Chapter 39: Unprecedented Achievements

  "Uncle Fu, I want some martial arts secret manuals." Xiao Fan directly found Uncle Fu and told him his thoughts.

  "What kind of secret recipe does Second Young Master want?" Fu Bo asked with a slight pause.

  "Just a simple manual will do, ordinary, um, better if there's more." said Xiao Fan.

  "Alright, Second Master, follow me." Fu Bo led Xiao Fan to the secret vault of the Xiao family.

  This hidden room is inside the Xiao family's secret chamber and doesn't have particularly strict protection, because the secret books inside are all ordinary goods.

  Xiao Fan took a look, in a secret room about the same size as the bedroom, there were neatly arranged more than a dozen bookshelves, on which were placed one after another, hundreds of secret books.

  "Are these all secret recipes?" Xiao Fan's eyes widened in surprise.

  "Heh heh, that's right. These secret recipes are just the most ordinary ones, all collected by Master and me over the years, used to reward our servants." Fu Bo said with a smile.

  "So many secret recipes, and they're actually just used to reward subordinates..." Xiao Fan's mouth corners twitched slightly.

  "Second Master, if you just want to broaden your horizons and take a look at these secret manuals, that's fine. You don't need to waste your time cultivating the martial arts secrets within them, as they are only suitable for those who have reached the Refining Body realm." Fu Bo advised.

  "Ah, I see. I was just curious anyway. You go ahead and attend to your business, Mr. Fu. I'll take a look myself." Xiao Fan said with a smile.

  "Yes, I'll take my leave first." Fu Bo left the secret chamber, leaving Xiao Fan alone in front of the hundreds of secret manuals inside.

  "These are all swordsmanship manuals." Xiao Fan walked closer to one of the bookshelves, and the entire shelf was filled with swordsmanship manuals.

  "Great Wind Sword Technique."

  Xiao Fan picked up one of them and read it word by word.

  "Sword shadow like wind, sword energy follows wind, great wind rises, sword energy dances in the air, wind follows sword's rise, sword follows wind's movement."

  After finishing the entire secret book in one breath, Xiao Fan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, only to feel that the entire secret book was vividly in front of him, and he had actually memorized the entire book after reading it just once.

  "Next, let me try if this super cheat is omnipotent." A smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face.

  Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, his entire being entering a state of empty clarity, all his thoughts sinking into the ocean of spiritual consciousness.

  In Xiao Fan's spiritual sea of consciousness, the incantation and moves of 'Dà Fēng Jiàn Fǎ' slowly flowed by.

  At the same time, Xiao Fan's spiritual sea of consciousness suddenly opened its eyes, with a knife and a sword appearing in his eyes. The small sword in his left eye flew out of his eyes and began to perform the essence of the Great Wind Sword Technique in his spiritual sea of consciousness.

  After completing the evolution of the Great Wind Swordsmanship's essence, Xiao Fan's spiritual consciousness returned to his body and opened his eyes.

  "Great Wind Sword Technique..."

  Xiao Fang's right hand index and middle fingers formed a sword shape, beginning to unleash the Great Wind Sword Technique within the secret room.

  The sword light dances in between, with strong winds following, the sword moves with the wind, the wind blows and the sword moves, the sword dance rises with the wind.

  The essence of the Great Wind Swordsmanship was all in Xiao Fan's hands, and it was as if he had mastered this entire set of sword techniques in just a split second.

  "It's really too good!"

  Xiao Fan couldn't help but let out a loud cry, feeling that this world was just too perfect.

  "Thanks to Tongtian Jiao for giving me the super cheat device..." Xiao Fan muttered excitedly, his whole body dancing with joy in the secret room.

  "I'll try again next time."

  Xiao Fan shifted his gaze to another bookshelf and pulled out a secret manual from a set of boxing manuals, carefully examining it.

  This boxing manual is called Dalifutu Boxing, and the fist emphasizes having a momentum of subduing the dragon and tiger.

  After the significant increase in spiritual power, Xiao Fan was able to achieve a photographic memory, and after finishing this secret book, the entire content of the secret book was already completely memorized by him, without missing a single word.

  Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the spiritual sea. When he concentrated all his spirit on the mental image of Tongtian Sect Master's virtual shadow in his mind, he suddenly found that Tongtian Sect Master's eyes were still closed.

