"Baan is only a leader. For more than six thousand years, the creatures of the abyss have been thinking about invading our world all the time, so they have been attacking the seal, and we are doing our best to protect the seal."

Gu You said: "That's easy then. The military merits you mentioned are those gained by fighting against abyssal creatures?"

"That's right." Long Yuxue said, "The cave you saw during the test was built to imitate the abyss cave, and the situation was simulated to be about 70% similar. In that cave, affected by the fluctuations of the space channel, our spirit masters' martial arts will be greatly weakened. It's not completely unusable, but it's almost the same. This is why you can't use your spirit power during the test. The space shielding device we have developed with our current technology can only allow spirit masters to use their martial arts for a short period of time."

Gu You nodded, "I see. No wonder. In other words, after the special training, I will start fighting against abyssal creatures? And how many abyssal creatures can I kill to accumulate corresponding military merits?"

Long Yuxue nodded. "That's the theory. But you are in the Special Service Department, which is different from the combat troops."

Gu You said: "Sir, can I be transferred to the combat unit? I want to fight on the front line."

Looking at Gu You's high morale, Long Yuxue raised her eyebrows slightly. As a female soldier, she always admired not only handsome boys, but also responsible and capable soldiers.

There is no doubt that Gu You has all these qualities. During the assessment, all the battles felt no different from the real world, especially when facing Mo Mei at the end. Mo Mei's speed did not even give her time to think. Even in that situation, Gu You was still able to kill her effortlessly, which shows that Gu You's strength is already terrifyingly strong among his peers.

Therefore, Long Yuxue had no doubt at all about what Gu You said at this time.

"No, you are wrong. Compared with combat troops, we actually have more opportunities to come into contact with abyss creatures. Do you know what our Special Service Department does?" Long Yuxue asked.

Gu You shook his head blankly. He had no idea about some of the military positions.

Long Yuxue said, "Our special service department mainly carries out various tasks. The other day you saw me guarding the outer perimeter of the legion. I was filling in for a friend. Under normal circumstances, that is not our job scope. Our most important task is reconnaissance and providing various materials and specimens to the research institute."

"The combat troops and the abyss creatures have to rotate and resupply, etc. Moreover, the abyss creatures will not come at any time. The main task of the combat troops is to guard the abyss passage and not let any of them out. But our special service is different. The most important task of our mission is reconnaissance. We will enter the place closest to the entrance of the space passage, and we may even go to the abyss plane for reconnaissance to explore more information and situations of the abyss creatures. If we discover new species and bring back specimens, it will be a very important achievement. Therefore, if you want to be promoted faster, it is definitely most suitable to work in our special service department in the early stage."

Gu You asked curiously, "Why early on?"

Long Yuxue said, "Within a certain rank, personal military merit is very important. But above a certain rank, especially above lieutenant colonel, then the ability to command will also be counted as merit, because high-ranking officers must have the ability to lead, otherwise, they cannot be promoted to a higher position. Even if they can, with a high rank, they are just like guest officials in the army and cannot directly command the army. Take Jiang Wuyue, for example. He was originally from the Special Service Department. After he reached the rank of major, he was transferred to the combat unit. It took him two years to be promoted to a full-time position. The speed at which military merit accumulates will be very fast. If it were me, I would not be able to pay for the meal you ate yesterday."

Gu You narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean I'd better get to the rank of major in the Special Service Department and then transfer to the combat unit, right?"

"Yes, this is the fastest way to accumulate military merit. Of course, not everyone can do this, it requires sufficient personal strength. And your ability has been tested through the assessment. In the next month, I will further test your ability and arrange tasks for you in the future. The biggest advantage of our special service department is that we are different from combat troops. There is no overall deployment. We can enter the abyss channel for reconnaissance and combat at any time."

"I understand." Gu You nodded. After listening to Long Yuxue's introduction, he had a general understanding of the Blood God Legion. At this time, he seemed to feel the Golden Dragon Spear trembling.

What a longing feeling it is!

"I can defeat the abyss creatures by myself." Gu You said in a low voice.

"What are you talking about?" Long Yuxue's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Nothing, just continue talking."

Long Yuxue said in a deep voice: "Your strength is indeed quite good, but I must remind you that no matter what time, don't be arrogant. The creatures in the abyss are more terrifying than you think. Moreover, the actual combat is different from the illusion, because you don't have a chance to live again, understand?"

"Yeah." Gu You nodded.

Long Yuxue's face was slightly foggy, and she said, "Next, I will tell you about the currently known situation of the Abyss Plane, and the overview of the various Abyss creatures in the Abyss Plane."

Long Yuxue is a good instructor. She explains everything to Gu You in great detail and Gu You listens very carefully. If he has any questions, he will ask them immediately and Long Yuxue will answer them one by one.

As he gained a deeper understanding of the Abyss Plane, Gu You felt more and more the greatness of the Blood God Legion. According to Long Yuxue's description, among all the soldiers of the Blood God Legion who served here, less than half of them could actually complete the ten-year service period and leave.

Although human technology is constantly advancing and experience in fighting against the abyss is increasing, casualties are still unavoidable.

At the same time, Gu You also learned that the Blood God Corps was not without backup as imagined, and the Federation did not provide funding. The various equipment of the Blood God Corps was almost the strongest equipment that humans could have at present. This was complete support from the Federation for the technology of the Blood God Corps.

Gu You thought that the only weapon that the Blood God Legion might be able to use might be the twelve-level god-killing soul-guided cannonball.

But when the survival of the Douluo plane comes to a critical moment, this shell can still be used.

If you want to join the Blood God Legion, you must first raise your cultivation to the fourth ring or above.
