Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Blood Three smiled slightly, "Relax. Blood God Camp is different from other places. We don't have as many restrictions here. Let me introduce myself. I am Blood Three, and these are Blood Five, Blood Six, and Blood Seven. You've already met Blood Eight. Normally, there are only nine people in Blood God Camp. Welcome to the camp."

Xue Qi approached Chu Ci and smiled slightly, "Little brother, what's your name? Where are you from? Major, have you been here for a while?"

Chu Ci smiled and said, "My name is Chu Ci. I haven't been here long. I was recommended by the Temple of War."

"That's good. The Blood God Legion has quite a few soldiers who came from the Temple of War. You must be doing very well here," Blood Seven said with a smile.

"Come and take a look, everyone." Just then, Xue Ba's voice came, attracting everyone's attention.

The group walked to the screen, which was showing the scene of Chu Ci's battle in the abyss passage.

When Chu Ci descended from the heavens with divine power and killed two Black Emperors in two moves, the expressions of the Blood Gods changed, and their eyes revealed a hint of shock.

Then, when Chu Ci took out the black stone to absorb the energy of the abyss, the expressions of the Blood Gods became solemn.

When Chu Ci revealed even greater strength and joined forces with Xue Ba to withstand the attacks of the Abyss Monarch and the Enchantress, the Blood Gods were already looking at Chu Ci with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

"This strength? Is it fake? This is probably no less than many Title Douluos?" Xue Qi murmured.

Xue Liu's expression was serious as he said in a deep voice, "Although the Enchantress is suppressed by the seal, and even when she appears in her true form, she only projects less than a third of her power, she still possesses power no weaker than a Super Douluo. The fact that he was able to withstand an attack from the Enchantress without getting injured means that he has at least the strength of a Title Douluo."

Blood Eight glanced at Blood Six and Blood Seven, "Although Chu Ci's strength is astonishing, you should know that this is not what I want you to see."

Xue San nodded. "Yes, I understand. Chu Ci, I want to ask you, why is that black stone in your hand able to absorb the abyssal energy? And where does the absorbed abyssal energy go?"

Chu Ci's lips curled up. They had finally gotten to the point. A large part of the reason he and Xue Ba came to the Blood God Camp was to discuss a deal.

So he didn't hesitate and decisively took out the black stone he had retrieved from the abyss passage to show the Blood Gods.

Xue Qi couldn't help but lean closer to examine the irregular stone, which was black with a red glow, and asked curiously, "What's the story behind this stone?"

Chu Ci smiled faintly and explained, "This stone is called the Abyss Stone. It is a soul tool that I specially designed. It can absorb abyssal energy and store it inside. After processing, the abyssal energy inside can even be reused."

The Abyss Stone and the Soul Stealing Beast are similar in that one can absorb abyssal energy, while the other can absorb soul power. Therefore, Chu Ci did not have to put in much effort to create the Abyss Stone.

Before he arrived at the Blood God Legion, in addition to assisting the Federation in a special scientific research project, he also made preliminary designs for the Abyss Stone.

Once the Blood God Legion arrived and they had a sample of the Abyss Energy, Chu Ci naturally created the Abyss Stone.

"A soul tool!" A glint of light flashed in Xue San's eyes. "Can that be copied?!"

Chu Ci nodded, "If I have enough materials, I can forge another Abyss Stone, but the materials required are more expensive, so the cost will be higher!"

Blood Six immediately said, "Cost is not a problem. As long as the Abyss Stone can absorb abyssal energy and can be replicated, it will be a strategic resource for the Blood God Legion. We must obtain it no matter what, no matter the cost."

The other Blood Gods present were very excited. The fact that the abyssal creatures could not be truly eliminated and the abyssal plane could not be weakened had always been a thorn in the side of the Blood God Legion. But with the Abyssal Stone, perhaps the Blood God Legion could really sound the horn of counterattack against the abyssal plane.

"It's a pity that the Abyss has noticed the existence of the Abyss Stone. They'll probably be on guard now," Blood Five sighed.

Chu Ci waved his hand, "The Abyss Plane will have to focus some of its attention on competing for Abyss energy because of the existence of the Abyss Stone. We can take this opportunity to damage the Abyss Plane."

“You’re right about that,” Xue San nodded in agreement.

Just then, the elevator doors that Chu Ci and Xue Ba had entered through opened, and two people walked in from outside.

Walking in front was an old man whose entire body was filled with strange energy fluctuations, as if he were covered by elements.

He looked old, with a head of white hair, but his eyes were exceptionally clear; they were a striking emerald green.

The other person following behind him was tall and handsome, with long black hair flowing down his back. Everyone present was dressed in white military uniforms. The men Chu Ci had seen earlier, plus the old man who had just arrived, all wore the rank of Major General. But the last one to enter had three gold stars on his shoulder, indicating the rank of General.

According to Chu Ci's understanding of the original work, the old man is Blood God Camp Blood Second, whose true identity is the younger brother of Han Hai Douluo Chen Xinjie, and he comes from the War God Hall.

