My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 469: Chapter 304: Road Expenses

Everyone turned to look at Fan Shigang.

No need to ask, since he was brought along for bungee jumping, this guy definitely knew something!

"This really isn’t my fault, Sister, you must testify for me, I didn’t say any of this!"

Fan Shigang repeatedly waved his hands.

"Brother, is there really such a miraculous manual?" Sister Kong asked curiously.

Seeing the eager eyes of those around him, Fan Shigang couldn’t help but nod reluctantly.

"A manual... indeed, there is one."

"Hiss—" As soon as Yan Feng and a few others heard this, they instantly couldn’t stay calm.

Could there really be a manual that directly points to Dark Energy?!

However, everyone naturally knew that such a treasure wouldn’t easily be shown to others.

Yan Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart.

It was already an enormous favor for them to guide Yan Weiwei and help her break through. He was being too greedy...

But, even knowing a phrase or two from Weiwei might greatly benefit the Martial Arts heritage of the Yan family, and that was indeed thrilling.

"Hold on! Brother Fan, if Sister came here to train, then why did you jump as well?"

Hu Yifei stroked his chin, signaling he had discovered another crucial point!

"Right!" Kong Wu also realized.

Their disciple could barely handle a pirate ship ride without getting nauseous, yet he followed them in jumping... This obviously didn’t make sense!

"Cough!" Fan Shigang coughed and said with a dry laugh.

"Because I also practiced that manual, haha!"

"What?!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Don’t... don’t get excited. I am just a practice partner, and my aptitude isn’t good enough. I haven’t learned anything yet..."

Fan Shigang shrugged.

Kong Wu glared.

You should be thankful just for seeing it, and you still want to master anything?

From a third-rate to Dark Energy?

"Speak! What’s really going on? Who gave you the manual!" he pointed at Fan Shigang.

At this moment, Kong Wu’s hands trembled with excitement, thinking that only Weiwei was lucky, but his disciple might also have such an opportunity.

Could it be that a master of Dark Energy would emerge from his disciples soon?

"It’s not that I won’t tell you, but I swore an oath, I really can’t speak!" Fan Shigang said with a pained expression.

"What oath is more important than your master’s command? If you don’t tell, believe it or not, I’ll make your sister and you cut ties!" Kong Wu threatened fiercely.

"Dad!" Sister Kong protested sweetly.

Fan Shigang immediately teared up.

If I speak, I won’t be able to marry Sister Kong, if I don’t, you want Sister Kong and me to cut ties...

There’s no difference at all...

Fan Shigang stiffened his neck, his face resolute.

"Master, one must keep his promises. I can give you the manual, but I can’t say anything else!"

"You little rascal, still daring to bargain with your master? You... eh? Wait a minute! What did you just say?"

Kong Wu was about to roll up his sleeves but then finally realized something was off in what Fan Shigang had just said.

"I said I can give the manual, but I can’t say anything else about it..."

Fan Shigang gazed eagerly at his master.

"You... you’re not joking?" Kong Wu was flabbergasted.

In terms of importance... this seemed completely backward, right?

"Xiao Fan, don’t spout nonsense!"

Although Yan Feng’s heart skipped a beat, he immediately put on a stern face.

Although Fan Shigang stubbornly refused to admit it, there were only a few people around Yan Weiwei, one of whom was "the best in the world."

By piecing it together, they could guess the owner of the manual.

"It’s your fortune that they were willing to teach you, but if you reveal such a thing without their permission, ignoring the ethics of the martial world, that would create a huge feud!"

"How could I dare? They demanded that nothing be revealed... except for this manual..."

Fan Shigang explained innocently.

"You see, if they are willing to teach someone unrelated like me, everyone should be able to tell what kind of generosity and magnanimity they have, right?

They never intended to keep the manual secret in the first place.

He also said, his biggest pet peeve is people who hoard knowledge and experience like family treasures, not understanding that the ’spirit of sharing’ is the essence of human societal progress and development.

Oh! This sentence is a direct quote."

Yan Feng and Kong Wu looked at each other.

Can a manual of this level be shared?

What generous spirit is this?!

And as Yan Feng pondered, it felt like this guy was subtly criticizing him.

So... was he using his own "hoarded" Twelve Road Spring Leg Summary, and perhaps even his own daughter, to exchange for a manual that could enable one to achieve Dark Energy overnight?

Was this trade a gain or a loss?

"They already shared it. Why didn’t you say it earlier!" Kong Wu exclaimed angrily.

"Well, the disciple just wanted to study it for a few more days before presenting it to you two..." Fan Shigang said with a sheepish laugh.

