Mountain Shattering Spear Technique

"Our Xia Kingdom, in order to popularize and spread martial arts, made all basic martial arts manuals free."

"Perfectly Round Stance, Five Form Fist, Basic Saber Technique, Sword Technique, Spear Technique..."

"Even advanced weapon manuals are free as well."

"Above the basic manuals, different grades are assigned according to the realm corresponding to each manual."

"Based on the rarity and value of metals, weapon manuals are divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold..."

"For example, you can now learn basic advanced manuals for free—that is, Black Iron Grade manuals."

"Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold..."

Lin Qi already knew all this basic knowledge. Ever since he had embarked on the path of martial arts, he had been looking forward to learning them.

"Beep!"

The three projected figures had different builds, and three books appeared before them.

"Our Xia Kingdom, and even all of Blue Star, has broadly developed Basic Spear Technique in three directions: strength, speed, and defense."

"So, I have three spear techniques here, each with a different style: 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. The one on the left had a sturdy build, thick arms, and muscles like refined steel.

The book before him was titled: Mountain Shattering Spear Technique

The figure in the middle had lean, powerful muscles.

The book before him was titled: Water Droplet Spear Technique

The last person had a broad build and a calm demeanor.

The book before him was titled: Bedrock Spear Technique

Mountain Shattering Spear Technique, Water Droplet Spear Technique, Bedrock Spear Technique

Lin Qi quickly looked through them. The three spear techniques corresponded to strength, speed, and defense respectively.

"Choosing a spear technique is extremely important. It must suit you."

"Once you make your choice, your future path will already be determined."

"If you choose wrong, the cost will be enormous. Changing spear techniques means wasting your time."

"Time is what matters most in senior year."

"Your frame is small and you are rather thin. You are suited to the speed path, and Water Droplet Spear Technique would suit you better."

Zhang Cheng gave his fair recommendation from the side.

"Should I choose Water Droplet Spear Technique?"

Lin Qi hesitated slightly. Zhang Cheng made sense, but he felt that this technique was not the one most compatible with him.

He looked at his Panel, only to find that it had changed again, displaying a string of data:

Mountain Shattering Spear Technique (Compatibility: 91%)

Water Droplet Spear Technique (Compatibility: 90%)

Bedrock Spear Technique (Compatibility: 87%)

Compatibility?

Lin Qi was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the Panel to have such a function, one that could check the compatibility between a manual and its user.

The higher the compatibility, the more suitable the manual was for the person, and the greater its power when used.

Since the compatibility had already been displayed, Lin Qi no longer hesitated.

"I choose Mountain Shattering Spear Technique!"

Lin Qi announced his choice.

"What?"

Zhang Cheng: "?"

"Qi Ge, are you sure you didn't choose the wrong one?"

"Shouldn't you choose Water Droplet Spear Technique?" Jiang Tao could not understand.

The thin boy also looked over in considerable surprise.

"Tao Zi, when have my choices ever been wrong?"

Lin Qi shook his head.

"This..."

Hearing that, Jiang Tao fell into hesitation and stopped trying to dissuade him.

Zhang Cheng frowned and could not help speaking up.

"You rank in the top fifteen of the grade, yet you call the forty-fifth-ranked student your big brother. It seems you truly are extraordinary, Lin Qi."

"You are rather thin, with a small frame. To be honest, among the Elite Class, you are one of the smallest."

"Yet you chose the strength-focused Mountain Shattering Spear Technique."

"Can you tell me why?"

Lin Qi shook his head. "There is no special reason. My intuition tells me that Mountain Shattering Spear Technique suits me best!"

Zhang Cheng laughed when he heard that.

"Interesting. I'll remember you, Lin Qi."

"Since you have chosen it, don't regret it."

Lin Qi's expression was resolute. "I won't."

Although Zhang Cheng was right, there was no way Lin Qi would regret it. Not to mention that Mountain Shattering Spear Technique had the highest compatibility.

