Tang Wulin: I became a tool? (Five thousand)

Deep within the Endless Mountain Range, a grayish-white mist lingers year-round.

At the Blood God Legion's base, Leng Yaozhu led twenty Soul Tool Technology into this legendary frontline position that suppressed the Abyss, where they were personally greeted by Zhang Huanyun, the commander of the Blood God Legion.

"I heard that Your Heavenly Phoenix Crown has reached the Limit, congratulations." In front of the camp, Zhang Huanyun led his men to greet them, a hint of envy in his eyes.

He was only one step away from his Limit, but he couldn't break through it for a long time. Now that he saw that Heavenly Phoenix Douluo had broken through the bottleneck, he was naturally a little envious.

Leng Yaozhu smiled modestly, "Bright Mirror Douluo, you're too kind. It was just a fluke."

Your Majesty is too modest.

Zhang Huanyun waved her hand, her gaze sweeping over the twenty Soul Tool Technology in their uniforms behind her. "You've all come from afar; you must be tired from your journey. Please come inside and talk."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to lead the way, guiding the group deeper into the camp.

As they walked toward the base, the Soul Tool Technology behind Leng Yaozhu surveyed their surroundings.

The camp layout is simple and efficient. On the spacious parade ground, many Soul Masters in military uniforms pass by. Their cultivation levels are all above Soul Ancestor, and the Soul Tool they carry are all military-grade Soul Tool. Occasionally, Soul Beast can also be seen, mainly from the Emerald Swan Clan.

Looking up, one can see a squadron of about twenty Black Level Mecha patrolling around the camp in the distance.

Upon witnessing this scene, a Soul Tool Technology who had never been to this place before couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows and eyes, overwhelmed with emotion.

They truly deserve to be called the Federation's most elite force.

You have to understand, in other armies, which Mecha pilot who can fly Black Level Mecha isn't extremely arrogant?

Which one isn't a pillar of strength? To become a Black Level Mecha pilot, the lowest rank is colonel, and at the very least, a regimental commander.

But what about these? A formation of nearly twenty Black Level Mecha is patrolling, and the Mecha pilots are just ordinary soldiers.

This glimpse into the Blood God Legion's strength reveals just how formidable it is.

Leng Yaozhu glanced at the scene and sighed, "No matter how many times I see it, I can still feel the gap between the Blood God Legion and the other legions."

This wasn't her first time visiting the Blood God Legion.

The Spirit Pagoda is quite common for people like Tang Wulin to come to the Blood God Legion for training. Leng Yaozhu also came when she was young, so she is very familiar with the strength of the Blood God Legion.

The Blood God Legion has an entry threshold of Four Rings cultivation and a legion size of 30,000. Among them, including Three-Word Battle Armor Master and Red Level Mecha Master, there are more than twenty Super Douluo- level experts, as well as three Four-Word Battle Armor masters. Undoubtedly, it is the strongest legion in the Federation.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huanyun said with pride, "After all, this is a gathering place for the Federation's elites. If we weren't strong, we would be letting down the Federation and the support of various families and forces, and we wouldn't be able to stop the Abyss Creatures."

As he spoke, Zhang Huanyun led Leng Yaozhu to a row of silver-white buildings on the east side of the camp.

"We've arrived." He stopped and turned to the twenty Soul Tool Technology. "This is the temporary residence and laboratory for the technicians. The equipment has been set up in advance. You can familiarize yourselves with the environment and test your instruments. If you need anything, just tell the officer in charge of logistics."

After a pause, Zhang Huanyun's tone became more serious. "The technical staff of the Ming De Hall are also among them. We entrust the task of strengthening both the defensive and offensive systems to you."

The leading technician, a refined-looking middle-aged man, nodded and said, "We understand."

Seeing this, Zhang Huanyun gave a wink to the adjutant beside her. The adjutant immediately stepped forward and led twenty men into the building, their footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

Once the group had disappeared from sight, Zhang Huanyun withdrew her gaze and led Leng Yaozhu toward another conference room, casually remarking along the way, "The Soul Tool Technology we brought this time are all elites from the research institute, right?"

He saw eight named ninth-level soul guide Manufacturer among them, some human and some Soul Beast Side. It has to be said that the Spirit Pagoda has a truly rich foundation in this area.

