The fact that his previous self was able to reach Zhenqi realm at such a young age was already a testament to his hard work. As for spear art, he had never even touched it before.
As an earthling, Zhang Xuan naturally had never touched it before.
"Never learned it before?" Wang Chong was taken aback.
If he had never learned it before, how could he discuss it?
By the side, Ouyang Cheng also had a bizarre expression on his face.
When he heard that Zhang Xuan wanted to learn spear art, he thought that Zhang Xuan had some foundation in it. Thus, he intentionally said that he would discuss it instead of learning it. Yet, to think that... he had never learned it before!
This was awkward!
If he had known that Wang Chong had never learned it before, he could have just found a spear art teacher. Why would he bother his old friend?
"It's like this. I have a student who wishes to learn spear art. I would like to learn it now so that I can teach him when I return..." Seeing that the others were looking at him, Zhang Xuan could only reveal his intentions.
"Learn it now? Teach him? "Wang Chong staggered and nearly fainted.
You must be joking!
A month with a rod, a year with a saber, a lifetime with a spear!
There were many people who started practicing spear art at a young age, but they were unable to master it for their entire life. Yet, you intend to impart it to your student without learning anything before...
Are you too gutsy, or do you think that spear art is too easy?
In an instant, Wang Chong's face darkened. His good impression of Zhang Xuan crumbled in an instant.
He had been practicing spear art his entire life and viewed spear as his life. He hated it when others looked down on him. Yet, this fellow wanted to fool his student without learning it before... This was an insult to the spear!
If not for him respecting the other party's identity as a 1-star apothecary and the face of his old friend, Ouyang Cheng, he would have chased him out.
Suppressing his displeasure, he said, "Spear art is difficult to learn and master. It is impossible to achieve anything in a short period of time. If you don't even know how to use it yourself, you might just mislead others by imparting it to them!"
His tone was already unpleasant to the ears.
"Er..." Seeing the other party's displeasure, Zhang Xuan knew that it was unrealistic to learn spear art from him. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Brother Wang, do you have any spear art books here? Can you lend them to me?"
"Read books?" Wang Chong frowned.
Spear art was a battle technique, and the various moves and movement techniques required the guidance of a heritage. If one could grasp it just by reading a book, there would be no need for him to train so painstakingly.
However, despite his doubts, seeing that Zhang Xuan had given up on his previous idea, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine as well. We can learn more from the books so we won't be reckless. I have a lot of these books. If you want to read them, I can take you there!
As a spear master, he had collected all of the spear manuals in the kingdom. As long as the spear manuals passed down in his family weren't leaked, it wouldn't hurt for him to browse through these basic knowledge.
"Many thanks!"
Zhang Xuan quickly nodded.
Spear arts were the same as cultivation arts. They required a long period of tempering, or else it would be impossible to achieve anything. However, he was different. As long as he had enough books, he would be able to form an even more powerful spear art. Learning it would also be much easier.
"This is my study room. It contains all of the books regarding spear arts in Tianxuan Kingdom, as well as some unique manuals of moves!"
When the three of them arrived at the study, Wang Chong pointed to the front with an arrogant expression.
In order to collect these books, he had paid a heavy price. In the end, his spear art had become more profound and formidable.
Zhang Xuan raised his head and looked at the seven to eight rows of bookshelves. They were filled with all kinds of books, and most of them were related to spear arts.
"Ouyang, it has been a long time since we last came. Let's go and have a drink!"
Knowing that reading books required time, Wang Chong didn't intend to stay here any longer. After instructing Zhang Xuan, he gestured for Ouyang Cheng.
"Alright!" The two of them walked out.
"Let's begin!"
Upon seeing them leave, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He walked up to the bookshelves and started flipping through them.
Hualalala!
The sound of flipping books echoed once more. All kinds of books appeared in his mind.
Of these books, some were on the basics, some were on the commonly used moves, and some were introductions... All in all, there were all kinds of books, covering almost every aspect of spear arts.
As expected of a spear master, his collection was truly rich.
Flipping through the books, it didn't take long for all of them to form in the Library of Heaven's Path. The seven to eight rows of bookshelves only amounted to a few thousand books. An hour later, Zhang Xuan was done flipping through all of them.
Standing quietly on the spot, Zhang Xuan digested the new spear art that had just appeared in his mind.
"The correct cultivation method..."
With a jolt of his mind, all of the spear art secret manuals gathered together and formed a book before him.
Zhang Xuan flipped through it.
"Weapons are an extension of one's arm. Only by mastering them to resemble one's arm can one be considered to have truly succeeded. The same goes for spear arts as well..."
The spear art secret manual that was compiled from so many books in the Library of Heaven's Path was vast and profound, giving one a feeling of enlightenment. While reading, Zhang Xuan used his hand as a spear and gestured with it.
Hu hu hu!
Driving his zhenqi, sharp glints of qi would appear at his fingertips from time to time. In an instant, it felt as though his entire body had turned into a spear. His back propped up the heavens, ready to pierce through the heavens at any moment.
The spear was known as the king of all weapons. In order to master it, one must first possess the disposition to pierce through the heavens and the disposition to look down upon the world.
Without undergoing countless trials and hardships and nurturing over a long period of time, it would be difficult to form such a disposition!
If anyone were to see the current Zhang Xuan, they would definitely exclaim in shock.
That was because he already possessed such disposition. Even though they couldn't tell whether his spear art was profound or not, just the aura he exuded was sufficient to shatter the confidence of many cultivators, causing them to lose in an instant.
Completely immersed in the book, Zhang Xuan was oblivious to all of this. His hands continued to gesture.
Tzzzzzzzzzzz!
Surge after surge of zhenqi gushed out from his fingers and landed on the ground, creating shallow pits of varying sizes.
It was fortunate that he held back his zhenqi. Otherwise, Wang Chong's study would have been destroyed by him, just like Master Lu Chen's.
After an unknown period of time, Zhang Xuan stopped. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and it extended into the distance like a white line.
"I mastered it?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
In this short period of time, he knew that he had already mastered the contents of the book in the library.
"Let's call it Heaven's Path Spear Art then!"
Weng!
The book shook and a name appeared on it … Heaven's Path Spear Art!
"It is a pity that there are too few books, and there are too many mistakes in them. I only managed to compile a single move!"
Zhang Xuan's face was filled with regret.
These books were the most basic of spear arts. The Library of Heaven's Path gathered the correct ones and compiled them into a single spear art.
"I wonder how much this move can increase my strength and prowess!"
Even though it was only a single move, after experiencing the Heaven's Path Divine Art and Heaven's Path Golden Body, he knew that it wasn't a simple move.
If he were to execute it, his fighting prowess would definitely soar by a huge margin.
"I'll pass it on to Zheng Yang when I return!"
Even though it was only a single move, Zhang Xuan didn't mind coming all the way here to learn the spear art and impart it to Zheng Yang.
As long as he were to learn it, his spear art would surely improve by leaps and bounds. Defeating that Mo Xiao shouldn't be a problem for him.
Anything created by the Heaven's Path is bound to be of the highest quality.
"Time to leave!"
After browsing through all of the books, Zhang Xuan found what he was looking for. Without any hesitation, he walked out of the room.
