But because it was real, it appeared so fake.

How could there possibly be someone who, upon just receiving a manual, would instantly master it? Even for a formidable cultivator like one in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, achieving such a level of cultivation speed was impossible, as it defied all principles of cultivation.

“How… how did you do it?” The martial hall’s leader didn’t deny it. In Despair City, there were rules, and denial was futile.

“Do you have the complete manual?” Chen Fei asked again. This time, there was no grating laughter, only the suppressed unwillingness and disbelief from the martial hall’s leader.

“N… no!”

The martial hall’s leader suddenly hunched over, truly hunched over. Countless strands of energy radiated from him and fell into Chen Fei’s basket, transforming into several hundred pieces of currency.

Initially, the martial hall’s leader had a frightening appearance, despite being emaciated, and his aura was terrifying. But now, with his energy dissipating, he seemed as if he could disintegrate into nothingness at any moment.

“I still want to learn other techniques!” Chen Fei stared at the martial hall’s leader.

The martial hall’s leader looked at Chen Fei in disbelief. Was he planning to wipe them all out?

As they locked eyes, Chen Fei did indeed have the opportunity to eliminate them all. Anyone who dared to covet his longevity would not escape his clutches without being drained of their essence.

“Bang!”

As soon as the martial hall’s leader finished speaking, his entire body suddenly exploded, and not only him, but the other martial hall disciples who had been unharmed just moments ago also dispersed, leaving behind a large portion of their essence.

Hundreds more pieces of currency fell into Chen Fei’s basket.

After a while, the martial hall’s leader, who had exploded, began to reform. His aura was even weaker than before.

“I still want…”

“Don’t say it anymore, 1 beg you not to say it again. If you have any requests, just tell me directly!” The martial hall’s leader shouted loudly.

Bound by the rules, a martial hall had to teach any martial arts technique to anyone who could afford the tuition fees. They could teach any technique, but they had to teach something; failure to do so would result in punishment.

However, the martial hall’s leader dared not teach Chen Fei anymore. The impossible-to-learn Slaughter Spirit Technique had been comprehended by Chen Fei with a single strike. Other techniques, no matter how difficult, couldn’t compare to the Slaughter Spirit Technique for Chen Fei.

“I want to take that rat demon with me!”

“Alright, you can take it!”

The martial hall’s leader nodded frantically, waving his hand, and the rat demon appeared by Chen Fei’s feet, barely clinging to life.

“Please heal it!” Chen Fei continued.

“Of course!”

The martial hall’s leader crushed his own arm, releasing the scattered energy into the rat demon’s body. The rat demon, which was on the brink of death, rapidly recovered, thanks to its own essence.

“Is it enough?” Chen Fei asked.

The martial hall’s leader kept his head lowered, as if afraid to meet Chen Fei’s gaze. However, the eyes beneath his hair were filled with resentment, as if he wished to tear Chen Fei apart.

“How can 1 leave this city?” Chen Fei asked, posing the most crucial question. Even though Chen Fei hadn’t encountered any danger here, he needed to find an escape route for himself.

If he were to face danger, he had to have a way to leave.

“I can’t tell you that!” The martial hall’s leader’s face changed drastically, shaking his head frantically.

“Why can’t you tell me?” Chen Fei furrowed his brow.

“Because I’ll die!” The martial hall’s leader whispered.

“Even if you will die, you still have to say it!” Chen Fei stared at the martial hall’s leader and said firmly, “Once you tell me this, I will leave immediately!”

The martial hall’s leader’s mouth trembled, his eyes locked onto Chen Fei. He understood that this was Chen Fei’s limit. If he didn’t tell, Chen Fei would continue learning martial arts and completely absorb him.

If he revealed the answer to Chen Fei, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

The martial hall’s leader’s trembling right hand pointed in a certain direction.

“Buzz!”

The entire martial hall shook violently, and the martial hall’s leader let out a shrill scream, as if he had been erased, disappearing in an instant. Not only the leader but also the other students began to vanish one by one.

The entire martial hall crumbled and fell into ruin at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, all that remained were broken walls and debris.

As Chen Fei gazed around, it seemed as if this place had decayed for decades. Only in one corner, a new patch of grass slowly grew, emanating an aura identical to that of the martial hall’s leader.

Chen Fei approached and stomped on it..
