Chapter 44 Spear Manual

44  Spear Manual

After hiding in the cave for the entire month, Wang finally felt it was safe to leave and decided to stay near the waterfall due to the blood beads. He could already tell they were useful but did not dare to consume them. As he looked through the spear manual he spent most of his time searching for some prey in the forest to test the blood beads on and he set his sight on some wild cow. Indeed, the wild cow is considered a foolish animal and did not seem to have the same behavior compared to other monsters.

Wang spent some time capturing one and after going back to the edge of the waterfall, fed it with the red beads, and let it consume the grass in the vicinity. He was more curious about the end result and his hands were holding the spear manual.

"This spear manual is interesting. It seems to have been made on the basis of water, it seems that mastering this skill will require me to spend most of my time near some water. Just right, being near this waterfall can also work just perfectly." Just reading through the technique in the manual he could be sure that the creator was more biased toward the water. But in his cognition, he did not have any impression of water as some strong force until he started to read through the technique and he could not help but sigh. Moreover, the creator seems to mention something that made Wang even more interested in the spear manual, which is the mastery of pure spearman ship before attaching other attributes.

In the period of time he has been in this world, he failed to find any suitable tool since he started to practice martial arts, but now seeing the manual on the spear, he was very interested because it could allow him to also maximize his physical strength in attack in cases that he was not utilizing the Fists. In the same way, he seemed to have discovered a new area, compared to other weapons he has seen apparently the spear is very hard to practice and his ego was being challenged here. He has seen almost everyone pulling swords or sabers at their waists, but not everyone moves around with a spear, this in itself is already enough to get his interest.

Checking the Spear manual he could see that there were numerous terms he had no idea what they meant but in the end they each seemed important in the practice of pure spearman ship. On the foundation, the requirements were also to train the spear to the point of being familiar with it in this it can be referred to as mastery. To achieve mastery would require one swinging a spear at the target for a long period of time and currently, he did indeed not have a spear as such he could only use bamboo rods, due to their volatility and when it comes to the weight he can lift even 1000kg without much stress. This just goes to indicate the strength of the hand that was holding the spear underwater.

In the next level of mastery, without even using any technique, one should be able to reach the level of great mastery in handling the spear, and this involves small actions such as stabbing and retracting the spear. The process at this stage should be natural and the power being transmitted by the spear is the limit of the strength input by the arm holding the spear. In most cases, this is already strong as the attack power from such stabs is directed at a point and thus the damage it can do is considerable in the same realm.

He had yet to enter the mastery level but his eyes were shining since he had found something that he could spend his time on. In this way, he did not delay to search himself a suitable bamboo shoot, from which he would be able to practice. At the moment he did not have huge expectations of skipping stages in the mastery of spears as it required him to physically practice and he was ready for this. Perhaps at higher levels, it can be done but not with his novice knowledge or even experience. Stuck in the same place for a long time did not seem to be his kind of behavior, as he was the kind that wanted to progress, and thus he left to search for a suitable bamboo in the forest.

When he checked the technique coming with the spear manual, the water Euphoria he did not bother with the name but rather continued to check the description. The first stage of Water Euphoria is divided into six levels, and each technique has its own uniqueness. The difference between the levels is the amount of power being generated to maintain the stages. In fact from the record those that can use the perfect mastery of spears have their strength doubled, this all is without putting some things such as a technique into consideration. In this case, how could others compete with such power, and even the recognized strongest weapons such as swords can not retain their arrogance before a good spear attack?

Wang then saw a spear as the boss, and he was willing to use this when necessary. Even though difficult to learn the power that it can produce seemed to attract him, moreover his potential has already risen and will continue to improve in the future. His potential is rising and that can be said for his cultivation speed will also follow in the future, thus something like the spear did not stress him at all. Based on the current situation, even if did not practice hard he is bound to get himself to great mastery with time, but that is not how he operates.

In the world of cultivation, Wang's potential is high at this time to qualify others using the word genius for him is already acceptable, but he preferred to play low-key at the moment after all he was not strong enough. Making certain groups of people cast their sight on him was not a good thing and even from his previous life without martial arts, he could already see that human nature is like that. Destroying things that can end up replacing or standing higher than oneself is more or less a common thing. In his case, some might be more interested in the secret he has and even lock him up and this thus makes it such that at this low level, he will not get himself involved with things such as becoming someone's student.

Throwing the thoughts out of his mind, he picked up the bamboo stick and started to practice with it as though it was a spear. With his strong physique that has been honed due to the utilization of resources in the blood forging realm, he could casually swing the bamboo stick but the fact that he had to swing and withdraw continuously can become boring. Since the weight of the bamboo was nothing in his hands, he could afford to be distracted to check out the wild bull in the distance about one and a half meters. It had already consumed the blood beads he threw at it, and he thus kept out an eye to see if any changes happened.

  "Boom boom boom!"

With the spear being waved in a repeated motion and his potential, he was almost already getting a hang of this. The use was becoming faster and faster and thus panting after several hours of doing the same thing. This was familiarity with the spear and his skills were just undergoing amateur refining, at least the spear should be capable of staying in his hands without being dropped with the thrusts. At the same, he seemed to be slowly getting used to the feel of holding a spear-shaped weapon in his hand, while performing thrusts continuously.

"The most important thing for in the moment is to grasp thrusting the spear back and forth until it becomes some kind of instinct." What he had just said seemed to be the most basic thing about mastery, and when it is achieved he would have entered the state of mastery. But the current him was not yet there at all, even after doing this for half a day.

He rested and then looked at the cow in the distance seeing nothing abnormal, and kept holding some bead in his hand. at this moment he felt his blood surging, then he crushed it and the blood-red mist started to crawl along his skin and become absorbed into the body at a slow rate, but this all changed when he started to practice the White Tiger Fist.

At this moment, his body was producing a sound of a beast roar, he assumed it was a tiger, and the process was continuous as the number of blood beads seemed to decrease one by another. He did not practice the spear because he knew that the punches were more suitable for allowing his body to consume the energy in the blood beads and improve his strength as well as stabilize it. In this way, this process kept repeating day in and day out and when he was finished with them he dived back into the water to collect more blood beads. In the end, it was the only thing that could speed up his practice and at the same time he started to practice the other techniques with the use of the blood beads, and the potential value of their speed was indeed faster.

When he woke up priority was given to the spear technique first then others would be studied then, but their speed was fast, and changes also kept happening on the panel. His potential also rose with the breakthroughs in the techniques but it was not the same as the techniques he had practiced to the 6th level.

  "Boom!"

This time his spear managed to leave a dent mark on the rocks near the waterfall he was practicing.
