Chapter 135 A Manual Worth More Than Gold

Robin handed the aqual to Martin and gestured for him to open it “Take a look.”

Martin flipped through it with obvious skepticism, but two minutes later the expression on his face had already crossed into near–fanatic intensity. “This… this…”

The biggest problem at their base right now was that everyone’s strength varied wildly. After several major battles, most people had gained at least some ability to protect themselves, but that level of self–defense was nowhere near enough if they ran into real danger.

What they needed was systematic training, something that could raise everyone’s combat ability in the shortest possible time. The apocalypse wasn’t going to wait for them, and danger could strike at any moment. Besides, Robin was still counting on these people to go out and earn points for her.

But with this Ultimate Combat Arts manual, as long as people were willing to put in the work, everyone’s combat strength could make a dramatic leap in a very short time.

Martin was a professional. He understood better than anyone just how valuable this manual really was, and at the same time he became even more certain that following Robin to Shangri–La had been the right decision.

“Well?” Robin asked.

His grip tightened unconsciously around the booklet, leaving faint creases on the cover.

Martin took a deep breath and delivered the verdict one word at a time. “A masterpiece.”

Robin’s lips curved in satisfaction. Then she motioned for Jessica to come over.

Jessica pinched the hem of her shirt. “Me?”

“Martin, let Jessica take a look,” Robin said.

Jessica clearly had very little confidence. She licked her lips and took a small step back. “I’ve never really studied anything like this before. I won’t understand it.”

That said, she still gathered her courage, took the manual, and flipped through it for a moment. Genuine frustration quickly spread across her face. “I really can’t make sense of this…”

Robin pulled out a test tube filled with pale blue liquid.

“What’s that?” Jessica asked, confused.

Robin looked at her encouragingly. “Try drinking it.”

Jessica’s eyes widened. Blue was one of those colors that could kill a person’s appetite instantly. It didn’t even have to do anything. Just sitting there was enough to make it look suspiciously toxic.

She glanced at Robin again, and when she saw there wasn’t a trace of a joke on her face, Jessica steeled herself. Without another word, she took the tube and drank it down. That was absolute trust in Robin, even if the liquid in that tube really didn’t look like something a normal person should swallow.

The others watched nervously. They all wanted to know what kind of effect that obviously questionable blue liquid would have.

Jessica shook her head, then suddenly let out a startled little sound.

Why did it feel like her mind had become unbelievably clear in an instant?

She lowered her head almost in reflex and looked at the manual in her hands, and her expression changed at once, shifting from confusion to shock.

As she turned the pages faster and faster, she seemed to sink into a strange, focused state. Before long she began unconsciously copying the movements shown in the book, and every single motion came out perfectly precise.

In just five minutes, her movements went from awkward and stiff to smooth and natural, as if some invisible hand were quietly guiding her body. The difficult, obscure techniques that had seemed impossible to understand moments ago now felt simple and obvious.

No one spoke. No one interrupted her. The others were too stunned by what they were seeing.

Soon ten minutes had passed. Jessica suddenly snapped out of that strange state, her awareness slowly returning. When she realized what she had just done, a storm rose in her heart.
