Chapter 3728

Tang Wulin shook his head and then asked the man driving, "Um... Brother, could you please tell us about the military region we're heading to?"

Speaking of which, they knew nothing about the military region they were going to. It was better to ask before they arrived!

Hearing this, the man looked surprised and said, "Didn't the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion from Shrek Academy tell you?"

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue exchanged a glance and both shook their heads...

All they knew was that they were heading to the Eastern Military Region!

The man sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Honestly, being assigned to the military region I'm from is not a good thing!"

Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed, "Why do you say that? Does this military region not welcome students from Shrek Academy?"

The man quickly denied, "No no no... It's not that. It's just that our military region, among the four major ones, has the worst conditions!"

"Not only that, but there are also no Tang Sect's or Shrek Academy's influences nearby! So life here is very tough!"

Back then, he also joined this military region on a whim, and thinking back now, he couldn't express how much he regretted it!

Gu Yue pondered, "If it's just a tougher environment, it shouldn't be as bad as you say, right?"

Tang Wulin nodded in agreement, "That's right. The harsher the conditions, the better the training we can get. If the conditions were too good, there's no need to join the military in the first place!"

They were here to join the military, not to stay in a hotel!

The man was stunned for a moment, then said with a sense of admiration, "If that's how you think and you can stick to it, you should be able to get substantial training!"

Then, he took a deep breath, "Both of you, hold tight. I'm going to speed up now, we still have a long way to go to the Eastern Military Region!"

Afterward, they bypassed Ming City and entered the Eastern part of the Continent. The road was relatively smooth and nothing unexpected happened...

However, after another three to four days, the scene before them was completely different!

It was a desolate Great Desert, with sand flying everywhere, making it hard to see more than a dozen meters ahead with the naked eye...

Sitting in the vehicle, Tang Wulin looked out of the window with a complex gaze, quietly swallowing his saliva, "This... this place is tougher than I imagined! It's actually in the middle of a desert!"

Gu Yue also said with a wry smile, "No wonder they said the Eastern Military Region doesn't have a Tang Sect branch and other influences. Who would build a branch in the middle of this vast desert?"

Hearing their conversation, the man glanced up at the sky and said, "It's getting late now. We still have about a day and a half's journey to reach the Eastern Military Region, so it looks like we'll have to rest in the desert for tonight!"

Tang Wulin said gravely, "Um... Brother, there isn't any danger in this desert, is there?"

He always felt that the desert under the night sky was eerily accelerating his heartbeat...

The man gave a meaningful answer, "There is and there isn't!"

Gu Yue then explained, "Because there are hardly any human-needed resources here, the development of the desert by humans is minimal, which has left a fair number of soul beasts around. So, we might encounter an attack, right?"

The man immediately showed a surprised expression and praised, "Not bad, I didn't expect Miss Gu Yue to be so knowledgeable about the Great Desert!"

Gu Yue replied calmly, "School... um, Teacher Xu once taught us this knowledge."

Tang Wulin looked doubtful, "Huh? Did Teacher Xu talk about this? I don't remember?"

Gu Yue glared at him, "You definitely weren't listening carefully!"

After speaking, they used Soul Guidance Supports to construct a temporary tent. Although rudimentary, it could withstand the sandstorm!

In the tent, Tang Wulin sat down next to Gai Yue, "Gai Yue, want something to eat?"

After speaking, he took out a wrinkled piece of dry ration from the soul tool and passed it over...

Gai Yue nodded, took it and gave it a quick glance, then began to chew slowly...

Though somewhat coarse, it wasn't as hard to swallow as he had imagined!

Seeing this, Tang Wulin also pulled out a piece of dry ration and started eating...

He then asked casually, "Gai Yue, can you tell me now why you joined the army with me?"

Back when they were at the academy, he had invited her to join the army with him, and she had refused quite bluntly!

...

On the other side, the glass capsule of the Spirit Ascension Platform slowly opened, and the consciousness of both Tang Wulin and Gai Yue awakened...

The former's face showed a trace of dejection, "If it hadn't been for the appearance of the Devil Charm and the need to protect the Female Major, that Ba An should have been taken care of by me and Gai Yue already..."

Gai Yue seemed to sense something as well, walked over and comforted him softly, "Wulin, although we failed, we did our best."

Hearing her words, Tang Wulin felt a bit better and nodded slightly, "Hmm!"

Then he noticed that the glass capsule of the Female Major was still closed and asked curiously, "Huh? Why hasn't the Female Major come out from the Spirit Ascension Platform yet? There couldn't be any accidents, could there?"

Gai Yue shook her head, "Impossible, we pressed the button at the same time, we should both have woken up by now!"

In the space created by the Spirit Ascension Platform, as long as the instruments and bodies in the real world are not destroyed, there is no danger!

While they were talking, the Female Major inside the glass capsule was frowning deeply, as if enduring great pain!

A few minutes later, her lips pursed, and she woke up with a start from her deep sleep, with lots of cold sweat trickling down her forehead...

And the glass capsule enshrouding her also opened slowly...

Tang Wulin immediately asked with concern, "Officer, are you all right?"

The Female Major first stepped down from the Spirit Ascension Platform, trying her best to appear calm, "I'm fine!"

But how could she be fine!

The moment she pressed the button, her consciousness hadn't ejected on time, so she experienced the agony of being torn apart by the Devil Charm and Ba An!!

After a pause, she spoke seriously, "About the assessment of you two..."

Tang Wulin answered with a wry smile, "Our assessment should be considered a failure, right? We didn't accomplish either the advancement distance or the protection task!"

Gai Yue also added, "After resting a bit, Wulin and I will leave the Ferocious God Legion on our own!"

This time, it could only be said that their luck was too bad. Just as they were about to take down Ba An, an even stronger Devil Charm showed up!

Without the use of Soul Power, how could they possibly win?

Unexpectedly, the Female Major disagreed, "No... I don't mean that. Although you failed your assessment task, based on your outstanding abilities in all areas and almost slaying Ba An, I will communicate with my superiors to try and keep you here!"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin hesitated and said, "This... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"

Could it be because he and Gai Yue had gone to all lengths to protect her in the space that the Female Major was mixing personal feelings into this?
