Chapter 21: Daily Spear Practice (Please follow)

Lin Qi looked at the balance of over 13,000 in his bank account, his mood complex.

Since he was young, his account had never exceeded 3,000 yuan.

And this was the first time he had so much money.

"I haven't seen over 10,000 yuan in more than ten years." Lin Qi muttered to himself.

Of this balance of over 13,000, 3,000 was earned from part-time sparring jobs.

The remaining 10,000 was the scholarship.

"My scholarship has also arrived!"

Jiang Tao opposite also revealed a smile. 30,000 yuan was also a huge sum for him.

Although he had the million Xia Guo coins from the Genius Loan, this money wasn't all used on himself.

He also had a younger sister who also needed money, to buy various resources in advance to lay a good foundation, so every bit of money was very precious.

Lin Qi also knew this.

"After the meal, let's go to the supermarket; it's time to buy new resources." Lin Qi suggested.

In order to cope with the small test, he bought a large amount of Qi-Blood Capsules and Qi-Blood Potions. In one week, they had all been consumed.

"Exactly, I also need to buy some resources, let's go together."

"By the way, Lin Lin Qi Ge, you should also change your phone. The screen is cracked so badly it's almost impossible to see."

Jiang Tao pointed at Lin Qi's smartphone and said.

Lin Qi looked at the antique smartphone in his hand. This was the old phone Dad Lin Zhen had used. At this moment, the screen was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the phone case had also begun to fade. He had never been willing to change it.

"It really is time to change it!" Lin Qi nodded.

……

Ten minutes later

Cangqiong Martial Path Supermarket

Lin Qi stood in the potion area, taking down boxes of Qi-Blood Capsules from the shelf.

"My body's growth speed is amazing, plus the daily training volume is getting larger and larger."

"To ensure the progress speed, I need enough nutrition and potion supplementation to improve Qi-Blood."

"So I need to buy more Qi-Blood Capsules and potions."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi took 20 boxes of Qi-Blood Capsules in a row, then immediately came to the Qi-Blood Potion shelf.

"Before, due to being short of money, I only bought two bottles of Qi-Blood Potion. Now I can support one bottle a day."

Lin Qi grabbed a row of Qi-Blood Potions and put them into the shopping basket, a full 10 bottles of Qi-Blood Potion.

After simply buying a few other resources, he began to queue for checkout.

"Beep!"

"Total 7,826 yuan!"

"Payment successful!"

Lin Qi paid through his phone, and the balance of over 10,000 disappeared by more than half in an instant.

"If I could become a signed genius of the Cangqiong Martial Path Mansion, even with a 20% discount, I could save a lot of money."

After sighing, he put the things into his backpack and waited at the cool place at the entrance.

A few minutes later, Jiang Tao came out, his backpack stretched to the limit.

"Haha, I accidentally bought a bit too much."

"Besides the resources I need to use, I also bought quite a lot for Miaoyin."

"Before, the family was poor. For the sake of my martial path, Ah Yin sacrificed herself, and she was even malnourished."

"Now I have to give her a good supplement and lay a good foundation."

Jiang Tao scratched his head and explained with a grin.

Lin Qi nodded. Jiang Tao's parents were both dead. Even relying on government relief funds and working part-time desperately, he could only guarantee normal life.

Wanting to let two people step onto the martial path was obviously unrealistic.

So Jiang Tao's sister, Jiang Miaoyin, sacrificed herself, and brother Jiang Tao bought resources to take, leading to his own malnutrition, slow Qi-Blood improvement, and insufficient strength, making him bottom-tier in the class.

Lin Qi had reason to believe that most of Jiang Tao's million Xia Guo coins would be spent on his sister Jiang Miaoyin.

"Let's go, let's go buy a new phone."

"Okay!"

The two came to a nearby mobile phone store and came out a moment later.

In Lin Qi's hand was a brand-new smartphone with a black exterior reflecting light.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, no matter what, you should buy one over 1,000. The performance of 500-yuan ones isn't very good." Jiang Tao complained from the side.

"Just make do with it. I don't have much money on me now. After the college entrance exam, I'll change to a new phone."

"Besides, aren't you also using a second-hand smartphone that costs 500 or 600?"

Lin Qi operated the phone, transferring files, not caring.

"Hehe, you found out."

The two returned fully loaded to the school.

……

Afternoon, martial path class

"I know some students have hired martial artists stronger than me as teachers, so you don't need my guidance."

