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

Page 362

According to the rules of the Blood God Legion, every Soul Master who comes here, even those who are Flying Soul Masters, must walk this path on foot. Only those with the perseverance and conviction to walk this path can endure life in the Blood God Legion and truly shoulder its mission.

Since it's a rule, Xu Yuan doesn't need to break it.

The light faded, revealing Xu Yuan's true form.

He was dressed casually, without wearing any heavy clothes.

His vital energy was like a furnace, protecting him from the bitter cold of the endless mountains.

three days later.

Xu Yuan arrived at his destination.

Upon reaching the final snow-capped mountain, the other side of the mountain's summit stretched out into an endless snowfield. The snowfield was dotted with numerous and sizable camps, surrounded by sentry posts. Because they were covered in snow, the materials used to construct these buildings were not discernible.

The moment Xu Yuan reached the summit, the Blood God Legion reacted.

In fact, when Xu Yuan stepped into the Endless Mountains, the Blood God Legion's equipment detected his presence. His boundless blood energy, when not restrained, was like a huge energy source, making it hard to ignore.

During these three days, the Blood God Legion also kept an eye on Xu Yuan.

At this moment, Xu Yuan reached the top of the mountain. In front of him, a seemingly ordinary snowfield was churning with activity. Heads popped out, and four Soul Masters, fully armed and dressed in heavy white clothes, pointed their guns at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan didn't react, raised his hand, and said to the four people, "I'm here to report for duty."

Four soldiers in white stepped forward, checked Xu Yuan, and confirmed that he had no weapons. Then one of the soldiers opened his helmet and uttered three words.

"Letter of recommendation".

Xu Yuan took out the letter of recommendation from his storage soul tool.

This is a letter made of silver-white metal, with a large, snow-white bird branded on it. The bird is very handsome, somewhat like an eagle, but larger and more majestic.

This is the Snow God Eagle, the guardian deity of the snow mountain and the symbol of the Blood God Legion.

After checking Xu Yuan's letter of recommendation, the soldier suddenly stood at attention and gave him a military salute. Unlike normal federal soldiers, the salute here was a powerful strike to the chest with a clenched right fist.

Xu Yuan followed the soldier's example and raised his right hand to pound his chest, making a loud thud.

"follow me."

The soldier turned and strode towards the distant military camp.

Xu Yuan quickly followed.

The other three soldiers retreated back into the snow to carry out their daily tasks.

The soldier led Xu Yuan to the military camp. The snow here had obviously been cleared, finally revealing a bit of hard ground. After shaking off the snow, the two quickly entered the camp.

Inside the military camp, everything was in perfect order. A soldier led Xu Yuan through the camp and brought him to a building. He pressed his palm on the side of the building, and a beam of light swept over him. The metal door in front of Xu Yuan then opened.

"follow me."

The soldier's words were very concise, and his speech and actions were clean and efficient from beginning to end.

Stepping inside the building, a warm current washes over you.

After being in the frigid environment for a long time, being suddenly hit by such a wave of heat made even Xu Yuan feel as if his entire body had been ironed, an indescribable comfort.

The soldier glanced back at Xu Yuan, then took off his helmet, revealing a striking detail.

The soldier turned out to be a woman.

The woman had long brown hair, looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, and was quite tall.

The female soldier's face was icy: "Don't stand there, come with me. Let me remind you, whether you can stay or not depends on your performance from now on."

Xu Yuan knew the rules of the Blood God Legion and guessed the identity of the person in front of him.

He couldn't help but remind the other person.

"Sir, I am a researcher sent by the Spirit Pagoda."

Female soldier Long Yuxue's expression did not change.

Researchers sent by the Spirit Pagoda will, according to procedure, directly participate in substantive research work after passing the assessment, and the personnel involved in the research work of the Blood God Legion will not be of low rank.

It's fair to say that Xu Yuan will likely have a high status as soon as he arrives here.

This is also the result Xu Yuan wanted.

He didn't want to waste too much time on military rank promotion; he needed to quickly gain access to abyssal energy and even have the authority to independently explore abyssal passages.

“I know you’re a researcher, but in the Blood God Legion, everything is based on military merit. With the researcher system, you will indeed start with a higher rank, but if you want to earn the respect of others, you need to have real skills.” Long Yuxue couldn’t quite say whether she liked or disliked researchers; her tone seemed to reflect both.

Continuing deeper, Long Yuxue led Xu Yuan through a passageway and into a room.

Inside the room was still a female soldier, who looked to be in her forties, with one bar and two stars on her shoulder representing the rank of lieutenant.

