High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Shadowless Swift Blade, Lightweight Water Floating

"Ah, is that so?"

Chen Fan quickly apologized, sounding sincere, "Sir, I’m really sorry, I didn’t pay attention and accidentally looked too closely."

"It’s alright, it’s alright."

The old man waved his hand, appearing magnanimous, "Little brother, this Nine Yang Divine Skill and the previous Tathagata Divine Palm are both supreme martial arts. If you buy them together, I can give you a discount, nine yuan each, how about it?"

"But this is still too profound, I can’t understand it. How about I look at something else?"

Chen Fan blinked.

He was starting to question his life.

Are both of these fake, or have I just not read enough to meet the system’s inclusion threshold?

Either way, he decided to read through all these dozen books. If there’s no gain, he’ll spend ten yuan to buy one for verification, just to test it out.

"Alright then."

The old man hesitated for a moment but nodded.

Compared to those who came before, this kid seemed more honest. Unlike some, who would read a sentence and ask a question, over and over, without buying anything in the end, wasting his time.

Seeing Chen Fan pick up a book, read for a while, put it back, and pick up another one, the people of the Chen Family Stronghold who arrived in succession were dumbfounded.

"Guodong, what is Xiaofan doing?"

"Is he picking martial arts secret manuals? But that old man is selling only fake goods, right?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Yeah, better not fall for his tricks."

Chen Guodong smiled wryly and said, "He must be selecting. But Xiaofan should know what he’s doing, let’s just watch."

"Hmm."

Everyone looked at each other, realizing they couldn’t really be of any help.

On the other side, the old man also fell silent.

Initially, when Chen Fan picked a certain book, he would enthusiastically introduce it, but the kid would put it down halfway through reading.

"Is this kid here to mess with me?"

He frowned slightly.

Just then, Chen Fan’s heart suddenly raced.

Got it!

Yes, he found a real one!

The details were as follows:

[Shadowless Swift Blade (Incomplete): Completely Ignorant (0%)]

[Collection Progress: 36%]

[Completion Requirements: Body Tempering Third Layer, Basic Saber Technique Level 5]

[Requirements not met, unable to complete]

This saber technique is extremely fast; often the opponent hasn’t seen your move before the blade reaches them, hence the name, Shadowless Swift Blade.

Coincidentally, he just bought a dagger. While a dagger is neither a knife nor a sword, it can be used as both, making it perfect for practicing this technique.

Even if someone got close and he couldn’t use a gun, he could defend himself with the blade.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan was overjoyed but made sure not to show it, as there might be more genuine manuals among the unread ones.

The old man, who wrote these techniques, surely knew what was what.

If the old man noticed anything unusual, Chen’s plan to get it for free would be ruined.

"Did this kid realize this technique is real?"

Unbeknownst to Chen Fan, the old man did sense that something was off.

But Chen Fan, just as before, put the manual back and picked up the next one.

"Hey, kid, are you buying or not?"

Seeing that more than half the manuals had been read without any intention to buy, the old man became impatient.

"Of course I’ll buy."

Chen Fan responded without hesitation.

"You’ve been looking for so long and haven’t found one you want?"

"I have, I just want to see if there’s anything better later on."

Chen Fan replied with a smile.

The old man’s gaze drifted over a certain manual, thinking to himself, there is one, but even if you see it, you’ll miss it.

Unless you buy them all, you won’t miss anything.
