Chapter 175 - No One Wanted the Secret Manual

Chapter 175: No One Wanted the Secret Manual

In a certain city, Li Mu appeared in a restaurant as a handsome young man.

The hottest topic of discussion in the restaurant was still related to Li Mu.

“Nowadays, there are people pretending to be Li Mu selling manuals everywhere. Now when I see such a person, I want to go up and kill him.”

“Looks like brother has been cheated of quite a lot of money?”

“Much more than a lot, I’m almost going to go bankrupt.”

“Haha ~”

Instantly, the restaurant roared with laughter.

In the corner, Li Mu also pursed his lips to sip a mouthful of wine.

He almost burst out laughing.

In these two months, the people pretending to be him were each more capable than the other. They seemed more and more authentic.

However, in the end, they all just sold manuals.

There were even people who didn’t directly claim that they were “Li Mu”.

Hiding and skulking, they always spoke in incomplete sentences. After being conceived in others’ imagination, the pretenders would come looking for them, and only then did they propose a bargain after being threatened.

Ultimately, those manuals were abstruse gibberish.

After they discerned that it was fake, the swindler that deceived them had already run off to God knows where.

“I heard that Li Mu appeared in Maoming City.”

“It’s definitely fake!”

The warriors in the restaurant immediately concluded without demur.

Li Mu was speechless.

It was indeed him who swaggered through Maoming City.

He walked from the East of the city to the West of the city with ease.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he announced that he was Li Mu and strutted away.

There were no obstructions along the way.

At that time, Li Mu was still wondering why no one came forward to ask about him.

Now it seemed that there was something wrong with the way the real Li Mu made his appearance, which caused people to think of him as a fraud.

Moreover, he had the least resemblance among all imposters.

Damn it.

Bam!

Li Mu threw the cup in his hand away.

Swoosh~

Everyone in the restaurant turned to look at him after hearing the commotion.

“I am Li Mu!”

Li Mu looked around and shouted loudly.

“Another drunkard pretending to be Li Mu.”

“Little brother, if you really are drunk, go out and sober up. Don’t get slashed by my blade.”

The martial artist who had been deceived earlier stood up and stared coldly at Li Mu.

He had just said that if he met someone pretending to be Li Mu again, he would not be able to resist giving the imposter a blow.

Wasn’t this what he was talking about? Just as he finished his sentence, there came another one openly provoking him.

“I really am Li Mu!” Li Mu said seriously.

“Do you want to die?”

“I don’t sell anything. I don’t sell manuals. I don’t sell treasures. Don’t you believe me?”

Li Mu was helpless.

Why did no one believe him?

“Another one who desires fame over his own life. Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish!”

That Perfected warrior drew his sword and charged at Li Mu.

One could imagine the lethality of a Perfected warrior’s attack.

Nevertheless, no matter how fast he was, he was still as slow as a sloth in Li Mu’s eyes.

Boom!

Li Mu flicked his finger lightly, and the long sword that landed towards him was split into two.

“You… Virtual Realm?”

“Oh? A Virtual Realm expert has come to pretend to be Li Mu.”

“No matter what, it’s impossible for Li Mu to be a Virtual Realm expert. The number of Virtual Realm experts in the Human Clan can be counted with one hand. There can’t be two Virtual Realm experts in the Human Clan with the Li surname.”

Whoosh!

Everyone stared at Li Mu.

Virtual Realm experts were the pillars of a second-class force in Fenglan. They oversaw the third-class force.

Even such an expert had come to impersonate Li Mu.

There was a wave of shock.

Following that, the disbelief in everyone’s gaze grew even more intense.

Everyone had already deduced that Li Mu’s Cultivation Achievement was at most the level of a Perfected Person.

Therefore, the experts who impersonated Li Mu were basically at the pinnacle of the Perfected People, those who could easily run and fight after being discovered as an imposter.

“Is Li Mu’s reputation that attractive?”

“Which Virtual Realm expert in the Human Clan is making such a joke?”

Li Mu was speechless.

How should he indicate that he was indeed himself?

