After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Mian took another martial arts manual out of his Storage Ring.
It was a martial art he had looted from Lü Suhu's room in the General's Mansion.
Annihilation Ghost Halberd...
Once I open the ghost gate, the nature of my divine radiance qi will change completely. It will be almost impossible to see through to its true essence.
If I practice this halberd art too, I'll have another identity to hide behind later.
With Literary Heart, Carved Dragon, Lu Mian would not actually need much time to comprehend a new martial art.
Besides, saber and halberd arts both placed great emphasis on momentum, with sweeping, ferocious, brutal attacks. Practicing this one would feel perfectly natural to him.
Lu Mian quickly read through the martial art, summoned his Heavenly Halberd again, and walked out into the valley.
He had no idea what the Heavenly Halberd was actually called, so he simply gave it a new name: the Black Dragon Halberd.
"Annihilation: Flood Dragon Surges from the Sea!"
Holding the Black Dragon Halberd in both hands, Lu Mian thrust it fiercely forward.
Boom!!!
A terrifying surge of penetrating force erupted.
Without even using his mystic qi, Lu Mian punched clean through the distant cliff face.
"Not bad... again!"
Lu Mian grinned and resumed his practice.
Over the next few days, Lu Mian mastered the basics of the Annihilation Ghost Halberd, then devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivating the Divine Radiance Scripture.
Day and night, he absorbed sun true qi in the valley to temper his body.
Under the scorching heat of sun true qi, his body grew ever tougher. Some changes were even taking place without him noticing.
His blood, for instance...
Lu Mian discovered that his blood was already hotter than boiling water.
