High Martial Arts: Grinding for the Supreme Talent

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Mountain-Shaking Intent

’To think he could pick the *Mountain Splitting Spear Technique* out of so many options. That kid Lin Qi has a pretty good eye.’

Yue Feng smiled.

’The *Mountain Splitting Spear Technique* is fierce and domineering, with a high learning difficulty. It has extremely high requirements for a Cultivator, demanding both an incredibly strong physique and great Comprehension.’

’Lacking either one will greatly diminish the results.’

’Anyone who can master the way Power is channeled in the Bronze Secret Manual within a week is already considered a genius with high Comprehension.’

’I wonder how many days Lin Qi will need?’

’Maybe within six days?’ Yue Feng guessed to himself.

...

The next day at noon, in the cafeteria of No. 2 Middle School.

On the second floor, Lin Qi and Jiangtao sat across from each other at a white table in the corner. The trays in front of them were piled high with meat and vegetables, their fragrant aroma filling the air.

”Brother Qi, you’re a real beast!”

”I can’t believe you’ve been living with Gravity Rings on for so long.”

”I wore them for my first training session yesterday, and they nearly killed me,” Jiangtao lamented, still shaken just thinking about it.

Lin Qi swallowed a piece of meat, his expression unchanging. ”It’s only the beginning, and you already can’t take it?”

”These are only 11 pounds. For Martial Artists like us with over a thousand kilograms of Fist Power, this is just a warm-up.”

”I’ve already switched to 55-pound Gravity Rings.”

Jiangtao’s eyes widened. ”55-pound Gravity Rings!”

”Brother Qi, are you even human?”

Soon, Lin Qi finished his meal and said, ”Taozi, you need to keep pushing.”

Hearing this, Jiangtao clenched his fists, feeling an immense pressure bearing down on him.

’No, I can’t let myself fall this far behind.’

’First, I’ll get used to the 11-pound ones, then I’ll switch to the 55-pound rings.’

...

In the afternoon, at the school gate, Lin Qi once again saw the burly deliveryman in a black and red uniform.

The man was holding three boxes, each containing different items. One was a sleek black metal case that required his fingerprint for verification.

”Mr. Lin Qi, please sign for your delivery.”

Lin Qi nodded and held out his hand. A red light scanned his palm and quickly turned green.

The deliveryman looked at Lin Qi with a hint of envy and said:

”Student Lin Qi, as per regulations, I am obligated to remind you that the copyrights for the *Mountain Splitting Spear Technique* and the *Thunder Light Body Technique* belong to the Secret Manuals’ founders. You only possess the right to learn them.”

”You do not have the right to teach, copy, or privately sell the Secret Manuals.”

”Any violation will be met with joint prosecution from the Three Great Martial Arts Dojos.”

Lin Qi nodded seriously. ”I understand!”

After speaking, the burly deliveryman set the packages down and turned to leave.

Lin Qi carried the packages back to the Martial Arts Room. On the way, he ran into Zhang Cheng, who saw the boxes and guessed what was inside.

”What Spear Technique Secret Manual did you buy?”

”*Mountain Splitting Spear Technique*,” Lin Qi replied without hiding anything.

’So it’s that one. You really know how to pick them; that Spear Technique is extremely difficult,’ Zhang Cheng thought, inwardly surprised.

”When I was a student, a friend of mine also practiced this Spear Technique. It took him a full half-month just to master channeling Power according to the Secret Manual.”

”He’s a Sixth Realm Martial Artist now. Back then, once he learned this Spear Technique, he was truly incredible. Few Martial Artists of the same level could defeat him.”

As Zhang Cheng spoke, he seemed lost in deep thought.

”Half a month?” Lin Qi frowned. ’A Sixth Realm Martial Artist needed half a month? It actually takes that long?’

’How long would it take me?’

Watching Lin Qi’s departing figure, Zhang Cheng thought to himself:

’With the Talent Lin Qi has shown, it will probably take him a week to learn how to channel Power.’

...

That evening, in Room B123 of the Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo.

The air was filled with the rich scent of incense, which had a calming effect.

WHOOSH...

ROAR...

Lin Qi, dressed in a black Martial Arts Uniform, sat cross-legged with his hands in the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Technique. Dense points of light continuously gathered toward his body.

Within his consciousness, a colossal golden Vajra Tiger opened its cavernous mouth, using the Gale Technique to absorb the surrounding Source Energy Particles.

One by one, Source Energy Particles entered his body through his pores, spreading a cool sensation to every corner of his being.

The cells of his body were like a starving man, frantically devouring and digesting the Source Energy Particles.

