Chapter 406 - Secret Battle Technique

Chapter 406 Secret Battle Technique

The man was panicked. He had no doubt that Han Fei would kill this Man-Fish. Having met too many talented young men, he knew that he couldn’t fool them with a few words.

“I have a battle technique that’s of a high level. That’s the reason why I survived.”

Han Fei smiled casually. “Oh? Can you still use it?”

“Yes.”

Tilting his head, Han Fei stepped back and said, “Then show me.”

“I can’t! My battle technique requires tremendous spiritual energy, which I’m running out of. Does this Man-Fish look energetic to you?”.

Han Fei raised his finger, and a pillar of spiritual energy was instilled into the man-fish. Then, he threw a random fish over and said, “Show me it now.”

“You are a spirit gatherer?” The man was lost for words. Aren’t you supposed to be a soul warrior?

Han Fei said, “I’ll give you twenty seconds to finish the fish. If you can’t show it to me after that, I’ll kill you.”

Han Fei gazed at the Man-Fish curiously.

He believed that, even if reincarnation techniques existed in this world, the man here couldn’t possibly have it, because the level-three fishery was too lowly compared to the infinite ocean. If such remarkable techniques were shown here, it would only mean that whoever possessed the Man-Fish used to be a great expert.

The Man-Fish gobbled up the food. A moment later, it suddenly opened its eyes, with a bright blue sheen emanating from its body.

In the next moment, the Man-Fish began to expand, and its muscles were rising, indicating its increasing power.

“Huh? Is this an explosive secret technique? What’s the side effect after you use it?”

Han Fei saw that the Man-Fish rose from level 40 to level 45, and that it was still climbing “Heh. You gave me spiritual energy? You’re asking to be killed.”

“Hum...”

A shadow burst out from the Man-Fish’s eyes. It seemed to be mental power, but it also seemed to be something a level higher than mental power.

Waving the Needle, Han Fei smashed the shadow. Immediately, he felt a blast on his mind, but it didn’t hurt him. He simply retreated his mental senses and defended his mind.

“Pu...”

Blood oozed out of Han Fei’s nose and ears, and he had a strong headache.

He was quite surprised at the mental shock.

That was not right. He didn’t give much spiritual energy, and a fish did not contain much nutrition. How could this man have become so strong?

After three heavy smashes, Han Fei discovered, to his amazement, that he failed to break the thing.

“Huh? This is a high-level secret technique.”

Han Fei had his own secret techniques, including Fury. But it was too deeply flawed. He tried deducing it but it wasn’t very helpful, so he gave it up.

Back in the Thug Academy, he came across similar techniques. However, those secret techniques all had strong side effects, and the more advanced they were, the greater the side effects would be. It was also why Han Fei never deduced the secret techniques like Fury.

Now, the only thing that Han Fei was curious about was the side effects of this technique after the man showed it to him.

Han Fei had been curious about it before. A level-40 Man-Fish could’ve been killed by any random peak-level Dangling Fisher, and it shouldn’t have survived so long.

Now, Han Fei finally realized that the man’s secret technique was rather powerful, and he might be defeated if the man was not shackled.

“Fish Sorrow Stab!”

Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!

Han Fei saw hundreds of stings being darted at him fast and ferociously.

Instantly, Han Fei pulled all the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers back and hid behind them.

After a while of clinking sounds, Han Fei looked at the dozens of fish stings that pierced half a inch into his body in surprise. “It’s quite good. I’m actually hurt.”

Han Fei was very surprised. Even a peak-level Dangling Fisher might not be able to hurt him with regular attacks, but this crippled Man-Fish had wounded him?

The Man-Fish was stunned, as if it had just swallowed a smelly crab. It looked at Han Fei in shock. “You... How is it possible? How could an intermediate Dangling Fisher have resisted the Fish Sorrow Stab?”

“Hum...”

Han Fei unleashed his spiritual energy and knocked away all the stingers. Then he asked, “What else have you got?”

As he spoke, Han Fei stabbed the Needle, sticking it to a weapon that looked like a harpoon.

BAM!

Han Fei was blown a dozen steps back, and the harpoon was broken due to its poor quality.

Han Fei waved his hand. “Very strong. It’s even more powerful than a fully-blown attack from a peak-level Dangling Fisher. Is this the effect of your secret technique?”

Han Fei glanced at the Man-Fish with great interest. “Anything else? Your body must be sturdier than before now that you’re both mentally and physically stronger, right?”

“Don’t...”

While the man-fish cried in fear, Han Fei drew out the Blood Drinking Knife and cut. The intense saber aura instantly passed the man-fish’s body.

