Chapter 202: Trading Earth Martial?

He indeed kept it to himself.

He mainly wanted to keep a backup.

If Jiang Cheng ultimately doesn't disclose the Perfect Chapter's contents, he wouldn't be at a loss.

Of course, Jiang Cheng's Secret Martial Arts—how much is genuine and how much is fake—he doesn't know; he can only go back and practice it to see.

"Said?"

Jiang Cheng let out a cold laugh.

"Do you think you're the only clever one and everyone else is a fool?"

"W-what does that mean?"

A flash of panic flickered in the man's eyes.

"Repeat the Perfect Chapter's contents again, don't try to be clever. As for the Seven Star Palm and Broken Jade Fist, I've already cultivated them to the Perfect Realm; I can tell right away if there's any problem with what you said."

!!!

The man widened his eyes.

The person before him had actually cultivated both Secret Martial Arts to the Perfect Realm? Considering he's already in his thirties and the Setting Sun Fist has only just reached Great Completion, achieving the Perfect Realm would take only a few years—hardly realistic.

If this man managed that, what level would his strength be? Six-level?

Or Seven-level?

Thinking that, he trembled in fear.

Even though here, they didn't know each other's identities.

But if one can avoid offending the strong, it's best not to.

"I—I understand."

He lowered his head, not daring to meet Jiang Cheng's gaze.

With a nervous heart, he recited the Perfect Chapter's contents once.

On the Panel, the Setting Sun Fist finally completed its collection.

"What I'm saying this time is true, truly not deceiving you."

"That's more like it."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Then now you should tell me the Perfect Chapter of the Broken Jade Fist, shouldn't you?"

The man's tone was uneasy.

He was afraid Jiang Cheng wouldn't speak, and also afraid Jiang Cheng wouldn't tell the truth.

"Rest assured, I'm not like you; I say I'll give you the real Broken Jade technique and won't backtrack, listen carefully."

After speaking, Jiang Cheng stood up, intending to leave.

"Y-You, is everything you said true?"

The man also stood up, asking anxiously.

"Then what you told me, is it true?"

"It's true, everything I told you is true!" the man exclaimed.

"Then what I told you is also true."

Jiang Cheng finished speaking and walked toward the door.

Hearing the door close, the middle-aged man plopped onto the sofa, clenching his fists tightly.

If this Broken Jade Fist is indeed real, he's made a huge profit this time!

He had originally struggled to become a Level 4 Original Force Warrior; this time, with enough time, he could reach Level 5, perhaps even Level 6!

Leaving the room, Jiang Cheng also wore a faint smile.

He gained another Secret Martial Arts.

Continue.

It seems good luck truly arrived.

When he knocked on the third door, a woman's voice sounded from inside.

"Do you have two Human Weapons?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng recited the two he possessed.

Crack!

The door opened, revealing a woman wearing sunglasses and a white mask.

"Come in."

Both found seats, and the woman said, "I have no Human Weapon in my hand, but I possess an Earth Martial that can open 36 Acupoints. How about swapping it for your two Human Weapons plus 100,000 yuan?" Jiang Cheng considered the proposal.

The Earth Martial can open between 30 and 60 Acupoints.

An Earth Martial that opens 36 Acupoints, though of lower-tier level, likely costs over 200,000.

It must be more than the two Secret Martial Arts he holds.

But adding another 100,000 makes it uncertain.

"One hundred thousand is too high; fifty thousand is about right," Jiang Cheng said.

The woman frowned slightly, then said, "Fine, give me the money first."

"???"

Jiang Cheng looked at her, puzzled.

Is he really looking like a total sucker?

"Giving the money first is impossible; after we obtain each other's Secret Martial Arts, I will naturally give you the money. You can record what I say now, and if later my words don't count, you can bring someone else in to judge."

The woman stared at Jiang Cheng for a while.

"Fine, we'll do as you say, but you must first reveal one Secret Martial Arts. I'll say half of it, then you finish the second Secret Martial Arts, and only then will I say the next half."

Jiang Cheng felt more and more uneasy as he listened.

The woman before him—does she really want to trade Secret Martial Arts with me, rather than just snatch a sum and run? "Sorry, the way you propose is too unfair to me; we should change the method."

The woman frowned, "What method do you want to switch to?"

"Considering that the Secret Martial Arts you offered belong to Earth Martial, I can take a loss: first, I'll state the Introductory Chapter of the two Secret Martial Arts I have in one go; then you state the Introductory Chapter of the Earth Martial you possess; then I state the Skilled Chapter, you state the Skilled Chapter, and so on. At the end, when you state the Perfect Chapter, I'll transfer the fifty‑thousand yuan to you."

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Such a straightforward agreement was a bit unexpected for Jiang Cheng.

But he didn't dare to be too happy early; who knows whether what the other says later will be true or false? Just in case, he kept recording with his phone.

The woman also opened her phone's recording and listened attentively.

After a while, Jiang Cheng said, "I've finished the Introductory Chapter; now it's your turn."

"Alright."

The woman began, "My Earth Martial is called Stele‑breaking Leg Technique. Though it's average among Earth Martial, its power once mastered surpasses your two Fist Techniques. If cultivated to the Perfect Realm, one can become a Level 7 Original Force Warrior; shattering steles and cracking stones would be trivial…"

Jiang Cheng listened to her description while keeping an eye on the Panel.

As time passed bit by bit, the Panel still showed no sign of the words 'Stele‑breaking Leg'.

The woman's voice abruptly stopped, as if she were tired of speaking, and she picked up the water cup beside her and took a sip.

"Finished?"

Jiang Cheng looked at her in surprise.

"Of course, I'm finished."

The woman glanced at Jiang Cheng, "Now it's your turn to state the Skilled Chapter of those two Secret Martial Arts."

Jiang Cheng laughed in anger.

The Panel didn't have Stele‑breaking Leg at all.

In other words, the woman just now was talking nonsense.

Yet she acted as if it were perfectly reasonable.

"Are you sure you've finished?"

"Obvious."

The woman looked very displeased.

"If you want to keep cooperating with me, I'll give you another chance to say it again."

"What do you mean by that? Do you suspect what I just said was false?"

"If it's not false, could it be true?"

Jiang Cheng's tone grew cold.

"Heh."

The woman let out a cold laugh.

"Anyway, I've already said it, and it's true. Either you continue cooperating and keep speaking, or you don't cooperate, and you still have to hand over the fifty‑thousand yuan. What I just recited is the Introductory Chapter of an Earth Martial, not comparable to the Introductory Chapters of your two Human Weapons."

"You really are shameless."

Having said that, Jiang Cheng stood up and walked toward the door.

"Stop! Did I ever say you could leave?" the woman slammed the table hard.
