"I'm not used to wielding something like that. I'll pass..."
Yun Qingyi looked at the spear shaft, thicker than his own arm, and began to have doubts. Whether he could even grip it was another question. A few swings would probably leave him half dead with exhaustion. He was better off using his own Twin Truncheons.
"Ah, all right, then!"
Ying Ming Hao sighed helplessly and hoisted the enormous spear onto his shoulder. A thud rang out, and a lump instantly rose on the head of Gu Xinghai, who had been eavesdropping behind him. The blow left him reeling.
"Oh dear, heavens above!
Brother Gu, what on earth happened to you?!
Who had the nerve to ambush you?!
Quick, quick, come here! Your big brother has some first-rate Spirit Elixirs!
Take one right away! I guarantee it'll cure what ails you, with results as immediate as a pole's shadow in the sun!"
His face full of concern, Ying Ming Hao hurriedly turned and leaned in to inspect the damage as he spoke, completely forgetting the enormous spear still resting on his shoulder!
Meanwhile, Zhao Bufan stood nearby, rubbing the back of his head in a daze. He had never anticipated this sudden turn of events.
Caught completely off guard, he was swept by the enormous spear in Ying Ming Hao's hands. His head spun and stars danced before his eyes, while a deafening roar seemed to reverberate through his skull-buzz... buzz... buzz...
Fortunately, Yun Qingyi reacted swiftly. Like an exceptionally nimble little rabbit, he darted aside with the speed of thunder striking before one could cover one's ears, escaping this unprovoked calamity.
"I... I'm fine... Thank you so much for your kindness and concern, Junior Brother Ying... We really shouldn't waste any more of everyone's precious time... Why don't
