Chapter 56 : Peak Of Perfection
It would be a waste not to.
Since Wan Rong misunderstood, Su Jingxing was naturally happy to cooperate.
“Ten million for a week’s delay. How’s that?”
There was a moment of silence.
After that, Wan Rong’s voice containing suppressed anger came through the phone.
“Two million, let’s be friends.”
“No need,” Su Jingxing blurted out. “When I do things, the starting price is always ten million.”
Silence.
There was a long silence.
The other end of the call fell silent.
Just when Su Jingxing thought that Wan Rong had given up——
“Five million!”
Wan Rong’s voice that came through gritted teeth suddenly sounded. “This price, if you’re unwilling…”
“Fine, five million then,” Su Jingxing interrupted.
“…”
Smiling silently, Su Jingxing continued, “Five million dollars. Send it into Manager Liu’s bank account immediately.”
“Huh?”
The assistant manager, who had been eavesdropping carefully, stiffened and laughed dryly. “That… that’s not necessary. Wouldn’t it be better to transfer it directly into your own account? It’s quite troublesome to transfer the money around.”
“It’s okay. I don’t mind.”
Su Jingxing grinned. He then shouted at the silent Wan Rong on the other end, “Boss Wan, are you done?”
Wan Rong didn’t respond, but the assistant manager was about to cry. “Big Brother, I was wrong.”
“What did you do wrong?” Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes and chuckled. “Instead, you cooperated very well with me.”
Heavy breaths came from the other end of the call.
Clearly, Wan Rong was forcefully suppressing his rage.
“…Alright!”
He said in a low voice, “I’ll send the money now. Get him to keep an eye out for it.”
With that, he ended the call.
“Isn’t that great?” Su Jingxing smiled and returned the phone to the assistant manager.
The latter took it with trembling hands. He looked miserable and did not dare to utter another word.
He appeared honest, pitiful, and helpless.
However, in reality, although this assistant manager did not know martial arts, he had counted on Wan Rong’s power to swindle at least five women, and inflicted bodily injuries more than ten times.
If not for Wan Rong, he would have long been sent to prison.
Su Jingxing, who knew his background, would not fall for his pretense of acting innocent and pitiful.
Earlier, he had forced him to call Wan Rong because he wanted Wan Rong to personally take care of this traitor.
In the end, Wan Rong misunderstood. Then Su Jingxing naturally took advantage of the situation to make Wan Rong hate Assistant Manager Liu even more.
If I were to use this guy’s bank account, he would end up either dead or crippled.
These were all thoughts that Su Jingxing came up with in a flash, and he immediately put them to action.
The outcome was pretty good.
In less than ten minutes, Assistant Manager Liu’s phone rang. He received a notification message of a transfer.
Su Jingxing took a look and confirmed that it was real. He then knocked the man out and hid him.
Then, he quickly went to the bank and opened an anonymous account. When he returned, he shook Deputy Manager Liu awake and got him to transfer the money.
After all five million dollars were transferred, Su Jingxing readily let him go.
As for whether this fellow was running away or finding another backer, it had nothing to do with him.
Su Jingxing’s plan to go to the black market at night could be changed after this five million dollars fell from the sky.
Initially, Su Jingxing had planned to spend the three million dollars of dirty money that he had gotten from Fan Chunfeng to buy ten custom-made throwing daggers and a semi-treasure blade.
One custom-made throwing dagger cost 100,000 Great Yu dollars, ten of them would cost one million dollars.
The semi-treasure blade that could channel internal force to slice metal like cost two million dollars.
In total, it was exactly three million dollars.
Now that he had five million dollars more, he could buy a real treasure weapon, a treasure saber!
Ordinary weapons, custom-made weapons, semi-treasure weapons, treasure weapons, and spirit weapons.
The first four could be bought with money, but the spirit weapons could not be bought with money. They were not available on the market. Even in the black market, a piece only appears once every few years.
What most martial artists desire was a treasure weapon in their hands.
