Meanwhile, the other girls were curious about what reward Su Ming would receive today and wondered if he would write about it in his diary.
But no matter how long they waited, nothing appeared, leaving them slightly disappointed.
"Did he get something useless again?" they thought. Little did they know, Su Ming was in his room, busy absorbing the energy from the Azure Dragon's essence blood.
Then, they suddenly heard the system's voice.
Ding! The heroines mentioned by name today are: Xiao Wu (32 times), Zhu Zhuqing (8 times), Ning Rongrong (9 times), Ye Lingling (2 times), and Dugu Yan (1 time).
Today's heroine mentioned the most is Xiao Wu. Congratulations! A critical hit has been triggered. Xiao Wu can select two techniques from the Navy Six Styles to learn!
The other heroines were not surprised that Xiao Wu won the prize again. After all, her relationship with Su Ming was the closest at the moment. Even Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't compete with her; the difference was too vast.
However, today's diary entry was different. The girls noticed the mention of two new names: Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan! Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were curious to know what these two women looked like.
Given the system's track record, they were sure they'd be beauties too! They'd find out when they went to the Great Spirit Arena in Soto City.
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, saw her reward and was thrilled. A critical hit reward after so long! She felt extremely lucky. Of course, it was all thanks to Su Ming. She decided she'd reward him next time! The thought made her blush a little.
Also, Su Ming had just mentioned the Navy Six Styles in today's diary, and now the system was offering them. Was it just luck or some behind-the-scenes manipulation by the system?
System: ...
Xiao Wu eagerly read through the descriptions of the Navy Six Styles.
First Style - Shave (Soru): A high-speed movement technique achieved by kicking the ground dozens of times in an instant to create immense force.
"Hmm, I don't need this one," Xiao Wu thought. "I can already teleport, and I also have the Wind God Leg technique. I don't have any trouble with high-speed movement."
Second Style - Iron Body (Tekkai): Tightens the muscles and controls blood flow to harden the body like iron, primarily used for defense.
"This is more suitable for defensive spirit masters. I already have my Invincible Golden Body, which is much better."
Third Style - Paper Art (Kami-e): By relaxing the muscles, the user can sense changes in the air, making it easier to evade enemy attacks.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "This could be useful!" This style reminded her of Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which was a powerful evasion technique. While Xiao Wu had both teleportation and the Invincible Golden Body, they weren't foolproof. If her opponent had a domain skill, her teleportation range would be greatly reduced. In those cases, a good evasion technique would be invaluable!
Fourth Style - Moonwalk (Geppo): By kicking off the air, the user can move mid-air, making it appear as if they are flying.
"I won't need this either," she thought. "Once my level increases, I'll be able to fly naturally."
Fifth Style - Tempest Kick (Rankyaku): A high-speed, powerful kick that generates a vacuum blade for long-range attacks.
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled. "This must be the Tempest Kick that Su Ming was talking about!" Not only did it rely on speed, but it also unleashed a vacuum blade. "With this, I'll finally have a long-range attack!"
Sixth Style - Finger Pistol (Shigan): A technique that hardens the fingers or uses Armament Haki to turn the fingers into a piercing weapon, capable of penetrating the human body like a bullet.
"This one isn't for me," Xiao Wu thought. "I'm more of a leg fighter, and using a vacuum kick in front of Su Ming seems more natural." She figured the Finger Pistol would be better suited for someone like Zhu Zhuqing, who had speed on her side. Combining this with her agility would make her incredibly deadly in battle.
Though Xiao Wu didn't quite know what a bullet was, she could guess it was a powerful weapon based on the description.
After weighing her options, Xiao Wu said, "System, I choose Paper Art and Tempest Kick!"
Ding! Congratulations to Xiao Wu for selecting Paper Art and Tempest Kick from the Navy Six Styles. The techniques have been successfully learned!
Xiao Wu immediately felt a mysterious power settle into her body, and knowledge of how to use both techniques flooded her mind. She already felt proficient in both, which amazed her.
At the same time, Xiao Wu wondered if the system could help her master the Wind God Leg technique just as quickly. But she quickly dismissed the thought. The system had already given her so many useful rewards—there was no need to be greedy!
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had been watching, couldn't hold back their curiosity any longer.
Ning Rongrong was the first to ask, "Xiao Wu, what did you get as a reward tonight?"
Xiao Wu, always happy to share with her friends, replied, "I was really lucky today! I got to choose two of the Navy Six Styles techniques mentioned by Su Ming! I found two that suit me well, and using them won't even raise Su Ming's suspicions."
She then explained the details of the Navy Six Styles to both of them.
Ning Rongrong was envious. "You're so lucky, Xiao Wu! You keep getting all these rewards. I wish I had some combat ability too; otherwise, I won't be able to protect myself."
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, was intrigued by the Finger Pistol technique. With her speed and ability to break through defenses, this skill could be devastating in her hands.
Xiao Wu comforted Ning Rongrong, saying, "Don't worry, Rongrong. Maybe one day, Su Ming will give you the Lingbo Weibu technique. Even though you won't have offensive abilities, at least you'll be able to run away!"
Then she teased, "If you interact with Su Ming a bit more and build up his affection for you, maybe he'll have a reason to give you something! After all, you already like him, so why not try making the first move?"
Ning Rongrong blushed. "Making the first move?" she thought.
Although she did like Su Ming, she wasn't sure if her feelings were strong enough to act on. Even if she wanted to, what could she offer him? Su Ming didn't seem to lack anything. Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could only offer him money, but Su Ming had probably already earned tens of thousands of gold soul coins from the system over the years. He certainly wasn't short on funds.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. Once Su Ming mastered the art of making talismans, he would need a lot of money to buy the necessary materials, right?
Ning Rongrong now knew how she could help Su Ming. She just had to wait for the right moment—once Su Ming was ready to start making talismans.
