The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

With Ba Qi's strength, when facing the full-force attack of that alien Marquis Immortal, whether he stood and withstood it or dodged it with absolute speed and agility, he would have revealed a strength far exceeding that of a high-level Immortal Military Lord.

Therefore, he preferred to show that he had a powerful suit of armor protecting him.

On the one hand, this allows them to continue to conceal their true strength.

On the other hand, it also allows him to see if his teammates have any ulterior motives, and if so, what methods they might use.

It's important to know that while killing each other is forbidden within the same faction, violators will be severely punished.

However, there are still many ways to circumvent this in battlefields outside the region.

Ba Qi wanted to see how his teammates would react once he revealed his precious armor.

"I'll just treat this as a way to relieve my worries and boredom during my time practicing the 'Beast God Transformation'," he thought to himself.

Originally, Ba Qi needed to accumulate military merits to regain his freedom.

That's why he readily followed this team to the inner region.

The reason why he did not immediately unleash his true combat power to directly kill the alien powerhouses and earn military merits as quickly as possible, but instead chose to hide his strength and act as bait to kill the aliens with Yuri's team, is because Ba Qi's fourth level of "Beast God Transformation" with a 16-fold divine body amplitude still needs some time to be fully mastered.

Before mastering the 16x amplitude technique, Ba Qi planned to stay with Yuri's squad and was not in a hurry to regain his freedom and head to the core.

"Haha, Heavenly Emperor, you truly are a master of disguise!" Captain Yuri, his face beaming, looked at Ba Qi and said, "For a high-ranking Immortal Army Lord to possess such armor is truly remarkable!"

"Was this armor a gift from your family, or a gift from your teacher?"

Upon hearing Captain Yuri's words, everyone turned to look at Ba Qi.

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi remained calm, but inwardly he chuckled, realizing that the other party's words were clearly a test of his background.

"This armor of mine was not a gift from anyone," Ba Qi shook his head, a hint of smugness in his tone. "Speaking of which, I was incredibly lucky. This armor was given to me in a mysterious place..."

He deliberately fabricated a story about how he was lucky enough to obtain the armor.

After hearing Ba Qi's words, Captain Yuri and the others had smiles on their faces, but their thoughts were all different.

"The armor was obtained by accident. So, this kid is just lucky. His background is probably just average." That's what everyone guessed.

"Hmm, let's not talk about the armor anymore." Suddenly, Ba Qi changed the subject and looked at Captain Yuri. "In that battle just now, the military system awarded me a total of 80 billion military merits."

Upon hearing this, the seven peak immortal military lords immediately showed expressions of envy.

After all, killing a peak Immortal Lord on your own only earns you 10 billion military merits.

In other words, Ba Qi did not kill a single enemy in that battle, but he still gained the military merit of killing eight peak immortal military lords on his own!

"The military system distributes military merits according to contributions, which has always been very fair," Captain Yuri nodded. "This 80 billion is what you, Emperor, deserve."

In the battle just now, the four peak immortal military lords of the alien race were killed by everyone working together, so the total of 40 billion military merits were basically divided equally.

However, the fall of that alien high-ranking Marquis Immortal was mainly due to the captain Yuri and the vice-captain "Scorpion" both Marquis Immortals frantically burning their divine power, which annihilated the opponent's divine body to the point that he had no choice but to self-destruct.

Therefore, the 1000 billion military merits obtained from killing a high-ranking Marquis Immortal were basically divided between Captain Yuri and Vice Captain "Scorpion".

As for the other seven peak immortal military lords in the team, although they participated in the entire battle, each of them ultimately obtained no more than 2 billion military merits, which was much less than Ba ​​Qi's.

After all, Ba Qi made significant contributions in the battle just now, whether it was initially acting as bait or later enraging several alien immortals to the point of being willing to perish together to attack him, thus creating opportunities for others to take action. This was all recorded and evaluated in detail by the military system.

"I've already earned my military merit, but shouldn't you give me the 20% of the spoils you promised me, Captain?" At this moment, Ba Qi smiled and looked at Captain Yuri.

Upon hearing this, Yuri smiled slightly and nodded directly, "Of course, I keep my word."

The next moment, he began to calculate the value of the spoils in front of everyone.

"This time we killed a high-ranking Marquis Immortal from another race and four peak Immortal Military Lords. The total value of the spoils is approximately 3000 million Chaos Units."

Generally speaking, the total wealth of a peak Immortal Army Lord is around 100 million Mixed Yuan Units, while that of a high-ranking Marquis Immortal is around 1500 million Mixed Yuan Units.

However, the strong in the outer battlefields are generally wealthier because they earn military merits.

"According to the rules, Heavenly Emperor, you are entitled to 600 million Chaos Units this time!" Captain Yuri said. "Do you want the supplies directly, or will you pay by bank transfer?"

Ba Qi smiled slightly, "Transfer the money."

Captain Yuri nodded, and then transferred 600 million Chaos Units directly to Ba Qi through the virtual universe bank account.

Next, the others also received their share based on their contributions.

However, compared to Ba Qi, the seven peak immortal military lords gained far less, each receiving only a little over 1 million mixed units.

"It seems that joining the team back then was indeed a wise choice." Ba Qi said with a smile, looking at everyone, "My military merit is 100 billion mixed units, and I have already earned 80 billion."

"Once I wipe out another alien squad, I'll be free again!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Yuri was startled, and the others also changed their expressions slightly.

"Heavenly Emperor, you wouldn't be thinking of going on your own once you've earned 100 billion military merits, would you?" Captain Yuri asked Ba Qi.

"That's right." Ba Qi nodded.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" the vice-captain "Scorpion" quickly asked. "You'll earn military merits much faster and more reliably by coming with us than by going alone. Why risk being a lone wolf?"

"yes!"

"Absolutely unnecessary!"

"Heavenly Emperor, don't do anything foolish!"

The other seven immortal military leaders also quickly began to persuade him.

"Haha, sorry, I still prefer to be free," Ba Qi laughed.

Upon hearing this, Captain Yuri's expression grew increasingly anxious, but before he could speak, Ba Qi interrupted him directly.

"There's no need for you all to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. Once I've accumulated 100 billion military merits, I will leave the team. Let's part ways amicably."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked disappointed.
