Chapter 18: "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique"
"Our Xia Country, in order to popularize and spread martial arts, has made all basic martial arts manuals free."
"The Hunyuan Stance, the Five Forms Fist, Basic Saber Technique, Sword Technique, Spear Technique..."
"This even includes advanced weapon manuals, which are also free."
"And above the basic manuals, different levels are divided according to the realm corresponding to the manual."
"Based on the preciousness and rarity of metals, weapon manuals are divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold..."
"For example, right now, you all can learn the basic advanced manuals for free, which are the Black Iron-level manuals."
"Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold..."
Lin Qi knew all this basic knowledge, and he had been looking forward to being able to learn them ever since he set foot on the path of martial arts.
Beep!
The three projected figures had different body types, and three books appeared in front of them.
"Our Xia Country, and even the entire Blue Star, has generally deduced three directions from the basic spear technique, which are: power, speed, and defense."
"Therefore, I have three spear techniques here, with their styles being: fierce and domineering, swift as the wind, and steady defense."
"So, which spear technique will you choose?"
Zhang Cheng asked, curious about his choice.
Lin Qi looked at the three projections. First, the one on the left was burly, with thick arms, and muscles like refined steel.
The name of the book in front of him was: "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique."
The figure in the middle possessed a body of lean muscle.
The name of the book in front of him was: "Water-Dripping Spear Technique."
The last person had a broad figure and a steady temperament.
The name of the book in front of him was: "Bedrock Spear Technique."
"Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique," "Water-Dripping Spear Technique," "Bedrock Spear Technique."
Lin Qi quickly finished reading. The three spear techniques corresponded to power, speed, and defense, respectively.
"Which spear technique you choose is very important. It must be suitable for you."
"Once you make a choice, your future path is set."
"If you choose wrong, then the price is enormous. To change your spear technique, what you waste is your time."
"The most important thing in the third year of high school is time."
"I see that your frame is small and your build is on the leaner side. You are suitable for the speed-style. 'Water-Dripping Spear Technique' is more suitable for you," Zhang Cheng offered his pertinent advice from the side.
"Should I choose 'Water-Dripping Spear Technique'?"
Lin Qi hesitated slightly. What Zhang Cheng said was quite right, but he felt that this spear technique was not the most compatible manual for him.
He looked at his own panel and discovered that it had undergone a new change, with a string of data appearing:
"Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" (Compatibility 91%)
"Water-Dripping Spear Technique" (Compatibility 90%)
"Bedrock Spear Technique" (Compatibility 87%)
...
Compatibility?
Lin Qi was a little surprised. He hadn't expected the panel to have this function, to actually be able to check the compatibility between a manual and oneself.
The higher the compatibility, the more suitable the manual was for the person, and the stronger its power would be when executed.
Since the compatibility was already laid out, Lin Qi no longer hesitated.
"I choose 'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique'!" Lin Qi stated his choice.
"What?"
Zhang Cheng: "?"
"Qi-ge, are you sure you didn't choose wrong?"
"Shouldn't you choose 'Water-Dripping Spear Technique'?" Jiang Tao didn't understand.
The lean boy also looked over with considerable surprise.
"Taozi, when has my choice ever been wrong," Lin Qi said, shaking his head.
"This..."
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Tao also hesitated and no longer tried to dissuade him.
The opposing Zhang Cheng frowned and couldn't help but speak:
"You, who are in the top fifteen of the grade, are actually calling someone ranked 45th in the grade 'ge'. It seems, student Lin Qi, you indeed have something extraordinary about you."
"Your build is lean, and your frame is small. To be honest, in the elite class, your build is one of the smallest."
"Yet you chose the power-focused 'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique'."
"Can you tell me the reason?"
Lin Qi shook his head and said, "There's no special reason. My intuition tells me that choosing 'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique' is the most suitable!"
Zhang Cheng laughed after hearing this:
"A bit interesting. I'll remember you, Lin Qi."
"Since you've made your choice, don't regret it."
