Drawing the Reward
Upon hearing the system prompt ringing in his mind, Ke Bei took a look at Luo Ling, who was standing gracefully beside him. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the urge to draw the lottery immediately.
"The Divine Race is dead. The mission of the Ningxing Squad can be considered completed, and it's time for me to go back."
Ke Bei's expression was somewhat desolate. When they came, there were seven people in the Ningxing Squad, but now, when going back, he was the only one left. Thinking that Gu Kun and the others would remain in Wushan City forever, a wave of grief welled up in his heart.
Ke Bei didn't want to stay here any longer. Gazing at the endless withered grass in the distance, after a moment of silence, he waved his hand at Luo Ling, stepped onto the dilapidated highway alone, and his lonely and desolate shadow was stretched very long by the setting sun.
Luo Ling silently watched Ke Bei's figure gradually being swallowed up by the withered grass. After a long time, she finally let out a long sigh.
"How many secrets are you hiding?"
"Is it that I'm not worthy of knowing, or do you simply not want to tell?"
Luo Ling slightly raised her head, and her cheeks were illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun, so beautiful that it made one's heart flutter. However, at this moment, there was a helpless bitter smile on this peerlessly beautiful face.
"Perhaps it's both."
Luo Ling turned around somewhat dejectedly, and her graceful figure gradually disappeared into the endless wilderness area.
After leaving Wushan City, Ke Bei ran for more than ten kilometers in one go, calculating various things in his mind. First, he had to go to the barracks of the Guardian Squad to hand over the mission that the Ningxing Squad had taken on this time. Then, he needed to sell the Divine Pill and use the money to compensate the families of Gu Kun and the others.
After that, Ke Bei didn't have many plans in his mind. Now that he was the only one left in the Ningxing Squad, he didn't know whether he should join another Guardian Squad or continue to stay in the Ningxing Squad.
If he joined another Guardian Squad, the Ningxing Squad would be cancelled, and all the efforts that Gu Kun had put in throughout his life would be in vain. If he chose to stay, then Ke Bei would face two problems.
Firstly, the Ningxing Squad was a second-star Guardian Squad, and there had to be at least one person at the peak of the Third-level Strong. Secondly, the personal contribution value had to reach the second-star level.
It was relatively easy to reach the peak of the Third-level Enhancer in terms of strength, but the second-star contribution value was a bit difficult. The contribution value for the first star required 10,000 red crystal coins, and the second star required 100,000.
Although Ke Bei now had a Divine Pill worth 100,000 crystal coins on him, he couldn't hand over this money to the base city in exchange for contribution value. This money was for the families of the members of the Ningxing Squad.
The Guardian Squad was audited once a month. If, as the only member of the Ningxing Squad, Ke Bei's personal contribution value couldn't reach the second-star level after a month, then the Ningxing Squad would be cancelled.
"100,000 red crystal coins, and there's still a month's time..."
The Ningxing Squad was established by Gu Kun. He had paid countless efforts to gradually develop it into a second-star squad. Ke Bei didn't want Gu Kun's efforts to go to waste.
He wanted to stay in the Ningxing Squad. With Ke Bei's current strength, it wasn't hopeless to earn 100,000 crystal coins in a month.
"Don't think so much. Let's draw the reward first."
Ke Bei shook his head, took a deep breath, temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and concentrated on entering the system in his mind.
The disc with eighteen grids still only had six grids shining with golden light, and the rest were still gray, looking the same as the previous few times.
"Hunyuan Palm, Kongming Fist, Bibo Palm, Ling'ao Step, Lingbo Weibu, the First Volume of the Nine Yang Divine Art."
His eyes quickly swept through the six grids, and Ke Bei's eyes became brighter and brighter. The six martial arts techniques that appeared this time were all very good. The moment he saw the Nine Yang Divine Art and Lingbo Weibu, Ke Bei almost drooled.
Once he learned the Nine Yang Divine Art, even if it was just the first volume, his internal energy would surely be quite strong. At that time, with the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Art, he could shoot out the Li Xiao's Flying Dagger, and that would be the real "never missing a shot" and "invincible".
Lingbo Weibu was an excellent top-notch movement technique. Ke Bei now had strength, but what he lacked was a movement technique. Once he learned Lingbo Weibu, even if he was deeply surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies, he could leave calmly. The most crucial thing was that Lingbo Weibu could still exert its power even without internal energy.
"The first choice is the Nine Yang Divine Art, and the second choice is Lingbo Weibu."
Ke Bei stared at the silver dot on the disc and silently prayed in his heart.
"Start the lottery draw."
With a thought, the silver dot quickly moved among the golden-gridded areas.
"Nine Yang Divine Art, Nine Yang Divine Art."
"I want the Nine Yang Divine Art."
Ke Bei's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the silver dot.
Slap
Ke Bei slapped his own thigh hard. Watching the silver dot appear in the grid where the Nine Yang Divine Art was located, and then slowly slide to the next one, Ke Bei really wanted to slap the silver dot and nail it firmly in the grid of the Nine Yang Divine Art.
"Damn it."
The Nine Yang Divine Art passed by. Ke Bei glanced down and it turned out to be the Hunyuan Palm.
"Go, go, don't stop."
Ke Bei stared fixedly at Lingbo Weibu, which was below the Hunyuan Palm.
The speed of the silver dot was getting slower and slower. It seemed that it was about to stop completely, but it was still about an inch away from Lingbo Weibu.
"Go for me."
Ke Bei roared with red eyes.
Now what he lacked the most was internal energy and movement technique. The Nine Yang Divine Art was naturally the best choice, but he had already missed it. Now the only thing he desperately hoped to get was Lingbo Weibu.
Perhaps Ke Bei's roar worked, or perhaps the system sensed the eagerness in Ke Bei's heart. The silver dot actually moved slowly again.
"Congratulations, host. You have drawn Lingbo Weibu. Do you want to learn it immediately?"
Upon hearing the system's prompt, Ke Bei suddenly widened his eyes. Then a wave of ecstasy washed over him.
"Haha, I got it."
"Learn it."
As soon as Ke Bei finished speaking, a stream of light poured into his mind, and in an instant, Ke Bei completely mastered Lingbo Weibu.
"Let's give it a try."
There was an eager smile on Ke Bei's face. He suddenly took a step forward, moving with a somewhat strange gait, his body swaying unsteadily. With one step, he actually moved ten meters in an instant.
"Damn, it's amazing."
There was an incredulous smile on Ke Bei's face as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Lingbo Weibu, haha, what else should I be afraid of with Lingbo Weibu?"
"The Divine Race? It's nothing at all."
Thinking of the frustration when he couldn't even touch the strange man during the battle just now because of his speed, Ke Bei now felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure.
If he met a junior member of the Divine Race again, Ke Bei could catch up with it in an instant by using Lingbo Weibu. Coupled with his current strength and the sharpness of the broadsword, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with a junior member of the Divine Race.
"Go back first."
Ke Bei moved his steps, his body swaying strangely. It seemed unsteady, but his speed was at the limit. A series of afterimages flashed by, and Ke Bei had already appeared a hundred meters away.
"The Ningxing Squad will always exist!"
Ke Bei stopped, took a deep look in the direction of Wushan City, and said silently. It seemed like he was talking to himself, and also like a promise to Gu Kun's soul.
