Wang Dong was fuming. He got up from the ground.

Before he even opened his eyes, he had already charged in the direction of Chu Chen’s bed and started to spew curses at Chu Chen.

“Oh? Why don’t we go to the training ground to practice?”

Su Hei looked at Wang Dong and smirked.

“Huh?”

When he heard that voice, Wang Dong was stunned. He still had his eyes closed.

“This voice… sounds a little familiar,” he murmured.

His meaty hands rubbed away the eye discharge that was stuck to his upper and lower eyelids before he opened his eyes.

He was delighted to see Su Hei.

“Su, I want a hug!” he yelled.

As he spoke, he was about to pounce on Su Hei with his stout body.

Su Hei suddenly dodged to the side.

That fatty could not stop himself in time and charged toward Chu Chen, who was watching both of them. Wang Dong smashed into Chu Chen, and they both ended up falling to the ground.

“F*ck! Get lost! You’re so heavy that I’m about to be squashed to death by you!”

Chu Chen moaned in pain and kicked Wang Dong aside.

When Chu Chen finally stood up, he noticed that Su Hei was laughing secretly at the side.

He asked angrily, “What are you doing here?”

“To show you guys something good,” replied Su Hei.

Su Hei held out the Nine Revolutions Heaven Swallowing Technique.

“What is this?”

Chu Chen took it and frowned as soon as he flipped it open.

“I know that you are gifted, and you have outstanding performance. That’s why you can choose the cultivation manual you want before us, but there’s no need to flaunt it in our faces, right?”

Wang Dong got to his feet and laughed, seemingly without a care in the world.

“Don’t gauge the heart of a gentleman by your own mean measure. Su secretly went against the rules and brought the book for us to cultivate. This is for our own good, but you don’t appreciate it!” said Wang Dong.

He grabbed the secret manual and looked through it.

Su Hei smiled.

“Wang Dong is not entirely right. This secret manual is indeed for you to cultivate, but it isn’t from the library,” he said.

Chu Chen and Wang Dong were confused. “Then where did it come from?”

“It can’t be that you bought it yourself, right?”

“We saw it on the Internet. Although there’s no clear classification of cultivation technique manuals, there’s still a slight difference between the good ones and the lousy ones. The cheapest cultivation technique costs one million Base Coins. I can tell that this isn’t any ordinary manual just by looking at the first page. It must cost an arm and a leg, for sure! Where did you get so much money?”

The monthly allowance for the normal fighters in the City Defense Team was only 3,000 Base Coins, and the section leaders only had 10,000 Base Coins.

Su Hei was a rich second-generation heir in his previous life, but he was just an ordinary person here. It was impossible for him to come up with so much money.

“Who told you I bought this?” asked Su Hei.

He did not hold back the truth from them.

“This is a secret manual that I created myself. It’s the only one in the world,” Su Hei revealed.

Wang Dong and Chu Chen immediately rolled their eyes at him.

“Su, you’ve changed. Back in our previous lives, you weren’t someone who behaved so pretentiously,” Wang Dong said in disdain.

He stuck his finger into his nostril and twisted it back and forth.

“How dare you question me like this?” berated Su Hei.

He slapped Wang Dong.

The latter was so afraid that he stopped picking his nose and cried out.

“My nose almost bled. Will you be responsible for me if I’m disfigured?”

“Get lost.”

Su Hei said angrily.

Chu Chen watched their quarrel at the side.

He could not help but ask, “Did you really create this manual?”

Seeing Su Hei nod in response, Chu Chen and Wang Dong realized something was wrong.

It had been some time since they had become martial artists, so they had gotten a thorough understanding of martial arts.

Currently, the cultivation techniques circulating in the market were either created by mighty figures who could cross the starry skies and pluck the moon and stars or were created by geniuses who had fully comprehended martial arts.

Both kinds of people were incredibly rare, and they were seniors who had practiced martial arts for a very long period.

Su had unparalleled talent.

