The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 933

Chapter 933: She’s Single

It was good that he passed the test . However, Tang Wulin was feeling a little upset that he had revealed his bloodline soul ring abilities too soon . He felt speechless about the situation now, although the feeling had been exhilarating during the battle earlier . Being pressured was actually helpful to his combat experience . He found it satisfying especially after his Golden Dragon Spear pierced through Ba An's body to absorb its special energy .

At that moment, he felt the elevation of his body similar to the situation where he had consumed nutritious food . It had been a long time since he felt this way after his physical quality was elevated . Unfortunately, it was just a simulation . It would be nice to have this kind of creature in the real world . He would then have found a way to continue elevating his body's strength .

He recalled the battle earlier and analyzed the lesson and experience gained as he followed closely behind the major . They passed through the barracks .

Soon, the major brought him back to the place he was at in the beginning . He met the first lieutenant once again .

"Is the test completed? It took longer than usual, didn't it? Has he passed?" the first lieutenant asked smilingly .

The major nodded . "He passed . "

Tang Wulin noticed that they were not addressing each other's military rank during their conversation .

"Which rank did he pass?" the first lieutenant asked out of curiosity .

The major shook his head . "I don't know . We'll have to wait for the higher authorities to decide . It's very high . "

"Very high?" The first lieutenant knew the major very well . Not many people in the entire Blood God Army obtained a good appraisal from her . She could only imagine the kind of shock the major underwent with this extremely good-looking youth .

"Please make arrangements for him to receive his gear . Assign him to the special service temporarily while we await the specific assignment after we carry out an evaluation of him," said the major .

"Sure . Do you wish to show him the barracks first, now that he's a member of the Blood God Army?" the first lieutenant asked smilingly .

The major hesitated for a moment . At the end, she relented . "Sure . I'll wait for him outside . Please help to register him . "

The major turned around and walked outside upon saying that . She had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped and turned around to address Tang Wulin, "My name is Long Yuxue . " As soon as she said that, she strode out of the room .

Long Yuxue sounded like a name with a story .

"Do you think her name sounds pleasant?" the first lieutenant asked with a smile on her face .

"Pleasant indeed!"

The first lieutenant spoke in jest, "She's still single . You need to put in more effort . "

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment . He could not help laughing . "Are you trying to matchmake us?"

The first lieutenant sighed . "I've no choice . What can I do when I only have a daughter?"

Daughter? Tang Wulin was startled . The major Long Yuxue seemed different now, quite unlike the person he met earlier .

"She looks like her father . I bet you sensed that our relationship earlier was a little odd . It's actually quite normal . We're at the barracks, so we address each other by our military ranks during work hours . On the other hand, she's my daughter naturally during the break times . Alright, we shall register you now . Your personal particulars have already been obtained from the recommendation letter and keyed into the system . Tang Wulin from Shrek Academy, an inner court student . Is that correct?"

"Yes . " Tang Wulin nodded .

The first lieutenant spoke, "Age . Twenty-one years? What's your soul power cultivation base? I need your latest data . "

"About rank-58 . It has been some time since I've tested mine," Tang Wulin spoke frankly .

The first lieutenant praised him . "You're truly worthy of your title as a student of Shrek Academy . How about your battle armor? What is its name?"

Tang Wulin answered, "Dragon Moon . "

"Two-word battle armor?" The first lieutenant's body shuddered a little . She now understood her daughter's marked attention toward this youth . Again, she reminded Tang Wulin that her daughter was single because of Long Yuxue's interest in him . Long Yuxue had told Tang Wulin her name! The first lieutenant had never witnessed her daughter behaving in such a way before .

"Hmm . " Tang Wulin nodded .

After the registration, the first lieutenant procured a few sets of military uniforms and passed them to Tang Wulin . She gave him two sets of standard uniforms and two sets of thick winter uniforms . That was all he received .

"Ma'am, will I be given any weapons?" Tang Wulin asked out of curiosity .

The first lieutenant shook her head . "No . No one is allowed to reap without sowing in the Blood God Army . You'll need to work hard to gain powerful weapons and a higher military rank . Only your military merit can be used to exchange for the things you need here . "

Military merit? By carrying out missions? During peacetime, it was not that easy to accumulate military merit . Tang Wulin did not think that the Holy Spirit Cult's group of evil soul masters would stay in a place with such poor living conditions .