There are fewer than thirty Level Nine Manufacturer in the entire Federation, Spirit Pagoda accounts for at least half of them.

Is this not worthy of being the power Spirit Ice Douluo?

"Of course," Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly, "Aside from a few people who stayed by His Majesty Huo Yuhao's side to assist him and Ling Zichen in their research, as well as some necessary personnel remaining on duty, the research department's top technical staff are basically all here."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huanyun's expression shifted slightly, becoming somewhat strange.

This person doesn't seem to know that Huo Yuhao is the Spirit Ice Douluo.

"By the way, speaking of His Majesty Huo Yuhao," Leng Yaozhu continued, oblivious to Zhang Huanyun's change in expression, "Among the juniors from the Spirit Pagoda he asked me to bring this time, one of them will be of great use to your Blood God Legion."

As they spoke, the two had already stepped into the conference room, and the three figures inside turned their gazes toward them upon hearing this.

"Someone who plays a significant role? Who is it?" one of the figures asked.

That was an acquaintance of Leng Yaozhu, and she was somewhat surprised to see him there.

"The Passionate Douluo, you're here too?"

The three people in the room were none other than Smiling Douluo, Heartless Douluo, and Passionate Douluo.

Among them, Smiling Douluo and Heartless Douluo were originally Four-Word Battle Armor masters of the Blood God Legion. Together with Zhang Huanyun, the legion commander, they were the three Four-Word Battle Armor masters of the Blood God Legion, all of whom had the strength of the Ultimate level.

Therefore, Leng Yaozhu was not surprised that the Heartless Douluo was here.

Although Heartless Douluo Heartless Douluo is a member of Shrek, he has been guarding the Abyss Passage with the Blood God Legion for many years. The Federation will not make things too difficult for him. He can be said to be the former Shrek Academy member who passed the review and was reinstated to his original position the fastest.

Leng Yaozhu was somewhat surprised to see the Passionate Douluo, who was not part of the Blood God Legion, here.

Wasn't it said that the Heartless Douluo came to the Blood God Legion to avoid the Passionate Douluo? How did the two of them end up together again?

"If I return to the military and don't atone for my sins in the Abyss Passage, where else can I go?" The Passionate Douluo shrugged, then paused and added, "However, this is also related to the proposal made by your Spirit Pagoda member at the Federation meeting."

That one?

Leng Yaozhu was puzzled.

Seeing this, the Heartless Douluo spoke up calmly, clearing up the confusion for the Passionate Douluo, "It's the Lord Huo Yuhao you mentioned earlier, the reincarnation of the Fire God. He suggested Zang Xin when discussing sending more men to support the Blood God Legion in setting up their defenses. He seems to know about our Martial Soul Fusion Skill and wants us to act as insurance."

Puff!

Zhang Huanyun almost burst out laughing upon hearing this, but thankfully she managed to hold it in.

The Spirit Ice Douluo is the reincarnation of the Fire God —he laughs every time he hears this.

"I see." Leng Yaozhu understood.

The older generation generally knows that the Heartless Douluo and the Passionate Douluo possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

However, since becoming Limit Douluo, the two have not used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Although the two Demigod using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill are speculated by many to possess God Rank- level power, no one has actually witnessed it, so the situation regarding the Passionate Douluo and the Heartless Douluo remains uncertain.

But since only one god has made this judgment, it is clearly not wrong.

Only the Heartless Douluo and the Passionate Douluo knew their own situation.

Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill does indeed possess God Rank- level power, but—it comes at the cost of their Life.

However, the results are worth the cost, and they can withstand any unexpected events that might occur here.

"We've strayed from the topic, Deputy Pagoda Master. Who was that person you just mentioned?" The Smiling Douluo, who hadn't spoken until now, chuckled and brought the conversation back on track.

Leng Yaozhu glanced at him and explained, "It's Tang Wulin. According to His Majesty Huo Yuhao, he possesses a Divine Tool that can kill Abyss Creatures and devour the energy of the Abyss Plane."

The fact that the Golden Dragon Spear killed the Abyss Creatures could not be kept secret from the Blood God Legion, so Huo Yuhao simply told her a lot of things and put her in charge of negotiating with the Blood God Legion.

As Leng Yaozhu finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Then Zhang Huanyun and Heartless Douluo showed excited expressions. Even the Smiling Douluo, whose eyes were usually squinted, suddenly opened his eyes wide, revealing a rare sharp light.

