The Spear Practitioner Isn't a Bad Person

As they spoke, the vehicle entered a base.

From a distance, a man of medium build stood like a spear, his gaze cold and his aura profound, as if he had just emerged from a fierce battle, with a faint trace of blood qi visible.

Beside him, a spear stood upright. It was about 2.2 meters long, and its blood-red shaft didn't look gory, but rather possessed a romantic, rose-like hue.

The man and the spear stood there with an ultimate sense of harmony, as if they were naturally meant to be.

Su Bei's eyes lit up.

What a spear!

How strong!

The feeling Su Bei got from this man was even greater than from Li Xiongshan. Just standing there, he exuded an incredibly powerful presence, and the spear seemed capable of piercing through a person's life at any moment.

Since arriving in this world, he had never seen such a master of spear techniques. The man and his spear seemed inseparable; this was the realm of "man and spear as one," a state only achievable after reaching perfection.

Su Bei felt a joy akin to meeting a kindred spirit.

"That's our captain," Zhao Fei said as he got out of the car, a hint of pride on his face. "A powerhouse from the Fifth Order Tongqiao Sect, Lu Yingyue, a true master of spear techniques!"

"It seems he's been waiting impatiently; he's even come to the entrance to greet us."

"The captain's temper isn't the best, so be respectful when you get closer. He's obsessed with spears, and you can ask him for guidance when you have time..."

Wang Zelu also had a pleased expression. Greeting them at the entrance was a small display of status in the eyes of Su Bei, the newcomer. He turned and instructed Su Bei.

But before he could finish speaking.

A sudden explosion!

Boom!

Lu Yingyue shot forward, his spear whistling sharply, as if an army of specters were marching, emitting a mighty roar.

"It seems he's here for me."

At the same time, the young man he had found quiet and somewhat timid on the way had his eyes shining brightly.

He hadn't even seen how the spear got into his hand. The next moment, as if a beast had been released from its cage, the ground trembled, a streak of rainbow light appeared, and he had already collided with Lu Yingyue!

Clang!

The two spears met instantly, sparks scattering and shattering!

Clang clang clang!

As if they shared some unspoken understanding, only spear shadows could be seen clashing in the air, the dazzling spear flowers mesmerizing. Su Bei's figure moved repeatedly, his spear seeming like an extension of his arm, darting and colliding wantonly. The Piercing Sun Spear Technique was pushed to its absolute limit!

Each thrust was as fast as lightning, with points of light illuminating the air. The pale purple spear body and the rose-red spear tip clashed back and forth!

"What's going on...?!"

Wang Zelu watched, dumbfounded. They had never expected this situation!

They had only just met, why were they fighting already?!

"Don't talk, I'm thinking," Zhao Fei felt his lips were a bit dry. "Is the captain testing Su Bei's strength?"

"And, haven't you noticed?"

"This kid's spear technique... it's already at the Great Accomplishment stage?!"

How old was he?!

His spear technique had reached Great Accomplishment, which meant if this kid was given some time, reaching Perfection was almost a certainty, and he might even have a chance to touch upon the realms beyond that!

Back then, he had thought the Heavenly Lake Military Department was quite considerate, even bringing out a lightweight shuttle specifically to pick someone up. Now he finally understood... it was simply because the person had the strength and fought for it himself!

The clash of their spear techniques continued. Lu Yingyue consciously controlled his strength, his spear techniques mostly defensive, guiding Su Bei's offense.

Su Bei, naturally, did not hold back, unleashing his spear techniques and showcasing his strength freely.

"So strong!"

However, even though he was using his full strength, the force Lu Yingyue was using was still considerably lighter than his. Su Bei was at a complete disadvantage. His proud spear speed seemed to have countless openings in the eyes of his opponent, often disappearing like a stone sinking into the sea.

To be honest, he hadn't enjoyed using his spear technique this much in a long time. His opponents either fell before he could even exert himself, or they didn't focus on spear techniques, so his skills were useless when they attacked.

