Wen Wen’s first opened book was the Xun Style Swordplay.
The thickness of this swordplay manual was similar to a high school physics textbook, and the style of its illustrations and text also closely resembled that of a physics textbook.
Wen Wen strongly suspected that the typesetting of this book was based on the textbook, and holding it, Wen Wen felt like he was back in his student days.
A CD was attached to the title page, likely for video instruction. Well… this made it even more like a high school textbook.
However, none of these things were truly important; the key was the content. The Xun Style Swordplay was much thicker than the Nameless Swordplay, and its content was significantly richer.
It was just that the table of contents was a bit out of place.
Chapter 1: Introduction
Section 1: What is Swordplay—
Section 1: What is the Significance of Learning Swordplay—
Section 3: How to Choose a Sword Suitable for Oneself…
Although it looked full of quirks, it was truly packed with substance. Every section of content could offer Wen Wen some enlightenment.
As expected, you get what you pay for. It was far superior to the basic swordplay he had purchased before.
Even the fundamental content within was quite profound and greatly benefited Wen Wen.
Following the basics came individual sword moves. Each one was at least on the same level as the four sword moves he had already mastered in the Nameless Swordplay.
In fact, the power of some individual sword moves made the current Wen Wen feel slightly surprised.
If he could fully master this Xun Style Swordplay manual, Wen Wen’s strength would undoubtedly be able to elevate once more.
Even without his unique ability, 'Boldface', breaking through to the Disaster Tier, he could use this swordplay to surpass the power barrier and possess strength exceeding the Intermediate Disaster Tier!
However, it was easier said than done. Mastering a swordplay manual, how could that be easy?
Take Wen Wen, for instance. If he hadn't relied on the bloody heart forcibly inserted into him by the initial containment facility, he might not have even grasped the basics yet.
Moreover, he possessed powerful strength that didn’t match his swordplay attainment as support, allowing him to reach his current state. If it were an ordinary person, no matter how much they studied this swordplay, they would likely still be taken down with a single shot.
Even for Wen Wen, mastering new sword moves required repeated practice. The sword moves in this book were enough for him to practice for a very, very long time.
As he flipped through, Wen Wen’s pupils slightly contracted. He saw a familiar sword move: the Rushing Current Style from the Nameless Swordplay!
Although the Xun Style Swordplay had made some improvements to the Rushing Current Style, Wen Wen could still tell that its framework was indeed the Rushing Current Style.
He began to re-examine the Xun Style Swordplay manual, this time focusing on familiar sword moves. Soon, he found the Piercing Heart Style, the Iron Cutting Style, and the Startling Thunder Style!
Even though the names of the sword moves were different, judging by their starting postures, the flow of their sword energy, and some key points, these four moves in the Xun Style Swordplay were clearly improved versions of the four moves from the Nameless Swordplay!
“Could the senior who left behind this Nameless Swordplay be related to the Xun family?”
After pondering for a while, Wen Wen gave up thinking. He could confirm a connection between the two, but eons had passed, and the cause and effect had long since dissipated like smoke. He saw no need to investigate further.
However, precisely because these two swordplays had a lineage relationship, Wen Wen’s entry into the Xun Style Swordplay would be much more convenient. Choosing to purchase the Xun Style Swordplay was indeed the correct decision.
Following that, Wen Wen picked up the Advanced Rune Analysis. Upon holding this book, he felt a slight weight, like a thick dictionary. Once opened, it was filled with densely packed runes and analyses. Wen Wen’s head began to ache after just a glance.
He suspected that mastering this book would be more difficult than memorizing the entire HuaFu Great Dictionary.
But even if it was difficult, he had to learn it; without learning, he couldn’t improve his rune attainments.
He set aside the Xun Style Swordplay and Advanced Rune Analysis for the time being, as both books required gradual accumulation to see results.
So, Wen Wen turned his attention to the book titled "Throwing Weapon Guidance."
This book had only a few pages, listing categories of common throwing weapons and providing simple guidance for each.
Wen Wen finished reading the guidance on javelin throws in one go. The content was not substantial, but it still benefited him greatly.
At the very least, he learned how to throw a javelin in the most energy-efficient and accurate way.
After memorizing all the key points, Wen Wen left the containment facility and went outside the city, finding an uninhabited clearing to begin practicing.
Throwing a javelin didn't require overly profound techniques, but to make the javelin possess sufficient power, repeated practice was necessary.
Wen Wen practiced for an entire afternoon, hitting a rock face so that it was pitted and scarred before he stopped.
Now, within two hundred meters, he could hit any human-sized target with a javelin, but his accuracy and speed were still insufficient. What he needed was the ability to throw and hit a target without conscious thought.
With his strength at the Intermediate Disaster Tier, throwing a javelin was far more explosive than a rocket launcher. In terms of single-point lethality, even a fuel-air bomb couldn't compare to this javelin.
The special material of the javelin could perfectly attach Wen Wen's power, used to pierce through a target, unlike gunpowder weapons which could only exert fixed power.
This resulted in Wen Wen having to dig a pit in the rock face to retrieve the javelin after each test…
“These things should be refitted with an automatic retrieval function, so you don't spend two minutes fighting and an hour retrieving weapons…”
Just as Wen Wen was about to continue training, the hunting terminal on his waist vibrated. He picked it up and his brow furrowed.
“Another assigned mission…? The mission location is Mount Qiling. I’m so far from Mount Qiling now, why choose me?”
The working conditions for hunters were relatively relaxed; some went half a year or even a year without encountering mandatory missions. Yet, Wen Wen had encountered two consecutively, and the second one was in a place completely unrelated to him. This made him a little suspicious.
But suspicion was suspicion; the mission still had to be done. So he immediately rushed to the airport, preparing to take a plane to Haibei Province, where Mount Qiling was located.
San Zai panted unhappily on Wen Wen’s arm. He couldn't drive this time, and he was not happy at all.
Initially, he was forced to drive, but now he had grown to enjoy the feeling of driving.
At some point, massage chairs became standard equipment at airports and train stations, and this city’s airport had also installed rows of brand-new massage chairs.
When Wen Wen arrived, there were no seats left for him.
A slightly plump aunt looked at Wen Wen, then threw a few coins into a chair, which began to operate, making the aunt close her eyes in comfort. Suzhou Novel Network
This made Wen Wen envious; he also wanted to experience a massage.
So he took out his hunting terminal, turned on the vibration mode, set the vibration to maximum, and put it in his pocket.
The hunting terminal was a companion for hunters in battle, its various functions were very powerful, and the vibration function was no exception.
Therefore, when Wen Wen began to vibrate, his face twitched into afterimages, and his hair started to fly wildly, creating a scene of a lunatic in the airport…