Mainly because admitting he hadn’t mastered anything in front of Sister Kong would be too embarrassing...

Even a "once in ten years" talent needs to save face, right?

"Where’s the manual then?" Kong Wu was no longer interested in lecturing his disciple.

"Oh! I had it hidden on me," Fan Shigang said as he reached into his chest.

The crowd was speechless.

The manual had been right by his side all along, and if they had known, they would have searched him without a word...

However, when they clearly saw what Fan Shigang pulled out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Brother, this...this is the manual?" Sister Kong was somewhat confused.

Please, even if it’s not some golden book or iron voucher that’s invulnerable to fire and water... you shouldn’t be using a white A4 photocopy paper as a cover, right?!

With just this manual’s appearance, would it have been too much to use an antique thread-bound cover?

And... "Overclocking Scripture"?

What a weird name. Was it seriously chosen?

"Ah! It’s still the original draft given to me, exactly the same as the one in Master Yan’s hands.

I guarantee, it was definitely printed from a printer..."

Everyone: "..."

"Cough! Expert actions indeed aren’t concerned with trivial details."

Yan Feng cleared his throat, then took the manual from Fan Shigang’s hands.

Then, under the eager gaze of everyone, he began to tremble slightly as he turned the first page to start reading...

Kong Wu also couldn’t wait to join in, and the two of them, being the oldest, took up all the space, leaving the younger generation no choice but to wait.

...

"Yifei, do you think this manual is real? To make your master take it so seriously, that Meng Lang... who exactly is he?" Dabai Lang curiously asked.

"How would I know? But he really doesn’t seem like any ordinary person.

Racing with a professional driver, causing business tycoons to seek him out deliberately, and boy! Now he even knows martial arts...

Tsk tsk! You think he might be a retired King of Soldiers from overseas?"

Hu Yifei marveled in amazement.

He also didn’t know if this manual was as mystical as Yan Feng said.

But Mr. Liu, Mr. Yu, along with Yan Feng and Kong Wu, these cross-sphere big shots, were all shockingly held captive by Meng Lang’s few words and a couple of punches.

This person... if he isn’t genuinely skilled, then he’s probably just "choking on his dreams"...

"Retired King of Soldiers? Why don’t you say he’s a Cultivator instead?"

Dabai Lang rolled his eyes.

Then, as if remembering something, he reminded.

"Yifei, the more extraordinary Meng Lang seems, the more seriously we should take his words, right?"

Hu Yifei was speechless.

"Even if he is a retired King of Soldiers and his kung fu is impressive, it’s impossible for him to excel at everything and have such a sharp eye for investments, you really think he is some omniscient immortal?"

Meanwhile, seeing that everyone’s attention was captured by the manual, Fan Shigang quickly picked up his phone and stealthily sent out a message...

...

"Hmph! I knew the old man would definitely check into this matter."

Yan Weiwei put down her phone, pouted her lips, and showed Meng Lang the "double agent" message sent by Fan Shigang.

"What a trivial matter, let them research if they want to, I’d be glad if all martial artists around the world could help give their opinions.

How can society progress without sharing?"

Meng Lang just glanced at it and continued eating his candied hawthorn.

Apart from nuclear weapons and Zero’s kind of Destructive Level stuff, there was no technology in his eyes that couldn’t be disseminated.

The more advanced the technology spread out, the more advanced the feedback received after improvements, and the sooner he would possess it compared to others, why not enjoy the benefits?

Bluntly speaking, the world’s knowledge and technology...

What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine!

This Earth is his technology incubation field, and all humanity... they are his incubators!

If it weren’t that many technologies in his hands were too sensitive, violating the taboo of "highly sophisticated technology of unknown origin", he would have shared them all.

Others are always thinking about keeping their technologies confidential, while I’m the only one worrying about how to make collective progress.

Sigh! In an era where everyone wants to monopolize, only I am the true successor of sharing ideology...

"Giving away such things so casually, I really don’t know what you’re thinking. Aren’t you afraid others will learn and surpass you..." Yan Weiwei said helplessly.

"That’s a bit narrow-minded, don’t you think? We’re all Earth people, think bigger.

What’s a ’Hero of Guanzhong’ compared to the vast universe?" Meng Lang preached.

Having one more expert adds a ray of hope to humanity’s future.

If we can’t form an Ancient Martial Army, raising the upper limit of top human force values is also good, right?

At least there will be a few more survivors.

Besides, without my overclocking drug combination, the ’Overclocking Scripture’ will at most cultivate a few Dark Energies. To cultivate a true expert of transformational energy, it would really be as difficult as Hell...

If anyone could actually cultivate transformational energy solely based on this manual... then what are we waiting for?</p