"Lieutenant, this is the new guy. Arrange an assessment for him," Long Yuxue said.

"Yes, Major." The middle-aged female officer immediately stood up and gave a chest-thumping salute.

Xu Yuan was not surprised at all. He had already guessed the identity of the female soldier and knew that her rank was major.

Long Yuxue nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and walked out of the room.

After Long Yuxue left, the middle-aged female officer observed Xu Yuan and said, "A very young man, not bad!"

The middle-aged female officer was very optimistic about such a young man joining the Blood God Legion.

However, the assessment still cannot be taken lightly.

If you don't meet the requirements, you still won't be able to join the Blood God Legion.

"Within the Blood God Legion, only strength and merit matter. As long as you can make enough contributions and gain enough merit, you can gain enough respect and a rank promotion speed that other armies cannot achieve."

The middle-aged female officer continued, "Young man, no matter where you come from, I must remind you not to be arrogant. Everyone who is recommended here is a prodigy, but less than a third of them will actually stay."

Seeing that Xu Yuan's gaze remained unchanged, she nodded, waved for Xu Yuan to follow, and led him to a place that resembled a warehouse.

"You can choose any weapon. Remember, you can't use your soul power in the place where you will be tested later, so you can only rely on your body and the weapons here. Choose the weapon you are good at."

The middle-aged female officer had been working closely with Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan was dressed casually, which was obviously what he wore when he entered the Endless Mountains.

To be able to enter the military camp in such a state clearly indicates that one has excellent physical condition.

Although she felt that Xu Yuan had a high probability of staying, the middle-aged female officer still gave him the necessary reminders.

Xu Yuan's gaze swept across the scene and he found various weapons and equipment in front of him, many of which were modern soul-guided weapons, including ray guns and soul-guided cannons. He could only recognize about a third of their functions.

Without hesitation, Xu Yuan stepped forward, went to the cold weapon area, and picked out a dark alloy spear.

Xu Yuan knew that although the area where the assessment was conducted could not be used with soul power, it was actually similar to Dragon Valley. Only the soul power could not be used, but the blood and qi could still be mobilized normally, and the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear, which was the blood and qi martial soul, could also be used normally.

Therefore, the choice of weapon doesn't matter much to him.

"You still chose pride. Come with me."

The middle-aged female officer sounded somewhat disappointed, shook her head slightly, and turned to lead Xu Yuan to the assessment location.

She led Xu Yuan to a particularly large building in the center of the camp. The building had a pointed, cone-shaped top and was the tallest building in the camp, about fifty meters high.

Entering from the side, Xu Yuan saw the other soldiers, all neatly dressed in white uniforms with the Snow Eagle emblem on their chests. The lowest-ranking officers on their shoulders were second lieutenants; there were no privates among them.

The middle-aged female military officer led Xu Yuan to the elevator on the side. As the elevator doors opened, Long Yuxue's voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait a moment."

Long Yuxue had already taken off her heavy coat and was wearing a white military uniform. The snow-white uniform was crisp and wrinkle-free, and the gold epaulettes on her shoulders made her look heroic and dashing.

"Major." The middle-aged female officer saluted.

Long Yuxue responded with a military gesture, striking her chest with her right fist.

She was tall and slender, with an extremely beautiful face and well-developed figure. With this blow, a wave of waves surged forth. Xu Yuan, who happened to glance at her from the side, twitched his lips slightly.

"I will be responsible for his evaluation. You can go back now."

"You're personally in charge?"

“I missed his journey after he entered the mountains, so I will personally be in charge of his assessment,” Long Yuxue said.

The middle-aged female officer didn't ask any further questions, gave a military salute, and strode out of the elevator.

The elevator doors closed, and then it began to descend.

A moment later, the elevator doors opened, revealing a metal corridor. Following the corridor inward and turning left, Long Yuxue led Xu Yuan into a room.

The room was very similar to the entrance to the Spirit Ascension Platform in the Spirit Transmission Tower. As a regular customer who frequented the Spirit Ascension Platform, Xu Yuan was quite familiar with it.

His gaze was fixed on the instruments in the room.

Long Yuxue walked to the control panel and began operating it. Her hands moved quickly across the keyboard, and the two glass covers opened slowly.

Have you been to the Ascension Platform?

"I've been there."

Long Yuxue nodded and said, "Your assessment in a little while will be similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform. The task is very simple: protect me inside until the assessment is over."

Upon entering the instrument, Xu Yuan experienced the same sensation as when he entered the Spirit Ascension Platform.
