w.a.n.g Feng Valley.
A place with roads headed in all directions, able to discern wind directions from multiple angles.
What matters is one of the five major forces that possessing a large number of weapons and equipment that can enhance strength, even including martial arts secret manuals was based here.
The geographical location of w.a.n.g Feng Valley, typical for being easy to attack but difficult to defend, is due to the mult.i.tude of paths leading into the valley. However, it is precisely this geographical feature that makes the business in w.a.n.g Feng Valley so bustling.
In front of a man-made wooden house, five men were engaged in a heated discussion.
“Take this ‘Furious Wind Lightfoot’, once mastered, you can fly over walls…” “No, no, no, this ‘Phantom Steps’ is better, it’s more helpful in combat…” Behind the wooden house, a burly man, growing impatient, urged, “Hurry up, if you’re buying, be quick about it, don’t interrupted my business further!” The five men dared not get angry and quickly discussed among themselves, finally making a decision.
“We’ll take this ‘Phantom Steps’!”
“One hundred zero coins!”
After obtaining the manual, the five men quickly stored it away and chose a path to leave the valley, hastily departing.
There were still quite a few people entering and leaving the valley, but everyone was in a hurry, keeping a certain distance from each other.
Only after completely leaving the range of w.a.n.g Feng Valley did the five men breathe a sigh of relief. They found a secret base prepared in advance and quietly hid inside.
“d.a.m.n it, I heard that in the camp, this kind of technique costs only one zero coin, but they resold it to us for a hundred, such a rip-off!”
“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. Who else but these five major forces can enter the camp, right?!”
“Alright, enough talk, keep quiet!”
The group instantly fell silent.
After about fifteen minutes, a series of bird calls sounded outside the tree hole.
The five men were overjoyed. One of them held up a finger and also emitted a bird call.
Moments later, a group of about ten people approached them, meeting up with the few men in the tree hole.
The man leading the group, clad in a full set of white armor, looked brave and extraordinary.
He became excited and quickly asked, “Did you get it?!”
“We did!”
One of the five men took out the secret manual from his chest and reluctantly handed it to the man in white armor.
“Phantom Steps, good!”
The man in white armor glanced at the cover and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Boss, let’s leave. This place is too close to the inner circle; it’s not safe!” a young man with dyed yellow hair nervously said.
“Right, right!”
The man in white armor reacted quickly, urging, “Retreat, let’s talk about it back at the mountain!”
The group left without leaving a trace behind.
Not long after they left, a figure stealthily arrived.
“They’re indeed a group…”
“These people have spent over a thousand zero coins this time. They’ve struck it rich…”
A glint of greed flashed in the man’s eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to follow them.
His lightfoot skills were remarkable; he moved swiftly among the trees, covering hundreds of meters in just a few breaths.
“Almost there!”
The man in white armor, leading about a dozen people, had been running wildly for three hours before they finally stopped.
The group was exhausted. They couldn’t hold up any longer and just sat down on the spot.
“Ah, if only we had all learned Lightfoot skills, we wouldn’t be this tired now, right?!”
“That’s true!”
There were smiles on everyone’s faces.
However, the man in white armor shook his head and said, “I didn’t choose Lightfoot skills.”
“Ah?!”
Apart from a few people beside him whose expressions didn’t change, the other ten were taken aback.
“We agreed that this time we would choose three techniques: one body tackle combat skill, one blade technique, and one Lightfoot skill…”
“But I thought about it, Lightfoot skills aren’t much help in combat, so I chose a kick technique instead!”
They had too many zero coins, more than a thousand, and fearing other groups’ covetous eyes, they split into three groups to purchase secret manuals separately.
But even so, they were still targeted by someone skilled in Lightfoot techniques.
“Kick technique… well, as long as it’s useful!”
The others didn’t mind, as the man in white armor was their leader.
The man in white armor laughed heartily, “Don’t worry, we’ll get Lightfoot skills too!”
“In a few days, when things have cooled down, we’ll take the remaining zero coins and buy more secret manuals…”
He then excitedly added, “Moreover, that group of students probably has other companions too!!”
“Once we get back, we’ll interrogate them properly, find out where they’re staying, set up an ambush in advance, and then we can make a big haul of zero coins again!”
The man with yellow hair, as always timid, said, “Boss, they have so many people, what if some powerful fighters appear?!”
From a building that descended, 3,500 people came; even if only over 2,000 were left, that was still quite a lot, more than their group of twenty could handle.
“Don’t worry!”
The man in white armor waved his hand, “If they stay where they are, it won’t be long before there aren’t many of them left…”
“By then, even having three to five hundred would be good!”
“Boss, according to those female students, besides that Xiao Xiao Long, they have two other threshold-level fighters, what if…”
“Don’t boost the morale of others and undermine our own spirit!” The man in white armor scolded him right away.
“A mere newbie at the threshold level, even if they have three, five, or six, so what?”
“Besides, I have a set of white-cla.s.s equipment, plus martial arts skills.. Even if they are at the entry level, they are no match for me!”