As the Source Energy Particles were absorbed and converted by his body, a portion was completely assimilated, promoting the transformation and strengthening of his muscles and Great Tendons.

Another portion was fully converted into Source Energy Particles unique to Lin Qi, which flowed throughout his body.

Or they would lie hidden within, allowing his body to absorb them slowly.

WHOOSH...

BOOM!!

Two hours later, Lin Qi’s eyes snapped open as a tyrannical aura erupted from his body.

A Golden Light seemed to flash wildly in his eyes.

He stood up. In front of him were three metal boxes. He opened one of them first.

Inside the box were two pairs of gleaming black, hollow metal rings—the 55-pound Gravity Rings Lin Qi had purchased.

Their thickness had increased by only two millimeters, a feat achieved by compressing the material to its absolute limit.

CLICK! CLACK!!

After putting them on, he could clearly feel the weight’s effect on his speed and agility.

Finally, his gaze fell upon a black metal box, about the size of a shoebox.

BEEP!

Lin Qi pressed a button, and the metal box automatically opened from the middle, revealing four items nestled inside.

There were two books and a small, cube-shaped USB drive.

Lin Qi took out one of the silver books—*Mountain Splitting Spear Technique*.

A Secret Manual wasn’t like a Source Energy Skill. The most precious part of a Source Energy Skill was its Divine Intent.

Therefore, the cultivation method itself wasn’t the main concern.

But a Secret Manual was different.

Anyone who got their hands on one could practice its Cultivation.

The entire Secret Manual was printed on a special material that was incredibly resilient and difficult to tear.

It was even fireproof, waterproof, and insect-proof, allowing it to be preserved for a very long time.

He picked it up and began to flip through it.

He opened the first page. On it were two large words written with a brush—”Mountain Splitting.”

The calligraphy was fluid and powerful, full of domineering spirit.

In an instant, Lin Qi felt a domineering spear gleam rush toward him!

’What a powerful Mental Realm!’

Lin Qi was amazed. ’This is just a printed copy. I can’t imagine how terrifying the Mental Realm of the original would be.’

It was said that High Realm Martial Artists could imbue their Martial Arts with their Mental Realm, infusing it into objects so that the intent would not dissipate.

”*Mountain Splitting Spear Technique*, named as such to demonstrate that the technique’s might can shake mountains!

When I first comprehended this Spear Technique, I saw a towering mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. I suddenly thought that if human strength could shatter such a majestic peak, one could become invincible.”

”Thus, I used the spear as my medium to explore this state.”

Reading this, Lin Qi couldn’t help but inwardly complain. Whether it was the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique* or the *Mountain Splitting Spear Technique*, the names were incredibly boastful.

They weren’t like other Secret Manuals with simple, unpretentious names.

However, the high-mindedness of its concept was also rare.

”The style of the *Mountain Splitting Spear Technique* is strong and majestic, like a gale sweeping across an open plain, forever advancing.”

”The wielder channels Power through their arms and unleashes it at the spear’s tip. Every technique possesses the might to shatter mountains and split stones.”

”Thrusts are as sudden and shocking as a Thunderbolt, swift and direct, without the slightest hesitation, fully displaying its domineering nature.”

Compared to the *Mountain Shattering Spear Technique*, it was still fierce and domineering, but with an added layer of majesty and grandeur.

When this Spear Technique was executed, wherever the spear tip pointed, it seemed to carry the might of collapsing mountains and tearing earth.

Reading the description, Lin Qi could feel its domineering power.

He continued flipping through the book. The *Mountain Splitting Spear Technique* had a total of fifteen techniques and three Killing Techniques.

Each page began by introducing a technique, accompanied by extensive annotations on its execution and the application of power.

It also mentioned that a tutorial video was stored on the USB drive.

Lin Qi plugged it into a projector.

”Little Chan, open the tutorial video.”

”Yes, Master!” replied the projected image of Little Chan, a black-haired girl in a Blue Robe, with a nod.

She raised her hand, projecting a large green screen.

WHOOSH!

The video’s background was a spacious Martial Arts Room where a burly, imposing man stood, dressed in a loose white Martial Arts Uniform.

He had a fierce face, a thick beard, and exuded a valiant aura, like a great general from ancient times.

”I will now demonstrate the *Mountain Splitting Spear Technique*.”

Seeing this, Lin Qi took the black Thunder Horn Spear down from the wall and began to learn the new Spear Technique Secret Manual, following along with the burly, white-clad man in the video.

’Teacher Zhang Cheng said this Spear Technique is extremely difficult. I want to see for myself just what makes it so hard.’
