Chapter 288 Meeting with Gelong, Royal Fighting Team, Disbanded
"That's right, joining the army. I want to gain as much military power as possible within the next few years.
By then, when that incident erupts, we won't be fighting alone.
With an army, we'll have an extra layer of security!" Sun Yu said with a serious tone.
Actually, the real reason for controlling military power was also to facilitate Xue Qinghe's usurpation...
Dugu Bo looked at Sun Yu's serious eyes, his heart feeling quite complex.
"Alright, since you have this idea, then join the army.
With your strength, I believe you can quickly rise to a high position within the military!
It just so happens that Marshal Ge Long of the Empire and I are acquainted.
Do you want me to call him over to chat with you?!"
Sun Yu nodded slightly at Dugu Bo's suggestion.
Seeing Sun Yu nod, Dugu Bo led him to another quiet garden, where a burly man in military uniform was sitting alone, drinking in silence.
This person was none other than the one nicknamed 'Nine-Life Divine Dragon,' with the Spirit of Ya Zi Beast, and a spirit power level of eighty-nine, just one step away from a Titled Douluo—Marshal Ge Long of the Empire.
"Marshal Ge Long, why are you drinking alone?!" Dugu Bo said with a laugh, holding a wine bowl, as he looked at Ge Long, who was currently drinking by himself.
"Ah, it's Dugu Mianxia.
This old man greets you.
There's nothing I can do.
There are very few people here that this old man can tolerate.
If it weren't for the Royal Fight Team being the first team to win the competition in so many years, I wouldn't even bother to come here for some welcoming banquet.
It's so boring!"
"Hahaha!! Ge Long, you're still so straightforward!
But you won't be bored now, because I want to introduce someone to you.
He wants to join the army!" Dugu Bo said with a smile.
"Oh?! Someone you're introducing who wants to join the army?! Who is it?
This marshal doesn't just accept anyone!
Even if it's someone you've called, Dugu Mianxia, if I don't approve of them, I won't accept them!" Ge Long asked, his face slightly flushed.
"Hehe, if you don't accept him, that would absolutely be your loss.
Xiao Yu, come, this is Marshal Ge Long!"
"Junior Sun Yu greets Marshal Ge Long!"
"....."
Ge Long looked at Sun Yu, and his somewhat muddled consciousness instantly cleared by half.
Because the person standing before him at this moment was none other than Sun Yu, who had just been bestowed the title of Earl...
"Hehe, Earl Sun Yu, please don't joke around.
As an Earl, you can just enjoy your power and prestige in your fief.
Why bother joining the army and doing such hard work?" Ge Long looked at Sun Yu and spoke calmly.
In Ge Long's view, Sun Yu, as an Earl, wanting to join the army was nothing more than a way to gain some experience and then return to further his promotions.
And what Ge Long despised the most were these kinds of nobles.
Even though Ge Long knew that Sun Yu was Dugu Bo's son-in-law.
After all, among those in high positions like them, how many truly wanted to join the army and serve the Empire?!
Ge Long had seen countless such nobles over the years....
Listening to Ge Long's words, Sun Yu realized that Ge Long might have misunderstood something.
He then spoke seriously.
"Marshal Ge Long, I don't know if you've misunderstood something, but I can assure you that I absolutely did not decide to join the army on a whim.
I genuinely want to fight for the Empire!"
"That's right, Marshal Ge Long, Sun Yu has now reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and needs a larger stage to improve his combat power!
Perhaps the battlefield is a good choice for him!"
Ge Long looked at Sun Yu's serious eyes and couldn't help but believe him by three-tenths.
After all, Sun Yu was a true genius, and he also had Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, vouching for him.
If a military career could help Sun Yu's strength reach a new level, that would also be a good thing for the Empire!
Therefore, Ge Long felt that perhaps it was indeed worth letting Sun Yu try!
"Alright then, report to the border with me tomorrow!" Ge Long waved his hand, his tone slightly excited.
However, Sun Yu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Marshal Ge Long, I might not be able to report to the military camp so quickly!"
"Why?!" Ge Long asked with a slight frown.
"I want to undergo a trial of slaughter first.
Although there is slaughter in the military camp, for me, it's too slow..."
Upon hearing Sun Yu's words, Dugu Bo instantly stood up, startled.
He spoke with a grave expression.
"A trial of slaughter? Xiao Yu, are you perhaps thinking of going to Slaughter City?!"
Under heaven, the only places that could provide a trial of slaughter, besides Slaughter City, were the military camps.
Since Sun Yu wouldn't go to the military camp, there was only one other option left.
What, you said the Great Spirit Arena also has death matches?
Hehe, compared to fighting in the army, the death matches in the Great Spirit Arena could only be considered personal grudges.
"Slaughter City?! Are you crazy?
That's a place where people go in but rarely come out.
What if you go and can't get out?!" Ge Long was also startled to hear that Sun Yu actually wanted to go to Slaughter City to temper his killing intent.
He quickly tried to dissuade him.
One must know that while it was possible to leave Slaughter City, the number of people who could was extremely small.
If Sun Yu went in and couldn't get out, what would they do?
However, Sun Yu calmly replied, "Grandpa, Marshal Ge Long, don't worry.
I am confident that I can come out of Slaughter City...."
"You...."
Seeing Sun Yu's determined expression to go.
Dugu Bo suddenly didn't know what to say.
And looking at Sun Yu's serious eyes, a hint of guilt flashed in Ge Long's heart.
Such a dedicated young man, and he actually compared him to those useless nobles.
What a sin, what a sin.
In the end, under Sun Yu's insistence, Dugu Bo had no other choice but to agree.
However, it must be said that with Sun Yu's current strength of level sixty-two and his ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone skill, perhaps he really could fight his way out of that hellish place if he went to Slaughter City....
Soon, the welcoming banquet finally ended completely late into the night.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the sun rose in the east.
The members of the Royal Fight Team, who had only just fallen asleep, were all called awake by Sun Yu.
Although the competition was now over, years of cooperation and training had fostered a considerable unspoken understanding among the Royal Fight Team members.
As soon as Sun Yu called, they all left their beds and came down to the main hall of their team's dormitory building.
At this moment, Sun Yu was sitting in the main seat.
In front of him were four exquisitely crafted jade boxes.
Inside these jade boxes were the Immortal Herbs that Sun Yu had collected for Yu Feng and the others from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well overnight.
"Old Sun, why are you calling us up so early in the morning?
The competition's over, so let us sleep in for a few days!" Yu Feng said, yawning and looking sleepy.
Sun Yu chuckled at Yu Feng's groggy appearance.
"Hehe, starting tomorrow, you'll be on your own.
Even if I wanted to call you, I wouldn't be able to!"
