Chapter 72: How Can You Get Strong Without Buying Supplements? (Part 2) – 3800

He Dong/He Xi County, Wang Gu Lin, Great Commerce Tongtian City, Third Temple Ruins, 35.5° E, 33.5° N

When he saw the detailed latitude and longitude of his location, Wang Wu was completely stunned. It was his first time seeing his phone actually have this function; uh, well, phones generally have location features.

Mainly, mainly, this thing really can pinpoint my coordinates in this other world???

【I am the World's Number One Assassin sent you a window shake】

【I am the World's Number One Assassin: Damn it, where's the address? You won't even take the free trial?】

【Mountain‑top Cave Monster sent a location】

【Mountain‑top Cave Monster: Sent, sent, thanks Assassin bro, Assassin bro truly lives up to being the World's Number One Assassin, really impressive, this time Assassin bro really helped me a lot. Thanks Assassin bro, Assassin bro is unrivaled in the world, Assassin bro.】

【Mountain‑top Cave Monster: No wonder Assassin bro can become the World's Number One Assassin, truly superior to everyone in every way. My worship of Assassin bro is wholehearted, flowing endlessly like a raging river.】

【I am the World's Number One Assassin: Cut the flattery, I don't buy that. But since you're an outsider, I can give you an extra trial supplement; which two do you want?】

【Mountain‑top Cave Monster: How does Assassin bro recommend? After all I'm just a clueless newbie, I have to rely on Assassin bro for this, sorry.】

【I am the World's Number One Assassin: Since you practice the methods of the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect and the Yin Extreme Divine Sect, just max out Tianmo Dragon and Yin Spirit Liquid; those two have great cost‑performance. This recommendation is tailored to your situation; all three are suitable for you.】

【I am the World's Number One Assassin: Oh right, also a box of White Crane Liver‑Protection Tablets, I'll give you a box. This item is a self‑developed auxiliary medicine from our Yunhe Sect, cheap and good quality, and it sells well.】

【Mountain‑top Cave Monster: Thanks Assassin bro, thanks Assassin bro! (emoji) (emoji)】

【I am the World's Number One Assassin: Alright, wait for it, I'm logging off.】

Regarding sending his location to Assassin bro, Wang Wu had no hesitation and wasn't worried that the other side would come after him once they had his address.

Obviously unnecessary; his strength is clearly great, and if he truly wanted to kill me, I'd have no chance to resist.

As for exposing the address, need not say more; the other party is a killer—does he lack any ability to open a box? If he can't open a box, what kind of assassin is he?

So from start to finish, Wang Wu, an ordinary person, has no secrets at all compared to that World's Number One Assassin. Anyway, Wang Wu thinks so himself,

His cultivation methods are all provided by the other side; without him, I wouldn't even know how my life would be now.

After ending the chat with Assassin bro, Wang Wu opened the personal page of Ju Xin.

Come to think of it, he always thought the chat app on his phone was WeChat, but it wasn't; it was Ju Xin. Though it looks identical, it doesn't matter now.

Because every interface was indistinguishable from the WeChat he knows, Wang Wu easily found the option to bind a bank card.

He didn't know whether this thing was useful, but thinking that the app could even locate his current position, he feared…

It really could recognize the bank card from his hometown.

Bind a bank card, bind an overseas bank card, enter the card number. When the last digit of the card number was entered, Wang Wu's heart also hung in suspense.

'X Country Agricultural Bank, Savings Card *****2657'

When he saw those familiar characters, Wang Wu felt like he was about to explode. He opened his eyes and thought, okay, it's fine.

He locked eyes with Shu Niang, saw the faint smile in her eyes, Wang Wu smiled, shook his head, and closed his eyes again.

"Shu Niang! What are you doing! Wu Lang hasn't recovered yet! Stop it!!"

"Oh…"

Shu Niang stopped the prank; she had just been tickling Wang Wu, and she always likes to prank like that.

He heard the two monsters' conversation at his ears, Wang Wu ignored it and operated the Ju Xin app on his phone again.

【Recharge】

【Select bank card, Agricultural Bank Savings Card, ****2657】

【Select amount: 62752.85】

Although Wang Wu had been idle at home after graduating college, taking civil service exams, he did have savings. Part came from the red envelopes his parents gave him since childhood, part from college living expenses, and part from summer jobs.

All together, Wang Wu's savings amounted to over 60,000 yuan, but how much that could be exchanged for Yun Guang City currency was unknown.

【Recharge successful, current balance: 20917.6166667】

A 3:1 exchange rate surprised Wang Wu a bit, because he didn't expect his hometown money to be so valuable. But then again, his hometown and Assassin bro's world aren't connected, so how is this rate even calculated?

But it didn't matter; seeing the 20,000 in his Ju Xin wallet, Wang Wu felt his future was full of hope.

Without overthinking, he sent Assassin bro a red envelope of 500 yuan and said a bunch of thanks. The red envelope was received the instant it was sent, so fast Wang Wu barely registered it.

Then Assassin bro sent Wang Wu a smiley emoji, and that was all.

【Your red envelope has been received by I am the World's Number One Assassin (*Yun), if you wish to retract it, please do so within 24 hours in the payment records of your personal page.】

【Do you want to apply for a Yun Guang City bank card?】

He was about to exit Ju Xin, but at that moment two messages popped up, startling Wang Wu.

He didn't hesitate, nor consider whether a foreigner could get a card, and clicked in first.

Enter ID, facial verification, fingerprint verification, sign contract, upload front and back photos of ID. A few minutes later, Wang Wu's Yun Guang City bank card was ready.

Although the card had zero balance, it didn't dampen Wang Wu's high spirits. It just shows that keeping photos of your ID in your phone album is a good habit; it came in handy.

