Fire Hammer Squad, True Nine-layered Thunder Blade

Chapter 13: Fire Hammer Squad, True Nine-layered Thunder Blade

Inside another, larger alloy briefcase were the backpack, telescope, and other auxiliary equipment he had purchased.

"Mr. Yang Wu, please confirm that the items are correct. Once you've confirmed everything, sign here." The staff member smiled.

After seeing that Yang Wu had purchased the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, the staff member looked at him with a trace of envy.

After all, the Nine-layered Thunder Blade was extremely expensive. Ordinary warriors could not afford it.

"The Nine-layered Thunder Blade and the ordinary auxiliary equipment are all correct." Yang Wu looked over the items in the two alloy briefcases and nodded in satisfaction.

After confirming that everything was correct, he signed his name.

"Mr. Yang Wu, you should know some of the taboos regarding the purchase of secret manuals, right?" the delivery man asked with a smile.

"According to the rules, I must remind you once... The copyright of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade secret manual belongs to its creator, Lei Shen!"

"As the purchaser, you only have the right to learn it, not the right to teach it. You may not copy, privately sell, or teach the Nine-layered Thunder Blade secret manual."

"Once you violate these rules, you will be hunted down by the combined forces of the Limit Martial Hall, Lightning Martial Hall, and other factions!"

Yang Wu nodded indifferently. Of course he knew the rules, and he had no intention of violating them.

Besides, he had no need to violate the rules in the first place.

Although he had purchased the Nine-layered Thunder Blade secret manual, what he cultivated was not the Nine-layered Thunder Blade.

Simply put, he had bought the Nine-layered Thunder Blade only to amplify it and obtain a stronger, yet easier-to-cultivate, force-exertion manual.

He even felt that after the Nine-layered Thunder Blade was amplified, Lei Shen might want to learn the new manual himself after seeing it.

Therefore, even if he taught the manual to others, Yang Wu would certainly choose to teach the stronger manual.

No one could stop him from teaching the amplified manual.

"Yang Wu."

Just as Yang Wu was preparing to take the manual inside and look it over, a familiar voice rang out.

Yang Wu turned around and saw that it was Chief Instructor Wu Tong.

"I just saw the staff from headquarters. You bought the Nine-layered Thunder Blade at Limit Home?" Wu Tong immediately spotted the four large characters on the cover of the manual in Yang Wu's hand.

"That's right." Yang Wu smiled.

"You... You actually had the heart to buy the Nine-layered Thunder Blade? This blade technique is very expensive!" A trace of disbelief appeared in Wu Tong's eyes.

"Anyway, it wasn't my money. The director gave me a free quota of one hundred million earlier," Yang Wu explained.

"That's good... But I've heard for a long time that the Nine-layered Thunder Blade is very difficult to cultivate." Wu Tong's expression grew solemn.

"I'll give it a try." Yang Wu shook his head slightly.

Whether it was the staff member or Wu Tong, both seemed to think that he intended to cultivate the Nine-layered Thunder Blade.

Indeed... With Yang Wu's talent as depicted in the original story, it would probably take him more than a year to master the First Layer. Buying the Nine-layered Thunder Blade truly was not the best choice.

But he had the Ten Thousand Times Amplification System. All he needed to do was amplify it into something easier to cultivate.

"Uncle Wu, I suddenly realized... Money really isn't enough," Yang Wu said with a complicated expression.

"And I plan to buy the Blood Shadow Battle Blade, throwing knives, combat uniforms, and other equipment at half price... So I'd like to trouble you with this, Uncle Wu!"

Among the warriors Yang Wu knew, the only one who might have enough Contribution Points to purchase equipment at half price was probably Wu Tong standing before him.

"Haha, it's a small matter. It'll be easy," Wu Tong said with a hearty laugh.

"Write down the names, models, quantities, and so on of the equipment you need. Come back and find me at this time tomorrow to collect it!"

