After Yang Wu joined the team, the Phantom Team celebrated with a big meal at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters restaurant.
After the meal, Chu Tian led Lu Yuan and the others to a lounge to chat.
"Yang Wu!" Chu Tian asked with a smile, "Our team plans to go to the wilderness to hunt monsters in ten days. Have you got your weapons and equipment yet?"
"Not yet!" Yang Wu replied helplessly, "Captain, I want to buy a better set of weapons and equipment, but I just became a martial artist and don't have any contribution points yet. Buying it all at once would be too expensive. I was just about to ask Uncle Wu for help, but I didn't expect him to bring me here!"
"That's easy!" Zhou Zheng patted Yang Wu's shoulder and said with a smile, "My contribution points have reached three stars now. Give me the list of the equipment you need, and I can buy it for you at half price. You can pay me back later! However, you'll have to buy the manual yourself; no one can help you with that!"
"I understand, thank you, Brother Zhou!"
Yang Wu nodded.
In the future, it would be inappropriate for everyone in the team to call each other "uncle" and "brother," so Yang Wu changed how he addressed Zhou Zheng, and no one paid much attention.
Yang Wu had already selected the relevant equipment and sent it to Zhou Zheng via his phone.
The uniform 6-series equipment, a full set of combat uniforms, cost 80 million, but was discounted to 40 million at half price. The Po Jun series long spear, A6 grade, cost 20 million at full price, but was discounted to 10 million at half price. These two items alone had already used up all the start-up funds that the Extreme Martial Arts Academy had given Yang Wu. Fortunately, Yang Wu had some savings, and the prices of small tools such as backpacks and communication watches were relatively affordable, so he could buy them as well.
Seeing Yang Wu's purchase order, the group was slightly surprised.
They were clearly unaware that Zhuge Tao had increased Yang Wu's start-up capital.
"I didn't expect Yang Wu to be such a small tycoon!" Zheng Tao said with a smile.
In fact, 50 million Chinese yuan was insignificant to the members of the Phantom Squad. However, for Yang Wu, a newcomer who had just become a martial artist, it was a huge sum of money. Even though Yang Wu possessed the strength of a warrior general, he had never hunted a monster, so naturally he had no monster materials to sell.
"Alright!" Seeing that things were arranged properly, Chu Tian smiled at Yang Wu and said, "Yang Wu, after the equipment arrives, you should familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible and try to get used to it before entering the wilderness area!"
"Captain, I understand!" Yang Wu nodded slightly.
Martial artists usually use the most suitable equipment, and after changing to new equipment, due to the difference in weight and materials, it is inevitable that it will take some time to adapt.
The group chatted for a while longer, until around 2 PM, when Yang Wu and Wu Tong finally returned to Yangzhou City.
...
In the training hall on the second floor of Villa No. 201 in Mingyue Residential Area,
Yang Wu sat cross-legged on the ground, a thick manual in front of him—the first level of the ultimate spear technique, "World Annihilation."
Opening the first page of the "World Annihilation" spear technique, Yang Wu immediately saw a spear light approaching, its chilling aura annihilating all things, sending shivers down his spine.
"So powerful!" Yang Wu exclaimed inwardly.
Just a photocopied page was enough to make him, a warrior-level martial artist, tremble with fear; Hong truly deserved his title as the world's strongest expert who had comprehended a domain.
After the initial shock, Yang Wu continued reading.
"The fundamental essence of my 'World Annihilation' spear technique lies in stillness and movement."
"As the ancient saying goes, 'Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit.'"
"Stillness is for a better explosion; when still, all is well; when moving, all is done. One spear thrust, and heaven and earth tremble, nothing is left undestroyed."
After finishing the first page, Yang Wu turned to the second.
"Calming down allows you to use stillness to control movement, better observe the enemy's weaknesses, and find their vulnerabilities."

"When you move, it's a full-force attack, leaving your enemy completely defenseless."
"My 'World Annihilation' spear technique incorporates a unique domain, and once you grasp its essence, you'll be invincible among your peers!"
"The 'World Annihilation' manual contains a complete movement technique called 'Shadow,' a complete set of top-tier guiding techniques called 'Radiant Seven Stars,' and a complete spear technique called 'World Annihilation.'"
"The guiding techniques will grant you a stronger physique, while the spear and movement techniques will give you more advanced skills."
"Only through continuous practice and astonishing comprehension can you grasp the true essence of the 'World Annihilation' spear technique."
Although the manual contained much information, Yang Wu's spear and movement techniques were already quite accomplished, and most guiding techniques were used in conjunction with cultivating genetic energy. Therefore, Yang Wu focused more on the power generation techniques within the 'World Annihilation' spear technique.
Yang Wu quickly flipped to the section on power generation recorded in the manual. After reading the power generation techniques recorded in the first level of the manual, Yang Wu finally understood the difference between a top-tier manual and an ordinary one. Perhaps this "World Annihilation Manual" was nothing special in the vast universe.
However , compared to the "Blazing Spear Technique" that Yang Wu had learned in the simulator, "World Annihilation" was incredibly refined. The first level of "World Annihilation" alone, once mastered, would grant him twice the power generation techniques. The second level would grant him three times the power generation ... and the fifth level would grant him six times the power generation. As for the sixth level of the manual, it didn't improve power generation techniques. It was said that only Hong in the world had mastered the sixth level of "World Annihilation." "Perhaps the sixth level involves the secrets of a domain!" Yang Wu thought to himself. Hong had clearly stated in "World Annihilation" that it incorporated his own domain; the reason the sixth level of the "World Annihilation" spear technique was so difficult to master was most likely due to the domain. "Never mind, the realm is still quite far away for me. I'd better master the power generation techniques of the first level first." Yang Wu practiced the spear techniques of the first level of "World Annihilation" in the training hall, using his arm as a spear and constantly thrusting. The first level of "World Annihilation" contains thirteen spear techniques. According to the manual, these thirteen techniques are helpful for understanding the power generation techniques of the first level of "World Annihilation". Yang Wu was so engrossed in his practice that he completely forgot about time until his mother, Liu Yuhua, called him for dinner. After putting the manual back in his bedroom, Yang Wu went downstairs. He saw his parents already sitting at the table, but he didn't see his younger brother, Yang Fan. "Dad, Mom, where's Xiao Fan?" Yang Wu asked in confusion. "It's almost dinner time, why isn't he back yet?" It was still summer vacation, and students didn't have to go to school. Yang Fan usually stayed home doing homework or cultivating. "Xiao Fan went to his classmate's house. He just called and won't be back until later," his father, Yang Yuande, said. "Never mind him, let's eat first!" Liu Yuhua stood up and served Yang Wu a bowl of rice.
