Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 232 Nan ​​Liujing, who subdued the legion's high command, and the Fallen Angel Soul Master's cold laugh.

Inside the War God Training Camp in the Fiery Basin.

In a secluded lounge, a group of people sat upright.

Their identities alone are enough to make countless Soul Master forces tremble with a stomp of their feet.

Dressed in black, with a calm expression, was the Heavenly Douluo Guan Yue.

With a hooked nose and a simple, solemn face, Yu Guanzhi, the Divine Brush Douluo.

With a fierce appearance, dark skin, and protruding eyes like copper bells, he gave off the impression of a blue-faced fanged monster. He was none other than Dong Zi'an, the commander of the Western Legion and the Fierce Wolf Douluo.

With a gentle face and a smiling demeanor that seemed to be friendly to everyone, he was Yin Moshang, the commander of the Northwest Legion and the Silver Halberd Douluo. Although he was not a Limit Douluo, he was still a veteran Super Douluo. His martial soul, the Silver Frost Halberd, was a top-tier weapon martial soul that was no less powerful than the Thousand Ancient Breeze Purgatory Halberd.

The blond old man, with a solemn expression and an aura of brilliance, was none other than the Southern Legion Commander, Angel Douluo Le Zheng'en.

With handsome features, long dark blue hair, and a calm demeanor, he is Chen Zeyu, the current commander of the Sea God Legion and a level 96 Super Douluo.

Besides these seated powerful figures, there were other people standing behind each of them.

The top War Gods of the War God Hall, led by Ao Rui, have all arrived. The rest, including the top experts from various legions, have also arrived with their respective legion commanders. Looking around, there are more than thirty people in the room, with the lowest cultivation level being the ninth ring level, and at the very least, a three-word Battle Armor Master.

Such a lineup could almost wipe out any current power.

However, some top experts did not come along, mainly to guard against sneak attacks from evil soul masters.

“Vice Minister, what exactly did the parliament say? Over the years, I don’t know about other legions, but for my Western Legion alone, the military supplies approved for us have been decreasing. I’m afraid that in a few more years, even the remaining resources will have to be cut off. In my opinion, it would be better to skip the parliament and directly assemble a large army to destroy Douling and Xingluo.”

The speaker had a hoarse voice; it was none other than the Fierce Wolf Douluo, Dong Zi'an.

His gaze fell on Yu Guanzhi, his words seemingly carrying a hint of respect, but actually concealing a strong stance. As fellow Limit Douluo, he naturally had no fear of the other party.

Someone spoke, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

The expressions of the legion's high-ranking officers all changed.

Dong Zi'an inquired about Yu Guanzhi's affairs, and it wasn't just the former who was concerned; they were as well.

Within the Federation today, materials suitable for Soul Master cultivation can still be found, especially with the existence of the Three Realms Battlefield, which has greatly alleviated the shortage of spiritual objects. However, rare metals and other materials for building armies and developing technology are becoming increasingly scarce, and their quality is even deteriorating, especially rare metals.

According to the research conducted by the Federal Research Institute, the conclusion is that the Federation will completely exhaust its available rare metals within two hundred years, which is definitely not good news.

In fact, there are many super mines that have been discovered but not yet mined within the Federation. What alarms scientists is that the rare metals in these super mines are showing signs of degrading into inferior metals. If these rare metals lose their spiritual properties, then many of humanity's top technologies, such as battle armor, mechs, and soul-guided warships, will inevitably become history.

According to the message sent back by the visiting delegation.

The rare metals within the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire have remained stable and have not degraded.

With the disbandment of Shrek Academy, the federal hawks completely overwhelmed the doves and neutrals.

If it weren't for the Spirit Pagoda's downfall due to Qian Gu Dong Feng, Leng Yao Zhu's refusal to reveal whether she would support the Federation's declaration of war against the other two major human empires, and the near annihilation of the strongest Sea God Legion, the war would have already begun.

Yu Guanzhi tapped the table lightly with his fingertip and said calmly, "Skipping parliament, you want independence?"

As the fingertips finally touched the table, a terrifying pressure with a distorted aura surged forth.

