Liang Qu was soaking in the bathtub.

Awei climbed up his shoulder to the edge of the tub, his Centipede dangling down. The two-finger-wide tub wall fit his body perfectly, the two touching as if they were in a slot.

The bath tub contained not Healing Medicine, but Medicinal Bath used in conjunction with the Ape Fist.

The injuries he sustained in the fight against the Mountain Ghost today have almost healed after taking the Flesh Mending Pill. Although he had bruises from sparring with Senior Brother Hu, they were not serious and did not require special treatment.

The medicinal power seeped into the body through the pores, strengthening it little by little.

After soaking in the brown medicinal liquid until it turned light yellow, Liang Qu got up, dried himself off, put on a pair of pants, and began practicing the Ape Fist.

The depleted Blood Qi was replenished, and the length and width subtly increased again, truly demonstrating remarkable effects.

After the activity, Liang Qu rinsed off the sweat with water, returned to his room, and lay down on the bed to fall into a deep sleep.

So much happened in one day, I'm exhausted.

The next morning.

Liang Qu asked Chen Jiechang to run an errand for him to ask the academy for leave, and then he and Hu Qi practiced together in the Martial Arts Field.

The apprentices sat around watching, cheering when Liang Qu made a brilliant counterattack and booing when he was knocked down again.

When Liang Qu was accepted as a disciple of the Yang clan, many apprentices were initially dissatisfied, feeling that they should be the ones doing the job, not some peasant from Yi Xing City.

But now more than half a month has passed, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only accept reality and slowly get used to it, and the atmosphere between the two sides has eased.

Many clever people wanted to invite Liang Qu to dinner to build a good relationship, but unfortunately, after Liang Qu became a disciple, he appeared less and less at the Martial Arts School, and they never found an opportunity.

Several apprentices were shouting "Keep it up!"

They joined later, and after hearing the story of Liang Qu, they were amazed and worshipped him as Celestial Person "idol".

"Looking forward" to the day when he too will encounter unfair treatment, dominate the battlefield, and be favored by a master.

That's normal. Most of the people who come to learn martial arts are supported by their parents. They are fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers with hot blood in their hearts, completely unaware of how much resentment and indignation is buried beneath their own aspirations.

"Hoo, drink."

Liang Qu was once again forced to retreat by Hu Qi. His skin was flushed red, he was panting heavily, and his vital Qi and Blood was completely depleted once more.

This morning was the first round, and now it's the second round.

Compared to last night when he collapsed at the first move, he can now unleash two or three moves without losing his strength, which is a huge improvement.

Hu Qi was also surprised. Cultivation talent does not mean fighting talent. There are many people who have the qualities but no ability to demonstrate them.

His skill level increases rapidly during regular training, but his legs tremble violently when it comes to actual combat.

Liang Qu has good combat skills and is making rapid progress. He has a fierce fighting style and absorbs experience quickly, like a cotton towel, always showing new abilities. He is a smart man.

Seeing Liang Qu stand up to continue, Hu Qi tapped the ground with his short stick and shook his head. "Let's stop here for now. It's already Wu Hour One Quarter. Let's eat first. After you eat, you should go to Senior Brother Lu's place. We'll practice again when you come back, and you can also recover your Qi and Blood."

Liang Qu turned to look at the water clock dripping from the bronze pot, and indeed it had risen to the midday position.

The apprentices dispersed in twos and threes.

After a long day of work, Liang Qu had a great appetite and followed Senior Brother Hu to start eating. He ate four bowls of rice and a lot of beef, feeling warm all over.

After finishing his meal, he bid farewell to Hu Qi and hurriedly headed to Senior Brother Lu's residence.

After waiting for half a month, the Spirit Weapon was finally about to make its initial appearance. Liang Qu was so excited that he could hardly contain his excitement.

The Blacksmith Shop remained quiet. Lu Gang did not stand in front of the large red furnace, but turned around and carved something on a mahogany table.

Upon closer inspection, it was a thin, grayish-brown leather.

