Free Web NovelChapter 18: Chapter 18: Mountain Shattering Spear Technique
"To popularize the practice of Martial Arts in our Xia Country, all basic Secret Manuals are free."
"Hunyuan Posture, Five Elements Fist, Basic Saber Technique, Swordsmanship, Spear Technique..."
"Even advanced Weapon Secret Manuals are also free."
"Beyond the basic manuals, techniques are divided into different levels based on their corresponding Realm."
"Based on the rarity and value of metals, Weapon Secret Manuals are categorized as Black Iron, Bronze, silver, Golden Metal..."
"For example, you can all now learn a basic advanced manual for free—that is, a Black Iron Level manual."
’Black Iron, Bronze, silver, Golden Metal...’
Lin Qi already knew all this. He’d been eager to learn these techniques ever since he first set foot on the path of Martial Arts.
BEEP!
Three projected figures appeared, each with a different body type. In front of them, three books materialized.
"In our Xia Country, and indeed across all of Blue Star, Basic Spear Skill has generally been developed in three directions: strength, speed, and defense."
"Therefore, I have three Spear Techniques here, with styles that are, respectively: fierce and domineering, swift as the wind, and steady and defensive."
"So, which Spear Technique will you choose?"
Zhang City asked, curious about his choice.
Lin Qi looked at the three projections. The one on the left was burly, with thick arms and muscles like forged steel.
The name of the book before him was: *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique*.
The figure in the middle had a lean, powerful build.
The name of the book before him was: *Drip Water Spear Skill*.
The last person was broad-shouldered with a calm and steady demeanor.
The name of the book before him was: *Rock Gun Skill*.
*Mountain Shattering Spear Technique*, *Drip Water Spear Skill*, *Rock Gun Skill*.
Lin Qi quickly took them in. The three Spear Techniques corresponded to strength, speed, and defense, respectively.
"Choosing a Spear Technique is very important. It must suit you."
"Once you make a choice, your future path is set."
"If you choose wrong, the cost is enormous. Changing your Spear Technique will just waste your time."
"And time is the most important thing in your senior year."
"You have a small frame and a slim build. You’re suited for the speed-focused style. The *Drip Water Spear Skill* would be a good fit for you."
Zhang City offered his honest advice from the side.
’Should I choose the *Drip Water Spear Skill*?’
Lin Qi hesitated. Zhang City had a good point, but he felt that this Spear Technique wasn’t the best match for him.
He glanced at his panel and saw that it had changed. A new string of data had appeared:
*Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* (Fusion Degree 91%)
*Drip Water Spear Skill* (Fusion Degree 90%)
*Rock Gun Skill* (Fusion Degree 87%)
...
’Fusion Degree?’
Lin Qi was surprised. He hadn’t expected the panel to have this function—the ability to check his Fusion Degree with a Secret Manual.
The higher the Fusion Degree, the more suitable the Secret Manual was for him, and the more powerful it would be when executed.
Since the Fusion Degrees were laid out before him, Lin Qi no longer hesitated.
"I choose the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique*!"
Lin Qi announced his choice.
"Huh?"
Zhang City looked at him, completely baffled.
"Brother Qi, are you sure you didn’t choose wrong?"
"Shouldn’t you have picked the *Drip Water Spear Skill*?" Jiangtao didn’t understand.
The skinny boy also shot him a surprised look.
"Taozi, when have my choices ever been wrong?"
Lin Qi said, shaking his head.
"Well..."
Hearing this, Jiangtao hesitated and stopped trying to persuade him.
Across from them, Zhang City frowned and couldn’t help but speak up.
"You’re in the top fifteen of your grade, yet you call the 45th-ranked student ’brother’. It seems there’s more to you than meets the eye, Student Lin Qi."
"You have a slim build and a small frame. To be honest, you’re one of the smallest students in the Elite class."
"Yet you chose the strength-focused *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique*."
"Can you tell me your reasoning?"
Lin Qi shook his head. "No particular reason. My gut just tells me the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* is the most suitable choice!"
Zhang City laughed after hearing this.
"Interesting. I’ll remember you, Lin Qi."
