Chapter 3861: Chapter 3709
Watching the lieutenant leave, Tang Wulin said earnestly, "Gu Yue, why do I feel like that lieutenant seemed very disappointed in us!"
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "Yeah, I felt it too. Perhaps it's rare for new soldiers to pass the evaluation with these two types of weapons!"
Otherwise, that lieutenant wouldn't have shown such an expression!
Tang Wulin sighed, "Well, we're here now, let's just follow and see!"
Soon, they followed the lieutenant to the center of the camp, inside a grand building…
After entering the building, they finally got to see the soldiers of the Blood God Army…
However, upon close observation, one could tell that these soldiers were not ordinary privates. The insignia on their chests indicated that they were at least lieutenants!
Clearly, everyone here was an officer!
These officers also noticed Tang Wulin and Gu Yue as they followed the lieutenant in, and then promptly averted their gaze, completely uninterested…
As they stepped into the elevator, the female major who had left earlier suddenly called out to the group, "Lieutenant! Wait a moment!"
The lieutenant paused, then stopped, looking confused, "Major, what's the matter?"
The female major said sternly, "I'll be in charge of their assessment. You can go back."
The lieutenant glanced at Tang Wulin and Gu Yue hesitantly and said, "This…"
Was it bad luck for these two to be singled out by her?
It was known that no one had ever passed the assessment under her watch!
The major raised her eyebrows, "Is there a problem?"
"It's not that; I'll leave it to you then, Major!" said the lieutenant.
After saluting, he turned and left…
Seeing this, Tang Wulin couldn't help but address her, "Hello, Major. My name is Tang Wulin, and this is Gu Yue!"
The female major glanced coldly at him, "Call me superior officer!"
Tang Wulin replied awkwardly, "Yes, hello, Superior Officer!"
Gu Yue, standing beside him, seemed somewhat displeased…
Just a major, and they respected her to give her face!
But she didn't expect the other to be so arrogant in her heart!
Seeming to sense Gu Yue's change in expression, the female major said coldly, "Hmm? Do you have an opinion on me?"
Gu Yue toned down her expression and calmly replied, "No, Superior Officer."
"Ding!"
The elevator doors opened slowly, and everyone exited. Following the female major, they entered another room…
Inside were several precise instruments, especially a glass cover large enough to envelop several people, clearly indicating its identity!
Tang Wulin looked astonished, "Is this… a Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Their assessment was actually to be conducted using the Spirit Ascension Platform!
Gu Yue, standing next to him, didn't show any emotion. As a Spirit Pagoda Councilor, she was naturally more than familiar with such a thing!
A hint of surprise flashed across the female major's face, but she still responded in a cold voice, "That's right, have you been here before?"
Tang Wulin nodded, saying earnestly, "Yes! Many times!"
The female major pressed her lips tight, "Since that's the case, I won't bother explaining how to use the Spirit Ascension Platform!"
With that, she took a seat at the control panel of the instrument, rapidly typing on the keyboard…
Soon, with a sound of powering up, all the instruments lit up, and the three glass covers opened…
After finishing all this, she spoke again, "Your task is simple: protect me inside until the assessment is over!"
"A reminder, you won't be able to use Soul Power inside, you can only rely on the weapons you selected earlier!"
After that, they did not say much, quickly lying down into one of the glass capsules, "If you're ready, get into the pod!"
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue exchanged glances before each entering their own capsules...
...
While making their way through, a sudden rush of air came from ahead, and Tang Wulin, without any hesitation, gripped the metal rod in his hand and swung it...
With a "bang," he felt as though he had hit something, took a few steps forward, and then saw clearly the creature he had struck to the ground!
It was a bat around twenty to thirty centimeters in size, lying on the ground, its body convulsing continuously, and still emitting faint sounds from its mouth...
Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise, "Is this... a bat?"
For safety's sake, he gripped the rod again and directly struck at its head...
In an instant, the bat was smashed into a pulp, with black blood oozing from its body...
Standing at the rear was Gu Yue, who asked, "Wulin, what happened??"
Tang Wulin shook his head, "Nothing, just an ordinary bat!"
Hearing this, Gu Yue narrowed her Beautiful Eyes and said, "A bat?"
She had an ominous feeling in her heart...
Generally, creatures like these appeared in groups!
The Female Major in the middle had a slight smirk on her lips as if she already knew what they were going to encounter next, but she didn't seem to have any intention of warning them!
Tang Wulin did not stop and continued moving deeper...
Of course, they encountered several more bat attacks along the way, but they were all dispatched with a few swings of his stick, not hindering their advance at all!
Finally, after reaching the end, they arrived in an open cavern filled with dense holes on the walls, which made one instinctively go on alert!
"Wulin, be careful, something feels off about this place!"
The next second, it seemed that Gu Yue's voice had disturbed something, and all the pitch-dark holes released pairs of creatures with glowing green eyes!!
They were the same kind of bats that Tang Wulin had previously hit and sent flying!!
Roughly estimating, there were at least hundreds!
This made him swallow hard, astonished, "There are... hundreds of bats!!"
Seemingly disturbed, the bats all flapped their pitch-black wings and rushed towards the Female Major like a blanket covering the sky...
Tang Wulin's pupils shrank, as he quickly stepped in front of the latter, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track combined with Purple Demon Eyes to rapidly hit one bat after another!
The Female Major, seeing this ghostlike agility, exclaimed in surprise, "Is this... Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track? You are Tang Sect Disciples!"
But Tang Wulin, who was busily warding off the bats, chose not to reply!
As for Gu Yue, she remained very calm, raising her soul laser gun and pressing the button...
"Shoo!"
A dazzling ray burst out, piercing straight through the brains of a whole row of bats, causing their bodies to emit a strong smell of scorched flesh!
This scene also made the Female Major's eyes brighten, secretly thinking, "Such precise marksmanship! Just one shot has taken the lives of dozens of bats!"
Are these two really just new recruits?
Facing the sudden turn of events, they did not show the slightest panic; instead, they were too calm, as if they had absolute confidence in this assessment!!
Thinking this, and to add a bit of difficulty for the two, her Beautiful Eyes twinkled with a slight smile, and she charged forward...
Not forgetting to remind them, "Remember, your mission is to protect me!"
Seeing this, the corner of Tang Wulin's mouth twitched, but he still gritted his teeth and charged forward, blocking the bat assault for the Female Major!
