45Chapter 45: Exhibition Match Begins, Shrek Appears
Lu Jun looked at Tang Wulin's innocent smile.
"Hello, nice to meet you, goodbye."
After saying that, Lu Jun turned and left, leaving Tang Wulin with his hands raised in embarrassment.
Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie looked at each other and sighed at the same time:
"He's just as cool as the rumors say."
Tang Wulin also scratched his head:
"Was he being sarcastic or just talking to me normally? It made me feel a little awkward."
"Boss, I think he's just too lazy to talk more?" Xie Xie couldn't help but say.
"I think that's the case. After all, according to online rumors, he's just that aloof."
Xu Xiaoyan continued:
"Besides, they even said hello politely. Captain, how did you know they were being sarcastic towards you? You must be so mean-spirited that you imagine others are just as mean-spirited as you."
"Well, it seems I disturbed him." Tang Wulin touched his nose and stopped thinking about it. "It's my fault. I misunderstood him. I'll find a chance to apologize some other time."
Xu Xiaoyan smiled: "Hehe, Captain, you should be thicker-skinned. Why don't you ask for an autograph for me when the time comes?"
"Hey, why?"
"Because I'm really his fan." Xu Xiaoyan blinked, "Unlike you, Captain, who's trying to get close to others..."
Tang Wulin's eyes widened, his face showing a hurt expression:
"Xiaoyan, I didn't expect you to be such a person..."
"Why?" Xu Xiaoyan proudly shook the soul communicator. "I've been following him for a long time. Three years ago, when I was surfing the Internet, I saw news about the Spirit Pagoda and even saw his photo..."
"Wait!" Xie Xie suddenly interrupted, staring at Xu Xiaoyan suspiciously, "Three years ago? You were only about six years old then, right?"
Xu Xiaoyan's face flushed instantly: "What do you care!"
She hurriedly put away the communicator.
"Anyway, I just admire his strength!"
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exchanged a knowing look.
"Oh~" Xie Xie stretched out his tone, "So our little sister Xiaoyan likes this kind of aloof type~"
"Come to think of it, Xiaoyan often acts like a spoiled child to the teacher." Tang Wulin looked at Wu Zhangkong, "The teacher is similar to Lu Jun."
"It's no wonder I just happened to meet someone my age who's similar to my teacher..."
"Hey! Captain, stop talking nonsense, or I'll ignore you, the handsome one!"
"Hahaha."
Xu Xiaoyan began to change the subject:
"By the way, Captain, why do you suddenly want to greet him? Didn't you say you weren't interested in him before?"
Tang Wulin was stunned when asked this question, and he was completely stunned.
Yes, I was not interested in anything other than cultivation, forging and eating, so why did I suddenly want to say hello to him and make friends with him?
How strange.
It felt like someone was urging me to get closer to him.
This feeling made Tang Wulin feel very strange, and an indescribable discomfort filled his whole body.
It's as if the body is not your own.
Lu Jun, who also felt something unusual, was now quietly enjoying the buffet.
I thought I would fill my stomach quickly and go back.
He knew that Tang Wulin had a divine thought about Tang San in his body at this moment, and as everyone knew, Tang San was thinking about him again...
Although he didn't know whether this divine consciousness had lost its memory like in the original novel, Lu Jun didn't dare to bet on this possibility.
Because of his arrival, the butterfly effect has changed so many things.
Try to avoid Tang Wulin if you can.
Lu Jun sighed inwardly, and then he saw Long Chen, who was sitting opposite him, often looking back to see the commotion happening over there with Tang Wulin.
There is always some envy flashing in his eyes.
Lu Jun said:
"If you look at me any longer, I might sue you for harassment."
"...Brother Lu, please stop joking with me." Having been discovered, Long Chen immediately buried his head in his food. "I just thought they were being noisy."
"But the envy in your eyes can't be faked."
Lu Jun also buried his head in eating.
"Okay, okay, Brother Lu, I won't lie to you. I just had a sudden impulse and envied them for being able to live such a happy life as they are my peers."
Long Chen said with a guilty conscience.
"Unlike us, who basically devote 24 hours of their time to cultivation, socializing becomes secondary."
"Not to mention that all the focus of my family is on me." Having said this, Long Chen rubbed the meat with chopsticks in a somewhat depressed mood.
"I heard that my family is a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family of the Shrek Academy lineage from ten thousand years ago, and was recruited by the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy at a huge expense."
"So my family is looking forward to me becoming stronger at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
"Yeah. So you feel stressed?"
Long Chen's voice became smaller and smaller:
"Not really, but sometimes I wonder, if I could live as easily and comfortably as they do..."
"It's a normal thought, no big deal. They have their pressure, and we have ours."
Lu Jun quickly ate a few mouthfuls and left.
"I'm leaving now. The exhibition match will be held in the afternoon. I should prepare well. You can eat slowly."
"Brother Lu, take care."
…
Under the dome of the Tianhai Grand Fighting Arena, the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators rose and fell like waves.
In the live broadcast, the host loudly introduced:
"Today is the day when the Tianhai Alliance Competition begins. We have specially invited the representative team from Shrek Academy to exchange and learn from the champion team of the previous Tianhai Alliance Competition."
"Due to the strong strength of the Shrek Academy team, our exchange this time is a cross-age exchange."
"As the seven champions of the Tianhai Alliance Youth Group, we challenge the Shrek Academy Youth Group of seven."
The broadcast echoed throughout the stadium and the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Lu Jun stood in the preparation area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, looking calmly at the competition stage.
Beside him, Long Chen seemed a little nervous, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest of the chair.
"Brother Lu, you said...are we going to fight like this later?" Long Chen asked in a low voice, "Are we going to fight this champion team too?"
"No, we're going to play against the runner-up," Lu Jun replied calmly. "The Tianhai Alliance's top brass probably wanted to avoid losing face, so they didn't use the youth team to compete against us. Also, this kind of dragging us down seems a bit deliberate; they're just trying to drum up hype and traffic."
"Look, the Shrek team is coming out," Captain Zhao Tianyu said. "Everyone, watch carefully. What kind of martial spirits do they have and what levels they are at?"
"They are about the same age as us, so the difference shouldn't be too big."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance on the other side of the ring.
"Next, please welcome the Shrek Academy team!"
Accompanied by passionate music, seven figures walked out slowly.
The leader was a young man of about fifteen years old, with a slender figure and not particularly outstanding appearance, but his deep eyes gave people a feeling of calmness like a mountain.
He just took a few steps forward and naturally became the focus of the entire audience, as if the aura of the entire stadium was flowing with his steps.
"The Shrek Academy team, captain, Yu Tianxuan, level 48 strong attack system fighting spirit, martial spirit, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."
His voice was calm and powerful, and as soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into exclamations.
Lu Jun's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself:
"His last name is Yu? It seems he's a genius of this generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. He's pretty similar to the Shrek team that participated in the Tianhai Alliance exhibition match in the original novel."
He remembered that the captain of this team in the original work also had the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit.
Thinking of this, Lu Jun continued to look and found Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi in the team.
"Sure enough, not much has changed."
