Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 256 The Federal Volunteer Army, under the orders of General Feng, reinforces the Blood God Legion!

"Rain and Snow, what did you say? Someone actually wants to disrupt the loan market and give interest-free loans to new recruits? How can this be allowed?"

Jiang Qiyue ran into Long Yuxue at the military training department and learned from her best friend that a young man had come to the Blood God Legion. He had worked in forging and had hunted down evil soul masters. He was young but had a high status and was about to spend a lot of money as soon as he arrived.

"Okay, so from now on, don't even think about earning contribution points from new recruits with a monthly interest rate of over 100%. That person's intention is to completely overhaul things."

Long Yuxue put down the soul-guided heavy gun that was under her arm, her pretty face flushed from the intense exercise. She wiped her sweat and said with a smile, "That person hates this kind of thing. He asked me to tell you friends to deal with the loans for the new recruits as soon as possible. The principal doesn't matter, but the interest must be reduced from 100% per month and over 1200% per year to less than 5% per year."

"He said that from now on, the unspoken rule that new recruits of the Blood God Legion would not get food would be completely changed, and all outdated customs and bad habits would be swept away."

He said he came to the Blood God Legion to do only three things: fairness, welfare, and fighting.

The Blood God Legion has an abstract characteristic that sets it apart from other legions: everything must be done by themselves. New recruits without military merit cannot even get food, making them even worse off than black livestock.

The Blood God Legion is not without food; on the contrary, food is very valuable, and all of this requires high military merits. New recruits can only borrow money from veterans to fill their stomachs, and the starting interest rate, except for Long Yuxue, is 100% per month.

The so-called 100% monthly interest rate means that the loan amount doubles after one month and increases twelvefold after one year. Feng Zaixing still remembers being horrified when he read this part of the book back then, and he was so shocked that he could be said to have knelt down in tears.

Damn it, the highest annual interest rate for online loans is only 36%. Any higher and it's usury. But usurers would have to call you their patriarch!

New recruits who don't take out loans won't get food, but if they don't repay the loan within a few months, they'll never be able to pay it back in their lifetime!

In the Blood God Legion, one has to serve creditors like a slave, serving them like a servant. For example, Jiang Qiyue's brother, Overlord Dragon Jiang Wuyue, once issued high-interest loans to make new recruits who had served for many years work as waiters in entertainment venues.

With the Blood God Legion left unsupervised, various problems would inevitably arise over time. The discipline and internal atmosphere of the Blood God Legion were predictably poor. Veterans didn't even consider themselves human, and new recruits suffered oppression, ultimately turning them all into desperados.

"No! We all went through the process of being new recruits. We used to save money by doing that. How did things change here?" Jiang Qiyue was on the verge of tears.

It's one thing to be dangerous in peacetime, but why can't new recruits be exploited?

Long Yuxue was terrified after witnessing Feng Zaixing smash the small mountain. Determined to persuade her best friend, she said, "He didn't participate in the group's entrance exam, nor did he undergo military rank evaluation."

Jiang Qiyue opened her eyes in astonishment: "This...this...the Blood God Legion can also get in through connections?"

Has the federal crackdown on organized crime extended its reach to the Blood God Legion?

"Because his own military rank is already that of a general, which is the same as that of a corps commander, his own strength is even greater than that of a corps commander."

Long Yuxue compared Zhang Huanyun, who was at level 98, with Hades Douluo Halosa and came to a conclusion. She reassured her best friend, saying, "Logically speaking, a legion of the Blood God Legion's level is not qualified to assess him."

"In fact, he was very dissatisfied with Commander Zhang and all the previous commanders, believing that the people who created this system were extremely wicked and he wanted to dig up their ancestral graves."

"Wait a minute! I know who you're talking about—"

Jiang Qiyue put down the two exquisite soul-guided cannons and said, "FBI Director Feng Zaixing, is that right?" Long Yuxue nodded slightly.