"I allow you to go back to your own martial path room to train."

The burly Zhang Cheng stood in the middle of the classroom, crossing his arms and saying loudly.

Hearing this, a portion of the people took their things and walked outside, including the top three in the grade: Li Zhou, Qi Qi Yue Lin, and Yu Jing.

In a moment, there were a dozen fewer people. Most of them were in the top ten of the grade, which also matched everyone's stereotype: good family background, martial path strength not bad.

"The remaining people, practice freely. I want to see your level."

More than 30 people dispersed, each finding a place to start practicing martial arts.

Lin Qi wore a martial arts uniform, took out a version of Qi-Blood Capsules from his backpack, squeezed out 3 pills to swallow, and then took a bottle of Qi-Blood Potion.

He looked around and didn't choose to practice weapons directly like others.

Instead, he started practicing fist techniques.

"Hoo, hoo~"

His footwork was steady, his Qi sank into his dantian, strong as a tumbler that wouldn't fall.

Combining movement and stillness, when still, he had the posture of a tiger crouching; when moving, he was as agile as a cat.

"Bang, bang, bang!!"

Crisp sounds rang out as the tiger claws were slapped out, the fist technique exerted, power penetrating the fingertips.

!

Lin Qi was focused and invested in it, his whole body hot as if fire were burning, Qi-Blood surging, power continuously gushing out.

The main points of Tiger-Form Fist emerged in his mind.

【Through practicing Tiger-Form Fist, you have gained new insights into fist techniques, and your control over your body has improved, Fist Technique +1%】

【Fist Technique: Stage One 91%→93%】

……

Lin Qi withdrew his fist, his whole body steaming, his forehead beginning to sweat.

After feeling that his body had warmed up, he took down his training long spear.

"Swish, swish!"

The long spear danced, but what he was executing was the basic spear technique. The long spear shook, shaking out arrays of spear flowers.

"Fist technique breakthrough is indeed more conducive to the improvement of spear technique, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"At the same time, practicing weapons also consumes more than just punching."

A few minutes later, Lin Qi stopped, already sweating profusely. He wiped his sweat, drank a bottle of water, and continued to train the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique".

"Starting Stance, Picking Clouds, Collapsing Thrust……"

"Practicing spear, the spear cannot leave the body, the body hides behind the spear, practice spear by leading the tip with the root."

"Whether the root is the waist or the hip, shoulder leading the tip, when using the spear, tip and root exchange, like a python wrapping around the body, responding to changes with speed."

"When practicing spear, it needs to be slow and full, the body like an air pump fully charged, stretching and retracting like an air pipe, spear technique twisting, wrapping, drilling, flipping, person follows the spear, spear follows the person……"

Zhang Cheng's loud voice echoed in the martial path classroom.

Lin Qi listened while waving the long spear, feeling as if he had realized something, and the speed of his spear technique execution became more fluid.

"Stage One spear technique is the foundation, focusing on the proficiency of the spear technique. You say how profound it is, it's not, just practice more……"

"Practice more, and the spear technique realm will naturally improve."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qi.

The words just now seemed to be spoken specifically for him.

"Swish, swish~"

"Bang!"

Lin Qi continued to execute the Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique. Zhang Cheng's thoughts coincided with his; just practice more.

Every time he practiced, his proficiency improved.

【Receiving guidance from teacher "Zhang Cheng", your understanding of spear technique has deepened, Spear Technique +1%】

【Spear Technique: Stage One 70%→71%】

……

Yang Lei, waving a long spear in the distance, had an ugly expression.

"Why does Teacher Zhang always give pointers to Lin Qi? Where am I worse than him?"

……

9:30 PM

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao went home together.

Both lived in Rongshan Residential Area. The whole residential area was large and was a famous slum in Tianhai City.

Lin Qi lived in Building 4, Jiang Tao lived in Building 3, not far.

On weekdays, Lin Qi wouldn't wait for Jiang Tao because the other party had to take care of his sister, Jiang Miaoyin.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, see you tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

The two separated at the intersection and walked toward their own homes.

……

Room 301, Lin Qi stepped into the house.

Unlike usual, a cool breeze rushed toward his face.

In the living room, a standing cube air conditioner was blowing cold air.

"The air conditioner arrived!"

Lin Qi revealed a smile. On the old sofa, Dad Lin Zhen and Mom Fang Huiyi were also enjoying the air conditioning.
