"Ah? Spear... Spear Intent? "
Wang Chong's body swayed and he nearly fainted on the spot.
Are you for real?
How can you execute Spear Intent, and such a pure one at that!
Shocked, looking at the embarrassed look on Zhang Xuan's face, he nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
Embarrassed? What are you embarrassed about!
Brother, don't play with me like that. Didn't you say that you haven't learned any spear arts? Don't you know what spear arts are?
I started learning spear arts when I was eight, and it has been forty years since then. I have immersed myself in the art of spear arts, but I am still a long way from mastering Spear Intent... Explain to me, what in the world is this powerful Spear Intent?
Didn't you say that you don't know what Spear Intent is? What in the world is this?
Wang Chong's tears flowed uncontrollably.
You can't play with me like that!
It was laughable that he had reprimanded the other party so confidently. Since the other party didn't understand, any explanation would be in vain...
Where did his confidence come from?
Or rather, he was the one who didn't understand...
If there was a hole in the ground, he would dive into it immediately.
"This is Spear Intent?"
Ouyang Cheng was also dumbfounded.
His old friend was panting and sweating profusely after executing a little Spear Intent, as though he had been constipated for several days. On the other hand, this fellow executed it effortlessly, as though it was as simple as eating and drinking...
Are you the spear master or Wang Chong?
"You... Didn't you say that you haven't learned any spear arts?"
Unable to take it any longer, Ouyang Cheng asked. Wang Chong also hurriedly turned to look at the other party, curious to hear his explanation.
"I have never learned it before!" Zhang Xuan replied honestly.
"If you haven't learned it before, how can you possess such powerful Spear Intent?" Wang Chong was on the verge of going insane.
You haven't learned any spear arts before, yet you are able to unleash such powerful Spear Intent. On the other hand, I have been trying to learn it every day, but I am still half-baked. According to you, all my years of cultivation have gone to waste...
"Oh, I was reading in the study just now, and I felt that it was the most comfortable to execute a spear art in such a state. Thus, I accidentally executed it. I didn't know that it was Spear Intent!"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before replying.
Zhang Xuan wasn't feigning ignorance. The books in the room only recorded the most basic of spear arts, and none of them touched upon Spear Intent. It was through the Heaven's Path Spear Art that Zhang Xuan managed to condense from these books that he was fortunate enough to possess this disposition.
As for how to use the Spear Intent, and how it would be useful to those who practiced the Spear Intent, he had no idea at all.
Tears streamed down Wang Chong's face.
You make it sound like eating and drinking. Do you know how much effort I've put in to achieve that?
For the past decade or so, I've been training myself. I've even ventured into barren lands to overcome the harsh cold and scorching heat. I've been trying to strengthen my will, but I've never succeeded. You, on the other hand, just casually made yourself comfortable … and you've achieved it!
My heart, my lungs, my youth!
Wang Chong felt that if there was a hole in front of him, he would definitely jump in and bury himself alive.
Could you not strike a blow like that?
If you had said that you had spent a lot of effort, cultivating all day and accidentally achieved a breakthrough, I would have felt a little better. But in the end, you only read for a short while, at most two hours, and then … and then you suddenly achieved a breakthrough …
Most importantly, what you're looking at isn't some profound secret manual, it's just the most basic spear art …
If this matter were to spread out, all of the spear masters in the capital would die of shame.
"Wang Chong, it's true that a person's talent is different. Apothecary Zhang … might be talented in the spear!" Seeing his old friend in a daze, Ouyang Cheng couldn't help but console him.
"Alright, that's the only way!"
As expected of a spear expert, his mental fortitude was as tough as steel. Even though he was disappointed, he was still able to adjust his state of mind quickly. Just as he was about to speak, the doubtful voice of the young man sounded once more.
"You said that I have comprehended Spear Intent, but what's the use of Spear Intent?"
Wang Chong's body swayed once more. Forcefully suppressing his mental breakdown, he said, "Spear Intent is the comprehension of the spear. It means that one has already treated the spear as an extension of one's arm. Under such circumstances, the casual execution of the spear is a manifestation of one's mastery of the spear!"
"The casual execution of the spear is a manifestation of the spear?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. "That's great! If my student could comprehend Spear Intent as well, he would surely be able to emerge victorious in the tournament!"
Since Spear Intent was so incredible, he would have to guide Zheng Yang properly when he returned so that he would possess such a state of mind as well. This way, even if he didn't possess a profound spear art, he would still be invincible.
"You want your student to comprehend it as well?" Wang Chong trembled.
Spear Intent is a person's understanding of the spear. Do you think that everyone is as perverted as you, achieving a breakthrough just by reading a book?
He wanted to dispel the other party's ignorant thoughts, but he didn't know where to start.
"Right, I have just comprehended a spear art from a book. I wonder how powerful it is. Since Brother Wang is a spear master, can you offer me some pointers?"
Zhang Xuan didn't know much about Spear Intent, so he wasn't as astonished as the other party. Recalling the attack formed from the Heaven's Path Spear Art, he couldn't help but ask.
The person before him was a famous spear master in the kingdom. If he were to offer pointers, he would definitely be able to tell the difference between good and bad.
