Buy

Cao Bing browsed the forum for quite a while but found nothing worthwhile, so he simply exited the Martial Artist Forum.

"Let's take a look at the techniques! What should I buy with these 200 million worth of free manuals?"

Thinking of the 200 million he had gotten for nothing, Cao Bing could not help but smile happily.

He opened the manual page, and a vast array of different techniques appeared before him.

World Annihilation, category: spear technique. Rating: ultimate. Price: 100 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 50 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: four-star Contribution Points

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, category: saber technique. Rating: ultimate. Price: 100 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 50 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: four-star Contribution Points

Phantom Saber Art, category: saber technique. Rating: SS-rank. Price: 10 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 5 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: three-star Contribution Points

Mist Sword, category: sword technique. Rating: S-rank. Price: 3 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 1.5 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: three-star Contribution Points

The densely packed information made Cao Bing's mouth twitch after he had read only the first few entries.

"Although I already knew about it, seeing these outrageous prices is still hard to accept."

Cao Bing gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Just a moment ago, I thought I counted as a wealthy man. Now it seems I'm still a pauper."

He let out a sigh.

Cao Bing directly ignored the remaining information. His choice was the same as Luo Feng's.

"Nine Layered Thunder Saber."

This manual pushed speed and strength to their limits. It had also been created by Lei Shen, the second strongest man on Earth.

Of course, there was another manual that suited Cao Bing extremely well.

"Phantom Saber Art."

In certain respects, this manual truly fell short of Nine Layered Thunder Saber. However, compared with Nine Layered Thunder Saber's pure focus on strength and speed—

This manual also emphasized variations in saber moves. Once mastered, its saber techniques could shift as unpredictably as phantoms.

It was only slightly inferior to Nine Layered Thunder Saber when it came to amplifying strength.

Overall, each had its own advantages and disadvantages.

"I'll look at Nine Layered Thunder Saber first. If I have anything left afterward, I can consider Phantom Saber Art. I wonder if I'm being too greedy. Nine Layered Thunder Saber is already the hardest saber technique in the world to learn, yet I want to train in Phantom Saber Art as well. I might end up accomplishing nothing!"

Cao Bing laughed bitterly at himself, but he still opened Nine Layered Thunder Saber's price list first.

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, all nine layers. Price: 100 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 50 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: four-star Contribution Points

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, first eight layers. Price: 50 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 25 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: three-star Contribution Points

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, first five layers. Price: 2 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 1 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: three-star Contribution Points

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, first four layers. Price: 500 million Huaxia currency at full price, 250 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: two-star Contribution Points

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, first three layers. Price: 200 million Huaxia currency at full price, 100 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: two-star Contribution Points

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, first two layers. Price: 100 million Huaxia currency at full price, 50 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: two-star Contribution Points

Nine Layered Thunder Saber, first layer. Price: 50 million Huaxia currency at full price, 25 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: one-star Contribution Points

"These prices are forcing me to look at Phantom Saber Art first. Even the first five layers cost 1 billion at half price."

Thinking this, he opened Phantom Saber Art's price list as well.

Phantom Saber Art, all seven layers. Price: 10 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 5 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: three-star Contribution Points

Phantom Saber Art, first six layers. Price: 3 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 1.5 billion Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: three-star Contribution Points

Phantom Saber Art, first five layers. Price: 1.8 billion Huaxia currency at full price, 900 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: two-star Contribution Points

Phantom Saber Art, first four layers. Price: 400 million Huaxia currency at full price, 200 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: two-star Contribution Points

Phantom Saber Art, first three layers. Price: 200 million Huaxia currency at full price, 100 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: one-star Contribution Points

Phantom Saber Art, first two layers. Price: 100 million Huaxia currency at full price, 50 million Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: one-star Contribution Points

Phantom Saber Art, first layer. Price: 70 million Huaxia currency at full price, 3,500 Huaxia currency at half price. Requirement: 6,000 Contribution Points

"It seems I can't afford the first five layers of either Nine Layered Thunder Saber or Phantom Saber Art by themselves." Cao Bing could not help but smile bitterly. "Looks like I'm still poor!"

"But this is fine too. I'll buy the first four layers of both Nine Layered Thunder Saber and Phantom Saber Art. That'll be 450 million Huaxia currency in total. Aside from the free 200 million, I'll have to pay another 200 million myself."

"As for the money left over... there's no need to save it. I'll buy the best saber and the best armor!"

A sharp gleam surged in Cao Bing's eyes.

"With good equipment, I can live better. As for the money, I'll earn it back soon enough!"

With that thought, Cao Bing opened the equipment page again.

"I'll buy two sabers: one Blood Shadow 2 A6 Model and one Phantom Series A6 Model. They each cost 10 million at half price. Although A5 models are still a little difficult for me to use at my current strength, after training for a while longer, I'll be able to use them properly!"

"I don't need things like shields. Based on my fighting style, a shield would only hinder my performance. A backpack for 200,000 will be enough. That leaves the Combat Suit as the major expense."

Cao Bing's gaze burned as he quickly bought the weapons and backpack, then turned his attention to the various Combat Suits.

SS-rank Combat Suit, full price: 120 billion, half price: 60 billion. Four-star Contribution Points

S-rank Combat Suit, full price: 12 billion, half price: 6 billion. Three-star Contribution Points

Tiger Fury Series A9 Combat Suit, full price: 2.4 billion, half price: 1.2 billion. Two-star Contribution Points

Battle Wind Series A8 Combat Suit, full price: 1.2 billion, half price: 600 million. Two-star Contribution Points

Night Series A7 Combat Suit, full price: 300 million, half price: 150 million. Two-star Contribution Points

Wraith Series B6 Combat Suit, full price: 80 million, half price: 40 million. One-star Contribution Points

There were also all kinds of individual Combat Suit components.

"So expensive! A Combat Suit of the same grade costs enough to buy more than five sabers of the same grade!"

Cao Bing clicked his tongue twice and thought to himself, Still, no matter how expensive it is, I have to buy one, and it has to be a good one. This concerns my life!

"Night A7, 150 million!"

In the end, Cao Bing gritted his teeth and decisively placed an order for a high-grade Combat Suit.

"Now I know what it means to spend money like water! Even across three lifetimes, I probably haven't spent as much as I did today!"

The first four layers of Nine Layered Thunder Saber and Phantom Saber Art cost 450 million in total. Of that, 200 million was free, while he paid 250 million himself.

The two A6-grade sabers cost 20 million in total.

One Combat Suit cost 150 million.

Altogether, Cao Bing had spent a full 420 million.

In an instant, Cao Bing's total assets had been reduced to just over 110 million, shrinking by nearly eighty percent!

Even so, Cao Bing had no intention of saving this money. He had not been a Martial Artist before and thus had no right to use Limitless Martial Arts' special training rooms. Now that he had the status and enough Contribution Points, he naturally would not be stingy with himself.

After buying everything, Cao Bing finally let out a long breath and lay flat on his bed.

However, at that moment, a knock sounded from outside the door.
