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

Chapter 55 Tang Wulin's Thoughts
As soon as Zhao Tianyu finished speaking, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy swarmed forward and surrounded Lu Jun.

"Brother Lu! You're amazing!" Long Chen exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly. "That's Shrek Academy! You froze them all into ice sculptures in just one minute!"

Su Yu blinked, her face full of admiration: "That's right, Brother Lu, that sword strike you just made was absolutely awesome!"

Lu Jun felt a little awkward. Why were these senior students calling him "brother"?
They are clearly of a higher generation.

"Let's stick to the same as before, forget about this title," Lu Jun said.

"Haha, we all respect strength, seniority and status don't matter. This only proves that your strength has earned the respect of all of us." Zhao Tianyu laughed.

Xu Ming pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses flashing with thought: "However, now we've truly made an enemy of Shrek Academy."

Lu Jun smiled faintly:
"It doesn't matter, let's just get married then."

"Anyway, I'm not trying to make friends with them."

"well said!"

"Speaking of which, Brother Lu, the power of that sword strike you just delivered was probably enough to take down even a Soul King. That's just too outrageous," Long Chen couldn't help but say. "Even cheating wouldn't be this strong."

"You're overthinking it." Lu Jun shook his head. "Leaving aside the fact that that move requires at least thirty seconds to charge up, in actual combat, the enemy won't give you that opportunity at all."

"Furthermore, for a Soul Master who is not a Battle Armor Master to want to defeat a Battle Armor Master is undoubtedly a pipe dream."

Lu Jun was not blinded by the power of that sword strike, even though it was the best self-created combat technique he had comprehended so far.

“That makes sense.” Long Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Jun looked up at the other side of the arena, where Shrek Academy members were being urgently thawed by medical personnel. Cai Yue'er stood to the side, her face terribly gloomy.

Gu Yuena followed his gaze, her purple eyes narrowing slightly:
"That old woman won't let this go."

"I know." Lu Jun looked away. "Let's go back first."

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze, which lingered on Lu Jun for a moment, before she transmitted her thoughts through mental power:

"Go back and get some rest. I'll bring you some recovery pills and rare herbs later."

Lu Jun froze.

He had clearly been seen through by Gu Yuena, and he was now forcing himself not to show any weakness.

That sword strike could be said to have exhausted all of his mental and spiritual power.

But with such power, it's already worth it.

"Let's go back and rest. Anyway, it's none of our business anymore." Zhao Tianyu's face showed a hint of excitement.

"If we outperform Shrek Academy in the live stream, the academy will probably reward us handsomely when we get back."

On their way back to the hotel, they saw Cai Yue'er, leaning on her cane, slowly walk up to them and block their path.

His aged face was ashen and somber.

“Lu Jun.” Cai Yue’er’s gaze fell on Lu Jun, her voice hoarse and carrying an unquestionable tone of command, “Immediately unfreeze my disciple.”

Everyone raised their eyebrows slightly.

Who are you?
Lu Jun stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent.
"Thawing is fine."

The others couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Jun.

So decisively?

"But you have to apologize to me first, right?"

Lu Jun raised his eyes and looked directly into Cai Yue'er's eyes.

"What?" Cai Yue'er was stunned, then laughed angrily, "You seriously injured our people, and you expect us to apologize to you? What kind of logic is that?"

Lu Jun said calmly, "At first, I really didn't intend to seriously injure Ye Xinglan. I also said that I would take full responsibility and admit my mistake."

"But you Shrek students don't understand human language at all."

"And they're still nagging me to pay the price. You know, this is Shrek Academy's disciple. To threaten me with a price is just too terrifying."

At this point, Lu Jun's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Therefore, I must do my utmost to repay you properly?"

Cai Yue'er's face turned completely gloomy, and the pressure of a Title Douluo was released uncontrollably, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

“Young man,” she said, enunciating each word clearly, “do you know who you are talking to?” Gu Yuena quietly stepped forward, standing beside Lu Jun, watching her warily.

The oppressive aura emanating from her made Lu Jun tremble slightly, but he was not afraid at all, and instead chuckled lightly:
"What, Shrek Academy can't stand losing now, so they're starting to use their seniority to intimidate others?"

"Are you going to choose to bully the young here because you're old? Don't forget, there are many eyes watching you."

"Fine, very well." Cai Yue'er laughed angrily before turning to leave. "I will remember what happened today."

Watching Cai Yue'er storm off in anger, Zhao Tianyu and the others finally dared to speak.

“Brother Lu…” Long Chen swallowed hard. “You’re too amazing. That looks like the legendary Silver Moon Douluo, one of the top figures in the Douluo Continent.”

“He’s not even a top-tier figure, just a Super Douluo, more like a second-rate one. He’s no match for my aunt at all.” Lu Jun shrugged. “Besides, the feud is already established, so one more word won’t make a difference.”

"Does she think she's just asking to be insulted, and I'm supposed to be polite and respectful to her? Who does she think she is?"

"Alright, let's go back. Now it should be completely peaceful."

Zhao Tianyu and the others silently gave Lu Jun a thumbs-up as he walked away.

This guy is awesome.

He faced off against Silver Moon Douluo head-on without any fear.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. With their background, why would they be afraid of a Silver Moon Douluo?
……

Tang Wulin sat in the audience, watching the Sun Moon Royal team leave, his little face filled with disbelief.

"Shrek isn't as strong as the legends say."

He murmured quietly.

A middle-aged Soul Master standing nearby couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing his words:
"Kid, Shrek, huh?"

Tang Wulin turned his head and saw the man pointing at the Shrek Academy team and talking eloquently:

“The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy are fundamentally different.”

"You want to get into Shrek Academy?" The middle-aged Soul Master shook his head. "Not only do you need outstanding talent, but you also need to be assessed on your character and moral cultivation."

"The requirements are extremely strict. Unless you're from a wealthy family or a top student from a commoner family, you simply can't get in."

He lowered his voice and continued:
"To put it bluntly, if you're not from a noble family, you simply can't get in. That's why we privately call Shrek Academy the 'Noble Academy'."

The middle-aged Soul Master spoke, his eyes revealing longing.

"But the Sun and Moon Royal Family is different."

"As long as you are a Soul Master, even if you only have one ring, they will accept you."

"Those with high talent will receive focused training, while those with average talent will also learn real skills."

He patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder.

"Do you know why so many commoner Soul Masters support the Sun Moon Royal Family?"

"Because over there, we are just ordinary people."

"That's when you can really see hope."

After saying that, the middle-aged man said with a proud look:
“Our family was very poor, but fortunately my child is very promising. He has achieved something at the Sun Moon Royal Academy and was able to work at the Spirit Pagoda after graduation, which improved our family’s situation.”

"As for Shrek Academy, my family doesn't even dare to think about it, because we simply don't have the resources to get in, and we can't give my child the opportunity to develop his talent."

"Think about it carefully. I'm just offering a suggestion."

The middle-aged man then left.

Tang Wulin listened intently, then couldn't help but turn to look at Wu Changkong, his eyes filled with confusion:

"Teacher, is that really true? Shrek Academy... does it really only accept children of noble families?"

Wu Changkong remained silent for a moment, his eyes slightly lowered, as if he was carefully considering his words.

"If you really want to get in, you can still do it if you put in the effort," he said slowly, his voice still cool. "It's just that there are limited spots, and students from academies in major cities will compete fiercely for them."

"After a while, only the most outstanding students will be able to get into Shrek Academy."

His tone was calm, yet it carried a subtle, almost imperceptible complexity.