"You have comprehended a spear art as well? Alright, I would like to see what kind of move a genius like you can comprehend! "
Wang Chong nodded his head and instructed a servant to fetch a spear.
Soon, two spears were brought over.
"The only way to test the prowess of a move is through a real battle! Apothecary Zhang, show me the move that you have comprehended! " With a spear in hand, Wang Chong seemed to have transformed into a different person. His aura was imposing and ferocious, as though a primordial beast that would charge out at any moment.
In his view, even though the other party had comprehended Spear Intent, regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or mastery of the spear, it was impossible for the other party to match up to him. Even if the other party had any moves, he would be able to deal with them easily.
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan also wanted to try out a move, so he casually grabbed the other spear.
Ever since he was young, he had never held a spear in his hands. However, after comprehending Spear Intent, he felt a sense of familiarity.
"It's starting!"
The moment this feeling appeared, Zhang Xuan's aura surged. From the appearance of an ordinary youngster, he had turned into an expert who looked down on the world.
Hu!
Moving his feet, the spear flew out from his palm.
This spear art was something he had obtained from the thousands of secret manuals in the Library of Heaven's Path. Even though it was only a single move, it was simplified to the point that it conformed to the essence of the world. Executing this move, zhenqi surged throughout his body and the spear seemed as though a massive dragon emerging from the sea.
"What?"
Initially, Wang Chong didn't think much of it. However, upon seeing the spear flying toward him, he felt his hair stand on end and his soul nearly left his body.
Even though this move looked simple, ugly, and didn't have the slightest bit of elegance to speak of, it concentrated the cultivator's essence, spirit, and strength into a single point before erupting forth. It was simply … simply … the most brilliant move of spear techniques!
Boom!
Without any time to think, Wang Chong exerted all of his strength and faced the spear with his spear.
Exerting his full strength, his cultivation realm was revealed as well... Fighter 7-dan Tongxuan realm advanced stage!
Ding ding ding!
The two spears collided in midair and a devastating shockwave blew the surroundings as though blades were slicing through it.
Deng deng deng deng!
Zhang Xuan retreated seven to eight steps before coming to a halt. On the other hand, Wang Chong stood motionlessly on the spot.
It was clear who was stronger in this simple clash.
Zhang Xuan didn't use his full strength and suppressed his strength to 40 ding. Naturally, he was unable to withstand the might of a Tongxuan realm advanced stage expert.
However, his physical body was strong and his zhenqi was pure. Even though he was forced back, he didn't suffer any injuries.
"As expected of a spear master, incredible!"
Seeing how the other party was able to withstand a move created by the Heaven's Path so easily, Zhang Xuan was impressed.
He was impressed. On the other hand, Wang Chong nearly fainted from fright.
The other party's seemingly simple spear actually forced him to use all of his trump cards. More importantly... Even though he didn't move his feet and seemed to have the upper hand, he felt a stifling sensation in his chest and his blood flow stagnated. Clearly, he had sustained severe injuries.
If not for him forcefully holding himself back, he would have spurted a mouthful of blood.
One must know that he was... a Tongxuan realm advanced stage expert while the other party was only at Pixue realm... There was an entire realm of difference between the two.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a cultivator of a higher cultivation realm to fight.
Of course, if he were to know that the young man before him had only used less than half of his strength, who knew what he would think?
"This move is incredible..."
After adjusting his breathing for a long time, Wang Chong couldn't help but praise the other party.
Not only was it amazing, it was simply amazing!
He had always thought of himself as a genius and had created quite a few spear techniques. However, compared to this move, they were trash. It was like the difference between dung and a gem!
"That's good. I will be imparting this move to my student. Brother Wang, can you help me out to see if there are any problems so that I can correct them?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Problem..." Wang Chong's face reddened.
Apothecary Zhang, are you here to slap my face?
Putting aside the fact that you have comprehended Spear Intent and are able to execute spear techniques with just a casual wave of your hand, more importantly, this move... I don't even understand it, how can I guide you?
As a spear master, to be unable to even understand how the other party executed his move and how he attacked... He felt so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide.
"This move... There's no problem with it. You can just impart it to your student!"
After saying those words, Wang Chong felt his face burning once more.
Two hours ago, he thought that the young man before him didn't understand spear art and was insulting it. But now... he felt that he was the one who was insulting it.
The other party had only studied for two hours and not only did he comprehend Spear Intent, he even created such an incredible spear art. On the other hand, he had practiced the spear for more than forty years, but he was still trash...
In an instant, he felt a mouthful of blood gathering in his chest, ready to spurt out at any moment.
After the awkwardness, a bold idea popped up in his mind.
The other party's move contained the essence of Spear Intent. If he could learn it, he might be able to break through the final bottleneck and comprehend Spear Intent.
"Apothecary Zhang, can you... teach me this move?"
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Chong asked with a reddened face.
"You want to learn it? Alright, I can teach you! "
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he smiled.
When Ouyang Cheng heard the conversation between the two, he could not help but stagger.
Wasn't Zhang Xuan here to learn spear art from Wang Chong today?
Why... did he end up with a different one?
