Chapter 260: Awakening the Mountain-Shaking Force (Requesting Monthly Votes)
"The Sky-Shattering Spear incorporates the essence of countless spear techniques, demanding extreme precision in controlling Vital Force."
"First, we must cultivate a higher-tier Vital Force—break through from Mountain-Sundering Force to Mountain-Shaking Force!"
"Each secret martial art cultivates a unique Vital Force. The Sky-Shattering Spear can condense the Mountain-Shaking Force!"
"This Vital Force is as fierce as a raging dragon—powerful yet flexible, capable of both brute strength and subtle control."
"Once mastered, its power surpasses Mountain-Sundering Force with far greater versatility."
The burly man stood poised, gripping his Black Long Spear in one hand. With a sudden thrust, he drove it into a marble slab over a meter thick nearby.
"Boom!!"
The spear pierced through, shattering the stone into web-like cracks that splintered outward, sending shards flying. The one-meter-thick marble block lay impaled.
"I controlled my strength to 4,000 kilograms—Mountain-Shaking Force easily pierced this stone", Lin Qi exhaled. The force felt even stronger than he'd imagined.
While he believed he could achieve this, the ease and fluidity the muscular man displayed was nearly impossible. This was the power of the Mountain-Shaking Vital Force—unleashing devastating destruction with a single strike.
Yet mastery remained challenging. It had taken him two and a half days to master Mountain-Sundering Force before.
"Awakening Mountain-Shaking Force is no easy feat—even an S-Rank Genius with exceptional innate talent would need half a month to master it", the muscular man said solemnly.
Lin Qi raised an eyebrow. Half a month? No wonder it was harder than Mountain-Sundering Force.
"With my innate talent, I’ll try to master it within a week", he thought, reopening the manual to study the techniques.
He practiced spear techniques, his movements growing increasingly refined.
"It’s tougher than I expected!"
An hour later, wiping sweat from his brow, he stared at the manual with furrowed brows. Mastering Mountain-Shaking Force proved far more difficult than anticipated—progress felt painstakingly slow.
"No wonder it takes half a month", he sighed, resolving to dedicate the next few days fully to mastering it.

Three days passed. News of Huo Wanyang awakening a Special Ability spread like wildfire among the freshmen.
Ao Feng, Duan Chuchu, Li Lei, and other Academy Heads envied him, though they understood such gifts came purely by chance—divine favor beyond mortal control.
Now Huo Wanyang had surpassed them completely, leaving no hope of catching up.
In the lavish training hall of Azure Firmament First Institute’s private villa, the muscular Huo Wanyang grinned confidently. Red patterns glowed across his skin, radiating intense heat. Flames erupted from his palms, roaring with crimson intensity.
A force activated within, surging through his body like an endless tide.
"This feeling... it’s incredible!" His eyes blazed with red light.
"Special Ability: Crimson Flame! Only those who awaken such gifts understand their true might."
"My body has transformed—my innate talent strengthened, my power amplified!"
He felt reborn, his mind sharper. Insights flooded his thoughts daily.
"Now I’m already an SS-Rank Genius. In months, I’ll defeat Han Zhen effortlessly."
He glanced at the crimson manual—Crimson Lotus Halberd Art—and swung his red great axe. Special Vital Force coursed through his muscles, radiating searing heat.
"With my improved innate talent, I’ll master Crimson Lotus Vital Force in a week—down from ten to fifteen days before."
A smile played on his lips. He’d regained his former confidence.
"Though Dad isn’t my birth father, he’s always cared for me. I’ll repay him fully."

Another day passed.
In the top-floor training hall of Azure Whale Mansion, Mu Hong, clad in black, practiced spear techniques with a training spear. His movements were fierce and expansive.
Lin Qi watched intently nearby.
"Mastering Mountain-Shaking Force is difficult, but not impossible", Mu Hong explained. "Don’t get stuck on rigid methods—approach it differently."
"Condensing unique Vital Force is like solving a puzzle. For example, think of Vital Force as water—this will help you grasp it faster."
As Lin Qi listened, realization dawned. He picked up a training spear, resuming practice.
The Sky-Shattering Spear flowed from him—his steps firm, his strikes like thunderous dragons. His techniques became fluid and powerful, yet something still felt amiss.
Li Qing, holding her long spear, consoled him: "Don’t rush, little junior brother. Let it come naturally."
"Pushing yourself too hard won’t help. Maybe taking a day’s rest will let you break through."
Wang Zhi Xuan added, "Even top geniuses take half a month. With your innate talent, halving that to seven days is already exceptional."
Lin Qi ignored them, immersed in practice. An invisible momentum surrounded him, gradually harmonizing.
He focused inward, following Mu Hong’s guidance. The Vital Force flowed like water, weaving through him—smoother, freer.
Suddenly, his progress surged. In moments, the Vital Force coalesced into something new: Mountain-Shaking Force.
The force surged like a mountain’s fury!
He felt Vital Force slither like a serpent, flowing into his training spear.
"Shhh—"
"Whoosh—"
In an instant, he felt different. The techniques now carried immense power.
Li Qing’s eyes widened. "This is...!"
"Zhi Xuan!" Mu Hong barked.
Wang Zhi Xuan grabbed a training spear and leapt before him. "Little junior brother, attack me!"
Without hesitation, Lin Qi unleashed the Sky-Shattering Spear. Vital Force surged like serpents, channeled into the spear.
"Vroar!!"
The spear hummed with power. He lunged forward, the strike carrying earth-shattering force.
Wang Zhi Xuan swung her spear like a staff to meet it.
Sky-Shattering Spear—Stone Sunder!
"Boom!"
Their spears collided. Lin Qi’s Vital Force unleashed—an unyielding force that split mountains, dispersing into intricate strikes.
A sharp pain shot through her arm as the impact shook her. Despite her Body Constitution, she stared in shock.
Lin Qi staggered backward, halting after several steps.
"Little junior brother, did you master Mountain-Shaking Force?" Wang Zhi Xuan asked, astonished.
Mu Hong nodded. "Looks like it. Congratulations, Lin Qi."
Amazement filled his gaze. Never before had he seen someone without a Special Ability master a Vital Force in just three and a half days.
Lin Qi bowed. "Thank you, Teacher."
Li Qing stared, stunned. "How long have you been practicing Sky-Shattering Spear? You already mastered it?"
"Today makes four days", Lin Qi replied.
"Three and a half days!" Li Qing and Wang Zhi Xuan exchanged shocked glances.
"I took sixteen days to master Stellar Ray Spear’s Stellar Glow Force!" Li Qing groaned.
"I needed fifteen", Wang Zhi Xuan added.
Lin Qi smiled. "This technique shares principles with what I’ve learned before. It came easier."
Li Qing slumped. "Same for me, yet you still outpace me!"
Mu Hong shook his head, eyes wide with admiration. He’d trade all Ten Institute prodigies for this disciple.

Half an hour later, in his private training hall at Azure Firmament’s 01 villa, Lin Qi changed into martial arts attire. As he tossed aside an empty bottle, his gaze fell on his Status Panel.
[You’ve begun learning Sky-Shattering Spear. Spear Techniques Proficiency +1%]
[After 4 days of practice, you’ve awakened Mountain-Shaking Force. Spear Techniques +5%]
[Spear Techniques: Tier 3, 19% → Tier 3, 25%]
He blinked in surprise. "Faster than expected. I thought it’d take a week."
"My innate talent must’ve grown significantly. If I face Han Zhen again, I won’t need Golden Vajra Transformation anymore."
"With my current strength, I can defeat him easily!"
