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

Chapter 72 A Soul Bone Nearly 100,000 Years Old
The journey back to Mingdu ended peacefully.

Fortunately, the hidden passive ability was not triggered.

When using any mode of transportation, any unexpected event is bound to occur, resulting in damage to the vehicle.

Lu Jun slowly exhaled, and his whole body relaxed.

As the Soul Guidance Train slowly pulled into the exclusive Soul Guidance Platform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the platform was already bustling with people and the atmosphere was lively.

Almost the entire leadership of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy came out, with the dean personally leading the team, including the vice deans, department heads, and numerous instructors. Their faces were filled with undisguised excitement and pride as they awaited the return of their heroes.

"Welcome back triumphantly."

The dean, grinning from ear to ear, led the way with a loud shout.

"Welcome back heroes!"

"Good job!"

"Long live the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

A wave of enthusiastic applause and cheers swept over Lu Jun, Gu Yuena, and the others who had just gotten off the bus.

Countless flowers and ribbons were thrown into the air, and the atmosphere reached its peak.

"Good, good, good!" The dean strode forward, patted the teacher in charge on the shoulder, and then looked intently at Lu Jun and the others, especially Lu Jun standing at the front, whose eyes were full of undisguised admiration. "Your performance in the Tianhai Alliance Competition this time was simply earth-shattering! You have shown the might of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

He looked around at everyone, his voice blazing: "Not only did we win the championship, but we also, under the spotlight, with undeniable strength, rightfully and squarely crushed that arrogant Shrek Academy!"

"You've utterly disgraced and humiliated that so-called number one academy on the continent! This achievement is worthy of being recorded in the academy's history! The academy has given you the highest praise for your performance this time!"

The dean's words reignited the atmosphere, and the cheers grew even louder.

"In recognition of your outstanding achievements, the academy has decided to bestow upon you the most generous reward." With a wave of his hand, the dean immediately sent staff members forward carrying exquisite jade boxes.

The rewards are indeed incredibly generous.

Top-grade cultivation pills, rare battle armor materials, and even cultivation qualification tokens to enter the academy's core secret realm... each of these items made the onlookers extremely envious.

When it was Lu Jun's turn, the dean's smile became even brighter, even carrying a hint of mystery.

Instead of immediately handing over the jade box, he carefully took out a package from his wide sleeves. The package was wrapped with special dark silver metal threads and emitted a faint chill.

The moment the package appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop a few degrees.

"Lu Jun." The dean's voice was lowered, carrying a solemn tone and an indescribable emotion, "Your performance was nothing short of amazing. The academy's higher-ups have placed unprecedented hopes on you, hoping it will help you go further on the path to becoming a strong person."

The dean solemnly handed the chilling package to Lu Jun. It felt icy cold to the touch and was quite heavy; even through the package, one could feel the immense and domineering ice-attribute energy contained within.

Lu Jun's heart stirred slightly, and he took the package:
"Thank you, Dean."

"Work hard, kid, the future is yours." The dean patted Lu Jun's shoulder forcefully.

After the lively welcoming ceremony, Lu Jun returned to his college dormitory.

He closed the door, shutting out the noise from the outside world, and eagerly sat down at the table, carefully opening the mysterious package.

The metal wires were unraveled layer by layer, revealing an object encased in ice crystals. As the ice crystals slowly melted and dissipated under the influence of soul power, the contents were fully revealed before Lu Jun's eyes. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but gasp.

Another top-grade ice-attribute soul bone.

It's still on the right hand.

A piece of bone, its entire surface a deep, icy blue, like a soul bone sculpted from millennia-old ice.

The shape of the soul bone was a ferocious and powerful dragon claw. It was only the size of a palm, but it exuded an ancient, domineering, and extremely cold aura that made people's hearts tremble.

The surface of the bones was covered with fine, mysterious patterns that resembled natural runes, and inside, it seemed as if an icy blue liquid was slowly flowing, containing unimaginable, boundless energy.

Simply placing it on the table caused a thick layer of frost to quickly cover the surface, and the room temperature plummeted below freezing.

A look of surprise flashed in Lu Jun's eyes, and judging from its shape and the aura it exuded, it was definitely a top-tier ice-attribute soul bone.

The age of the bone is probably far greater than that of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone that he absorbed before.

A flash of emerald light appeared, and Hyotei's petite figure appeared beside Lu Jun.

Her emerald green eyes were fixed on the ice-blue dragon claw soul bone on the table, her small face filled with disbelief.

"This...this is impossible!" Hyotei's voice trembled slightly. "This...this is the right claw bone of an ancient dragon, a true dragon-level creature?"

"Wow, it's actually a true dragon-level soul bone! You've hit the jackpot!"

Hyotei continued:
"The dragon race has long been extinct, let alone such a pure ice dragon soul bone. It is almost impossible for their remains to have survived to this day, let alone to form such a complete soul bone with such pure energy!"

She circled the soul bone, carefully sensing the ancient and pure aura of the ice dragon, her doubts deepening: "Where did you humans get this? It's a miracle! No, it's even more incredible than a miracle. The quality of this soul bone... is already close to 100,000 years old, and it's so well preserved. The dragon soul's will within it seems to have been completely purified and erased by some kind of power, leaving only the purest ice dragon's primordial power!"

"Such a fine soul bone definitely has the potential to evolve into a 100,000-year soul bone."

Ice Emperor looked at Lu Jun with a complicated expression: "Your luck is truly... heaven-defying! The rarity and preciousness of this Ice Dragon right claw bone is absolutely no less than that of the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone you absorbed before, and it may even be superior in terms of pure power. It contains the true ice essence belonging to the dragon race!"

"You know, this is an ice dragon of true dragon level."

Hearing such high praise from Hyotei, Lu Jun's heart couldn't help but pound.

This award from the college seems fantastic.

The Ice Dragon Soul Spirit, combined with the Ice Dragon Soul Bone, is indeed a very suitable match.

Not to mention that this soul bone is at least 90,000 years old.

Lu Jun's previous fatigue vanished instantly:

"Since it's a valuable gift specially awarded to me by the academy's higher-ups, I might as well absorb it. It will complement my Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone and Ice Dragon Soul Spirit."

“Alright, with me here, absorbing it shouldn’t be difficult.” Ice Emperor also cheered. “Although the Ice Dragon’s essence is strong, it has been purified and perfectly matches your ultimate ice martial soul attribute. I will help you guide the fusion.”

Without further hesitation, Lu Jun immediately sat down cross-legged and adjusted his state.

He slowly attached the ice dragon's right claw bone, which exuded an ancient, icy aura, to his right hand.
