Chapter 18: The Mountain-Shattering Spear Method (Please Continue Reading)
"We Xia Country has made all foundational martial arts manuals freely available to promote widespread cultivation."
"Harmony Stance, Five Elements Boxing, Basic Blade Techniques, Sword Methods, Spear Techniques..."
"Even advanced weapon manuals remain free of charge."
"These foundational manuals are categorized into ranks based on cultivation stages."
"We classify weapon manuals by the rarity of metals—Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold..."
"For now, you can freely learn the advanced foundational manuals at the Black Iron Rank."
Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold...
Lin Qi already knew these basics, but standing here, he felt the weight of finally choosing his path.
"Beep!"
Three holographic figures materialized, each with distinct physiques. Before them, three manuals hovered in midair.
"Based on the Fundamental Spear Manual, our nation—and indeed all of Blue Planet—has evolved three primary directions: Power, Speed, and Defense."
"Therefore, I offer three spear styles: Overwhelming Force, Tempestuous Gale, and Unyielding Defense."
Zhang Cheng gestured toward the projections. "So, which spear technique will you choose?"
Lin Qi studied the figures. The leftmost was a towering, muscular giant. The manual before him read: Mountain-Shattering Spear Method.
The middle figure, lean yet solid, guarded Trickling Stream Spear.
The last, broad-shouldered and grounded, stood before Rock Solid Spear Techniques.
"Choosing the right style is critical", Zhang Cheng warned. "Once decided, your path is set. Choosing poorly wastes precious time."
"Given your small frame, I’d recommend Speed—Trickling Stream Spear suits you best."
Lin Qi hesitated. Zhang’s logic was sound, but something felt off. He glanced at his Status Panel, which now displayed:
Mountain-Shattering Spear Method (Compatibility: 91%)
Trickling Stream Spear (Compatibility: 90%)
Rock Solid Spear Techniques (Compatibility: 87%)
Compatibility? He hadn’t expected this feature. Higher compatibility meant greater synergy—and stronger power.
"I’ll take Mountain-Shattering Spear Method", Lin Qi declared.
"What?!" Zhang Cheng blinked. "You’re certain?"
"Shouldn’t you pick Trickling Stream?" Jiang Tao interjected, puzzled.
The lanky student beside them turned, equally surprised.
"Since when have my choices been wrong?" Lin Qi shrugged.
Zhang Cheng’s brow furrowed. "You call the 45th-ranked student ‘Senior’? Your humility intrigues me. Honestly, your slight build is among the smallest in the Elite Class. Choosing a power-based style..."
Lin Qi interrupted, "Instinct says this is right."
Zhang Cheng chuckled. "Very well. Remember—no regrets once you begin."
"None", Lin Qi affirmed, resolute.
Zhang Cheng vanished, reappearing with a training spear. Before Lin Qi could blink, the instructor’s aura exploded.
"Watch closely!"
The spear slashed—a thunderous boom cracked the air.
"Mountain-Shattering Spear Method demands explosive power, not brute force. Twelve forms, three ultimate techniques. Every four forms fuse into a devastating strike. Observe my footwork!"
He demonstrated: Rising Momentum, Piercing Clouds, Mountain Collapse...
Lin Qi filmed the display, memorizing each motion. When Zhang Cheng finished, he nodded. "Practice. I’ll guide the others."
Alone, Lin Qi lifted his spear.
Piercing Clouds—his blade arced upward, sharp as a blade cleaving stone.
Blasting Thrust—each form flowed seamlessly.
Whirling Sunder, Skybound Leap, Horizontal Guard...
Twelve forms completed, Lin Qi stood triumphant, his aura vibrating like a collapsing peak.