"It's over. Everyone outside is saying that wherever the FBI's reach extends, big business tycoons and Soul Master families are left in tears. Now they're even targeting the Blood God Legion—"

Jiang Qiyue, tears streaming down her face, quickly looked at Long Yuxue, blinking her bright eyes, and said, "Yuxue, why don't you sacrifice yourself for everyone and offer yourself to corrupt his will? Don't wipe out my interest, okay?"

Long Yuxue was extremely embarrassed upon hearing this. She pinched Jiang Qiyue's soft waist, her pretty face contorted with anger, and snapped, "I'll tear your mouth apart, you brat!"

"I'm not lying. Didn't you feel sorry for him when he was besieged by the Shrek people in Mingdu? You watched him grow up." Jiang Qiyue ran away quickly.

"Shut up! That guy swore in front of the Heroes' Tomb to capture the Scythe Emperor from the Abyss Plane and sacrifice him alive to our ancestors. How dare I try to stop him!"

Long Yuxue, fearing that Jiang Qiyue hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, raised her fist and struck.

Is this how you test him? Can't he withstand such a test?

Just as the two women were chasing and playing around, a violent and terrifying tremor suddenly came from beyond the sky.

The two women looked up towards the outside of the snow-capped mountains and soon saw a series of black mechs speeding towards the Blood God Legion's airspace.

The lead mecha was a red one, not humanoid, but shaped like a golden toad, seemingly in the style of the neighboring Star Luo Continent.

Beside the Golden Toad mech, two other red mechs accompanied it; they were humanoid and equipped with numerous soul-guided cannons.

Jiang Qiyue was stunned: "What's going on? There are hundreds of black mechs at a glance. Which Federation elite mech regiment has arrived?"

Long Yuxue's expression fluctuated: "More importantly, the Blood God Legion's airspace never allows outside troops to enter. Are these people here to provide support, or—"

"Not good! Quickly notify the higher-ups!" Jiang Qiyue's pretty face panicked. An elite mech regiment could not possibly shake the Blood God Legion, but its strength should not be underestimated.

In fact, the Blood God Legion's higher-ups reacted much faster than the two women had imagined.

A dozen or so figures leaped out of the snow-capped mountain, while others flashed into the sky. Light and shadow moved erratically, and advanced mechs took to the air to form a defensive line.

"Who goes there?"

Zhang Huanyun took the lead at the head of the formation without hesitation, loudly asking whether the newcomers were friend or foe.

The mechs did not answer. Then, the experts and elite soldiers of the Blood God Legion saw the mechs streak across the sky, shining brightly, and forming a line of artistic lettering in the air.

The Federal Volunteer Army, under the orders of General Feng of the Federal Military Headquarters and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is to reinforce the Blood God Legion's defenses!

The day of retaliation has arrived; the abyss dimension is about to be shattered!

Everyone who saw this line of text was stunned. Even the nine Blood Gods, including Mu Ye, were confused. Did Feng Zaixing think that the Blood God Legion was not strong enough and mobilize his own private troops?

Zhang Huanyun hadn't expected Feng Zaixing to bring her such a big surprise so quickly, and shouted, "Even a Federation general cannot privately deploy troops into the Blood God Legion's defenses! Do you have any official Federation documents?"

"Not for now, the process is too long, but the military won't object! We are a volunteer army formed independently!"

From inside the Golden Toad Mech, a powerful voice rang out from Luan Hongchen. The hatch opened, and an immense aura surged into the air, shocking everyone present!

"Limit Douluo! How could you—" Zhang Huanyun's pupils dilated in shock. This old guy Luan Hongchen had been obsessed with mecha for who knows how long, how could he break through the limit so quickly?

Luan Hongchen laughed heartily: "This is all thanks to our Federation's new master craftsman. He sent me a large amount of Heavenly Forging Metal to absorb and cultivate. I would be letting him down if I didn't break through."

Zhang Huanyun, Long Tianwu, Mu Ye, and the others all looked puzzled: ???

What does it mean to absorb Heavenly Forged Metal for cultivation? Are these words even possible?

