Paying nearly 30,000 taels of silver, Wu Yuan put on the soft armor and fixed the flying knives one by one to his body, and finally covered it with clothes.
Finally, he took a few books, picked up a large package filled with a thousand 'bone forging pills', and stood up to leave the Star Building.
Mix in the bustling crowd.
"No one is following." Wu Yuan sensed the surrounding environment: "It is indeed a government-level Qunxing Tower, and it behaves in a grand manner."
Although the transaction of tens of thousands of taels of silver was considered a large amount, it would not alarm the senior officials of Qunxing Building.
"It's time to buy main battle weapons." Wu Yuan walked quickly, but he did not attract the attention of others.
This degree is difficult to grasp.
... After spending more than an hour and walking through four large weapon shops, Wu Yuan finally selected a fourth-grade sword from a not too big 'weapon shop'.
A fourth-grade sharp weapon is already a top treasure in many weapon shops.
As for the magic weapon?
Without monstrous strength and background, even if they obtain magic weapons, most weapons shops are unwilling to reveal them publicly.
If you don't do it right, top experts will be attracted to snatch it away.
Leave the weapons shop.
Wu Yuan bought an ordinary scabbard from an ordinary store, which could hide the edge of the sword.
Do all this well.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no 'tail' following him, Wu Yuan concealed his whereabouts and quietly returned to the martial arts academy.
Sneak all the way in.
No matter the sergeants outside the martial arts academy, the guards patrolling inside the martial arts academy, or even the first-class master "Gu Ji" guarding the first floor, they were not aware of Wu Yuan's coming and going.
Go upstairs along the wall.
In the center of the martial arts room, Wu Yuan sat cross-legged.
"The stronger the soul is, the more clearly I can sense the surrounding environment, which makes me understand the 'situation control' more deeply." Wu Yuan murmured to himself: "Compared with his previous life, his pure combat skills are not weak at all.
"
Five months of total sobriety.
Wu Yuan's strength has surpassed the peak of his previous life in all aspects.
Stepping into the level of 'situation control' again, Wu Yuan's concealment and stealth skills reached incredible levels.
"In terms of stealth methods, even if they are not as good as the masters on the Earth Ranking, they should be better than the top masters." Wu Yuan smiled slightly: "At least, Gu Ji never noticed it."
certainly.
This is why Wu Yuan slipped away from the other side of the courtyard to be cautious. What if he assassinated a top-notch master personally? It would be difficult to do so silently.
"If you can achieve the perfection of 'Situation Control' and completely control the surrounding environment, even the Dibang Grandmaster may not be able to detect my approach." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
The more he continues to practice this skill, the more Wu Yuan can feel the help of completely controlling the environment in combat, and his skills are close to the Tao!
certainly.
Now Wu Yuan can only be considered a beginner, and there is still a long way to go before absolute control.
"Black Mountain Knife!" Wu Yuan opened the package and grabbed the purchased scabbard with one hand.
Lift it up, it's very heavy!
After a moment of weighing, Wu Yuan was able to confirm that the sword and scabbard weighed a total of one thousand and six kilograms.
The knife is named Black Mountain because it is completely black and made of a special material that will not reflect light under any circumstances and is best suited for darkness.
Secondly, Wu Yuan's strongest sword technique is "Thousand Mountains".
The combination of the two gave birth to this Black Mountain Sword.
"Try again." Wu Yuan felt itchy in his heart, and held the handle of the knife with one hand. With a slight exertion, the black blade came out of the sheath with a 'swish' sound.
"call!"
The knife came out, Wu Yuan slashed forward with one arm, the blade tore through the air, there was a faint sound of explosion, and there seemed to be a low roar in the room.
The blade was three feet off the ground and was motionless.
"Sure enough, it is a good knife. It is no worse than Yang Long's original mountain knife, and is even better." Wu Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Under the extreme three-gravity force, it can easily withstand an explosion of 100,000 kilograms of force.
"
One of the key differences between sharp weapons is the strength limit of the material.
A sixth-grade weapon looks good on the surface, but for a master like Wu Yuan, if he fights with all his strength, the weapon may break in an instant.
"哐~" Sheathed the sword.
"This sword cost twelve thousand taels of silver."
"Yang Long's machete, now that I think about it, is probably worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. It would be a pity to throw it away." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
Of course, Wu Yuan has no regrets.
Yang Long's machete was so famous that everyone in Licheng knew about it, and the intelligence of all the forces was probably recorded. If Wu Yuan took it and used it, it would be too eye-catching.
Wu Yuan doesn't feel bad if he abandons it.
This time, Wu Yuan only bought soft armor and flying knives in Qunxing Building, but not a combat knife. This was also the reason.
Throwing knives are standard in Qunxing Tower, so many masters in the world buy them? No one can check them out.
Soft armor? Wear it close to the body and not easily exposed.
Only swords and heavy armor are very conspicuous, and most of these treasures are made individually, and corresponding records will be left in the Star Tower.
In the future, if Wu Yuan uses it and causes big trouble, the corresponding "intelligence system" of Qunxing Building will definitely investigate, and it will be easy to find out some clues.
The weapons shops Wu Yuan visited seemed to be large shops, but their business scope was limited to Nanmeng City. Most of the owners behind them didn't care who they sold to, let alone intelligence business.
Naturally, the possibility of Wu Yuan being exposed was greatly reduced.
This is also the reason why Wu Yuan specially purchased an ordinary scabbard.
Everything we do is for confidentiality and safety.
suddenly.
"Sir, are you still up late at night?" A deep voice sounded outside the door of the martial arts room, it was Gu Ji.