“Puchi...”

As he expected, though the Man-Fish was fortified, it failed to block his Drawing Art. But to Han Fei’s surprise, the man-fish was not killed. Its chest had been cut open, but it was not chopped into halves.

“Huh? You’re sturdier than a peak-level Dangling Fisher too, but not by too much. Is it because this Man-Fish was too weak in the first place?”

Han Fei nodded. “It’s very possible. After all, this thing is neither a fish nor a man. But it’s already impressive that you can take one attack from me.”

The man was almost crying. I used my secret technique! How could I have failed to defeat an intermediate Dangling Fisher? Even a peak-level Dangling Fisher would’ve been killed!

Han Fei asked, “How long will the secret technique last?”

Seeing that the man was silent, Han Fei threatened him. “I’ll cut you again if you don’t talk. Let’s see if you can resist it again.”

Heaving a sigh, the man said, “Twenty seconds. The energy that I just acquired can only support that long.”

Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “That’s long enough. What’s the consequences? Are there any consequences?” Han Fei was more interested in this secret technique than the art of reincarnation. He would take it as long as it did not have great side effects.

The man seemed to have given up resistance. He said, “The side effect is that you have to eat food and replenish your energy. It’s very hard.”

However, Han Fei was overjoyed when he heard that the side effect was that he must have food. “Wait, the side effect is the need for food? Not exhaustion, meltdown, etc.?”

The Man-Fish lowered its head. “That’s the side effects of regular secret techniques. Actually, all secret techniques are supported by nutrition. But some people confuse nutrition with energy. The secret techniques they create are naturally flawed.”

Han Fei was quite happy. There might be people he couldn’t defeat in a fight, but he could never fail an eating contest.

He immediately asked, “Give the art of reincarnation and the secret technique to me, and I will spare you.”

“Why should I believe you?”

Han Fei said with a smile, “There’s nothing you can do anyone. I don’t have to kill you. Even if I set you free, do you dare to go out? Do you know how many peak-level Dangling Fishers are out there? I’ll wager that you will be caught before you reach the outer city with your current look.”

A moment later, when the duration of the secret technique was over, the man controlled an Undead Merman to walk to him and he disgustingly swallowed the Undead Merman alive.

“Ew!”

Han Fei cursed, “Can you be more disgusting?” The man said with a miserable smile, “You will not find this disgusting anymore when you’re starving.”

Han Fei snorted and slashed his saber on the chains. However, while sparks splashed out, the chains remained intact.

“Huh?”

The man sighed, “If the chains could be cut so easily, I wouldn’t have been trapped for such a long time.”

Han Fei ran to the chains and examined them carefully, only to see nothing but a shallow mark on them. They were truly hard.

Han Fei said, “Give me the secret technique and the art of reincarnation first. Then I’ll save you.”

The man was silent for a moment. “Do I look like an idiot? Why would you save me after I give them to you?”

Han Fei said solemnly, “You’re not an idiot. I’ll definitely save you, because those chains are more valuable than you.”

III

The man would’ve fought Han Fei again if he weren’t chained. What are you talking about? I’m not as valuable as a few chains?

Han Fei took out a saw and unattached the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp. Then he said, “Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, time to work. Let’s cut the chains off. They’re as good as ultra-quality spiritual weapons.”

In the meantime, Han Fei looked at the Man-Fish. “Give the secret technique and the art of reincarnation to me first, or I can kill you and tear down this prison cell. That would be easier for me to get the chains.”

The man considered for a moment and decided that he could give the techniques first. He had other things to tempt Han Fei after he was unchained, and he was sure that such a greedy man wouldn’t turn them down.Eventually, Han Fei got what he wanted.

Han Fei chuckled for a moment. Then, his Blood Drinking Knife suddenly glittered. Dumbfounded, the Man-Fish roared, “Don’t! I still have...”

“I don’t care what else you have.”

He slashed the knife, and the Man-Fish, without the enhancement of the secret technique, was cut into halves.

The man died a confusing death. Didn’t he agree to spare me? If I offered the art of reincarnation and such a technique, how can I not have better things? Are you an idiot?

Looking at the body of the Man-Fish, Han Fei slightly shook his head. “I wouldn’t have killed you if you were slightly better-looking and hadn’t eaten so many people. Look at all the bones here. You think I would really set you free? What’s wrong with you?”

The Hexagon Starfish remarked, “I feel that he has more treasures.”

Han Fei grinned, “I know, but I don’t care. He must’ve been a sophisticated man who lived too many years. I may be killed because of his tricks later. So, it’s enough that I have the secret technique.”