But across from him, Lu Yingyue was no less surprised than Su Bei.

This blood qi is too dense, it's a bit exaggerated!

If he didn't know Su Bei's background completely, he would truly suspect that this person was also a fourth or fifth-order Martial Artist, suppressing his strength to fight him.

Boom!

Lu Yingyue exerted a slight force with his hand. Su Bei felt a powerful surge of force hit him, and he flipped backward several times to dissipate the impact, then withdrew his spear and stood his ground.

"That's enough."

Lu Yingyue looked at Su Bei's perfect dissipation of force, a striking look of admiration in his eyes.

He could tell that Su Bei's foundation in spear techniques was excellent. It would absolutely take over ten years of arduous training to reach this level.

"Brother Xiong really didn't lie to me, and it was worth waiting for so long."

"Su Bei, is it? You're quite good."

One of Lu Yingyue's life principles: there are no bad guys among spear practitioners—except for American Iaijutsu.

Su Bei nodded slightly. "Thank you for the guidance, Captain Lu."

It seemed Lu Yingyue and Li Xiongshan knew each other. Calling him "Brother Xiong" suggested they were quite close.

"You two, follow along as well." Lu Yingyue nodded, signaling for the others to follow. Zhao Fei and Wang Zelu exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"You should know the detailed situation, but there have been new developments. The spatial fluctuations in the Shattered Battlefield have been significant. According to monitoring, the dimensional wall will tear open in about three days."

"So, time is of the essence."

"Your mission is to eliminate the Starry Sky Alien Beasts within this Shattered Battlefield and prevent them from accelerating their evolution by relying on it. I'll explain the details later."

Su Bei's expression grew more serious. He had expected to have at least another half a month to prepare, but it seemed plans couldn't keep up with changes.

"Captain, did this change happen so quickly? Could it be a special kind of existence?" Wang Zelu's tone became considerably more serious. "Xiao Bei just arrived; isn't the timing a bit tight? He hasn't practiced any techniques or tactics. Do we need to replace him?"

Zhao Fei looked at Wang Zelu with surprise.

Good kid, he changed his address pretty quickly. Just a moment ago it was Su Bei, Su Bei, and now he's calling him Xiao Bei?

"No need. No one is more suitable than Su Bei. Techniques and tactics are just icing on the cake. If it really is one of those special existences, they need to be eliminated quickly, which requires raw strength."

Lu Yingyue had already tested Su Bei's strength and knew his capabilities. If Su Bei wasn't enough, no one else would be.

"By the way, Su Bei, you'll be the captain of the team. Is that alright?"

"No problem." Su Bei readily agreed. He had mentioned it in the car earlier. It seemed there were some benefits to being captain, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a rush for it.

It had never been finalized. While he didn't know how Lu Yingyue had such confidence without even meeting him, it seemed this captain position had always been reserved for him.

It couldn't just be because he practices the spear, could it?

"This..."

Wang Zelu was a bit surprised. Su Bei's strength was indeed good, but those other people weren't useless either; their spear techniques had also reached the Great Accomplishment realm. "Will those four agree?"

Lu Yingyue glanced at Su Bei. "Do you think they'll agree?"

Su Bei nodded, slinging his spear behind his back, and said calmly, "I believe they will. I'll give them a reason they can't refuse."

"Very good."

Wang Zelu: ...

Zhao Fei: ...

That arrogant?

We can understand the captain's confidence, but why is Su Bei so confident too?

Is it because he practices the spear?

Lu Yingyue, however, looked at the two of them with some surprise. "How do you do your jobs?"

"Su Bei didn't tell you that his boxing martial arts realm is Perfection?"

Thanks to the reader [1257] for the reward. The performance has declined a bit in the last two days, likely due to the excessive chapters. All the transitional chapters are now complete. I'm still asking for your continued readership. Even if you don't read them, just skip to the end of the chapter while you're waiting. Please, everyone. The plot is about to unfold soon. Thank you.