He just heard the sound of a knife being used.
"I haven't slept yet. I was practicing my sword just now. It's okay." Wu Yuan responded.
"Young master, please rest early. I'll go down first." Immediately, the sound of Gu Ji's footsteps coming downstairs was heard.
Until the stairwell was completely silent.
"You can't underestimate the perception of a top-notch master." Wu Yuan thought to himself: "It was right not to buy a spear or an axe, it would be too eye-catching."
Fight in groups with spears and axes, fight alone with swords!
This has always been Wu Yuan's habit.
However, now that Gu Ji is following him all day long, a sword is easy to hide, just put it in the scabbard and hang it on your waist. Just looking at the scabbard, Grandmaster Dibang can't tell anything about it.
But a spear or an ax? It’s easy to get into trouble!
Putting the sword next to his side, Wu Yuan took out the book that had been placed beside him for a long time, picked up the one stacked on top, and prepared to read it.
On the book, there are four large gilt characters written "The List of the World and the Earth".
"The Earth Ranking! I finally have a chance to get to know the peerless warriors of this world." Wu Yuan's eyes were filled with curiosity and even more anticipation.
This is also some information that he has heard long ago and is eager to know.
Qunxing Tower is spread all over the world, and the intelligence system is also spread all over the world. It counts the deeds of the world's martial arts masters and ranks their strength.
In the end, three major lists were formed: "Place List", "People List" and "Genius List", and each list is different.
The name "Grandmaster of the Earth Ranking" for a first-grade warrior also comes from the book "The Earth Ranking".
Only those with the first rank can be listed on the Earth Ranking!
In fact, Qunxinglou is not the only force that ranks the strength of martial arts masters. It is just that this force is well-informed and absolutely neutral. Over the long years, it has gradually been recognized by the entire world and finally established its authority.
Turn to the first page!
"The ninth level of martial arts is the way of manpower."
"Breaking the limits of life and transforming the human body is the way of immortality! It's the way of heaven! It's the way of God! That's why it's called the 'land god' on the list of heavens."
"The masters on the Heavenly List are close to immortals and gods. They are too far away from all living beings in the world. Their deeds are like myths and cannot be understood by ordinary people, so they are difficult to be listed on the Heavenly List."
"First-grade, grandmaster warriors, they are free in the world, established sects, or sealed territories. They are the pinnacle of humanity, the pinnacle of all living beings on the earth, and are the limit that most warriors can pursue... so they are called the 'Earth Ranking'"
Grandmaster'!"
"In the first year of the Eastern Martial Calendar, King Wu established the Martial Arts Sect and started the 'Martial Arts', designated the ninth level of Martial Arts, framed the pattern of the thirteen states in the world, and set the first place ranking..."
"In the year 1232 of the Eastern Wulin calendar, the 'Nine Immortals Pavilion' succeeded Wuzong and reset the list of places. It gradually became recognized and lasted for nearly a thousand years."
"In the year 2116 of the Eastern Wu calendar, thirteen years after the destruction of Jiuxian Pavilion, Qunxing Tower continued the legacy of its ancestors and republished the list of thirteen states..."
"In the year 2432 of the Eastern Wu calendar, on the basis of the original thirteen states of Sheng, Dong, Wu, Jiang, Chu, Yuan, Yan, Fujian, South, North, Desert, West and Huang, the martial arts masters from the overseas Qiong and Feng states were added.
, a total of fifteen states’ strong men were counted until today.”
"The "Di Bang" is published once a year and gathers all the Di Bang masters from the fifteen states. The rankings are reset in October every year and published in November. It is divided into two publications: the main one and the supplementary one."
"The main publication is the ranking of all the masters of the world's thirteen states and two overseas states. It is measured by actual combat power and assisted by 'rumours and legends'. The rankings are jointly determined by three masters of the world and eighteen top experts.
, and finally it will be handed over to the experts on the Heavenly List for review before it can be published in the world."
"The supplement is based on the scope of activities and strength of different regional masters, and the ranking of the regional masters in each state..."
"We, Qunxing Tower, carry out the ambition of King Wu. This is the 3223rd record. The review time ends in October 3223 of the Dongwu calendar..." Wu Yuan's heart surged as he read it.
King Wu is a legendary and powerful man in the Middle-earth world. He is a myth and a legend. He is the first master on the Heavenly Ranking with clear records.
He designated thirteen states. Although the counties and counties changed from time to time, the state territories were no longer controversial and continued for thousands of years.
He settled on the ninth level of martial arts, which remains to this day.
He set the rules of the Earth Ranking, and although there were some ups and downs along the way, it has been passed down through Wuzong, Jiuxian Pavilion, and Qunxing Tower to this day, and is still recognized by warriors all over the world.
Tianbang? Too far!
Climbing the Earth Ranking and being titled as a Grandmaster is the dream of every warrior in Middle-earth since they embark on the path of martial arts.
"This is from last year. If you do the math, it won't be long before the new "Earth Ranking" comes out." Wu Yuan thought and continued to read: "I want to take a look at how strong the Earth Ranking Masters in Middle-earth are.
.”
The light in the martial arts room was dim, but Wu Yuan could see clearly.
"Jin Cang, the strongest person on the Earth Ranking, the fourth generation Jin Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, controls the first-class divine weapon 'Jin Emperor Sword', he is sixty-two years old..." Wu Yuan flipped through the Earth Ranking and saw the first Grandmaster.
, which made him frown.
The contemporary emperor of the Jin Dynasty is so busy with state affairs.
Will he be the strongest person on the Earth Ranking?
