After browsing through the first page, Chen Fan had gained a basic understanding of this martial art.

This martial art involves concentrating one's spiritual power at the fingertips to directly attack the enemy's soul, killing them instantly without leaving any visible trace.

However, it also has its flaws.

First, the distance is limited.

Secondly, it requires extremely high mental strength from the user. If the user's mental strength is insufficient and they force themselves to use it, they are likely to become an idiot. Moreover, if the other party's soul is strong, they will suffer a backlash.

But these were not fatal flaws for him.

Instead, it gave the immense mental power an additional purpose.

In a sense, a martial artist who has learned how to use mental power is also an awakened being.

Chen Fan quickly looked at the skill panel, fearing that it might be fake.

【Soul-Destroying Finger (Incomplete): Completely clueless (0%)】

Current collection progress: 14%

[Completion Requirements: 200 points of Spirit Power]

[Conditions met, 10 hours remaining to complete. Complete now?]

Seeing this, Chen Fan felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

Not only is the technique real, but the conditions for completion are also easily met.

Of course, this ease is only for him. 200 points of mental strength is a number that most awakened individuals cannot reach in terms of mental attributes, let alone martial artists.

Chen Fan flipped through a few more pages, and the time was reduced by almost half again, requiring only a little over 6 hours.

After clicking "Yes," his gaze fell upon the martial art.

He thought to himself that although this martial art was also a mental technique, it should be more focused on killing and might not be as good as the [Moon Gazing Technique] in terms of improving mental strength.

However, it's not bad. It's always good to have more skills. If you really face an Awakened in the future, a sudden mental attack could have an unexpected effect.

Seeing Chen Fan close the manual, the old man chuckled and said, "Young brother, are you satisfied? These three books are all genuine. This time, I, the old man, have really spent a fortune."

"It looks alright to me. I'll take it back and show it to my elder. It costs eighty-eighty-one yuan a copy, right?"

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he looked at him warily.

Last time, he had agreed with the other party that it would be eighty-one copies.

This time, if the other party raises the price, he will definitely not agree. It's not that he's short of money, but mainly that he has to keep his word.

Well...

The old man rubbed his hands together. "Since you're an honest man, young man, I can give you a discount."

"???"

Chen Fan was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard. This old man was actually offering to give him a discount?

Does this mean the sun rose in the west?

The next second, he decisively shook his head.

"No need, sir, I think the price is quite reasonable."

As the saying goes, those who offer unsolicited favors are either up to no good or are thieves.

That old man is definitely up to no good!

"Young man, don't, don't rush."

The old man was unusually a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, I have a small matter I'd like to ask your senior who has reached the advanced level for help with."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

"Are you sure it's just a small, trivial matter?"

"It's really just a small thing."

He quickly said, "I wanted to ask your senior to go to Anshan City and deliver something to me."

"Go to Anshan City to deliver something?"

Chen Fan frowned, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, my elder is very busy and probably doesn't have time to do this for you."

This old man had quite the idea; he wanted to use a few dozen yuan to have a martial arts master at the advanced level do something for him.

Moreover, whether this matter is as simple as the other party claims is highly questionable.

"Young man, please, help me out. It's really nothing dangerous."

The old man said helplessly, "My granddaughter will be turning 20 in a few days, and I want to give her a birthday present. It's really that simple."

"Then why don't you go yourself?"

Chen Fan asked.

"This, this is nearly a hundred miles from Songjiabao to Anshan City. I'm so old, I'm afraid I'll die halfway there."

He looked away, as if he was hiding something.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but we really can't help you with this."

Chen Fan sighed softly, took out more than two hundred yuan from his pocket, counted it, and put it into the other person's hand.

This scene drew envious glances from those around them.

"Young man, how about this?"

The old man was still unwilling to give up, and said, "If your senior is willing to help me with this, I'm willing to give him a complete manual!"

"The complete cheat code?"

Chen Fan's ears twitched slightly, a mixture of surprise and curiosity in his eyes. "What secret technique?"

"It is a secret manual for cultivating true qi."

The old man looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "Isn't your elder a martial artist who has reached the Entry-Level Strength realm? Beyond that, one needs to cultivate True Qi. If he's willing to help, I'm willing to give him this secret manual for cultivating True Qi—it's absolutely genuine!"

Are you sure?

Chen Fan was somewhat tempted, but still remained skeptical.

"If I'm lying to you, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

The old man made a solemn oath, and he was very emotional.