"Devour Abyss energy?" Zhang Huanyun's voice tightened slightly with excitement. "You mean—truly devour? Not just killing and letting the energy return to the Abyss, but completely absorbing it and making it your own?"

"Exactly." Leng Yaozhu nodded.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

Zhang Huanyun paced back and forth, "I thought we'd have to wait until later to demand our revenge from the Abyss Plane, but now it seems we can make them pay a price."

He looked at Leng Yaozhu, "Can we borrow that Divine Tool?"

Leng Yaozhu had also asked Huo Yuhao about this, so she shook her head immediately, "No, that Divine Tool is called the Golden Dragon Spear, and only specific people can use it."

Without the bloodline of the Golden Dragon, the Golden Dragon Spear cannot be used effectively.

"I see."

Zhang Huanyun first sighed regretfully, then thought of something, "Tang Wulin seems to be about the same age as those two. He possesses Divine Tool that he can use. Could he also be a reincarnation of a god?"

"Um... I don't think so." Leng Yaozhu's tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

To be honest, Tang Wulin does have quite a few abnormalities.

Heartless Douluo, however, thought of something else and said with a flicker in his eyes, "Sending Tang Wulin here to kill the Abyss Creatures at this time will attract the attention of the Abyss Plane. Lord Huo Yuhao must have other purposes, right?"

"That's right."

Leng Yaozhu revealed Huo Yuhao's plan to play the long game.

After listening, the group exchanged glances, and Zhang Huanyun smiled slightly. "Since that's their plan, we'll cooperate. Even if the Abyss chooses to play it safe and doesn't send any powerful attackers, this is still an opportunity to weaken Abyss."

If they can't use the Golden Dragon Spear, can't they at least capture the Abyss Creatures and hand them over to Tang Wulin to kill?

The Abyss Creatures Undying and have caused them so much trouble; it's time to settle the score!

It will be tough on that junior colleague who hasn't arrived yet.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin, who was climbing a snow-capped mountain, sneezed.

Achoo-

He rubbed his nose, looked up at the endless snow slope, and exhaled a puff of white breath. The cold wind, carrying fine ice crystals, stung his face like a knife.

"What's wrong?" Xie Xie, walking beside him, glanced at him. "You caught a cold? You're so weak, how could you catch a cold?"

"No." Tang Wulin shook his head and smiled, "It's just that my nose suddenly itched. Maybe my senior is talking about me."

"Shameless! I'm ashamed to be associated with someone like you who's already out of the single life!" Xie Xie felt uncomfortable all over upon hearing this and walked forward with disgust.

Tang Wulin smiled helplessly and glanced at Xu Xiaoyan and the others.

Of the five, he and Xu Xiaoyan were the fastest to reach the Soul Emperor level. The others were a little slower, but the lowest level was still level 59, which was close to the Soul Emperor.

"I've heard that the Blood God Legion's service period is at least five years. I wonder what level of cultivation we'll reach when our service ends."

Xie Xie, who was ahead, slowed down and glanced back at Tang Wulin. "It's hard to say, but you and Xu Xiaoyan might become Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo. After all, you've already started to condense your First Soul Core, right? Your cultivation speed has obviously increased significantly."

Everyone says that cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as you progress, but he always felt that this saying was completely irrelevant to Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan.

The cultivation speed of these two seems to be getting faster and faster. (In Douluo 3, the cultivation speed gets faster and faster as the story progresses. Tang Wulin became Soul Ancestor at eighteen and Titled Douluo around twenty-four, leaping nearly fifty levels in six years. The Shrek Seven Monsters of the same period were similar, each of them being skilled at leaping levels, and their speed in becoming Titled Douluo was not much different from Yun Ming's.)

Xie Xie thought and thought but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only focus his attention on the Soul Core.

After all, condensing Soul Core does indeed help with cultivation speed.

As for the rule that only Soul Saint can condense Soul Core?

After learning about Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's situation, he stopped believing in that stuff a long time ago.

"I don't know about Xu Xiaoyan, but I did condense Soul Core when I broke through to level 60."

Tang Wulin shook his head at first, then said, "You guys aren't slow either."

Having become Soul King for less than two years, and about to break through or already becoming Soul Emperor, it can hardly be called slow.

