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

Chapter 57 Stealing Di Tian's Steamed Buns

Medical room.

Cai Yue'er watched as the medical team painstakingly moved the entire Shrek team, who were all frozen into ice sculptures, to this place, her face grim.

"I apologize, Your Majesty Silver Moon."

The medical staff looked at Cai Yue'er with some difficulty.

"We can't thaw them. This extreme ice is too domineering. Even our fire-attribute soul masters can't break it. Instead, their soul power is absorbed, which strengthens the ice crystals on their bodies."

"If this drags on any longer, these children's lives may be in danger."

"Let me do it myself."

Cai Yue'er nodded and slowly walked to the bedside, her aged fingers gently stroking the thick layer of ice on Yu Tianxuan's body.

“Ultimate Ice…” she murmured, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes, “A mere Soul Venerable can actually unleash such domineering cold energy.”

No wonder historical records state that any Soul Master who possesses the ultimate attribute is invincible among their peers.

Cai Yue'er slowly raised her hand, and her Title Douluo-level soul power instantly erupted, landing on Yu Tianxuan and the others.

"laugh."

White mist began to rise from the surface of the ice, but the melting rate was unusually slow.

Cai Yue'er's brows furrowed more and more; the stubbornness of this extreme ice far exceeded her expectations!

Even a super Douluo like her found it somewhat difficult to resolve.

Of course, it would be easy to forcefully break through, but then her students would also be out of luck.

Therefore, Cai Yue'er can only take it slowly.

“Click, click.”

A moment later, the ice shattered completely, and Yu Tianxuan and the others were freed, but their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.

"Cough cough cough."

As soon as Yu Tianxuan thawed, he began to tremble violently, his teeth chattering uncontrollably, and his breath was icy cold.

"Ah! Ahh!"

He sneezed several times, his nose turned bright red, and his face was as pale as paper.

The other team members were in no better shape; they were all shivering with their arms wrapped around themselves, their lips were turning purple, and they could barely speak.

Yu Tianxuan lowered his head, panting heavily, the image of that sword strike flashing through his mind.

A massive cold wave swept in, and his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was like child's play in front of the extreme ice. It didn't even have a chance to struggle before it was completely frozen.

That feeling of powerlessness made him clench his fists tightly.

Not only him, but everyone else fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone had their heads down, their fists clenched so tightly they turned white.

They were frozen solid by a single sword strike from one person.

And this happened in their proudest team battle.

Seeing her disciples' dejected appearance, Cai Yue'er's anger intensified:

"They've been defeated so easily?"

"Is Shrek's glory really that worthless?!"

“Elder Cai,” Yu Tianxuan was the first to step forward, his voice hoarse, “I’m sorry, we’ve disgraced Shrek Academy.”

Cai Yue'er said coldly, "Yu Tianxuan, as a disciple reserved for the inner academy, your cultivation is a whole realm higher than his, yet you have performed so poorly!"

"At the beginning, you were so arrogant that you didn't even use your battle armor and fourth soul skill immediately."

"It seems your achievements over the years have made you so arrogant. What is your punishment?"

Yu Tianxuan gritted his teeth, then suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot:
"Mr. Cai, please give me another chance."

"I want to participate in the individual competition and fight Lu Jun again."

"This time, I will not lose!"

Cai Yue'er stared at him for a moment, then slowly nodded:

"Okay, I'll help you register."

"However, there won't be a next chance. If you lose again, you'll probably lose your spot in the inner academy."

After saying that, Cai Yue'er turned and left.

"Recover as soon as possible, and I will have someone send you recovery pills."

After Cai Yue'er left, Yu Tianxuan slammed his fist on the ground, blood seeping from his knuckles. "Old Cai is right, I was too careless and arrogant."

"When facing a Soul Master with the ultimate attributes, you must go all out from the very beginning."

