Chapter 2094 - 423: Successful Counter-Strategy 1

Mr. Han seemed to have anticipated Wang Yueʼs reaction. With a slight smile, he said, ”I donʼt know if what you say is true. But when this martial art technique was first obtained from the secret realm, it indeed had that name.”

”Then why are only the first three moves available? Where are the rest?” Wang Yue asked again.

Mr. Han shook his head. ”I donʼt know. When we got this manual in the secret realm, it only contained these moves. Perhaps the later parts exist in other secret realms, or maybe someone else has already obtained them. In any case, our Lingyun Pavilion hasnʼt received any information about that.”

”Okay,” Wang Yue nodded, then opened the booklet.

The booklet, including the cover, consisted of only ten pages. Apart from the cover, every three pages described one move. There wasnʼt even a back cover, clearly indicating that this was the original version of the martial art technique.

After all, since the technique was incomplete and couldnʼt be practiced at all, it had no value for replication. But selling it at a low price was also unacceptable. It wasnʼt until today that he met someone like Wang Yue, who would pay a high price for it.

Not only did the name of this martial art technique match that of the comic from hundreds of years ago, but the moves were also identical. The first three moves were: ”Seizing the Wind and Shadow,” ”Sturdy Grass in the Wind,” and ”Violent Storm.”

As Wang Yueʼs cultivation improved, his understanding of martial arts also grew rapidly. So after just a quick glance, he became excited.

If not for the high requirement for the purity of his vital energy, which made it impossible for him to practice the technique, it would probably have been taken by someone else long ago. And the price would have been at least ten times higher than that of an ordinary lower-tier heavenly-grade martial art technique.

Because this wasnʼt just a simple martial art technique; it combined lightness, footwork, and attacks into a comprehensive martial art system.

Its most prominent feature was its speed and immense power.

Most importantly, the power of this martial art technique had no limit. Just like Wang Yueʼs ”Level 8 Violent Storm,” the higher the purity of his vital energy, the greater the power it could unleash, and the faster its speed.

The requirement of ten times the purity of vital energy mentioned by Mr. Han was merely the entry-level requirement.

With his vital energy purity being forty-five times that of an ordinary martial artist, he could at least bring this lower-tier heavenly-grade martial art technique to the level of a middle-tier or even upper-tier heavenly-grade martial art technique.

Moreover, this martial art technique coincided with Wang Yueʼs concept of ”Instant Netherworld Kill.”

In short, this martial art technique, which was impossible for ordinary people to practice, was practically tailor-made for him.

Although he was overjoyed inside, Wang Yue showed a disappointed expression on his face and asked, ”Can I return it?”

”Iʼm sorry, but once martial arts techniques are sold, they cannot be returned. However, our store can buy back this martial art technique at a reasonable price,” Mr. Han replied without hesitation. Clearly, this wasnʼt the first time heʼd done this.

Wang Yue was a bit speechless, but he could understand it. After all, skills and martial arts could be memorized after being learned. If returns were allowed, it would essentially mean getting something for free.

Moreover, those who got deceived couldnʼt say much about it. After all, the seller had made it clear from the start that this martial art was beyond the average personʼs ability to master. It was the buyers who were too confident. Who could they blame?

However, Lingyun Pavilion wasnʼt completely dishonest. At least this martial art could still be redeemed.

At this point, Wang Yue finally understood why this martial art hadnʼt been replicated. After all, anyone who got it would choose to redeem it instead of trying to replicate it. There was no need to do so.

After studying it once, the content of the martial art was deeply ingrained in Wang Yueʼs mind. Holding the manual was useless, so he asked, ”How can it be redeemed?”

”It can be exchanged for an upper-tier Earth-level martial art or other goods of equal value,” said Mr. Han.

Itʼs so dark, really extremely dark!

Sold for the price of two sets of top-tier Earth-grade martial arts techniques, yet in just a blink of an eye, it was bought back for the price of just one set of upper-tier Earth-grade martial arts techniques. In total, Lingyun Pavilion made a huge profit.

However, no matter how displeased they might be, those who obtained the Wind God Leg would probably choose to sell it back.

After all, whether they could master the technique or not, they had already memorized it.

Keeping the secret manual was useless, so it was better to exchange it for one set of upper-tier Earth-grade martial arts techniques.

This was essentially a clever scheme that forced people to comply even though they knew they were being tricked.

Wang Yue didnʼt want to argue with them, so he pretended to be helpless and said, ”Fine, Iʼll sell it back and get an upper-tier Earth-grade martial arts technique in exchange.”

”What type of martial arts technique would you like, sir?” Mr. Han asked.

In truth, he felt somewhat indebted to Wang Yue. It wasnʼt because he had cheated Wang Yue, but because his own impatience might have caused trouble for the young man before. Therefore, he wanted to compensate Wang Yue as much as possible within his authority.

”Are there any sword techniques?” Wang Yue asked.

He already had the Wind God Leg in terms of leg movements, and for punching techniques, he had the Zhang familyʼs top-tier Earth-grade skill, ”Earth-Shattering Palm,” waiting to be mastered. Moreover, he didnʼt want to give up on his familyʼs hereditary Jade-Breaking Palm either.

Instead, he planned to incorporate the concepts of the Level 8 Great Fury into it. So, what he needed now was a set of weapon-based martial arts.

”Sword techniques? Yes, there are.” Mr. Han immediately pulled out a small paper booklet from the bookshelf beside him and handed it to Wang Yue.

”Nine Sudden Calamities Sword?” Wang Yue frowned upon seeing the name of the martial art. ”Are there any others?”

”Nine Sudden Calamities... What a terrible name.”

”Then how about you take a look at this set,” Mr. Han said, handing Wang Yue another booklet that looked similar in appearance.

”Nine Flying Disasters Sword?” Wang Yue wondered, ”Why do these two sets of martial arts have such similar names?”
