Chapter 215: I’m Not a Genius
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This fellow!
His intuition is f*cking terrifying.
Su Jingxing was inwardly shocked, but the aura he exuded remained calm and did not stir at all.
‘The next second, he turned around and prepared to leave.
If he continued to stay here, who knew how many more secrets would be revealed, forcing him to fight Lu Wuchang.
He was a third-grade martial artist. If there was no need, Su Jingxing didn’t want to become enemies with him.
“Wait!”
Seeing that Su Jingxing was about to leave, Lu Wuchang quickly said, “I know the secret of the stone tablets! On three legacy stone tablets, there’s a breathing technique recorded on one, an ancient military manual on the other, and a secret heavenly secret art on the last!”
Is this fellow for real?
‘The breathing technique had already been verified. Su Jingxing couldn’t be certain about the military manual and heavenly secret art.
If that was true.
“How do you know all this?”
Su Jingxing turned his head and asked in a low voice.
“Phew~”
Lu Wuchang heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he raised his eyebrows and grinned. “Because I’ve read Yue Dongliu’s Martial Sage’s Manuscript. Although Yue Dongliu, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, kept a low profile, he left behind a manuscript and it has been passed down to this day.
“This manuscript just so happens to contain the secret of the legacy stone tablets and some uses of Martial Art True Intent.
“Yes, I’m very honored. I’ve made a copy. As for the original, it’s in the Xia Family’s hands.
“If you are willing to make a deal with me, I’m willing to give this manuscript to you. Apart from that, I’ll also give you the two new Soul Nurturing Stones.”
Lu Wuchang looked very sincere.
Su Jingxing kept quiet.
It wasn’t because the last two Soul Nurturing Stones were in Lu Wuchang’s hands, but because the information this fellow had revealed was too shocking.
The Martial Sage’s Manuscript!
This was equivalent to his notes or diary.
It was written by a Martial Sage when he was still alive during his rising.
For example, some cultivation insights, understanding of martial arts, or the use of a secret ability.
Anything was possible.
There was indeed a chance that the secret of the three legacy stone tablets would be recorded.
After all, Yue Dongliu, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, was too low-profiled. Other than a few people, most people did not know his personality.
In addition, the stone tablet that Su Jingxing had obtained did indeed contain the Full Moon Breathing Technique.
In other words, Lu Wuchang was telling the truth!
He really had Yue Dongliu’s manuscript in his hands.
In other words, the information recorded on the other two stone tablets was not martial arts, but a military manual, and heavenly secret art!
At this thought, Su Jingxing turned around and asked in a low voice again.
“How do you know that the stone tablet is in my hands?”
“Well…” Lu Wuchang pondered for a moment and said seriously,” Before answering the question, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lu Wuchang and I’m from the Lu Family of Ci En Bank. You might have heard of me because I’m quite famous both at home and outside. ”
“To the outside world, I’m a martial arts genius. To the inside, I’m a born talent.
“The reason is because I have a special talent, super strong intuition!
“Lam able to foretell luck and calamity and determine the authenticity of things.
“However, the truth is that my talent is passive, and there are restrictions to it.
“For example, someone is 50 kilometers away, plotting to kill me. I won’t know that when I’m here. I’ll only be alerted when the other party enters Qinghe City and is within a few hundred meters of me.
“If I take the initiative to foresee it, I’ll have to expend my lifespan.
“That’s right, you didn’t hear wrongly. This talent of mine, if I forcefully order it around, there will be severe side effects and my lifespan will be shortened!”
As he spoke, a ball of true energy emerged from Lu Wuchang’s palm and he swiped it across his head.
The night wind blew.
The hair on the left side of Lu Wuchang’s head turned snow white.
One-fifth of his hair had turned white.
“See that? This is the consequence of actively using my talent.”
Lu Wuchang pointed at his white hair and chuckled. “No one else knows the drawback of my talent. Every single strand of these hairs turned white once I used my talent.”
“Everyone outside says that I’m one of the elites of this generation. I advanced to the third-grade before 40 years old.
“But they have no idea what I’ve lost to be here today.
“Compared to those true freaks, I’m actually not even a genius!”
Su Jingxing remained silent.
Amoment later, he asked, “Why are you telling me this?”
“Because I have a request!”
Lu Wuchang stared at Su Jingxing and said seriously, “I want to make a deal with you and obtain the three legacy stone tablets. One of them contains a heavenly secret art!
“On the surface, I came to Qinghe City because my nephew, who had turned into a vegetable, begged me time and time again. That’s why I had no choice but to come. In reality, my actual goal is the heavenly secret art!
“Of course, before this, I didn’t know that what I wanted was the heavenly secret art. I only knew that there was something in Qinghe City that was very important to me.
“It somehow guided me here.
“Including tracking you earlier, it was also a mysterious guidance.
“Under this guidance, another strand of hair turned white. As the price, I received a notification to wait on the roof of a building on your flight path.
“The first person to fly over the top of the building is the person I want to make a deal with!”
And this still isn’t using a hack?
Even though there’s a price to pay, such an ability is still astonishing.
Su Jingxing sighed inwardly, but his external aura remained unchanged.
“What deal do you want to make with me?” asked Su Jingxing.
“Let me borrow the stone tablet.”
Lu Wuchang quickly explained, “The stone tablet that records the heavenly secret art is with the Changyang Prefecture Army. I can’t get close to it, let alone comprehend it. However, after some negotiation, they are willing to let me trade for it using another stone tablet.”
“In other words, you’re going to take the stone tablet in my possession to exchange for the one with the Prefecture Army?” Su Jingxing found it amusing.
“Yes.”
Lu Wuchang replied frankly, “I don’t know if you have already studied the stone tablet and obtained the military manual or the breathing technique.
“If you have already obtained it, I hope you can make a deal with me. The Martial Sage’s Manuscript and two Soul Nurturing Stones will be my remuneration. Of course, if you think the remuneration is insufficient, we can negotiate it again.”
“If you haven’t figured it out yet, you can go back to do that first. There’s no hurry. Of course, if you can’t, I hope you can tell me the truth and make a deal with me. The remuneration can still be negotiated.
“If the deal is struck and the exchange is done, I can also let you study it first and obtain the secret heavenly art.
“I don’t mind you learning the heavenly secret art too, because that would be equivalent to having another companion to discuss and communicate with. I can’t be happier!”
You sure are happy!
Su Jingxing could tell that this fellow wasn’t lying.
Furthermore, it was indeed not a bad thing to get a heavenly secret art without doing anything.
No matter what, he would only benefit.
At this thought, Su Jingxing said indifferently, “Why didn’t you borrow the stone tablet from the Martial Suppression Office?”
That’s right, it was just an exchange of stone tablets.
The one in Su Jingxing’s hand could work, so could the one in Bu Qing’s possession.
Why did Lu Wuchang only look for Su Jingxing?
