Chapter 202: Exchanging Earth Martial Arts?
Chapter 202: Exchanging Earth Martial Arts?
Indeed, he had been holding back.
He mainly wanted to keep a trump card.
If Jiang Cheng didn't reveal the contents of the Perfection Level in the end, he wouldn't be at a loss either.
Of course, Jiang Cheng wasn't sure how much truth there was to the secret martial art he spoke of, so he could only return and practice it to find out.
"Did you tell him?"
Jiang Cheng let out a cold laugh.
"You think you're the only smart one, and everyone else is a fool?"
"Wh, what do you mean?"
A hint of panic flashed in the man's eyes.
"Recite the contents of the Perfection Level again. Don't be clever. I've already cultivated both Seven Star Palm and Shattered Jade Fist to the Perfection Level. I'll know if what you said is true or not as soon as I hear it."
"!!!"
The man's eyes widened in shock.
The person before him had actually cultivated both secret martial arts to the Perfection Level?
He was already in his thirties, and he had only just reached the Mastery Level in Sunset Fist. To reach the Perfection Level, it would take several years, which was unrealistic.
If the person before him had achieved that, what level of strength would he possess?
Sixth Rank?
Or Seventh Rank?
At this thought, his body trembled in fear.
Although they didn't know each other's identities here, it was still best not to offend a powerful person.
"I, I understand."
He lowered his head, not daring to meet Jiang Cheng's gaze.
With a tense heart, he recited the contents of the Perfection Level.
On the panel, the Sunset Fist was finally collected in its entirety.
"This time, I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying."
"That's more like it."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"So, aren't you going to tell me the Perfection Level of Shattered Jade Fist now?"
The man's tone was hesitant.
He was afraid Jiang Cheng wouldn't tell him, and he was also afraid that Jiang Cheng wouldn't tell the truth.
"Don't worry. I'm not like you. I said I'd give you the true Crystal Shattering Technique, and I won't go back on my word. Listen up."
After saying this, Jiang Cheng stood up, ready to leave.
"Are, are you telling the truth?"
The man also stood up, asking anxiously.
"So, are you telling me the truth?"
"It's the truth! I'm telling you everything truthfully!" The man exclaimed.
"Then everything I told you is also the truth."
Jiang Cheng said and walked towards the door.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, the middle-aged man sat down on the sofa, clenching his fists tightly.
If the Crystal Shattering Technique was also real, he had hit the jackpot this time!
He had initially expected to reach the Fourth Rank Force Knight at most, but with enough time, he could now reach the Fifth Rank, or even the Sixth Rank!
As Jiang Cheng left the room, a smile also appeared on his face.
Another secret art obtained.
Continue.
It seemed that good luck had truly arrived.
When he knocked on the third door, a woman's voice sounded from inside.
"You have two Human Martial Arts?"
"Yes."
Jiang Cheng recited the two martial arts he possessed.
A clicking sound echoed as the door opened, revealing a woman wearing sunglasses and a white mask.
"Come in."
The two found seats, and the woman spoke, "I don't have any Human Martial Arts, but I have an Earth Martial Art that can open 36 acupoints. How about trading it for your two Human Martial Arts plus 100,000 gold?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng began to consider the offer.
Earth Martial Arts could open between 30 and 60 acupoints.
Although an Earth Martial Art that opened 36 acupoints was on the lower end, its price would likely exceed 200,000 gold.
It was definitely worth more than the two secret arts he currently possessed.
However, if he added 100,000 gold, it might not be a bad deal.
"100,000 gold is too much. 50,000 gold is more reasonable."
Jiang Cheng spoke, and the woman furrowed her brows slightly, then said, "Alright, but you have to give me the money first."
"Huh?"
Jiang Cheng looked at her, puzzled.
Did he really look like an easy target to her?
"It's impossible to give the money first. After we obtain each other's secret martial arts, I'll naturally pay you. You can record my words now. If I don't keep my word later, you can find others to judge."
The woman stared at Jiang Cheng for a moment.
"Alright, we'll do it your way, but you have to reveal one of your secret martial arts first. I'll say half of it, and after you finish telling the second one, I'll reveal the other half."
The more Jiang Cheng listened, the more he felt something was amiss.
This woman before him truly wanted to trade secret martial arts with him, not just scam him and run?
"I'm sorry, but the way you proposed is too unfair for me. We should change it."
The woman's brows furrowed, "What change do you want to make?"
"Considering the secret martial art you're offering is an Earth-type, I can take a slight loss. I'll reveal the entry-level techniques of the two secret arts in my possession, and then you tell me the entry-level technique of your Earth-type art. After that, I'll reveal the proficiency level, and you continue with the next level, and so on. Finally, when you reveal the perfection level, I'll transfer the 50,000 to you."
The woman thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright."
Her quick agreement took Jiang Cheng by surprise.
However, he dared not get too excited yet; who knew if what she revealed later would be real or fake?
Just in case, he continued recording with his phone.
After a while, Jiang Cheng said, "I've finished revealing the entry-level techniques. It's your turn now."
"Okay."
The woman began, "The Earth-type martial art I have is called Shattering Monument Leg Technique. Although it's average among Earth-type arts, its power after mastery surpasses your two fist techniques. If cultivated to the perfection level, it can reach the Seventh Rank Primordial Energy Knight, and shattering monuments and stones is child's play..."
As Jiang Cheng listened to her description, he kept a close eye on the panel.
Time ticked by, but the panel showed no sign of the words 'Shattering Monument Leg'.
The woman's voice suddenly stopped, as if she had grown tired. She even picked up a cup of water nearby and took a sip.
"Are you done?"
Jiang Cheng looked at her in surprise.
"Of course I'm done."
The woman glanced at Jiang Cheng, "Now it's your turn to reveal the proficiency level of your two secret martial arts."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
The panel didn't even show 'Shattering Monument Leg'.
In other words, the woman in front of him had been making things up.
Yet she acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Are you sure you're finished?"
"Of course I am."
The woman seemed annoyed.
"If you want to continue our cooperation, I'll give you one more chance to start over."
"What do you mean by that? Do you doubt the authenticity of what I just said?"
Jiang Cheng's tone turned cold.
"Hmph."
The woman gave a cold laugh.
"Anyway, I've already spoken, and what I said is true. Either we continue, and you reveal the next level, or we end it here, but you need to bring out another 50,000. What I just revealed was the entry-level technique of an Earth-type martial art, not comparable to the entry-level techniques of your two Human-type martial arts."
"You're truly shameless."
Jiang Cheng finished speaking and stood up, heading for the door.
"Hey! Did I say you could leave?" The woman slammed the table.
