Blood One did not skimp on his praise, "The handling of the Abyssal Tide was indeed well done by you and Jiang Qiyue, fending off the assault of the abyssal creatures with minimal casualties!"
If it weren't for their soul power ranks being too low, he might have even considered inviting them to join the Blood God Camp!
Long Yuxue was also praised until she felt somewhat embarrassed, "Commanding Officer, you flatter me, the Abyssal Tide that occurred in the B-level Abyssal Passage is far weaker than the real thing!"
Blood One revealed a smile, "No need to be modest, I do not praise people lightly!"
If the Blood God of the Blood God Camp heard this, he would surely roll his eyes at him!
Not for any other reason, but because Blood One was not only powerful, but also had a knack for motivational speaking!
After the two talked for a while, the door to the command room was pushed open, and Xu Sheng stepped in...
When her gaze cleared on Blood One next to Long Yuxue, she immediately recognized his identity...
Long Yuxue didn't stop either, taking the initiative to introduce, "Xu Sheng, you're here? This commanding officer is Blood One from the Blood God Camp!"
Blood One greeted her with a slight smile and outstretched hand, "Hello, I am Blood One from the Blood God Camp!"
However, his eyes were fixed on every move Xu Sheng made...
Xu Sheng, without changing her expression, extended her hand and gently shook his for a moment, "Hello!"
In the brief exchange of these two sentences, Blood One had already analyzed quite a bit, "Managing to remain composed in my presence, truly not ordinary!"
Seeing that Xu Sheng didn't falter, Long Yuxue breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Xu Sheng, this commanding officer came specifically for you, I shouldn't disturb you two here, take your time talking!"
Having said that, she turned and left the command room...
She was afraid that her presence would be inconvenient for their forthcoming conversation...
As Long Yuxue left, Xu Sheng sat down unhurriedly...
Blood One took the initiative to speak first, "I presume, Colonel Xu Sheng, that you are aware of the purpose of my visit today?"
Xu Sheng propped up her chin and chuckled lightly, "Could it be yet another invitation to join the Blood God Camp?"
She had already clearly rejected Blood Three's invitation once before, and had not expected them to be persistent enough to send Blood One in person!
Blood One did not deny it, but openly admitted, "Indeed, the previous invitation to you was hasty. Today, I am here to extend an invitation to you on behalf of the entire Blood God Camp!"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and spoke calmly, "If I were to join the Blood God Camp, what benefits could I expect?"
Thinking she was interested, Blood One affirmed, "Of course, by joining the Blood God Camp, you will enjoy extra resource supplies provided by the Blood God Army, and you won't be subject to order from any team other than the Blood God Camp!"
Xu Sheng pursed her lips lightly and said faintly, "Commanding Officer, you have been mistaken from the start. Why do you think these insignificant things would be attractive to me?"
Blood One did not expect those things to sway her and continued, "I know these things aren't attractive to Colonel Xu Sheng, but what if you could get the support of all the Blood Gods in the Blood God Camp?"
Xu Sheng seemed to hear something in this and her dark beautiful eyes flickered, "So you say... Commanding Officer, you hold the Blood God Camp in high regard, thinking it can be of help to me?"
Blood One's eyes became sharp, "That would depend on what you think, Colonel Xu Sheng!"
He had understood that there was only one way to entice Colonel Xu Sheng to join the Blood God Camp!
...
Not long after, Blood One returned to the Blood God Camp...
Upon entering the hall, he was greeted with the curious gazes of several Blood Gods...
Blood Seven was the first to speak, "Blood One, you're back? How did it go?"
Blood Five also chimed in, "Is Colonel Xu Sheng really as strong as Blood Eight described?"
Blood Three blinked her beautiful eyes, "Blood One, with your personal invitation, Xu Sheng must have agreed to join Blood God Camp, right?"
Seeing this, Blood One did not speak. Instead, he sat down on the sofa with a solemn expression and silently shook his head…
This made the Blood Gods somewhat puzzled!
Blood Two pondered, "By the look of it, Xu Sheng disappointed him?"
Blood Seven curled his lip, "I said it, didn't I? How could someone so young have reached the rank of Hyper Douluo or even Ultimate Douluo? It must have been Blood Eight exaggerating!"
Blood Four raised an eyebrow, "Don't be so sure, Blood One hasn't even spoken yet!"
Blood Three patted Blood One's shoulder, "Blood One, what exactly happened?"
Only Blood Eight remained silent, because she knew that Blood One must have been astonished by Xu Sheng's strength, which could be described as terrifying!
Blood One took a deep breath, looked towards Blood Eight, and said word by word, "Blood Eight is not wrong—Xu Sheng's strength is indeed not weaker than mine, even stronger, in fact!"
The Blood Gods' eyes widened, hardly believing these words were coming from Blood One...
Everyone knew his strength was just one step away from breaking through to Ultimate Douluo!!
As if expecting such expressions, Blood One gave a wry smile, "Although hard to believe, the fact remains true!"
He had offered a sparring match to Xu Sheng in hopes of persuading him to join Blood God Camp!
If he won, the other party would join Blood God Camp!
If he lost, then the matter would not be raised again, yet he would still provide assistance to Xu Sheng!
And the result? He was utterly defeated!!
Of course, it was not because Xu Sheng had beaten him severely!
But rather even with his strongest effort, he still couldn't touch him, and he could even clearly sense that the other party had only shown the tip of the iceberg of his true strength!
It was then that Blood Eight spoke with a trace of vindication, "Now everyone should believe what I said. Facing those Abyssal Emperors, Colonel Xu Sheng almost crushed his way through with an overwhelming stance!"
Blood Five immediately pretended to be guilt-ridden, "Blood Eight, we misunderstood you on this matter; let me apologize to you on everyone's behalf!"
Blood Eight's face darkened, her voice tinged with resentment, "Blood Five, you know that's not what I meant!"
Blood Five spoke mischievously, "Heh heh heh, it's just a joke!"
Blood Two, who had been silent all this time, cast an inquiring look to Blood One, "Blood One, what about the proposition of inviting Colonel Xu Sheng to join Blood God Camp?"
Blood One waved his hand dismissively, "No need, he's not someone our Blood God Camp can accommodate. As long as we draw his disciple, that Lieutenant named Tang Wulin, into Blood God Camp, the result will be the same!"
First, he would approach as Blood One, then reveal that he was also from the Tang Sect!
Presumably, the other party would not refuse then!
Blood Two sighed, "That's all we can do, what a pity such a powerful figure isn't willing to join our Blood God Camp."
Blood Three comforted in a gentle tone, "Blood Two, not everything can have a perfect outcome. Even if Colonel Xu Sheng does not join Blood God Camp, he's still an officer of the Blood God Army in name!"
"Should any unexpected events occur at the Abyssal Passage, I'm sure he would not just sit idly by!"