Among the crowd, the eight Blood Gods outside of Muye caught another key word: new master craftsman. When did Zhenhua have a successor?

At this moment, space distorted, and Feng Zaixing and Aruheng strode out and appeared in front of the Blood God Legion's high-ranking officials.

"Move into the snow-capped mountains and await battle." This time, Feng Zaixing didn't greet the Blood God Legion. He waved his hand behind him, and five hundred black mechs moved with the wind.

"Wait, wait, wait—" Zhang Huanyun said anxiously with a wry smile, "Brother Feng, what are you up to now? Is our Blood God Legion not strong enough?"

"Compared to those people in the Abyss Plane, they are somewhat inferior."

Feng Zaixing actually nodded, his gaze then sweeping over the snow mountain military camp. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he sighed softly, "Moreover, the Blood God Legion has too many historical problems. I'm willing to reform it, but I fear I might be met with insincere compliance; I dare not use your people, so I'll have to find some volunteers."

Zhang Huanyun's face paled: "Is it because the legion didn't pay its soldiers in the past, and veterans were issuing high-interest loans to new recruits? I admit there are some problems within the Blood God Legion, but those are historical issues—"

"I know, that's why I'm here to solve the problem. If you don't bring in fresh water from a source, this place will always be stagnant."

Feng Zaixing gave a cold laugh and said loudly, "I, Feng, have never tolerated any wrongdoing. The Blood God Legion's problems must be eradicated! Otherwise, if you don't even consider yourselves human, how can you possibly rise up no matter how much support you receive?"

Zhang Huanyun was about to speak again when she saw Feng Zaixing's brows furrow, his eyes filled with unparalleled majesty, as he shouted, "Get out of the way!"

These words carried the power to pierce through clouds and shatter rocks, causing Zhang Huanyun to inexplicably take two steps back.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of mechs shot towards the snow-capped mountain like meteors, landing at the camp newly opened by Feng Zaixing.

As the cockpits of the mechs opened, the Blood God Legion's high command was astonished to discover that everyone's cultivation level was above the sixth ring, and everyone was wearing battle armor with a word of two or higher. The number of three-word battle armor masters exceeded ten.

The most terrifying thing is that the people who jumped out from the other two god-level mechs were the same Limit Douluo as Luan Hongchen!

The Titan Giant Ape was incomparably mighty, the air was heavy with gravity, and Tian Dang Douluo Yuanen Tian Dang.

The sun and moon shine brightly, yin and yang are in harmony, the soul guide robe is like a treasure, and the sun and moon are like the radiant brilliance of Kong Yao.

Kong Yao was carrying a small, shimmering ball of light and shadow. Zhang Huanyun, who recognized its value, exclaimed in shock, "A linked soul guidance device! You actually brought something like this in? This...this—"

Linked Soul Tools were unparalleled weapons on the battlefield ten thousand years ago. The five major Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire relied on this equipment to confront Limit Douluo head-on and were invincible.

After the war ended, Shi Tang privately negotiated peace, saying that he could help the Federation persuade the remaining people of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire to leave, but there were many conditions, including sealing and destroying many forbidden soul tools such as the Linked Soul Guidance Array and the High-Energy Defense Soul Guidance Array.

Otherwise, how could the Tang Clan, which was so far behind in soul guidance research, possibly catch up with the Mingde Hall's advantage?

Kong Yao smiled faintly and said, "The originator of this research was my ancestor. Now that the Tang Clan is a traitorous organization, the agreement made back then is naturally invalid. Why can't I restart the research?"

Feng Zaixing smiled and said, "With this, killing Limit Douluo is as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs. Such a peerless weapon should naturally be used in the most suitable place, such as the Blood God Legion's defensive line. What do you all think?"

Zhang Huanyun hesitated for a moment, then helplessly lowered her hands, giving a bitter smile: "You've already brought this, what else can I do?"

He knew that from this moment on, control of the snow mountain was no longer in his hands; Feng Zaixing ultimately did not believe him.

Long Yuxue and Jiang Qiyue trembled, their pretty faces drained of color.
