He hastily said, "Commander let me explain. I know Sima Jinchi as well. We've fought against each other in the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge before. He's one of the most outstanding people among the younger generation of the army and an officer in the Southern Army Corps. I don't think he's an evil soul master either. I've felt his martial soul before, it's somewhat similar to mine. I ask you to please show mercy. Let us at least investigate this thoroughly before making any decisions."
The Bright Mirror Douluo's eyes beamed."Investigate? As it is, I'm already busy enough with the internal investigation of the army. You should know how perilous of a situation we were in, on that day. If it weren't for the evil soul master spies that infiltrated our ranks, the army wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. I'd rather be safe than sorry here. I don't have time to investigate some nobody."
Tang Wulin was at a loss for how he should go about continuing the conversation. This was because the greatest loss they suffered was before Blood Gods Great Array was activated and the abyssal passage was suddenly opened. In other words, it was in the earlier moments of the great battle. As for the latter parts of it, only Blood Nine had almost lost his life, but he was still saved by him. They did not seem to have suffered any other losses after that.
However, he could not possibly expose Zhang Huanyun now. He could only continue."Commander, I can vouch for him. He's definitely not a spy. I once again ask you to have mercy. I'm willing to exchange my contributions for his case to be investigated thoroughly."
Zhang Huanyun coldly looked at him and snorted."Very well then. Since you're willing to compensate with your contributions, that means you'll forfeit your chance of being promoted to a lieutenant general. These two can be spared from the death penalty, but they must be punished for trespassing. Lock them back up in the confinement room. We'll decide on the punishment later."
A Ruheng stared with his mouth agape. He had thought that the entire ordeal would be settled. Now it seemed that it was highly likely that they would still be punished.
Tang Wulin gave him a reassuring look. When Sima Jinchi walked past Tang Wulin, he whispered, "Thank you!"
Although it was only two words they were full of emotion at the moment. If it were not for Tang Wulin, he would have been long dead. He had saved his life today.
Tang Wulin sighed and lightly nodded towards him.
A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi were brought away. Zhang Huanyun's killing intent faded away. He waved toward Tang Wulin and said, "Go back to your cultivation. We'll release them when you leave. We'll not polish these two hotheads anymore. Even if we do, they won't become outstanding talents."
Tang Wulin's forehead was wet with sweat. That was some polishing. It was comparable to the Demon Island already.
Seven days later, Tang Wulin finally ended his meditation and accumulation with a long skyward roar. He successfully departed from his closed cultivation state.
He was in no hurry to leave. He spent another ten days in forging all the metals he needed in his own workshop, including the metals he would use to build his mecha.
For the building of his mecha, he had requested that the army's mecha makers build it. He would retrieve it in the future. As for his battle armor, he did not request the army's mecha makers to craft it. The rare metals he prepared for his three-word battle armor this time were mostly Soul Refined and were products of fuse forging many other metals. When his battle armor was crafted, he would have to be by its side to support the process. If he was not present, this battle armor would not be crafted suitably. That was why he decided to carry the prepared metals with him. When the time was right, he would build his battle armor.
When Tang Wulin saw A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi again, the two of them had slimmed down. Actually, there was no way they would not slim down. They were only fed with some weak vegetable broth every day. They had not even consumed any dry food these few days. It would have been weird if had not slimmed down.
The entire experience gave A Ruheng a strong urge to cry when he saw Tang Wulin again.
Zhang Huanyun had officially decided the punishment for them. They would be stationed as Tang Wulin's guards for three years. At the same time, a remote-controlled explosive collar was placed around each of their necks. They were made with the latest technology. It was virtually impossible to remove them without the key and password. If they tried to force it open, it would explode immediately. Even A Ruheng's body could not possibly withstand an explosion of its magnitude.
Tang Wulin was speechless. The commander surely had some sleepless nights thinking of how he could torment these two.
Other than the two of them, there were also others who followed Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin's good friend Overlord Dragon soul master Jiang Wuyue, Iron Blood Battalion's chief Titan Ape soul master Ma Shan, Icy Snow female soul master Long Yuxue, and Tang Wulin's mecha teacher, Ling Wuyue.
These people were all elites among the Blood God Army's younger generation, especially Ma Shan. Although he was still unable to break through to the rank of a Title Douluo, with Tang Wulin's help in forging he had finally completed his three-word battle armor. He was at the epitome of a Strength-type soul master. He was always the main combat personnel in the army.
More importantly, these people were the most familiar ones to Tang Wulin.
The four of them with the addition of Gale Saber Demon Sima Jinchi and Strength God A Ruheng, this lineup could definitely be described as extravagant. Although there was no Title Douluo among them, many of them had cultivation bases that were not inferior to Title Douluos.
Other than that there were another twenty Blood God Army warriors. They all had cultivation bases of a six-ringed Soul Emperor or higher and were two-word battle armor masters. At the same time, they were black mecha masters too.
If this combat strength were to be placed in an ordinary army, they would have made up the entire army's collective high-end combat strength by themselves. However, they were currently Tang Wulin's unit. They were given the name Blood Dragon Unit by Zhang Huanyun.
Tang Wulin included, they numbered twenty-seven strong soldiers.
The twenty warriors were handpicked by Blood One himself. Other than their individual combat strength their martial souls were more or less related to dragons. In other words, they would be affected by Tang Wulin's Dragon Might and Golden Dragon Rage Domain.
As Tang Wulin's companion, this influence would definitely be positive for them.
When Tang Wulin saw two rows of black mechas lined up neatly before him awaiting his orders, his eyes could not help but redden. The army truly spared no effort for him. Although the core of Blood God Army was still the Blood God Battalion with the commander Zhang Huanyun and the other twenty or so Title Douluos, the ones who would leave with him was the future of the army!
It could be seen as Zhang Huanyun and Blood One entrusting the Blood God Army's future to him. This friendship no longer had a need for words.
Tang Wulin hammered his chest with his right fist. He reverently saluted the two Limit Douluos before him.
Zhang Huanyun, Blood One, and the other Blood Gods behind them saluted him as well.
Initially, there were some among Blood God Battalion's Blood Gods that had wanted to leave with Tang Wulin. The most worked up among them were Blood Eight and Blood Nine. Blood Nine's life was equivalent to a gift given by Tang Wulin.
However, someone had to guard the Blood Gods Great Array at the abyssal passage. Blood God Battalion could not leave this place on a whim. They had no choice but to stay behind.
"Wulin, take care. You have my thanks. When I have a successor, I'll surely join your Blood Dragon Unit, " Blood Nine gave Tang Wulin a great hug. His words were filled with determination as well.
Tang Wulin nodded strongly."You're welcome anytime."
"Senior Blood One, commander, I promise you as long as I'm alive I'll bring back all men I've taken with me, " He said with a deep voice.
When they heard his words the personnel in the Blood God Army were touched. Only A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi had complaints in their hearts.
'Who wants to come back? Who would ever want to come back? We don't! We're never setting foot on this wretched place again!'
Blood One said with a deep voice, "The most important thing is you staying alive. Because your life is no longer your own. Your life belongs to the entire army, the entire human race. Do you understand?"
Tang Wulin himself could be regarded as the divine tool used by humans against the abyssal plane. No matter what he could not be put in danger.
