High Martial Arts: Become a God by Spending Money, Start by Spending All Your Compensation Funds

Lin Yun and Su Nianhe entered the Black Star Warrior specialty store.

In stark contrast to the bright, clean, and technologically advanced style of the Tianwen store, the main color scheme here is a somber, dark black.

The walls are inlaid with polished animal bone plates, and cool lights spread along the grain of the skeletons, illuminating the items on the shelves with a cold glow.

The knife handles polished from animal bones, the daggers made from fangs, and the armor pieced together from scales are arranged in a staggered manner. Each piece carries the raw and rugged feel of the beasts, yet it is also infused with precise forging marks. The collision of primitiveness and technology creates a highly impactful chaotic texture.

"Welcome to Black Star Warriors."

A sales assistant in a black uniform quickly approached, her smile both standard and enthusiastic. Her gaze swept over the two of them, paying more attention to Su Nianhe, but without being overly obsequious.

"What would you two like to see?"

"I want to choose a top-tier Tier 1 battle sword."

Lin Yun got straight to the point.

His current cultivation level is still at the Martial Apprentice stage. Second-tier battle weapons require the blood and qi of a Martial Master to fully unleash their power. Forcing their use will only increase consumption and prevent them from reaching their full potential.

A top-tier Tier 1 battle sword is a perfect match for his current combat strength, offering the best value for money.

As for the budget, the Crimson Essence Pills awarded to the top student in the class have already sold for one million, and with the surplus from the guide's business, there are now a little over one million two hundred thousand in the card, which is more than enough to buy a top-tier first-level battle sword.

"Okay, this way please, both of you."

The sales assistant led the two deeper into the store, past two rows of shelves displaying daggers and short knives, and they arrived at the combat equipment section.

A row of battle swords of various styles hung on the wall, their blades gleaming with different colors of cold light, clearly categorized from low-grade first rank to top-grade first rank.

"These are our best-selling Tier 1 top-tier combat knives."

The sales assistant pointed to the three swords in the front row and introduced them.

"This Xuan Tie Type IV blade is thick and heavy, with extremely strong slashing power, making it suitable for body-refining martial artists; this Shadow Flow Type V blade is thin and light, focusing on speed, and is most effective when combined with movement techniques; and this Blood Fang Type VII blade is the latest model in the Blood Fang series, and is also the top-performing one among the top-tier first-class blades."

Lin Yun's gaze fell precisely on the Bloodfang Battle Blade on the far right.

The blade was long and narrow, half an inch narrower than an ordinary battle sword. The back of the blade was thick and tough, and two deep, dark blood grooves were cut on both sides of the blade. The grooves followed the curve of the blade to the tip, exuding a fierce and evil aura.

The blade is not a pure bright silver, but has a faint dark red luster, as if it has been quenched with blood. The handle is wrapped with fine animal hide patterns, and it feels excellent in the hand.

"This knife is interesting."

Lin Yun reached out and gripped the hilt of the knife, slightly lowering his wrist. It was a little heavier than he had expected, but it felt very comfortable in his hand.

Could you elaborate?

"You have excellent taste."

The sales assistant's smile widened even more.

"This Bloodfang Battle Blade is made primarily of the back bone of a top-tier first-level silver-armored beast, combined with one-third of it made of black gold alloy and forged seventy-two times. Its toughness and hardness far surpass those of other battle weapons of the same tier. The blade is inlaid with a layer of fang fragments from the Ink-toothed Wolf, making it 20% sharper than a typical top-tier first-level battle blade, with excellent armor-piercing capabilities."

She paused, pointing her fingertip to the blood groove on the blade, her tone tinged with pride.

"What's most special is these two blood grooves, which are coated with a layer of micron-sized active crystal nucleus coating."

Simply put, when the blade pierces the beast's body, the blood groove actively absorbs the vital energy from the beast's blood. If a tiny crack appears on the blade during combat, these crystalline coatings will instantly crystallize using the absorbed vital energy, temporarily sealing the crack. As long as it doesn't shatter from continuous high-intensity blows, this blade can last an entire beast-hunting battle without needing to switch weapons midway.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.

As expected of the Black Star Group, they actually came up with this kind of idea.

Once a common weapon develops a crack during combat, its strength drops drastically, and it can easily break, often leaving the user with no choice but to discard it.

This Bloodfang Battle Blade is like having an extra layer of emergency self-defense capability, which is extremely useful during long hunts or breakouts.

"How much does this knife cost?"

Lin Yun asked directly.

"One million five hundred thousand Chinese Yuan."

The sales assistant smiled and announced the price.

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

When he was in Qingcheng, he also learned about the market price of combat weapons. Most of the top-tier first-level combat weapons were priced between 800,000 and 1 million, with 1 million being the highest price.

This Bloodfang Knife is actually worth a full 500,000!

