Xu Yan looked at the transparent panel in front of him. What is this?
Host: Xu Yan
Modification Value: 0
Martial Arts: None
Although there were only three lines of words, the information revealed was quite shocking.
In this situation, either he was very lucky and obtained the legendary system that could change his fate, or he had a mental problem and would probably be admitted to a mental hospital in a few days …
Hopefully it was the first …
But how do I verify whether this system is real or fake?
Xu Yan waved his hand in the air a few times and found that the panel was completely virtual. He could not touch it at all.
He focused on the modification value on the panel and looked at it for a long time without any reaction.
This system seemed to be a half-finished product. There was not even a manual.
What should I do?
Xu Yan looked at the virtual panel and fell into deep thought.
…
Maybe I should find a martial art to try first. After all, no matter how powerful the modifier was, it still needed something to modify it. His martial arts column was empty. He could not modify it even if he wanted to.
Xu Yan turned on his phone and entered martial arts secret manuals. He clicked to start searching. Suddenly, a bunch of marketing accounts appeared, saying that there were ten famous martial arts secret manuals in history, ten real martial arts secret manuals, and so on.
It was obvious that these were all made up and had no use at all.
Xu Yan patiently scrolled down and a post appeared in front of Xu Yan.
"Today, I was cleaning my old house and found a box full of martial arts secret manuals!
Do you think my ancestors were martial arts families? "
This was a post by a netizen named Dugu Bai. There was even a picture attached to the post. In the picture, there was a floor full of martial arts manuals. There were Nine Yang Divine Art, Nine Yin Divine Art, Xuanming Divine Art, and so on. There was even a Sunflower Manual!
Xu Yan opened the post and looked at the replies. Sure enough, the enthusiastic netizens were trying to prevent the OP from being addicted to martial arts.
"Is there a Buddha's Palm?
I'll buy it for ten yuan! "There was also a picture of an old beggar holding a martial arts secret manual.
"Qualified second poster!"
"These netizens have all kinds of pictures!"
…
Although the original poster tried his best to argue, it was useless in the midst of the netizens' playfulness. He could only gradually fall into silence.
Xu Yan looked at the post and thought for a while. He opened Dugu Bai's space and sent him a private message to see if he could take a look at these secret martial arts manuals.
This was something that couldn't be helped. Xu Yan searched the Internet for a long time, but he didn't find anything. He could only try his best.
If it wasn't far away, Xu Yan would directly take a car there. If it was far away, then forget it.
…
In less than half an hour, Xu Yan received a reply to his private message.
Dugu Bai asked, "You want to read the manual?"
Xu Yan replied, "Yes, tell me your location. If it's close, I'll take a car there."
Dugu Bai said, "I can take a look, but I have to say in advance that these manuals are not for sale."
"Don't worry, I'm not going to buy it. I'm just interested in the martial arts secret book. I want to see what's written in the martial arts secret book." Xu Yan said.
"Then you might be disappointed. The content is a mess. I can't understand it at all."
"It's okay. I just want to take a look."
"Okay then. My hometown is in Jinshui County, Xiliang City. Call me when you arrive at the Jinshui Bus Station. I'll take you there."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After taking down Dugu Bai's phone number, Xu Yan opened the ticket booking app and booked a ticket to Jinshui County.
After doing all this, Xu Yan let out a sigh of relief. He would know tomorrow whether the modifier was real or fake.
But it was strange. Why would the modifier appear at this time?
Nothing strange has happened recently, right?
Forget it. I don't even know if the modifier is real or fake!
…
Xu Yan was 21 years old. He had just graduated from university and found an ordinary company to work. He worked six days a week and took one day off. His monthly salary was about 5,000 yuan, which was not too bad.
He lived in a rented apartment near the company. It had one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. It cost 1,200 yuan a month. The environment was quite good.
Xu Yan's parents were not in Cangzhou City. They lived in Xihe Village in Guanghua County. They were farmers.
Xu Yan had been an ordinary person since he was young. There was nothing special about him. How could such a strange thing happen?
Xu Yan could not figure it out. However, to encounter something that could change his future, no matter what its origin was, he had to give it a try. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
…
The next day was Sunday. Xu Yan did not need to ask for leave from the company. He could leave immediately.
After a four-hour journey, Xu Yan arrived at the Jinshui Bus Station.
Earlier in the car, Xu Yan had already told Dugu Bai about his arrival time through the phone. Dugu Bai should have arrived by now.
At this moment, Xu Yan's phone rang. It was a call from Dugu Bai.
"Are you out of the station now?"
"I just came out. Where are you?"
"East of the bus station. Can you see me?"
…
After some maneuvering, Xu Yan and Dugu Bai sat in the car to the countryside.
What made Xu Yan speechless was that Dugu Bai's real name was actually Dugu Bai!
His surname was really Dugu!
This made Xu Yan have a trace of expectation for the authenticity of the martial arts secret manuals.
Dugu Bai's hometown was in a small village next to Jinshui County. It was not very far away. It took about half an hour to arrive.
He followed Dugu Bai into a small house. The martial arts secret manuals were placed on the table. There were dozens of them, filling up the big table!
Xu Yan walked to the table and looked at the martial arts secret manuals. "Can I just pick them up and read them?"
Dugu Bai nodded and said, "Of course, just be careful."
Xu Yan took a deep breath and picked up the Nine Yang Divine Art manual in front of him. He opened it and read it.
Seeing Xu Yan's solemn expression, Dugu Bai was also a bit confused. This secret manual couldn't be real, right?
Dugu Bai shook his head and dispelled the unrealistic thoughts in his mind. How could there be martial arts in this world?
If martial arts really existed, why hadn't he heard of it since he was young?
After thinking about it, Dugu Bai walked into the house and took two chairs. He gave one to Xu Yan and sat on the other. Then, he played with his phone at the side.
These martial arts secret manuals were very thin. Each book only had about a dozen pages. Although he could not understand them, he could finish one book in a few minutes.
Closing the Nine Yang Divine Art manual, Xu Yan looked at the panel. There was no response.
Xu Yan put down the Nine Yang Divine Art manual without any expression. He picked up the Xuanming Divine Art manual and continued reading.
Soon, he had read more than half of the martial arts secret manuals. Xu Yan's heart gradually sank.
The panel did not respond to these martial arts secret manuals at all. Could these secret manuals be fake?
Or were they martial arts that had to be learned before they could appear on the panel?
If it was the former, it would be fine. At least there was a glimmer of hope. However, if it was the latter, it would be troublesome. He could not even understand the martial arts secret manuals. How could he learn them?
As for finding a teacher to teach him, he had to be able to find one. Xu Yan had never heard of a real martial arts master.