Therefore, Wan Rong is a great person!
If not for the original Su Jingxing’s obsession, Su Jingxing wouldn’t even want to kill him anymore.
Cough! Cough!
…
It was still early before nightfall.
Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard. He took the hidden Muyan Flower and headed to the Wei Family’s dojo.
When he arrived, he entered through the back door as usual and found the dazed Wei Jiajia.
“The Muyan Flower, keep it well.”
Su Jingxing put down the box and left.
By the time Wei Jiajia came back to her senses, Su Jingxing was already gone.
She hurriedly got up and opened the box. Looking at the fresh flower inside, Wei Jiajia was stunned.
He really got it?
It had only been a few days, but the other party actually managed to obtain a fresh stalk of the Muyan Flower!
The second request was fulfilled so quickly that Wei Jiajia was a little panicked.
With this efficiency, wouldn’t the third request be completed soon?
Wei Jiajia was inexplicably terrified. She wanted to do something, but she couldn’t figure out where to start.
…
The third request was a meeting appointment letter from the Ethereal Sword Immortal.
Su Jingxing was ready to hack into all the major forums and communities in Yu Nation.
All he had to do now was to wait for the Ethereal Sword Immortal to appear and start the draw.
According to the patterns of this third-grade big shot, it would be just before the end of the month.
Su Jingxing looked forward to her arrival.
…
Night fell.
Su Jingxing took the dirty money and went to the black market again.
As usual, he first went around the market before entering a shop that specializes in selling weapons.
Moments later, Su Jingxing walked out of the shop with the weapons he wanted.
Two sheathed sabers were wrapped in black cloth.
After leaving the black market, Su Jingxing activated Advanced Hearing and listened to the movements around him. When he had made sure that no one was following him, he returned to his residence.
He first hid the treasure saber worth five million Great Yu dollars and the ten throwing daggers.
Then, holding the semi-treasure weapon, Su Jingxing unlocked a Martial Arts Practice Card with two years practice time and cultivated the Three Origins Saber Art.
When the Martial Arts Practice Space collapsed and his consciousness returned to his physical body, Su Jingxing had successfully cultivated the Human Origin volume of this saber art to an optimal state.
After a short rest, he continued to unlock another Martial Arts Practice Card with three years practice time.
A while later, his consciousness returned to his body. Su Jingxing’s mastery over the Human Origin volume of Three Origins Saber Art had reached an advanced level.
He went on to unlock another Martial Arts Practice Card with three years practice time.
His mastery then rose from the Advanced level to Perfection.
He continued to unlock a four-year Martial Arts Practice Card.
His mastery now reached the Peak of Perfection.
At this point, Su Jingxing finally stopped cultivating.
It was not that he was unwilling to part with the remaining three Martial Arts Practice Cards, but that the semi-treasure weapon in his hand had broken!
After the fourth Martial Arts Practice Card was used up, and Su Jingxing’s consciousness returned to his physical body, the semi-treasure weapon in his hand suddenly shattered into pieces.
While cultivating, the saber was also pulled into the Martial Arts Practice Space.
In the end, the semi-treasure blade, which could cut through iron like mud, could not withstand the constant channeling of internal force and broke!
Two million dollars turned into a pile of broken pieces——Su Jingxing was somewhat speechless.
Fortunately, this money was free!
Shaking his head, Su Jingxing did not continue.
He had reached the Peak of Perfection with the Three Origins Saber Art’s Human Origin volume. It was enough for now.
Su Jingxing planned to use the remaining three Martial Arts Practice Cards to practice the Eight Steps Rising Dragon.
Previously, he had only reached the advanced level in this lightness skill.
The three cards contained two years, five years, and five years of practice time respectively. He unlocked all of them to practice the Eight Steps Rising Dragon and finally raised this exceptional lightness skill to the Peak of Perfection.
At this point, he had used up all the cards he extracted from the barbarian corpses.
Where could he get the next Martial Arts Practice Card?
…
