Chapter 394

The appearance of Xue this time had a huge impact on Chen Ang. He had not expected that this person, Xue, possessed such terrifying strength; with just a single strike, she had frozen his legs, leaving him with no power to fight back.

It seems that, as Kuang Ying said, there are many geniuses, and to reach a higher realm, one must put in a great deal of effort.

The Dean also saw through Chen Ang's thoughts, came to his side, and couldn't help but say: "I know what you, kid, are thinking. Sometimes, you really have to admit that some people are much stronger than you."

"You should have a plan regarding Xue's strength. Do you really think you can grow to her level within a year? Take my advice: do not suppress the realm within your body; obediently reach the Spirit Realm, and there will still be a glimmer of hope."

Chen Ang laughed and said: "Dean, please rest assured. I believe that even in the Spirit Realm, I can do better than Xue. With a year's time, the outcome is not yet decided, and that is enough for me to surpass her."

"Good lad, it is this ambition that I want. From now on, the Wuqu Academy will do its best to satisfy any needs you have. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it."

"Some people have experienced too many setbacks, and their competitive spirit has been worn away. You don't need to worry; the road ahead is still very long."

After the Dean left, Chen Ang began to cultivate with all his might. Wan Shitong did not fall behind either; after absorbing the Purple Abyss Fruit, his spirit was greatly improved, and his mastery of the Flame Clone was just right.

He found Chen Ang and said: "Boss, you don't need to be depressed. Xue's strength is just that formidable, and it is truly very difficult to surpass her. The only thing you can do is to improve your own strength as much as possible and not waste any time."

"I know you have some resentment in your heart and are feeling down, but given the current situation, you must find a way to make a decision. You need to have a plan and rules for those things."

"I am not so easily defeated. The resources of Wuqu Academy are not bad. In the future, I would like to compete with the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking to see if they truly have that kind of strength."

"During this period, I plan to go find Master Wu Tian. Under constant tempering, I clearly felt that my physical strength was not strong enough when Xue attacked me, and my cultivation has now reached a bottleneck."

"But my own physical body is a bit too weak and cannot reach the limit that a Tier 9 can withstand. This is something I urgently need to change."

Master Wu Tian looked at Chen Ang and laughed: "You kid, I have also heard about Xue. The gap between you and her is indeed quite large, and I cannot guarantee you will beat Xue one hundred percent."

"What I can do is to try my best to raise your physical strength to the limit. People, in this life, will encounter many difficulties; if a difficulty can be overcome, then it is not a difficulty."

"Just like the storms you have experienced along the way, you should also understand that as long as you have a goal and direction in your heart, you will definitely succeed in catching up."

"Look at me; I have no cultivation at all, yet relying solely on body refinement, I can be considered one of the best in Wuqu Academy. If you truly cultivate hard, there will be absolutely no problem."

Chen Ang laughed: "Master, thank you for your encouragement. I feel much better now."

"Alright, my requirement for you today is very simple: seal all of your cultivation and kill the wild boars I keep as a mortal."

"When a person has no cultivation, their physical strength will be reduced. These wild boars happen to be incredibly strong. Don't underestimate them, kid; their surface defense is extremely astonishing."

"Even if your body has been tempered so many times, you must be very careful. There are more than thirty wild boars in my courtyard. A month's time is enough for you to train. Believe me, you will definitely approve of this training method."

"Your physical strength has a lot of room for improvement. What you need to do is kill this wild boar before sunset."

Chen Ang laughed: "Hehe, I would like to see how powerful this wild boar is. Is it really as formidable as you say, Master?"

Chen Ang prepared in advance. Seeing the wild boar eating fodder there, he pounced over. Sensing the crisis, the boar dodged with a flash. He hadn't expected the boar to be so agile, so he chose not to be careless again.

He began to launch attacks at the wild boar continuously. On the side, Wu Tian began to urge: "Kid, I told you, this is not an ordinary wild boar. Don't underestimate the enemy. You still won't listen. Use your real strength and find the right time to fight."

The skin on the wild boar was very tough and had a huge rebounding ability, which could reduce damage. The next few attacks were all in vain, and he was even found by the wild boar and attacked several times. Bruises appeared all over his body, and his momentum weakened somewhat.

Wu Tian urged: "You kid, don't be confused by the surface phenomena of things. Everyone has their own weaknesses, just like Xue; even as a powerhouse, she must have her weaknesses."

