Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 256

"Are you sure those creatures actually exist?"

“That’s true, it’s hard to keep the secrets inside from you.” Long Yuxue showed a look of deep emotion.

He easily killed Ba'an with only a fraction of his strength. If he were to go all out, he would be comparable to a Title Douluo. In addition, given his young age, he will probably be able to enter the Blood God Camp soon.

"As for contact with those abyssal creatures, normal recruits need a year of training, but it probably won't take you much time. Abyssal creatures are very active."

Long Yuxue's voice suddenly became somewhat heavy. The Long family was a Soul Master family that stayed in the Blood God Legion. The family had hundreds of members, and their ancestors had been dealing with these abyssal creatures for generations.

The somber mood only lasted for a moment before Long Yuxue quickly recovered. She took Lin Xingyu to the previous office, gave him a brief explanation, and then left. She still needed to report Lin Xingyu's grades, which was not something she could decide on her own.

The middle-aged female military officer in charge of reception looked at Lin Xingyu with some curiosity.

"I didn't expect your assessment results to be so good. You only encounter such an example that needs to be reported once every few years."

"It was just a lucky break; it was an environment that suited my abilities perfectly." Lin Xingyu was modest, but he wasn't lying.

Without restricting his qi and blood, his performance was far better than others.

Shaking her head, the middle-aged female officer said, "It's just a humble remark from a strong person."

As one of the people responsible for the assessment, how could she not know the level of difficulty involved?

"Let me arrange what you need."

The female officer efficiently completed the information entry for Lin Xingyu, helped him collect his ID card and uniform, and arranged his personal dormitory. Finally, she gave Lin Xingyu a brief explanation of the rules of the military camp.

It had taken nearly two hours to get the key and find the dormitory for Lin Xingyu.

Looking at the dormitory room in front of me, which has a bunk bed and a desk, the space is not large, but it is quite clean.

I tidied up a bit and arranged my belongings neatly.

There wasn't much there, just some everyday items; the valuables were all kept in his storage soul tool.

"Dong Dong!!"

The door opened slightly, and Long Yuxue stood quietly outside. Her crisp military uniform, outlined in gold by the rare sunlight, added a touch of gentleness to her heroic bearing.

"Sir, is there anything else?"

Long Yuxue said softly, "You don't need to call me superior anymore. I'll submit your assessment video. I heard they've sent it to higher levels. Even if your rank was lower than mine when you first came down, it'll be about the same as mine in a couple of days."

"Call me Long Yuxue or Yuxue, it's up to you."

"What about the rain and snow?"

A smile appeared in Long Yuxue's eyes, and she continued, "The Blood God Legion has some unique rules to ensure its combat effectiveness."

"Here, we only look at each person's strength and merits, never at your background. As long as you have merits, you can basically get anything. The advantage is that we have channels for everything, whether it's a top-of-the-line training room, high-grade natural treasures, rare metals, or weapons. Things that are extremely rare in the outside world are all available here."

"The downside is that you need merit points to eat here, and there are only so many sources of merit points, with fighting those abyssal creatures being the main source."

At this point in the introduction, Long Yuxue couldn't help but complain a bit.

I don't want any useless people to exist. I hope everyone can transform quickly under encouragement, and I also want to ensure there's a minimum standard.

Lin Xingyu remembered the rules of the Blood God Legion and stroked his chin.

"Are you here to offer loan services?"

Long Yuxue revealed a very obvious smile, like a little fox who had successfully stolen a chicken.

"That's right, my interest rate is guaranteed to be the lowest, only 10% per month. It's almost lunchtime, you don't want to go hungry, do you?"

Lin Xingyu's lips twitched. Ten percent? Just that? In another place, someone like you would have been punched hard long ago.

"I think that streetlight outside would suit you quite well." Lin Xingyu silently stepped aside from the figure standing at the door and took some things out of his storage soul tool and placed them on the table.

The index finger and thumb of the right hand are slightly together, leaving a small space.

"My storage soul tool is a little big, and since I really enjoy all kinds of food, I've put quite a lot of supplies in it. Would you like to try some?"

Having been raised by Chef Muye, Lin Xingyu's selection of food is naturally top-notch.

Gollum.

Long Yuxue felt her stomach make a rumbling sound. It smelled so good, a hundred times better than the food in the cafeteria.

Long Yuxue, who originally wanted to refuse loudly, sat down as if possessed.

Half an hour later, the two, having eaten and drunk their fill, sat facing each other.

"The taste is very good, but the nutritional value is a bit lacking. It's okay to change things up occasionally."

Long Yuxue shared her post-meal thoughts.

Lin Xingyu rolled his eyes. You ate pretty fast just now, and you change your expression pretty fast too. Besides, he relies on pills for his cultivation.

With the power of nine dragons upon me, I'll have no say in this or that.

"What's the market price for military merits in the military camp?" Lin Xingyu asked.

"As long as it meets the corresponding standards and is commensurate with the value of the item, the higher-ups will generally not interfere. However, items that only have a little merit can be sold for hundreds of merit, which are the focus of the higher-ups' crackdown."

Lin Xingyu nodded. This was to prevent outsiders from using their power to exploit others and to maintain a relatively fair environment.

He took out a badge and a piece of six-in-one soul-forged metal from his storage soul tool and placed them on the table in front of him.

"These two combined should be enough to easily earn military merits, right?"

"A master craftsman?!"

……

Blood God Camp.

Xue Jiu looked at the latest assessment video reported from the camp and was completely bewildered.

To be honest, he couldn't create a separate mental space within the assessment environment...

The snow and ice outside were cold, but he felt even colder inside.

So how long can I stay in the Blood Nine position?

After reviewing the information about Lin Xingyu sent by the Temple of War, he hesitated for a moment before calling everyone else over.

A moment later, everyone from Blood Two to Blood Nine turned their gaze toward the middle-aged man at the head of the group.

“Interesting. Although he didn’t show it, I could still tell. He should be able to shield the simulated abyssal energy with his mental power. Even if his mental power hasn’t reached the Spirit Realm, he has already grasped the basics of the Spirit Realm,” Cao Dezhi chuckled softly.

“Give him the rank of major, have someone give him a lecture on the creatures of the abyss for the first month, and then let him do whatever he wants after that.”

"Are we just going to leave it like this?" Blood Two asked.

"With his battle armor, he already possesses the combat power of a Title Douluo. You really think you can treat him like a rookie?" Cao Dezhi retorted.

The group was speechless for a moment.

"It's rare to find a promising young person willing to come here. Perhaps they will be the ones to succeed us a hundred years from now. Let them go."
