Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 115 Border Troop Reinforcements, Turbulence to Rise on the Continent

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Shangguan Weier, Luo Xinyao took office and officially became the new head of Ziyang Pavilion.

Through the joint efforts of Luo Xinyao and Shangguan Weier, the two companies merged their businesses and became deeply intertwined.

It is believed that within a year or two, the term "Ordinary Alliance" will become a thing of the past, replaced by an even more powerful underground force.

On the other side, Xu Tianze was not idle either, as he had to take care of the training of the Shence Camp in addition to his cultivation.

Xu Tianze stood at the front of the new recruits, gazing into the distance as 150 veterans donned their weighted cross-country running gear and gathered at the starting line.

At Ye Liuyun's command, 150 people rushed out and quickly disappeared from his sight.

This is one of the veterans' training programs: a 500-kilometer cross-country run without physical strength and carrying a load.

The Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire are too physically weak. Their cultivation mainly relies on the accumulation of pills, and their physique is much weaker than that of ordinary experts of the same level. They must train more, which also trains their willpower.

Nowadays, they no longer need to make military soul tools themselves, so they have plenty of time to improve their physical strength.

All the new recruits stood in the center of the training ground, all standing straight and maintaining a standard military posture.

Even though the sun wasn't very strong, sweat kept pouring down uncontrollably. This kind of training was incredibly tough and grueling; they never dreamed that simply standing could be so exhausting.

In the traditional soldier training of the Sun Moon Empire, there was no such system as Xu Tianze's; the training mainly revolved around the use of soul tools.

Xu Tianze used his soul power to transform into a purple lightning whip, which sometimes weaved back and forth among them.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. In a daze, everyone saw a purple afterimage flash past their eyes, and a whip lashed heavily across the waist of the Soul Master soldier.

Snapped--

pop-

Then came two more lashes, and the other two also suffered the same fate.

"hiss!"

The three men, who had been urged on, gasped and immediately straightened their backs and stood up straight, no longer daring to take any chances or slack off.

Their eyes burn with fire, and they refuse to yield even after being tempered a thousand times.

The five guardians of the Sun Moon Empire are renowned and are considered sacred sites by all Soul Masters who aspire to be soldiers.

They thought they were just honing their skills and gaining experience in this newly formed army, and that with their talent and strength, they would soon officially become part of the five great protectors of the nation.

But to everyone's surprise, all they got in return was the veterans' assessment that he was a burden. How could they, with their pride and arrogance, accept this?

Once this competitive spirit takes hold, the subsequent training becomes much easier.

Xu Tianze was not an unreasonable person. He would ignore their bodies when they had involuntary reactions, as long as it wasn't due to their own laziness.

Following the route for cross-country running with weights in the military camp, a complete lap is about twenty kilometers.

Watching the veterans run past them, drenched in sweat, their uniforms as if they'd been washed, the new recruits didn't feel their training was particularly tough.

Ye Liuyun came to Xu Tianze's side and handed him a list.

"Your Highness, this is a preliminary list of special operations team members that I have drafted in accordance with your instructions and requirements. Please take a look."

There were ten people in total, all veterans with at least a six-ring Soul Emperor level, and the special forces captain and vice-captain were even seven-ring Soul Saints.

"Where are the soul bones I gave you? Have they all been distributed to the brothers?" "Please rest assured, Your Highness, they have all been distributed. Based on a comprehensive consideration of military merits and the suitability of the soul bone attributes, six people on this list have received soul bones, and the rest are all veterans of captain rank or above."

"Okay, I trust you to handle things. There's no problem with this list. Organize them to start special operations training as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness."

As they spoke, Xu Tianze took out a box from his storage soul tool and handed it to Ye Liuyun.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"You'll see for yourself when you get back. Hey, I'm telling you this in advance: don't send it back to me. Keep what's yours, or you'll be disobeying orders."

What else could be in the box? It was the two soul bones that Xu Tianze had specially left for him. As one of Xu Tianze's longest-serving subordinates, his right-hand man, how could Xu Tianze possibly forget him?

These two soul bones were extremely suitable for Ye Liuyun in terms of age, attributes, and soul skills. Xu Tianze had already kept them for him.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Tch, do we brothers need to talk about this?"

Just as the training on the drill ground was in full swing, someone from the palace came and summoned Xu Tiance to the palace.

Xu Tianze set off immediately. With Ye Liuyun in charge of the military camp, he didn't need to worry too much.

Upon entering the palace, he went straight to the Imperial Study, where he bumped into several ministers of military affairs. Since they were all acquaintances, after exchanging greetings and learning that the Emperor had summoned him, they dared not delay Xu Tianze any longer.

Upon seeing them, Xu Tianze's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Sure enough, upon seeing the Sun and Moon Emperor's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, he knew that his premonition had come true.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Sixth brother, you're here."

"Father, what has happened that you summoned so many ministers of military affairs?"

The Sun and Moon Emperor nodded and handed him a report. "Indeed, something major has happened. Take a look at this."

Xu Tianze took the report and immediately understood everything. The report came from the border garrison of the Sun Moon Empire, and its gist was that the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire were simultaneously increasing their troop deployments to guard the borders bordering the Sun Moon Empire.

The sudden reinforcement of border troops is not a good sign. They may be guarding against the Sun Moon Empire, or they may suddenly cross the border and launch an invasion.

"Xingluo and Tianhun are both reinforcing their troops at the same time. Could it be because of our conflict with Shrek Academy?"

“When you have a bad neighbor, every move you make will naturally cause them to be overly nervous. For Xingluo and Tianhun, our Sun Moon Empire is that bad neighbor.”

Last time, even Shrek Academy suffered a great loss in our Sun Moon Empire. Our attitude and response were quite tough, so of course they had to be on guard.

Both countries are increasing their troop numbers to guard their borders, and the Sun and Moon Empire will naturally also increase its troop numbers to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

This will create tension among the three kingdoms, and the mainland will once again be thrown into turmoil.

"Currently, the main force responsible for guarding the Mingdou Mountains is the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps. How about it, kid, do you dare to bring the Divine Strategy Battalion over there to share my burdens?"

The Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps is one of the four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire. It represents the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, one of the royal family's inherited martial souls, which is also Xu Tiance's main martial soul.

In terms of combat power, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps is definitely superior to the other three Beast King-level Soul Master Corps. The corps leader, Xu Tianyuan, is a member of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, a prince, and a level nine Soul Master.
