Chapter 473: Chapter 471 In the Same Line of Descent

Wen Wen was the first to open the Xun-Style Sword Technique.

The thickness of this sword technique book was similar to that of a high school physics textbook, and the style of illustrations and text also bore a striking resemblance to physics textbooks.

Wen Wen seriously suspected that the layout of this book was based on educational texts, and holding the book made him feel as though he was back in his student days.

A CD apparently containing video explanations was attached to the title page; hmmm... This was even more like a high school textbook.

However, these things were not very useful; what mattered was the content inside. The Xun-Style Sword Technique was much thicker than the Nameless Swordsmanship, and its contents were considerably richer.

It’s just that the table of contents looked a bit off.

Chapter One: Introduction

Section One: What is Swordsmanship---

Section Two: What is the significance of learning swordsmanship---

Section Three: How to choose a sword suitable for oneself...

Although it seemed full of laughable points, it really was packed with substantial content, and every piece gave Wen Wen some insight.

Indeed, you get what you pay for—it outclassed the basic sword technique books he had bought before by far too many margins.

Even the foundational content here was considerably profound and greatly beneficial to Wen Wen.

After the basics, it was one sword technique after another, each at the very least of the same level as the four techniques from the Nameless Swordsmanship that he had already mastered.

Some of the strengths of individual techniques even slightly surprised Wen Wen in his current state.

If he could fully comprehend the Xun-Style Sword Technique, then his strength would definitely rise again.

Even if his own superpower, "Dark Matter," had not broken through to the Disaster Level, he could still use this sword technique to break through the strength barrier and possess power beyond the Disaster Intermediate Sequence!

But as the saying goes, easier said than done, mastering a sword technique secret manual is no easy feat.

Take Wen Wen, for instance, had it not been for the "Scarlet Heart" the Sanctuary forcibly implanted in him at the beginning, he might not even have reached the beginner’s stage.

Moreover, it was his considerable strength, which was out of proportion with the realm of swordsmanship, that served as a support for him to reach this level. If it were a regular person, no matter how much they studied this sword technique, they could still be taken down by a single gunshot.

Even for Wen Wen, mastering new sword techniques required repetitive practice, and the sword techniques here would keep him busy for a long, long time.

As he flipped through the pages, Wen Wen’s pupils suddenly shrank—he saw a familiar technique, the Rapids Style from the Nameless Swordsmanship!

Although the Xun-Style Sword Technique had made some modifications to the Rapids Style, Wen Wen could still tell that the framework of the move was definitely the Rapids Style.

He began to re-examine the Xun-Style Sword Technique, this time with a focus on finding sword techniques he was familiar with. Soon, he found the Heart-Piercing Style, Iron Cleaving Style, and Thunderclap Style!

Although the names of the techniques were different, based on the initial movements, the flow of Sword Qi, and several key points, these four techniques in the Xun-Style Sword Technique were clearly modified from the four techniques in the Nameless Swordsmanship!

"Could the predecessor who left behind the Nameless Swordsmanship be related to the Xun Family?"

After pondering for a while, Wen Wen gave up thinking about it. He could be certain of a connection, but many years had passed, and the reasons behind it had dissipated like smoke. He saw no need to pursue it further.

However, precisely because these two sword techniques had a continuous relationship, Wen Wen would find much ease in beginning the Xun-Style Sword Technique. Choosing to buy the Xun-Style Sword Technique was indeed the right decision.

Then Wen Wen picked up Advanced Rune Analysis. The book felt heavy in his hands, like a thick dictionary. Upon opening it, he was greeted by dense runes and their analyses, and just one glance was enough to give him a headache.

"To truly grasp this book is probably harder than memorizing the entire Capital Grand Dictionary."

"But difficult as it may be, I must learn. Without studying, I cannot improve my mastery of runes."

"The Xun-style Sword Technique and Advanced Rune Analysis can be set aside for now; both of these books require continuous effort over time to yield results."

So Wen Wen turned his attention to the "Thrown Weapons Instruction Book."

This book had only a few pages, listing common types of throwing weapons and providing simple instructions for each."

Wen Wen finished the section on throwing spears in one glance; the content wasn’t substantial, but it still benefitted him greatly."

At least now he knew the most efficient and accurate way to throw a spear."

After memorizing the key points, Wen Wen left the sanctuary, went out of the city, found a deserted open space, and began to practice."

Throwing a spear doesn’t require very sophisticated techniques, but to make it powerful enough, repeated practice is necessary."

Wen Wen practiced the whole afternoon, pockmarking a rock face with holes before he finally stopped."

Now, he could hit any human-sized target within a range of 200 meters with a spear, but the precision and speed were still lacking. He needed to reach a level where he could throw and hit the target without a second thought."

With his Disaster Intermediate Sequence strength, throwing a spear could be more dramatically powerful than a rocket launcher; in terms of damage inflicted on a single point, not even a Cloud Bomb could match the spear."

The special material of the spear allowed it to perfectly blend with Wen Wen’s strength, enabling it to pierce through a target, unlike firearms that could only deliver fixed power."

This meant that every time Wen Wen tested it, he had to dig a hole in the rock face and pull out the spear..."

"These things should be remade to have an automatic return function. It’s ridiculous to fight for two minutes and spend an hour retrieving weapons..."

Wen Wen was about to continue training when the Ranger Terminal on his waist vibrated. He picked it up and furrowed his brows immediately."

"Another assigned mission...? The location is in Qi Ling Mountain. I’m so far from Qi Ling Mountain, why choose me?"

Rangers typically worked under relatively relaxed conditions. Some might not encounter obligatory missions for half a year, yet Wen Wen faced two in a row. This second one was even more unrelated to him, which made him slightly suspicious."

But despite his suspicions, he still had to carry out the mission. So, he immediately rushed to the airport, prepared to catch a flight to Haibei Province, where Qi Ling Mountain was located."

Three Cubs lay on Wen Wen’s arm, looking sullen. They couldn’t take the car this time, and it wasn’t pleased at all."

Initially, it had been coerced into driving, but now it had grown fond of the sensation of driving."

Somehow, massage chairs had become standard equipment at airports and train stations; the airport in this city had also installed rows of brand-new massage chairs."

When Wen Wen arrived, there were no seats left for him."

A somewhat overweight woman glanced at Wen Wen, then threw a few coins into the chair. The chair started to move, making her so comfortable that she squinted her eyes in pleasure."

This made Wen Wen rather envious; he too wanted to experience the feeling of a massage."

So, he took out his Ranger Terminal, turned on the vibration mode, put it on maximum, and slipped it into his pocket."

The Ranger Terminal was designed to accompany rangers in battle, boasting many powerful features, and the vibration function was no exception."

Therefore, when Wen Wen started vibrating, his face rippled with afterimages, and his hair began to fly wildly about, making him look like a mad figure in the midst of the airport scenery..."