"Since you’ve chosen, don’t regret it."
Lin Qi’s expression was firm. "No regrets."
’Zhang City has a point, but there’s no way I’ll regret this,’ he thought. ’Not to mention the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* has the highest Fusion Degree.’
’Besides, I also have the Erlang God template. In the future, the higher my Fusion Degree gets, the greater my Talent will be.’
’My body’s natural aptitude will also continue to evolve.’
’I’ll get taller, and my muscles and bones will transform.’
’I can feel myself changing every day.’
’I may be a skinny runt now, but I won’t be in the future.’
"Very well. I will now demonstrate the Spear Technique. You’d best record it with your phone."
Zhang City turned off the projection and vanished from his spot. In the next instant, a Training Lance appeared in his hand.
’So fast!’
Lin Qi was inwardly shocked; he couldn’t even clearly see Zhang City’s movements.
Holding the Long Spear, Zhang City’s aura changed dramatically.
"Watch closely!"
With that, his body moved in a flash. He whipped the Long Spear around, his presence erupting forth.
The shaft of the spear hummed, and the very air seemed to vibrate with the force of its tip.
SWISH! SWISH!
BANG!
In an instant, the Long Spear shot forward, its tip glinting coldly as it pierced the air.
"The *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* is fierce and domineering. Its power is astounding, but it requires immense strength to unleash its full potential." freewёbnoνel.com
"Every thrust is like the fall of a giant hammer, as if it could shatter a mountain peak in a single moment."
"This power isn’t mere brute force, but an explosive strength honed through countless hours of practice."
"Without a sufficiently powerful physique, you’ll end up hurting yourself as much as your opponent."
"The *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* has twelve forms and three Killing Techniques. Every four forms can be combined into one Killing Technique."
"This Spear Technique also includes footwork, so pay close attention to my steps."
"Now, watch the first form: Opening Stance!"
As Zhang City spoke, he demonstrated the Spear Technique. Lin Qi stood to the side, recording with his phone while memorizing the movements.
Zhang City brought the Long Spear horizontal, his aura condensing, rising like a mountain peak from the earth.
In the next moment, he gripped the Long Spear, flipped his wrist, and brought the spear’s shaft close to his waist.
The Long Spear thrust out swiftly, as light and precise as if it were plucking a cloud from the sky.
"Second form: Cloud Picking. Third form: Beng Ci..."
Form by form, the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* unfolded in Zhang City’s hands with majestic power.
The force of the spear was immense, spreading outwards like a surging tide.
Lin Qi felt as if he wasn’t facing a person, but a mountain on the verge of collapse.
"Opening Stance, Cloud Picking, Beng Ci, Vortex Break, Sky Jumping, Horizontal Block, Rapid Advance, Back Sweep, Point Break, Earth Shake, Ward Off, Closing Stance!"
"Those are the twelve forms of the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique*. Once you’ve mastered them, you can try to comprehend the three Killing Techniques."
Zhang City withdrew the Long Spear, his presence returning to normal as he looked at Lin Qi.
"You practice first. I’m going to teach the other two their new Secret Manuals."
"Okay!"
Lin Qi put away his phone and walked to a corner.
He took out his Long Spear and replayed Zhang City’s entire demonstration of the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* in his mind.
The twelve spear forms appeared clearly in his mind’s eye.
The next moment, Lin Qi opened his eyes and began to brandish the Long Spear.
He brought the Long Spear horizontal and then thrust it out quickly, mimicking Zhang City’s movements.
’Cloud Picking!’
He put force into his arm, drew a circle with the spear’s tip, and then thrust it out violently. It pierced the air, as if it had enough Penetration Power to shatter rock.
’Beng Ci!’
After executing each form, the next one would instantly appear in Lin Qi’s mind.
He spun the Long Spear, leaped high into the air...
Lin Qi’s movements weren’t fast, but he executed the twelve spear forms one by one, with methodical precision.
Until the last couple of forms!
’Ward Off!’
’Closing Stance!’
*Hooo...*
Lin Qi brought his spear to a halt and stood still, his eyes shining. He had performed the entire *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* from start to finish.
