Chapter 259: Days of Cultivation (Requesting Monthly Vote)
"Huo Wanyang's innate talent has already reached the pinnacle—it's practically the strongest next to Brother Qi."
"Now that he's awakened a Special Ability, both his innate talent and body constitution will receive massive boosts. Just how terrifying will his innate talent become?" The crowd's eyes burned with envy.
Why couldn't they have such good fortune? How unfair could this world be!
"Huo Wanyang has awakened a Special Ability. If he passes the trial period of a few months, he might directly become an SS-Rank Genius." Guo Heng said solemnly.
"Brother Qi, you're in trouble now!" Jiang Tao called out to Lin Qi, who sat inside a sleek black electric car.
Lin Qi merely looked slightly surprised, showing no other reaction.
"He just awakened it. It'll take months before we see any actual results."
"Huo Wanyang's future strength will certainly be formidable", he added calmly. Everyone present felt admiration—only Academy Head Lin Qi could remain so composed upon hearing such news.
Huo Wanyang himself didn't seem to take the matter seriously either.
To their minds, the entire freshman class of Azure Firmament Martial Academy was probably in an uproar by now.
A few minutes later
In front of Dormitory 01, a standalone villa.
Beep!
Lin Qi placed both hands on the metal box. The red scanning light turned green.
"Student Lin Qi, package successfully received. I won't disturb you further", said the burly deliveryman warmly.
"Thank you!" Lin Qi accepted the obsidian steel case before heading back to his martial arts training hall with both cases in arm.
Instead of opening the package immediately, he suddenly thought of Huo Wanyang.
"Huo Wanyang's innate talent and body constitution were already top-tier. Once they undergo transformation, he might truly become the reincarnation of Lu Bu."
"He's not quite as strong as me yet, but with more resources, his strength might skyrocket within months."
"Still, I actually hope he grows stronger—he should provide some excitement."
"Months later, with my innate talent, those who don't improve will fall farther behind until they can't even see my dust."
Lin Qi mused that others from the Azure Firmament Six Colleges might believe Huo Wanyang could surpass him again. But he remained unfazed—those he'd defeated would never surpass him. That was the confidence of someone with the Erlang Deity's innate talent.
After a brief contemplation, he opened one of the black obsidian steel cases.
Beep!
The box's lid automatically opened, revealing a golden secret manual and a small square Usb drive.
Lin Qi slowly picked up the manual. The cover bore four ornate golden characters: Sky-Shattering Spear.
He began flipping through its pages. As expected, the preface closely resembled that of the Split Mountain Spear Techniques.
The manual's creator, Master Gucheng, described how he'd invented the Sky-Shattering Spear:
"Disaster Beasts invaded with colossal bodies, making humans seem insignificant. Mountains and rivers crumbled—powerless to resist."
"Amidst this chaos, I realized the importance of strength. One day in a deep mountain battlefield, torrential rain fell, mountains trembled, boulders rolled..."
"I felt immense awe—a force capable of shaking mountains."
"Returning, I fused that vision with several spear techniques to create the Sky-Shattering Spear."
"This technique captures the essence of mountain-shaking power, borrowing heavenly forces. With unyielding might as bone and fluid motion as soul, a single spear strike could shake mountains themselves!"
[Manual Creator - Gucheng]
Lin Qi exhaled deeply after finishing. He had to admit—every preface of a spear technique manual never failed to leave him awestruck.
Decades ago, when cultivation systems were still undeveloped, martial artists wandered in darkness. Many only mastered spirit techniques after reaching high stages.
Yet Gucheng, a Seventh Realm martial artist, had created this Yìjìng-level manual—the Sky-Shattering Spear—when most techniques only had three stages. With his unparalleled body constitution, he could literally shake mountains to their core. A single spear strike could reduce entire hills to rubble!
Though Lin Qi couldn't match that yet, he aimed to grasp the mountain-shaking essence. Perhaps one day, he'd create his own spear techniques for future martial artists.
Continuing through the manual, he focused especially on the energy manipulation techniques he sought.
Half an hour later, Lin Qi closed the book, eyes shining.
"Truly amazing—that's real energy manipulation!"
He stood, mentally replaying the manual's teachings.
"Breaking past the third stage of spear techniques allows control over every muscle and enhances energy mastery. Each energy release becomes focused, expending every ounce without waste."
"But this method remains crude—while efficient, it doesn't amplify power and drains stamina rapidly."
"However, Intent-level manuals resolve this issue, enabling precise manipulation and weaving of each energy thread."
"It's like upgrading a regular Wuling Hongguang to an armored vehicle or supercar!"
His eyes gleamed.
"Xiaochan, project the tutorial video."
"Understood, Master!" Xiaochan in blue robes nodded.
A massive green screen descended. The backdrop showed a vast open-air training hall where a hulking figure emerged.
Dressed in white martial arts attire, he wielded a black long spear. His rugged features and piercing eyes radiated profound martial cultivation.
His deep, resonant voice announced:
"The Sky-Shattering Spear contains fifteen forms and three ultimate techniques."
"This style embodies the Overbearing Path—refining the Mountain-Shattering Spear Method and Split Mountain Spear Techniques into the ultimate Insight-level manual."
"When unleashed, it becomes a raging dragon with ten-thousand-ton thunderous force. Each strike shakes mountains, its passage seemingly fracturing landscapes."
"First Form: Stone Sunder"
"Tense muscles, regulate breath and rhythm, sink awareness into the body—control every thread of energy, omnipresent..."
As the giant demonstrated with fluid spear movements, his spear and form became one. Each thrust carried unique resonance.
Lin Qi immediately recognized it—mountain-shaking essence.
Following the tutorial, he began practicing the Sky-Shattering Spear himself.
The complete fifteen forms etched into his mind. Each form bore traces of previously learned techniques like Mountain Collapse and Mountain Sunder. He mastered movements instantly.
Huuuhh!
Shooeeek!
The spear techniques surged with unrestrained power. Pure force erupted, whipping winds and slicing air.
Lin Qi halted, frowning. Compared to the tutorial's giant, his execution felt awkward.
Identical motions, nearly indistinguishable visually.
Yet he keenly sensed subtle differences—micro-variations in energy control.
"Is it about energy manipulation?"
