I really am a Titled Douluo

After returning to the Ferocious God Legion, Blood Eight immediately headed for the scientists responsible for researching abyssal creatures...

Upon seeing his arrival, the researchers all stopped their work and looked at him with respectful gazes...

The Blood God held an extremely high status within the entire army!

The man at the front was the first to speak, "Blood God, may I ask what brings you here?"

Blood Eight replied indifferently, "I have come to give you something."

Then, he handed over a soul tool...

The man was confused and asked, "May I know what this is...?"

Blood Eight explained, "This contains specimens of the Abyssal Emperors, which should be of great assistance to your research!"

He and Xu Sheng had progressed from the hundred-and-eighth to the ninety-seventh level, and they had killed every Abyssal Emperor guarding each level, collecting their corpses as specimens!

If it had not been for the fact that his physical strength and Soul Power were depleted, he would have even wanted to continue advancing!

After hearing this, the man's cheeks visibly flushed with excitement, and he eagerly began to inspect the contents of the soul tool!

When he saw that the items inside the soul tool were indeed the corpses of Abyssal Emperors, he spoke excitedly, "These are truly the bodies of Abyssal Emperors, and not just one, but several—without a doubt, this will be of great help to our research!"

"Blood God, thank you..."

Before he could finish, Blood Eight interrupted, "No need to thank me, all these Abyssal Emperors were slain by a Colonel named Xu Sheng!"

She had no intention of claiming this credit for herself!

The man forced himself to calm down and pondered, "Even the Abyssal Emperor from the hundred-and-eighth level is worth six thousand Merit Points!"

That means they must award at least sixty to seventy thousand Merit Points to Colonel Xu Sheng!

Taking a deep breath, he said seriously, "Let's do this. Here are one hundred thousand Merit Points, and I hope, Blood God, that you will pass them on to Colonel Xu Sheng!"

One hundred thousand Merit Points—what did that represent?

It was enough to elevate a Lieutenant directly to the rank of Colonel!

Blood Eight took the one hundred thousand Merit Points and thought to herself, "One hundred thousand Merit Points! This must be the first time someone from the Blood God Army has received so much, right?"

Although she was already a Major General, she felt the weight of the item in her hand quite substantial!

Then, she nodded, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

It was only after her departure did the rest of the researchers regain their senses from the shock...

One of them asked, "Sir, was what you just said true? Is this soul tool really containing Abyssal Emperors?"

Another one looked doubtful, "The power of each Abyssal Emperor is at least above that of a Titled Douluo. How exactly did Colonel Xu Sheng manage it?"

"Killing so many Abyssal Emperors at once is simply impossible. Could it be that they're using other abyssal creatures to masquerade as Emperors?"

"I think these abyssal creatures were all slain by the Blood God himself and deliberately gave credit to the Colonel named Xu Sheng!"

Seeing this, the leader spoke word by word, "Firstly, I can certify that what is inside are indeed bodies of Abyssal Emperors, no doubt about that!"

"Secondly, whether these Abyssal Emperors were killed by the Blood God or the Colonel, it does not affect us. As researchers, we should focus on studying abyssal creatures! Do not get caught up in these irrelevant matters."

This statement was immediately affirmed by everyone, "Yes, Sir!"

...

On the other side, the Special Service Department!

Upon seeing Xu Sheng return, Tang Wulin said with a touch of grievance, "Teacher Xu, you are finally back, seeing you is truly a challenge."

Gu Yue also agreed, "Indeed, we've been waiting at least three to four hours!"

Xu Sheng looked surprised, "Is that so? I am truly sorry!"

As for Long Yuxue, seeing that he was unharmed, the worries in her heart also dissipated somewhat...

Following that, she asked with a serious expression, "Xu Sheng, what's the situation? That Emperor Mei..."

Xu Sheng glanced at her and explained, "It's been taken care of, but it was the Blood God from the Blood God Camp who acted!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yuxue sighed, "It's been resolved, that's good."

In the end, it still relied on the people of the Blood God Camp!

...

After it was all over, Dai Yueyan came to the outside of Emperor Dai's sleeping quarters...

Before even entering, he heard the incredibly heart-wrenching words of Dai Yun'er coming from inside, "Father Emperor, your health is getting worse. If this continues, it is very likely..."

Immediately after, the exceedingly weak voice of Emperor Dai Tianling followed, "Yun'er, don't worry, I'm still quite robust! I can at least hold on until Yueyan succeeds the throne! Cough cough..."

Dai Yueyan took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door...

"It must be Yueyan, come in!"

After getting permission, he pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Emperor Dai Tianling lying on the bed, already so emaciated that he was unrecognizable!

And standing beside him, Dai Yun'er with eyes reddened...

Dai Yueyan respectfully said, "Father Emperor!"

Upon the arrival of the former, Emperor Dai Tianling looked at Dai Yun'er, "Yun'er, step outside for a moment. I have some things to discuss in private with your brother!"

Dai Yun'er nodded slightly, "Yes, Father Emperor!"

After uttering those words, she signaled to Dai Yueyan, then left the sleeping quarters...

Only after she had left did Emperor Dai Tianling cough and say, "Yueyan, help me sit up!"

Dai Yueyan carefully propped him up, his fists clenched as he said, "Father Emperor, hasn't your health improved yet?..."

Emperor Dai Tianling shook his head, "I fear my time is running out..."

Before he could finish, Dai Yueyan immediately interrupted, "That's not true, Father Emperor, you still have to see me succeed to the throne!"

Emperor Dai Tianling only smiled...

He was well aware of his own health, and being able to hold on for another month or two was already a miracle!

Then he changed the subject, "Yueyan, I have heard about what you said in the great hall!"

Dai Yueyan was momentarily stunned, hesitant to say, "Father Emperor, then what do you think about my actions? Going to war with the Holy Spirit Cult could plunge the Xingluo Empire into an irreversible catastrophe!"

"The citizens of the Xingluo Empire would suffer an indelible blow!"

Only by putting oneself in their shoes could anyone understand the magnitude of the decision he had made!

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dai Tianling spoke seriously, "No... Yueyan, you did the right thing, the Xingluo Empire will not submit to anyone!"

"Furthermore, you are becoming more and more like a qualified emperor. Just on this account, I am already very comforted!"

"If the Xingluo Empire is fortunate enough to survive this ordeal, you will be an excellent emperor!"

Dai Yueyan's throat tightened, "Father Emperor..."

Emperor Dai Tianling's hands held his, softly saying, "In a few days, start preparing for the coronation ceremony!"

Dai Yueyan tried to pull away, "No... Father Emperor, you are still alive, how can I..."

Emperor Dai Tianling's tone gradually became stronger, "Yue Yan... this is your Father Emperor's last request. Do you intend to let me die with my eyes unshut?"

Dai Yueyan's heart trembled violently, "Father Emperor, I... I..."

After much deliberation, he still closed his eyes in pain...

"Father Emperor, I understand!"
