Top-Class Insight: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Time passed quickly, another month had gone by. Lu Changsheng remained completely calm, patiently waiting.

“Whoosh.”

Without any warning, Lu Changsheng acted almost instantly. A streak of white light shot out from his hand and, in the blink of an eye, appeared on the other side of the room.

“It worked!”

“A whole month, and I’ve finally mastered the Instant Kill Technique. It took much longer than I anticipated…”

Lu Changsheng muttered softly.

Usually, it didn’t take long for someone to go from novice to proficiency and then to mastery in a martial technique. Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s comprehension was now at 147 points, far surpassing an average person.

However, even with these advantages, it still took him a month to reach mastery. This indirectly proved the exceptional nature of the Instant Kill Technique, at least a third or even fourth-tier martial technique.

Martial techniques could only be used effectively after reaching mastery, possessing preliminary combat capabilities. Lu Changsheng was waiting for this moment!

“The Instant Kill Technique is now combat-ready; it’s time to go to the black market.”

Lu Changsheng made all the necessary preparations. In the evening, he donned a black mask, disguising himself, and headed straight towards the southern part of the city.

At night, the streets were still bustling, with people from all walks of life converging in the black market.

Lu Changsheng scanned the market vendors with his gaze, and eventually, he spotted the same female vendor as last time.

The female vendor was still selling martial techniques, but it seemed she had acquired a new batch. She always seemed to find a way to obtain many martial techniques.

Lu Changsheng walked directly over and asked in a low voice, “Do you have martial techniques for enhancing blood strength? Preferably high-quality ones!”

He explicitly stated his requirements.

To boost his blood strength significantly, especially to its limits, he needed high-quality martial techniques. Ordinary techniques wouldn’t provide as good results, even if stacked together. If everyone could boost their blood strength to the maximum by stacking ordinary techniques, many martial artists would not have difficulty advancing to the God Power Realm.

“High-quality martial techniques?”

The female vendor looked up at Lu Changsheng and narrowed her eyes slightly. “Is it you?”

Apparently, the female vendor recognized Lu Changsheng. Even though he had disguised himself, the female vendor had been a regular in the black market for a long time. Her eyes were sharp and could see through Lu Changsheng’s disguise.

“High-quality martial techniques, especially those for enhancing blood strength, are extremely rare.”

“Normally, they’re not sold in the black market because they’re worth more than gold.”

“However, if you want high-quality martial techniques for enhancing blood strength, I do have them, depending on whether you have the silver for it.”

The female vendor stared directly at Lu Changsheng.

“What technique is it?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

The female vendor took out a martial technique manual from her package. It looked new, with fresh ink on the pages.

“Fortunately for you, I just obtained and transcribed this high-quality martial technique. It’s called ‘Blood Strength Six Heavens.’”

“This technique has six levels, one level per heaven. It’s unquestionably a high-quality martial technique!”

“As for the price, it’s a thousand two hundred taels of silver, no bargaining.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes widened.

“How much? A thousand two hundred taels of silver?”

Lu Changsheng felt like he was being robbed. A high-quality martial technique for enhancing blood strength, even if it’s top-tier, shouldn’t cost more than a few hundred taels of silver.

“A thousand two hundred taels of silver?”

The female vendor heard his astonishment and put the manual back into her package, saying coldly, “I’ve set the price; if you don’t want it, forget it.”

“Real high-quality martial techniques have no price.”

“This ‘Blood Strength Six Heavens’ is a genuinely foundational high-quality martial technique. Once you master it, your foundation will be incredibly solid, and it might even increase your chances of reaching the God Power Realm.”

“The only downside is that it’s incredibly profound, and reaching the sixth level is very difficult. But even if you only reach the fourth or fifth level, your foundation will be stable, and it won’t hinder your promotion to the God Power Realm.”

Afterward, the female vendor remained silent. She knew that people seeking high-quality martial techniques were often aiming to advance to the God Power Realm, and such individuals didn’t care much about the cost.

“A thousand two hundred taels, I’ll take it.”

“And then, I’ll select twenty-two other martial techniques for two hundred taels, sound good?”

Lu Changsheng also wanted to get a discount, essentially receiving two martial techniques as a gift.

“Alright, you can choose twenty-two martial techniques here.”

The female vendor was generous and didn’t haggle over the price.

Lu Changsheng received the ‘Blood Strength Six Heavens’ manual and then chose twenty-two other martial techniques before heading towards the exit of the black market.

“A thousand two hundred taels, spent in the blink of an eye.”

“Money flows like water. I’ll have to buy medicinal cuisine too. It seems I’ll have to make more trips to the mountains.”

Lu Changsheng had a sense that gathering herbs in the mountains might no longer be sufficient.

After all, the valley’s herbs had been mostly harvested. What would he do without herbs?

He needed to come up with another way to earn money.

“Huh? That figure looks familiar. Wait a minute, isn’t that the fat sheep we lost track of last time?”

“Yes, it’s definitely him. Even though he’s disguised, how can he hide from my sharp eyes?”

“Heh heh, last time we lost him, but this time we can’t let this kid escape again!”

“Just now, it seems this kid made a big purchase in the black market. We can’t let him get away.”

In the black market, three figures watched Lu Changsheng like venomous snakes.

Subsequently, they closely followed Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng had only walked a few steps when he sensed something was amiss. It was clear he was being followed.

“As expected, the black market is a haven for all sorts of people, and this time I’ve been targeted again…”

Lu Changsheng sensed the three figures behind him, but he remained calm and unafraid.

Leaving the black market, Lu Changsheng turned onto several streets. However, the more he walked, the darker and emptier the alleys became.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng stopped in his tracks.

He looked up and saw that a figure had appeared in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere.

Lu Changsheng also quickly turned around and noticed two figures behind him.

He was surrounded!

But Lu Changsheng remained calm. In a composed tone, he asked, “You three are blocking my way. What can I do for you?”

“Kid, what did you buy in the black market just now?”

One of the masked men inquired.

“Nothing much, just a martial technique manual. It’s not worth much.”

Lu Changsheng replied casually.

“Not worth much? I saw you spend a full twelve hundred taels of silver on it.”

“And a few months ago, you spent several hundred taels of silver in the black market too. Tsk tsk, you’re quite wealthy.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Several months ago, he had felt that someone was following him in the black market. It seemed that these three were the culprits.

In other words, he had been targeted by them last time as well!

While they talked, the three men kept getting closer to Lu Changsheng.

“Listen, we have no grudge against you.”

“If you’re interested in the money I have on me, I can give it to you.”

“There are three thousand taels of silver in the package for you.”

Lu Changsheng proposed, taking a step closer to the man in front of him.

“Three thousand taels of silver?”

The three men’s eyes widened, their excitement growing.

They had thought they were dealing with a small fish, but it turned out to be a big one!

This time, they would make a huge profit!

“Hurry up and hand over the package.”

The three men were impatient.

Lu Changsheng, meanwhile, was measuring the distance.

One step, two steps, three steps…

Lu Changsheng saw that he was less than five steps away from the man in front of him and smiled.

He suddenly threw the package high into the air.

“The money is yours.”

As the package soared high, all three men’s gazes were fixed on it.

“Now!”

In the next moment, a cold light flashed in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
