Although Lu Ning's reward for his merits was not as great as the one he received at Base City 121.

After all, that incident involved the reward for the Evil God's clone. If Lu Ning hadn't led Nan Yu and the others out of the underground pipe and hadn't spread the news of the Evil God's clone's arrival, then the Blood and Flesh Source clone would have completely descended.

At that time, the evil god's clone will greatly increase its strength by absorbing the flesh and blood of a few base cities, posing a huge threat to the entire Federation.

This situation only involves a single base city, No. 116, and even without Lu Ning, the base city's strength is sufficient to withstand it, although the losses will be relatively large.

Therefore, Lu Ning can obtain a medium-danger level soul weapon and some soul crystals as a reward this time.

Lu Ning ultimately chose to keep these merit rewards and accumulate them to exchange for high-risk soul weapons.

After all, with Lu Ning's current strength, even adding another mid-level soul weapon wouldn't bring about a transformative improvement.

On the fourth day after the beast tide ended, the Mist Exploration Team arrived at Base City 116.

Among the team members who came this time were some of Lu Ning's acquaintances.

The leader was Saint Qinglan, and Nanyu was also among the team members.

Besides the three of them, there were five other team members.

These members include men and women, young and old.

Lu Ning could feel the spiritual pressure emanating from them; each of them was a high-level Awakened One.

Even Nan Yu is the same.

Clearly, after leaving Base City 121, Nan Yu's strength improved again, rising from the seventh rank to the eighth rank, officially entering the ranks of high-level awakened beings.
