Although it had been a long time since the event, Tang Wulin still could not help feeling gloomy each time someone mentioned it .
His lips cracked into a bitter smile . "The academy is destroyed and we don't even know where the enemy is nor how many people took part in the plan . However, we will rebuild Shrek no matter what . Shrek's glory won't cease in our generation's hands . "
"Hmm, you better put in more effort . I can only provide you with spiritual support as one of the Blood Gods . After all, we can't leave this place . " Blood Nine patted Tang Wulin's shoulder . He was about the same age as Tang Wulin apparently .
Meanwhile, the door of the elevator opened and Blood One walked out .
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment upon seeing Blood One . As compared to the day he met him, this Heartless Douluo now exuded a murderous aura instead .
Tang Wulin was especially sensitive toward other people's auras due to his strong bloodline power . The aura emitted from the person before him made Tang Wulin's bloodline fluctuate violently .
Blood Nine raised his brows ever so slightly as he smiled and spoke, "Big brother, did you just go over there again?"
"Hmm . " Blood One nodded . "They retreated so soon that I'll need to go check on it again to prevent unwanted troubles . They withdrew into a passive defense this time real quick, so I'm not tired . After a few battles, I can see that they were not scheming, it was more like they were petrified . "
Blood Nine was stunned for a moment . "Who were they petrified of?"
Blood One's lips cracked into a faint smile as he pointed to Tang Wulin by his side .
Blood Nine looked toward Tang Wulin in astonishment . "By him? That can't be . "
Blood One smiled and spoke, "I'll elaborate more on that in a while . Wulin, I've already made arrangements for you . I'll be assigning a mission for you next . "
"Yes . " Tang Wulin became inspired at once . He was feeling eager and anxious to go .
Blood One announced, "I'll explain to you in a moment . You must make preparations for battle and adapt yourself . "
"Yes . " Blood Nine spoke in bewilderment, "The tide has ended . What mission will that be?"
Blood One smiled . "Have you forgotten about the Federation's latest technology?"
Blood Nine was immediately enlightened . "So you wish to send him to participate?"
"Hmm . It's safest for him to participate on our side without worrying about revealing anything accidentally . Wulin, head back first . I'll be contacting you via the Blood God Bracelet later . Our side here needs you to make some preliminary preparations for your mission which will commence in three days . "
"Yes . " Tang Wulin did not leave immediately . He looked toward Blood One with slight anticipation . He spoke, "Sir, I went over to the combat unit to exchange my merit points earlier . They said that I need to elevate my military rank in our Blood God Battalion . Can you please…"
Blood One was the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi, so he was considered as one of Tang Wulin's people . Tang Wulin did not hesitate to act or speak boldly .
Blood One smiled and spoke, "How many merit points are there?"
Blood One was stunned, but he could not help smiling and said, "Impressive . You've managed to gain over twenty thousand merit points in just one battle . It seems like you've truly devoured a lot of abyssal energy this time . No wonder you startled those old creatures . I suspect they were back to determine your status, and that's why the abyssal tide ended so soon . Twenty thousand over merit points should be enough to promote you to a captain . However, there's no rush in this . Here's an idea . If you complete this upcoming mission successfully, I'll immediately approve your promotion to a major . You can have a double promotion then .
Tang Wulin's eyes widened at once . Was that even allowed? It was already a surprise for him to be promoted to a captain . If he were promoted to a major, would that not mean that he could visit Gu Yuena at least once a week then? It would be truly remarkable!
"Yes, sir . I'll head back to make preparations . "
Tang Wulin left . Blood Nine looked toward Blood One as Blood One's expression turned solemn .
"What happened, big brother?" Blood Nine asked in puzzlement .
Blood One spoke in a deep voice, "Tang Wulin's appearance may be an opportune moment for us possibly . However, it may also end up as a catastrophe . I can't make a complete assessment of the situation yet . He revealed himself too soon . I've already spoken to the regimental commander that we should consolidate our defense line . The abyssal tide lasted only a short while this time, but I'm worried that the next wave will come sooner . "
…
In the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters .
"The latest technology developed by the Federation will be officially launched soon . Not only are we taking part this time, but we'll also need to get ourselves a good ranking," said Qiangu Dongfeng in a deep voice as he sat on the main seat .
The person sitting on his right was the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo while a middle-aged man sat on his other side . Almost everyone in the scene was a high-ranking official of the Spirit Pagoda .
"The latest technology developed by the Federation is a technology that's beyond its time . It's still in the test phase despite its engineering methodologies which have matured since earlier . Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's headquarters were destroyed and caused great turmoil on the continent . As a result, the Federation has released this latest technology in time for everyone to participate, and it's also a tactic to divert the public's attention . Yaozhu, how're the contestants on your side? Have you found that disciple of yours, yet?"
The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu spoke indifferently, "I've already selected the participants on my side . I've also contacted my disciple . She's very good, and she's going to take part . "
Qiangu Dongfeng nodded satisfactorily . "We're not going to tolerate any mistakes in this matter because it's going to further enhance our influence . We've managed to take a quarter of the seats in the new parliament . So, if we can assert our influence a step further through this competition, it will be extremely helpful to our Spirit Pagoda's next development plan . "
Leng Yaozhu darted him a look, but she did not speak . As the Vice Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, she knew Qiangu Dongfeng far too long and too well . No one else knew but how could she not know his objective . He was an ambitious man . His goal was to make the Spirit Pagoda be the ancient Martial Soul Hall of twenty thousand years ago . With the organization's strength to domineer over the entire Federation, he would be in control of it .
Although she had yet to gather any evidence, she believed that the incident that happened to Shrek Academy was his doing .
…
"The Federation's latest technology? What does that mean? Each big city has its own entries and each big city's Spirit Pagoda is allowed to take part . It's said that the technology is similar to the Spirit Pagoda's spirit ascension platform but somewhat different . The latest technology covers the whole continent such that all soul masters who wish to take part can do so . It'll scan and simulate each soul master's abilities and physical condition to ensure it's fair . This technology will be extremely helpful in elevating a soul master's actual combat abilities, especially a mecha master . "
"That's right . Similar devices are owned by the big organizations in the past and those devices aren't even perfect such that the systems aren't linked to one another . This time, it'll be different . It'll be launched by the Federation, so all the systems will be unified . The Federation has organized this competition and set lucrative rewards to attract as many soul masters as possible to take part and promote this advanced technology . It's said that the army has already used it and its effects are impressive . "
"That's great if it's true . What are you waiting for? Let's sign up . It's free anyway . It'll be good for our experience . "
"Are there any restrictions?"
"Nope . It's said that any soul master below the Title Douluo rank is allowed to take part . There's no other restriction . Oh right, you must be below a three-word battle armor master because the system is incapable of withstanding a three-word battle armor master's fighting . The main problem is that the external facility is not strong enough . A three-word battle armor master's leaked energies during a battle can damage the system even if his or her physical condition has been scanned earlier . Thus, as long as one isn't a three-word battle armor master or does not deploy a three-word battle armor, and is below the Title Douluo rank, one is then allowed to take part . "
