"Immovable Mountain!" Lin Zhen repeated.
"That's right, Immovable Mountain is my martial skill. If you want to practice this martial skill, you must first have an extremely solid foundation. You have already practiced this point, but in the future, you still need to temper yourself. More importantly, you need to comprehend it."
"Comprehend? What do you mean? "
"Spear arts are broad and profound, it is a consummate skill that can be practiced for a lifetime. However, it also has its advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is the berserk attack, and it also has the defense of a long weapon. After you have thoroughly integrated all the basic spear arts, you can try to comprehend Immovable Mountain. As for the disadvantage, it is easy to be threatened by short weapons in close combat, which makes it less flexible, so you need to focus on practicing defensive skills."
"[Immovable Mountain] has three stages. The first stage is called [Spear Mountain]. The meaning of this stage is that you can fully display the characteristics of the spear as a long weapon. Imagine that the spear in your hand is a mountain, and you don't need to be afraid of any attack from your opponent. Whether it is a cool breeze or a fierce gale, what can it do to your spear mountain? Within three feet is a forbidden area, and no one can break through. "
Lin Zhen nodded. "No wonder. With your spear in hand, I feel like you're like an immovable mountain. I've already unleashed my speed in the battle just now, but I still couldn't break through your spear's defense. Is this what it means to have a spear like a mountain?"
"That's right, I have comprehended the first stage, Spear Mountain. As long as I have my spear, you will not be able to break through my defense. Of course, the difference in strength between the two sides can't be too great. If you continue to wildly attack for a while, my stamina will run out, and I will naturally lose. Moreover, I feel that you have not displayed your speed to the limit, otherwise I would not be able to resist. After all, the most unbeatable thing in the world is speed."
Zhang Guanyue wiped his sweat: "If you can comprehend Spear Mountain, then with your speed, as long as your opponent is not several times stronger than you, before your strength is exhausted, your opponent will not be able to break through your defense. Therefore, if you use this move, you will definitely be more powerful than me."
"Then what about the second stage?"
"I am also trying to figure out the second stage battle skill. I call it Body Like Mountain."
"Body like a mountain?"
"That's right. In the first realm, you still need to have a spear in your hand and use the spear as the foundation for your defense. But the second realm is different. Your body is like a mountain. You can use any weapon, even if you are bare-handed, your defense will be perfect. At that time, you will be able to get rid of your dependence on the spear. But I still haven't comprehended this realm. I don't think there's any hope for me in this lifetime," Zhang Guanyue said with a smile.
Lin Zhen nodded again. It seemed that this realm was even more difficult to comprehend.
"There's also the third level. The third level is called the Heart of a Mountain. At that time, even if you just stand there casually, you can give people a feeling of looking up to a tall mountain. There's no need to fight. Many people can't stand your aura and be suppressed by you. However, I also have a vague feeling about this. You can listen to it."
After Zhang Guanyue finished talking about the three realms, he patted Lin Zhen's shoulder and said, "You have already learned the basic skills of the spear art, so I have nothing else to teach you. Tomorrow, there is still one more day, so you can stay in my courtyard and comprehend the [Spear Mountain]. As long as you succeed, you can be considered to have graduated, but if you fail …."
"What is considered to have succeeded? What is considered to have failed? "
"Success is very simple. Do you see that pine tree in the courtyard? You can dance your spear art under the tree, and the pine needles will fall. If none of the pine needles fall to the ground within three feet of you, then you can be considered to have succeeded. If any pine needles fall to your body or fall to the ground, then you can be considered to have failed. "
Lin Zhen glanced at the tree, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I fail, I will still give you the ten million."
"Hehe, I didn't mean that … I mean … I'm sweating all over, so I'm going to take a bath first."
Zhang Guanyue's thoughts were seen through, and he turned around and left with some embarrassment.
Lin Zhen didn't enter the house, but instead walked to a huge pine tree in the courtyard.
This tree was the only tree in the courtyard. According to Zhang Guanyue, he didn't want to move because he couldn't bear to part with this tree.
This tree was really good. It was as tall as a five-six story building, and as thick as seven or eight people hugging it. The pine needles on it were still green.
Lin Zhen leaned against the tree. A gentle breeze blew, and the night gradually deepened.
He still held the Black Dragon Spear in his hand.
"Comprehension is definitely not an easy thing. Zhang Guanyue only told me his experience, but it might not necessarily be suitable for me. There are thousands of ways to practice martial arts, but in the end, they will all lead to the same destination. I just need to find the most suitable way for myself."
