The Far North, this desolate land covered in ice and snow, is ruled by severe cold and storms year-round.
Tang San and Tang Hao, clad in black robes, gazed through the layers of wind and snow at the Evil Soul Master in the distance.
The wind and snow raged around them, but the black robes fluttered in the wind and could not shake them in the slightest. The two of them stood silently on this cold land like two statues.
Finally, Tang San spoke first:
" The Demon Empress they spoke of... for some reason, feels very familiar to me."
"She was also a Deep Sea Demon Whale," Tang Hao added quietly. "She should be the wife of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King you killed 20,000 years ago."
"Is that so? I see. No wonder I always felt a strange sense of familiarity." Tang San nodded slightly, placing his hands behind his back, looking extremely confident.
"If that's the case, why do you still choose to help her wake up? Aren't you afraid she'll hold a grudge against you?"
"Of course I'm scared, so I absolutely can't show up in front of her. Fortunately, those Evil Soul Master didn't figure out my identity, since I didn't reveal too much information."
"We are now racing against time, Father. I can't do anything to Yu Longyue, so they shouldn't be able to do anything to me either. Therefore, the only way to break this deadlock is to see who can become a god faster."
"Our solution lies with this Demon Empress. She is incredibly close to God Level. Once she awakens, she will naturally have her own way to break through to God Level."
"I can't recover to God Level strength anymore. I suffer from inner demons and am powerless to defeat Yu Longyue, so I can only gamble on her."
"As long as she successfully advances to the God Level, I can find a way to possess her body, then take over that body myself, thereby unleashing God Level power and crushing Yu Longyue."
At this point, Tang San's face contorted into a ferocious expression.
"But he has the Silver Dragon King by his side. If the two of them combine, I won't be able to kill him." Tang Hao frowned. "Moreover, Yu Longyue is hiding a trump card. It's a pity that with the Silver Dragon King's help, that hammer blow could have been forced out."
"Hmph, Silver Dragon King... If it weren't for Yu Longyue causing trouble, she would be one of us too." Tang San's expression turned serious. "We'll talk about that later. Right now, let's find a way to awaken the Demon Empress. I'll use some tricks this time so they won't notice."
As he spoke, Tang San couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"What's wrong?"
"For some reason, I always have this feeling of being watched." Tang San narrowed his eyes, but couldn't see anything more. "Could it be just my imagination?"
"You're mistaken; there's no one around."
Hopefully.
Tang San looked terrible and was sighing repeatedly.
He was confident in everything he did, but when it came to anything concerning Yu Longyue, he truly dared not be careless.
"Aren't you going to reveal your identity yet?" Tang Hao asked again, also unable to figure out what Tang San was thinking.
"Although countless believers will follow me once I reveal my identity, ultimately it all comes down to my strength." Tang San clenched his fist and said sternly, "It's essentially a world where the strong prey on the weak. Right now, I'm not strong enough; I probably couldn't even handle the Lord of the War God Temple. At first, they might be shocked by my identity..."
"But if my strength doesn't match my status over time, they'll start to have other ideas."
"Therefore, to be on the safe side, I will wait until the Demon Empress awakens and breaks through to the God Level before revealing myself to eliminate such Evil creatures, and then announce my identity to all of humanity. At the same time, I will also possess God Level strength, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
Tang San took a deep breath and said slowly and in a deep voice:
"Father, we must wait... We absolutely cannot rush things."
"Understood."
Blood God Legion.
"Lieutenant, this is the new guy. Give him a performance review."
"Yes, Major."
The lieutenant watched the other person leave, then looked Yu Longyue up and down.
At this moment, Yu Longyue was still dressed in white, but he had removed the badge from his chest.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has always maintained a low profile and does not allow members to claim to be disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in public.
However, Yu Longyue has always been considered a rather special person in the family, so they haven't paid much attention to him.
But in the eyes of this lieutenant, it was a different story.
Yu Longyue's obvious characteristics and demeanor as a wealthy young man could not escape her notice.
"Another young master from a wealthy family here to experience life?"
Yu Longyue did not refute them in any way, but instead felt that they all seemed to have a particular opinion about her.
"Young man, I must remind you, no matter where you come from or what your background is, never be arrogant, and you are not allowed to act like a rich young master. No one here will indulge you." Seeing that he didn't answer, the lieutenant frowned and added, " The Blood God Legion is not an ordinary army. Every one of those recommended here is a prodigy, even a young master or princess from a powerful family. We have no shortage of people with connections here."
But less than a third of them will actually stay.
Yu Longyue nodded; he agreed with that.
Those who fought against the Abyss in the Blood God Legion were mostly from major forces on the Douluo Continent; no one from smaller forces was allowed to participate.
Especially when the Abyss first appeared, it was ancient, reclusive forces such as the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that took the lead in resisting Abyss, and they paid a heavy price along with the Federation and Shrek Academy.
That's a pretty humane approach.
At least there was no mandatory military service; civilian Soul Master were sent up as cannon fodder.
"Shall we start the assessment now? No registration is required?"
The lieutenant shook his head in denial. "No need. You've already proven your identity, which is why you were brought here. Registration is pointless until you complete the assessment. As for when it will begin, that's even simpler: the enemy will never tell you when they'll appear."
Yu Longyue recalled the two assassination attempts she had been plotted against, one by the Holy Spirit Cult and the other by Tang San...
"You're right."
The lieutenant led Yu Longyue out of the room and into a place that resembled a warehouse.
"You can choose any weapon here. Remember, in the place where you will be assessed later, neither Martial Soul nor Soul Power can be used. Therefore, you can only rely on your own body and the weapons here. Now, choose one that you are good at."
Yu Longyue glanced around the warehouse.
The variety of weapons and equipment is dazzling, many of which are modern soul-guided weapons, including ray guns and Soul Cannon, all of which are designed for individual combat.
Let's try using a modern gun from Douluo Star; no other melee weapon can withstand his physical strength.
Yu Longyue picked up a Soul Guidance Ray Gun and played with it in her hand.
It's like finally getting to handle a gun in a modern society with extremely strict gun control.
This is one of the romantic things a man can do.
Seeing that he had chosen his weapon, the lieutenant didn't say anything more, only saying:
"Come with me, prepare to begin your assessment."