However, just like them, he had been in the martial arts world for less than a month.

He could actually create his own cultivation technique!

Moreover, looking at the content of the “Nine Revolutions Heaven Swallowing Technique”, it was definitely a top-notch secret manual.

If this manual was released to the public, it would definitely cause a sensation.

“Su, you’re so awesome!” exclaimed Wang Dong.

He had a fanatical expression.

Unlike Zhang Xiaofan, Wang Dong was originally Su Hei’s fan.

And now, he treated Su Hei like a divine being.

Gods were omnipotent!

“This is the original copy. You can make a copy and pass it to Li Hua and Jiang Jinyu. Don’t tell the others yet. I’ll teach them personally once they attain the qualifications required to practice this cultivation technique,” instructed Su Hei.

With that, Su Hei left Dorm 703.

He had just cultivated the Nine Revolutions Heaven Swallowing Technique and felt that a lot of power was being suppressed outside his body.

He needed to find a place to try it out.

He walked straight toward the war drums training ground.

–

Coincidentally, Li Burou, Bai Tiantian, Zhang Xiaofan, and Cao Guangning were also challenging the war drums training.

In the library, the four of them took out Heavenly Palace, Ten Thousand Beast Technique, Three Essence Wind Sword, and 13 Lightning Swords respectively. These were all cultivation techniques manuals that matched their respective class talents.

After a few hours of initial cultivation, their strength had improved.

Without prior discussion, all of them arrived at the war drums training ground to test their new strength.

“Spiritual Will Palace!”

Li Burou formed a seal with both hands.

A blue-white light appeared between his brows. If one looked closely, one could tell that it was a palace.

It was a mental attack transmogrified by his essence, Qi, and spirit.

“Fall!”

The faintly discernible palace swooshed past him and landed on the 32nd war drum.

Thud!

The sound of war drums was deafening.

At the same time, a huge wave of air surged and traveled down the entire passageway. “Break!” he ordered.

At this moment, Li Burou’s usual cheerful expression had turned serious. His gaze was resolute and unyielding.

“Break!”

With a furious roar, the war drum shattered into pieces and scattered over the ground.

The exquisite little palace that had been congealed from his essence, Qi, and spirit vanished.

“After more than two hours of cultivation, I’ve increased my strength by 1,000 pounds and broken a war drum,” Li Burou murmured to himself.

He smiled in relief that the secret manual he had painstakingly chosen could achieve such an effect.

–

In another passage, Zhang Xiaofan stood in front of his 30th war drum.

He was holding onto a longsword made by the survival base’s arsenal. At that moment, he had his eyes closed as he faced the war drums.

He no longer had an inferior and cowardly temperament. At this moment, a sharp sword intent had emitted from his body.

“Three Essence Wind Sword… Use the wind as momentum and utilize the profound meaning of the way of the sword,” muttered Zhang Xiaofan.

He was trying to comprehend the contents of that manual.

In the next second, his eyes widened.

A sharp sword qi shot out from his eyes.

At the same time, the sword flew out of its sheath with a deafening ringing sound.

“Slash!”

With one strike, the 30th war drum was split into two.

“It’s so powerful!” exclaimed Zhang Xiaofan.

Joy bubbled up inside of him and he smiled.

–

In the passageway where Cao Guangning was.

At that moment, lightning flashed in the passageway, and it would occasionally emit crackling sounds.

Like Zhang Xiaofan, Cao Guangning was also holding onto a longsword and he slashed out.

The 13 Lightning Swords erupted with a violent lightning aura that landed on the 24th war drum.

Instantly, it split into two.

This was not the end. The sword qi mixed with blue lightning arcs tore through the air and continued to slash forward.

After slicing through the 25th drum, the sword qi dissipated.

“13 Lightning Swords… It’s a success!” exclaimed Cao Guangning.

Cao Guangning’s eyes were filled with ecstasy.

“Just wait, Su Hei! It won’t be long before I trample you under my feet!” he swore.
