The power that he could absorb when he was crowned as a Titled Douluo, now showed signs of being broken due to the birth of Eternity.

Gu You didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. In short, he was looking forward to the power that the third level seal of the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor would bring him.

This retreat also allowed him to improve his cultivation, raising his soul power to level 79. He was already one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo.

"Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Gu You, who was sitting in the room meditating, stood up, walked forward and opened the door. It was Long Yuxue who came in from outside.

"Sir." Gu You invited her in.

Long Yuxue looked energetic, and she had obviously also participated in the battle. The abyss tide was dangerous, but it was also an opportunity. It was the best chance to improve her military rank and accumulate military merits. Long Yuxue would certainly not let it go.

"You never came back after the Eight Blood Gods took you away that day. What happened? Why didn't you come to join the battle? I heard later that it seemed like an order from above prohibited you from participating in the war?" Long Yuxue asked straight to the point.

"It may be because of my Golden Dragon Spear. The Blood God Camp had some considerations. So they didn't let me participate in the battle again." Gu You looked helpless.

Long Yuxue looked puzzled. "Come on, I'll take you to the Operations Department. It's time to reward you based on your merits."

"it is good."

Long Yuxue smiled and said, "During the battle, although the Blood God Ring will automatically record the merits we get from killing abyssal creatures, there will be some compensation measures after such a big battle. Simply put, because the melee combat is in the front, the ranged attack can be output safely in the back. Therefore, after the battle, the ranged attack warriors must give a certain amount of merit compensation to the melee combatants. The legion naturally has a coefficient for bonus. You participated in the melee combat at that time, and you played so well in the first battle, so you must have extra merits. Moreover, in my opinion, even if you have accumulated merits now, it is enough for you to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant. You are lucky. It has only been a short time since you arrived! You encountered the abyss tide. Moreover, this tide is particularly easy to deal with. It has receded in just seven days."

Following Long Yuxue to the Operations Department, the soldiers were using their Blood God Rings to claim their merits and were holding a ceremony to award them military ranks. As long as their merits met the standards, they could be promoted to higher ranks. After each Abyssal Tide War, a large number of soldiers would be promoted to higher ranks.

Gu You followed behind Long Yuxue and lined up at the back.

The process was going very fast, with more than a dozen high-ranking officers in charge of awarding titles. Seeing that many people in front of him had golden stars on their shoulders, Gu You couldn't help but feel envious and expectant.

According to what Long Yuxue said, his rank should be able to be promoted to lieutenant, which means one bar and two stars.

Finally, it was Long Yuxue's turn.

Long Yuxue handed over her Blood God Ring. After a special instrument scan, the colonel in front of her smiled and said, "Yuxue, you performed well this time. You really made your father proud. In this battle, you won 9,0500 merits. According to the rules, long-range warriors need to convert some merits to melee combat, so 3,0500 merits will be deducted from yours, leaving 6,000 merits. Adding your previous accumulation, congratulations, you can be promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel."

Although Long Yuxue had already judged her own situation a long time ago, she still couldn't help but smile. It was not easy to be promoted to lieutenant colonel before the age of 30.

Stand at attention, salute, and walk to the front to be awarded the rank.

After her, it was naturally Gu You. Gu You also handed over his Blood God Ring. After receiving his Blood God Ring, the colonel was stunned at first, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu You, "Are you from the Blood God Camp?"

"He is a non-staff member of the Blood God Camp." Gu You responded.

The colonel was stunned for a moment, then checked his Blood God Ring. "Your Blood God Ring is divided into two types of merits. The latter is combat merit. Let me take a look. Adding the total, it is 21,000 merits."

His voice at the end was noticeably higher.

"You joined the Blood God Camp?" Long Yuxue, who was about to receive the medal, quickly ran back, grabbed Gu You's hand, and looked at the Blood God Ring with a thorny rose on his hand with strong envy in her eyes.

Everyone in the Blood God Corps knows very well that the real backbone guarding the Abyss Passage is not them, but the nine Blood Gods of the Blood God Camp. Once they become one of the official Blood Gods, they will immediately be promoted to the rank of Major General. Although this also means that they will always be guarding here, being able to become a Blood God is definitely their greatest honor. This will be recorded by the Federation and the glory will last forever.

All descendants of the Blood God have many privileges in the Federation within three generations. The Blood God himself has privileges no less than those of federal congressmen and is an extra-vote in every parliament.

They are the true guardians of the Federation and are respected by everyone.

"Just a non-staff member." Gu You smiled.

Yuxue's expression suddenly became strange. Of course, the Blood God Camp did not only have nine Blood Gods. Some outstanding members of the Blood God Corps had the possibility of becoming non-staff members or even reserve Blood Gods. But this at least proved that the first step had been taken.

She had guessed that Gu You's ability to become a non-staff member of the Blood God Camp was probably related to his magical golden dragon spear, but even so, being able to join the Blood God Camp was a huge honor, not to mention that he had only been in the Blood God Corps for a few days? Not even the first month had passed, how could she, who had lived in the Blood God Corps since childhood, not envy him? She even felt a little jealous.

Once he joined the Blood God Battalion, it meant that Gu You would no longer belong to any department of the Blood God Legion, but would be directly managed by the Blood God Battalion, and she, as his direct superior, would no longer be able to let him do anything.

Long Yuxue couldn't help but think of her father's words. Is this the gap...

Seeing Long Yuxue in a daze, Gu You reminded, "Sir, it's time for you to be awarded a rank."

"Oh." Long Yuxue finally came to her senses, but the excitement she had just felt about being promoted to lieutenant colonel had mostly disappeared.

Gu You was also very curious about what level he could be promoted to with these merits. Long Yuxue's accumulated merits plus this time's merits should not exceed 20,000, which means he could be promoted from major to lieutenant colonel. Since his own merits exceeded 20,000, could he be promoted one more level?
Seeing that Long Yuxue's rank of two bars and one star had changed to two bars and two stars, Gu You also walked forward with excitement.

At least he's a major, right?
"The Blood God Camp cannot award ranks here. Your rank will be decided by the Blood God Camp. You can leave now." The officer in charge of awarding ranks poured cold water on him.

After becoming a member of the Blood God Camp...
