Long Yuxue continued as she walked, ”The troops stationed here are changed once every month, and there are a total of 10 corps in our legion with around 1,500 soldiers per corps. This is the main battle unit; units like our special service department are separate from this and are considered to be a part of the a.s.sistance battle unit. The rest are the logistical and research personnel, which add up to around 10,000 people in total. Hence, the total number of people in the legion has always added up to somewhere between 25,000 and 30,000 people. For newbies like you, even if you join the main battle unit, you'll only be a backup soldier.

”The experience that we've acc.u.mulated during the past several thousand years have allowed us to drastically decrease the number of casualties compared to in the past. Generally speaking, after a month of special training, a newbie will go through a year during which they'll be a backup soldier. Only after progressing past this one-year period will a newbie truly be allowed to step onto the battlefield. Your situation is rather special as you're quite powerful, and that was why you were a.s.signed to the special service department. This was also an arrangement made with the intention of getting you to familiarize yourself with battling in the abyss as quickly as possible.

Only after pa.s.sing through three more points that were guarded by soldiers did they truly enter the abyssal pa.s.sageway.

The lights up ahead had become very dim and faint compared to the light behind them.

”This light comes from the abyssal pa.s.sageway. We're currently in a C-tier pa.s.sageway, so we shouldn't encounter any overly powerful abyssal creatures; you'll definitely be able to handle them. Facing real abyssal creatures is going to be a little different from battling them in simulations. Have you ever fought real soul beasts? Probably not. Have you partic.i.p.ated in any compet.i.tions? In any case, just remember that all battles you fight against abyssal creatures are battles of life and death, so you absolutely can't afford to hold back. You also have to be extremely and take advantage of any opportunities that come your way. This is not a drill.”

Even though Tang Wulin had brilliant power and apt.i.tude, Long Yuxue had seen many exceptional prodigies fail to struggle to adjust after coming to the Blood G.o.d Legion. The continent had always been in a period of peace, so there weren't really any opportunities for Soul Masters to engage in real battles. In contrast, this was a true battlefield between humans and abyssal creatures, and it was certainly no joke. As such, she was presenting constant reminders to Tang Wulin in an attempt to make him take this situation seriously and not grow complacent through arrogance. Arrogant people were often the ones who died the quickest.

Tang Wulin gave no reply and merely nodded in response.

After advancing for around another kilometer, Tang Wulin estimated that they had already traveled seven to eight kilometers in total. There were was a type of faint special energy fluctuations within the abyssal pa.s.sageway, as if the pa.s.sageway itself were an alternate spatial plane rather than something constructed from substantial rocks and soil. This was most likely why the abyssal plane couldn't access other places.

The situation was akin to the spatial pa.s.sageway piercing a giant tube straight into the Douluo Continent, and they could only travel to the continent through this tube.

Now, the main tube had been sealed, so they could only search for some branches to enter through before attempting to open up the main tube.

”Prepare for battle,” Long Yuxue yelled in a serious voice, and at the same time, light flashed from her hands before a soul weapon appeared in her grasp.

This appeared to be a ma.s.sive gun with a length of over two meters, and the barrel of the gun was especially long, but it was slightly thinner than the high-frequency cannon barrel that Tang Wulin had once repaired. However, he could sense that the energy fluctuations imbued within this weapon were extremely fearsome, and he felt threatened by it even with his incredible defensive prowess.

After this soul gun appeared in her hands, Long Yuxue's aura instantly changed. It was no longer cold and aloof. Instead, it had completely vanished, and even the threat that Tang Wulin was detecting from her gun had disappeared. It was as if she had become one with the air around her, but she was clearly standing right there.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but admire her aura concealment skills.

Tang Wulin had never had a chance to familiarize himself with Long Yuxue's abilities; he could only roughly sense that her aura belonged to that of a five-ring Soul King.

Tang Wulin was a student of Shrek Academy, so he'd always been pitted against opponents of higher cultivation ranks than himself, so in his heart, there was no way that Long Yuxue's combat prowess could be superior to his.

However, at this moment, his conviction in that belief wavered slightly. Long Yuxue was most likely more powerful than he'd imagined, and she had definitely reached her military rank at such a young age through her power.

After summoning her weapon, Long Yuxue's speed also increased. The tips of her toes gently tapped against the ground, propelling her forward in a fast yet completely soundless manner.
