As he continued to browse, Zhao Xing saw many sound wave martial skills, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Many had decent effects and power, but were difficult to train and required a lot of auxiliary materials.

Some were cheaper, but their power was rather average.

After carefully considering for half an hour, Zhao Xing finally decided on three sound wave martial skills.

[Kui Niu Thunder Roar: Intermediate Martial Skill]

[Category: Sound Wave Secret Technique]

[Price: 8000 points]

[Kui Niu Thunder Roar, the sun and moon lose their light]

[Description: After purchase, one set of training resources is provided, including Hundred Beasts Throat Pill, Earth Evil Lung Training Pill, Eighth-Grade Bull Sound Meat, and Lung Gold Spirit Liquid, etc.]

"The hide of the Kui Niu can be used to make drums, its bones can be used for mallets, and its sound can travel tens of thousands of miles. This is a sound wave secret skill passed down from the era of the Ancient Sects." Seeing this familiar name, Zhao Xing hesitated no more and placed his order.

Because he knew the strength of this sound wave martial skill, which was among the top in sound wave techniques, and it could be cultivated continuously upwards. The intermediate skill he was now looking at was just a part of the complete secret technique.

"I already have 3 Hundred Beasts Throat Pills and 2 Earth Evil Lung Training Pills, so actually, I only need to spend 4000 points to purchase the remaining materials for this secret technique."

As for the other two sound wave secret skills, they were [Sound Folding Technique・Sound Blade] and [Sound Folding Technique・Sound Stab].

The materials were relatively cheap and easy to handle.

Zhao Xing bought double the materials, which cost another 4000 points.

If the Kui Niu Thunder Throat proved too difficult to train and showed little effect within twenty days, the [Sound Folding Techniques] could be used as a temporary measure.

"Place the order!"

When purchasing Kui Niu Thunder Throat, Zhao Xing made a special note, and only 4000 points were deducted.

Purchasing [Sound Folding Technique] in two types, double quantities, another 4000 points were deducted.

Originally, after exchanging the Thunder Stone for points and adding the 5000 points from the ranking resources and the 1000 points from reporting in, he had a total of 14,000 points.

Now with the deduction, only 6000 points were left.

"Six thousand points, that should be sufficient for now." Zhao Xing didn’t feel pained about spending the points. They were just numbers sitting there, unable to reproduce; of course, it was better to spend them!

....

Fifteen minutes later, at the entrance of the Eighteen Locust and Willow Courtyard.

"Clip-clop-clip-clop~"

The familiar sound of bamboo horse hooves approached, and a Mechanical Master, holding a large box, stopped outside the courtyard gate.

"Zhao Xing, your delivery has arrived!"

The Mechanical Master shouted at the top of his lungs.

There was no choice, the courtyard was too large, and a softer call wouldn’t be heard.

The voice spread out like ripples in water, and Zhao Xing flew over to see the Mechanical Master standing outside the gate, which slightly surprised him.

"Old Gao, you’ve got quite a voice, have you cultivated a sound wave skill?"

Gao Ming was the name of the Mechanical Master delivering the goods. After delivering letters and goods a few times, he had become acquainted with Zhao Xing.

"Yep, I’ve cultivated the Yin Xun Nine Explosions. We Mechanical Masters don’t have that much time to train in martial skills, just enough to get by," Gao Ming said with a smile. "I’m too lazy to dismount and trigger the array on the gate, a shout does the job more easily."

"Alright, toss it here, and you can get on with your business."

"Okay, here you go." Gao Ming tossed over the package, which landed steadily in Zhao Xing’s hands.

"Clip-clop-clip-clop~" He rode off on his bamboo horse.

...

Inside the courtyard, Zhao Xing, carrying the package, made his way to the training room.

"Everything has arrived."

"It’s actually quite heavy."

The boxes were separate, three in total, one large and two small.

The small ones obviously contained the two sets of [Sound Folding Technique].

"The Sound Folding Technique is easier to start with; I’ll train it first to lay a foundation."

Opening the box, there was a martial skills classics inside.

Whether it’s martial skills classics or spell classics, these pages all contain a hint of the Way.

As Zhao Xing flipped through them, the method of Qi circulation for "Sound Folding Technique" appeared in his mind, while the words on the pages came to life before his eyes.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" All the characters from one page transformed into human figures, practicing the skill in front of Zhao Xing.

"The classics must have cost something, too. They seem more advanced than the books I saw in Gucheng," Zhao Xing reflected quietly.

After reading it, he opened the two smaller boxes.

The boxes contained third-tier elixirs and a bottle of Spiritual Liquid for protecting the throat and lungs, to avoid injuring the organs and vocal cords during initial training.

Otherwise, just shouting for half an hour would likely leave one’s throat hoarse.

"Begin training!"

....

The next day, at dawn.

"Ha!"

Zhao Xing opened his mouth, and a rush of air rose from his abdomen, bringing a sharp pain, then it compressed through his throat and mouth.

"Swoosh!"

With a slight movement of his lips, a lance made of sound waves, vaguely diamond-shaped, shot out and forcefully hit the wall in front of him.

"Thump!"

The walls of the practice room were reinforced with an array, and the impact only left a white dimple on it.

"After a night of hard training, I’ve mastered the second technique, reaching the first-turn martial skill level."

Zhao Xing checked his panel.

[Sound Folding Technique・Sound Blade]

[Intermediate Martial Skill: 1254/9999]

[Sound Folding Technique・Sound Stab]

[Intermediate Martial Skill: 1005/9999]

"Although Sound Blade and Sound Stab from the Sound Folding Technique are two different skills, they share similarities. Only the auxiliary materials required are different."

"They’re easy to get the hang of, and their power is not small," Zhao Xing touched his throat, feeling no ill effects, and continued to train.
