Before the assessment, I’ll stay in the room too. No going home.

The spear hummed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began with the basic spear forms—each movement, each posture, now instinctive. His fundamentals were solid; he’d never neglected them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng’s two methods—he’d use both: focus on basics while mastering the other two spear techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had confidence in his own insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he shifted from basic spear to the Mountain-Crushing Spear Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its style was fierce and dominant, its aura surging like tidal waves around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, his technique changed—he switched to the Dropping Water Spear Technique, swift as wind, spear shadows flashing like a sudden storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shifted again—his style became steady as Mount Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Qi swung his spear, his entire aura transformed—he seemed to become an unshakable rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear’s movements were precise and orderly, like seamless stone slabs fitted together, leaving no opening for the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strikes were simple yet immensely powerful—not seeking aggressive offense, but emphasizing unbreakable defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeking counterattack opportunities within defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Solid Rock Spear Technique—he had mastered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now held all three spear techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi successively practiced three spear techniques, sensing each one’s style and the differences in their power application.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mastery of the spear techniques was also improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His understanding of the third killing technique of the “Mountain-Crushing Spear Art” gradually emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough—I’m just short of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only need that final push, and I’ll master the third killing technique,” Lin Qi thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his confidence—Jiang Tao’s bet with him was certain to be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before the final exam, I will master it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need real combat to accelerate this process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi made his decision quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-06-20T20:27:41.493Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e6a18d8b36452cd1dcfb0db3f045700027c77b4fee78d0c60828e7b73f830e7b","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-74","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-72",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-cover.jpg"]
