Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

The Sand Demon Worm, a ferocious and harmful soul beast that can be found everywhere in the western desert, is generally not too old. No one expected that it would evolve like this after breaking through 100,000 years.

Similarly, it was this realization that sparked Xu Yuan's interest in the Sand Demon Worm's juices and its devouring mechanism.

Perhaps 100,000 years is not enough, but what if we evolve once or twice more?

Although there are no readily available Sand Demon Worms that have evolved multiple times, current Soul Guidance Technology can extract their juices, study their components, and artificially explore the theoretical evolutionary state of their juices to create even stronger Devouring Juices.

"Are you in such a hurry to encounter those things in reality?" Long Yuxue asked in surprise, looking at Xu Yuan's eager expression.

This was the first time she had ever seen such new recruits.

Generally speaking, after witnessing the terror of abyssal creatures during simulations, new recruits are not particularly eager to fight them. The legion's arrangement for them is to start from the basics, learning about abyssal creatures, understanding their weaknesses, and gradually mastering the many soul-guided weapons developed in the military camp specifically to deal with abyssal creatures before attempting to venture into the abyss.

However, today Xu Yuan took the initiative to suggest that he wanted to go to the real abyss passage.

I had diarrhea today, spending more than ten minutes out of every hour in the bathroom, so I'm updating a bit late. I'm feeling much better now and will continue updating in a bit; I won't go to sleep until I've updated at least five nights.

"To enter the real abyss passage, there are many tests to pass. Even if you are a researcher and your research topic requires direct contact with abyssal creatures, you still need to go through these procedures," Long Yuxue said.

There are rank restrictions for entering the passage.

For most new recruits, the real barrier to entering the passageway is their military rank, not these procedures.

However, Xu Yuan seems to be qualified for the military rank directly, but the formal procedures have not yet begun.

"By the way, what is your research topic?"

Long Yuxue suddenly became curious. What exactly was such a powerful Soul Master doing here as a researcher?

"My research topic?" Xu Yuan looked at Long Yuxue and said directly without hiding anything, "Researching the technology to truly devour the energy of the abyss."

This is not something worth hiding.

Long Yuxue opened her mouth, forming an "o" shape.

This project

It's not that this isn't important, but rather that it's extremely important—so important that there hasn't been any breakthrough in the past six thousand years.

Although Long Yuxue knew that Xu Yuan was very strong, and his performance in the assessment was the strongest and most monstrous recruit in the Blood God Legion's records, she still did not believe that Xu Yuan could succeed.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Could it be that Xu Yuan is even more talented in research than in cultivation and combat?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

At this moment, Long Yuxue also realized Xu Yuan's age.

She looked at Xu Yuan with surprise and suspicion.

very young.

Definitely no older than twenty.

Soul Power Level

As she carefully sensed Xu Yuan's soul power fluctuations, Long Yuxue became even more astonished and uncertain.

The volatility is high, but why does it not feel that high?

It's not that Xu Yuan's soul power level is low, but rather that compared to the strength he unleashed, Xu Yuan's true soul power level is relatively low.

"What level is your soul power?" Long Yuxue couldn't help but ask.

What she perceived was ultimately only a rough estimate.

“Level 65,” Xu Yuan said.

Long Yuxue looked amazed.

Level sixty-five!

Yet he was able to kill Baan, who was comparable to a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level!

In particular, Xu Yuan didn't seem to use his battle armor!

"It's hard to imagine how strong you would be if you were to fuse with battle armor."

Long Yuxue did not doubt whether Xu Yuan was a Battle Armor Master.

If such a genius isn't a Battle Armor Master, then Long Yuxue's worldview has been completely overturned.

Xu Yuan smiled but did not answer.

Fusion Battle Armor?

Having fused with the battle armor, unless Emperor Ba himself descends, he can easily annihilate Ba An, who was at the same level as before, without needing the dream space.

Long Yuxue sighed for a while, then remembered her duties and hurriedly led Xu Yuan back to the middle-aged female officer's office before leaving in a hurry.

The middle-aged female officer looked surprised.

"I didn't expect your results would require a meeting to decide. Young man, you're very good." She no longer assumed that Xu Yuan's choice of the alloy spear was due to his pride.

"Just lucky, just lucky," Xu Yuan said modestly.

"There's no room for luck in our assessments," the middle-aged female officer shook her head.

She was very familiar with the performance evaluation system here.

After all, she was the one who would normally be responsible for the assessment.

Even if you are really lucky, the examiner will help you suppress the luck factor, which is a human balancing mechanism.

"I'll arrange a dormitory for you first."

Instead of dwelling on Xu Yuan's assessment, the middle-aged female officer got down to business, typing away on the keyboard to quickly and successfully enter Xu Yuan's information, and then assigned him a dormitory.

Solo.

After receiving the key, Xu Yuan found his dormitory with the help of the female officer.

After tidying up, it was time for lunch.

"Long Yuxue is really unreliable. It's been an hour and she still hasn't gotten it done for me."

Xu Yuan had no choice but to go find her.

"What are you doing in my office? I've been looking for you for ages." Long Yuxue pushed open the office door and was startled to see Xu Yuan, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, it's time to eat. I haven't earned any merit yet."

"Oh, I was in a rush to give a report and forgot to introduce you. Let me take you to eat," Long Yuxue said apologetically, slapping her forehead.

"By the way, you don't need to call me 'sir' anymore. Although your rank hasn't been finalized yet, it's almost certain that it won't be lower than mine. My name is Long Yuxue, so you can just call me by my name from now on."

"As for merits, that will have to wait until your specific assessment results are released. Until then, you can only eat and live according to the rules of our military camp."

"The rules of the military camp?" Xu Yuan looked at Long Yuxue with a puzzled expression.

A smile appeared in Long Yuxue's eyes as she explained the rules of the military camp to Xu Yuan.

"Our Blood God Legion only values ​​strength and merit. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing. If you want merit, you have to make contributions and fight against abyssal creatures. Oh, abyssal creatures are the things you encounter during the assessment. In addition, you can earn merit by completing various tasks in the military camp."

In the initial stages of joining the army, new recruits have no merit points. To get food, weapons, or even a better training room, they must borrow merit points from others through a loan process.

Xu Yuan understood.

He had just remembered that there was such a thing.

Do you offer loan services here?

"Of course, how much do you want to borrow?" Long Yuxue smiled.

What is the interest rate?

"Not much, ten percent a month."

Xu Yuan's lips twitched.

so tall?

Isn’t that much?

"My interest rate is relatively low. After all, how can one progress quickly in the military without any pressure? At the same time, veterans all have a great need for merit and are trying their best to improve their rank, seize the time to train, and arm themselves in order to avoid being killed in the battle against the abyssal creatures."

To put it bluntly, the starting point is that veterans don't want to die, so they need to work harder to become stronger. Therefore, they will squeeze every last drop of merit from any source, including the exploitation of new recruits.

And all of this was tacitly permitted in the military camp.

Because new recruits will not be involved in fighting against abyssal creatures in their first year here.

A year is enough time to adapt to everything here, and even make significant progress under the pressure of the need for merit.

Of course, such exploitation is only effective for new recruits in the initial stage. After that, the new recruits will pass the stage where this so-called pressure can have a significant effect, and the need for resources will become the top priority. Therefore, they need to frantically earn merit points to arm themselves.

"Shouldn't our military camp accept free trade?" Xu Yuan asked.

Long Yuxue nodded.

"Yes, but the transactions involving merit points must meet certain standards, otherwise the higher-ups will investigate."
