"We'd like to take a look at the improved Force Application Technique of your Nine-layered Thunder Blade. If you have any conditions, just state them." Lei Shen's gaze burned like torches.
"As long as it's within our power, we'll definitely satisfy you."
To Hong and Lei Shen, the correct method of exerting force concerned their futures.
If they obtained it early, they could avoid many detours.
So no matter the price, they were almost willing to pay it.
"The Nine-layered Thunder Blade's improved techniques... sure." Yang Wu agreed casually.
Given the gap in strength between Yang Wu and them, this so-called transaction was already the best possible outcome for him.
Besides, it was merely the correct method of exerting force. Once Hong and Lei Shen joined Yun Mo Star, they would obtain it sooner or later.
But since Lei Shen had said he could name any condition, Yang Wu's eyes could not help but light up.
Although he now had the Ten Thousand Times Amplification System, there were some things it simply could not help him with. Hong and Lei Shen, however, were different.
"As for my condition... I want one portion of Dragon Blood. If possible, I also want my father to wake up and recover physically," Yang Wu said directly.
He had actually wanted to ask for treasures that could increase strength, such as Spirits of Plants and Trees and Mu Ya Crystals... but based on his current "knowledge," it was impossible for him to know about such treasures.
If he rashly brought them up, leaving aside whether Hong and Lei Shen currently possessed such treasures, merely raising that condition might bring trouble upon Yang Wu.
That said, Dragon Blood amplified ten thousandfold could probably raise his strength to Planet-level without any difficulty...
He just did not know whether Dragon Blood amplified ten thousandfold would be like Mu Ya Crystals, causing an ordinary War God to explode and die upon consuming it...
After all, consuming Dragon Blood itself was incredibly painful. Even someone with as firm a will as Luo Feng had been pained into losing consciousness.
If Yang Wu consumed Dragon Blood amplified ten thousandfold, he did not know whether he would turn into an idiot on the spot.
"Y-you really do have quite an appetite." Lei Shen did not know whether to laugh or cry. "But since you've made such a request, it seems Brother Hong will have to bleed a little."
In Lei Shen's view, Yang Wu, a mere Beginner Warlord, had dared to make such an outrageous request. Did he not know how valuable Dragon Blood was?
Dragon Blood truly was expensive. Even at half price, one portion cost 80 billion.
But in Hong's view, Dragon Blood was not difficult to manufacture as long as enough money was invested.
Hong was not interested in money, but he was extremely interested in the correct method of exerting force.
As for the other condition... Hong had received information on Yang Wu before and knew that Yang Wu's father was merely in an ordinary vegetative state.
With current technology, he could definitely be restored to normal as long as they paid the price. That cost was probably even lower than the production cost of Dragon Blood.
"Fine." Hong nodded calmly. "Though this request is indeed somewhat excessive for someone at your level of strength."
"But you probably don't understand how important this correct method of exerting force is to Lei Shen and me."
"If I were to evaluate your request, although improving the Force Application Technique costs you almost nothing, you're still taking a huge loss."
"Actually, if you put the manual up for sale at Limit Martial Hall, you could earn hundreds of billions in funds before long."
"Cough, cough... Then how about giving me three more portions of Dragon Blood?" Yang Wu muttered quietly.
Though Yang Wu's voice was soft, Hong and Lei Shen were Planet-level beings after all, so they naturally heard his complaint.
"..." Hong's mouth twitched. Then he looked at Lei Shen. "Lei Shen, you'll pay for these three portions of Dragon Blood. But that's the end of the conditions."
"..." Lei Shen was instantly speechless.
He had originally thought that Yang Wu's request would not cost him anything.
Yet he had not expected that he would still have to pay a price in the end.
But recalling the benefits of the correct method of exerting force, Lei Shen agreed without a second thought.
"Alright." Yang Wu nodded in delight.
He had thought that obtaining one portion of Dragon Blood would already be the best possible result.
He had not expected Hong and Lei Shen to hear his complaint, wave their hands, and give him three more portions.
That way, once his parents and Little Sister reached a certain level of strength in the future, they could also consume Dragon Blood.
Of course, by then, Yang Wu might already possess even more advanced treasures.
"Very good. Then demonstrate the improved Nine-layered Thunder Blade once first." Hong revealed a faint smile.
"After receiving the four portions of Dragon Blood and curing your father, you must write down the improved Blade Technique and the principles of correct force exertion and hand them over to us."
"Fine." Yang Wu nodded.
Based on what he knew of Hong and Lei Shen, they would definitely keep their word.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Yang Wu casually picked up the Blood Shadow Battle Blade and moved through the Training Hall like lightning.
At the same time, the Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his hand sometimes chopped, sometimes slashed diagonally, and sometimes blocked. Every strike was as though there were an enemy before him.
His Blade Technique was at times frenzied, at times fierce, at times unpredictable, and at times inscrutably strange... Every form was profoundly unfathomable.
Hong and Lei Shen's Eyes were as sharp as blades as they stared fixedly at Yang Wu demonstrating the Blade Technique.
Simply witnessing the profundity of the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade that Yang Wu displayed made Hong and Lei Shen seem almost possessed.
With the Auxiliary Intelligence, Hong had once deduced ultimate moves for other personal guards, such as Bing Shan.
But spear techniques forcibly deduced from Earth's manuals naturally contained some flaws, whereas the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade did not.
"This is absolutely the most clearly structured, step-by-step Blade Technique I've ever seen." Lei Shen's eyes widened round as he sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Even some Blade Technique principles that are supposedly only comprehensible and impossible to teach are actually contained within the Blade Technique."
"It truly is remarkable." Hong was also greatly shocked.
Of course it was remarkable. This was a Secret Technique that, after ten-thousandfold amplification, directly achieved perfect control over the body.
Thus, for Hong and Lei Shen, who had always been feeling their way in the dark while creating their own manuals, their self-created manuals simply could not compare to the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade!
Very soon, Yang Wu finished demonstrating the first two layers of the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade, a total of thirty-six Blade Technique forms.
Although Yang Wu stopped demonstrating, Hong and Lei Shen, seated cross-legged, were completely immersed in the numerous Blade Techniques Yang Wu had just displayed and the most fundamental mysteries of force exertion.
For a time, countless ideas and flashes of inspiration arose in their minds.
Lei Shen could not help repeatedly moving his fingers before him. At times, his fingers stabbed out like blade tips; at times, a palm struck forth...
After a while, Hong and Lei Shen finally stopped their contemplation, still wanting more.
"I keep feeling that this Blade Technique progresses step by step. The Second Layer is absolutely not its limit, and the potential of Yang Wu's Blade Technique is immeasurable," Lei Shen said with deep emotion.
"Three portions of Dragon Blood in exchange for this Blade Technique is no loss for me. I feel Yang Wu has taken a huge loss instead."
I've taken a loss? You may have made a killing, but I'll never lose out. After all, the wool comes from the sheep.
