Chapter 410 - lncident [2]
"...I want you to teach me martial body. Your family four stars and a half martial technique."
A rather awkward atmosphere enshrouded the place as Han Yufei"s calm and composed face finally crumbled.
Even when we were fighting his face had never once changed this much. It was clear that he was extremely shocked by my request.
"...Are you making fun of me?"
Han Yufei suddenly stood up as he sharply glared in my direction.
A threatening aura sprung out from his body, shrouding the whole room.
"You think that just because I surrendered in the tournament, that I"m now a pushover?"
His voice was becoming increasingly louder with each word he said.
Pushing my hands down, I tried to calm him down.

"No, I don"t think that at all. Calm down and listen to me."
But that didn"t seem to work as Han Yufei got even more riled up.
"Calm down? ...how do you expect me to calm down when you just asked me to teach you our family"s most prestigious art? Do I look like a joke to you?"
"Of course, I know what I asked was outrageous, but I obviously have something of equivalent value in exchange."
"...Eh?"
Han Yufei suddenly froze.
"What did you just say?"
Finally gaining Han Yufei"s attention, I continued.
"What I"m trying to say is that I"m willing to exchange something of equal value with you in order for you to teach me the martial technique. In fact, you can also say that it"s actually a notch above what you"re going to teach me."
"A notch above?"
Han Yufeis"s brows furrowed at my last words. He was obviously not convinced. I smiled at his doubt.
"Yeah, I can offer you something even better than your family martial arts."
Han Yufei sat back down.
His eyes were filled with interest.
"Got him."
I thought as I inwardly smiled to myself.
Just by looking at his eyes, I could tell that I had gained his interest. This was all I wanted.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Tapping on the table with my right hand, I remained silent for a couple of seconds. Staring at Han Yufei who was looking back at me, I only spoke up once I noticed that he was about to lose patience.
"In exchange for you teaching me your martial technique, I will give you a five-star manual."
The room froze at my words as Han Yufei was unable to process what I just said.
But it didn"t take too long for him to finally understand what I said as his eyes shot wide open. Standing up and smacking the palm of his hand on the table, he leaned forward.
"Did you just say five-star martial manual?!"
His voice cracked a little as he said those words.
It was clear that he was still in disbelief by my proposal.
Staring at him from my seat, I nodded back.
"Yeah. I will give you a five-star manual in exchange for your family art. That simple."
"The Gravar style"
That was the five-star manual that I was planning to exchange with him.
I had always had this plan in mind whenever I saw Han Yufei. The Gravar style, although powerful, was practically useless to me.
Even though Han Yufei was not a sword user, Han Yufei wished nothing more than for his clan to rise into prominence and dominate the other Chinese clans.
The Chinese clans were quite powerful, and there was a lot of compet.i.tion amongst them.
By owning a five-star sword manual, the chances of his clan rising to prominence would drastically improve.
Obviously, by giving him the Gravar style, I wasn"t just trying to get his martial manual, but I was also trying to form a connection with the Chinese clans.
Han Yufei remained silent. Squinting his eyes, he appeared to fall into deep thought. But it wasn"t long before he managed to recompose himself and carefully ask.
"...How can you prove to me that you are not laying?"
I smiled at his question. I had long seen it coming.
"It"s simple really."
Taking a small piece of paper from my dimensional s.p.a.ce, I slid it over.
"We can sign a mana contract."
The moment the words "mana contract" escaped from my mouth, all doubts seemed to have been dispelled from Han Yufei"s head as his brows relaxed.
"Let me see it."
Before saying anything else, sliding the piece of paper in front of him, Han Yufei carefully looked through it.
"Hm?"
But as he was looking through it, his brows which had previously relaxed furrowed once again.
He then proceeded to put the paper down.
"This is not a mana contract."
"No, it"s not."
I shook my head.
Before he could voice any complaints, I quickly continued.
"These over here are just the terms that I want to propose for the deal. Regarding the mana contract, you can be the one who provides it. I"m sure you will feel like it"s more secure if you are the one that makes the mana contract, right?"
Although hard, it wasn"t impossible to replicate a mana contract.
There were many out there that had been duped by fake mana contracts, and so, by allowing him to provide the mana contract, I was essentially showing him my willingness to cooperate with him.
Of course, that was merely on the surface. In reality, a mana contract of that caliber was just too expensive for me to purchase.
I just couldn"t afford it at the moment.
"I see."
Fortunately, it seemed as though Han Yufei bought the excuse as he thoughtfully nodded his head. Then, taking the paper back, he continued to look through it.
I secretly smiled to myself when I saw this.
"...eh?"
Furrowing his brows once again, Han Yufei put the paper down and pointed toward a certain section of the draft contract.
"Over here it says "The signee of the contract will join Ca