  "What's going on? Has this cheat device stopped working?"

  Xiao Fan didn't believe in evil, and continued to concentrate his mind in the spiritual sea of consciousness to transform his fist technique. After trying for a long time, the virtual image of Tongtian Sect Master was still motionless, and he could only give up in the end.

  "Is this cheat device sometimes effective and sometimes not?" Xiao Fan sat on the ground with his chin in his hands, deep in thought.

  "No way, I'll try a few more times. Even if it's just luck, I want to figure out how long it takes to succeed once."

  Xiao Fangdiao picked up a manual of palm techniques on the other side and began to study it. After finishing reading, he continued to experiment.

  However, the result was the same as before. No matter how he waited or prepared, the illusory projection of Tongtian Sect's master in his spiritual sea remained motionless.

  "Not good, let's change another one."

  Xiao Fan picked up another secret book called "Diamond Finger" and tried again, only to find that it was still the same, the cheating device no longer worked.

  "Another one."

  Xiao Fan picked up a knife technique manual called "Five Tigers Breaking the Gate", and after reading it, Xiao Fan continued to sink his consciousness into the spiritual sea of consciousness.

  When Xiao Fan's consciousness entered the spiritual sea, he found that the eyes of Tongtian Sect Master in the spiritual sea had already opened. A small knife flew out from his right eye and transformed into a treasure knife in mid-air, beginning to evolve the essence of 'Wuhu Duanmen Knife'.

  In less than a moment, the essence of 'Wu Hu Duan Men Dao' was grasped by Xiao Fan.

  Consciousness returned to his physical body, Xiao Fan fell into deep thought: after these experiments, it seemed that only the secret books related to knife and sword techniques would be practiced.

  Yes, when the Tongtian Sect Master's eyes opened, his right eye was a small knife and his left eye was a small sword. In other words, only the secret books of knives and swords were useful.

  "You'll know after trying a few more times."

  This time, Xiao Fan only studied the secret books related to swordsmanship and knife techniques.

  After studying the sword manual, Xiao Fan's consciousness sank into the spiritual sea, and indeed, the small sword flew out of Tong Tian Jiao Zhu's left eye, performing the essence of this sword technique.

  "It really works."

  Xiao Fan was overjoyed, and picked up another book related to knife skills to try it out. As expected, the small knife flew out of the right eye of Tongtian Sect Master's virtual shadow and transformed into the essence of knife skills.

  "I get it." Xiao Fan burst out laughing: "It turns out that only secret manuals related to swordsmanship and knife techniques can be transformed, so from now on, as long as they are secret manuals of knife and sword techniques, I will be able to learn them easily."

  "This cheat device may have some flaws, and other fist techniques or palm techniques can't be transformed, but being able to transform into sword techniques is already incredible."

  "It was worth it, not in vain I suffered from more than half a month of headaches, to condense you out." Xiao Fan thought with joy, feeling that the previous sufferings were all worthwhile.

  "Coos..."

  Just as Xiao Fang was feeling happy, his stomach let out a rumbling growl. His face stiffened and he looked up at the sky to see that it had already become deep night.

  "Time flies so fast, it's already deep in the night. Hmm, first go get something to eat, then rest for a while, and then come back to master all these sword techniques."

  Xiao Fan left the secret room and went to find something to eat. After that, he returned to his own courtyard and slept soundly until noon the next day.

  The next day, Xiao Fan still came to the secret room and began to practice the swordsmanship skills in the secret room.

  These secret books about knife and sword techniques are not many, but all together there are thirty or forty volumes.

  Xiao Fan was able to digest about five secret manuals per day on average. When he had digested all the secret manuals related to knives and swords in the secret room, eight or nine days had passed.

  On the ninth day at noon, Xiao Fan threw away the last swordsmanship secret book and walked out of the secret room with a confident expression on his face, looking up at the sky.

  In the span of nine days, he learned nearly forty ancient tomes of secret techniques. What an achievement this is! Although these tomes were merely simple and basic techniques, for ordinary people, it would take them several months just to memorize these techniques. Yet, Xiao Fan mastered all of them, truly a feat that has never been accomplished since the dawn of time.

  "Life is indeed so beautiful..."

  Xiao Er Shao seemed like a wild wolf, facing the scorching sun, let out a wolf howl that shook the City Lord's Manor.
