The Effects of Spear Bamboo and World Annihilation

Xiao Yang suddenly had the feeling that he could wield his spear even better!

Without the slightest hesitation, he followed his instincts.

The somewhat rigid basic spear techniques seemed to bloom into countless variations in Xiao Yang's hands.

He executed all manner of basic movements with flexibility.

He felt that even his methods of exerting force had improved.

Previously, when he thrust out with his spear, Xiao Yang would leave himself wide open for an instant.

But now, he no longer had that concern at all.

The transitions between every one of his movements were exceptionally smooth.

Moreover, as he swung the Spear Bamboo, the various flaws in his form gradually began to disappear.

When Chen Jian had fought Xiao Yang before, despite having only one arm, he had still been able to suppress Xiao Yang.

And he had not used any Force-Exertion Secret Art, relying only on the most basic saber techniques.

One had to know that, in the days leading up to the Combat Assessment, Xiao Yang's strength had already reached six or seven thousand kilograms, putting him very close to the Junior Warlord level.

At the time, the difference in strength between Chen Jian and Xiao Yang had not been very great.

Yet Xiao Yang had been beaten back by Chen Jian, who only had one arm.

At that moment, Xiao Yang felt that even if he were slightly weaker, he could still use basic spear techniques to fight Chen Jian without being defeated.

Just like that, as Xiao Yang continued practicing his spear techniques, evening arrived.

As before, he stopped to rest for a while in the afternoon and ate a grain of Level 1 rice.

It had already become a habit for Xiao Yang.

After all, everything in the game tasted great.

Xiao Yang would not get sick of it no matter how much he ate.

Just as Xiao Yang was about to take a break and eat another grain of rice for dinner, the doorbell rang.

Only after storing the Spear Bamboo in the game inventory did he go upstairs to answer the door.

Standing outside was an unfamiliar man.

However, Xiao Yang could faintly sense a fierce aura coming from him.

He guessed that the man was a Martial Warrior hardened by countless battles.

Upon seeing Xiao Yang, the man smiled and said,

"Are you Mr. Xiao Yang?"

"This is the secret manual you purchased. Please sign for it."

As he spoke, the man held a sealed alloy briefcase horizontally before Xiao Yang.

Hearing this, a trace of curiosity flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

This should be the World Annihilation manual he had bought at noon.

He pressed his finger against the alloy briefcase.

"Beep! Fingerprint verification passed."

An electronic voice sounded, and the alloy briefcase automatically opened.

Inside was a book about a centimeter thick, along with two discs.

Two large words were written on the cover of the book—World Annihilation!

"Mr. Xiao Yang, please take a look and confirm whether this is the secret manual you purchased. If it is, please sign here."

As the man spoke, there was a hint of envy in the way he looked at Xiao Yang.

This was World Annihilation!

Ordinary Martial Warriors simply could not afford it!

Even the First Layer cost one hundred million Huaxia Currency!

And that was already half price!

Xiao Yang nodded and said,

"That's right. This is what I purchased."

After Xiao Yang signed for the delivery, the man continued,

"According to the rules, I need to go over the precautions regarding the purchase of secret manuals."

"The copyright of a secret manual belongs to its creator. The copyright holder of the World Annihilation manual is Hall Master Hong!"

"The purchaser only has the right to learn it, not the right to pass it on."

"You may not copy, privately sell, or teach this secret manual."

"Anyone who violates these rules will be jointly hunted down by the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall, Thunder Dojo, HR Alliance, and the military forces of the five major nations!"

Xiao Yang nodded. He already knew all of this.

After the inspection was completed, the man left.

Xiao Yang, meanwhile, eagerly carried the book and discs down to the underground training room.

He could not wait to open the thick book.

It contained the cultivation method for World-Destroying, First Layer, as well as some insights.

Besides that, it also included the Guidance Technique and movement technique that came with World Annihilation.

It could be said that purchasing a set of World Annihilation gave one a Force-Exertion Secret Art, a Guidance Technique, and a movement technique.

Three secret arts for one hundred million—what an absolute steal...

Well, Xiao Yang still felt that it was a little overpriced.

He looked through it and saw that World Annihilation was divided into six layers.

With every layer cultivated, one could release one additional hidden force during battle.

Each hidden force carried only ninety percent of one's own strength.

Furthermore, the attack one launched also only possessed ninety percent of one's own strength.

In other words, mastering the First Layer could increase one's force exertion to 1.8 times.

The Second Layer was 2.7 times.

The Third Layer was 3.6 times.

The Fourth Layer was 4.5 times.

The Fifth Layer was 5.4 times.

The Sixth Layer was 6.3 times.

After cultivating World-Destroying, First Layer, one would only have 1.8 times force exertion.

Yet the First Layer alone cost one hundred million Huaxia Currency, even at half price.

For the same half-price deal and the same one hundred million, one could buy the first three layers of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.

After cultivating the first three layers of the Ninefold Thunder Blade, one's force exertion could reach 2.8 times!

That was a full extra multiple!

Xiao Yang could not help but sigh. Why had the original owner not practiced a saber technique?!

However, since things had come to this, he could only cultivate World Annihilation first.

At least he had the Spear Bamboo, didn't he?

Xiao Yang directly began cultivating according to the methods in the manual.

Every layer of World Annihilation also had matching spear techniques.

Each layer contained twenty-four spear forms.

These spear techniques were also meant to assist in cultivating World Annihilation.

Xiao Yang ate Level 1 rice while watching the instructional content on the discs and in the book.

After he finished eating, he took out the Spear Bamboo and began cultivating.

The next day, as soon as Xiao Yang got up and finished eating Level 1 rice, he prepared to continue practicing World Annihilation.

In just one night, Xiao Yang had already learned all twenty-four spear forms that came with World Annihilation.

At this pace, he felt that he might not need even half a month to master World-Destroying, First Layer.

By then, he would also need to prepare to venture into the Wilderness Area for training and earn money to buy the subsequent manuals.

Of course, he could also build up some practical combat experience along the way.

He would definitely have to face real combat in the future.

So he needed to get used to it in advance.

Besides, he also had to earn money to buy the later World Annihilation manuals.

Just as Xiao Yang took out the Spear Bamboo and prepared to practice the World Annihilation spear techniques, the upstairs doorbell rang.

He put the Spear Bamboo he had taken out back into the system space.

When Xiao Yang went upstairs and opened the door, he found Chen Jian and Wang Ming standing outside.

"Uncle Chen, Chief Instructor, why are you here?"

Xiao Yang looked at the two of them curiously.

Chen Jian did not beat around the bush and said directly,

"Earlier, the supervisor asked us to help you find a Warlord squad to join for some training."

"Old Wang and I discussed it and recommended you to the squad led by my former captain."

"We didn't tell you yesterday because the matter had not been settled yet."

"Now my former captain has agreed, and I'm taking you to meet his current squad."

Xiao Yang did not refuse. He directly followed Wang Ming and Chen Jian toward the Ultimate Club.

After all, he truly had no experience entering the Wilderness Area at the moment. Joining a Martial Warrior squad for the time being was also a good choice.