Chen Fan stared into his eyes.

"Is it really as simple as just giving a gift?"

"real."

He sighed and said, "If your elder is willing, I will give you the item along with the address later. If they are willing to accept it when you get there, that would be great. If not, that's fine too. You can come over later and I will give it to you."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

A complete manual; if I help someone out, it seems like I won't lose anything?

He seemed to understand why the old man had been so cooperative today; it turned out he had been waiting for him to come over.

"Sir, if this matter is as simple as you say, it's not impossible. However, if my senior finds out that it's not like that, then we'll have to charge extra."

"No, no, that won't happen."

The old man shook his head hastily, "It really is as simple as giving a gift."

As he spoke, he carefully took a small box out of his pocket.

Seemingly sensing Chen Fan's unease, it deliberately opened the package for Chen Fan to take a look.

Inside, there was a grasshopper woven from straw rope, and a note.

"Is this all you're giving us?"

Chen Fan blurted it out.

"This is it."

A smile appeared on the old man's face.

He closed the lid and instructed, "The address is on the note. Once your elder arrives in Anshan City, just follow the directions. It's easy to find."

"That's fine, but first you have to give me some compensation."

Chen Fan said.

His intuition told him that there must be something going on, but the gift was so simple that the possibility of danger was not high.

But such an opportunity is rare, and it would be a great pity to miss it.

"it is good."

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Next time you come, I'll give you a complete martial arts manual. Now, you should be able to agree, right?"

"Even incomplete copies are necessary."

"OK!"

The old man agreed.

He didn't have many complete manuals left, but he did have some incomplete ones.

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Chen Fan smiled slightly at him.

Then next time I come, I'm guaranteed to have at least two complete manuals, one of which is for cultivating true qi.

The analogy of someone bringing you a pillow when you're about to fall asleep couldn't be more apt.

"Young man,"

The old man didn't rush to hand over the item. Instead, he said with a serious expression, "When you come over, I'll ask you a few questions to make sure your elder hasn't gone there. If he hasn't, I can't give you the manual."

"Don't worry, sir. My elder is a man of his word. He will do what he promised you."

Chen Fan said.

The elder he was referring to was himself, of course.

He's a martial artist who has reached the level of internal strength, too.

Besides, I was just about to go to Anshan City anyway to buy some weapons and medicines; it was no big deal for me.

"Alright, young man, I'm relieved to hear that."

The old man then placed the small box into Chen Fan's hand.

Chen Fan's gaze fell on the dozen or so manuals in front of him. "Sir, can I take a look at these too?"

"Of course you can take a look."

The old man stammered, clearly feeling guilty.

Chen Fan immediately understood, but still clinging to a sliver of hope, he checked it over and found that it was all fake.

"Sir, that's settled then."

He stood up, intending to leave.

"Young man, remember to keep the things safe. Ideally, deliver them to my granddaughter, but if you can't deliver them there, that's fine too." He sighed.

"Um."

Chen Fan indicated that he understood and turned to walk towards the exit.

Only after Chen Fan's figure disappeared from sight did the old man reluctantly turn his gaze away and let out a heavy sigh.

……

"Very good!"

After listening to Chen Fan's account, Meng Yu said happily.

"Yes, that man committed many evils, so his death was not unjust. However, the power behind him is not to be trifled with. If you are mentally sharp, you can help predict whether someone will come looking for trouble."

Chen Fan said.

Meng Yu's ability to use her powers now is indeed a great help.

He wasn't actually worried that the other party would come directly to cause him trouble; what he was worried about was that the other party would take advantage of his absence to invade the village.

That would be terrible.

"Yes, I will."

Meng Yu nodded emphatically and asked curiously, "Is the power behind him very strong?"

"Well, that man's older brother is an Awakened One," Chen Fan paused for a moment, then said, "I heard he's a C-level Awakened One with the ability of mind control."

"Class C Awakened, Mind Control!"

Meng Yu's reaction after hearing this was quite intense.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fan immediately realized something. "You know him?"

Meng Yu's eyes widened, filled with fear, but even more so with hatred.

"Guan Delong, that man is one of the masterminds who imprisoned my sister!"

Meng Yu gritted her teeth and said.

No wonder the name Guan Dexi sounded familiar, but she didn't think much of it at the time.

Surprisingly, these two are indeed from the same family!

Chen Fan remained silent.

This was both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, there are only a few C-level Awakened in Anshan City.
