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

Chapter 8, Volume 1!

"Don't worry, she's easy to get along with. As long as you can help us become gods and gain eternal life, she will definitely be willing to become your spirit."

Hyotei looked excited.

Lu Jun nodded:

"I'm going to start my cultivation."

"Then, I will not disturb you any longer."

Just as Hyotei was about to enter Lu Jun's body, Lu Jun called out to him.

"Hyotei, I have too many missing memories and have forgotten many things. Can you do me a favor?"

Hyotei stopped moving:

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Lu Jun's heart began to beat faster.

His actions were somewhat risky, as Hyotei might suspect that he was an imposter.

But now he desperately wants to become stronger quickly.

With the use of ultimate ice, I am definitely not as good as Hyotei.

Leng Yaozhu doesn't possess the attribute of ultimate ice, so she can't teach herself much in this regard.

Right now there's a ready-made expert in using extreme ice. Wouldn't it be better if I could have her teach me?
But will this shatter the image of Hyotei as a powerful figure?
So Lu Jun racked his brains and reluctantly made up a story:

"Once, I did not possess the power of extreme ice. After falling to the far north, I absorbed the power belonging to the far north and gained the attribute of extreme ice."

"But because I have lost too much of my memory, I have forgotten how to use this power."

As he spoke, Lu Jun looked up at Hyotei with a slightly trembling voice.

"Can you help me?"

To be honest, this wasn't the first time Lu Jun had lied to someone.

But even he couldn't fool such a powerful person.

Therefore, nervousness is inevitable.

But to everyone's surprise, Hyotei responded with a hearty and generous expression:
"Of course! It would be a blessing for me to have the opportunity to guide you."

What?
Lu Jun was completely dumbfounded.

He really couldn't understand the feelings of the soul beast.

You actually believed such a lame story?

"I happen to be skilled in extreme ice. If you don't mind, I can teach you how to use it right now."

Hyotei stood up and looked at the rather large area.

"However, the process of truly mastering the ultimate ice is very slow. Is that acceptable to you?"

"It's alright, as long as you can master it."

Of course, Lu Jun wouldn't refuse.

Only a fool wouldn't accept it!
So, that very evening, Lu Jun gained another teacher.

Hyotei continued to teach Riku-kun until midnight.

Lu Jun glanced at the time subconsciously, then suddenly stood up:
"It's getting late, she'll be back soon, let's call it a day."

"Alright." Hyotei didn't say anything more. "You mean, is that human who was with you today coming back soon? She's very powerful. Do you live with her?"

"Yes, so if we're not careful, you could be at risk of being exposed."

Lu Jun said in a deep voice.

"Considering that you weren't discovered by her before, you should return to my body before she comes back."

“This is exactly what I wanted, Your Excellency.” Hyotei said, then entered Lu Jun’s body. “See you tomorrow.”

"See you tomorrow."

Noticing that Hyotei had fallen asleep again, Riku went to the kitchen and glanced at the refrigerator to see what ingredients were in it. ...

The moment Leng Yaozhu pushed open the door, a rich aroma of food wafted towards her, causing her to pause slightly. Her gaze fell upon the dining table in the hall, where a steaming table of food was laid out.

Lu Jun, who was sitting at the dining table, looked up after hearing the door open and nodded slightly to her.
"You're back? The food is freshly cooked, eat it while it's hot."

Leng Yaozhu stood there, her fingertips unconsciously tightening around the doorknob.

Over the years, she has become accustomed to living alone. As a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, she is constantly on the go between various missions and meetings, and rarely has the opportunity to sit down and have a hot meal.

Not to mention, there will be someone at home waiting for her to come back.

Since bringing the child back, every night, no matter how late, he prepares a hot meal for himself and waits for her to come home.

It gave Leng Yaozhu a feeling that this was home.

"Thanks a lot."

Leng Yaozhu rubbed Lu Jun's head.

“It’s no trouble at all. You’re already busy enough. Let me help you with the rest of the chores. I feel really bad about staying at your place all this time. Consider it rent.” Lu Jun said.

"...Sometimes I really think you're frighteningly mature."

Leng Yaozhu chuckled softly, said nothing more, and sat down to eat with Lu Jun.

Actually, the Spirit Pagoda headquarters also has dormitories, and living in the dormitories is indeed more convenient.

However, Qian Gu Dongfeng continued to pursue her and had not completely given up. In order to avoid suspicion, Leng Yaozhu chose not to live in the dormitory of the Spirit Pagoda.

Wouldn't it be better to find a better environment and buy a villa?

"By the way, Sister Leng, can I learn the Soul Contract?"

Lu Jun remembered Hyotei's request and then asked.

The matter of Hyotei must be kept strictly confidential and absolutely cannot be exposed to the Spirit Pagoda.

Otherwise, just the fact that the Ice Emperor is a ferocious beast that has existed for 400,000 years would attract countless people to compete for it if it were to become a spirit.

If he can control the soul contract himself, then he will have the experience to make Hyotei his soul.

"You're interested in this?" Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow. "You're just starting out, there's so much to learn, do you want to add a soul contract to your resume?"

"I think joining the Spirit Pagoda and becoming more proficient in mastering the Soul Contract will be beneficial for future fusion with Soul Spirits," Lu Jun said with a chuckle, scratching his head.

Try to portray the innocence and naivety of a child as much as possible.

"Well, since you're interested in this too, I'll arrange a course and include the Soul Contract in it."

Leng Yaozhu didn't suspect anything and continued:
"However, you'll be quite busy starting tomorrow. In the morning, you'll learn meditation techniques from me, and in the afternoon, you'll have practical combat lessons. Since your martial spirit is still sword-type, you'll need to learn the basics of swordsmanship from a master swordsman. This will help you master your martial spirit more quickly."

"Tonight, you'll experience the second profession of a Battle Armor Master to see which aspect you're more talented in. Then you'll have a second profession course, and after that, you'll meditate to spend the night."

Leng Yaozhu elegantly put the food into her mouth and quietly added:

You'd better think this through carefully.

Lu Jun looked embarrassed. Was he really that busy?
Don't you even have time to rest all day?

Forget it.

Being busy is good, after all, we have to win at the starting line!

In this world, strength is the most important thing.

It's not that I'm afraid of people with talent, it's that I'm afraid of people with talent who are richer and have more resources than me, and most importantly, who are more hardworking and ambitious than me.

With this awareness, Lu Jun stood tall and proud:

"It's alright, please treat me however you like!"

In order to become stronger, Lu Jun went all out.

I'm going to secretly open the book and amaze everyone!

"It's good to be motivated." Leng Yaozhu smiled and, after finishing her meal and tidying up, began to guide Lu Jun in practicing meditation techniques.