Everyone felt a sudden heaviness, as if they were being crushed by a giant boulder. They couldn't help but smile bitterly to themselves, thinking, "It's like gods are fighting, and we're the ones who suffer."

Dong Zian's expression changed slightly. As a fellow Limit Douluo and a demigod, he actually felt a sense of being outmatched.

"The Vice Minister is joking. I, Dong Zi'an, would never dare to defy public opinion and advocate for independence."

Yu Guanzhi glanced at him, silently withdrawing his oppressive aura: "The council will not agree to start a war until the Abyss issue is resolved. The main purpose of our gathering this time is to eliminate a group of Abyss Kings in advance to reduce the pressure."

Tianhai Douluo Chen Zeyu said meaningfully, "If this operation goes smoothly, may I ask the Vice Minister, will the military formally propose external expansion to the parliament?"

Everyone looked at him silently, a strange look appearing in their eyes.

The main warships of the Sea God Legion were ambushed by an unknown enemy and were basically wiped out. If it weren't for the presence of the Vast Ocean Douluo and most of the Soul Masters, they would have been kicked out of the legion.

If the Federation were to launch a war, the Northern Navy Corps, stationed in the Devil's Sea to defend against the arrival of the Sea Soul Beast tide, would never be able to launch an attack, especially since they do not have giant ships capable of long-distance ocean voyages.

The East Sea Legion is barely adequate, but its top-tier combat power is lacking. Legion Commander Zhu Ming is only level 96. As for mobilizing other ultimate powerhouses to oversee the situation, the vast ocean is fraught with dangers. Who understands the ocean better than the Vast Ocean Douluo?
Therefore, accelerating the reconstruction of the Poseidon Legion is most likely the best option for launching a war. Even if it cannot be restored to its peak, it can make up for many of the losses.

Yu Guanzhi did not answer directly, but said, "The reason why the research institute recently discovered those rare metal degradation cases is that the life source of Douluo Star is gradually weakening. In particular, our Douluo Continent has seen the extinction of land soul beasts and the loss of the balance of heaven and earth elemental power in the major forests, causing problems to appear earlier than the other two continents."

"Therefore, the most important thing at this stage is to hunt down the Abyss Emperors, seize their primordial energy, give it back to Douluo Star, and explore whether the ecological balance can be restored. If we can ensure that the rare metals in those unmined super mines can be restored to their original state, then the resources of our Douluo Continent alone will be enough to ensure that we can fly out of Douluo Star."

"As for the war, I can only tell you one thing: the Abyss Lord, who has never shown himself, is getting impatient and could launch a full-scale invasion at any time. Tell me, is this a good time to start a war against other countries? Do we have to waste our already limited resources on fighting against ourselves?"

Silence fell; no one in the room responded.

Bang bang bang.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence.

The nearest general rushed forward to open the door.

After the door opened, several figures appeared before everyone's eyes.

Yu Guanzhi and Guan Yue's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately got up and walked over.

After the others saw who was outside the door, especially the young man among them, their eyes lit up with excitement, as if they had seen a priceless treasure.

Yu Guanzhi smiled and said, "You've finally arrived."

Qian Gu Qingfeng said calmly, "I didn't expect you to gather so quickly. With a rush, you've finally arrived."

"Sit down," Guan Yue said.

Everyone nodded and then went inside.

A quick-witted general immediately brought over a sofa.

The eyes of the dozens of people in the room did not leave the young man.

As for Nan Liujing, he didn't care. After all, it was normal for these military bigwigs to have such hobbies; they were simply craving his forging skills.

The old master craftsman retired and now spends his days traveling the world with his good friend, the original Douluo. This newly promoted master craftsman naturally becomes someone that every Title Douluo wants to get to know.

Yu Guanzhi said gently, "Liu Jing, you are the key person in this 'closing the door and beating the dog' plan. Why don't you say something to everyone to cheer them up?"

Nanliu Scenic Area nodded, looking around at the crowd.
“From the moment you entered, you have all been staring at me. All you want is Heaven-Forged Metal, and I will not hide it from you.”