He opened his eyes, with no doubt or confusion, only overflowing joy. Because this meant the biggest problem Wang Wu faced had been solved:

The cultivation method.

This means he now officially has the qualification to ascend the pinnacle of the extraordinary path.

He opened his eyes, brimming with joy, and saw Shu Niang propping her head, watching him, and Zhu San Niang also gazing at him entranced.

He gave the two women a smile and lunged at them.

"Hee hee, woo…"

Soon, the room filled with playful laughter between a man and a woman, but it lasted only half a minute before abruptly stopping.

It wasn't that the foreplay was skipped; Wang Wu halted all movement and suddenly turned his head.

When he turned, Zhu San Niang's arm was still draped over his neck. But now, Zhu San Niang also released her grip on his neck.

Four monsters, including Wu Er Niang, who had joined Wu Yun without intention and was wholeheartedly cultivating, all stopped what they were doing and looked toward the doorway.

Because Wang Wu blocked the door with a stone, even during the day the corridor beyond was pitch black.

"What's that noise outside…?" Zhu San Niang crawled up from the floor, ready to go to the passage and push the stone aside, but before she could take two steps, Wang Wu grabbed her hand.

"Don't go out."

At this moment, Wang Wu's Demon Eye on his forehead flickered with light; although Zhu San Niang couldn't see it, he could see it perfectly.

Wang Wu's expression grew solemn as he rose from the ground and pulled Zhu San Niang behind him.

At this moment, outside the Four Demons' Cave, a massive body was moving slowly.

Although described as slow, it was only because each time it advanced a distance it had to pause until the nearby spirit stones completely faded, lost their power, and shattered.

Then it would resume moving, its destination being the cave where Wang Wu and his companions lived. Each step it took could span hundreds of meters.

Now, this bizarre thing was only half a kilometer away from Wang Wu's cave. The earlier sounds the demons heard were the noise of a spirit stone, after losing its effect, being smashed by a single slap of this odd entity.

Just a single slap sent the splintered stones flying faster than sound, hurling outward like cannonballs in all directions.

The strength of this thing far exceeded that of the crooked‑faced man Wang Wu encountered last night, and it seemed…

It seemed able to see through the illusion of Wang Wu's Vajra Demon‑Subduing Formation.

"There's a big fellow wandering outside," Wang Wu said, not specifying what it was because he didn't want to worry Zhu San Niang. "I'll go out to reinforce the formation, boost its concealment, you stay put, San Niang."

Having said that, Wang Wu walked toward the entrance, pushed aside the massive stone at the doorway, and stepped out.

Outside the cave.

He could push the stone back, though it was unnecessary if the Vajra Demon‑Subduing Formation's camouflage truly failed.

Wang Wu stood outside, his body transforming into a Demon Body, a four‑meter‑tall figure blocking the cave entrance, the crystal at his brow beginning to emit light, continuously gathering energy.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds.

Half a minute later, all the spirit stones along the path had shattered, and the thing took another step forward, moving with graceful poise and elegant bearing, reminding Wang Wu of the "Four Directions Step" he had once seen on television.

In the next instant, it appeared before Wang Wu.

The two faced each other, separated by only about twenty meters. Looking at the other's face—human skin and features overlaying an animal skull—Wang Wu felt a strong sense of strangeness rise in his heart.

Aang—!!!!

At that moment, the monster stepped forward, but the next instant it recoiled as if electrocuted, emitting a huge wail that sounded part human, part deer.

"Wu Lang!!"

At that time, the cave's great door was pushed open again, and Zhu San Niang and the other demons rushed out.

When they saw the huge monster before Wang Wu, they all froze in place, stunned.

After a roar, the monster raised its hand again, reaching forward. This time, its entire arm ignited. Its form vanished instantly, and within a breath it retreated hundreds of meters away.

Aang———!!!

Then it let out an even louder wail, its body curling, four legs bracing on the ground, and after a moment it disappeared from Wang Wu's sight.

Wang Wu remained where he was until five seconds passed, when a thick golden beam shot from his forehead into the deep forest.

Aang!!!!

Another angry shout rang out, followed immediately by an earth‑shaking explosion in the distance.

"Haha!! Hahahahaha!!!"

At this moment Wang Wu reverted to human form, looked toward the distant woods, his smile turning wild and triumphant.

"Hahaha! Really effective, really effective!!!"

Wang Wu burst into a wild laugh, then returned to his human shape, gazing at Zhu San Niang and the other demons. "Haha, even such a powerful monster can't detect our presence! San Niang, Er Niang, Shu Niang! This year we can have a good winter!!!"

"Wu Lang!!!"

Hearing Wang Wu's words, the several female demons smiled with delight, and then they all lunged toward Wang Wu together.

"Haha! Me too… wait, you want to be here… woa… umm…"

The three female demons were naturally very displeased with Wang Wu's reckless impulse. So they each voiced their discontent, beating the clueless, head‑butting youngster harshly.

They drove back a monster whose level was barely discernible, yet the formation's energy consumption was minimal. This was because the extermination function hadn't activated; only concealment, isolation, and protection were in effect.

The monster suffered virtually no damage, just as when Wang Wu first encountered a demon‑killing stone—no, a high‑quality demon‑repelling stone.

Although it was excruciatingly painful and uncomfortable, the injury was very slight.

Thus, the monster was merely driven away by the formation, not severely harmed. Consequently, the energy expended was correspondingly low.

The sun set quickly, and before long the world slipped entirely into darkness. After returning to the cave, Wang Wu took out his phone and checked the time.

Compared with previous days, night seemed to arrive a bit earlier.
