The subsequent ethereal images changed, revealing various parts of the world. Under collisions of cosmic energy, rifts in space and time appeared, both large and small. These rifts brought many unexpected things to Earth, including Extraordinary Creatures, mythical creatures, ghosts, and some entities beyond comprehension...
"After the Sky Tipping incident, the gates that allowed invaders into our world were not closed. Instead, over the next decade, they continued to be opened, with varying frequency," Anna’s voice continued.
"Can’t we skip over this stuff that we already know?" someone asked coldly.
Anna did not respond and continued the lecture.
"You don’t have the authority, can’t fast forward—just listen patiently," said the warrior in combat armor, with purple pupils, who seemed to understand these intelligent technologies quite well.
"I’m not patient. If I can’t get some useful information, I don’t want to waste eight hours here. I didn’t enter Golden Academy to listen to a robot’s lecture; I came here to progress." The person stood up, glanced at the crowd, and finally his gaze rested on Li Yi.
Sitting not far away, Li Yi slightly furrowed his brow, "Why are you staring at me? I don’t know you."
"I heard just now that you want to sell a Martial Arts heritage; would you mind doing a business deal with me too?" the man said.
Li Yi cocked his head slightly, "Do business with you? Who are you?"
"Tianning City, Zhao Fangji. You’d know who I am if you ever visited Tianning City." Zhao Fangji said calmly, yet revealing a strong confidence. Obviously, he too was a top figure in his city.
"Zhao Fangji? Never heard of him." Li Yi waved his hand, "I don’t do deals with just anybody."
"Whose money isn’t money? My offer will definitely satisfy you," Zhao Fangji said.
"You make some sense. Let’s hear your offer," Li Yi said. His Martial Arts heritage wasn’t cheap, and among these people, only Jiang Mingtian could afford it, and that too was a favor price; otherwise, none of the new students could afford it.
So his business wasn’t doing very well.
Zhao Fangji reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver fruit that emitted a faint glow. "This is a special fruit. Eating it would refine your body, letting you unlock the shackles of your body without worrying about damaging it. I’ll give you ten fruits. After eating them, you’ll be just like me."
After speaking, his eyes flickered, and he threw a punch.
The punch seemed as if the shackles of his body were being unlocked. With one punch, he shattered the air, creating a sonic boom that buzzed all around.
Everyone’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
Strength of the Soul Realm?
This Zhao Fangji had already unlocked some of the shackles of his body while in the Spiritual Realm, possessing the power only available in the Soul Realm. This literally defied logic... another freak, maybe?
"How about it, aren’t my stakes high enough? Moreover, the shackles haven’t been fully unlocked in my body yet, power is limited. After you break through to the Soul Realm and unlock all the shackles in your body, your strength will greatly increase."
"So it seems, your physical body is strong, Divine Power unparalleled, but you lack Martial Arts methods to perfectly harness this power. That’s why you were so eager upon hearing ’Martial Arts heritage’ and couldn’t wait to make a deal with me?" Now Li Yi understood his intention.
Indeed, Martial Arts methods were highly compatible with Evolvers.
Whether it was Di Zhu’an, the warrior with purple pupils, or Jiang Mingtian who favored swordsmanship, all of them coveted Martial Arts methods.
The Martial Arts heritage in his possession might not belong to the top Cultivation methods in Golden Academy, but because of its high compatibility, it had become a sought-after commodity; everyone wanted it.
"Not bad, I need Martial Arts methods to unleash my potential," Zhao Fangji spoke, "There are Martial Arts methods in Golden Academy’s store that involve cultivating Inner Strength, but they are not very impressive. At their peak, they can only break stones from a distance and climb walls, and since others are willing to spend a hundred thousand points on your Martial Arts heritage, it must be worthwhile. I might as well take a gamble."
He didn’t need to see it for himself; trusting the public’s eyes was enough. Not to make a profit, but at least not to lose.
Li Yi then spoke, "Your exotic fruits are good, but I prefer cash. Go and sell ten fruits; see if you can gather a hundred thousand points, and then come to me if you do."
Zhao Fangji’s face darkened upon hearing this.
A fruit selling for ten thousand; he had estimated that it definitely wouldn’t fetch that much, that’s why he sought a private deal with Li Yi.
If it were to be converted into money, he would not get a good deal.
Trait for trait, it depended on needs.
Others might think it’s a bargain, but if one urgently needs it, it’s hard to say who profits more—it’s a win-win.
"So, you’re refusing to trade?" Zhao Fangji’s voice turned cold.
Li Yi looked back, "What, your tone sounds like a threat? What, am I easy to bully?"
"Not threatening, I just visited a world which, although boring, has a feature I like. When there’s an issue, they prefer to handle it through a duel. How about we have a fight? If you win, I’ll give you ten exotic fruits for free; if I win, you give me the Martial Arts heritage. What do you think?" Zhao Fangji made a proposal.
