Chapter 5
Dong Wende’s fat body rippled. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Chu Zhou warily.
He knew Chu Zhou too well as his best friend for many years. Nothing good ever happens when Chu Zhou reveals this “friendly” smile.
“Ahem Ahem Mm, fatty, what kind of look is that? Don’t you trust me?” Chu Zhou said with a hurt look on his face.
Dong Wende shook his head violently, not giving him any face. “No, I don’t trust you!”
“…” Chu Zhou’s face darkened.
Why did he answer so bluntly? Why wouldn’t he give him some face?
“I knew you would trust me! You want to hear my thoughts? Alright, no problem. I’ll tell you now!” He continued on anyway.
Dong Wende: “…” This method again! How many times had he used it? He was in despair.
“Ahem ahem, fatty, I have a profitable ‘investment project’ on hand. I’ll let you in on it for cheap on the account of our many years of friendship!” Chu Zhou acted as if he did not see Dong Wende’s desperate gaze and continued.
“Look! The person sitting in front of you now is the future powerhouse of humans. What’s the best investment? Talent! You only need to invest a small sum of 4,000 Alliance Dollars to obtain the friendship of a future powerhouse… Think about it, isn’t this investment extremely profitable and worth the while?”
“Crackpot, do you know what your biggest characteristic is?” Dong Wende’s mouth twitched slightly. “You are both shameless and black-hearted!”
Chu Zhou smiled. “Defamation, this is definitely defamation! I’m clearly an honest and reliable young man!”
Dong Wende rolled his eyes, but he still transferred 4,000 Alliance Dollars to Chu Zhou on the spot. His family was pretty well-off so 4,000 Alliance Dollars was nothing to him. Most importantly, he knew that Chu Zhou was actually a very self-respecting and proud person. He would definitely not have borrowed this money if it was not very important to him.
“Fatty, believe me, this investment of yours will definitely be worth it!” Chu Zhou received the notification and patted Dong Wende’s shoulder, remembering his help.
At night, Chu Zhou and his best friend, Dong Wende, came to the cafeteria for a “feast” again. His Attribute Points increased by another 0.45.
Chu Zhou appeared in the martial arts cla.s.sroom on time the next morning at six.
Big Sister Saber was already waiting for him there! She was wearing a white shirt and tight black leather pants, looking energetic and sharp.
“Chu Zhou, you’re already cultivating the Curved Hand Blade. I’ll teach you the Sharp Blade Kick today! Curved Hand Blade and Sharp Blade Kick are both imitating the attack of a Blade with body parts. The principles are the same. These two combat techniques are actually a set of combination skills. When used well, all of your limbs would become blades. There would be blades everywhere. It would be ferocious!”
“This combination skill might be a D-rank combat technique but if you cultivate it well, its power will not be inferior to a C-rank combat technique!” Big Sister Saber briefly introduced the Sharp Blade Kick and walked to a corner of the cla.s.sroom.
There were four to five huge rocks as tall as a person there. It was used to test the power of combat techniques.
“Look closely, this is the Sharp Blade Kick!” Big Sister Saber suddenly jumped as she spoke. Her right foot kicked forward like a scimitar, drawing a sharp arc upward.
A blue stone, as tall as a person, was cut into two like tofu with a swoosh.
Big Sister Saber leaped towards the other boulders. Her feet were like two incomparably sharp scimitars, constantly carving arcs.
All the rocks were cut into two in just a few breaths. Furthermore, the fractures on every rock were very smooth.
“Mastery Realm Sharp Blade Kick!” Chu Zhou looked at the large stone fragments with smooth cuts. His gaze could not help but focus as he exclaimed softly.
“That’s right. This is the power of the Mastery Realm Sharp Blade Kick. Do you see now? Even though the Sharp Blade Kick is only a D-rank combat technique, its power is still immense as long as the realm is high enough. The power of a combat technique depends not only on its level but also on the cultivator’s mastery.” Big Sister Saber explained as she walked out through the rubbles.
Chu Zhou raised his eyebrows. He had just personally experienced the might of Mastery Realm Curved Hand Blade yesterday. Of course he knew how powerful Mastery Realm combat techniques were.
“Of course, the Mastery Realm Sharp Blade Kick is still far away for you. What you have to do now is to cultivate the Sharp Blade Kick. You can then combine it with your Curved Hand Blade to form a combination skill. This way, your strength will greatly increase!” Big Sister Saber specially reminded Chu Zhou, worried that he would bite off more than he could chew.
“Teacher, I understand!”
Chu Zhou smiled without telling Big Sister Saber that he had already mastered the Mastery Realm Curved Hand Blade.
“Alright, next, listen carefully to my explanation and learn the key points of the Sharp Blade Kick!”
Big Sister Saber walked to the podium in the cla.s.sroom and pressed the remote control. A three-dimensional image of a human body appeared on the big screen.
Big Sister Saber began to explain the muscles, bones, and power routes involved in the training of the Sharp Blade Kick in great detail. She also marked them on the three-dimensional map of the human body.
Chu Zhou understood how to cultivate the Sharp Blade Kick in no time since its principle of attack was similar to the Curved Hand Blade.
“Do you understand?” Big Sister Saber asked a moment later.
“I roughly understand it!” Chu Zhou replied.
Then, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. He recalled what Big Sister Saber had just told him while comparing the Curved Hand Blade with the Sharp Blade Kick.
About ten breaths later, his figure suddenly moved, and he kicked forward with his entire leg straightened, fiercely drawing a curved blade-like arc upward.
An explosion sounded in the air.
“What?” Big Sister Saber’s expression stiffened when she saw this.
She was asking Chu Zhou if he understood the principles of cultivating the Sharp Blade Kick.
However, Chu Zhou’s kick showed that not only did he understand, he also directly cultivated it to the Basic Realm.
He learned it immediately? What kind of monster is this?
Big Sister Saber looked at Chu Zhou in shock.
Chu Zhou kept using the Sharp Blade Kick. His legs were like two sharp long knives that kicked out crescent-shaped arcs.
Waves of air explosions resounded throughout the entire cla.s.sroom. The arcs of his legs gave off an increasingly sharp afterimage as he continued.
A sharp aura spread out and the explosions in the air gradually became like the sound of a piece of newspaper being torn apart. This was the manifestation of more concentrated and sharp power.
“The Proficient Realm!” Big Sister Dao was so shocked at this scene that she was left speechless.