The man with the rank of general is Xue Yi of the Blood God Camp. His true identity is Cao Dezhi, the Hall Master of the Tang Sect's Douluo Hall. His title is Ruthless, Limit Douluo, a four-word Douluo Armor Master, and one of the strongest Soul Masters in the world.

Xue Er's gaze swept around before finally landing on Chu Ci. "Xiao Ba, did you call us here because of this young man?"

Xue Ba nodded and stepped forward to inform Xue Er about Chu Ci's performance and the existence of the Daoyuan Stone.

Chapter 321 The Deal: Directly Taking from the Blood God Legion's Treasury

After listening to Xue Ba's report, Xue Yi, also known as Cao Dezhi, looked at Chu Ci with a change in his gaze and smiled as he spoke to Xue Er.

"Second brother, the descendants of your War God Temple are truly remarkable! They solved a major problem for the Blood God Legion right from the start. They are truly formidable young talents."

Xue Er's gaze fell on Chu Ci, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

“That’s right, brother. Some time ago, Palace Master Chen repeatedly told me to pay more attention to Chu Ci, saying that his arrival would bring opportunities and changes to the Blood God Legion. I didn’t think much of it at first. I thought that the Blood God Legion’s status quo of more than 6,000 years could be changed by a young man, even though Chu Ci was already famous. But now it seems that I was narrow-minded.”

"You flatter me, sir!" Chu Ci said modestly.

“You deserve any praise in the world,” Blood Two said with a smile. “Let me introduce myself. I am Blood Two, just like you, from the Temple of War God. Your Temple Master Chen is my elder brother. You can contact me if you need anything in the future. As for the person next to me, he is the head of the Blood Gods, Blood One.”

At this moment, Cao Dezhi looked at the others, "Blood Six, Blood Seven, Blood Eight, you go and guard the passage. This tide is very strong. However, Chu Ci attracted the Demon Queen's attention once, so she will not be able to take action again in this tide. You are enough to ensure that the Blood God Legion safely passes through this abyss tide."

"Yes!"

Xue Er looked at Chu Ci and said with a smile, "Chu Ci, come with me."

Xue Er and Cao Dezhi led Chu Ci to a door in the center of the round hall. The door opened, and they led him inside.

The room wasn't very large, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant. The room was simply and plainly furnished, with only a few futons on the floor.

The three sat down on the prayer mats. As soon as they were settled, Xue Er went straight to the point and said, "Chu Ci, could you transfer the technology of the Abyss Stone to the Blood God Legion?"

Chu Ci smiled lightly, "Of course, as long as the Blood God Legion offers a high enough price, the Abyss Stone technology will be handed over without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Cao Dezhi frowned slightly, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Chu Ci! Because the Federation doesn't place much importance on the Blood God Legion, the annual military budget allocated to them is not much. After deducting the necessary expenses for the Blood God Legion's battles in the Abyss Plane, there's really very little left. So, Chu Ci, could you perhaps consider the Blood God Legion's hard work in guarding the Abyss Passage and perhaps..."

Chu Ci understood Cao Dezhi's words: the Blood God Legion had no money and could not offer any resources to exchange with him, so they hoped he could make some concessions.

Cao Dezhi's words weren't actually that problematic, because in the Federation's eyes, the Abyss Plane held nothing of value to them. Without any benefit, the Federation was unwilling to expend significant effort to attack the powerful Abyss Plane; they simply left the Blood God Legion to guard the passage after completing the seal.

But in fact, the vitality of the Abyss Plane itself is the greatest treasure. The future evolution of the Douluo Plane will depend on the energy of the Abyss Plane. Therefore, in Chu Ci's view, the Abyss Plane is a great treasure, and he is determined to obtain it.

Of course, this couldn't be told to Cao Dezhi and the others.

After thinking it over, Chu Ci waved his hand and said with feigned helplessness, "Sir, although you have always guarded the Abyss Plane and have never wavered even when Shrek Academy and Tang Sect suffered calamities, your spirit of always taking on the responsibility of protecting the lives of the people on the continent moves me and I admire you very much."

"But I personally don't have such lofty ideals and beliefs as you; I'm more concerned with my own interests."

Xue Er and Cao Dezhi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. Chu Ci's meaning was clear: don't talk to him about sacrifice.

"Alright then, Chu Ci, tell me what you want?" Xue Er asked.

A glint of light flashed in Chu Ci's eyes as he smiled and said, "I want all the internal information of the Blood God Legion to be made public, including all the soul tools they have developed, as well as information about the Abyss."

Cao Dezhi frowned, his voice stern and authoritative, and said, "Boy, are you trying to empty the Blood God Legion's coffers all at once?"

"Chu Ci, don't be too greedy," Xue Er reminded him.

"Greedy? I don't think so?" Chu Ci raised an eyebrow and said leisurely, "Your Blood God Legion's current resources can only help you resist the Abyss, not shake it. But if my Abyss Stone is used well, it can achieve the effect of attacking and defending against aliens, and even destroy the Abyss."

