Chapter 148: Chapter 147: Young Brother, I Beg You (Please Subscribe)

After roughly browsing through the first page, Chen Fan had a preliminary understanding of this martial art.

This martial art gathers one’s Spiritual Power at the fingertips to directly attack the enemy’s Divine Soul, causing instant death with no visible trace.

But it has its flaws.

Firstly, the range is limited.

Secondly, it requires a high level of Spiritual Power from the user. If one’s Spiritual Power is insufficient and they forcefully use it, it can easily turn them into an idiot, and if the opponent’s Divine Soul is strong, it could cause a backlash.

But these are not crucial flaws for him.

On the contrary, it gives his immense Spiritual Power another use.

From a certain perspective, a martial artist who learns how to use Spiritual Power can be considered an Awakener.

Chen Fan quickly looked at the Skill Bar, afraid that it might be fake.

[Soul-Annihilating Finger (Incomplete): Completely Ignorant (0%)]

[Current Collection Progress: 14%]

[Completion Requirement: 200 points of Spiritual Power]

[Requirement Met, Completion Time: 10 hours, Complete Now?]

Seeing this, Chen Fan felt relieved.

Not only was the cultivation technique real, but the completion requirements were easily met.

Of course, this ease was relative to him. For most Awakeners, achieving 200 points in Spiritual Attribute is very difficult, let alone for a martial artist.

Chen Fan flipped through a few more pages, the time required was reduced by nearly half, to just over 6 hours.

After clicking "Yes," his gaze rested on this martial art.

He thought to himself, although this martial art is also a Spirit Secret Manual, it should be more focused on killing. In terms of enhancing Spiritual Power, it might not be as good as the Moon Observation Technique.

However, it’s still quite good. The more skills one has, the better. If he really encounters an Awakener in the future, a sudden spiritual attack could be quite surprising.

Seeing Chen Fan close the secret manual, the old man chuckled, "Little brother, are you satisfied? These three books are all genuine, you know, I really went all out this time."

"I find them decent. I’ll take them back for my elder to review. The price is eighty each, right?"

Said Chen Fan, looking at him warily.

Last time, they had agreed on eighty each.

If the other party raised the price this time, he would definitely not agree. It’s not about the money, but about integrity.

"Well..."

The old man rubbed his hands together, "Since you, little brother, are an honest person, I could make it a bit cheaper."

"???"

Chen Fan was stunned, suspecting he had misheard. Was the old man offering to lower the price?

Could it be that the sun was rising in the west?

The next second, he decisively shook his head,

"No need, old man, I think the price is quite fair."

As the saying goes, when things are offered for free, one is either a swindler or a thief.

This old man surely had ulterior motives!

"Little brother, don’t, don’t rush,"

The old man, uncharacteristically embarrassed, said, "Actually, actually I have a small favor to ask of your elder who is an Entry Force Martial Artist."

Chen Fan squinted his eyes.

"Are you certain it’s just a small favor?"

"It really is a small favor."

He quickly added, "I want your elder to go to Anshan City to deliver something for me."

"Go to Anshan City to deliver something?"

Chen Fan frowned, then shook his head, "I’m sorry, old man, my elder is very busy and probably doesn’t have time to do this for you."

The old man’s idea was quite beautiful, thinking to use a few dozen yuan to get an Entry Force Martial Artist to do something for him.

Besides, whether this matter is really as simple as he said is also a big question mark.

"Little brother, please, help me, it’s really not a dangerous task,"

The old man had no choice but to say, "My granddaughter’s twentieth birthday is in a few days, I just want to send her a birthday gift; it’s really as simple as that."

"Then why don’t you go yourself?"

Chen Fan asked.

"This, from Song Family Castle to Anshan City, it’s nearly a hundred miles, at my age, I fear I won’t make it halfway."

He looked aside, seemingly hiding something.

"I’m sorry, old man, we really can’t help you with this matter."

Chen Fan sighed, took out more than two hundred yuan from his pocket, counted out two hundred and forty, and placed it in the old man’s hand.

This scene made everyone around envious.

"Little brother, how about this?"

The old man was still reluctant to give up, "If your elder is willing to help, I’m willing to give him a complete secret manual!"

"A complete secret manual?"

Chen Fan’s ears pricked up, surprised and curious, "What kind of secret manual?"

"It’s a secret manual for cultivating True Qi."

The old man looked around and lowered his voice, "Isn’t your elder an Entry Force Martial Artist? Beyond Entry Force is the cultivation of True Qi. If he is willing to help, I’m willing to give him this True Qi cultivation manual, it’s absolutely genuine!"

"Are you sure?"

Chen Fan was tempted but remained skeptical.

