Chapter 257: Mountain-Shaking Spear Art

Just as Lin Qi was deep in thought, Wang Zhixuan also spoke up from the side:

"Little Junior Brother, the Silver-level secret manual you are learning is also called an Artistic Conception-level secret manual."

"It can teach us how to control force more precisely, and at the same time, it can allow us to comprehend artistic conception based on the secret manual."

"Therefore, the choice of Artistic Conception-level secret manual is very critical; it concerns your future path."

Mu Hong also nodded at this time:

"Zhixuan is right."

"The selection of an Artistic Conception-level secret manual is very critical; it concerns your future path. Once you choose wrong, you waste time and it is easy for you to go down the wrong path."

"Choosing the first Artistic Conception-level secret manual is very important."

Lin Qi nodded, also thinking of Han Zhen. The opponent's spear technique was very compatible with him, and even the special force was complementary.

"What about movement technique secret manuals?" Lin Qi asked again.

Mu Hong nodded: "The requirements for movement techniques are similar to spear technique secret manuals; you must choose one that suits you."

"If the compatibility between the spear technique manual and the movement technique manual is good enough, it can help you progress rapidly and improve combat power."

Lin Qi nodded, feeling that this guidance from Mu Hong had benefited him a lot.

"Thank you, Teacher, for your guidance."

Mu Hong nodded: "For the recent period, I will stay at school. Time is tight. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

Lin Qi nodded and agreed. With Mu Hong there, many of his questions and doubts could be answered.

At this critical moment of learning a new secret manual, he really couldn't do it without Teacher Mu Hong.

……

Half an hour later, in Villa No. 01.

Inside the spacious martial arts room, Lin Qi, who had changed into black martial arts gear, looked at the projected video in front of him.

That was the video recorded by Xiao Chan. Lin Qi watched it again, listening to Teacher Mu Hong's words, and after pondering it, he had new insights.

After watching, Lin Qi's brain began to turn.

"Xiao Chan, open Red Vault Home!"

"Understood, Master!"

The blue-clad Xiao Chan waved her jade hand, the screen changed, the background turned crimson, and melodious music sounded in the martial arts room.

"I should also purchase a new spear technique secret manual!"

"Teacher said that when choosing an Artistic Conception-level secret manual, one needs to be cautious, as it concerns the future path."

"Others might worry, or even be anxious about whether their choice is correct, but I am different."

"I have a panel that can check the compatibility of every secret manual, which can help me choose the most suitable spear technique manual."

Lin Qi looked at the homepage of Red Vault Home and suddenly thought.

He quickly entered the 【Secret Manual】 section.

【Secret Manual】→【Spear Technique】→【Silver】

After a simple filter, the page refreshed, and a row of spear technique manuals appeared.

【Silver-level Spear Technique Secret Manual (356): Three Stars (214), Four Stars (107), Five Stars (35)】

……

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow. The number of Silver-level spear technique secret manuals was indeed much smaller than Bronze-level ones.

There were 214 manuals with a three-star rating, 107 with a four-star rating, and only 35 left with a five-star rating.

The 35 five-star rated spear technique secret manuals already included all kinds of styles.

Lin Qi looked directly at the 35 five-star rated spear technique secret manuals.

【"Wild Thunder Spear Art", Category: Secret Manual, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 12 million Xia Guo coins, Note: Black Obsidian * 1.5】

……

【"Coiling Dragon Spear Art", Category: Secret Manual, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 12 million Xia Guo coins, Note: Deep Sea * 1.5】

……

【"Mountain-Shaking Spear Art", Category: Secret Manual, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 12 million Xia Guo coins, Note: Red Vault】

……

【"Wild Waterfall Spear Art", Category: Secret Manual, Rating: ★★★★, Price: 7 million Xia Guo coins, Note: Red Vault】

……

Lin Qi finished reading the five-star and four-star spear technique secret manuals.

The price of 12 million Xia Guo coins made him feel heart-palpitating.

It truly is an Artistic Conception-level secret manual; the price is really expensive. If you don't have money, you really can't afford it.

After reading the spear technique secret manuals, he felt that these spear techniques were mostly created by referencing the natural world, and the artistic conception cultivated could find reference objects.

Including the "Coiling Dragon Spear Art," which was a spear technique secret manual created by imitating the Level Nine Disaster Beast, the Nine-Headed Snake Emperor.

Then he compared it with the panel to check for the most suitable spear technique.

A moment later, four spear technique secret manuals stood out.

"Mountain-Shaking Spear Art" (Compatibility 100%)

"Wild Thunder Spear Art" (Compatibility 100%)

"Coiling Dragon Spear Art" (Compatibility 99%)

"Star-Light Spear Art" (Compatibility 98%)

……

He first eliminated "Coiling Dragon Spear Art" and "Star-Light Spear Art."

"Star-Light Spear Art" was an advanced version of the "Meteor Spear Art," but unfortunately, the compatibility was a bit low, only 98%.

And his most proficient spear technique style was rigid and domineering, so "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art" and "Wild Thunder Spear Art" were the most suitable for him, both reaching 100% compatibility.

Lin Qi also fell into hesitation.

The Wild Thunder Spear Art emphasized defeating opponents like violent thunder. Lin Qi didn't know why it was so compatible with him.

As for the "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art," it was completely different.

It was an advanced version of the "Mountain-Splitting Spear Art," progressing from "Mountain-Crushing Spear Art" to "Mountain-Splitting Spear Art," and then to "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art."

The styles were similar and inherited in one line.

Even the "Mountain-Splitting Spear Art" was simplified from the "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art."