"Isn't it because of you guys who are so arrogant that I'm forced into this situation? I can accept that I can't keep up with the boss and Sister Na, they're not human, they're gods. But if I fall further behind you and Xu Xiaoyan, how are we supposed to survive?" Xie Xie rolled his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was speechless for a moment.

To be fair, this time, coming to the Abyss Passage and using the Golden Dragon Spear to absorb the energy of the Abyss will probably accelerate his growth. Perhaps, as Xie Xie said, he can become Titled Douluo at the age of twenty-two or twenty-three, achieving or surpassing the accomplishments of that Heaven Supporting Douluo.

It's impossible for this gap not to widen.

He's cheating!

The two chatted casually. Although the weather was cold and the altitude was constantly increasing, they were both Soul King or higher, so the harsh environment didn't prevent them from making any progress.

I'm just very tired.

"The highest peak here must be over 6,000 meters above sea level; it's truly not a place for humans to live."

After a long while, he finally reached the peak. Looking at the campsite in the distance, Xie Xie breathed heavily for a moment, wiped the sweat from his face, and couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, save your energy for the report." Tang Wulin patted Xie Xie on the shoulder as he watched flying Soul Beast leading soldiers approaching in the distance.

Those flying Soul Beast are Snow God Eagle. They are the guardians of the snow mountains, inhabiting certain snow mountains, and are also a symbol of the Blood God Legion.

It is precisely because of the rare Soul Beast, the Snow God Eagle, that the Blood God Legion was named here, which can be considered one of the symbols of peace between humans and Soul Beast.

The soldiers who could travel with the Snow God Eagle must be from the Blood God Legion.

They arrived just as soon as they were here; their reaction time was incredibly fast.

With a sigh, Tang Wulin and the others stepped forward to negotiate and verify information with the Blood God Legion. They quickly received arrangements, and the group of fifty people were assigned to different officers.

Fortunately, Tang Wulin and his group of five were still together.

After the initial assessment, a lieutenant explained the various precautions to be taken by the Blood God Legion.

Among them, one sentence caught their attention the most.

"You may not have had the opportunity to fight alongside Soul Beast before, but you will encounter them here, so don't be surprised. The Blood God Legion has many powerful members from the Soul Beast Clan, and even the healing department has Soul Beast like the Emerald Swan. They have significantly reduced casualties for the legion, so show them respect."

Although he knew that the people in front of him were geniuses from the Spirit Pagoda and that there was a high probability that there would be no problems, the lieutenant still spoke a few more words earnestly.

"Every Soul Beast comrade here has risked their life and shed blood in the Abyss Tide. Anyone who dares to disrespect them will be punished by me, even before the legion takes action!"

Tang Wulin nodded and said solemnly, "Lieutenant, rest assured, we understand!"

The lieutenant glanced at him, and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, softened his expression and continued, "Although you are all geniuses, don't be arrogant. There are many in our Blood God Legion who are stronger than you now."

Even so, when the Blood God Legion was first established, it suffered a 70% loss in the face of the Abyss Tide. Even though the casualty rate has decreased now, you will still die if you are careless. Abyss Creatures are Undying; trading death for injury is commonplace. Don't lose your lives because of arrogance."

He had seen this kind of thing before, so he gave specific instructions.

"Alright, if you have any other questions, please ask now."

Several people shook their heads.

Seeing this, the lieutenant was about to dismiss the troops when he suddenly received a message. After reading it, he looked at Tang Wulin with a strange expression.

"Tang Wulin, you stay here and come with me."

Tang Wulin stayed behind, completely bewildered, and then met Zhang Huanyun and the others, whereupon he received an order that left him both amused and exasperated.

"From this day forward, the Blood God Legion will focus on capturing Abyss Creatures, all of which will be your responsibility to kill."

Tang Wulin: "----"

No wonder I sneezed earlier—it was a bad premonition.

Has he just become a tool?

Tang Wulin accepted the order with a wry smile, and thus began his life in the Blood God Legion, spending his days training in the Abyss Passage and returning in the evening to "finish off" his enemies, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

They can't kill them all, they really can't kill them all.

He absorbed so much Abyss energy that sometimes he couldn't refine it all at once.

However, his cultivation level improved much faster, almost by leaps and bounds.

The Blood God Legion's unbridled slaughter of Abyss Creatures naturally attracted the attention of the Abyss Plane.
