But he had no choice now. He could only patiently try them one by one.
After another half an hour, there was still no response from the panel.
Xu Yan put down the Vajra Arts and picked up the next book. The next book was called Iron Shirt Technique.
Xu Yan reached out and picked it up. Just as his hand touched the secret manual, a mysterious force was absorbed into Xu Yan's body.
The panel changed!
Host: Xu Yan
Modification Value: 5
Cultivation Method: None
The modification value became 5. That force just now should be the modification value!
A flower planted with the intention never blooms, but an unintentional willow grows!
Although he did not find the cultivation method, he found the modification value!
However, since this Iron Shirt Technique had the modification value, it should be a real martial arts secret manual!
Xu Yan patiently opened the Iron Shirt Technique and read it carefully.
After reading the Iron Shirt Technique, Xu Yan looked at the panel.
Host: Xu Yan
Modification Value: 5
Cultivation Method: Iron Shirt Technique (Uninitiated) +
Sure enough!
This is really a martial arts secret manual!
This time, he had the modification value for the cultivation method. Killing two birds with one stone!
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Xu Yan finished reading the rest of the basic martial arts secret manuals. Sure enough, the rest were ordinary items. There was nothing like the Iron Shirt Technique.
After reading all the secret manuals, Xu Yan stood up and bid farewell to Dugu Bai. After some hesitation, he decided to give Dugu Bai a reminder. After all, Dugu Bai had let him read so many secret manuals. It would not be right if he did not express his gratitude.
"That Iron Shirt Technique manual should be something good. It has a lot of collection value. You should pay more attention to it."
Dugu Bai was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and picked up the Iron Shirt Technique manual. After flipping through it a few times, he did not find anything special. When he turned around to look at Xu Yan, Xu Yan had already left.
Could it be that this Iron Shirt Technique was really a martial arts secret manual?
And Xu Yan was a martial arts expert?
For a moment, Dugu Bai's thoughts were in a mess. He did not expect to meet a martial arts expert when he was showing off his collection of books!
…
When Xu Yan returned home, it was already night time. After casually tidying up, Xu Yan opened the panel.
Host: Xu Yan
Modification value: 5
Cultivation Method: Iron Cloak Technique (Uninitiated) +
Now that he had both the modification points and the cultivation technique, he could try out the Modifier.
Xu Yan focused his attention and looked at the + symbol behind the Iron Cloak Technique. The interface blurred for a moment, and the modification value decreased by a little. The 'Uninitiated' behind the Iron Cloak Technique had become 'Initiated'!
At the same time, a warm current gushed out from Xu Yan's body and instantly spread throughout his body.
Xu Yan only felt warm and comfortable, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
A few minutes later, the heat was completely absorbed by his body. Xu Yan stood up and clenched his fists. He felt that his entire body was filled with energy. He did 50 push-ups in one breath and did not feel tired at all!
Moreover, his skin seemed to have undergone some changes. Xu Yan stretched out his hand and pinched it. It felt like cowhide, very firm and very tough.
The current him should be much stronger than an ordinary person. However, he still had 4 modification points. He should be able to upgrade the Iron Cloak Technique again!
Once again, he tapped on the [+] symbol behind the Iron Cloak Technique, and an even stronger warm current flowed through his body. However, this time, it wasn't a warm feeling. Xu Yan felt as if his entire body was on fire, and it was burning with pain!
After a few minutes, the burning pain disappeared, leaving behind only the swelling pain of his muscles.
Host: Xu Yan
Modification value: 2
Cultivation Method: Iron Cloak Technique (Small Success)
The + symbol behind the Iron Cloak Technique had also disappeared. It should be that the modification value was insufficient. After all, from Initiation to Small Success required 2 modification points. From Small Success to Large Success, it would require at least 3 modification points.
This time, he was too anxious. He should have slowly upgraded it. At least when he reached Initiation, he should have stopped for a few days to allow his body to adapt to the sudden increase in strength.
This time, the increase in strength was too fast. All the muscles in his body were swelling painfully. He was asking for trouble.
After lying on the bed for a while, the swelling pain in his muscles subsided. Xu Yan struggled to get up and walked to the table. He wanted to take a sip of water, but the moment he picked it up, the glass was crushed.
As expected, the increase in strength was too fast. He could not control it.
After carefully drinking the water, Xu Yan lay on the bed without moving, waiting for his body to adapt.
… …
The next morning, Xu Yan got up from the bed. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at his chiseled muscles. His heart was filled with joy. He never thought that he would have such muscles.
Stretching out his hand, he clenched his fist and felt the strength in his body. Xu Yan felt that he could kill a cow with a single punch!
Of course, this was just an illusion caused by the increase in strength. Currently, Xu Yan's strength was only three times that of an ordinary person. It was impossible for him to kill a cow with that strength.
If he wanted to kill a cow with a single punch, he might not be able to do it even if his Iron Cloak Technique reached perfection. After all, the main purpose of Iron Cloak Technique was to increase his defense. It did not increase his strength by much.
Thinking of this, Xu Yan touched his skin. It was indeed tougher.
Although the color of his skin did not change much, his defense had greatly increased.
Xu Yan walked to the living room and used a fruit knife to cut his arm. As expected, he did not feel any pain. Only a white mark was left on his skin.
Although he had only used half of his strength, it was still equivalent to an ordinary person's full strength. Even so, it did not break his defense. This Iron Cloak Technique was really something!
After washing up and changing his clothes, Xu Yan left for work.
Although he had already submitted his resignation letter to his boss yesterday, he still had to hand over his work before he could officially leave.
The working hours were quite boring. Fortunately, Xu Yan did not have a lot of work to do. Hence, he opened the website and searched for the nearby second-hand market.
This was Xu Yan's speculation about the source of the modification value. Although he was not sure, the older the item, the higher the possibility of obtaining the modification value.
If he wanted to obtain the modification value again, the second-hand antique market was definitely the best choice.
After searching for a while, he found a lot. It was enough to fill up three or four antique streets and two second-hand markets!
Xu Yan clicked on them one by one. He was going to pick one to have a look after work.
"Hey, Brother Xu, are you looking at the antique street?
Don't tell me you want to buy antiques! "
The person who spoke was Xue Chengkai. He was Xu Yan's best friend in the company.
"Yeah, I want to buy antiques. Maybe I can pick up some good ones!"
Xu Yan did not intend to hide it. He estimated that he would go to the antique market often in the future. If he told him in advance, it would be easier to explain in the future.
"Pick up some good ones?
Brother Xu, are you not awake yet?
Why are you talking in your sleep? "Xue Chengkai heard Xu Yan's words and said with a smile.
"Who knows? We have to have a glimmer of hope," Xu Yan said seriously.
Seeing that Xu Yan was so serious, Xue Chengkai stopped smiling and said, "Brother Xu, are you serious?
It's not that easy to pick up some good ones. After my grandfather retired, he shopped at street stalls for a few years. He bought all fake antiques and lost a lot of money! "
"It's okay. I'm just looking. I don't have to buy."
"If you are just looking, I can recommend you a place. There are a lot of old antiques. You can broaden your vision. Basically, you can't afford them. You don't have to worry about being cheated."
"Oh?
Where is that? "Xu Yan was curious.
"Eastern Suburbs Antique Street. I heard from my grandfather that there are a lot of good things there."
