Chapter 803: Hand over the secret manual

~8 min read 1,535 words

Plague god!

In the middle of the night, Chen Guanlou looked at Zhou Mobai, who had suddenly broken into his home, and cursed silently in his heart.

Zhou Mobai sat down brazenly as if he were in his own home, his eyes scanning him up and down like searchlights. "Kid, do you know why this old man has come to find you?"

"This junior is dull; please instruct me, senior."

Chen Guanlou was very straightforward, decisively bending his waist like mud, softer than... softer than a brothel woman by three parts.

In the martial arts world, strength is respected.

Below the Grandmaster realm, all are ants.

Bowing one's head and waist in front of a Grandmaster is not shameful! This is called knowing when to bend and when to stretch; this is what a real man does.

Look at Wu Xun, who is of such an advanced age and is still an ancestor of the Wu family; he has to bow like a grandson in front of a Grandmaster. Could he, a young man, not be as good as an old guy?

No!

He understands bowing better than the old guy; his posture must be soft, and his tone must be gentle. Treating himself as a girl from a brothel is definitely correct.

"You have secrets on you. Ever since this old man first saw you, I have been very curious. The previous few times, someone always blocked me; tonight, hehe, you had better confess honestly."

Chen Guanlou understood in his heart; the other party was indeed eyeing the Longevity Dao Fruit on him.

"Senior is right; the reason this junior's realm has improved so quickly is because this junior has a big secret."

Oh?

Zhou Mobai looked slightly surprised, not expecting him to admit it so readily.

"Tell me about it."

"I won't hide it from senior; the reason this junior went to serve in the Heavenly Prison, disregarding the low status of a prison guard, was aimed at those martial arts figures inside the prison. Senior, don't laugh; at that time, this junior was just an ordinary person, not even touching the edge of the martial path.

From childhood to adulthood, I was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Seeing that I couldn't make a name for myself in studies, I was unwilling to just be an ordinary person and be bullied by others, so I threw away my face and entered the Heavenly Prison. Relying on the status of a prison guard, I made deals with that group of martial arts figures, exchanging for martial arts techniques, secret arts, and mental cultivation methods from their hands. I didn't expect that I would actually manage to find a mental cultivation secret manual. That is how I have today!"

Wei Xiaobao once said that the highest realm of lying is nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

Chen Guanlou deeply agreed.

The content just spoken was true in every word, all from the bottom of his heart. Even if probed with the most exquisite instruments, not a single error could be found. Even if this were a cultivation world where souls could be searched, he would dare to guarantee that these words could perfectly pass the test.

Because what he said was all true!

Entering the Heavenly Prison at the beginning was indeed aimed at martial arts secret manuals, not a bit of falsehood.

Finding the mental cultivation secret manual in the C-grade prison was also true, not a word of falsehood.

Zhou Mobai's heart stirred slightly. "A filthy place like the Heavenly Prison, holding a group of martial arts scum—can one really find real things? Don't you try to fool this old man. Otherwise, I will make sure you don't see tomorrow's sun."

Chen Guanlou told the truth one by one. "Senior, please observe! The mental cultivation method I am currently practicing was obtained from a death row prisoner. Ever since the death row prisoner obtained the secret manual, he had been hiding it, not daring to practice. For the sake of his family's safety, he was only willing to trade it before he died.

At first, this junior also thought it was roadside trash and didn't take it to heart. It was only months after the person died that I dug out the secret manual. Once I practiced it, it was incredible; it was as if it were tailor-made for me, improving a thousand miles a day! Senior, don't laugh, but ever since then, I have believed that I am a person of natural talent, a martial arts genius, a person of supreme talent. Previously, people were blind and didn't discover the shining points on me. I have today entirely because of the mental cultivation secret manual."

"Oh?" Zhou Mobai was half-believing. "A mental cultivation secret manual can make you undergo such a rebirth. Why not take it out for this old man to see? I want to see if there is actually a mental cultivation secret manual in this world that I don't know about that can lead to quick success."

Chen Guanlou's face showed hesitation, slightly unwilling.

"What, you can't bear to?" Zhou Mobai sneered. If the other party had agreed readily, he would have been suspicious. Seeing the kid surnamed Chen looking pained and reluctant, it seemed that the previous explanation had some truth to it. He became even more interested.

At this moment, Chen Guanlou's brain was spinning rapidly.

Zhou Mobai is a lunatic, his personality is crazy!

Previously, he only let him go because he was wary of Eunuch Wei and the Bird Monk.

This time, there is no Eunuch Wei, no Bird Monk; he can only rely on himself to get through the difficulty.

The one surnamed Zhou is clearly a person with extreme paranoia and is extremely conceited. To deal with such a person, one must never be blindly obedient.

He showed a look of difficulty. "Senior, this request... it's not that this junior can't bear to. This junior is afraid..."

"Are you afraid that this old man will kill you to seize the treasure?" Zhou Mobai first sneered, then his face fell, and the pressure in the room increased manifold. The entire house seemed to be twisting, about to turn into a monster and strangle everything inside.

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Guanlou's forehead, and his body was forced to bend and kneel on the ground. His whole body was bearing the weight of a mountain. He wanted to resist, but found himself so insignificant that he couldn't resist at all.

That sentence was not wrong: below the Grandmaster realm, all are ants!

"Senior, spare my life!"

"How can I spare you? You kid, you have teased this old man several times; killing you is like killing an ant!"

"Senior cannot kill me. I, I have the jade pendant gifted by Eunuch Wei!"

"A mere jade pendant can protect you once, but it cannot protect you a second time."

"Senior, don't you want to know where Zhang Daohe's opportunity lies?"

"Presumptuous!"

As soon as the words fell, a violent wind suddenly rose.

Chen Guanlou felt his body suddenly lighten. Without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly retreated, retreating outside the house, gasping like an ox, ready to fight for his life at any moment.

"Come in!"

Zhou Mobai ordered, "Otherwise, die!"

Chen Guanlou:...

Quickly weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to enter the house.

"Senior!"

"Hand it over. Don't make this old man say it a third time. Perhaps I should just kill you first, raze this house to the ground, and I will still be able to find the secret manual you speak of."

"Senior doesn't need to dirty your own hands; I will go and retrieve the secret manual."

"Oh?" Zhou Mobai smiled mockingly. "Not reluctant anymore?"

"Life is at stake; how to choose, this junior has his own ideas. I only ask that after senior obtains the secret manual, you can spare my life. At the very least, I am still of some use."

"Rest assured! As long as you are honest and don't play tricks, and don't try to hide secrets, this old man won't go on a killing spree. If you harbor any fluke, telling half and keeping half, trying to muddle through, I will definitely make you die without a burial place. And your entire Chen clan will suffer the consequences!"

Chen Guanlou:...

Hehe!

Strength is insufficient; for today, I will endure the one surnamed Zhou.

Another day, when I advance to the Grandmaster realm, I will definitely kill this person!

He went to the kitchen, took out the secret manual hidden in the cave, and offered it with both hands!

"Senior, please observe! This is the mental cultivation secret manual I am currently practicing; it is as if I have divine help!"

Zhou Mobai snatched the secret manual, seeing only the three characters "Ascension Record" written on it.

He flipped through it eagerly, his face showing shock and suspicion, as if he couldn't believe it.

"This secret manual, did you truly obtain it from a death row prisoner!"

"Absolutely true! This junior dares not have the slightest concealment." ===== CHAPTER 804 =====
