Around 12 o'clock in the morning,
Mirigyue Community.
In front of Wei Wen's villa, a staff member from the Extreme Martial Arts Gym arrived, carrying a suitcase.
"Mr. Wei Wen, this is the secret book information for the first five levels of the Nine-Level Thunder Sword that you purchased. You can open it directly with your fingerprint," the staff member said respectfully, handing the suitcase to Wei Wen.
Wei Wen casually accepted the suitcase and touched the top with his finger.
Ding.
"Fingerprint verification passed."
After opening the suitcase, Wei Wen briefly checked its contents. Inside was a single book about five centimeters thick and a few CDs.
"Nine Layers of Thunder Sword." Wei Wen saw the four words on the cover and immediately closed the suitcase.
"Please sign here," the staff at the Extreme Martial Arts Gym requested with a smile, looking at Wei Wen with awe. The secret book for the first five levels of the Nine-Level Thunder Sword cost half a billion Huaxia coins. It was surprising for a new warrior to afford such an expense.
After Wei Wen signed, the staff member explained the book's restrictions.
"To put it simply, the copyright of the cheats belongs to Thor. The cheats purchased by individuals only grant them personal use; they cannot be copied, sold, or taught to others. For instance, the 'Nine Layers of Thunder Sword' you purchased will be recorded in the joint information databases of Extreme Martial Arts, the Underground Alliance, Thunder, and Lightning Martial Arts, etc.
If someone else discovered or bought this secret book but practiced the 'Nine Layers of Thunder Sword,' they would be arrested. Additionally, if you allow others to buy it on your behalf, the database will only record the other person's purchase, so the cheats cannot be transferred."
However, there were no such restrictions on weapons and equipment, which he planned to let others purchase on his behalf.
"Just this cheat book and five CDs alone are worth ten billion," Wei Wen remarked with a smile.
He pondered how many people had purchased Thor's "Nine Layers of Thunder Sword." With a simple calculation, it wasn't hard to imagine how wealthy Thor had become.
"Creating secret books is indeed the most profitable venture. If I find myself short on cash in the future, I might consider making money by selling secret books. But with Luo Feng working for me, I won't be in need of money."
He knew that for powerful individuals on Earth, money no longer held much value. Many things he wanted couldn't be purchased with money.
Martial Arts Training Hall on the Second Floor.
The Nine-Level Thunder Sword technique was divided into three parts: one was the power sword technique, while the other two were supporting body techniques and guidance techniques.
There was no need to explain the sword technique—it improved explosive power, capable of increasing strength by up to seven times.
Wei Wen opened the secret book and read through it briefly. As for the movement technique, "Liu Guang," that accompanied the Nine Layers of Thunder Sword, it was beneficial as well, aiding Luo Feng in understanding movement techniques. The introduction could help Wei Wen.
The guidance technique, "Nine Layers Chanting Source," attached to the Nine-Level Thunder Sword was said to be the strongest guidance technique on Earth, allowing practitioners to absorb the original energy of genes more efficiently. This was why the God of Thunder, who created the Nine Layers of Thunder Sword, had the strongest basic physique on Earth.
After reviewing the secret book repeatedly, Wei Wen decided, "I'll start by practicing this sword technique." He stood in the martial arts training hall, swinging an ordinary sword according to the technique's principles.
The reason the Nine-Level Thunder Sword Technique could exceed conventional power was due to its unique method of force application.
For instance, when an ordinary warrior swung a sword with all their strength, they typically used 100% of their body's strength. However, a practitioner of the "Nine Layers of Thunder Sword" would wield the sword using only 70% of their power. At the moment of the swing, they would focus on unleashing a second gravitational force, effectively combining the two forces for a greater impact.
Wei Wen swung the sword hundreds of times in succession, trying to see if he could stack a burst of dark power onto the explosive force of a single swing. But he couldn't achieve it; the motion of the swing was too swift.
At such a moment, it was difficult for most people to unleash a second force immediately after the first. Even after nearly a month of practice, Luo Feng still failed to succeed.
"So, I can only silently admire Luo Feng," Wei Wen thought to himself.
At the same time, Luo Feng's status as a warrior had also diminished. He had made the decision to purchase the first three levels of the Nine Layers Thunder Sword.
Your bound friend Luo Feng purchased the first three levels of the "Nine Layers Thunder Knife." You receive the first three levels of the optimized version of the "Nine Layers Thunder Knife."
In the martial arts training hall on the second floor, Wei Wen, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes in surprise. Just moments ago, a piece of information about the optimized version of the Nine Layers Thunder Knife had suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I've seen the original 'Nine Layers of Thunder Sword' created by Thor before buying it, and I've been confused since I started practicing it," Wei Wen thought to himself. "Now that I finally have an optimized version of the Nine Layers Thunder Sword, my practice speed will undoubtedly increase."
"Although my current talent isn't high, I might practice the Nine Layers Thunder Sword faster than Luo Feng," he mused.
The original Nine Layers Thunder Sword technique was rather tedious, relying heavily on the principle of "practice makes perfect." It encouraged practitioners to strike a thousand times, believing that understanding would emerge from sheer repetition. This method required continuous honing of skills and mastery of power to achieve explosive effects.
In reality, for Thor, who created his own secrets to generate power, his methods were akin to a blind man trying to grasp an elephant. Naturally, self-created techniques would not compare to the optimized Nine Layers Thunder Sword.
Moreover, personal wisdom is limited, which also accounts for the flaws in the original Nine Layers Thunder Sword. The optimized version addressed the defect of not being able to synchronize defensive amplitudes and was more advanced than Thor's original technique.
Just by recalling this optimized secret manual for exerting force, Wei Wen immediately felt the difference between the two. The optimized method for exerting force was significantly easier to master.
Previously, Wei Wen had practiced the Nine Layers Thunder Knife for several hours without any progress. However, just by recalling this optimized version, his ability to control power improved rapidly, leaving him astonished at the speed of his advancement.
He began to explore the first force of the Nine Layers Thunder Knife, adjusting the speed and angle of the sword repeatedly. His expressions fluctuated between frowning, looking happy, and silently recalibrating his strength.
While Wei Wen was practicing the optimized Nine Layers Thunder Sword, he suddenly received a call from Zhou Zhengyong.
"President Zhou is calling me right now. I wonder what's going on..." Wei Wen thought as he answered the phone.
"Wei Wen, your status as a warrior has been processed, and the startup capital along with the free cheat code quota should have been received," Zhou Zhengyong said with a smile.
"I have far more startup capital and free cheats than ordinary warriors, thanks to your support, President," Wei Wen replied, smiling back.
"Haha, don't worry about the small stuff," Zhou Zhengyong said, his tone calm. "The secret books are now available at half price. I trust you've already selected the ones you want?"
"I already bought it," Wei Wen responded.
"Oh?" Zhou Zhengyong paused, surprised. "What secret book did you choose?"
In Zhou Zhengyong's opinion, passing the B-level assessment was no easy feat. He believed that if Wei Wen bought high-level secret books like World Destruction or Nine Layers of Thunder Knife, most people would focus solely on the power of the ultimate secret book without considering the difficulty of practicing it. Perhaps after a month, he might not see any progress at all.
Thus, he thought Wei Wen should opt for simpler, easier-to-practice secret books. Although the growth limit of such cheats might not be high, they could yield faster improvements in a short period. After all, he planned to recommend Wei Wen for a place in the elite training camp, where success would greatly enhance his achievements.
