"Invisible Sword Energy" ranks as the highest martial arts technique which a Mortal Realm martial artist can obtain, making it part of the highest martial arts that can be cultivated in the Acquired Realm, and it's infinitely close to the Innate Level.
So far, despite the long-lasting World Mutation, no martial artist is known to have ever practiced "Invisible Sword Energy".
That is why as soon as Wang Tong and Lei Jiang heard about "Invisible Sword Energy", they became so excited that they even forgot about their own injuries.
The "Invisible Sword Energy" is too strong, too rare, and too important.
After all, for martial artists at the current realm, it represents the highest level martial arts secret.
Let alone them, once the news of the appearance of the secret to "Invisible Sword Energy" is released, all the martial artists in the world would be stunned.
"Okay, don't be such losers. It's just "Invisible Sword Energy". There's no need to fuss over it."
Zhao Yan glanced at Wang Tong and Lei Jiang dismissively.
"Zhao Yan, it's "Invisible Sword Energy"! The martial arts secret I've been dreaming of."
Wang Tong was still visibly excited, too much so that he broke out in profanities, "I don't care, let me have a look at it. Just let me see the secret manual first."
"I warn you. If you seize the opportunity to train, don't blame us for retaliating against you!"
Zhao Yan cast a wary eye at Wang Tong.
Seeing him in such a state of excitement, she couldn't help suspecting that he might take advantage of the situation and utilize the "Invisible Sword Energy" once he gets it.
"Cough, cough! How could I do that?"
Wang Tong's face turned red, replying awkwardly.
If Zhao Yan didn't say anything, he was indeed contemplating just that.
"I'll keep an eye on him."
Lei Jiang gave Wang Tong a distrustful look, glaring at him.
Both he and Wang Tong are martial artists roughly on the same level, making them the biggest competitors for the "Invisible Sword Energy".
Posturing against each other, they understand that it's absolutely impossible for the other one to give up "Invisible Sword Energy".
Lei Jiang was also worried that Wang Tong might seize the opportunity to learn "Invisible Sword Energy" as soon as he gets it.
They were comrades, and if Wang Tong really learned it behind his back, he couldn't really do anything to him and would have to accept the fact bitterly.
"Do whatever you want, this secret manual will only be contested for by the two of you anyway. No one else will need it."
Zhao Yan said and handed over one of the manuals to Wang Tong.
Seeing "Invisible Sword Energy" written on the cover of the secret manual, the eyes of Wang Tong and Lei Jiang packed with intensity.
Both of them reached out together to grab for "Invisible Sword Energy".
In the end, they each held one side of the "Invisible Sword Energy", eyeing each other intensively but no one was willing to let go.
"Look, if you tear the secret manual, both of you won't be able to learn from it."
Seeing their despicable behavior, Zhao Yan couldn't help but warn them.
These two were too pathetic, getting so excited over a single "Invisible Sword Energy".
"Cough, cough! Lei Jiang, why don't you let me take a look at it first?"
Wang Tong tried to negotiate with Lei Jiang, hoping he would loosen his grip and let him have a look first.
Lei Jiang would never agree. What he was most worried about was Wang Tong learning "Invisible Sword Energy" before him, "No can do. We study it together, what if you learn from it first?"
A bitter smile crossed Wang Tong's face, "You think I'm that tactless?"
"Yes!"
Lei Jiang gave no face.
No matter what Wang Tong said, Lei Jiang refused to let go. In the end, in frustration, they both began to read "Invisible Sword Energy" together.
"Zhao Yan, calculate how many total points we have."
Xiao Mu said.
Zhao Yan said, "The energy fruit, each counts as a hundred points, for two martial arts books, 'Invisible Sword Energy' is a top-notch martial arts book, so it should be counted as two hundred points, right? As for the 'Variant Transformation Technique', since it's for my use, I can't properly estimate its value. Mr. Mu, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu began to think.
Martial arts books are also divided into different levels.
According to Xiao Mu's system, they are divided into four categories: top-grade, high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade.
The highest level martial arts books - top-notch energy fruits, top-notch Taoist Canons, top-notch Buddhist works, are all calculated as two hundred points.
This category includes "Invisible Sword Energy", "True Word Incantation", and even the full version of "Xuanmen Zhenggang".
The high-grade include "Yi Jin Jing", "Nine Yang Skill", and the likes, estimated around 150-180 points.
Next comes the middle-grade, including "Huashan Swordsmanship", "Demon Subduing Fist" and similar works, rated around 100-150 points.
As for low-grade books, it includes martial arts like "Iron Sand Palm", "Iron Cloth Shirt", etc. Since their tier is lower, their value in points is also low, typically between 20-80 points. There are even worse ones that are valued at ten points, but it's assumed that few people would be willing to practice them.
Besides, there are various treasures, each with its own classification method, Xiao Mu and the others just haven't obtained any just yet.
Books related to special abilities are rare, but they do exist, mainly about how to use these special abilities.
Xiao Mu took the "Variant Transformation Technique", observed it carefully for a while.
The so-called "Variant Transformation Technique" is quite straightforward. It is suitable not only for Zhao Yan's electricity special ability but also for fire, water, ice abilities, and the like.
Simply put, using Zhao Yan as an example, the "Variant Transformation Technique" allows her to transform her lightning ability into various weapons and objects, like a lightning blade or a lightning spear, greatly enhancing the power of her electricity ability.
"This book should not be considered top-notch. Let's calculate it as 160 points."
After pondering for a while, Xiao Mu said.
"Alright, then count it as 160, three energy fruits is three hundred, adding 'Invisible Sword Energy's two hundred, we have a total of 660 points."
Zhao Yan did the math, continuing, "Including Mr.Qin, we are nine people..."
Qin Huaiyi interrupted Zhao Yan, "Miss Zhao, Mr. Mu, I was just luckily there. Since Mr. Mu saved me, helping is just the right thing to do. How about we not divide the spoils?"
Zhao Yan replied sternly, "Mr. Qin, don't be so modest. We must divide the spoils according to the rules. Since Mr. Qn participated in the battle, you are entitled to the spoils."
"But how could I..."
Qin Huaiyi seeing Zhao Yan's serious face and hearing Xiao Mu's agreement, stopped his protest.
"This is what Mr. Qin deserves."
Zhao Yan replied and continued, "Mr. Mu, Ghost Servant, Ancestor Xu, Mr. Qin, and myself are all in the mid-term of the third level, each with 2, and Wang Tong, Lei Jiang are in the early period of the same level, each with 1.3. Gang Shou and Ah Qing, you are in the later period of the second level, each with 0.6."
"The total points are 660, distributed according to everyone's contribution, Mr. Mu, Ghost Servant, Ancestor Xu, and Mr. Qin, and me, each gets around 95.6 points, round it off, each gets 95 points. Wang Tong and Lei Jiang get 62.2 points each, round up, each gets 62 points. Gang Shou and Ah Qing, you each get 28 points."
"Counting everyone's accumulated points, Mr. Mu owes the Guild 370 points, I owe 155 points, Ancestor Xu..."
Zhao Yan listed everyone's points, then said, "Next, is the distribution of the spoils. Everyone uses their points to purchase. If two people want the same item, they can play rock-paper-scissors or flip a coin to see who wins and gets to buy."
After saying this, Zhao Yan looked specifically at Wang Tong and Lei Jiang.
Currently, these two are mainly competing for "Invisible Sword Energy". The rest should be easy to split.
