Shadowless Quick Saber, Water-Gliding Lightness Skill

"Oh, is that so?"
Chen Fan quickly apologized, his voice sincere. "Old gentleman, I'm really sorry. I wasn't careful and just skimmed through it."
"No matter, no matter."
The old man waved his hand with a generous look. "Little brother, this Nine Yang Divine Art and the Buddha's Palm from before are both peerless martial arts. If you buy one, I can sell it to you cheap. Nine yuan a book, how about it?"
"But this one is still too profound, I don't understand it. How about I look at something else?"
Chen Fan blinked.
He was also doubting his life a bit.
Were these two books fake, or had he read too little to meet the system's acquisition threshold?
Anyway, he decided to look through these dozen or so books first. If there was no harvest, he would spend ten yuan to buy one to verify, treating it as trial and error.
"Alright."
The old man hesitated for a moment but still nodded.
Compared to those who came to buy, the kid in front of him was more honest. Unlike some people who asked a question for every sentence they read, asked for a long time, and bought nothing, wasting his feelings.
Seeing Chen Fan pick up a book, look at it for a while, put it back, pick up another, and put it back, the people who had gradually arrived from Chenjia Stockade were all stunned.
"Guodong, what is Xiao Fan doing?"
"Is he choosing martial arts secret manuals?
But isn't this old man selling fakes?"
"Yeah, don't let him get scammed."
Chen Guodong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, saying, "He should be choosing?
But since Xiao Fan is doing this, he must have his own plans. We just need to watch."
"Mm."
The others looked at each other, feeling they really couldn't help.
On the other side, the old man didn't speak either.
At first, whenever Chen Fan picked up a manual, he would enthusiastically introduce it. In the end, the kid in front of him still put it down after reading halfway, put it down after reading halfway.
"Is this kid deliberately here to cause trouble?"
He frowned slightly.
Right at this moment, Chen Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
There was one!
Indeed, he had found a real one!
The specific information was as follows:
Shadowless Quick Saber (Incomplete): Completely Ignorant (0%)
Collection Progress: 36%
Additional Conditions: Third Layer of Body Tempering, Level 5 Basic Saber Technique
Conditions not met, cannot supplement cultivation.
This saber technique was extremely fast. Often, before the opponent could see your movements clearly, the saber was already before their eyes, hence the ancient name Shadowless Quick Saber.
Coincidentally, he had just bought a dagger. A dagger was neither a saber nor a sword, but it could be used as either. Therefore, it was perfect for practicing this saber technique.
This way, even if someone got close to him and he didn't have time to use his gun, he could still use the saber for self-defense.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it in his eyes at all, because there might be other real ones among the unread books.
And the old man who wrote these manuals must know.
So if his abnormality was noticed, wanting to continue reading for free would definitely not work.
"Could this kid have realized this saber technique is real?"
Little did he know, the old man had still noticed something was off.
But right at this moment, Chen Fan, just like before, put this manual back to its original place and picked up one next to it.
"I say, little brother, are you going to buy or not?"
Seeing that half of the manuals had been read and this kid still had no intention of buying, the old man couldn't take it anymore.
"I'll buy, of course I'll buy,"
Chen Fan said without hesitation.
"Then you've been looking for half the day, is there not a single one you fancy?"
"There are, I just want to see if there are better ones behind."
Chen Fan said with a chuckle.
The old man's eyes swept over a certain manual intentionally or unintentionally, thinking to himself that of course there were, but even if you saw it, you would miss it.
Of course, if you bought them all, you wouldn't miss it.
It was just that, how should he put it, it was just an incomplete copy. After all, it was only ten yuan, what kind of bicycle did you want?
Chen Fan sighed and continued to pick up a manual.
The name of the manual was very familiar, called Water-Gliding Lightness Skill. It seemed to be the kind of common martial art found everywhere.
But if it was real, it would be different.
After reading one page, Chen Fan looked at the skill bar in his mind, and his heart instantly filled with joy.
Another real one!
Water-Gliding (Incomplete): Completely Ignorant (0%)
Collection Progress: 10%
Additional Conditions: Second Layer of Body Tempering, Level 3 Basic Movement Art
Conditions not met, cannot supplement cultivation.
"Basic Movement Art?"
He muttered in his heart.
He knew Basic Footwork, but what was this Basic Movement Art?
"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this. Continuing to read to increase the collection progress is the urgent matter."
He turned a page and quickly read the second page.
In the skill column, the collection progress of Water-Gliding increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When he had read halfway, Chen Fan very consciously put this manual down.
Collection Progress: 30%
Which meant that even if he finished reading it, it wouldn't reach 100%. This old man was indeed cunning.
He quickly read a few more, which were also fake. In the blink of an eye, only the last two books remained: one was Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, and the other was Great Strength Vajra Palm.
To be honest, Chen Fan felt it was worth it.
Two consecutive martial arts manuals, all read for free without spending a single penny.
But how should he put it, human desire is boundless. If one of the remaining two books could be real, that would be too wonderful.
Leaving everything else aside, just looking at these names, they were incredibly domineering.
"Little brother, that's about enough, right?"
Just then, a hand blocked him. The smile on the old man's face disappeared, and he said in an displeased tone, "You've read so many books before, you should have found one you like, right?
If not, whether you read these last two books or not won't make much of a difference."
"Heh, this old man has quite a temper."
Gao Yang watched with amusement.
Every time they passed by before, this old man was always smiling. Although he would curse behind people's backs, this was the first time his face had turned so dark.
"Ah, is this normal?"
"Yes, very normal."
Liu Yong and the others nodded.
With Xiao Fan reading without buying and reading for so long, if it were them, they would have lost their patience long ago.
"?"
Chen Fan was slightly startled. His eyes met the old man's, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
What was the situation?
Could it be that among the remaining two manuals, there really was a real one?
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that this man was playing hard to get.
He thought about it and smiled, "Old gentleman, there are only two books left. Just let me take a look. Once I'm done, I'll definitely buy one."
The old man glanced at him and said, "Buy first, then talk."
"Read first, then buy."
"Buy first, then read."
"If I don't buy, you won't let me read?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really."
The old man shook his head, his attitude very firm.
Because he suspected this kid was some bastard sent to deliberately tease him.
Putting on such a serious face, if you said this kid was an expert, he couldn't even tell that the two books before were real.
