101Chapter 101 Sun and Moon Royal Le Zhengyu
The magnificent gate of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is in sight.
Just as Lu Jun was about to swipe his card to enter, a familiar yet somewhat unexpected figure hurried out from the door and almost bumped into him.
The two of them stopped at the same time, looked up, and were both stunned.
The other person's dazzling golden hair sparkled under the soul guide light. His handsome face had a hint of the reserve unique to aristocratic children, but at this moment it was full of surprise.
"It's you?" Le Zhengyu was the first to react. His eyes widened instantly and he pointed at Lu Jun. "Aren't you... the guy who took away all our team's spiritual power last time at the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Lu Jun also immediately recognized the other party. It was Le Zhengyu, the genius of the Angel Family whom he had provoked in the Spirit Ascension Platform.
His mind raced, and without hesitation, he apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, Senior. Last time at the Spirit Ascension Platform, I was a bit too aggressive with you. I was wrong in this matter."
Lu Jun's idea is simple and direct: admit his mistakes and stand at attention when beaten.
He wouldn't lose anything by apologizing, and he wasn't the kind of person from Shrek Academy who wouldn't admit his mistakes. After all, his behavior in the Spirit Ascension Platform in order to test the Bingyuan Sword was indeed a bit overbearing, and Leng Yaozhu had to clean up his mess a lot.
Shenglingtai is not his home.
What I said to Leng Yaozhu that day was also to get away with it.
It would be bad if the other party found out that he was a divine weapon.
Besides, Le Zhengyu comes from a prominent angel family, is extremely talented, and has extensive connections in the academy.
Instead of creating grudges, it is better to take the initiative to resolve them.
Making friends with many people is a necessary means of survival for him, who does not have a deep background.
His background is nothing except Leng Yaozhu, and this is not acceptable.
When it comes to backgrounds, the more the better.
Lu Jun's straightforward and straightforward apology stunned Le Zhengyu, who was originally preparing to accuse him. All the questions he had prepared were stuck in his throat.
He looked at the aloof and cold young man in front of him with some surprise. He had never expected that he would be like this in private...
Frank and direct?
"Uh... no, nothing!" Le Zhengyu subconsciously waved his hands repeatedly. The slight displeasure on his face due to being interrupted quickly dissipated. Instead, he felt embarrassed. "The competition within the Soul Ascension Platform is fierce. Everyone is striving for soul evolution, so fighting over it is normal. I'm not as skilled as others, so there's nothing to complain about."
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with not being as skilled as others.
If you are stronger, the other party will not be able to achieve their goal.
The thoughts in his mind were also spinning rapidly. This guy, with his bone-chilling coldness and arrogance in the Spirit Ascension Platform, was like an icy swordsman who kept strangers away.
I didn't expect that the apology in real life would be so straightforward and clear, without any airs of genius at all?
The contrast is too great.
This instantly made Le Zhengyu's impression of Lu Jun soar a lot.
It turns out that he is not a guy who relies on his talent to be arrogant.
"Thank you for your understanding." Seeing that his attitude had softened, Lu Jun stopped talking and nodded slightly to Le Zhengyu.
Too much is as bad as too little. Being overly enthusiastic may make you seem deliberate.
It's enough to leave a good impression.
Lu Jun turned sideways and prepared to enter the academy.
"Hey, wait a minute." Le Zhengyu stopped him, his golden eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Are you also a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? Which class? Why haven't I seen you before?"
He was indeed a little surprised. Considering Lu Jun's performance that day and his current soul power fluctuations, he should not be unknown in the academy.
Lu Jun stopped and answered frankly:
"I'm in the middle grade class one."
"Middle...Middle Grade Class 1?!" The expression on Le Zhengyu's face suddenly became interesting, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He looked up and down at Lu Jun's face, which was obviously a few years younger than his, and then looked at the other's calm eyes. A deep sense of powerlessness and sincere admiration surged up in him.
I am a student in the first grade of senior class.
He is also known as one of the most outstanding talents of this generation in the Angel Family!
