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

Chapter 81 The Turmoil Caused by the Ascension Platform
The ice golems were incredibly fast. They charged into the crowd, their sharp ice claws easily tearing through the soul masters' protective soul power, their icy breath instantly freezing people into ice sculptures, and their heavy ice hooves trampling over them, turning the fragile ice sculptures into a shower of ice dust that dissipated.

Soul skills?

When the ice golems were hit, only a few ice shards shattered. The dark blue ice flowers inside their bodies bloomed again, and the damaged parts quickly recovered as the cold air surged.

Unless they are completely pulverized into ice shards, they are immortal and indestructible killing machines.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided, highly efficient massacre.

Screams, the sounds of soul skills exploding, and the shattering of ice crystals rose and fell, but soon fell silent.

The ice puppet army was like the most precise shredder. Wherever it passed, the figures of the soul masters were erased as if by an eraser, turning into streaks of white light representing death, which shot into the sky one after another.

That's a sign that someone has died on the Ascension Platform and automatically exited.

In just a short while, the Soul Master Alliance, which had been filled with righteous indignation and numbered in number, was completely wiped out.

In the core area of ​​the primary spirit ascension platform, apart from the silent, chilling ice puppet legion, only Lu Jun remained, standing aloof in the center of the ice field, with the Ice Abyss Sword stuck in front of him, as if he were the king of this desolate ice domain.

He didn't even move a step.

……

The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, inside the main hall.

The piercing alarm and the intense white light went off almost simultaneously!
One after another, the metal hatches sprang open.

"Pfft, cough cough cough..."

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

"My ticket, my spiritual power, and my thousand-year-old soul are all gone!"

"Damn it, what the hell is that?!"

The Soul Masters who had just been forcibly withdrawn from the Ascension Platform tumbled out of the cabin like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Each of them was deathly pale, covered in cold sweat, coughing and panting violently, with lingering extreme fear and bewilderment in their eyes.

Some people were so traumatized that they collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up.

After a brief silence came a volcanic eruption of rage.

"Give me my money back!!!" A Soul Master suddenly jumped up, his eyes bloodshot, waving his fists and roaring, "What the hell is going on with your Spirit Transmission Tower?! What kind of monster has infiltrated the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform?!"

"Yes! Refund! Compensation!" someone immediately echoed hoarsely, "That ice... that damn ice domain, and those ice-made ghost beasts, is this what a beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform should have?! Are they treating us like Tang Sect members?"

"We paid to come here to hone and elevate our souls, not to be targets or nourishment for that ice-wielding monster!"

"Where are the surveillance cameras?! Are they just for show?! This level of destruction, and you didn't stop him? You just stood by and watched him clear out the entire Spirit Ascension Platform?"

"And my soul didn't absorb a single drop of spiritual energy! I wasted my ticket money! The Spirit Pagoda demands an explanation!"

The hall instantly transformed into a sea of ​​rage, the roar nearly lifting the roof off.

The staff members were sweating profusely as they tried to calm the crowd and explain, but they were pushed and shoved by the enraged Soul Masters, and the scene was chaotic.

"What's all the noise about?" A clear and penetrating female voice rang out, instantly drowning out all the noise.

An invisible, gentle, and vast pressure quietly enveloped the entire hall. Everyone felt a tightness in their chest, as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats, and the noise abruptly ceased.

The crowd automatically parted to make way for each other.

A woman dressed in an elegant cheongsam, with stunning beauty and a graceful and noble demeanor, walked slowly towards them.

Her eyes were calm, yet they carried an imposing presence that made people afraid to look directly at her.

This commotion directly alarmed Leng Yaozhu, who was still working at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

"Deputy Tower Master!" The staff member, as if granted a pardon, rushed forward, a wry smile and helplessness on his face, and quickly reported the situation in a low voice.

Leng Yaozhu listened quietly, and when she heard the keywords "ice attribute domain", "freeze", "ice puppet" and "clear the field", the expression on her beautiful face became extremely interesting.

First, his brows furrowed slightly, showing a hint of surprise. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, revealing a knowing look of "It was him again, just as I expected."

Immediately afterwards, a trace of helplessness flashed quickly across the depths of his eyes, and... a trace of almost imperceptible pride mixed with a wry smile.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions of "my naughty child has caused trouble again," and regained the dignified demeanor befitting a deputy tower master.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze swept over the still-shaken and furious Soul Masters, her clear voice reaching everyone's ears:

"Please calm down, everyone. The responsibility for this unexpected incident at the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform lies with our Spirit Transfer Tower for its inadequate supervision. The Spirit Transfer Tower sincerely apologizes for the losses and fright you have suffered."

She paused and continued:

"For all Soul Masters who entered the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform today and were affected, the Spirit Pagoda will fully refund the ticket price and provide each person with an additional free entry to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, which can be used during the next riot period."

"In addition," her gaze carried a calming power, "all Soul Masters who have suffered mental trauma in this incident can go to the medical center inside the tower to receive a free calming potion, as well as some additional pills, such as the Profound Water Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill, which are rare pills."

The generous compensation package immediately eased the angry atmosphere in the hall.

A full refund plus one free opportunity is far beyond my expectations.

Not to mention they also gave out some pills. You have to understand that the victims were all Soul Masters to Soul Venerables, which were of great use to them.

"As for the source of this incident..." Leng Yaozhu's voice rose slightly, "it was my personal disciple, Lu Jun, who was training inside. The Spirit Pagoda feels deeply sorry for causing such a serious impact on our guests."

The crowd erupted in cheers as soon as he finished speaking.

"Mr. Lu?"

"That champion of the Tianhai Alliance Tournament? The Ice Sword Lu Jun from the Genius Youth Ranking?"

"Or His Majesty's personal disciple?"

The name, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, created different ripples among the crowd.

Those Soul Masters who were originally furious froze instantly when they heard the combined identities of "Leng Yaozhu's personal disciple" and "Lu Jun," their expressions quickly turning to shock, realization, and then... an extremely complex one.

The anger in some people's eyes quickly subsided, replaced by a sense of relief that "so it was him" and "losing to such a monster doesn't seem so shameful," and even a faint feeling of "shame on them."

After all, he was "cleared out" by His Majesty's personal disciple, a legendary genius. If word got out, that experience...it would seem rather special, wouldn't it?
