Chapter 712: Chapter 712

Wang Yuyan stood on the deck, looking at a group of Abnormal People who had gathered in response to Jiang Dali’s command, and felt anew the magic and uniqueness possessed by the man beside her.

This magic and uniqueness felt to her like a mystery.

She had always thought that after spending so much time alone together, she seemed to have understood some of his secrets, but there were always deeper ones hidden in Jiang Dali that were even more astonishing.

"Village Chief, I have not disappointed you. The number of Abnormal People who have gathered at this dock and are ready to set out to sea is one thousand five hundred and thirty. It has been confirmed that they are volunteering to go to Hero Island."

Fat Hao Jun said respectfully beside Jiang Dali.

Jiang Dali nodded slightly and asked in return, "Even if it means death?"

Fat Hao Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed in a hoarse voice, "Village Chief, you know well that we Abnormal People aren’t afraid of dying!"

Jiang Dali nodded and said, "But I must say upfront that what I need for this expedition are warriors who truly do not fear death.

This concerns whether we will ultimately be able to Break Formation and enter Hero Island."

Jiang Dali’s words were not hidden from the others.

Some Players nearby on the ship, upon hearing this, all laughed and expressed their fearlessness of death.

"Village Chief, just lead us to Hero Island without worry! If I could see the real Hero Island, I would be willing to die once."

"That’s right, Village Chief, rest assured, you cherish us Abnormal People, and we all know it, but we are indeed truly willing to die for you, Village Chief."

"Pah! Why talk so grandly? Do you dare say you’re not here for the rewards offered by the Black Wind Village Chief?"

The Players laughed as they talked, all of them appearing as if they were ready to face death.

Jiang Dali watched this scene with a smile, thinking that the last trouble had been easily resolved.

The voyage to Hero Island was not only going to lead to destruction of many ships but also many Players.

If he didn’t make everything clear at this point and let these greedy Players prepare themselves for death,

he feared that if he really caused a large number of Players to be victimized later on, his good reputation as the Black Wind Village Chief who loves Abnormal People like his own children would be destroyed, and the "chives" in the wilderness would be much more cautious around him from now on.

Now that these Players were promising to face life and death without complaint, that was just perfect – it was as if they were offering themselves for slaughter, saying, "If you’re a brother, come chop me; if you kill me, I won’t blame you! And if you can’t, I’ll look down on you!"

Jiang Dali immediately became serious and said solemnly to all the Players, "The sea voyage we are about to embark on is extremely dangerous. We will face a very formidable Array and a special geomantic spot.

To ensure everyone’s safety and to break the Formation quickly, I have decided to make an exception and teach you a Mysterious Skill that I have never revealed in public before.

All of you who are willing to follow me through life and death may come forward to learn.

I declare that I will not charge a single cent for teaching, willing to impart it in its entirety!"

This announcement left the Players utterly shocked and in an uproar.

"What? We can learn a Mysterious Skill even before we set out to sea?"

"A Mysterious Skill that Black Wind Village Chief has never displayed in public? Could it be the Powerful Skyward Stick Technique?"

"Be serious now, hurry up and get in line."

Fat Hao Jun, who was standing beside Jiang Dali, was also astonished; turning to look at Jiang Dali, he asked excitedly and incredulously, "Village Chief, what Mysterious Skill you will impart to us? Can I learn it?"

Jiang Dali said flatly yet seriously, "Bring a chair here, I will start now, teaching it to each and every one of you.

In the interest of being responsible for the life safety of you all, all those who are setting out to sea must learn this Mysterious Skill first, otherwise, they cannot set sail.

Ah, although it is said that you Abnormal People are all exceptionally talented, I still wonder if you can learn it quickly in such a short time?"

A great number of Players, already lined up below the ship, almost laughed out loud at this.

For them, as long as they had sufficient Cultivation Points and Potential Points, what Cultivation Technique could they not learn?

This was simply a blessing from heaven!

The Black Wind Village Chief really took great care of them Abnormal People – he was like a model among NPCs.

Fat Hao Jun was the first to step forward to learn.

Jiang Dali subtly changed the name of "South Sea Sect’s Qi Men Formation (Fragment)" to something more dominant and eye-catching, renaming it to "Black Wind Mountain Guardian Divine Array (Fragment)."

And judging by the excited expressions on the faces of most of the Players present, he guessed the "fertility" level of these "chives" and set an appropriate amount of Cultivation Points and Potential Points needed for learning.

A prompt popped up, appearing on Fat Hao Jun’s panel.

"Black Wind Village Chief wants to teach you the Art of the Mystic Arts and the Nine Gates ’Black Wind Mountain Guardian Divine Array (Human Rank Fragment).’ Learning requires 150 Cultivation Points and 500 Potential Points..."

Fat Hao Jun’s gaze was fixed and his heart first filled with surprise, then astonishment, and finally a hint of skepticism.

This was the first time he had seen such an Art of Qimen Dunjia, and it was good.

But to his surprise, it was only a Human Rank Fragment.

And... does learning a Human Rank Fragment of a secret manual really require so many Cultivation Points?