"The spear in my hand is my partner. It is my most trusted and intimate partner. Since I have chosen the path of practicing the spear, then I must persevere."
"It doesn't matter if it's a wooden spear or a golden spear. As long as I believe in it and believe in myself, it can protect me, kill my enemies, and fight for me. Even if we can't understand each other, I must treat it as a part of me, and not just a simple weapon."
As Lin Zhen was thinking, the moon was high in the sky. Zhang Guanyue came out to see Lin Zhen once, then turned around and walked back into the house. He had a feeling that perhaps this Lin Zhen could really create a miracle. This was a martial arts genius.
Lin Zhen sat there motionless for an entire night. It wasn't until dawn appeared in the east that Lin Zhen opened his eyes.
"I seem to understand. The 'Immovable Mountain' of the spear is the 'One with the Spear'. The spear is a part of the body. Combined with my outstanding nerve reaction, my unparalleled speed, and all my defenses are in place. This is the 'Immovable Mountain'!"
"Of course, I still want to try the 'One with the Spear'!"
Lin Zhen suddenly stood up from the tree. The spear in his hand began to dance.
He didn't use any offensive moves. His hands were waving, blocking, lifting, hanging, slashing, and other defensive moves.
The dancing speed became faster and faster. As Lin Zhen's dancing speed increased, the pine needles on the tree began to fall.
One pine needle, ten pine needles, a hundred pine needles.
Although it was winter, pine trees were not afraid of the cold. There were countless pine needles on the tree, and they fell like raindrops.
The area of three feet around Lin Zhen was his defensive range. Every pine needle was an attack. He couldn't let any pine needle fall.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen had already shot down fifty pine needles.
A rain of spear strikes, and a pine needle fell on the ground in front of Lin Zhen.
"I failed. If this is an enemy's attack, then it has already broken through my defense."
"Pine needles fall very quickly. Moreover, they are somewhat erratic. If I miss them by a bit, I won't be able to hit them. This kind of defense is very difficult."
"But if it's not difficult, then wouldn't anyone be able to comprehend it?"
Lin Zhen took a deep breath and began his second attempt.
This time, Lin Zhen shot down seventy pine needles before failing.
"Still not enough. Again!"
The third time, Lin Zhen shot down a hundred pine needles, but one still fell on his shoulder.
The fourth time, a hundred and fifty …
The fifth time …
From dawn to sunrise, from sunrise to noon, and from noon to dusk, Lin Zhen only ate a meal at noon. The rest of the time was spent on spear practice.
As the sun set, Lin Zhen's movements did not slow down. Instead, they became even faster.
With every spear strike, the pine needles would be easily swept away. His strength was not small, but it was not small either. The pine needles had already piled up to a foot thick around him, but there was not a single pine needle within the three feet radius.
"This is the feeling! This is the feeling! "
"I've found the feeling of a mountain. My spear is like a mountain. These pine needles can't do anything to a mountain. This is the realm of a spear like a mountain!"
"But I still feel that I'm lacking a bit. The number of pine needles falling is becoming less and less. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to truly comprehend. I need to attack more fiercely. It would be great if it could rain at this time. Right now, I have a feeling that even if a rainstorm were to fall, I would be able to shoot down every single drop of rain within the three feet radius!"
Just as Lin Zhen's feeling became more and more intense, Zhang Guanyue, who had not appeared for a day, finally appeared.
He held a large basin in his hand. The basin was filled with water, and it was black water.
Zhang Guanyue walked towards Lin Zhen with large strides. He held the basin and roared: "Lin Zhen, this is the water I use to wash my feet. If a single drop falls on your clothes, you will get the hell out of here!"
"Splash!"
The basin of black water poured down. The sky was filled with black water, and it was even more violent than a rainstorm.
Lin Zhen, who had already reached the final step of his cultivation, shouted loudly. The spear in his hand suddenly danced wildly. Its speed was several times faster than before.
Every movement was on point. Every attack was without the slightest mistake. At this moment, in Lin Zhen's eyes, these water droplets were his enemies. He could not let any of them go.
Only a flash of light could be seen. Traces of electricity surged. In an instant, everything returned to calm.
Lin Zhen withdrew his spear. His chest was violently heaving up and down.
Three feet around him, the pine needles were all wet. But within three feet of him, not a single drop of water could be seen on the ground!
"Bang!"
