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

The power that he could only absorb when he was crowned a Title Douluo is now showing signs of shattering due to the birth of Eternity.

Gu You didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but in any case, he was looking forward to the power that the third layer of the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor's seal would bring him.

This period of seclusion also allowed him to further improve his cultivation, raising his soul power to level seventy-nine. He was now just one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo.

"Bang bang!" A knocking sound rang out on the door.

Gu You, who was meditating in the room, stood up, walked forward and opened the door. It was Long Yuxue who came in.

"Sir." Gu You invited her in.

Long Yuxue looked energetic, and she had obviously joined the battle. The Abyss Tide was dangerous, but it was also an opportunity, the best chance to improve her rank and accumulate military merits. Of course, Long Yuxue would not let it go.

"You haven't come back since the Eight Blood Gods took you away that day. What happened? Why didn't you come to participate in the battle? I heard later that it seems that the higher-ups issued an order prohibiting you from participating in the battle?" Long Yuxue asked bluntly.

"Perhaps it's because of my Golden Dragon Spear. The Blood God Camp took it a step further and didn't let me participate in the battle anymore," Gu You said with a helpless expression.

Long Yuxue looked puzzled. "Come on, I'll take you to the operations department. It's time to reward those who have made contributions."

"it is good."

Long Yuxue laughed, "During battles, although the Blood God Ring automatically records the merits we gain from killing abyssal creatures, there are some compensation measures after such a major battle. Simply put, because melee fighters are at the front, ranged attackers can safely deal damage from the back. Therefore, after a major battle, ranged attackers will give melee fighters a certain amount of merit compensation. The legion naturally has a coefficient to add to this. You participated in melee combat, and you performed so well in the first battle, so you definitely deserve extra merits. Moreover, in my opinion, even the merits you've accumulated now are enough for you to be promoted to lieutenant. You're quite lucky, you've only been here a short time! And you've already encountered the abyssal tide, and this tide is particularly easy to deal with, it receded in just seven days."

Following Long Yuxue to the operations department, the soldiers were receiving their merits using their Blood God Rings and undergoing a rank conferment ceremony. Anyone whose merits met the standards could be promoted. After each Abyss Tide War, a large number of soldiers would be promoted in rank.

Gu You followed behind Long Yuxue, queuing up at the back.

The process was quick, with over a dozen high-ranking legion officers in charge of awarding ranks. Seeing the many people ahead of him now sporting gold stars on their shoulders, Gu You couldn't help but feel a mixture of envy and anticipation.

According to Long Yuxue, his rank should be able to be promoted to lieutenant. That would be two stars.

Finally, it was Long Yuxue's turn.

Long Yuxue handed over her Blood God Ring. After being scanned by a special instrument, the senior colonel in front of her smiled and said, "Yuxue, you did a good job this time, you really made your father proud. In this battle, you earned 9,050 merit points. According to the rules, ranged warriors need to have some merit points deducted for melee combat, so 3,050 merit points will be deducted from yours, leaving 6,000 merit points. Adding to your previous accumulation, congratulations, you can be promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel."

Although Long Yuxue had already assessed her situation, she couldn't help but smile. To be promoted to lieutenant colonel before the age of thirty was no easy feat.

Stand at attention and salute. Proceed forward for the conferment of ranks.

After her, it was naturally Gu You's turn. Gu You then handed over his Blood God Ring.

Upon receiving the Blood God Ring, the colonel was initially stunned, then abruptly looked up at Gu You, "You're from the Blood God Camp?"

"They are unofficial members of the Blood God Camp," Gu You replied.

The colonel paused for a moment, then examined his Blood God Ring. "Your Blood God Ring has two types of merit points, the latter being combat merit points. Let me see. The total is 21,000 merit points."

His voice rose noticeably in the final notes.

"You joined the Blood God Camp?" Long Yuxue, who was about to receive her medal, quickly ran back, grabbed Gu You's hand, and looked at the Blood God Ring with thorny roses on his hand with intense envy in her eyes.

Everyone in the Blood God Legion knew very well that the true pillars guarding the Abyss Passage were not them, but the nine Blood Gods of the Blood God Camp. Once they became one of the official Blood Gods, they would immediately be promoted to the rank of Major General. Although this also meant that they would be guarding this place forever, becoming a Blood God was definitely their greatest honor. This would be recorded by the Federation, and their glory would last forever.

Those who are descendants of the Blood God enjoy many privileges within the Federation within three generations. The Blood God himself has privileges no less than those of a member of the Federation Congress, and is an extra-member of the electoral vote in each session of the Congress.

They are the true guardians of the Federation, revered by all.

"Just an unofficial staff member." Gu You smiled.

Yu Xue's expression immediately turned strange. Of course, the Blood God Camp does not only have nine Blood Gods. Some outstanding members of the Blood God Legion may become unofficial members or even prospective Blood Gods, but this at least proves that the first step has been taken.

She had already guessed that Gu You's ability to become an unofficial member of the Blood God Camp was probably related to his magical Golden Dragon Spear. Even so, being able to join the Blood God Camp was a great honor. What's more, he had only been in the Blood God Legion for a few days! Not even a month had passed yet. How could she, who had lived in the Blood God Legion since childhood, not be envious? She even felt a little jealous.

Once Gu You joins the Blood God Camp, it means he will no longer belong to any department of the Blood God Legion, but will be directly under the command of the Blood God Camp. As his direct superior, she will no longer be able to make him do anything.

Long Yuxue couldn't help but recall her father's words. Was this the difference...?

Seeing Long Yuxue looking somewhat dazed, Gu You reminded her, "Sir, you should go and receive your rank."

"Oh." Long Yuxue finally realized what was happening, but the excitement she felt when she was promoted to lieutenant colonel had largely disappeared.

Gu You was also very curious about what level he could advance to with his merits. Long Yuxue's accumulated merits, including this one, should not exceed 20,000, which would be enough to promote her from major to lieutenant colonel. Gu You had more than 20,000 merits, so could he advance one more step?

Seeing Long Yuxue's rank change from two bars and one star to two bars and two stars, Gu You stepped forward with excitement.

He's at least a major, right?

"The Blood God Battalion cannot confer ranks here. Your rank will be decided by the Blood God Battalion. You can leave now." The officer in charge of conferring ranks poured cold water on his plans.

After becoming a member of the Blood God Camp...