There was no identity card in this world.

All the important ways of proving one’s identity had been used by the fake Li Mus.

The impersonators seemed to be much more convincing than him, the real one.

What should he do?

Describe the situation in the Land of Demon Slayers?

The fake Li Mus had long stopped using this method.

Li Mu thought for a bit. The methods of the Demon Clan on the sixty-second floor were more acceptable to the majority, so he opened his mouth and said. “I have a book of methods here…”

“Again! Didn’t you just say that you don’t sell methods?”

“Do you really want to die?”

“Everyone, I’m not selling methods, I’m giving them away!”

“Tch! I don’t know which clan created these methods, but after everyone learns these methods, we will become someone else’s furnace for sure.”

Some pressed their lips together, as if they had seen through Li Mu’s plan.

The other orcs and warriors all nodded in realization.

“Forget it. Since you all don’t believe it, then it’s your loss.”

Li Mu’s figure disappeared and reappeared in the sky above the city. Thousands of thick method technique books materialized in Li Mu’s hands.

His divine consciousness swept over Maoming City and declared loudly,

“Today, I, Li Mu, will gift the methods inside the sixty-eighth level of the Demon Smelt Tower to everyone. All fated ones will be able to learn them.”

After saying this, he threw down the methods in his hands.

In the city, many warriors were stunned when they heard this.

Then, they caught on.

“It’s another fake Li Mu. He even gave away a book of methods. Only a fool would pick it up.”

The warrior who heard the voice raised his head and looked up at the sky, then turned around and returned to his room.

Thousands of books fell down and smashed into various places in the city.

Most of them landed on the roofs of houses or in courtyards, while a small part of them landed on the streets.

“I can use this thing to wipe my ass!”

A shopkeeper picked up a manual on the street and placed it in the latrine.

A beggar on the street picked up the manual and flipped through it, but he couldn’t read it and kept it in his pocket.

In a slum, a young boy climbed up onto the roof and took down the manual.

In a courtyard, a manual landed in front of a disabled adolescent who was sitting in a wheelchair, lifting a cloud of dust.

The adolescent bent down with all his might, and only after a long time did he pick up the manual on the ground.

After opening it to take a look, he carefully kept it in his pocket.

Li Mu’s divine consciousness gazed at the city for a long time. Out of the thousands of manuals, only a very small number of people had obtained them.

Only two or three people took them seriously.

Most people didn’t even have the will to take a look.

These two or three people were at the bottom of the social class who wouldn’t have had the chance to obtain methods in the first place.

What was worse was that these few people also didn’t have the qualifications to practice the methods. They were illiterate, had poor aptitude, and didn’t have the resources.

Li Mu sighed!

“Let’s continue in another place! I don’t think that every single person will choose to abandon these manuals.”

In the sky above a certain city, Li Mu gave a perfunctory glance and simply landed upon the slums.

After throwing down a bunch of manuals, Li Mu sped towards the next city.

In the end, the results weren’t even as good as Maoming City.

When they heard that it was a manual thrown down by Li Mu, not only did no one believe it, they even picked it up and burned it.

Only then did Li Mu recall that there seemed to be a fake Li Mu selling manuals in this city last time.

“This won’t do! Nobody believes that I’m Li Mu.”

Inside the wolf orc territory, several wolf orc elders were silent.

The news was too shocking.

“It has been confirmed that the Canine Clan are shrinking their territory. A few important elders in the clan have not appeared in the past few days. It seems that the news that the death of the Canine Clan’s True Realm in Wuxin City is true.”

“The Canine Clan doesn’t admit it, and our spies can’t get any insider information about them.”

“Humph! Do they dare admit it?”

“The news of the death of Canine Clan’s True Realm has spread all over the outside world. Not only do they not admit it, they are also shrinking their territory. There’s no need to discuss whether the news is true or not. It has already been proven.”

After a moment of silence, a wolf orc elder asked, “Then, are we still going to capture Li Mu?”

“I’m not willing to let go of what’s on my platter!”

“Why don’t we discuss it with the Fox Clan?”