"You haven't discovered them yet. This wild boar is about the same. What you need to do is find its weakness and defeat it. You don't need me to teach you these principles, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Ang laughed: "Master, please rest assured. Believe me, if I can't even deal with a wild boar, then don't say I'm your disciple when I go out; it feels a bit shameful."

He directly started to attack the wild boar again. In the process of attacking, he was also constantly probing and attacking in different directions, but found that none of it was of much use.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and laughed: "Wait, I think I know where the wild boar's weakness is. If I'm not mistaken, the weakness is under its neck."

He directly punched under the wild boar's neck, and the entire wild boar died instantly. Wu Tian laughed on the side: "You kid are indeed not bad. The wild boar's weakness is under its neck. I am very gratified that you could react in such a short time."

"Let's go, I'll treat you to wild boar meat tonight. This kind of wild boar contains a trace of Black Tortoise bloodline, which is of great use to you. In two days, I will protect its weakness with iron skin."

"What you need to do next is to knock down the wild boar with your absolute strength. Do you hear me?"

Chen Ang knew this was to exercise his explosive power, so he helplessly agreed.

"Good lad, that's how it should be. As a powerhouse, you must face difficulties head-on. Not seeing you dejected proves that you, kid, are constantly improving."

"This wild boar meat is something I spent a lot of effort to cultivate. I believe that with the help of these thirty-plus wild boars, your body will have great progress in tempering."

"Back then, to get this wild boar meat, I spent a lot of effort. The Dean even wanted to try a wild boar with a trace of Black Tortoise bloodline, but I refused him."

"To make you stronger, I have paid a lot. Remember in the future, never let me down, and do not give up when encountering difficulties."

384: Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations

After this period of continuous cultivation, coupled with the help of the wild boar meat containing a trace of Black Tortoise bloodline, Chen Ang's physical strength was greatly improved.

Now he had the confidence to fight Kuang Ying, but he still had certain deficiencies when facing Xue, and he still needed to constantly improve his strength.

Wu Tian called him aside and said: "Stinky brat, I want to ask you a question next: do you want to become a true powerhouse?"

Chen Ang nodded and said: "Master, there is a problem with what you said. Who wouldn't want to become a true powerhouse?"

"Let me tell you, there is a weapon in our Wuqu Academy called the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations. If you can obtain that divine artifact, it will be of great help to you."

"The Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear is powerful, but you want to walk a longer path, and the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear is not suitable for you. After the modification by the Master Craftsman, it has indeed changed somewhat."

"But due to the influence of the material itself, there are too many limitations to break through. The Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations is the weapon of a senior in our Wuqu Academy, and its material is extremely special."

"If you can obtain the recognition of the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations, you will definitely make progress. I also understand that you, kid, have a unique understanding of this weapon, but given the current situation, I hope you can consider it seriously."

Chen Ang laughed and said: "If I can constantly become stronger, then I am willing to do whatever it takes. Since your opinion, Master, is to choose to obtain the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations, then I will try to pass the test."

"Good, this is the answer I was waiting for. You go and discuss it with the Dean to see if it's feasible. You can only enter that place with the Dean's consent."

"Of course, you can call Wan Shitong along. Perhaps for Wan Shitong, it can be considered a stroke of luck; that kid has always been lucky."

The two came to the Dean's room and told him everything about the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations. The Dean was extremely shocked after hearing it.

He helplessly said: "Sigh, this kid Wu Tian is really something; he dares to say anything. You must think clearly; it is very difficult to obtain the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations."

"Few people in Wuqu Academy have been able to obtain ancient divine artifacts over so many years. You must be mentally prepared. All things have spirits; if you can obtain its recognition, it is a good thing."

"Weapons forged by the Master Craftsman are the best, but they cannot be compared with the ancient Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations. Only this kind of ancient divine artifact can unleash your true power."

The two came to the entrance of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. The guardian of the Divine Weapon Pavilion laughed and said: "What are you two kids doing here? Anyone is strictly forbidden from entering here. Leave quickly."

Taking out the Dean's token, the guardian laughed and said: "You two kids remember, after entering the Divine Weapon Pavilion, you will see all kinds of weapons. Choose your target in advance. If you win the fight against the weapon, you will be able to obtain its recognition. Remember, you only have one chance, so be sure to consider it carefully."

