Wind Blade Triple Strike

When it came to taking out loans for martial arts training, Lu Fei finally seemed to have a common topic with Xu Feng.

She opened the dormitory projector, displaying a website.

Looking at the projection on the wall, Xu Feng felt envious once again.

This was just a student dormitory; the treatment and conditions were incredible.

Back in his day, he never seemed to catch a break.

The school built a new playground right after he graduated high school.

The dorms got air conditioning right after he graduated college.

And here, they even had a projector!

However, Lu Fei was unaware of Xu Feng's inner thoughts. She turned to look at him, "This is the official website of the Earth Martial Artist Alliance. You can buy any secret technique here! You just need to select the type of technique you want to see all the available options. What do you want to buy?"

The two were huddled over a small table in the dorm, much like desk-mates back in school.

As Lu Fei turned her head, she realized the distance between her and Xu Feng was a bit too close.

Looking closely, Xu Feng's profile didn't even look like that of a forty-year-old in the dim light of the dormitory.

His focused expression was actually quite handsome—

"Ah? I don't—"

Just as Lu Fei was dazed, Xu Feng happened to turn his head.

The two stared at each other, both able to feel the other's warm breath.

"Ahem!"

Lu Fei coughed lightly and turned her head away, her face flushing red.

Xu Feng felt awkward as well; he swallowed and pretended to take a sip of water, "To be honest, I don't know what to buy. Do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing Xu Feng change the subject, Lu Fei quickly took the opportunity to move past the awkward moment, "Which cultivation method are you practicing now?"

"Nine Star Body Refining Art, the free version," Xu Feng said quickly.

"Change it. The cultivation method is the core, the foundation; you must switch to a high-level one. I suggest you buy the official version of the Nine Star Body Refining Art. Let me check the price... it's not expensive, 1.5 million."

"You call that not expensive?" Xu Feng's mouth hung open.

Lu Fei curled her lip, "Great Xia has seven types of body refining arts in total. The Nine Star Body Refining Art is the cheapest one, so naturally, its effects are the worst. But even the worst effect is ten times better than that free version of yours! There are better ones, of course. Look at that Eternal Indestructible Body, it starts at 5 million. The Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method is 6 million. Can you afford those?"

Xu Feng sighed, "Let's stick with the Nine Star Body Refining Art then!"

"What about the blade technique you practice?" Lu Fei asked again.

"Uh," Xu Feng felt a bit embarrassed to say it, but considering how many secret techniques she must have seen, he simply said, "White Wolf Blade."

"What is the White Wolf Blade?" Lu Fei was confused.

For Xu Feng to kill an Intermediate Warrior with the strength of a newly stepped-in Primary Warrior, it must have been some powerful blade technique, right?

Xu Feng narrowed his eyes, "The blade technique from the freshman basic course."

"Fresh, freshman basic course? You killed Lurence with that?"

Lu Fei was truly shocked this time.

Xu Feng nodded, "Don't laugh at me; it was the best secret technique I could get my hands on."

"You!" Lu Fei stared at Xu Feng for a moment before nodding, "Regardless of anything else, even if your aptitude isn't great, your talent for comprehension is clearly excellent. No matter the level of the technique, a technique that can kill is a good technique! In that case, I suggest you take a look at this one."

Lu Fei scrolled through the webpage for a while and found a blade technique manual.

She clicked it open.

Xu Feng couldn't help but blurt out, "C-Rank Secret Technique, Wind Blade Triple Strike?"

Lu Fei said in a mysterious tone, "That's right. Don't let the low price of this blade technique fool you; its power is truly formidable.

The reason it's cheap is that it's extremely difficult to cultivate, leading to a high barrier to entry and a low market price.

However, I have a junior who practices this very technique, and his combat power ranks in the top three of his grade."

"It's that strong?" Xu Feng's eyes lit up. He looked at the 2.2 million price tag, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take it!"

"Besides that, you need a movement technique manual. What movement technique are you currently practicing?"

Lu Fei asked seriously.

"I, I haven't practiced any movement techniques," Xu Feng said, feeling embarrassed.

"Huh?" Lu Fei squinted at Xu Feng.

"I'm telling the truth." Xu Feng scratched his head.

"Then just how much of a scrub was Lurence?" Lu Fei exclaimed, utterly bewildered.

Xu Feng: "."

That was too insulting.

"Fine, I'll choose for you." Lu Fei shook her head and began carefully filtering options for Xu Feng.

Seeing how serious she was, Xu Feng didn't feel it was appropriate to retort.

After all, Lu Fei was probably telling the truth.

To be killed by a half-baked Primary Warrior like him, Lurence was indeed too much of a scrub.

Finally.

Lu Fei selected a movement technique called Shadow Sweep, priced at only 1.8 million.

"Calculating it this way, I need a total of 5.5 million. I have 300,000 on hand, so I need to take out a loan of 5.2 million."

As Xu Feng did the math, he fell silent.

He truly couldn't afford this price.

"In that case, there's no need to pay the full price. Aside from the cultivation method, the attack and movement technique manuals can be purchased in segments."

Lu Fei opened the price list to show Xu Feng.

"For example, this Wind Blade Triple Strike has six levels in total. If you only buy the first three levels, it's only 110,000!

The first four levels are 330,000, and the first five levels are 880,000!" Lu Fei said with a smile.

Xu Feng was immediately shocked: "You can buy them in segments? No, wait, why is the price difference so huge?"

Lu Fei said, accustomed to it: "Yes, but there is a downside to buying them this way.

If you only buy the first three levels, when you eventually reach a higher realm and need to enter the fourth level, you have to buy the first four levels all over again.

The same logic applies, and the price won't be any cheaper."

Xu Feng couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn, they really know how to make money. If I buy the first five levels this time, do I have to buy the whole set next time?"

"That's right, there is no separate sixth level for sale." Lu Fei nodded. "This part is indeed a trap! Students at our Martial University get internal pricing and discounts, but you guys don't."

"Then can you buy it and let me practice it?" Xu Feng asked, his eyes brightening.

"What do you think?" Lu Fei rolled her eyes. "Manuals are copyrighted. Any act that violates copyright law is just asking for death!

I am solemnly warning you: you must pay attention to this.

Privately teaching, copying, or sharing manuals in violation of the law is a capital offense, and you will be hunted down by all forces across the world.

Don't doubt this; even War God Grade powerhouses have died over copyright issues!"

"Gulp."

Xu Feng swallowed hard, not expecting the matter to be so serious.

"Alright," he nodded, "then I'll just buy the first four levels of the blade technique for now; that should be enough."

"The movement technique is only divided into three levels, and the price is a bit steep: 270,000 for one level, 720,000 for the first two. How do you want to choose?"

"I'll just buy one level." Xu Feng calculated his funds.

This way, he only needed to pay 2.1 million.

If he made a down payment of 200,000, he would only need to take out a loan of 1.9 million.

Assuming the interest rate for a martial loan was similar to a mortgage, he would only be paying back about 10,000 a month over thirty years.

That was completely affordable.

However, when he actually looked into the details of martial loans, he was left completely dumbfounded.
