Dripping Water Sword

"So many?" A long list of manuals suddenly appeared on the screen, and this was only the first page; the total number of pages was a staggering fifty-eight.

As one of the mainstream weapons, there were many people across the globe who practiced swordsmanship, so the number of sword techniques created was also quite large, though the vast majority were merely mediocre.

Su You frowned and entered a line of criteria into the filter bar on the side: half-price greater than or equal to 1 billion Huaxia coins.

Manuals whose half-price didn't even reach his quota were generally sword techniques created by ordinary Wargods or some War-level fighters, and for Su You, there was simply no need to purchase them.

The page flickered, and this time the manuals on the screen were significantly fewer, with all ratings being SS-rank or S-rank; among them, there were four SS-rank and eighteen S-rank.

"There aren't any SSS-rank ones?" Su You frowned. Hong's World Destroyer and Thunder God's Nine-Layered Thunder Blade were both rated as Ultimate, and below Ultimate was SSS-rank.

According to Su You's speculation, techniques rated as SSS-rank should be those created by the remaining three Speakers as well as fighters like Jia Yi and Yan Hai, who were stronger than ordinary Planet-level warriors.

SS-rank would be those created by ordinary Planet-level warriors or certain invincible Wargods, while S-rank should be the works of some ordinary high-level Wargods.

Su You shook his head and looked at the screen:

Shadow-Chasing Sword, Category: Sword Technique. Rating: SS-rank. Price: 13 billion Huaxia coins (full price), 6.5 billion Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

Tricky Sword, Category: Sword Technique. Rating: SS-rank. Price: 12 billion Huaxia coins (full price), 6 billion Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

Wind-Chasing Sword, Category: Sword Technique. Rating: SS-rank. Price: 10 billion Huaxia coins (full price), 5 billion Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

Dripping Water Sword, Category: Sword Technique. Rating: SS-rank. Price: 10 billion Huaxia coins (full price), 5 billion Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

After Su You roughly scanned the eighteen sets of S-rank sword techniques below, he still kept his gaze on these four sets of SS-rank sword techniques.

Su You clicked on them one by one to compare their respective strengths and weaknesses. Among them, the Shadow-Chasing Sword and Tricky Sword both contained accompanying movement techniques, the Wind-Chasing Sword contained an accompanying breathing technique, and only the Dripping Water Sword was a pure sword technique.

All four sets of sword techniques could improve physical force, but their focuses were vastly different.

The focus of the Shadow-Chasing Sword lay in the word "illusion"; it is said that when practiced to a profound level, multiple phantoms appear, which can create great confusion for an opponent.

The Tricky Sword naturally focuses on the word "tricky"; every sword move is extremely bizarre, always able to strike from places the opponent does not expect.

The Wind-Chasing Sword focuses on the word "fast," using a special breathing technique to accelerate the speed of the sword moves, thereby making it impossible for the opponent to defend.

As for the Dripping Water Sword, the sword moves are continuous and unending, with each move surpassing the last and each sword strike stronger than the one before; as long as one seizes the initiative, it is very difficult for the opponent to win.

"Should I choose the Wind-Chasing Sword? Or the Dripping Water Sword?" Su You muttered to himself. The Shadow-Chasing Sword and Tricky Sword did not fit his style, so he had already excluded those two sets after reading their introductions.

"The Wind-Chasing Sword comes with a special breathing technique; if I practice this sword technique, wouldn't it be a waste of the Eight-Nine Profound Art?" Su You thought with a frown.

Although he had not yet found a way to obtain merit points to continue practicing, as far as the present was concerned, the Qi-accumulation chapter of the Eight-Nine Profound Art was absolutely superior to the breathing technique that came with the Wind-Chasing Sword.

One must know that when Su You originally chose this Eight-Nine Profound Art, he had painfully given up the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Manual; that was quite the determination.

"Then I'll choose the Dripping Water Sword!" Su You let out a breath and carefully looked at the prices:

Dripping Water Sword, all eight levels--price 10 billion Huaxia coins (full price), 5 billion Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

Dripping Water Sword, first six levels--price 1.6 billion Huaxia coins (full price), 800 million Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: two-star contribution points)

Dripping Water Sword, first five levels--price 500 million Huaxia coins (full price), 250 million Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: two-star contribution points)

Dripping Water Sword, first level--price 20 million Huaxia coins (full price), 10 million Huaxia coins (half-price, requirement: one-star contribution points)

Su You clicked the mouse without hesitation. Anyway, this one-billion quota couldn't be withdrawn as cash, so wouldn't it be a waste not to spend it!

A prompt appeared on the screen: "Please confirm, do you wish to purchase the first six levels of the Dripping Water Sword? You need to pay 800 million Huaxia coins."

Su You clicked confirm, then confirmed again via fingerprint verification. A prompt popped up directly on the screen: "The first six levels of the Dripping Water Sword manual will be delivered to your home, Mr. Su You, within 24 hours."

Su You took a breath, closed the sword technique page, and clicked on the movement technique page. As for the breathing technique, he did not intend to purchase one.

Judging by the growth rate of his punch force over the past two months, his punch force increase speed was no slower than that of Luo Feng, who practiced the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade in his memories, and that was even with Luo Feng having spiritual energy to continuously improve his physical fitness.

This showed that the Qi-accumulation chapter of the Eight-Nine Profound Art was definitely superior to the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade in absorbing cosmic energy, so Su You naturally had no need to purchase other inferior breathing techniques.

Compared to choosing a sword technique, Su You was much more casual in choosing a movement technique. Since he already had the Lingbo Microsteps, choosing another movement technique was firstly for reference and comparison, and secondly, mainly to spend the remaining 200 million quota.

Therefore, Su You directly chose the most expensive set of movement techniques based on the total price, the Ultimate movement technique created by the world's fastest man, Thunder God--the Thunderbolt.

This set of movement techniques also had nine levels, but it was much cheaper than the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade. Su You bought the first five levels for 200 million Huaxia coins, and the one-billion quota was thus spent completely.

The feeling of spending one billion all at once was absolutely exhilarating, especially since this money wouldn't go into his own pocket if he didn't spend it; that feeling was just one word: "Satisfying!"

However, thinking that he would have to spend his own money for subsequent purchases of other items, Su You couldn't help but feel a bit of grief.

"I'll select the items first, then make a list, and ask Uncle Li to help me buy them tomorrow."

Most items in the online mall required contribution points to be purchased at half-price. He had just purchased the manuals because of the discounts available for his first purchase of movement techniques, attack methods, and breathing techniques.

This was a benefit every warrior had, and also a form of cultivation for new warriors by the Dojo.

But now, there was no such benefit when purchasing items. Fortunately, items like weapons and combat uniforms were different from manuals; Su You could let others help him purchase them, which could also save a large amount of expenses.

A long sword, a full set of combat uniform, a communication watch, and a backpack—these were all the equipment Su You intended to purchase. Among them, the communication watch and backpack were very cheap, totaling only 300,000, with the bulk of the cost going toward the long sword and the full set of combat uniform.
