!
It is still the ice-attribute soul bone that best suits his martial soul.

That's exactly what he needs right now.

With the Ice Blast spell, his combat power will increase significantly.

"It seems I have no reason to refuse." Upon hearing about the soul bone, Lu Jun felt a sudden itch to get his hands on it. "The Spirit Pagoda is truly amazing; it can even get its hands on a soul bone like this."

“Of course, the Spirit Pagoda’s foundation is far deeper than you imagine,” Leng Yulai said softly. “According to Huo Yuhao’s ancestor, only the owner of the ultimate ice martial soul can absorb this soul bone. There are very few people who meet the requirements, so it can only be kept in the store as a collectible.”

"Now that another person with the ultimate ice martial soul has appeared, we should naturally be generous."

Leng Yulai continued.

So, are you still opposed to it?

"I'm not opposed to it anymore. I'd love to have more of these kinds of good things." Lu Jun was overjoyed. "How about I make it to first place?"

Leng Yulai burst out laughing:

"Don't underestimate your opponent. Well, for now, unless there are special circumstances, a Soul Master is indeed no match for you. Also, the quality of Soul Masters in the Tianhai Alliance is really not good. They can't compare to those in Mingdu and Shrek City."

"It's good to be confident, but remember not to get too arrogant, understand?"

“I know, Auntie, you know I’m a low-key person and never arrogant,” Lu Jun said obediently.

"Since you're so low-key, you didn't seem low-key at all during the previous interview."

Leng Yulai made a joke.

Lu Jun honestly replied, "I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying."

"Haha, okay, okay, I'm really looking forward to your performance. Good luck!"

"Yes, Auntie."

After hanging up the communicator, Lu Jun heard a soft knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

The knocking was neither hurried nor slow, and Lu Jun raised an eyebrow slightly.

Who would come looking for him at this time?
He got up and opened the door, and a familiar figure came into view.

Gu Yuena.

She stood in the dim light of the corridor, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, her purple eyes calm as still water, revealing no emotion.

"What's the matter?" Lu Jun stepped aside to let her in.

Gu Yuena walked into the room, her gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Lu Jun: "Did you know that the academy has registered us for the individual and three-person team competitions?"

Lu Jun closed the door and nodded: "I just found out."

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes slightly: "Did your master inform you as well?"

"Yes." Lu Jun didn't hide anything, "They gave me a reward, which means I have to be in the top three."

Gu Yuena chuckled softly.

"As expected."

"The afternoon will feature the most popular seven-person team competition, as well as the three-person team competition and the individual competition."

"That means we still have to go to the competition today."

Lu Jun wore a long face:

"I knew I shouldn't have come back. I thought everything was over."

"Let's go, it might be our turn soon." Gu Yuena led him out the door.

……

The stands at the Tianjin Tianhai stadium were already packed.

Lu Jun and Gu Yuena walked side by side toward the contestants' passage, drawing respectful glances from the surrounding staff.

Lu Jun's 17-second crushing victory over Tianhai's runner-up has made him the most watched dark horse in this competition.

"So, who is the third person in the three-person team competition?" Lu Jun suddenly asked.

Gu Yuena didn't even turn her head:
"Guess." Lu Jun frowned, about to ask further, when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came from behind him.

"Brother Lu! Wait for me!"

Long Chen caught up, panting, with beads of sweat still on his forehead: "Why did you run so fast? I was looking for you at the hotel for ages."

Lu Jun understood:

"Oh it's you."

Long Chen scratched his head and chuckled, "Hehe, the academy said that I'm the same age as Brother Lu and Sister Gu Yue, and they wanted me to follow you guys and work hard in my cultivation, so they arranged for me to come here."

Just as the three finished registering, an announcement suddenly came on:

"Lu Jun, contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, please proceed to Arena Number Three immediately to prepare for the individual match."

"Repeat, please, contestant Lu Jun..."

"I'm the first one?"

Lu Jun raised an eyebrow.

Long Chen excitedly waved his fist:
"Go, Brother Lu! Show them what a crushing defeat looks like!"

The moment Lu Jun stepped onto the number three arena, the spotlights of the entire arena suddenly shone on him.

"Dear viewers! We are now broadcasting live the first round of the Tianhai Alliance Individual Tournament!"

The host's passionate voice resounded throughout the venue through the soul-guided loudspeaker.

"First to take the stage is Lu Jun, the legendary player who ended the match in seventeen seconds, from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

On the big screen, Lu Jun's cold and aloof face was magnified in close-up, and the audience erupted in cheers like a tsunami.

Meanwhile, inside a restaurant in Tianhai City.

Xu Lizhi had just swallowed the food in his mouth when he pointed with his chubby finger, trembling, at the live broadcast screen on the wall: "Isn't that...the people from the Sun Moon Royal Family? Why are they signing up for the individual competition?"

Tang Wulin, sitting opposite him, curiously leaned closer:

"Huh, I didn't expect the Sun Moon Royal team to have signed up for the competition. What about Shrek Academy?"

Tang Wulin had known Xu Lizhi before the exhibition match began.

They gave him some food and then exchanged contact numbers.

We arranged to have dinner together that evening.

I didn't expect there would be a game to watch while I was eating.

Tang Wulin usually eats very attentively, but he didn't want to miss this match.

After all, Tang Wulin had witnessed Lu Jun's strength firsthand during the day.

He wanted to learn more about the other person.

"I...I don't know either." Xu Lizhi scratched his head. "But if the captain and the others see that the people from Sun Moon Royal have signed up for the individual competition, they'll probably join in too."

"After all, we don't get along with the Sun Moon Royal Family."

"...The hatred between your two academies runs quite deep." Tang Wulin had just finished speaking when he realized the competition was about to begin.

On the arena, Lu Jun's opponent was a three-ring Soul Master from the Tianhai Alliance.

Needless to say, the result is obvious.

Everyone was silently mourning this unlucky Soul Master.

To run into a player who looks like he could win the championship in the first round is just too bad luck.

"Game start!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the Soul Master used his Soul Skill to immediately take off and try to create distance.

But before he could fully unleash his soul skill, the temperature of the entire arena plummeted.

A halo of ice-blue light instantly spread out from Lu Jun, freezing the air wherever it passed.

This Soul Master was also horrified to discover that his body had been covered with ice crystals without him even realizing it.

"What is this... ugh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was frozen solid and landed heavily on the arena.

End the battle.

The referee opened his mouth, then announced dryly, "The match is over! Lu Jun wins! Time: three seconds!"

"Okay, it's a complete stomp." Tang Wulin, watching the live stream, pursed his lips, then continued to lower his head and devour his food.

As he ate, he noticed a problem.

Wait a minute, he also signed up for the individual competition. What if we run into him...?

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and the food in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
