Chapter Sixty: Nine Tribulations Blade Technique



What about "Ten Thousand Cuts of Life", "Heaven-Shaking Fist", "Thirteen Sword Techniques", "Heaven-Piercing Hammer"...?

Oborozuki remained expressionless: ...

etc,

Is this a martial arts technique? Or just some cheap trick?

Even when she was in the Demon Clan, Longyue had never seen a martial art with such an unreliable name. She remembered what kind of Demon Clan technique she had been practicing back then, it was called "Ten Thousand Demon Treasure Book".

Compared to this, it doesn't seem to be much better...

(ー_ー)!!

These martial arts techniques are not cheap. At a glance, Longyue estimated that the cheapest ones cost several thousand to tens of thousands of spirit coins. Of course, these are distributed to the general public.

After all, there are far more ordinary people than wealthy people nowadays, so most of the products in the mall are targeted at ordinary martial artists.

The other part of the products are not on this page, or rather, they cannot be seen on this page.

Ordinary people buy ordinary goods, while the goods needed by martial artists with financial means are in another section, which requires logging into a personal account.

Within the online store, each person's account is linked to a bank account, and bank customers are categorized into membership levels.

From bronze to gold, then to platinum, diamonds, and beyond.

Only individuals with Platinum accounts can access another page of the store.

Platinum members, on the other hand, need to have 100 million spirit coins stored in their bank accounts.

Longyue is now a diamond member, with a two-digit account balance plus eight zeros. These are the benefits and rewards she received after joining the Black and White Martial Arts Academy.

So, the uniforms at the martial arts school are really quite good.

After logging into my personal account, the page that had just displayed a white background instantly changed to a light blue background, and the entire theme also changed to a beautiful light blue, the color of the sea.

The items inside have changed; they are no longer as diverse or abundant as before, and are now rather monotonous.

However, the prices listed below the product descriptions are disheartening.

118 million...

Two hundred and forty million...

There were very few items worth tens of millions; all you could see were a string of zeros.

Having just escaped poverty, Longyue's hand trembled, and she almost closed the page.

Open the selection bar and click the "Knife Techniques" filter. Her main weapon now is a knife, so other martial arts skills are not very useful to her.

If I choose other martial arts techniques, I'll have to buy the corresponding weapons, which is too troublesome. Besides, I'm comfortable using the Canglan Blade, so for now, I'll leave it at that.

Sure enough, the page after selection became even more monotonous and clean, with nothing but sword techniques at a glance.

The differences between various sword techniques are not as vast as they seem, but they are not entirely the same either; each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Different sword techniques have different requirements for the sword and different effects on attack power. Buyers need to make their own comparisons. Each sword technique has a detailed description below.

Finally, Longyue chose a sword technique called "Nine Tribulations". The sword technique has nine levels, which increases attack power by 50%. It can also be practiced by lords. In theory, this should be a very popular martial art, but in reality, almost no one buys it.

The price isn't high either, only a little over 700 million, which isn't unaffordable.

Unable to figure it out, Longyue stopped thinking about it. Just as she was about to pay, she saw the following message:

Students from the five major martial arts schools can enjoy a 10% discount!

A-level talent can get a 50% discount!

Just as she was about to proceed with facial recognition, Longyue paused for a moment, calmly closed the page where the transaction was about to take place, clicked on the authentication page, and submitted her information.

The verification was approved in just a few minutes.

Below, a line of small print appeared: Black and White Martial Arts School S-level student.

Once Oborozuki was satisfied, she placed the order and continued browsing other items.

The transaction page shows that the transaction was successful and the goods will be delivered within twelve hours.

The staff behind the e-commerce platform saw that someone had placed an order, and when they looked up, they saw the title: "Nine Tribulations".

He casually remarked, "Another martial artist has chosen 'Nine Tribulations.' Didn't they all see that small print? 'Non-talented martial artists should not purchase.'"

"Sigh, there are always so many people who don't believe in superstitions. If they like to buy, let them buy. Why should we care so much? Isn't it good if they're foolish and have too much money?"

Another colleague replied with his head down.

Their office isn't very busy; they mainly manage this page, and not many people place orders. Getting a few dozen orders a day is considered good.

"Forget it, I'll still call and remind him. Several hundred million is no small amount. What if he can buy a more suitable martial arts technique?"

"No need to call anymore, didn't any of you see who placed the order?"

Although the backend does not display the real person's name, the nickname is still there, so you will naturally see the small print after the nickname.

"S-rank, no wonder..."

The staff suddenly realized why they would buy "Nine Tribulations"; in this light, it was quite a suitable purchase.

Longyue didn't care what others thought. Once her martial arts skills were up to par, she would participate in the Level 6 martial artist assessment. She could only stay at home for a maximum of ten days before she had to leave.

Master Ye Qing said that with her talent, staying in the martial arts school wouldn't be of much help. She needs to constantly engage in real combat to accumulate experience. Therefore, the trial, which originally only involved a few A-level students, will now include her and Li Hei.

At the very center of the first residential area in Binnan District, this is where Wu Guangbin, the head of Binnan District, and his staff reside.

In a conference room inside a tall building in the central area, Wu Guangbin sat at the lower right of a large long table.

The only person who could make the head of Binan District sit below him was his immediate superior.

Xu Liang is the person in charge of the entire Shangjing.

Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction on his serious, somewhat aged face, and said to Wu Guangbin, "Xiao Wu, you deserve a lot of credit for Binnan District winning first place this time."

Wu Guangbin quickly shook his head, "Mayor Xu is joking, all of this is thanks to them."

"Hehe, you don't need to be modest. Although they earned the first place, you also deserve credit for your effective management. The resource allocation for next year has already been determined. Take a look."

Opposite Wu Guangbin was Xia Xin, the head of the Binbei District, who was looking at the documents in his hand with a gloomy expression. One hand was under the table, and the veins on it were bulging.

...

"Alright, that's all for now, meeting adjourned."

Xu Liang was the first to walk out of the conference room.

"40% of the resources have been allocated to Binnan District. That's quite a generous move."

As soon as his boss left, Xia Xin couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, though his words were mostly tinged with jealousy.

Wu Guangbin raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Xin lightly. "We have to thank Binbei District for their generous help. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get such a good ranking as first place."

Everyone knows what happened on the battlefield. Ordinary people may not be aware of the details, but how could they not understand?

The heads of Bindong District and Binxi District looked at each other and shook their heads. They had shot themselves in the foot. Who was to blame?
