Buying Secret Manuals

The next morning.

"Son, be careful out there."

"Take care of yourself."

Under his family's watchful gazes, he set off for Jiangnan Base City.

Xu Xin and the others had originally wanted to come see him off, but Xu Feng had refused.

In his family's home theater in Mingyue Community, Xu Feng logged into the House of Extremes.

After verifying his fingerprint, Xu Feng's personal information appeared on the massive screen, with a handsome photo of him at the very top.

Below was his basic information:

Name: Xu Feng

Gender: Male

Address: Jiangnan Base City, Huaxia

Warrior Certificate Number: 413213320560815645

Level: Warrior level (Intermediate)

Contribution Points: 0

Currency Balance: 200000000 Huaxia Currency

At the top of the screen, a mail-shaped icon was flashing. Xu Feng clicked it open with practiced ease. There were two emails inside. He skimmed through their contents at a glance.

Mm, they were the same two emails Luo Feng had received. There was nothing more to say.

As a transmigrator from the 2020s of the twenty-first century, Xu Feng was more than familiar with this kind of webpage. He directly ignored all those miscellaneous, basically useless pages and headed straight for the core of the House of Extremes.

Online Store—Manuals—Attack Category

Just like the product pages on Taobao in his previous life, a string of attack-type manuals was arranged from highest to lowest rank.

"Against huge creatures like monsters, the force-bearing area of guns and swords is too small. Saber techniques are still more efficient. I'll choose the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. Besides, this manual combines saber techniques, movement techniques, and a guiding technique into one, so it saves me the money of buying a movement technique."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Feng entered the online store page and directly searched for the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

Soon, a photo of the physical manual and its price appeared on the screen.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Blade," Category: Saber Technique.

Evaluation: Ultimate Level.

Price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 50 billion Huaxia Currency.

Half-price requirement: Contribution Points must reach four stars.

Four-star Contribution Points meant ten million Contribution Points.

If Contribution Points were obtained through donations, then based on the exchange rate with Huaxia Currency, one would need 100 billion.

"As expected, for the strong, money is just a number." Xu Feng shook his head helplessly. "I can't afford the full set. I'll just buy it separately."

"Nine Heavens Thunder Blade," first seven levels—Price: 25 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 12.5 billion Huaxia Currency (half price). Requirement: Two-star Contribution Points.

Looking at the payment prompt on the screen, Xu Feng directly clicked confirm. When he saw the successful payment notice, he let out a light breath.

He had spent 12.5 billion in one go. He had never been this extravagant in either of his lives.

As for why he had not bought any Psychic Master manuals, it was because Earth simply had no orthodox cultivation method for them. Everything in the early stages had to be explored on his own.

"Luckily, the first manual purchase ignores the Contribution Points restriction, and my family also provided 15 billion as startup funds." Xu Feng secretly counted himself fortunate.

There were only two months left before he had to go to the Elite Training Camp. There was hardly any time to make money in the Wilderness Zone.

"Startup funds may seem like a lot, but I should still save where I can."

"I don't care about anything else, but if Thunder God's movement technique doesn't lead directly to the Intent level, I'll beat him up every time I see him in the future!"

Fingerprint scan—deduction.

Without saying a word, Xu Feng spent 12.5 billion on himself!

Spending someone else's money was truly carefree and satisfying!

After purchasing the first seven levels of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, Xu Feng began browsing the weapons and equipment page.

The A6 model Blood Shadow Saber cost 20 million Huaxia Currency at full price, or 10 million at half price.

An A6 weapon could fight most Advanced Beast General monsters without worrying about the weapon breaking. Buy it.

The B5 model shield cost 3 million Huaxia Currency at full price, or 1.5 million at half price.

It could likewise withstand an Intermediate Beast General. Although he did not plan to challenge Intermediate Beast Generals early on, no one could predict what would happen in the Wilderness Zone. Buy it.

The backpack and combat communications watch together cost 200,000 Huaxia Currency.

