Andrew frowned. “If it wasn’t me, could it be you?”
Howard hurriedly shook his head.
“That’s not what I meant.”
For a long time, Howard remained silent.
Andrew opened his phone to check the balance of his bank account. He now had more than 60 billion.
This was already a very shocking number.
But with Andrew’s current strength and status, money was only a number to him.
Actually, under normal circumstances, martial artists spent a lot of money to practice martial arts.
If one wanted to buy weapons, they need money to buy them, right?
If this equipment was damaged, they need to spend money to repair it.
They needed to buy some medicine to strengthen the qi and to train the body.
If they were seriously injured after hunting demon beasts, they would need to spend money to treat it.
Even for a peak grandmaster, it was not easy to spend ten billion in one go.
However, Andrew didn’t need any of this.
The only reason he spent the money was to buy a house and a meal.
He didn’t even know where to spend the rest of the money.
After the 30 billion arrived, the system’s notification sounded.
“Congratulations on obtaining 30,000 strengthening points!”
When Andrew heard this, he was dumbfounded.
The system was too much!
Normally, 30 billion USD should be equivalent to 3,000,000 strengthening points.
But now, the system only gave him 1%.
The other 99% had been confiscated by the system.
But after thinking about it, it seemed very normal for the system to restrict him like this.
Recently, he needed 10,000 strengthening points to buy the sword intent grass, and he could sell it for 30 billion. If there was no restriction, then this would be 3,000,000 strengthening points.
With a profit of 300 times, wouldn’t Andrew be extremely rich?
After the system’s restrictions, he could still earn money from buying and selling the sword intent grass. However, he could only earn 30,000 strengthening points each time he sold it. This made Andrew feel a little dissatisfied.
Andrew thought for a moment and felt that raising the price was a good idea.
As long as he raised the price from 30 billion to 50 billion, then he could earn 40,000 strengthening points. This would double his strengthening points.
Moreover, even if he spent 50 billion to buy the sword intent grass, Andrew felt that it was worth it.
Seeing that Andrew did not speak for such a long time, Howard asked in a low voice with some fear, “Master Thunderblade, is there a problem?”
“Change the selling price of the sword intent grass to 50 billion dollars.”
Howard’s expression immediately changed.
“But I only have 30 billion dollars, and this is what I borrowed money to get. If it’s 50 billion dollars, I really can’t get it.”
Andrew waved his hand. He was a man of his word.
“Your transaction has been successful, so it’s naturally 30 billion US dollars. I’m just saying that the price of the sword intent grass will be raised in the future.
“Help me modify it on the fighter forum. The price will be set at 50 billion US dollars each. Later, we’ll go to a place near the arena. You refine the sword intent grass, and I’ll stand on guard for you.”
Arena?
Howard thought for a moment and quickly understood Andrew’s meaning.
If this grass had to be sold, then he had to raise his reputation.
If the sword intent grass really had a good effect, where could he quickly let more people see it? Of course, it was the martial arts conference venue.
Thousands or even tens of thousands of fighters were gathered here. If they could witness the changes after Howard took the sword intent grass in person, this was better than any advertisement.
He immediately took out his phone and logged into the backend of the Warrior Forum. He edited the post that Andrew had previously posted.
Then, the two of them immediately went to the stadium of the martial arts competition.
Just as they walked to the entrance of the arena, a few ambulances drove over from the side.
They were transporting the descendants from various Holy Lands.
Andrew looked at them with disdain.
“I didn’t hurt them too badly. Do you still need to go to the hospital with such minor injuries?”
“I was almost killed by the explosion when I was fighting with the Anaconda King. Didn’t I survive it on my own?”
While Andrew was talking to himself, Howard’s pupils shook.
But he didn’t dare to reply.
At this time, Clayton flew to the sky above the stadium and waved his right hand.
The arena that had been shattered by Andrew disappeared in an instant. This place had become an empty space that was three hundred meters wide.
“The National Martial Arts Conference will continue now,” Clayton said in a low voice.
“Wait!”
Andrew shouted loudly, attracting everyone’s attention.
“Chief, before the competition continues, can you lend me the arena for a moment?”
The expressions of the Ultimate experts of the Holy Lands all changed.
Previously, it was on this arena that all sixty disciples of the Holy Lands had fallen. What else did this kid want to do?
Even Clayton’s expression didn’t look too good.
“Andrew, what are you doing?
“How many times have I told you to keep a low profile? Don’t be rash!
“It isn’t even your turn yet, and you’ve already defeated all the disciples of the Holy Lands!
“Don’t tell me you want to beat up the elders of the Holy Lands as well?”
Alonso’s expression turned ugly when he heard this.
If Andrew had really killed the Anaconda King and the Snow Leopard King, it meant that his strength had already reached a terrifying level.
Other than him, none of their group from the Ultimates of the Holy Lands could be considered very strong.