He also possessed the Erlang Shen Template. The higher his future fusion rate, the greater his talent would become.

His body's innate gifts would continue to transform as well.

He would grow taller, and his muscles, tendons, and bones would all transform.

Every day, he could feel the changes in himself.

He might be skinny now, but he would not be in the future.

"Very good. Next, I'll demonstrate the spear technique once. You'd better record it on your phone."

Zhang Cheng shut off the projection and instantly vanished from where he stood. The next second, a Training Spear appeared in his hand.

So fast!

Lin Qi was secretly startled. He had not even seen Zhang Cheng's movements clearly.

Zhang Cheng gripped the Long Spear, and his aura suddenly changed drastically.

"Watch closely!"

As soon as he spoke, his body moved in an instant. The Long Spear in his hand swept out fiercely, his momentum rising like a mountain from the earth.

The spear shaft trembled faintly, and even the air seemed shaken by the power at its tip.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Bang!

In an instant, the Long Spear stabbed forth. The spearhead flashed with cold light as it pierced through the air.

"Mountain Shattering Spear Technique is fierce and domineering in style, with astonishing power. It requires immense strength to bring out its full might."

"Every thrust is like a massive hammer smashing down, as though it could shatter an entire mountain in an instant."

"This strength is not mere brute force, but explosive power tempered through countless trials."

"Without a sufficiently powerful physique, you will harm yourself even as you harm others."

"Mountain Shattering Spear Technique has twelve forms and Three Ultimate Moves. Every four forms can be combined into one killing move."

"This spear technique also includes footwork. Pay close attention to my steps."

"Now watch the First Form: Initiating Stance!"

Zhang Cheng demonstrated the spear technique as he spoke. Lin Qi took out his phone at the side, recording while memorizing.

Zhang Cheng held the Long Spear horizontally, gathering his momentum until it rose like a mountain peak.

The next instant, he gripped the Long Spear, twisted his wrist, and kept the spear shaft close to his waist.

The Long Spear shot out rapidly, as light and precise as lifting away clouds.

"Second Form: Cloud Piercing. Third Form: Collapse Thrust..."

Every move of Mountain Shattering Spear Technique unfolded in Zhang Cheng's hands with majestic force.

The spear momentum was vast, spreading in every direction like surging waves.

Lin Qi felt as though he was not facing a person, but a mountain on the verge of collapse.

"Initiating Stance, Cloud Piercing, Collapse Thrust, Whirlwind Break, Soaring Leap, Horizontal Block, Rapid Advance, Sweeping Return, Piercing Point, Earth Shaker, Enemy Defense, Concluding Stance!"

"These are the twelve forms of Mountain Shattering Spear Technique. Once you have mastered them, you can try to comprehend the Three Ultimate Moves."

Zhang Cheng put away the Long Spear, returning to calmness as he looked at Lin Qi.

"Practice first. I'll go teach the other two their new manuals."

"Alright!"

Lin Qi put away his phone and walked into a corner.

He took out his Long Spear and began recalling the entire process of Zhang Cheng demonstrating Mountain Shattering Spear Technique.

The twelve spear forms surfaced clearly in his mind.

The next moment, Lin Qi opened his eyes and began wielding the Long Spear in his hand.

He held the Long Spear horizontally, then thrust it out rapidly, imitating Zhang Cheng's movements.

Cloud Piercing!

His arm exerted force, the spear tip traced a circle, and then it stabbed out fiercely, piercing through the air as though it could shatter rock with immense penetrative force.

Collapse Thrust!

After every form, the next form instantly surfaced in Lin Qi's mind.

He spun the Long Spear and leaped high into the air...

Lin Qi's movements through the twelve spear forms were not fast, but he executed every move with precision and proper form.

Until the final one or two forms!

Enemy Defense!

Concluding Stance!

"Whew~"

Lin Qi withdrew his spear and stood still, looking invigorated. He had completely performed Mountain Shattering Spear Technique once.
