Watching the former leave, Tang Wulin gravely said, "Gu Yue, why do I feel like this lieutenant seems very disappointed in us!"
Gu Yue also nodded slightly, "Yes, I felt it too, maybe it's because very few recruits can pass the evaluation with these two weapons!"
Otherwise, the lieutenant wouldn't have shown that kind of expression!
Tang Wulin sighed, "Let it be, since we're here, let's just follow and see!"
Soon, they followed the lieutenant to the center of the camp, inside a large building...
After entering the building, they finally got to see the soldiers of the Blood God Army...
But upon closer observation, one would notice that these soldiers were not ordinary privates; the military emblems on their chests were at least of a second lieutenant rank!
Clearly, everyone here was an officer!
These officers also noticed Tang Wulin and Gu Yue following the lieutenant inside, then quickly averted their gazes, showing no interest whatsoever...
Stepping into the elevator inside, the female major who had left earlier suddenly called out to them, "Lieutenant! Wait a moment!"
The lieutenant paused and then stopped, puzzled, "Major, is there a problem?"
The female major said sternly, "I will be responsible for these two's assessment, you can go back!"
The lieutenant glanced at Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, hesitating, "This..."
Should one say these two were just unlucky? To have caught the attention of the former!
To know, no one has ever passed an assessment supervised by the former!
The major raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem?"
"No, the assessment is yours to conduct, Major!"
Having said that, and giving a military salute, he turned and left...
Seeing this, Tang Wulin couldn't help but say, "Major, hello, my name is Tang Wulin, and this is Gu Yue!"
The female major glanced at him coldly, "Call me Sir!"
Tang Wulin awkwardly said, "Yes, hello, Sir!"
Gu Yue beside him, however, looked somewhat displeased...
She was just a major; the reason they respected her was out of courtesy!
But unexpectedly, the other person's pride was so great!
Seeming to have noticed Gu Yue's displeasure, the female major said coldly, "Hmm? Do you have a problem with me?"
Gu Yue restrained her expression a bit, indifferently saying, "No, Sir!"
"Ding!"
The elevator doors slowly opened, and everyone exited the elevator, then under the leadership of the female major, they entered another room...
Inside were a number of sophisticated instruments, especially the glass enclosures large enough to cover several people, which already revealed their purpose!
With a face of surprise, Tang Wulin said, "Is this... the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Their assessment was actually to be conducted using the Spirit Ascension Platform!
Gu Yue next to him showed no emotion, as the Spirit Pagoda Councilor, she was more than familiar with such a device!
A few traces of surprise appeared on the female major's face, but she still spoke in an icy tone, "Yes, have you been there before?"
Tang Wulin nodded, gravely saying, "Yes! Many times!"
The female major pursed her thin lips, "Since that's the case, I won't bother explaining how to use the Spirit Ascension Platform!"
With that said, she sat down at the control console of the instruments and started typing rapidly on the keyboard...
Quickly, with the sound of power flowing, all the instruments lit up, and the three glass enclosures also opened...
After completing all this, she spoke again, "Your task is quite simple, just protect me inside until the assessment is over!"
"A reminder, you cannot use Soul Power inside, only the weapons you've chosen earlier!"
Afterwards, nothing more was said as they quickly lay down in one of the glass chambers, "If you're ready, enter the chamber!"
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue exchanged a glance, and also entered their respective chambers...
As the glass covers gradually closed, their minds began to go blank,
...
By the time Tang Wulin and Gu Yue regained consciousness, they found themselves back on the snow mountain they had been on before...
As they lifted their eyes, the endless snow continued to drift, reducing the visibility in the entire space to less than five meters!
Then, with a flash of light, the female major appeared beside them...
Upon realizing the two had entered this space even before her, she frowned and said, "You two, how did you appear so quickly?"
These two fellows, they had entered before her!
Tang Wulin curiously asked, "Hmm? Does Spirit Pagoda differentiate between fast and slow?"
Gu Yue wanted to say something, but held back...
If she revealed the secret of the Spirit Ascension Platform, wouldn't that expose her identity?
The female major did not provide an explanation and instead pointed to the abyss nearby and said, "Jump down!"
Tang Wulin responded with an "Oh!" and without any hesitation, jumped into the black hole...
Since the space was virtual, even if one died, it was just a bit of backlash to one's spiritual power!
It wouldn't harm the real body in any way, so there was no need to be afraid!
The female major then turned her gaze toward Gu Yue, "You..."
But Gu Yue showed no indication of wanting to listen to her, her expression calm as she jumped into the black hole...
The ignored female major clenched her fist, noticeably displeased, "That guy..."
This was the first time she had been disregarded by a new soldier, and her pride was somewhat unable to accept it!
However, perhaps thinking of her former self, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, if they truly pass the assessment, then there's nothing to it!"
After speaking, she too jumped into the black hole...
In this manner, the three of them fell through the darkness, caught by a net midway which cushioned much of their momentum...
Having safely landed, what presented itself before their eyes was a massive cave with many holes large enough to allow an adult to enter!
The female major walked up to one of the holes and explained, "Once inside the hole, I might encounter danger at any time. As per our previous discussion, you need to do your best to protect me, and moreover, the final distance we cover will determine your score!"
"Of course, how you choose your positions is also up to you!"
Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, "In that case, I'll take the lead and find the path, Gu Yue will cover the rear, and our officer here can walk in the middle!"
The female major nodded, showing little surprise, as this was the best position that anyone could think of!
Gu Yue nodded without objection, "Alright!"
Her choice of weapon was a soul laser gun, which might be useless in a sudden situation, naturally, it was most logical for Tang Wulin to take the front!
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Then... let's move forward!"
Having said that, Tang Wulin released the Tang Sect Secret Technique, Purple Demon Eyes!
He proceeded cautiously forward, with the female major and Gu Yue following closely behind his pace...