"In the upcoming battles, killing an Abyss Emperor from the lower 36th level will reward you with one piece of Four-Element Heavenly Forged Metal, a fusion of two metals; killing an Abyss Emperor from the middle 36th level will reward you with two pieces of Four-Element Heavenly Forged Metal, a fusion of three metals; and killing an Abyss Emperor from the upper 36th level will reward you with four pieces of Five-Element Heavenly Forged Metal, a fusion of three metals. You may also cooperate to kill them and share the rewards equally."

hiss.

In an instant, the room became hot, as the cold air was absorbed by the dozens of high-ranking military officers present.

Seeing this, Nan Liujing added fuel to the fire: "After the great war ends, I can promise you all that whoever kills the most abyssal creatures will have priority in having their legion crafted. In addition, I will be willing to sell all fusion-grade spirit forging and fusion-grade soul forging metals to your legions at 80% of the market price, with a guaranteed fusion rate of at least 80%. I imagine that most of you here don't even have that fusion rate for your three-word battle armor, right?"

Upon hearing this, at least seventeen or eighteen people showed embarrassed expressions.

Just as Nan Liujing guessed, although there seem to be quite a few three-word battle armor masters, the quality of most of their three-word battle armor is actually quite poor.

A fusion level of 60 is passing, 70 is excellent, and 80 is superb. Superb is already very rare; most people use fusion-grade soul-forging metals with a fusion level below 75. "Good."

With a bang, Fierce Wolf Douluo slammed his hand on the sofa armrest and solemnly declared, "Since the Divine Craftsman has spoken, then I, Dong Zian, will also declare here that once the battle begins, even at the risk of my own demise, I will definitely kill a top-twenty Abyss Emperor."

No one showed any unusual expression; on the contrary, Dong Zian's words stirred up the bloodlust in the others as well.

"I, Yin Moshang, also promise you that I will risk my life to kill a few Abyss Emperors."

"My Sea God Legion, follow!"

"The Southern Army is willing to go."

"The same applies to the Temple of War."

The high-ranking officials of various legions and the Temple of War spoke up one after another, afraid of falling behind their colleagues.

Nan Liujing, with a solemn expression, cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "All for humanity!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, clearly not expecting Nan Liujing to say such a thing.

In everyone's eyes, Nan Liujing was able to absorb abyssal energy to give back to himself. This plan was devised by Yu Guanzhi, Guan Yue, and Chen Xinjie to reduce the pressure on the Blood God Legion, while Nan Liujing did it for himself. After all, he could increase his strength by leaps and bounds, and as long as he participated, he could gain benefits. Why not? He could even use the Heavenly Forging Metal to befriend them.

But when he spoke, it was for the sake of humanity; his words were sharp and incisive, without the slightest hint of affectation.

They were all seasoned veterans; how could they not see that the other person was extremely sincere when they said those words?

After a two-and-a-half-second pause, everyone collectively said in a deep voice, "All for humanity!"

At this moment, even Dong Zi'an, who harbored the most resentment towards Nan Liujing, was completely convinced.

He and Qian Gu Dongfeng were close partners, and the Western Legion was strengthened by the Spirit Pagoda. With Qian Gu Dongfeng's defeat, the Western Legion lost an extremely important partner.

Dissatisfaction was inevitable, but as a person, listening to a young man passionately using "for humanity" to boost morale, Dong Zi'an, a soldier who rose from the bottom, genuinely admired him. This was the foundation upon which he was able to climb step by step to the top.

Compared to this, Qian Gu Dong Feng is just a useless junior with great strength but no talent.

Seeing that even the highest-ranking officers in the military had their morale boosted by Nan Liujing.

Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zheng Leng smiled in unison.

Leng Yaozhu rested her chin on her hand, her wine-red eyes brimming with pride for her man.

As for Yuan Enzhentian, his face was beaming with joy, he was extremely satisfied with his grandson-in-law.

Ya Li was slightly stunned for a moment, looking at Nan Liujing's tall and slender profile in his white outfit, her expression somewhat dazed.

"It's so similar."