The strongest one was the member of the Dupont family.
He had a two-thousand-meters dao shadow.
But he had been defeated by Andrew with one punch.
Alonso himself had a shadow of six thousand meters.
The weakest only had a seven-hundred-meters of dao shadow.
If they really fought, they might not be Andrew’s match.
The successor of the Holy Lands had been wiped out by an eighteen-year-old youth, which was reasonable. After all, this youth was not an ordinary person.
But if they were all defeated…
That would be a bit unjustifiable.
Would the Holy Lands still want to go out in the future?
Chapter 165 - Selling!
“Young Master, don’t let him beat us up. Before I came out, your father had said that no matter what the outcome of this martial arts competition is, the Red Rock Canyon’s training grounds will always be open to external martial artists!”
Alonso became excited and said to the young master.
These words were transmitted to Clayton by Alonso’s spiritual power.
Clayton narrowed his eyes.
“Call me young master again, and I’ll beat you up myself!”
Alonso immediately shut up.
Beside him, the other top-tier fighters didn’t look too good either.
Although Andrew was only an 18-year-old fighter, they had no confidence in fighting him.
“Good idea?”
After listening to Clayton’s scolding just now, not only did Andrew not behave, but a strange smile even appeared on his face.
Challenging the pinnacles of the Holy Lands indeed seemed to be a good idea.
One had to know that by killing a pinnacle realm expert, the system would reward a whole million streng
thening points.
What kind of concept was this?
It was equivalent to him selling dozens of sets of sword intent grass. This was too profitable!
Such a good idea, he did not expect that it was Clayton who reminded him.
“Everyone here is a senior, and I’m just a young warrior. Of course, I can’t be rude to the seniors,” Andrew said with a smile.
Alonso was relieved.
As long as he didn’t make a move, it was fine.
He was really a little nervous.
If he fought with Andrew, Alonso didn’t have full confidence. He could only say that Andrew’s strength was close to his.
At this time, Andrew and Clayton chatted with their spiritual power.
“Chief, haven’t you always hated the people of the Holy Lands? Why don’t we join hands today? You hand them over here!”
Clayton was stunned.
Why was Andrew even more arrogant than him?
“This Alonso is very strong and has already reached the Marquis rank. How confident are you in fighting him?”
“I’ll beat him!” Andrew said with certainty.
“But if I have to kill him, I only have 70% confidence.”
“70% confidence?” Clayton was stunned.
One had to know that Alonso and Clayton actually belonged to the same realm.
It was just that Alonso’s dao shadow was 6,000 meters while Clayton was close to 10,000 meters.
But even so, if Clayton wanted to kill Alonso, he only had 70% confidence.
Because if Alonso wanted to run away, it would be very difficult to catch him.
Thinking of this, Clayton felt that it was better not to take too much of a risk.
He continued to transmit his voice to Andrew, “Whether or not you want to kill the Ultimates of the Holy Lands, we’ll talk about it later. It’s better to wait. But these people are very unfriendly to you. You can still spar with them if you want.”
Andrew nodded. His gaze swept across the elders of the Holy Lands in front of him.
“I’m not afraid of you. It’s just that you’re a junior. That’s why I’m too lazy to fight with you!”
When Andrew’s gaze swept across the pinnacle of the Dupont family, he said some harsh words.
The Dupont family members were all arrogant.
This one called Wells was no exception.
Wells was stubborn. Although he knew that he was no match for Andrew, he still refused to admit defeat.
“Oh, it seems that Senior Wells is not convinced. Let’s come out and have a spar.
“It just so happens that the ordinary people have never seen a fight between people at the Ultimate realm. Today, we can take this opportunity to show everyone.”
When Wells heard this, his face turned pale.
But for the honor of his family, he could not back down.
“Okay. If you want to spar with me, don’t regret it,” Wells braced himself and said.
“But before sparring, I have one more thing to announce.”
Andrew stood in the middle of the ring.
“After the spiritual essence recovered, we humans have gone through twenty years. In these twenty years, we have developed very quickly, establishing bases all over the country and taking back a part of the territory.”
After Andrew finished speaking, everyone frowned in confusion.
Especially Clayton and Tyrone. They did not know what Andrew was going to do?
“But the pressure on us is still too great. There are countless monsters oppressing outside, and there’s an internal rebellion among us, the evil martial artists.
“Does anyone know how humans can solve such a predicament?”
The whole place was silent.
No one dared to answer such a big question.
“There is only one way, and that is to let our high-grade martial artists’ number continue to increase! Only when the overall strength of humans increases will the living environment of humans become better and better!
“Everyone here is a martial artist, and they are very clear about the huge gap between the sixth and seventh grades.
“It’s just a question of the transformation of spiritual power. But how many sixth-grade martial artists have been blocked outside the door! And after the seventh-grade martial artists, how many people have comprehended the concept?”