"You'll find out later . Go, she's waiting for you outside," said the first lieutenant with a knowing smile .

Tang Wulin smiled . "Ma'am, I have a girlfriend . "

The first lieutenant was stunned for a moment before she shrugged . "It's alright . Anything is possible before marriage . "

Tang Wulin did not speak anymore . He feebly thumped his right fist against his chest which was the Blood God Army's military salute . He then kept the uniforms in his storage ring before he walked out .

Long Yuxue continued to wait outside . Her expression was still as cold as before . She called out when she saw Tang Wulin . "Follow me . I'll take you to your quarters and give you a briefing on the barracks . "

The weather outside was still cold, but it hardly affected Tang Wulin .

"You must first understand the restricted locations . The building over there is the army's command post, so one doesn't enter the place without an impending mission unless one is summoned by the superior . There's also the building over there . That's the weapon's warehouse, another restricted zone . Hence, you're not allowed to enter at will . This is the barracks and that's the training area over there . Normally, it's also the location with the most people . It's equipped with all sorts of the Federation's most advanced training devices . You're allowed to head over there and use it anytime . However, you must be dressed in your military uniform that has your identity tag . Without your military uniform, it's difficult to go anywhere . "

Long Yuxue explained the situation in the barracks to Tang Wulin in detail .

"Ma'am, I have a question . Am I allowed to leave the barracks at will?" Tang Wulin asked .

Long Yuxue stopped walking . "Leave the barracks? Why do you want to do that?"

Tang Wulin said, "Oh, nothing . Just go for a walk . "

Long Yuxue spoke indifferently, "There's no leave of absence for you before you achieve the rank of a major . A major's rank or above will entitle you to a day's leave per week to go outside, but you must hand in all your military hardware before you go out, including your mecha . You can only rely on your own ability while you're outside . "

"Oh . "

Tang Wulin was not overly concerned about this . Although it was a little difficult to reach the Fire Basin in a day without using his martial soul or battle armor, it was not impossible . He would just fly there .

However, it might take a while before he could be a major!

According to his knowledge of the army, he should be a third-class private when he enrolled in the army . He would then be promoted to a second-class private, and finally to a first-class private under a soldier's ranking . They were all considered a private's rank .

Thereafter, it would be second lieutenant, first lieutenant, captain, and then major .

In other words, he was five to six ranks away from this person before him .

"Promotions within the military are quite easy during the early stage . I don't think it's difficult for you judging by your combat ability . However, you must first undergo special training for a month . This is required for all the new recruits . The training lasts for a month which gives you time to learn about the Blood God Army as well as what you should do as a member of the Blood God Army . "

Tang Wulin could not help asking, "Ma'am, may I ask how long it took you to be promoted to a major?"

Long Yuxue raised her brows ever so slightly . "Don't reach for what is beyond your grasp . I think you can do it faster than me, but remember not to be taken in by greed . The Blood God Army sacrificed the most in this respect over the years . The special training that follows a month later will cover such matters . "

"I understand . " Four years… he could not leave Gu Yuena in the Fire Basin for four years . Tang Wulin was even more depressed that his soul communicator had lost its signal at present . In other words, there was utterly no way he could get in touch with Gu Yuena right now .

"Are you in a rush to leave?" Long Yuxue could tell from the change in Tang Wulin's expression .

Tang Wulin said, "Not really . I hope to improve myself as soon as I can . " Of course, he would not mention that he had a girlfriend waiting outside since this would violate the rules of the army .

Long Yuxue brought Tang Wulin to a barrack . The barrack was extremely clean on the inside with metallic finishings all over . However, he noticed that the temperature rose as soon as he entered the inner area of the barrack . It felt warm and comfortable for him .

"This is your room . Everyone here is given a single room, and it'll be in accordance with your rank . You're a new recruit which is the lowest rank . When you're promoted to a lieutenant, there'll be adjustments later . The same goes for the promotion to a major . There will be an evaluation of your test later today . So, you'll begin your special training for new recruits tomorrow . Take a rest first . "