"If I’m lying to you, let me be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

The old man took a vicious oath, deeply emotional.

Chen Fan gazed into his eyes.

"It’s really just about delivering a gift?"

"Really."

The old man sighed, "If your elder is willing, I’ll give you the item and address afterward. If they accept the gift, great. If not, you can bring the item back, and I’ll give you the secret manual."

Chen Fan contemplated.

A complete secret manual, just for doing a favor, didn’t seem like a bad deal?

He suspected that the old man had been waiting for him specifically.

"Old man, if it’s really as simple as you say, I suppose it’s doable. But if my elder finds it’s not the case, you may have to pay extra."

"That won’t be necessary."

The old man quickly shook his head, "It’s really just about delivering a gift."

As he spoke, he carefully took out a small box from his pocket.

To reassure Chen Fan, he opened it, revealing a grasshopper woven from straw and a note.

"Just this?"

Chen Fan blurted out.

"Just this."

The old man smiled.

He closed the lid and instructed, "The address is on the note. Once your elder reaches Anshan City, it’s easy to find."

"Alright, but I need some compensation beforehand."

Chen Fan said.

His instinct told him there might be more to it, but the simplicity of the item meant the risk was low.

Such an opportunity was rare; it would be a pity to miss it.

"Fine."

The old man gritted his teeth, "Next time you come, I’ll give you another complete martial arts manual. Does that sound fair?"

"Even if it’s an incomplete one, I need it."

"Deal!"

The old man agreed.

Complete manuals were scarce, but he had some incomplete ones.

"Then, pleasant cooperation."

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

The next time he came, he would at least get two complete manuals, including one for cultivating True Qi.

It fit perfectly with the saying, "When feeling sleepy, a pillow is just presented."

"Little brother,"

The old man didn’t immediately hand over the item but said solemnly, "When you come next time, I will ask you some questions to confirm if your elder went. If he didn’t, I won’t give the manual."

"Rest assured, old man, my elder is a man of his word. Once he agrees, he won’t break his promise."

Chen Fan said.

The elder he referred to was, of course, himself.

He was indeed an Entry Force Martial Artist.

Besides, he needed to go to Anshan City to purchase weapons and elixirs; this was just a minor task.

"Good, little brother, these words put my mind at ease."

The old man finally placed the small box in Chen Fan’s hand.

Chen Fan’s gaze fell on the dozen or so secret manuals in front of him, "Old man, can I look at these too?"

"Of course, you can look."

The old man hesitated, clearly nervous.

Chen Fan immediately understood but still held a glimmer of hope. Upon inspection, all were fake.

"Old man, that’s it then."

He stood up, ready to leave.

"Little brother, make sure to keep the item safe. Best to deliver it to my granddaughter, if not, it’s okay." He sighed.

"Hmm."

Chen Fan indicated that he understood and turned towards the exit.

Only when Chen Fan’s figure disappeared from sight did the old man reluctantly retract his gaze and heavily sigh.

...

"Great!"

After hearing Chen Fan’s account, Meng Yu said joyfully.

"Yes, that man committed many evils; he deserved to die. But the forces behind him are troublesome. If you have enough Spiritual Power, can you forecast if anyone will come looking for trouble?"

Chen Fan said.

Meng Yu, now able to somewhat use her abilities, was indeed a big help.

He wasn’t worried about direct trouble for himself but was concerned about the enemy attacking the village in his absence.

That would be catastrophic.

"Yes, I will."

Meng Yu nodded heavily, curious, "Are the forces behind him very powerful?"

"Yes, his elder brother is an Awakener," Chen Fan paused, "I heard he is a C-level Awakener with the ability of Mind Control."

"C-level Awakener, Mind Control!"

Meng Yu’s reaction was intense.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Fan suddenly realized something, "Do you know him?"

Meng Yu’s eyes widened with some fear but more hatred.

"Guan Delong, that man, was one of the main conspirators who imprisoned my sister!"

Meng Yu said through gritted teeth.

No wonder Guan Dexi’s name sounded familiar; she hadn’t thought much of it at the time.

It turned out the two were indeed from the same family!

Chen Fan was silent.

This was unexpected, yet credible.

After all, there were only a few C-level Awakeners in Anshan City.

Only they would have the power to control Meng Yu’s sister.

He took a deep breath, looking at the teary-eyed Meng Yu, "You want to rescue your sister, right?"

Meng Yu nodded but then lowered her head.

She knew her sister wasn’t a match for them, let alone herself.

As for Chen Fan, though powerful, those people were also strong and had numbers.

"I will help you."

Chen Fan’s voice rang out.

Meng Yu looked up, incredulous.

Chen Fan smiled, "I’ll help you rescue your sister and reunite you. Trust me, that day won’t be far off."
