# Chapter 45: Secret Base!
Following Wu Liang all the way to what he called his "territory"
He brought Jiangnan to a renovated abandoned warehouse!
It was actually quite big, taking up three or four hundred square meters!
The moment the rolling shutter door opened, Jiangnan's brain was genuinely stunned for a second!
Piles of fitness equipment!
Forget the sandbags and dumbbells!
Right in the middle was an octagonal cage!
The walls were covered with cold weapons!
Things like khukris! Kris swords! Triangular bayonets! Crossbows!
And parked in the garage were seven or eight heavily modified off-road vehicles!
Raptors, Wranglers, Everests, Hummers—some Jiangnan didn't even recognize.
There were also all kinds of outdoor gear, tents, searchlights, generators...
One look and it was practically a man's paradise!
Even Jiangnan was drooling just looking at it!
Ask any guy if he doesn't love this stuff!
"Holy crap!"
Too bad he had no culture!
"Holy crap" was his go-to phrase for everything!
Wu Liang excitedly grabbed two things from the side!
A heavy titanium-magnesium alloy shield with a roaring bear head embossed on it!
A full two meters tall! At least three hundred pounds!
In his other hand, he carried a two-meter-long horse-slaying broadsword!
That thing was terrifying!
He said excitedly, "Brother Nan! How is it? Look how awesome I am!"
Jiangnan quickly shook his head. "I'm not looking, I'm not looking!"
[From Wu Liang's Resentment Value +666!]
"Man, that whole load of yours must be at least five hundred pounds, right? Can you even move easily?"
Wu Liang shoved the iron shield forward, sending waves of wind!
The horse-slaying broadsword swung wildly, its dull, heavy sound cutting through the air as if it weighed nothing in Wu Liang's hands!
"Training every day! No problem! If I beast-transform, it gets even easier!"
Jiangnan nodded with satisfaction. He'd really struck gold with this guy!
A total heavy-shield warrior!
A mobile fortress!
An invincible thick-blood tank!
Wu Liang suddenly seemed to remember something!
He tossed the shield and broadsword aside and picked up an iron spear!
The red tassel at the spearhead fluttered, and the tip gleamed coldly!
"Brother Nan, check this out! How is it? Feels good in the hand?"
Jiangnan took the spear, turned around, and swung it down in a vertical slash!
The spear tip cut through the air, letting out a piercing shriek!
*Smack!*
The shaft cracked the concrete floor!
Wu Liang watched excitedly!
Look at that form!
It was pure artistry!
But Jiangnan shook his head and said, "I don't feel like using this thing. I'll pick my own!"
Wu Liang was stunned!
Wasn't Jiangnan trained in spear techniques?
Last time in the alley fight, he knocked him out with a street lamp!
His technique was absolutely master-level! There's no way he could have that skill without training since childhood!
And now he just said he doesn't want to use it?
Jiangnan looked around and grabbed a triangular bayonet from the rack, tucking it at his lower back.
[Skill triggered! Dagger: LV0!]
[Skill points added: 100!]
[Skill upgraded! Dagger (Proficient) LV:0!]
In an instant, Jiangnan pulled the triangular bayonet from its sheath!
He spun it once in his hand, reversed his grip, and thrust forward! Switched hands and slashed hard!
The cold light flipped and danced in Jiangnan's hand like a living spirit!
Not a single wasted movement!
Pure and sharp!
Wu Liang stared with eyes nearly popping out as Jiangnan turned the triple-edged bayonet into a blooming flower!
He's also an expert with daggers?
That skilled?
Did you start training in the womb?
Jiangnan sheathed the triangular bayonet with satisfaction.
Then from the wooden rack, he spotted a sheathed Tang saber!
The blade was one meter twenty long! It carried a strong sense of age!
But it wasn't worn out!
The moment he drew it!
A sharp, cold gleam appeared!
The blade was straight! It had thousand-layer blade patterns, and at the handle was an ancient inscribed character: "凉" (Liang)!
The cold light was dazzling—so sharp it could split a hair blown against it!
[Skill triggered! Saber Technique: LV0!]
[Skill points added: 100!]
[Skill upgraded! Saber Technique (Proficient) LV:0!]
*Clang!*
The cold saber left its sheath! The blade cut through the air, and a brilliant saber flower bloomed!
Jiangnan looked at the straight blade, his eyes full of satisfaction!
Wu Liang's jaw dropped!
He looked utterly incredulous!
Spears, daggers, Tang sabers—he can use them all!
And he's a master of every single one?
We're both human, but what makes you so outstanding?
Jiangnan patted Wu Liang's shoulder and laughed. "When summer break comes around, I'll teach you how to use that horse-slaying broadsword!"
Wu Liang: ???
Holy crap?
What more could I even say?
I guess the name "Nan Shen" really isn't just for show!
"What about this Tang saber?"
"My dad got it from the countryside! Handed down from ancient times! A real weapon! The craftsmanship is already lost!"
"If you like it, Brother Nan, it's yours!"
Jiangnan naturally didn't hold back!
He had a clear idea of where his future was heading!
Space-type ability, high mobility! Mainly crowd control! Long weapons would be too cumbersome!
A Tang saber as his main weapon was perfect! The triangular bayonet as his secondary—he'd never be at a disadvantage in close combat!
"I've got some treasures for you too!"
He mysteriously waved Wu Liang over.
Wu Liang leaned in with eager anticipation.
Jiangnan pulled a pair of shorts from his alternate dimension.
Boxer shorts with a bear head printed on them.
Wu Liang: ???
This is what Jiangnan calls a treasure?
Since when did underwear become a treasure?
Does he... really like giving people shorts that much?
Last time he gave him a Pikachu pair, and now another...
Seeing Wu Liang frozen, Jiangnan raised an eyebrow.
"What? You don't like them?"
Wu Liang scratched his head. "It's not about liking or not liking..."
Jiangnan said, "Let me tell you! Don't underestimate them! These are no ordinary shorts!"
"If shorts had ranks, these would be the king of shorts!"
Wu Liang: ???
"You know the Hulk? No matter how he transforms, his shorts never tear!"
With that, Jiangnan grabbed both sides of the shorts and pulled hard!
They stretched nearly a meter long! Then he let go!
They instantly snapped back to shape!
Wu Liang's eyes lit up!
Holy crap!
This is practically! A divine artifact!
As long as he wore the Hulk-brand shorts, he'd never have to worry about going completely naked when beast-transforming!
This was a blessing for all beast-type spirit warriors!
King of shorts! No contest!
I hereby dub these shorts the strongest!
Wu Liang gave a thumbs up. "Awesome! Great stuff!"
Then he looked a little embarrassed. "Bro... Brother Nan! Do these Hulk shorts come in a brief style?"
The air suddenly fell dead silent!
Jiangnan's expression gradually turned horrified!
"No, no—Brother Nan! It's not what you're thinking! Briefs are super comfortable!"
"It's a feeling boxers can never give you! Try them at home if you don't believe me!"
Jiangnan shook his head like a rattle.
He directly pulled out ten pairs of brief-style shorts from his alternate dimension!
All styles available, everything you could need!
Wu Liang accepted them with deep gratitude, itching to try them on right then and there!
But Jiangnan grabbed him tight!
Bro!
No!
Please don't!
Don't leave a spiritual stain in my memory!
I really can't handle that!
