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

In normal circumstances, generals generally do not respond to a military salute, unless they are of a higher rank.

"Sir, may I ask which department you are from, and what happened?" Before figuring out Gu You's true identity, the colonel could only address him by the rank insignia on his shoulder.

"I am Blood God Nine, the new Blood God of the Blood God Camp. Just now, Commander Ma of the Iron Blood Gang questioned my identity, so we started fighting. This is my Blood God Ring; you can examine it," Gu You said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he raised his left hand, revealing the Blood God Ring on his wrist.

Upon hearing him say that he was Xue Jiu, the colonel from the military law department couldn't help but gape.

Ma Shan's face was rather grim, while Long Yuxue, standing not far away, had an extremely complicated expression in her eyes.

After inspecting Gu You's Blood God Ring, the military law officer respectfully returned it to him, saluting again, "Thank you for your cooperation, sir."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Ma Shan. "Commander Ma, hello."

Ma Shan stared in disbelief. "No way? He really... really is?"

The colonel in the military law department had a grim expression. "Identity verified. The officer in charge is the newly appointed Xue Jiu, who just completed his commissioning ceremony this morning."

Ma Shan swallowed hard, suddenly realizing that something seemed amiss.

Just then, Gu You strode over. "Actually, it's nothing much. Commander Ma and I were just arguing out of pride, neither of us willing to admit the other's strength. We sparred for a bit, and it got a bit too loud, causing unnecessary trouble. Can we just let this go? Next time we spar, we'll definitely go to the combat room. We'll fix everything ourselves, how about that?"

The military law colonel glanced at Ma Shan, who was somewhat speechless, and then at Gu You, whose face was gentle. He immediately understood what was going on. He coughed and said, "Alright, but, sirs, this is a one-time exception. After all, causing such a commotion is difficult for us to handle."

This major general is quite good.

After saying this, he saluted Gu You and Ma Shan, and left with the military law officers.

Gu You sighed softly, "Commander Ma, can you acknowledge my identity now?"

Ma Shan swallowed hard, rubbing his bald head. "What's all this about! But...you really are Xue Jiu?"

Gu You chuckled, "How about we go to the combat room and exchange a few blows?"

Ma Shan waved his hand, "No need. If the military law department says it's you, then it must be. I was rash. I acted improperly, and I apologize."

Gu You loosened his grip on the ears. "A child who can admit their mistakes and correct them is a good child. If it were any other major general, you would be finished this time. Commander Ma, please compensate me for the damaged facilities and the damaged ore. Nothing else is needed."

"No problem, leave it to me." Ma Shan was a straightforward person and agreed immediately. At the same time, he was secretly grateful. The Blood God Legion's military regulations were very strict. Although he was arrogant, he knew the consequences of violating the military regulations. He was a senior colonel, while Gu Ding was a major general. He had just committed insubordination without reason or sufficient evidence. He was in the wrong and had no legal grounds. If Gu You persisted, he would be in big trouble.

The simplest punishment is demotion or a major demerit.

"I'll get someone to fix it for you right away." After saying that, Ma Shan hurriedly left, looking rather disheveled. After all, he didn't look very presentable.

Watching Ma Shan leave, Gu You couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Sure enough, such a rapid advancement wasn't necessarily a good thing!

"You really became Blood Ninth?" A melodious voice, sounding somewhat incredulous, came from beside me.

Gu You turned to look at Long Yuxue and smiled, "Yes! I just finished defeating a Title Douluo."

Long Yuxue stared at him blankly.

When he first arrived, I was his instructor, teaching him everything about the Legion and leading him into the Abyss Passage to fight against the Abyss creatures.

In just a few months, only a few months, he had become his superior. Moreover, although a lieutenant colonel and a major general may seem only a few ranks apart, it was an insurmountable gap!

Not long ago, he would call her "commander" repeatedly, but now she was the one calling him "commander." The difference was something she couldn't quite adjust to all at once.

Don't overthink it, I'm still the same person I always was.

Long Yuxue realized what was happening, but didn't say anything; however, her eyes changed slightly.

He returned shortly afterward with a group of Ironblood soldiers. Repairing the wall was a piece of cake. In less than an hour, everything was back to normal.

Then they brought some rare metals to Guyou as compensation.

Ma Shan's attitude showed a clear contrast: "General, I'm sorry for today, I was too reckless."

"Commander Ma, you are the backbone of the legion. I will have to learn from you more in the future."

"That's right, that's right, General. If you ever need our regiment for anything in the future, we will definitely do our best." After saying that, Ma Shan still patted his bald head.

Both of them were laughing, but the meaning behind their smiles was quite different.

"Commander Ma, I heard from Yuxue that you need the metal for a three-word battle armor. Let's talk about it first and see what kind you need, then I'll help you plan it out."

"Okay, I almost forgot about the important matter."

Long Yuxue looked at the two men walking arm in arm and was speechless. They were fighting fiercely just a moment ago, but now they were as good as one. The world of men is really strange!

After talking with Ma Shan, Gu You understood his requirements. Ma Shan's requirements were actually quite simple: he wanted a pure power boost, as this kind of battle armor was purely physical. In reality, once the power reached a certain level, there would be a qualitative breakthrough.

After a brief planning process, Gu You gave Ma Shan some suggestions. In his original design, he suggested that the metal be forged using pure soul steel and that it be repeatedly melted and forged.

The repeated melting and forging here refers to the process of combining and purifying meteorite steel, integrating five or six pieces of meteorite steel into one piece, and compressing it.

The materials were definitely provided by Ma Shan himself. As the leader of the Iron Blood Regiment, Ma Shan had accumulated a great deal of merit, so buying these metals was nothing to him.

As for the processing fee, Gu You didn't ask for more than 150,000 military merits.

Although he had expected it, these numbers still gave Ma Shan a big shock. But considering that the soul-forged metal for the three-word battle armor was something that money couldn't buy outside, he could only grit his teeth.

Besides, the person in front of him is a major general. There aren't many opportunities for a major general to work for him.

……

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Gu You's breathing was even, and he had entered a wondrous state. (End of Chapter)