20 years ago, Gu Cheng, a Seventh Realm martial artist and spear technique master, comprehended the Mountain-Shaking artistic conception by observing mountains and created the "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art." Then, through simplification, the "Mountain-Splitting Spear Art" and "Mountain-Crushing Spear Art" were born.

If he learned the "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art" now, he could get started in the shortest time. And the power would not be reduced in the slightest; he could even execute it more handily.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi made a decision: choose the "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art."

He added the spear technique secret manual to the shopping cart.

"After reading the spear technique, I also need to choose a movement technique secret manual."

Lin Qi searched for movement technique secret manuals again. The "Lei Guang Movement Technique" had already been cultivated to perfection by him.

To continue to improve, he must purchase an Artistic Conception-level movement technique secret manual.

A moment later, several movement techniques appeared in the search.

【"Lei Ying Instant Kill Step", Category: Movement Technique, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 8 million Xia Guo coins, Note: Red Vault】

……

【"Roaming Dragon Movement Technique", Category: Movement Technique, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 8 million Xia Guo coins, Note: Deep Sea * 1.5】

!

……

【"Flowing Cloud Movement Technique", Category: Movement Technique, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 8 million Xia Guo coins, Note: Black Obsidian * 1.5】

……

The number of movement technique secret manuals was even smaller, with only 30 five-star rated ones. One must know that it did not divide into small categories like sword, saber, spear, or axe techniques.

Among them, the "Roaming Dragon Movement Technique" was actually divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower.

The upper volume was a Bronze secret manual, the middle volume was an Artistic Conception-level secret manual, and the lower volume was a Gold-level secret manual.

It was estimated that the founder was lazy and didn't bother to name them, using the same name for all.

After a simple look around, Lin Qi also had a target in his heart—"Lei Ying Instant Kill Step."

Movement Technique: "Lei Ying Instant Kill Step" (Compatibility 100%)

This movement technique was an advanced version of the "Lei Guang Movement Technique," and the compatibility was as high as 100%.

It was the movement technique most suitable for him.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and added it directly to the shopping cart to place the order.

【Purchase "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art" and "Lei Ying Instant Kill Step"? Total 20 million Xia Guo coins.】

【Because you enjoy a 40% discount, the two secret manuals total 12 million Xia Guo coins!】

【Fingerprint verification successful!】

【Payment successful!】

【Mr. Lin Qi, the Silver-level secret manuals "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art" and "Lei Ying Instant Kill Step" you purchased will be delivered within tomorrow!】

……

Seeing the payment successful, Lin Qi exhaled and looked at his balance.

He had worked hard to earn nearly 40 million in the Freshman Competition, but now he had spent 12 million Xia Guo coins just to buy secret manuals.

This was only because he enjoyed a 40% discount and signed a contract with the strongest Red Vault Martial Arts Hall, so he only spent 12 million.

If it were someone else, the price might be as high as 18 million.

"Next is to wait for the secret manuals to arrive and then start cultivating the new spear technique secret manual directly."

……

Vault of Heaven First Academy, inside a luxurious villa.

The burly Huo Wanyang sat on a red soft sofa, and a green large screen of over 100 inches was projected in front of him.

Opposite him was a burly, dark-skinned, tall middle-aged man. He looked at Huo Wanyang with regret and said:

"Wanyang, I heard about your Freshman Competition. It's a pity that a genius like Lin Qi appeared. It's normal that you are not as good as him."

"Father!"

Huo Wanyang clenched his fists. He originally thought he had let it go, but when his closest person mentioned it, he still felt uncomfortable.

"I traveled in another world and found an Awakening Fruit. Consume it quickly. Once you awaken a special ability, your talent will be greatly improved, and you will have a chance to surpass Lin Qi."

"Dad!" Huo Wanyang's eyes widened after hearing this, his eyes full of gratitude.

He looked at the white metal box in front of him and opened it slowly. Inside, a special container held a green fruit that looked like a yellow pear.

"The Awakening Fruit was discovered in another world 10 years ago. Initially, everyone thought it just had the effect of increasing Qi and Blood value."

"Until someone consumed it and awakened a special ability. It immediately caused a sensation."

"After research, consuming one Awakening Fruit gives a one-in-ten chance of awakening a special ability."

"Even so, it made countless martial artists flock to it."

"Unfortunately, the number of Awakening Fruits is rare. I was lucky this time to buy it from an ordinary martial artist. Wanyang, you must not let me down." The middle-aged man said.

Huo Wanyang nodded firmly after hearing this and quickly ate the Awakening Fruit clean, only to find that there was no pit inside.

"Ah!!"

A moment later, Huo Wanyang let out a painful roar. Intense pain came from his body, and his body seemed to shatter and reshape in an instant.

"Wanyang, hold on, you must not faint, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted!" The middle-aged man also became quite nervous.

Huo Wanyang gritted his teeth and persisted. He must awaken a special ability; he wanted to become stronger.

He wanted to surpass Lin Qi and become the strongest one, so even if his body was in intense pain, he had to endure it.

……

The next day.

Vault of Heaven Sixth Academy, on the way back to the dormitory.

A group of streamlined electric cars of various colors were driving on the main road. In the center was a black electric car, and Lin Qi was sitting in it.

"Damn, Huo Wanyang awakened a special ability!" Jiang Tao, who was scrolling through his phone, suddenly exclaimed.

Others were also shocked when they heard this and looked at Jiang Tao one after another:

"Really or fake?"

Jiang Tao immediately projected the screen and said:

"It's true. Someone saw Huo Wanyang condensing red flames on his hands, and Vice Dean Wu Yueze went to his villa in person."

"Then wouldn't his talent become even stronger?" Guo Heng said in shock.
