Chapter 1580

Dokima Sae: "That doesn't make sense. If it's for combat, wouldn't a knife, sword, or spear be better and more suited to Winterma-san's physical strength?"

Su Xiao: "Really? Winterma-san doesn't have your martial skills. Besides, modern industrial products like knives and swords may be sturdy, but if used for long periods, they easily bend or chip. Unless you're willing to lend Winterma-san a famous blade. As for guns, you can't learn to use one properly in such a short time."

Dokima Sae: "That's true. As for famous blades, the Dokima Dojo does have some, but they're with my father—I doubt we can get one in time."

Dokima Sae: "Besides, famous blades aren't as powerful as people imagine. They're still made of iron—if you chop bones for long periods, they still bend and chip easily."

Butterfly Kanae: "How about I give you a Nichirin Blade?"

Komaki: "The Nichirin Blade is too distinctive—let's skip it. We're sneaking into the Nightmare Space; we don't want to alert anyone."

Ying Zheng: "Then I can't use my bronze sword either. Modern people all know bronze is more brittle than iron—no modern person would carry a bronze sword. That would raise too many suspicions."

Huang Rong: "Looks like we can't give her the Black Iron Sword either! It's a specialty of the Wu Xia world—handing it directly to Winterma-san would be suspicious."

Winterma Kazusa: "Thank you all, but I think I'll stick with the crowbar. It's less likely to break and less likely to injure me."

As an ordinary Gao Zhongsheng, Winterma still feared knives and swords.

A gleaming blade can harm enemies—but it can also harm oneself.

There's simply not enough time to master knife or sword techniques to a divine level.

No, she couldn't master them to a divine level anyway.

Her current mission is to infiltrate the Nightmare Space—anything that might expose her must be avoided.

Otherwise, she could just summon the power of the Huan Yu Tower—what sword or knife technique couldn't she learn then?

With the livestream running, Winterma Kazusa took a taxi to the construction materials market.

"Boss, I need a crowbar!"

The boss stared blankly, thinking he'd misheard.

A beautiful high school girl coming to a construction market to buy a crowbar—this scene was just too strange.

"Boss, I need a crowbar!!"

Only after Winterma Kazusa repeated it a second time did the boss snap out of his daze.

"We have several types of crowbars—which one do you want, Miss?"

In the end, with everyone's advice, Winterma Kazusa chose a relatively slender and long crowbar.

Length means safety.

Slenderness means lighter weight for the same length.

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "That scene just now felt familiar."

Yingdao Mai: "..."

Komaki: "Isn't that just the famous scene where Senior Yingdao bought bread? One time, she ignored everyone; this time, the boss was just stunned."

Butterfly Kanae: "You're right."

After buying the crowbar, Winterma Kazusa also bought a backpack and some high-energy food and drinks.

Although the group members could provide support.

But she couldn't possibly show up completely unprepared.

Back in her quiet home, Winterma Kazusa placed the crowbar aside and eagerly opened the chat group.

Zhang Taixuan: "【Crowbar Four Forms】This is a method of using the crowbar as a weapon by generating force from the hands, feet, shoulders, and waist. Compared to knives and swords, it's far more energy-efficient. As long as you're not completely exhausted, you still have combat power. This is exactly why I told you to pick the crowbar."

Zhang Taixuan: "Human endurance is the strongest on land. Not using this racial advantage would be a waste."

Human strength and speed aren't particularly strong among land animals.

But when it comes to endurance, no other animal can compare.

Human endurance qualifies as the king of the land.

Without using supernatural power, it's better to leverage humanity's inherent racial advantage than to force a high school girl to learn complex techniques.

Shouldering the crowbar and generating force from the shoulders, waist, and limbs is clearly superior to complicated sword or knife techniques—and far better suited for prolonged combat.

Su Xiao: "Endurance? That's actually a great idea!"

As Jin Xians, everyone had initially focused on techniques, overlooking humanity's natural racial advantage.

Simply put, no Jin Xian would ever care about this kind of endurance.

Winterma Kazusa, filled with anticipation, opened the tutorial video.

The four forms were extremely simple.

So simple she couldn't see any hidden depth.

Only when she shouldered the crowbar and followed the motions, snapping it outward, did she finally perceive its true subtlety.

In that moment, she felt her hands, feet, shoulders, and waist coiling into one force, unleashing unimaginable power.

Boom!

The crowbar smashed into the floor, cracking a large hole in the tiles and drawing angry shouts from the apartment below.

Zhang Taixuan: "Too much force. If you hit an enemy like that, you'll die horribly. Use only five percent strength—keep five percent in reserve, ready to change tactics at any moment."

Winterma Kazusa nodded lightly and tried again.

This time, the crowbar still sprang from her shoulder, propelled by the force of her body and momentum.

Following Zhang Taixuan's warning, she held back some power—this time, the crowbar's head stopped three feet above the floor.

Though it didn't strike the ground and no damage was visible, the whistle of the crowbar slicing through air told Winterma Kazusa its power was still immense—and she felt her blood surge.

No one dislikes power.

She hadn't imagined her frail body, if fully unleashed, could generate such terrifying force.

Just from this one technique's method of generating force, she felt she could take on a dozen Yakuza members.

Provided they don't use American-style Iaijutsu.

Zhang Taixuan: "Good. You've learned the first technique, 'Strike.' The next is 'Borrow.' In this technique, you must learn to borrow force and use it against your opponent. Your own strength is still weak; when facing a stronger enemy, even if you muster all your power, you cannot win. But if you can borrow your opponent's force, it becomes an entirely different matter."

"Yes, Master!" Dongma Heshā's fair face flushed red as she spoke softly in the group chat.

(Li Hao's) Zhang Taixuan: "I never said I'd be your Master."

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "Damn, someone's stealing our Master."

In half a day, Dongma Heshā mastered the Four-Character Maxim of the Pry Bar.

They are: Strike, Borrow, Throw, Move.

Strike: Concentrate all your strength to attack.

Borrow: Borrow force and use it against your opponent; when combined with the first technique, it unleashes unimaginable power.

But the Borrow technique demands insight—it's easy to fail to borrow force and get injured by your opponent.