"If I use my battle armor and fourth soul skill, Lu Jun's sword strike would take at least thirty seconds to charge up, which would be impossible to execute under normal circumstances."

Yu Tianxuan turned to look at his teammates.

"You all get some rest. I'll get back in shape as soon as possible and reclaim our lost glory!"

……

Lu Jun sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, his soul power was almost exhausted.

Hyotei stood to the side, rarely showing such approval.

"That sword strike was incredibly powerful, but it also consumed far more energy than it could have."

With a light tap of her fingertips, a wisp of extremely cold soul power flowed into Lu Jun's body, helping him stabilize his breathing.

"However, breaking through and comprehending sword intent during battle is not a loss."

At this point, Hyotei involuntarily shivered.

Lu Jun's ultimate ice was more domineering than any ice attribute she had ever seen.

It is even closer to absolute zero than her and Xue Di's ultimate ice.

The problem now is that his martial soul quality and ultimate ice are too high, and Lu Jun simply cannot fully master them at this stage.

According to Bingdi's assessment, Lu Jun would need to reach at least the Soul Saint level to fully control and use it at will.

As Bingdi watched Lu Jun's breathing gradually stabilize, a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "Your sword intent has just been formed, and your spiritual power has increased dramatically. It's an unexpected bonus. Every cloud has a silver lining."

Once he confirmed that Lu Jun was alright for the time being, Hyotei returned to his lazy demeanor, skillfully picked up Lu Jun's communicator, and went to watch videos.

She's completely become a homebody.

Just then, a knocking sound broke the silence of the room.

Lu Jun's brows twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear despite his weariness.

He supported his still somewhat weak body, got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

The light in the corridor outlined a stunningly beautiful figure.

Gu Yuena stood there quietly, her silver hair cascading down her back, her deep purple eyes, her aloof demeanor seemingly able to shut out all the noise around her.

However, in stark contrast to her aloofness was the large pile of things she was holding in her arms: jade boxes, porcelain bottles, and brocade pouches, almost burying her delicate chin. The rich aroma of medicine and the pure energy fluctuations wafted over, clearly indicating that they were valuable elixirs and rare treasures.

"Here you go." Gu Yuena's voice was calm and even. "Strengthen your foundation, restore your soul power, and get some rest."

Without saying a word, she shoved everything she was holding into Lu Jun's arms.

Lu Jun quickly caught it, and the heavy weight made his arm sag.

"This...this is too much, isn't it?"

"Half of them were given to you by my aunt, and the other half came from my home." After handing everything to Lu Jun, Gu Yuena raised her hand and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"They're all good stuff, including whale glue, and... this."

As she spoke, Gu Yuena pointed to the large black steamed bun among them.

Lu Junyi immediately recognized that among this pile of rare and precious materials and pills, the most valuable and precious item was this seemingly plain black steamed bun.

It looks like a black steamed bun, but it's actually a type of meat.

It comes from a very special type of fish in the deep sea. It is not a spirit beast and lives in the deep sea at a depth of more than 3,000 meters.

It withstands immense water pressure, which is why it develops extremely high nutritional value, making it highly valuable and practically priceless.

No matter how many Federal Credits you have, it's practically impossible to buy this ingredient; it's essentially monopolized by the top powers.

Because these black steamed buns have such exaggerated effects, even the biggest appetite can eat as much as a dozen people in one bite.

Furthermore, it can enhance one's blood and qi, strengthen one's physique, and accelerate the circulation and cultivation of soul power within the body, making it a comprehensive and nourishing supplement for soul masters.

It can be said that this small steamed bun symbolizes the power and status of the wealthy and powerful, and represents one of the most valuable resources on the entire continent.

Even for Leng Yaozhu, the amount allocated each month is only in the single digits.

"Where did you find something so precious? Give it back to me!" Lu Jun's eyes widened.

Gu Yuena looked around, then whispered:
"I brought it from home, so please accept it quickly."

Actually, it was secretly taken from Di Tian.