"I almost forgot. The main reason I came here this time was to tell you something. The director has already decided which warrior squad you'll join."

"Come on. Follow me first and meet your future teammates." Chief Instructor Wu Tong smiled.

Yang Wu followed Wu Tong to the Limit Martial Hall.

Inside a reception hall on the second floor, Luo Feng and Chen Gu had already been waiting there.

When Luo Feng saw Yang Wu, a smile appeared on his face.

When Yang Wu saw Luo Feng, his eyes lit up as well.

With Luo Feng here, did that mean he and Luo Feng had both joined the Fire Hammer Squad?

Yang Wu knew the Fire Hammer Squad very well. In the original story, these warriors were quite willing to help Luo Feng, a newcomer. They were not like the Tiger Tooth Squad, which caused nothing but trouble.

"Yang Wu, let me introduce you. This is Chen Gu, the vice-captain of the Fire Hammer Squad. He's a Primary General-level warrior!" Wu Tong introduced him.

Yang Wu looked at Chen Gu. He was burly, with thick brows and fierce-looking eyes. At a glance, he seemed like a very warmhearted warrior.

"This is Luo Feng. You should already know him. The two of you have both joined the Fire Hammer Squad." Wu Tong smiled.

"Yang Wu, Luo Feng, I've already heard of your reputations as geniuses." Chen Gu patted Yang Wu and Luo Feng on the shoulders.

"From now on, you'll be running with our Fire Hammer Squad. As vice-captain, I'll naturally have your backs."

"But let me make this clear first. Our Fire Hammer Squad will indeed give you some opportunities to temper yourselves and help you adapt to fighting monsters."

"But first, you'll have to work hard yourselves. If you still can't adapt after the first mission... we'll have no choice but to kick you out of the squad."

"Understood." Yang Wu and Luo Feng nodded.

Warrior squads hovered between life and death. If there was a burden in the squad, it would have a major impact on everyone else.

After chatting for a while, Yang Wu and the others left separately, because today was not the day to set out for the Wilderness Area.

Inside the Training Hall of Yang Wu's home, he sat cross-legged in loose training clothes. The secret manual—Nine-layered Thunder Blade—lay before him.

Yang Wu flipped through the pages quickly. After briefly examining the first three levels of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, he finished reading them in no time.

[You examined the first three levels of the secret manual Nine-layered Thunder Blade. Would you like to perform a ten-thousand-fold amplification?]

[The ten-thousand-fold amplification of the first three levels of Nine-layered Thunder Blade was successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained True Nine-layered Thunder Blade!]

The reason Lei Shen's Nine-layered Thunder Blade technique was so powerful was that it relied on a unique method of exerting force.

For example, if an ordinary person swung a blade with all their strength, their maximum would be ten-tenths of their power!

But when a cultivator of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade struck, they used only seven-tenths of their strength.

At the same time, when releasing the First Layer of force, they would strive to make their body release even more force once again.

For example, the First Layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade involved stacking two layers of force, resulting in 1.4 times the power!

The Second Layer could release two additional layers of Hidden Strength, allowing it to unleash 2.1 times the power!

The Third Layer could release three additional layers of Hidden Strength, allowing it to unleash 2.8 times the power!

The Ninth Layer could release nine additional layers of Hidden Strength, allowing it to unleash seven times the power!

Even without mentioning the various drawbacks of the first three levels of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade he had purchased, mastering them completely would only result in a 2.1-fold burst of power.

But the amplified True Nine-layered Thunder Blade not only completed the Nine-layered Thunder Blade and eliminated its drawbacks, it also made cultivation much easier.

At the same time, the Hidden Strength burst of every layer had become much stronger.

For example, the First Layer of True Nine-layered Thunder Blade directly produced twice the power, while the Second Layer produced three times the power.

And so on. The 99th Layer of True Nine-layered Thunder Blade produced the ultimate hundredfold power!