There was no need to say anything about those two.

The D6 Combat Suit cost 80 million Huaxia Currency at full price, or 4,000 Huaxia Currency at half price.

Something that could save his life could not be left out. Buy it.

Seven series throwing knives, full price: 3 million Huaxia Currency; half price: 1.5 million Huaxia Currency.

In the original story, Luo Feng had only just started out with beginner-level Mental Power and had planned to buy five or six of them. I'm not short on money, but I still need some backups. Bought them.

The total came to over 100 million. With the half-price discount for a Warlord-level powerhouse in the family, it was 69.7 million Huaxia Currency.

Adding the 12.5 billion for the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, there was still a huge chunk of money left... Having money really felt great!

Around ten in the morning the next day.

In the private garden of Xu Feng's home in Mingyue Community, a stranger arrived.

"Mr. Xu Feng, these are the secret manual and equipment you purchased. You can open them with your fingerprint."

Xu Feng accepted the two sealed alloy cases the man handed over, then ran his finger across the tops of both cases one by one.

"Beep!"

"Fingerprint verification successful."

An electronic synthesized voice rang out, and the two alloy cases opened.

One alloy case contained a book about a centimeter thick, along with two discs placed on top of it. The other, larger alloy case held several pieces of equipment.

"The Nine Heavens Thunder Blade and the full set of equipment are all here." Xu Feng looked over the items in the two alloy cases and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Xu Feng, please confirm that the items are correct. Once you have, please sign here."

The deliveryman smiled, though there was a trace of envy in his gaze as he looked at Xu Feng.

Ordinary martial artists could not afford the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

After confirming everything was correct, Xu Feng signed his name.

"Mr. Xu Feng, I trust you know the restrictions that come with purchasing a secret manual?" the deliveryman asked with a smile.

"I know." Xu Feng nodded.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew the rule that purchased secret manuals could not be passed on to others.

After the inspection was complete, the deliveryman left.

"Just this one secret manual, plus two discs, cost 12.5 billion Huaxia Currency." Standing in his garden, Xu Feng sighed with emotion.

"Creating secret manuals is still the most profitable thing. Take Thunder God, for example. The more people buy his Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, the more money he makes."

With a little calculation, it was not hard to imagine just how much Thunder God had earned.

However... for Thunder God, the founder of the Thunderclap Martial Arts School, money no longer held much meaning.

The training hall was brightly lit. Xu Feng, dressed in loose training clothes, sat cross-legged with a secret manual placed before him—"Nine Heavens Thunder Blade."

"I heard the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade is difficult to cultivate. I wonder exactly how difficult it is." Xu Feng opened the manual and began reading.

"Fast!"

The most eye-catching thing on the title page was the word "fast."

Just that single word made Xu Feng feel as though he were seeing a blade's radiance rushing straight at him, causing his heart to tremble.

One had to know that this was merely a copied version of the original Nine Heavens Thunder Blade manual. Yet even the copied handwriting, just that one word—"fast"—could make Xu Feng's heart shudder.

One could imagine how terrifying Thunder God, the creator of this technique, truly was.

Xu Feng turned the page and continued reading.

"Among all martial arts under heaven, nothing is unbreakable; only speed is invincible."

"When your blade becomes faster and faster, reaching the ultimate limit, you become invincible."

Seeing the bold, flowing handwriting, Xu Feng understood that Thunder God's words were filled with boundless confidence.

That was perfectly normal. Thunder God possessed the fastest blade in the entire world!

It also granted him the fastest speed in the world and the strongest physique. His martial artist rank surpassed Hong's!

It was only because Hong had comprehended a terrifying domain that he became the strongest person on the planet.

This also showed, from another angle, just how important comprehension was.

"Even Hong's ultimate technique, 'Annihilation,' is the same. His strongest move is also a strike that reaches the ultimate limit of speed. With one strike, heaven and earth tremble, and nothing remains unannihilated."

"The fundamental essence of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade I created can be summed up in one word—fast!"
