Buying a Secret Manual and First Using Spear Bamboo

After bidding farewell to Liu Mingxian and Wang Ming, Xiao Yang returned directly to Luo City.

Right now, he only wanted to hurry back and see how effective the Level-2 Spear Bamboo was.

This time, Liu Mingxian and Wang Ming had not noticed Xiao Yang's massive increase in strength either.

Although Xiao Yang's strength had increased tremendously,

when dealing with ordinary Low-Level Beast Soldiers, Xiao Yang did not need to reveal much of his power at all.

Whenever he killed those Beast Soldiers, he instinctively attacked their weak points.

Thus, Xiao Yang had not displayed his terrifying strength at all.

Otherwise, Liu Mingxian definitely would not have let Xiao Yang leave so easily.

A genius who succeeded in cultivating the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method on the first day and gained over a thousand kilograms of strength was on an entirely different level from a genius who cultivated the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method for a month and had strength approaching that of a Junior Warlord.

Before long, Xiao Yang returned to Clearwind Residential Community.

Chen Jian had already been waiting there.

Although he had great confidence in Xiao Yang and knew roughly how strong Xiao Yang was,

without receiving definite news, he could not help feeling worried.

Now that he knew Xiao Yang had truly passed the Combat Assessment and had not suffered any serious injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately took Xiao Yang out for a lavish meal to celebrate.

Xiao Yang did not refuse Chen Jian's invitation.

It was not until after they finished lunch at noon that Xiao Yang returned home.

He did not immediately take out the Spear Bamboo to test it.

He had not forgotten that after passing the Martial Artist Combat Assessment, his identity information had changed and he had become a true Martial Warrior.

That meant Xiao Yang could use the quota granted to him by the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall to purchase secret manuals!

Xiao Yang had long since decided what secret manual he wanted to buy.

On Earth, the finest spear-type Force-Exertion Secret Art was undoubtedly World Annihilation, created by Hong.

Although Hong's World Annihilation could only raise force exertion to around six times,

Thunder God's Ninefold Thunder Blade could raise it to seven times.

However, Thunder God's Ninefold Thunder Blade was ultimately a saber technique and was certainly not as suitable for Xiao Yang as Hong's World Annihilation.

Moreover, Xiao Yang knew that both Force-Exertion Secret Arts actually had flaws.

Once he traveled into the universe in the future, he would surely have to switch secret arts.

So, the secret art he cultivated now was merely a temporary transition.

He turned on his computer, logged into his account, and clicked into the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall's secret manual page.

Soon, a huge number of secret arts appeared before Xiao Yang.

World Annihilation, category: spear technique. Rating: ultimate. Price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 50 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points)

Ninefold Thunder Blade, category: saber technique. Rating: ultimate. Price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 50 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points)

...

Phantom Blade Art, category: saber technique. Rating: SS-grade. Price: 10 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 5 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

...

Mist Sword, category: sword technique. Rating: S-grade. Price: 3 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 1.5 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

...

Xiao Yang did not even look at the other secret arts and directly opened the page for World Annihilation.

Inside was some information about World Annihilation.

World Annihilation was the strongest spear technique on Earth.

Xiao Yang did not read the descriptions closely either.

He directly opened the pricing page.

World Annihilation, all six layers—price: 100 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 50 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points)

World Annihilation, first five layers—price: 40 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 20 billion Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points)

...

World Annihilation, First Layer—price: 200 million Huaxia Currency (full price), 100 million Huaxia Currency (half price, requirement: one-star contribution points)

Seeing the price of World Annihilation, Xiao Yang could not help but feel his teeth ache.

Good heavens, the First Layer alone cost 100 million!

And that was at half price!

For the Second Layer, the price shot straight up to one billion!

The Third and Fourth Layers cost five billion and fifteen billion respectively!

If Liu Mingxian had not upgraded the terms of his contract, the original quota of fifty million would not even have been enough for Xiao Yang to buy the World Annihilation, First Layer!

He could not even afford it at half price!

Looking at World Annihilation's price, Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly clicked purchase.

In any case, the secret manual quota could only be used to buy secret manuals and could not be used for weapons or anything else.

Then, Xiao Yang opened the weapons page.

He did not make a purchase immediately.

The first secret manual purchase came with a half-price discount.

But there was no such benefit for a first weapon purchase.

So he merely selected what he needed and planned to have Chen Jian purchase it for him later.

Since Xiao Yang did not need a villa, Chen Jian applied to exchange the villa for an additional ten million in startup funds.

Therefore, Xiao Yang could choose equipment worth around eighty million.

After all, Chen Jian's contribution level was not low.

Without hesitation, he directly chose Series 6 equipment: weapons used by Advanced Warlords that could pierce the defenses of Advanced Beast Warlords.

Given how quickly he was progressing, Xiao Yang felt he would soon need to replace his equipment.

So it was better to buy something better from the start.

If he had enough money, he would even have wanted to buy Series 9 equipment directly.

After making his selections, Xiao Yang sent his shopping list directly to Chen Jian.

At the same time, he transferred the money to Chen Jian.

After finishing all this, he began to wait.

As far as he knew, since World Annihilation was a secret art created by Hong, the master of the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall,

deliveries were quite fast for members of the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall after purchase, and it would generally arrive that same day.

However, after waiting for a while, Xiao Yang still became restless.

He went directly to the underground training room.

Then, he took out the Level-2 Spear Bamboo that he had bought at dawn from the game's storage.

The next moment, a green bamboo spear over two meters long suddenly appeared in Xiao Yang's hand.

Compared with ordinary bamboo, this Spear Bamboo was much slimmer.

It was about as thick as a normal long spear.

Moreover, its tip was exceptionally sharp.

The entire bamboo looked like an emerald-green spear.

Xiao Yang tested it and found that this Spear Bamboo was far better than the long spear left behind by his parents.

Even a Series 4 saber could not damage this Spear Bamboo in the slightest!

If this Spear Bamboo had not been so precious, Xiao Yang would have wanted to use it as his weapon.

After examining it for a while, he began familiarizing himself with the Spear Bamboo.

Once he had grown accustomed to the Spear Bamboo in his hand, Xiao Yang began practicing his spear techniques.

He did not know any other spear techniques at the moment, so he could only practice the basic spear technique first.

However, as Xiao Yang began swinging the Spear Bamboo, he immediately discovered something different.

Xiao Yang had originally believed that he had already practiced the basic spear technique to a fairly good level.

But at this moment, he felt that his basic spear technique was riddled with flaws!