Everyone in the entire stadium was looking forward to Andrew’s next words.
“Today, I, Andrew, you can also call me Grandmaster Thunderblade, I want to bring a welcome news!”
Andrew raised his right hand. In his hand, there was an ordinary grass blade. Its leaves were a little yellow.
“This is called sword intent grass! After consuming it, it can help warriors comprehend sword intent. If they have already comprehended sword intent, they can improve their comprehension of sword intent!
“Back then, I spent a lot of effort to kill the Anaconda King and only obtained some. Later, when I went to Alaska’s Arctic Circle, I killed the Snow Leopard King and obtained some more, but the number is still very small!”
“?”
Clayton was dumbfounded.
He was very clear that Andrew killing the Anaconda King was just an accident.
And when he killed the Snow Leopard King, he was there, so there was no sword intent grass.
But in the entire stadium, whether it was the ordinary martial artists or the media, they were all in an uproar.
The thing that they were most concerned about was what Andrew said just now.
He had killed the Anaconda King and the Snow Leopard King!
“Grandmaster Thunderblade, is what you said true?” a reporter raised his microphone and asked excitedly.
“Or what? I didn’t kill them? Could it be that you killed them?”
Andrew said with some displeasure. Then he waved his hand, and the reporter flew out.
This reporter actually interrupted his speech.
What a good sales pitch.
At this time, Clayton also flew over, and his deep voice spread throughout the audience.
“I can testify to this. In the future, don’t call him Grandmaster Thunderblade. Instead, you should call him King Thunderblade!”
Andrew was speechless.
He had just chased away the reporter. Why was there another person who interrupted his sales pitch?
However, facing Clayton, Andrew couldn’t do anything.
He waved his hand, signaling for the entire audience to quieten down.
The audience had just calmed down a little when suddenly, someone took the lead and shouted, “King Thunderblade, King Thunderblade!”
Very quickly, all of the audience’s emotions were affected by him. The tens of thousands of people in the entire stands shouted together.
“King Thunderblade! King Thunderblade! King Thunderblade!”
Andrew felt that he was going crazy.
He just wanted to sell the sword intent grass. Could these people just calm down?
“All of you, be quiet!”
Andrew roared, and everyone immediately shut up.
Chapter 166 - Comprehending Sword Intent!
“Just like I said, the sword intent grass can help people comprehend sword intent. Do you have any questions?”
Soon, a bald martial artist carefully raised his hand.
“May I ask if it’s really possible to comprehend sword intent?”
Andrew nodded.
“Yes, but you only have the strength of the third stage. You can’t withstand it!”
“Is what he said true?” Tyrone asked Clayton with his spiritual power.
“Anyway, he didn’t get this thing from the Anaconda King or the Snow Leopard King.”
Clayton was absolutely sure of this.
“But whether this thing is real or not, I don’t know. Andrew probably won’t lie.”
“Hahahahaha!”
A burst of laughter suddenly came from the vicinity of the arena.
The person who made the sound was Wells from the Dupont family.
“Our Dupont family has a thousand years of heritage, longer than the history of the United States. We have never heard of any herb that can help a warrior comprehend the concept! You, a junior, are actually lying here!”
Andrew frowned.
Someone actually sabotaged his own stage.
This matter was simply intolerable.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had already prepared in advance for Howard to demonstrate, he probably wouldn’t have been able to explain it clearly.
He glanced at Wells and said disdainfully, “I thought your Holy Land was very knowledgeable, but it turns out that you’re also so shallow!”
Then Andrew shouted to the audience below the ring, “Howard, come up!”
Howard, who had been excited for a long time, suddenly jumped onto the arena.
He took out the sword intent grass that Andrew had given him.
“Eat it.”
With Andrew’s permission, Howard immediately stuffed the grass into his mouth.
But soon, Andrew stopped him again.
“It seems a bit wasteful to eat it like this.”
Howard was confused.
It was just grass. Why couldn’t he eat it like that?
Was there something special to pay attention to?
“Since it’s grass, it won’t taste good if you eat it directly.”
Andrew thought for a moment. He might be able to develop a very delicious way to eat it.
He took out a piece of golden meat from his storage space.
“Everyone, look, this is the meat of the Snow Leopard King!”
After saying that, he set up an oven in the middle of the ring.
He placed a charcoal fire in it and placed the golden meat on top of it to roast.
“Do you want salt and black pepper?”
Howard nodded after listening.
So Andrew took out two more seasoning bottles and sprinkled some seasoning on it. He turned the meat left and right, and the alluring fragrance soon spread out.
Howard was dumbfounded by what he saw.
Normally, this kind of herb was consumed directly. After all, no one was pursuing the taste and delicacy. They just wanted to obtain the energy inside.
After becoming a high-level fighter, if one did not eat for three or four days, the energy in the body would not be lacking. Therefore, under normal circumstances, fighters did not have much desire for delicacies.
