Tang Wulin estimated that the elevation here was at least six kilometers . It was not a place suitable for humans to live in . Without a doubt, this was the destination of his current journey . This was the place where he would really be joining the army .
The Amorous Douluo had actually found the perfect place for him!
In any case, he had made it .
When he thought about this, Tang Wulin stretched his limbs and then quickly ran to the barracks .
He had barely run a few steps when an alarming sight greeted him, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks . About twenty meters before him, four figures jumped out of the snow without any warning . Four clearly unconventional beam assault rifles were pointed at him .
The four figures wore thick and heavy white clothes, and their rifles were steadily aimed at him . With Tang Wulin's cultivation base, he could even sense danger from the four of them .
He immediately raised his hands, "Don't get the wrong idea . I'm here to enlist and report for duty . "
Among the four white-clothed soldiers, one of them lowered his rifle while the other three still had theirs pointed at him .
The soldier walked to Tang Wulin's side and said nothing . He patted his entire body down . When he did not discover any weapons, he removed his helmet .
"Recommendation letter . "
Tang Wulin hastily produced the Amorous Douluo's letter from his storage ring and passed it to him . It was a piece of silvery-white metal . A large snow-white bird image was branded onto the surface of the metal . The big bird looked handsome and slightly resembled an eagle . However, the ratio of its body was not exactly like an eagle, as it was larger and quite majestic .
Tang Wulin knew that this was a soul beast known as a Snow Condor . It was said that it was the guardian deity of the snowy mountain . Even so, they were extremely few in number . He had only seen them during his classes in Shrek Academy . This image seemed to be the emblem of the army before him .
Tang Wulin honestly did not know much regarding armies . His objective for coming here was very simple and that was to blend in . He would then rely on his own abilities and slowly take charge of this place .
The name of this army was the Blood God Army . Indeed, it was the Blood God and not the Snow God . Although the pronunciations were the same in Mandarin, the meanings they represented were starkly different .
This army was not even listed among the Federation's military . They were something unique, and they were the most powerful army . They guarded a secret boundary on the continent that was known by only a select few .
Those who were qualified to enlist here were true elites in every sense of the word . Similarly, those who had the qualifications to recommend soldiers to this place only came from a few places .
Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the Battle God Hall, the Spirit Pagoda, and some ancient and well-established soul master clans .
There were no weaklings here because the meek could not possibly survive here . The duration of military service here was also much longer than other armies, as the recruits had to serve for at least five years . In any case, most of the recruits who came here stayed on for more than a decade at a time .
After the soldier verified Tang Wulin's recommendation letter, he suddenly stood at attention and saluted him . The salute was different from that of normal federal soldiers . He made a fist with his right hand and hammered it forcefully into his chest .
Tang Wulin understood how to observe the customs of the place . He imitated him and struck his own chest as well . However, he was grabbed by the soldier .
"You're not qualified yet . Come with me . " As he spoke, the soldier was already walking toward the faraway barracks in great strides .
As expected, they were unorthodox . Tang Wulin was slightly shaken, but he still followed him hastily . The other three soldiers returned to their place under the snow . The surface of the snow above them quickly flattened, as if they were never there .
The soldier brought Tang Wulin to the barracks . The snow around the barracks had been swept away . He could finally step on the hard, solid ground and no longer had to trudge through the thick snow .
The soldier brushed away the snow that had accumulated on him, then quickly made his way into the barracks .
Once they entered the barracks, the atmosphere changed . Everything here seemed orderly . Other than the gleaming white snow all around them, it did not appear very different from a normal barracks . However, Tang Wulin noticed that he could hardly see any people here, not even any patrolling soldiers .
Tang Wulin did not ask about this either . His opinion was that to understand a place, it was better for him to observe and listen, for nothing good would come from saying too much . Moreover, from the tone of the soldier who brought him here, the soldiers here must have been extremely proud of themselves, maybe even somewhat isolationist . He could clearly tell that he should not speak out of turn, let them see his strength firsthand and blend in with this community as soon as possible .
He wondered if his companions were having such peculiar experiences in the other armies as well .
The soldier brought Tang Wulin to a building and pressed on the wall with his palm . A beam of light scanned his body and the metal door before him slid open .
"Follow me!"
Tang Wulin went with him into the building . Immediately, a gust of warm air blew at them . It was as if his limbs were ironed over . The comfort he felt was indescribable . Even the oxygen content in the air seemed to have increased .
Tang Wulin heaved a long, satisfied sigh .
The soldier turned to glance at him . Then, he removed his helmet .
Tang Wulin immediately felt his field of vision brighten . To his surprise, it was a lady with long brown hair . She looked to be around twenty-six years of age . She was very tall and wore a thick military uniform . That was why Tang Wulin was unable to determine her gender before this . When he saw that the soldier was actually female, he could not help but be stunned .
The female soldier's expression was ice cold . "What are you spacing out for? Come with me . Let me remind you, from now on, you must start preparing yourself . As for whether you'll be able to stay here, it'll be decided in the next three days . "
"Thank you . " Tang Wulin nodded .
The female soldier glanced at his unlined garment . "Arrogance is always a sure way to one's death . " After she had said this, she immediately turned and walked inside a room .
Tang Wulin could not help but find this funny . He knew that she must have thought that he intended to show off by wearing such thin garments . However, in truth, although he was not at the level where the cold or heat did not affect him, this low temperature truly did not bother him much . Also, with the stimulus from the lower external temperature, his blood essence vortex would swirl faster . It was equivalent to his blood essence cultivating itself .
He followed her inside . Tang Wulin's expression changed soon after . There were all kinds of equipment around them, many of which he did not recognize . Even so, he still felt at ease here .
They went through a corridor, and the female soldier led him into another room . Tang Wulin finally saw another person in that room .
It was a second female soldier who looked to be in her forties . On her shoulders were the insignia of a bar and two stars, that of a first lieutenant .
"First lieutenant, this is a new recruit . Arrange an assessment for him . " The female soldier's expression was as frigid as ever .
"Yes, Major," the middle-aged female officer in her forties stood up immediately, to Tang Wulin's surprise . She saluted the young lady officer in a chest-hammering manner .
Major? The person who brought him in here was no ordinary soldier . She was a major?
Tang Wulin was somewhat familiar with military ranks . However, this lady was still so young, and she was already a major . The first lieutenant was not so youthful anymore .
With a nod to the first lieutenant, the young female officer turned around and left them .
Tang Wulin turned to watch her walk away . He was immediately even more curious about this place .
"Little guy, don't be shocked . That's just how Major Xing Luo acts when she's executing missions . Conscientious and meticulous . There's also no need for you to be shocked about our ranks . In the Blood God Army, only your strength and ability matter, not your age . Besides, I'm nonmilitary personnel . I'm here with my husband as a military dependent . If you can pass the assessment, you'll know the rules here in the future . "
