Douluo Dragon King: Nine-Colored Lotus, Incinerating All Things

But Lin Jin didn't think about it in detail.

He doesn't care.

Neither Muye nor Chen Xinjie tried to stop them.

The former was based on his confidence in Lin Jin, believing that the Star Luo Empire would definitely turn its back on him.

The latter watched the Star Luo Empire's clumsy performance as if it were a comedy.

Even if Lin Jin loses.

He didn't think the Star Luo Empire could manipulate public opinion in any way that would influence the Federation.

Public opinion only works on the weak.

Moreover, the age and soul power differences are undeniable.

Even if they do manage to create a lot of buzz, it's easy to break through.

in contrast.

He was more interested in seeing Lin Jin's strength after the second awakening of the Body Sect's secret technique, as well as the level of this prodigy from the Monster Academy.

"Fellow citizens of the Star Luo Empire..."

The host's voice rang out.

Lin Jin didn't listen to any of the long introductions or polite remarks.

He ignored the deliberately created topic, the age and soul power difference only revealed now, which turned the exchange match into a 'higher-to-lower' guidance match.

However, many audience members expressed their dissatisfaction.

"I skipped work to come here, and this is what you show me? Pay me my wages!"

"Come on, so what if it's a training match? That's Long Yue! We pay money but we never even see him play!"

"Yeah, and it's free. What are you barking about, you dog?"

"..."

There are many such cases.

However, the phrase "free" effectively suppressed the dissatisfaction of the vast majority of people.

Those who remained dissatisfied, seeing the warning look from a high-level Soul Master—a sight rarely seen on ordinary days—all kept quiet.

In the end, the complicated process took another half hour.

Subsequently, Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire arrived.

Chen Xinjie, a quasi-god level warrior, and Mu Ye, a four-word battle armor master.

Their identities compelled the emperor to attend in person.

In fact, all of this publicity campaign was orchestrated by him.

A speech was given.

This was a very grand expression of optimism, encouragement, and welcome for the outstanding younger generation of the Empire and the Federation to exchange ideas and learn from each other in this competition.

Extremely official, yet extremely useful.

And so it goes.

Several more minutes passed.

Just as Lin Jin was getting a little impatient.

Finally, the host spoke.

"Let me first welcome our Empire's No. 1 Academy, Monster Academy, and the number one prodigy of the younger generation, Dragon King Long Yue, to the stage!"

Chapter 77 A Ten Out of Ten Chance of Victory? The Smiling Douluo Hu Jie

Two and a half hours ago.

Lin Jin and the other two were taken to Xingluo Stadium by Enci and settled in to wait for the rest of the day.

Enci found Long Yue, who was in seclusion.

Or.

They are fighting against the uncontrollable "violent" emotions brought about by the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul due to its increased power.

The Mountain Dragon King bestowed upon him immense power, with a terrifyingly rapid increase in soul power.

However, it can also be a death sentence at any time.

"Your opponent this time is not weak."

Enci looked at Long Yue and calmly gave his assessment of Lin Jin.

"No matter what the opponent is."

“As long as their soul power is not higher than mine, I will crush them.”

Long Yue opened his bloodshot eyes, his tone resolute.

Grace remained silent for a moment.

"I believe in you."

"But control your emotions."

"I remember a saying: A monster who cannot control his emotions cannot be tolerated by the empire."

"No matter how powerful he is."

"Tongyu is a living example."

"Moreover, he has two four-word battle armor masters behind him, one of whom is a quasi-god."

Long Yue fell silent.

Qilin Douluo Tongyu.

He knows this person.

He awakened a canine martial soul, but only possessed innate level two soul power.

Due to certain events, he committed suicide by poisoning himself, which led to the second awakening of his martial soul, evolving into a Qilin.

He achieved a title at the age of twenty-four and became a super Douluo-level powerhouse at the age of thirty-two.

Unfortunately, it seems that his love turned to hate, and he was unable to control his emotions, cruelly killing the woman he loved but could not have.

They were eventually suppressed and imprisoned.

This happened many years ago, and he heard it from his master, Enci.

Now, if the opponent's cultivation has not stopped advancing, it may have already approached its limit, or it may already be at its limit.

Her talent is no less than his.

But the ending...

"call."

Long Yue took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again; the bloodshot in his eyes had disappeared.

"Teacher, I understand."

"I will control myself and try my best not to hurt him."

Grace nodded gently.

He could tell that Long Yue's words seemed to be somewhat dismissive of Lin Jin.

but……

You can't teach someone by teaching them.

If Lin Jin is really as powerful as Mu Ye said, then that's fine too, let Long Yue get a good bite.

Suffering some losses is also a form of self-cultivation.

As for losing...

Long Yue, who possesses the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul and is a two-word Battle Armor Master, might lose to a low-level four-ring Soul Master.

Makino and Chen Xinjie probably don't know.

What Lin Jin can do now is what Long Yue was able to do back then.

"Noumenon Sect?"

"You are the most skilled with the physical body."

"But compared to my disciple, who is truly stronger?"

……

Two and a half hours later.

Xingluo Stadium.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the masses.

Tall, muscular, and with a resolute face, Long Yue walked step by step toward the center of the stadium.

His gaze was steady yet imposing, his demeanor as imposing as a mountain range, as he quietly awaited his opponent.

"Dragon King! Dragon King! Dragon King!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the one-way glass windows in the lounge trembled.

Long Yue then pressed his hand down.

The scene immediately fell silent.

Long Yue smiled and spoke in a deep, steady voice.

"I am Long Yue."

"I will protect the glory of the empire."