Senior Brother Lu used an ink-dipped brush to draw mysterious patterns all over it, while Liang Qu stood quietly to the side, controlling his breathing, without disturbing him.

As the final stroke was completed, the entire leather shimmered with a silvery glow, and then the texture disappeared.

Lu Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "This is Bat Shadow Hide, which exists between illusion and reality. It can sneak into the shadows to feed on blood. Your spear shaping will depend on it later."

Liang Qu didn't understand why shaping required a piece of leather, but he just nodded without saying a word.

This experience will be a valuable asset; it's best to observe more and speak less.

When Lu Gang picked up the animal hide, he noticed that the texture of the hide was very strange, half-hidden and half-revealed, as if it were an illusion.

That's amazing.

Inside the giant red furnace, the Crimson Fire Mourning Feather had been activated, and a continuous stream of golden energy poured into the soft red metal at the top, while faint red threads also seeped out.

This must be what Senior Brother Lu meant when he said that Tungsten Gold phase, which means it only absorbs life energy and excludes fire energy.

At this point, the golden energy had weakened considerably, and the entire forging process was already at the end of the second stage.

The first stage is the softening of Tungsten Gold, followed by thousands of hammerings to remove impurities and increase toughness.

The second stage is to stimulate the energy within the mourning feathers, allowing it to be absorbed by the Tungsten Gold.

Just as the golden flames were about to flicker and disappear, Lu Gang handed over a dagger and a bowl.

"Blood! Half a bowl!"

Without saying a word, Liang Qu picked up the dagger and slashed his palm, blood gushing out.

That really hurts!

Liang Qu grinned and cut himself with a knife, especially when he was mentally prepared for it to be the most painful.

Half a bowl of blood quickly filled the bowl. Lu Gang inserted his hand into the water vat beside him, took the blood bowl, put something in it, and then sprinkled a handful of silver powder into the furnace.

With a loud bang, the temperature inside the furnace rose sharply, forcing Liang Qu to take a step back.

Lu Gang, however, reached his hand into the red-hot furnace and poured his blood onto the softened metal.

When the blood collides with the scalding metal, it bursts into a violent spray of blood.

A large red bird phantom suddenly flew out from the Tungsten Gold, seemingly trying to fight against the blood, but its remaining spirituality was like a tree without roots, unable to last long, and disappeared in just a moment.

The blood flowed onto the almost liquefied metal, without evaporating or drying into fragments, but simply seeped into it quietly, like half a bowl of blood poured onto cotton.

A faint sense of resonance rose in Liang Qu's heart.

Is this plasticity?

"It truly feels like another body is extending," Liang Qu thought to himself.

As soon as Lu Gang withdrew his hand, he flung out the Shadow Beast Skin. The entire skin automatically wrapped around the metal like a vampire Bat, its surface gleaming silver. The thin skin continuously contracted, gathered, and stretched.

They actually pulled a piece of metal into the shape of a spearhead! The twelve-inch spearhead, resembling half a sharp sword, was pulled out without any resistance, followed by the part that wrapped the shaft behind the spearhead, and the iron core extending from the middle!

Lu Gang reached out and grabbed a long box placed on the table. Inside were three wooden rods soaked in an unknown oil, two black and one white. He took out the white one and inserted it into the furnace! The unknown oil ignited instantly, burning from the tip to the entire rod. Lu Gang seemed to feel no pain as he inserted the rod into the iron core without any resistance.

After attaching the entire long wooden pole, Lu Gang Spear Tally to the end.

The Shadow Beast Skin, which originally only covered the spearhead, wriggled and wrapped around the shaft as well, extinguishing the oil fire as it climbed, and then remained still after wrapping.

About 15 minutes later, the Shadow Beast Skin, which had not moved at all, began to wriggle again. It withdrew from the part that was covering the spearhead and only covered the shaft. The rest of the skin hardened completely into a layer of shiny gray film.

Lu Gang Chang Song, took the spear out of the furnace, and handed it to Liang Qu.

"Alright."

Liang Qu: "???"
