Chapter 966: The Unexpected Reward
Chapter 966: The Unexpected Reward
The familiar mechanical voice of the system chimed in, signaling the arrival of the next reward.
"Congratulations! You have randomly obtained a young divine beast!"
As the system announcement played, a small, snow-white monkey with fluffy fur appeared before Lu HaiKong, who instinctively reached out to catch the little creature.
The monkey, no bigger than a fist, had a pair of tiny eyes that blinked curiously, its gaze filled with bewilderment as it nestled in Lu HaiKong's hand.
To be honest, this little creature was adorable, but Lu HaiKong couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Among the ten options, the one in front of him was one of the least desirable choices.
While this little creature exuded cuteness and had exceptional innate talent, Lu HaiKong, even without using his Heaven's Eye ability, could sense that this little beast's talent might not be as exceptional as some others.
However, compared to the other options, the benefits this creature could bring to Lu HaiKong seemed relatively minor.
Of course, despite his initial disappointment, Lu HaiKong didn't show any signs of rejection. As the little creature appeared, he was just getting started with it, and the Third Princess, standing beside him, eagerly scooped it up.
Watching the Third Princess cuddle the bewildered little monkey, her face glowing with delight and love, Lu HaiKong's mood also improved.
Just as Lu HaiKong was admiring the Third Princess's joyful expression, the second task reward prompt appeared.
The familiar prelude of the system's voice, followed by the impending mechanical sound, caught Lu HaiKong's attention, and the system's capabilities never ceased to amaze him.
"Congratulations! You have randomly obtained a unique-level Martial Arts Skill!"
Upon hearing this system prompt, Lu HaiKong's expression became slightly complex, a mix of disappointment and anticipation.
Although this wasn't the reward he had hoped for, being teased by the system so often had increased his tolerance. His initial disappointment quickly faded, and he even started to look forward to the upcoming unique-level Martial Arts Skill.
The system was highly efficient in delivering the rewards, and as soon as the prompt appeared, it began the implementation process.
"The sub-dungeon reward is being processed, randomly selecting a Martial Artist from your command!"
"As a special reward for defeating the hidden boss, you have the power to choose from a random Martial Artist!"
"1. Historical Martial Artists, 2. Data-based Martial Artists, 3. Martial Artists with a strength of 80 or above, 4. Martial Artists with a strength of 90 or above."
"Number four!" Lu HaiKong almost instinctively made his choice without hesitation.
"Your selection of a random Martial Artist is complete, randomization officially begins!"
As this system prompt ended, Lu HaiKong's face showed a hint of embarrassment. Just as he felt this way, the system, as if it could read his mind, played a slightly tense melody, and even the BGM (Background Music) was tailored to the situation. The system was indeed too versatile.
In less than half a minute, a crisp yet deafening sound filled the air, signaling the result of the random Martial Artist selection.
"The randomly selected Martial Artist is confirmed as Pan Feng, who will receive the unique-level Martial Arts Skill!"
With this system prompt, Pan Feng, who had been minding his own business in the pure white space, suddenly glowed with a golden light, lifting him into the air.
"Well, I didn't expect the luckiest one to be this guy."
Lu HaiKong watched as Pan Feng levitated, a slight smile on his face.
To be honest, exceptional talent, and unique skills, Pan Feng had it all. Although he was a historical Martial Artist, he wasn't among the top-tier historical figures. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was depicted as being easily defeated by Hua Xiong.
However, over the years under Lu HaiKong's command, Pan Feng's strength had grown significantly. Not only had his strength reached 93, but he could now easily defeat Hua Xiong.
At the same time, Lu HaiKong's command had seen the rapid rise of many other exceptional Martial Artists.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and even the latecomer Zhao Er, all had become incredibly powerful. Not to mention the spear-wielding Zhang Liao, who was always ready for a fight, and the mighty Dian Wei and Huang Zhong.
Despite bringing Pan Feng along for this sub-dungeon, he hadn't shown any remarkable performance throughout the ten-day adventure, mostly blending into the background.
Title: The Rise of a Warrior: A Martial Journey
Chapter: The Golden Transformation
As the golden light enveloped Pan Feng, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. While Pan Feng had been somewhat inconspicuous, his potential was undeniable.
Pan Feng, upon his arrival, possessed two unique warlord traits: [Supreme General] and [Army's Might]. He was a rare dual-trait warlord, and his [Supreme General] was particularly formidable.
With these traits, Pan Feng became a valuable asset to Lu HaiKong's forces. After Lu HaiKong activated [Overlord's Dominance], Pan Feng's strength barely reached a hundred, but he hadn't had the chance to truly showcase his abilities.
Lu HaiKong was eager to see what would happen if Pan Feng acquired another unique warlord trait.
A few minutes later, the golden glow surrounding Pan Feng gradually faded, and he slowly descended from the air. Simultaneously, a system notification chimed in.
"Your subordinate warlord Pan Feng's trait [Supreme General] has been promoted to the unique level!"
"Your subordinate warlord Pan Feng's strength has increased, currently at 94!"
As Pan Feng landed, Lu HaiKong immediately checked his attributes.
Name: Pan Feng
Lord: Lu HaiKong
A6I9I1B0I0I8I7I6 version!
Loyalty: 93
Abilities:
Strength: 94, Intelligence: 45, Strategy: 50, Command: 76
Main Martial Art: Supreme
Main Martial Skill: Mountain Splitting Axe
Warlord Traits: Supreme General (Unique), Army's Might, Iron Defense
Lu HaiKong examined Pan Feng's traits, noticing that his Command had increased to 76, and he had even acquired the [Iron Defense] trait.
The [Iron Defense] trait was a result of Lu HaiKong's generosity during the battle at Domain City. Lu HaiKong had casually given Pan Feng a scroll of [Iron Defense], not realizing that he would actually learn this trait.
Indeed, it was this trait that helped ensure minimal casualties among Lu HaiKong's forces, even with the elite [Iron Blood] troops, they would have struggled to maintain almost zero casualties over the past ten days.
Lu HaiKong, intrigued by Pan Feng's traits, focused his attention on the newly promoted [Supreme General (Unique)] trait.
Supreme General (Unique): An active warlord trait that enhances the strength of the warlord or their lord by harnessing the power of their subordinate troops. The strength increase is theoretically limitless!
Reading the description of [Supreme General], Lu HaiKong was stunned. Especially the part about the strength increase having 'theoretically no limit,' this phrase directly caused Lu HaiKong's body to tremble with excitement. Was this trait a little too overpowered?
In reality, Lu HaiKong had been misled by the word 'theoretically.' He didn't pay attention to the word 'theoretically.'
Truthfully, while Pan Feng's trait was indeed formidable, it had its limitations. These limitations were twofold: soldiers and the warlord's body.
Although the strength increase was theoretically limitless, achieving such a feat was not an easy task. One wrong move could even cost their lives.
Of course, at this moment, Lu HaiKong, with his experience, was not easily fooled by the word 'theoretically.' He understood that the strength increase had its boundaries.
As Lu HaiKong reviewed Pan Feng's attributes, another system notification sounded.
"Your sub-dungeon rewards have been collected. You will be teleported back to your territory in three minutes!"
This notification snapped Lu HaiKong's attention away from the limitless potential of the [Supreme General] trait, back to the present. The dungeon rewards were satisfying, especially the [Elixir of Undying], which ensured Shi Zhi Cai's survival. Someone in Bingzhou had taken care of matters there, and Lu HaiKong's immediate concerns were temporarily alleviated.
However, Lu HaiKong's mind couldn't help but wander to the looming troubles awaiting him in Bingzhou...