"Now that we've refreshed everyone, let's set off for the Blood God Legion."

Guan Yue stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded.

Soon, dozens of experts with the ninth ring or higher silently crossed the Fiery Basin and, following a route pre-arranged by Zhang Huanyun, quietly concealed themselves within the Blood God Legion.

The group was also secretly discussing how to introduce more Abyss Emperors after the Blood God Array barrier was broken.

……

Two days later.

Blood God Legion, Special Operations Department.

An ordinary-looking but exceptionally hot female officer walked over as usual, ignoring the male officers around her who were smiling and gesturing to her, and went straight to the Blood Master Special Operations Department.

There were quite a few people sitting in the Special Operations Department, the lowest rank being major.

The Blood God Legion consists of two divisions: the Blood Division and the God Division.

The former is mainly responsible for direct combat with abyssal creatures, and his mentor is Xu Weitao, a titled Douluo and a three-word Douluo Armor Master.

The latter is mainly responsible for the management of various special forces regiments, such as mech divisions, the construction of heavy soul-guided weapon defensive positions, and medical units.

"I knew you'd arrive right on time."

In the Secret Service office, a young officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder smiled and spoke to the female officer.

The female officer said in a deep voice, "Patrolling on the front line and eliminating abyssal creatures that may gather and cause tides is the honor of every Blood God Legion soldier. My soldiers and I have no choice but to do so."

The young male officer looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "The front line is extremely dangerous. Powerful abyssal creatures could emerge from the passage at any time. You and the members of your squad must be careful."

The female officer named Kuroba paused, a strange light flashing in her eyes: "You mean to say that our Kuroba squad's application has been approved?"

The male officer smiled and said, "After this period of time, it has been confirmed that abyssal creatures of the eighth ring or above will not appear rashly. Therefore, the higher-ups have allowed each patrol team to resume patrol missions, including your Black Feather Team."

"This is your patrol pass, take it."

As he spoke, the male officer handed over several special badges, which were credentials that allowed the patrol squad soldiers to freely enter and exit the various underground passages.

The Abyss will actively attack humans, and humans can also actively attack the Abyss Plane. Ruthless Douluo once entered the Abyss Plane and killed an Abyss Emperor who had reached the top 36 levels.

As long as you have the Abyss Badge, you can directly cross the spatial passage to the Abyss Plane. This is also the way that each patrol team frantically earns contribution points, but the process is extremely dangerous. Without exception, the warriors who dare to join the patrol team are the elite of the elite.

Kuroba accepted the badge and was about to leave.

The male officer suddenly said, "Your squad is experienced, but I still need to remind you that the space inside and outside the abyss passage to the 36th floor is very unstable. If you accidentally encounter a powerful abyss creature attack, be careful not to get lost when you retreat, otherwise it will be difficult for rescue to arrive in time if you encounter danger."

Kuroba nodded solemnly: "I understand."

"Good luck to you," the male officer said in a deep voice, then clenched his left fist and pressed it against his right chest.

The female officer in black saluted and then strode away.

As she walked through the crowd, a hint of coldness flashed in Hei Yu's dark eyes, but suddenly, a few words from the person beside her made her stop abruptly.

Several officers were chatting animatedly on the rest seats.

"Have you heard? Nan Liujing, who received the War God Medal, came to report to our Blood God Legion today."

"Is that Nan Liujing, the one who can absorb the energy of the abyss?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Good heavens, with his help, wouldn't we be able to kill abyssal creatures and never have to worry about them being resurrected again?"

"That's right. I heard from the captain that Nan Liujing has joined our Blood Master's Special Operations Department. He plans to take advantage of the fact that the main abyss passages are sealed and the top abyss emperors can't escape, and slaughter a wave of abyss creatures coming out of the middle and lower levels of the abyss passages. When his strength increases in the future, heh, I'm afraid those abyss emperors above the 36th level will just be lambs to the slaughter."

The officers were talking excitedly, which even attracted the attention of other officers walking around. Soon, a group of people gathered together to discuss the matter, making quite a scene.

Kuroba remained silent, walked away, and a strange smile slowly appeared on his lips.