Lin Qi's expression was firm: "No regrets."
Although what Zhang Cheng said was correct, it was impossible for him to regret it. Not to mention that "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" had the highest compatibility.
Just the fact that he still had the Erlang Shen template meant that the higher his fusion rate in the future, the greater his talent would be.
His body's innate talent would also continuously transform.
His height would grow, and his muscles and bones would also transform.
He felt himself changing every day.
He was a skinny dog now, but he wouldn't be in the future.
"Very good. Next, I will demonstrate the spear technique once. You'd best record it with your phone."
Zhang Cheng turned off the projection and instantly disappeared from his spot. In the next second, a training spear appeared in his hand.
So fast!
Lin Qi was secretly astonished. He hadn't even seen Zhang Cheng's movements clearly.
Zhang Cheng held the long spear, and his aura changed dramatically.
"Watch closely!"
With that, his body moved in an instant. The long spear in his hand brandished fiercely, its momentum rising from the ground.
The shaft of the spear trembled slightly, and the air seemed to vibrate from the power at its tip.
Swish! Swish!
Bang!
In an instant, the long spear thrust out, its tip glinting with a cold light, piercing through the air.
"'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique' has a fierce and domineering style, with astonishing power. It requires extremely strong power to be able to unleash its might."
"Every thrust is like a giant hammer crashing down, as if it could shatter a mountain peak in an instant."
"This kind of power is not simple brute force, but an explosive power that has been tempered a thousand times."
"Without a sufficiently strong physique, you would injure yourself as well as your opponent."
"'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique' has a total of twelve forms and three ultimate moves. Every four forms can be combined into one ultimate move."
"At the same time, this spear technique also includes footwork. Pay attention and observe my steps."
"And watch the first form: Starting Stance!"
Zhang Cheng demonstrated the spear technique as he spoke. Lin Qi took out his phone from the side, recording while memorizing.
Zhang Cheng held the long spear horizontally, his momentum gathering, rising up like a mountain peak.
In the next instant, he held the long spear, his wrist flipped, and the spear's shaft was held close to his waist.
The long spear thrust out quickly, as light and precise as flicking away a cloud.
"Second form: Cloud-Flick; third form: Shattering Thrust..."
One by one, the forms of the "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" were executed in Zhang Cheng's hands with immense momentum.
The spear's momentum was vast, spreading out in all directions like a surging tide.
Lin Qi felt that he was not facing a person, but a mountain peak that was about to collapse.
"Starting Stance, Cloud-Flick, Shattering Thrust, Spiraling Break, Soaring Leap, Horizontal Block, Swift Advance, Sweeping Return, Point Break, Earth-Shaker, Fending Off the Enemy, and Closing Stance!"
"These are the twelve forms of 'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique'. When you have practiced them until you are proficient, you can try to comprehend the three ultimate moves."
Zhang Cheng retracted his spear and returned to a calm state, looking at Lin Qi.
"You practice first. I'll go teach the other two their new manuals."
"Okay!"
Lin Qi put away his phone and walked to a corner.
He took out a long spear and began to recall the entire process of Zhang Cheng executing the "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" in his mind.
The twelve forms of the spear technique clearly appeared in his mind.
The next moment, Lin Qi opened his eyes, and the long spear in his hand began to dance.
He held the long spear horizontally, and then quickly thrust it out, imitating Zhang Cheng's movements.
Cloud-Flick!
His arm exerted force, the spear tip drew a circle, and then he suddenly thrust out, piercing the air, as if it could shatter rock, possessing extremely strong penetrating power.
Shattering Thrust!
Every time he finished executing a form, the next form would instantly appear in Lin Qi's mind.
He spun the long spear, leaped high into the air...
The twelve forms of the spear technique. Lin Qi's movements were not fast, but he executed them one by one, with precision and form.
Until the last one or two forms!
Fending Off the Enemy!
Closing Stance!
Hooo~
Lin Qi retracted his spear and stood still, his spirits high. He had completely executed the "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" once.
