Douluo Dragon King: Nine-Colored Lotus, Incinerating All Things

Lin Jin then went berserk.

Midway through, he even hesitated to push directly to the bottom because the abyssal creatures in the C-level passage were too weak.

So he turned around and left the C-level passage without resting for a moment, and then rushed back into the B-level passage.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! They're all my supplies!"

Chapter 145 The Stubborn Cao Dezhi, Lin Jin's Ambition

"How is the situation?"

Cao Dezhi flashed to Zhang Huanyun's side.

Lin Jin's talent was truly dazzling, so they all paid close attention to his performance when he first entered the abyss passage.

Even so, it wouldn't warrant them humbling themselves to follow Lin Jin and observe.

However, the soldiers' performance can also be seen through the merit records automatically kept by the Blood God Ring worn by every soldier in the Blood God Legion.

Given their status, they could easily access the records of each soldier's accumulated merits.

"See for yourself."

Zhang Huanyun glanced at Cao Dezhi, then stepped aside to make way.

The following message immediately appeared on the screen:

Name: Lin Jin

Prior to enlistment: Blacksmiths' Association

Level: 63

Battle Armor: Nine Luminaries

Rank: Private First Class (Special Operations) (Promotion possible)

Merit Accumulation: 9363

How long has he been inside?

Cao Dezhi raised an eyebrow, somewhat alarmed.

Merit is not easy to obtain in the Blood God Legion.

The lowest level consists of demonic bats that live in groups, and killing one only earns 1 merit point.

The more advanced, but still cannon fodder, Devouring Lizard costs 10 merit points.

And now, only a short time has passed since Lin Jin and the others set off for the front line, and Lin Jin has already accumulated more than 9,000 merit points!

This is a number that even if the abyssal tide comes, ninety percent of the Blood God Legion warriors could not achieve in a single battle.

The abyss tides haven't come for many years now, and Lin Jin has accumulated so much just by hunting in the abyss passages.

How is this possible?

"Heh, shocked, aren't you?"

"I was shocked too."

Zhang Huanyun chuckled, and then answered Cao Dezhi:

"Judging from the information transmitted by the Blood God Ring, he has only been inside for a little over three hours."

Accumulated over 9,000 merit points in just over three hours?

How is that possible?

If merit points are so easy to obtain, wouldn't Lin Jin be able to reach the rank of general in just one month?

Cao Dezhi was even more shocked.

"When this kid first went there, he was quite cautious, only entering a peripheral C-level passage."

"Later, it seemed that they had figured out the strength of the abyssal creatures, so they turned back and re-entered a B-level passage."

"Yes, we've now moved to the B-level passage."

Zhang Huanyun gestured with her lips, indicating to Cao Dezhi to look at the red dot indicating the location of the Blood God Ring.

Cao Dezhi stared at the red dot frozen in a Class B corridor on the screen, his lips slightly parted, and a flicker of emotion finally appeared in his otherwise ruthless eyes.

He seemed to understand why Liehuo Xingjiao insisted on leaving with Lin Jin.

Perhaps it wasn't just because the other party was nearing the end of their lifespan, nor was it solely due to the advantage Lin Jin possessed over his martial soul.

Instead, they truly felt Lin Jin's special qualities.

Could Lin Jin really be compared to the one who ascended ten thousand years ago?

The image of Lingbing Douluo appeared in Cao Dezhi's mind.

But then he shook his head, his brows furrowed.

What's the use of being outstanding?

The realm of gods has vanished.

Even someone as brilliant as Yun Ming is now struggling in vain, only able to watch his lifespan draw ever closer.

At this time.

Snapped!

Zhang Huanyun stood up, patted Cao Dezhi on the shoulder, and said meaningfully:

"Old Cao, we've worked together for many years, guarding this abyss passage, and we've all done our best for the Douluo Continent and for all of humanity."

"Therefore, let's not call each other brothers, it's close enough."

"Therefore, I did not interfere too much with your decision this time."

"As your brother, I should remind you."

“'Excessive hardship' is not suitable for everyone.”

“I can see that you want to recruit Lin Jin into the Tang Clan. Judging from what you said before, it may be related to something he took from your Tang Clan.”

“I won’t stop you. After all, everyone should be ‘free’ and have the right to make their own choices.”

"If you can do that, I can only congratulate your Tang Clan on gaining another prodigy."

"But sometimes, if you go too far, it might backfire."

Cao Dezhi was stunned upon hearing this.

At this moment, Zhang Huanyun patted him on the shoulder again and laughed:

"Brother, I just said it casually, and you just listened casually."

"You stay here and keep an eye on things. I need to go to the front lines. This kid is killing too fiercely; I'm afraid he'll anger those lords."

"If such a genius dies on his first visit to the abyss passage, that would be a real disaster."

After saying that, Zhang Huanyun vanished in a flash.

Cao Dezhi then came to his senses and looked at the still-rising number of merits, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

He also realized that he seemed to have overplayed his hand.

The merit requirement for promotion to private first class is only 500 points.

Even a sergeant only needs 10,000 accumulated merit points to be promoted.

The second lieutenant has 20,000 accumulated merit points.

Given Lin Jin's current rate of accumulating merit, if things go smoothly after his first battle entering the abyss passage, wouldn't he already be able to be promoted to lieutenant?

What's the point of demoting Lin Jin, who could have been promoted directly to second lieutenant or even first lieutenant, to private first class?

but……

There's no turning back now that things have come to this.

A general is even less likely to easily retract a decision that has already been made.

"Let me see how far you can go."

Cao Dezhi murmured to himself.

He still firmly believed that the higher Lin Jin climbed, the more he would understand the greatness of the Tang Sect.

At that time, Lin Jin would definitely join the Tang Sect willingly.

……

The merits on the Blood God Ring on his wrist continued to accumulate.

But Lin Jin didn't pay any attention to it at all.

He was now in a killing frenzy.

Wherever the seven-colored lotus burned, the abyssal creatures that touched it were instantly refined and turned into his resources.

The various "attributes" of "lotus light" continuously merged into his body, greatly enhancing his abilities.

However, since his physical fitness was already at its peak, any further improvement was relatively less noticeable.

However, his soul power foundation has increased considerably.

This allowed him, who had just recently advanced to level 63, to complete about a quarter of the journey to level 64.

In other words, in just a few hours, his progress had caught up with the cultivation progress of a normal Soul Master over several months, or even over the previous year.

The higher the level of soul power, the more difficult it becomes.

It's not just about increasing the quantity required, but also about improving the quality of soul power.

Especially for someone like Lin Jin, who condensed his soul core early on and whose soul power was already solidified, the difficulty of improvement was even greater.

and so……

Faced with such an opportunity, no normal Soul Master could resist the urge to kill.

Despite the killing, Lin Jin remained rational.
