In the cell.
The prisoner fell to the ground with his face facing the ground. His entire body was cold and he had already become a corpse.
“...It’s not enough.”
Xiao Shi was distressed.
Initially, he thought that he would not use Arc Flash and would try his best to control his strength. This way, he should be able to fight back and forth and increase his combat experience.
In the end, it was still one-sided. The prisoner did not even hit him. After blocking a few punches with difficulty, he could not take it anymore.
This made Xiao Shi feel troubled. In terms of actual combat experience, he really could not improve. The two battles he had experienced were too simple and direct. There was no back-and-forth. One punch and one kick, they were both battles that could end with one punch.
“How boring.” Xiao Shi shook his head. He looked at the items dropped after killing the prisoner.
On the ground was a dazzling crystal.
This was a type of crystal that Xiao Shi had never seen before. It was diamond-shaped, about the size of a thumb, sparkling and resplendent. When Xiao Shi picked it up, relevant information immediately appeared in his line of sight.
[Name: Dust Seal (Heaven Rank)]
[Type: Secret Technique]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: An ancient secret technique that has been lost for many years. Many years ago, this secret technique was known as the strongest secret technique in the Martial Entry-Level.]
[Remark: A martial artist who can condense a mark is too terrifying!]
...
“This is actually a secret technique! And it’s... a Heaven-rank secret technique!” Xiao Shi’s heart trembled violently, and even his breathing became hurried.
According to the information he had, secret techniques were far more precious, rare and powerful than secret manuals and cultivation techniques! Even the upper sects of the Red Tiger Sect did not have any secret techniques.
It was said that in the entire Seven Star Province, only the strongest Feiyuan Palace had secret techniques.
But even so, not everyone in the Feiyuan Palace was qualified to cultivate secret techniques.
Secret techniques were usually the foundation of a sect. Only the most important core disciples had the chance to cultivate secret techniques. Secret techniques were the same as secret manuals. There were four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
Even the lowest Yellow-rank secret technique was enough to drive people crazy.
Heaven-rank secret technique...
Xiao Shi really couldn’t imagine how astonishing its value was!
This was definitely the most valuable item among the many items that had dropped so far. Be it the Peerless Potential Pill or the Flame Phoenix Fruit, they were completely inferior to this Heaven-rank secret technique.
This also confirmed one thing in Xiao Shi’s heart.
The stronger the Martial Entry-Level martial artists he killed, the easier it would be for high-value Martial Entry-Level items to drop. Whether it was killing a Martial Entry-Level One martial artist or a Level Nine martial artist, they would all drop Martial Entry-Level items.
However, different Martial Entry-Level items often had different values.
For example, the Heaven-rank secret technique that dropped this time was incomparably shocking in value, surpassing all the items that had dropped in the past.
The prisoner that Xiao Shi had killed this time was also the strongest person he had killed so far. From this, it was not difficult to analyze this point.
At the same time, Xiao Shi also knew that killing a Martial Entry-Level martial artist had a chance of dropping items of a higher level.
For example, when he killed the mosquitoes, he would drop Potential Pills. When he killed the Piebald Worms, he would drop a storage bag. However, the probability of dropping a higher-leveled item was very, very low.
Xiao Shi also felt that if he killed a stronger Martial Entry-Level martial artist, such as a Level Nine Martial Entry-Level martial artist, it should also increase the probability of dropping items of a higher level.
If he became stronger in the future, he would need higher-level items, but he could not find a suitable target. Perhaps he could consider killing a large number of Level Nine Martial Entry-Level martial artists to obtain higher-level items.
As he thought, Xiao Shi placed the crystal in his hand into his storage bag. The introduction and remarks did not explain the specific usage of this secret technique crystal.
Xiao Shi could only investigate later. After inflicting more injuries on the prisoner’s corpse, Xiao Shi waited for a while before knocking on the cell door. This time, he did not disguise himself as a wounded person.
However, he looked exhausted and was sweating all over. After all, the prisoner only had one hand and one foot. It was unlikely that he would be injured. If he pretended to be injured, it would be unreal.
What he wanted to show this time was that the other party was more difficult to kill.
After Wang Changhuan and Yang Zhen opened the iron door of the cell, Xiao Shi’s face was covered in sweat as he sighed while panting.
“A Martial Entry-Level Six martial artist is too difficult to kill. Even if he only has one hand and one foot, I can’t do anything to him. I can’t exhaust him. Fortunately, I have a trump card.”
The two people outside the cell laughed. They seemed to have expected the battle that Xiao Shi mentioned. The reason why they broke the prisoner’s limbs was to prevent Xiao Shi from being injured.
In a situation where the prisoner only had one hand and one foot, it was destined that he could only defend himself and could not attack or counterattack.
In any case, Xiao Shi mainly wanted to practice, so he just let him keep attacking.
The two of them did not ask Xiao Shi what trump card he had. All they wanted to do now was drink with him.
...
In the evening.
After Xiao Shi, Wang Changhuan, and Yang Zhen finished drinking, they began to inquire about the specific usage of the secret technique in the Night Patrol Division. When he was drinking with the two of them earlier, Xiao Shi had also asked them. However, neither of them knew anything about the secret technique.
Xiao Shi could only find someone else to investigate.
There were many night patrollers in the Night Patrol Division, but not all of them were as friendly as Wang Changhuan and Yang Zhen. Many of them were relatively cold, giving off a feeling that strangers were not allowed to get close.
However, after Xiao Shi took out the wine, their coldness quickly turned into friendly smiles. 𝑓ree𝑤𝘦𝚋𝐧𝘰ve𝑙. co𝒎
They told Xiao Shi everything they knew.
Unfortunately, secret techniques were too rare in the Seven Star Province. Even these Night Patrollers with a certain amount of experience had a rather limited understanding of secret techniques.
...
What they said was basically what Xiao Shi already knew.
Helpless, Xiao Shi could only look for Team D’s captain to inquire.
“You want to know about the secret technique?” The captain took a sip of the wine that Xiao Shi handed over. His eyes were bright, deeply attracted by the taste of this wine.
Although he was curious as to why Xiao Shi was interested in secret techniques, he did not suspect that Xiao Shi had secret techniques. After all, secret techniques were extremely rare in the entire Seven Star Province.
Other than the Feiyuan Palace, there was no other force that had a secret technique. Moreover, secret techniques were not like natural treasures that would appear out of thin air. Secret techniques were often created by powerful existences.
It was a kind of inheritance.
Even if Xiao Shi told him that he had a secret technique, he would not believe it.
“As far as I know, secret techniques are different from cultivation techniques. They can’t be recorded with books or jade slips. They can only be carried by special crystals. Even if an ordinary person obtains a secret technique crystal, they won’t be able to obtain the contents of the secret technique without the correct method to open it.” The captain said.
“How do I activate the secret technique crystal?” Xiao Shi asked the most crucial point.
“There are different ways to activate secret technique crystals at different realms. If it’s a Martial Entry-Level secret technique, you have to use your own Qi and blood to activate it.”