But the one in front of me... is even younger, yet already in the top class in the middle grades?
Thinking back to the terrifying power that was crushing everything in its path...
The little knot in Le Zhengyu's heart caused by his spiritual power being robbed completely disappeared at this moment.
The gap is too big, I can't help but accept it.
He was able to kill two Soul Kings when he was at the third ring.
Even though he is a Soul King without battle armor, this is still incredible!
Even if you replace us with ten thousand Le Zhengyu, we still can't achieve this result.
"So it's my junior..." Le Zhengyu's tone unconsciously took on a hint of respect, and he said with a wry smile, "No wonder you're so amazing. Middle Grade Class One... you must be on the list of geniuses, right? I'll have to keep a close eye on you later."
He suddenly felt that losing to a monster of this level wasn't so shameful after all.
Lu Jun felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and scratched his cheek subconsciously:
"Well... sort of."
He is indeed on the list.
Yue Zhengyu looked at Lu Jun's little action and felt that the contrast was even greater. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are such an interesting person."
He then thought of another question, with a certain inquiry that is unique to children from aristocratic families:
"By the way, with your talent and background... uh, I mean, why didn't you go to Shrek Academy? Don't they claim to only accept the most monstrous of monsters?"
Lu Jun did not answer directly, but asked curiously:
"Senior Le, your Angel Family has a long and rich heritage, and your talent is top-notch. Logically, Shrek Academy should be very welcoming to you. Why haven't you gone yet?"
When Shrek was mentioned, the smile on Le Zhengyu's face faded a little, and a complex and incomprehensible emotion flashed across his eyes, which then turned into a cold snort with obvious disdain:
"Hmph, Shrek? Twenty thousand years ago, our Angel Family was the top existence that controlled the Spirit Hall. What happened? We were wiped out by that Shrek-born Sea God, Tang San, and his group."
"The Spirit Hall fell apart, and our family began to decline."
His tone was filled with a sense of pride and resentment that came from his blood:
"They are our family's enemies. Even though it's a matter of history, they want us, the direct descendants of the Angel Family, to join the academy founded by our enemies? To accept their teachings? Haha!"
Le Zhengyu spread his hands, his expression showing the arrogance and disdain of a young man:
"We also have our own integrity. What's wrong with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? In terms of resources, teachers, and environment, how is it worse than Shrek? I can become stronger here too! Why should I suffer that?"
After listening to this, Lu Jun nodded silently.
What Yue Zhengyu said makes sense.
The family's historical grievances are indeed a gap that is difficult to cross.
At this moment, the soul guide communicator on Yue Zhengyu's wrist sounded a prompt. He looked down and immediately cried out in surprise:
"Oh no, I was so busy chatting that I almost forgot I have class. Let's talk next time, junior."
As he said this, he hurried towards the teaching building.
"Wait, Senior." Lu Jun stopped him and said seriously, "I'm sorry about what happened at the Soul Ascension Platform last time. If you need help with your soul at the Intermediate Soul Ascension Platform next time, you can come to me and I'll help you."
Le Zhengyu paused, turned around, and smiled heartily:
"Hahaha, junior, you're really kind. But there's no need. The cold tower master of your Spirit Pagoda has already compensated everyone in our team with enough spiritual power points to upgrade their souls. We're even now."
He shook the communicator on his wrist and smiled brightly:
"But I, Le Zhengyu, have made you my friend. Come, let's exchange contact numbers so I can look after you in the academy!"
Lu Jun also showed a faint smile:
"good."
The two quickly exchanged communicator numbers.
Only then did Yue Zhengyu wave his hand contentedly and ran towards the teaching building in a hurry, leaving behind a string of hearty laughter.
Watching Le Zhengyu's disappearing back, Lu Jun looked down at the newly added contact in the communicator, Le Zhengyu, and the angel wings icon. The heavy haze in his heart caused by the Tang Sect and the mysterious forces seemed to be diluted a little by this unexpected and relaxing encounter.