"From this perspective, the value of the Abyss Stone is actually higher than the total value of the Blood God Legion's assets! In the end, I'm the one who lost out."

Cao Dezhi's lips moved slightly; he wanted to refute that Chu Ci's value wasn't calculated that way, but everything the Blood God Legion did was to resist the Abyss. From that perspective, Chu Ci's words weren't really wrong!

Seeing Chu Ci's confident expression, Xue Er couldn't help but ask, "Do you think we'll agree to your conditions?"

"I think you'll agree!" Chu Ci said with a smile, looking like he had you all figured out.

Xue Er and Cao Dezhi fell silent for a moment. The existence of the Abyss Stone had indeed put them in a difficult position. Just as Xue San had said, the Abyss Stone was of great strategic significance to the Blood God Legion and was something they had to acquire at any cost.

Cao Dezhi remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and saying in a deep voice, "Fine, I'll grant you access. From today onwards, you can access all the information about the Blood God Legion from top to bottom, but you cannot take it out of the Blood God Legion. Is that alright?"

"Of course!" Chu Ci smiled. The Blood God Legion had existed for over six thousand years with the support of the four major organizations, and also bore the special responsibility of guarding the Abyss Plane. Over the years, its foundation might not be the deepest, but it was definitely the most unique.

For example, the Blood God Formation used to seal the Abyss Plane utilizes the principle of the Douluo Continent's repulsion of other world planes, and obtains the support of the nine primordial spiritual energies of the Douluo Continent to forge the strongest seal.

This Blood God Array is worth studying carefully by Chu Ci. The Blood God Heart, the Heavy Ion Ray, and other powerful and well-designed soul tools are also things Chu Ci can learn from.

Chu Ci took out a black USB flash drive from her storage wristband and handed it to Cao Dezhi.

"This contains the relevant technology for stealing abyss stones. I've written it out very clearly. Just find a few high-level soul masters to follow the instructions."

Cao Dezhi got up and left the room. A short while later, he returned and handed a Blood God Ring to Chu Ci.

The Blood God Ring now features a ring of bright red rose patterns, with each rose's stem covered in barbs, symbolizing the Blood God Camp.

"Wearing this Blood God Ring will allow you to access all the information about the Blood God Legion," Cao Dezhi said calmly.

Chapter 322 Joining the Blood God Camp, Challenging Blood Seven

Chu Ci examined the Blood God Ring in his hand for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Shouldn't we tell Commander Zhang Huanyun about this?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I've already spoken to Lao Zhang, and he doesn't object to you looking into the Blood God Legion's information," Cao Dezhi said calmly.

"That's OK!"

"Furthermore, your War God Temple 19th Team performed exceptionally well in the battle against the Abyss Tide, so it has been specially approved that the War God Temple 19th Team be designated as the Blood God Emergency Squad, under the Blood God Camp." Cao Dezhi showed Chu Ci a transfer order.

Chu Ci carefully read the contents of the transfer order and understood the meaning of the so-called Blood God Emergency Squad. It meant that they did not need to guard the abyss passages, but rather they would go to support the garrison of whichever abyss passage had a problem in its defense.

"So, does that mean I'm also a member of the Blood God Camp?" Chu Ci said.

Cao Dezhi nodded. "That's right, you're now an unofficial member of the Blood God Camp."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then smiled gently, "But I don't want to be an unofficial staff member; I want to be the Blood God."

Xue Er paused for a moment before saying, "Being the Blood God of the Blood God Camp is not easy. First, you have to become a prospective Blood God, then challenge a serving Blood God. Only after you succeed in the challenge can you take his place and become the Blood God."

Chu Ci nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "I killed two Black Emperors and repelled the Enchantress Emperor, so I should have enough merit points to become a prospective Blood God!"

Xue Er paused for a moment, then nodded. "Theoretically speaking, it is indeed enough!"

"That's fine!" Chu Ci changed his position on the transfer order to "Prospective Blood God." "I want to challenge the Blood God, come on!"

Xue Er was stunned. He had just entered the Blood God Camp and was already being asked to challenge the Blood God. He had been in the Blood God Camp for so many years and had never encountered such a situation before. He could only ask Cao Dezhi for help.

"Big brother, will this work?"

Cao Dezhi's lips twitched, and after a long silence, he slowly said, "Theoretically speaking, it's feasible!"

Chu Ci stood up, stretched, and said loudly, "Since it's feasible, then I'll go and take on the challenge."

Xue Er rubbed his temples and asked helplessly, "Alright, which Blood God do you choose to challenge?"

"Anyone will do?" Chu Ci asked.

“Of course,” Blood Two nodded.

Chu Ci stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Blood Eight and Blood Nine both come from the War God Temple, so they're considered our own people. It wouldn't be appropriate to defeat them."

"Then I've decided, the Blood God I will challenge is..."
