And as he expected, the second page spat out its text.

“Fiend Eagle Claw… Rank five Ordinary Level…” Yun Shu nodded to himself.

Nowadays, martial art skills were divided into four levels: Ordinary, Spirit, Immortal, and God.

Each level had nine ranks. Rank one was the beginning, while rank nine was the highest.

Yun Shu gently patted the book, feeling rather confident. At the same time, he was also slightly curious. Since the book started with a rank five Ordinary Level martial art skill, what could it teach him further?

Yun Shu couldn’t help wondering whether the book would finally teach him something on Immortal Level.

Or even… God Level?

Yun Shu forced himself to put aside his curiosity and started practicing the martial art skill called Fiend Eagle Claw.

Soon after, he realized that it fit perfectly with his Fire Cloud Fiend Technique, just like the missing piece of a puzzle.

He was exhilarated. Obviously, the skills taught in the book were well arranged. After two hours, Yun Shu discerned some initial clues on how the skill worked: about thirty percent.

At this time, the wind stopped.

At this time, the wind finally stopped. Yun Shu walked out of the shelter and was ready to go back to the steles. But as soon as he opened the door, his stomach started growling. It then dawned on him that he hadn’t eaten anything ever since he stepped into the valley.

He then decided to ask Master Su where he could get his hands on some food.

At this time, a man in rough fabric clothes walked to him with a small wooden bucket in his hand and said, “Excuse me, you’re… Senior Brother Yun, right?” The man had a big smile on his face.

Yun Shu wasn’t sure what it was, but he still nodded. “I am, and you’re…?”

The man hurriedly explained, “Here, this is your food.”

‘That’s not bad.’ Yun Shu thought to himself.

“Thanks a lot. Please bring it in!” said Yun Shu.

The man hurriedly went inside Yun Shu’s shelter and put the bucket on the stone table. Then he took out all the dishes one by one.

“Please!” the man said politely.

Yun Shu was starving, so he sat down directly, without saying anything more. However, when he picked up his chopsticks, he felt something amiss: the man was not leaving. Instead, the big smile was still plastered on his face as he stood by on the side.

Something was wrong!

Seeing this, Yun Shu rolled his eyes, slightly adjusted the way he sat, and turned his back to the man. Next, he used his golden pupils.

He saw that the dishes actually had black smoke coming out and lingering around the plates.

Yun Shu was pissed; someone tried to poison him!

Yun Shu didn’t take action immediately. Instead, he picked up the bowl of congee and said to the man politely, “I guess you haven’t eaten as well. It must be hard serving here in the valley. Come on, have some congee.”

The look on that man’s face suddenly changed, but a second later, the forced smile had come back again. “Thank you, Senior Brother Yun. However, I’ve had my meal already. Besides, this is your food. No worries, just eat it.”

Yun Shu shook his head. “I’ll feel guilty if you don’t join me. Get some congee. Now!”

Along with his words, he threw the bowl of congee at the man’s face. The guy hurriedly moved aside to avoid the blow. The bowl of congee drew a curve in the air and hit the wall on the far side of the stone shelter. Instantly, the moss on the wall turned black as if it were burnt.

Yun Shu frowned after seeing that. The poison was for sure extremely potent, but it was so easy to be found out! He was obviously severely underestimated.

The man also realized the sudden turn of events: Yun Shu had discovered the poison!

Everyone called Yun Shu a loser, but in reality, he appeared to be much smarter than that. He had tried to kill Yun Shu using the poison to keep everything under wraps. However, the plan was obviously not going to work now.

Still, it was okay. After all, it was so easy for him to kill Yun Shu.

The big smile instantly disappeared from his face and was replaced with a vicious look.

“You bastard Yun, you could’ve died without causing a commotion! But no! If so, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy!” the man said and jumped at Yun Shu.
