Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

A four-ring Soul Master is the minimum requirement for entry into the Blood God Legion. Even the most demanding sects wouldn't have such a requirement, let alone the military. Furthermore, one cannot be a pure Soul Instructor; one must be a Soul Master.

In battles against abyssal creatures, weapons are often just supplementary; if one's own strength is insufficient, it is simply impossible to sustain a continuous fight.

Fighting for extended periods on the plateau in icy and snowy conditions is an immense test of a soldier's strength and willpower. Therefore, while less than half successfully retire here, many are actually eliminated prematurely due to their inability to cope mentally.

Elimination and retirement are different. Officers who retire from the Blood God Legion are the most sought-after talents by all military regions, while those who are eliminated are not qualified to say that they have ever served in the Blood God Legion.

Ten years is a long time in a lifetime.

Many prominent families go to great lengths to send their most talented members to the Blood God Legion, with the sole purpose of honing their skills over the next ten years. Those who successfully complete this service are likely to become pillars of their families in the future.

Currently, within the Federal Military, both hawks and doves have members who came from the Blood God Legion. While the current Federal Chief of the Military has never served in the Blood God Legion, his son is.

This shows the sheer number of powerful Soul Masters within the Blood God Legion. Even a typical Soul King-enhanced regiment likely has at least a hundred Soul Kings, possibly more. And even a single legion would have an uncountable number of Soul Masters under its command.

Ten years?

Gu You clenched his fists, secretly setting a goal for himself: within ten years, no matter what, he would find a way to become a regional commander. At the same time, his personal strength must also reach the level of a Limit Douluo within these ten years, touching the threshold of godhood.

Then he killed the last two first-level gods in this world, and then he had his own grand ambitions...

For the next week, Gu You followed Long Yuxue to learn various things about the Abyss Clan.

There's a lot to learn about races from another dimension. For example, their racial classifications, racial talents, combat characteristics, and the various key aspects of fighting in the passageways—each point is crucial.

However, for Gu You, this special training was definitely easy. He was just learning knowledge, and with his current level of mental strength, he could learn very quickly.

Long Yuxue was surprised to find that this guy was not only strong in combat and good-looking, but also very clear-headed. He could always remember what she said immediately, and he could apply what he learned to other situations. He could also raise some questions that she had never thought of before. Some of these questions even required her to consult her father before she could give the correct answer.

After a week, the two had become quite familiar with each other. At the same time, Gu You had gained a more detailed understanding of the current situation of the Blood God Legion.

The Blood God Legion, though called a legion, actually only has two divisions. One is named the Blood Division, meaning "fight to the death" or "never retreat," and is primarily responsible for direct combat against abyssal creatures. The commander of the Blood Division is Xu Weitao.

The other division is the Divine Division, which is a special forces division. It includes mecha combat regiments, regiments that specialize in controlling heavy weapons for defense, and various auxiliary combat units.

Although the entire legion only has two divisions, each division has five regiments, making it a sort of independent division. While Gu You saw very few people, the Blood God Legion, including combat and logistical personnel, actually numbered as many as 25,000. Not as many as a standard legion, but all were elite among elites.

Normally, a large legion like the Northern Legion would have at least three corps, totaling around 100,000 men. The fact that the Blood God Legion could form a legion with just over 25,000 men demonstrates its importance and combat capability.

Long Yuxue once proudly told Gu You that if the Blood God Legion were to be deployed, it could absolutely crush any legion in the Federation at present.

The harsh environment and extensive combat here have made this legion truly like a blood god, with extremely formidable combat power.

Gu You's Special Operations Division, while subordinate to the Divine Master, is not part of the Divine Master's five regiments but reports directly to the command headquarters. They operate in conjunction with the Legion's laboratory, often undertaking missions that combat units cannot accomplish. This makes them significantly more dangerous, thus those who can enter the Special Operations Division are the elite of the elite.

"You basically know everything about the Abyss Clan. Now you need to experience it in actual combat. During the special training, I will take you to observe the combat methods of the combat units. You need to integrate as soon as possible. Although we are special operations personnel, you will eventually join the combat units. Familiarizing yourself with the combat methods of the combat units as early as possible will benefit your future advancement," Long Yuxue said to Gu You.

"Okay. When shall we go?" Gu You asked eagerly.

Long Yuxue said, "Tomorrow then. By the way, how's your forging room coming along? Don't disappoint me, I've staked everything on you."

As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect," and for a blacksmith, being unable to practice due to military service would undoubtedly be a huge loss. However, finding a forging workshop here is not easy. The Blood God Legion is located deep within the Endless Mountains, where all resources are extremely scarce. The legion has only three forging workshops, all used by dedicated blacksmiths, primarily responsible for tasks such as repairing mechs.

Gu You has high requirements for the forging room. For example, he needs the best forging table, various auxiliary equipment, and he brought quite a lot of rare metals with him. He also needs enough space for him to work his skills.

Without a doubt, he, who had no merit, was clearly unable to do these things in the Blood God Legion, and the person who could help him and was most familiar with him was none other than the person in front of him.

Long Yuxue generously used her merit points and connections within the legion to help Gu You set up this forging workshop. However, her condition was not that Gu You would repay her with merit points plus interest in the future; instead, she demanded that she invest in the workshop and hold a 50% stake. Half of the merit points Gu You would earn through forging in the future would belong to her.

Anyone else, with Gu You's stingy nature, would never have agreed. But being new to the place, he was unfamiliar with everything, and Long Yuxue was genuinely trying to help him—and he could tell that she was genuinely trying to help him too…