"Senior, I want to know where the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations is located. I want to obtain it."

"Good lad, your ambition is not small. In the depths of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, there are ten golden weapons, and the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations is one of them."

"If you can obtain the recognition of the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations and become its master, it can also be considered winning glory for Wuqu Academy."

"Remember, gold is an ancient divine artifact, and the quality of other colors is slightly worse. If you don't obtain the gold one, you must find a way to obtain other treasures; you absolutely cannot return empty-handed."

The two entered the Divine Weapon Pavilion and were dazzled by the various glowing weapons. They walked to the deepest part and looked at the weapons emitting golden light.

Wan Shitong said: "Boss, if I'm not mistaken, the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations should be up there. Let's go over and take a look."

As soon as Chen Ang arrived up there, he indeed saw the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations. Just as he was preparing to pick it up, he was suddenly blinded by a golden light.

A phantom appeared, holding the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations, and began to attack Chen Ang. He took out the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear to fight it.

Wan Shitong urged on the side: "Boss, you must be careful. This is the test given to you by the spear spirit of the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations. Handle it carefully."

"If you feel that you are in danger of your life and cannot resist, put down the weapon in your hand, and the test of the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations will disappear."

"You will waste this opportunity. Remember, never give up easily; this is your only chance."

Hearing what Wan Shitong said, Chen Ang began to clash head-on with the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations. He wanted to see what the gap between the two was.

After a few rounds of fighting, he could clearly feel that the surface of the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear had suffered certain damage, and cracks began to appear.

This made Chen Ang's mind race. One must know that the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear was a treasure obtained from the Secret Realm, and with the Master Craftsman's modification, it had reached a very formidable level.

But when facing this kind of ancient divine artifact, the power produced was self-evident; the gap was indeed quite large.

As the speed of the two fighting became faster and faster, the power of the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations became more and more formidable. With no other choice, he began to constantly use the terrain to his advantage to block it.

Finding a suitable opportunity, he gathered all his power onto the weapon and pierced through the spear spirit with one strike. The Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations floated in front of Chen Ang.

Looking at the weapon in front of him and waving it continuously, it was indeed much lighter; it was not on the same level as the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear at all.

He put away the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations and looked at the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear in the distance, which had lost its spirituality after the battle. After returning, he could only find a way to ask the Master Craftsman if it could be reforged.

On the other side, Wan Shitong had a much easier time. He took out the Nine Nether Underworld Flame and obtained the recognition of the Sky Flame Sword without going through a battle, which made Chen Ang feel a bit unfair.

"Hehe, Boss, I didn't expect this Nine Nether Underworld Flame to have such strong adaptability to ancient divine artifacts. Simply releasing the Nine Nether Underworld Flame was enough to obtain the recognition of this Sky Flame Sword."

Chen Ang laughed and said: "Alright, let's leave first and go find the Master Craftsman to see if the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear can be repaired."

Even if it is not suitable for my battle, I must find a way to fulfill my wish. No matter how high the price, it must be repaired.

As soon as the two came out, they attracted the attention of the guardian, who couldn't help but say: "You two kids, let me see what weapons you obtained. They need to be registered at the academy."

Showing the Qilin Spear for Breaking Formations and the Sky Flame Sword in their hands to the guardian caught him off guard; their luck was truly too good.

"You two kids are really lucky. Ancient divine artifacts were obtained by you just like that. You must remember to cherish the weapons in your hands."

"Wuqu Academy has placed a mark on their weapons. After you die, the weapons will return to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Remember, you only have the right to use them, not the right of ownership. I hope you understand."

385: The Dean's Help

Chen Ang understood this very well. There were not many ancient divine artifacts in the entire Wuqu Academy. If it weren't for requesting the Dean this time, he might not have been able to obtain this opportunity.

After obtaining it and leaving, the loss of a divine artifact would definitely be a loss for Wuqu Academy. The existence of a spiritual mark could make things much more convenient.

The two left the Divine Weapon Pavilion and found the Master Craftsman. Seeing the broken Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear, the Master Craftsman couldn't help but say: "What's going on with you, kid? You should know that a weapon is a martial artist's second life. To waste and destroy it like this, don't you have to give me a reasonable explanation?"
