Chapter 617 - Reward (1/2)

“Reporting! Remaining members of the Green Skull Renegades have retreated. Authorities have been alerted to conduct a search.”

“Good. Return to base,” said Black One.

After he gave the order, three soul cars arrived quietly. Black One put his arm around Tang Wulin's shoulder, hooked his hand under his armpit, and helped him into his car.

As they walked past their fellow agents, they held their chests up and thumped their left chests with right fists to show grat.i.tude and respect.

Tang Wulin was hurt and looked awful, but he felt terrific, his blood still racing from the excitement. After all, it was his first mission. There had been a close call, but he had no regret; he had saved the day as well as himself.

Tang Wulin got in the car. With all the eyes on him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Black One had no mask on right now, but his face seemed not to have surprised any agents. “You really outdid yourself,” he smiled, looking at Tang Wulin. “You deserve a fine reward for saving your fellow agents.”

“I just did what I was supposed to do,” Tang Wulin replied.

Black One smiled again. “You are talented, and your reflexes are a great ability. Keep up the good work.”

“I will. Thank you, sir.”

From the surprised looks on the other agents' faces, it seemed Black One had never praised anybody before. At least not to their knowledge. Then they found his abnormal behavior understandable when they looked at the fact that White Three had saved everyone. Black One was thanking Tang Wulin for all of them.

When they returned to the Tang Sect headquarters in Star Luo City, Black One found a healing-type soul master to tend to Tang Wulin immediately. Then he collected all their badges.

A bright light flashed from the Tang Wulin's badge, and his file in the badge had been updated.

Total number of missions: 1

Total contribution points: 30,000

First-cla.s.s citations: 1

The data might seem simple, but there was more to it than met the eye. With 30,000 contribution points, he could buy another Tang Sect secret art.

There were in total six Tang Sect secret arts, and Tang Wulin already knew four: Mysterious Heaven Method, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Purple Demon Eyes.

He decided to buy the fifth one: Mysterious Jade Hands.

When the Tang Sect was first founded, it was famous for its hidden weapons, many of which were poisonous. The Mysterious Jade Hands could take one's hands' strength and st.u.r.diness to another level, leaving them hard as stone and immune to any poison.

The Mysterious Jade Hands might not seem like a very powerful technique, but things are not always what they seem; after all, it was one of the Tang Sect secret arts.

As for the Hidden Weapons Hundred Separations, after being improved by generations, it had already fused with the development of soul device technology. In fact, a large number of the soul devices manufactured by the Tang Sect were based on the soul circuits in the Hidden Weapons Hundred Separations.

Therefore, the Hidden Weapons Hundred Separations was the most valuable Tang Sect secret art; it was the priciest among all six. But Tang Wulin was a blacksmith and not a mecha maker, so this technique was of no use to him.

The benefit of a first-cla.s.s citation was even more extraordinary. It gave Tang Wulin the right to call as many as 30 Battle Hall agents to complete a mission as long as it was morally acceptable. 30 Battle Hall agents!

When Black One told him of this right, Tang Wulin was dumbfounded. I can ask 30 agents to do a job for me?! That's just amazing!

Black One didn't ask him his name. It was the rule of the Battle Hall. No questions asked, as long as the badge was real and matched his blood essence.