But then he thought about it again and felt relieved.

Firstly, the capital city is the core of the Dragon Kingdom, and prices there are naturally higher than in other cities.

Secondly, the forging process and active crystal core coating of this Bloodfang Battle Blade are indeed unmatched by ordinary first-tier top-level battle weapons, and its high price is justified.

He only has 1.2 million yuan in hand right now, and he still owes 300,000 yuan in bonuses, so he can't pay it off in one go.

"Can I place a reservation?" Lin Yun asked. "I'll pay a deposit first, and then pay the balance and pick up the goods in a couple of days."

The sales assistant's smile faded slightly, but she still remained polite.

"If you want to make a reservation, you need to pay a 30% deposit, and the balance can be paid within a week."

She didn't feel much contempt for him, but she thought the young man in front of her was quite arrogant. He didn't have much money in his pocket, yet he dared to look at the new Bloodfang series.

They just couldn't come up with the full amount, so they weren't a big client after all.

No reservation required.

Su Nianhe suddenly spoke up. She took out her wallet from her small bag, holding a card that was entirely black with dark gold patterns on the edges between her fingers, and handed it over.

"I have a membership card."

The moment the sales assistant saw the card, her pupils contracted sharply, and her polite smile instantly turned into genuine respect.

She quickly accepted the card with both hands, lowering her posture considerably: "So you're a Black Gold member. I was negligent before."

She had worked at the Black Star store for two years, so she naturally recognized the card.

This is the highest-level membership card in the Black Star Group, and the owner's net worth must be at least tens of billions.

Fortunately, she didn't make sarcastic remarks to Lin Yun, otherwise she would have offended a powerful figure.

The sales assistant quickly operated the POS machine, looked up and said, "According to the Black Gold member's 40% discount privilege, the discounted price of this Bloodfang Battle Blade is 900,000."

Su Nianhe didn't look at the POS machine, but turned her head and raised her chin at Lin Yun, her eyes crinkling.

"Pay up."

Lin Yun smiled and nodded, then took out his bank card and handed it over.

He's not the kind of person who's so concerned with saving face that he'd rather suffer than admit it.

Su Nianhe has a member discount, so why not take advantage of it? The 600,000 yuan she saves can buy a lot more cultivation resources, so why not?

As for favors, we can repay them slowly in the future.

With a beep, the payment was successful.

The sales assistant quickly retrieved a brand-new Bloodfang Battle Blade from the warehouse, carefully sheathed it in a custom-made animal hide scabbard, and placed it along with the after-sales service form in a specially made knife bag. She then handed it to Lin Yun with both hands: "Here you go. This knife can be repaired free of charge at any Black Star specialty store within one year if it is damaged without human intervention."

Lin Yun took the knife pouch, weighed it in his hand, and casually slung it over his shoulder.

The blade rests close to my back, the weight is evenly distributed, and it doesn't hinder my movements at all. It's much better than the standard combat knife issued by the school.

The two walked out of the Black Star store side by side, while the streets remained bustling with people.

"Thank you so much for today, you saved me a lot of money again." Lin Yun turned to look at Su Nianhe, his tone sincere.

Su Nianhe smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescents: "Now you know the benefits of shopping with me, right?"

Lin Yun smiled and nodded, then said, "With this handy knife, we'll be more confident going into the wilderness."

After much thought, he concluded that hunting exotic beasts was the most profitable method.

Su Nianhe's smile faded slightly, and her expression became more serious.

"Are you going to a dangerous place again?"

She knew that Lin Yun had stayed in the occupied area, but at least the occupied area still had city defense troops stationed there, so it was relatively safe.

The wilderness is a different story.

"Rebuilding your skills after losing them is a bottomless pit; relying solely on the business of guiding others is too slow."

Lin Yun's tone was helpless.

"Going to the wilderness to hunt exotic beasts is a win-win situation. You can sell materials to make money and hone your combat skills at the same time."

"That's true, but the wilderness is too dangerous." Su Nianhe frowned slightly and warned, "Not only are the beasts there of higher level and more diverse species, but there are also all sorts of people there, and double-crossing is commonplace. It's a lawless place. If you encounter anything suspicious after you go there, retreat immediately, understand?"

She knew Lin Yun was a stubborn person, and once she made up her mind, it was hard to persuade her otherwise, so she could only remind her to be careful.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Yun nodded.

"I'll go to the Hunter Association to take the official hunter license test first. The one that Uncle Fu got for me before can only be used in the Qingcheng occupied area, not in the wilderness area."

"That's true. A proper hunter's license is valid nationwide, and all supply points in the wilderness only recognize this one."

Su Nianhe pondered for a moment.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Lin Yun said.

The two parted ways on the street. Su Nianhe went back to school, while Lin Yun hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the nearest Hunter Association.
