Chapter 458: 0297 Fifth Rank Spear Skill (Combined Chapter 8k)_2

"Common Martial Artists often find establishing achievements and gaining merit as the best channels for advancement, daring to fight and compete, enhancing their actual combat abilities. As long as they endure through wars, they can all make qualitative leaps."

Old Ji cautioned,

"You ought to pay attention to safety; at the very least, get yourself a high-level protective suit."

As for Divine Weapons, they were out of reach for ordinary Martial Artists. Don’t look at Lu Chenzhou’s body clad in top-notch equipment, as if Divine Weapons cost nothing. In reality, this is one in a billion exception. Other Martial Arts Geniuses, at best, have a lower-grade Divine Weapon at their side, and that would already be considered quite impressive.

Messing with his food, Lu Chenzhou recalled something.

He possessed a useless Divine Weapon: the Wave Heart Sword. He’ll have another look at it after some time, and if it’s indeed of no use, he’ll give it to his master, who also happened to practice swordsmanship on the side.

If master doesn’t want it, then he’ll give it to Ji Feiyan. With the two senior sisters teaming up for training soon, having a Divine Weapon to protect them would be enough to ensure their safety, as long as they are careful and prudent.

Now that he had the ability, he also wanted to manage this little sect, which should be the simple yet deep-seated sect sentiment in the hearts of Da Xia Martial Artists. Since ancient times, a warm and loving sect has always been the anchor and harbor in the hearts of Martial Artists.

The old Ji, who loved his liquor, brought out a bottle of wine from the bedroom:

"Come, come, come, try this apricot blossom red that I have been saving for eighty years."

The crowd drank heartily, the liquor smooth and fragrant in their mouths.

After dinner, the two senior sisters were tipsy.

Ji Feiyan, full of lofty aspirations, declared with a flush from the wine:

"Flying Swallow Sea Sweeping! Free and unrestrained!"

Shi Ruyu looked at the departing Lu Chenzhou, humorously joked while being uncharacteristically drunk,

"Knock it off; only the junior brother is unrestrained..."

...

The next day, Magic City.

The third Spear Skill exchange, originally scheduled for June, was delayed until July due to the war. Many players also chose to withdraw due to various objective reasons.

The Divine Chariot and the Floating Cloud descended within Denglong Hall.

Wang Xian, wearing sunglasses, looked increasingly unfathomable.

After stepping out of the car, Lu Chenzhou heard Wang Xian laugh and say,

"Your car, it’s more flashy than mine."

"Diaoist Science and Technology made it custom for me; does senior brother need one?"

"Need it, but can you ask them for me? I like to collect these kinds of things."

"Sure."

Lu Chenzhou felt a pang of emotion; senior brother really was wealthy.

His own paltry 200 million savings, he did not dare to spend so lavishly.

After breaking through to the second realm, any casual expenditure was an astronomical figure.

The two arrived at the waiting area and saw many familiar faces.

Zhao Yunzong, with his bushy eyebrows and large eyes, laughed heartily:

"Brother Lu, long time no see."

He missed Lu Chenzhou terribly.

He always reminisced about the days when they discussed and practiced the Gun Dao together at the Gun Immortal Temple.

Huotian Palace also joined in the fun, and upon seeing him, Lu Chenzhou laughed:

"It’s been so long since Brother Huo came to spar with me."

Huotian Palace’s eyes darkened, and he sighed:

"Let’s have another fight after I break through the second realm, that is if you haven’t broken through to the third by then... I heard from Zhou Ziyu that you’ve recently been quite a celebrity in the Hengduan Mountain Range."

Indeed, Lu Chenzhou had made quite a name for himself during this period.

Even the Demon Realm began spreading news about him on a small scale, which said a lot.

The crowd buzzed with excitement as the stars of the Spear Skill world arrived.

From the Magic City Martial Arts University, Yang Tian.

From the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University, Wu Jinlong.

These two were hailed as the unparalleled pair of young spear users in today’s Da Xia. Though Lu Chenzhou was more famous, people considered his proficiency in spear skills to be a notch below theirs.

Yang Tian’s cultivation was similar to Lu Chenzhou’s.

Wu Jinlong was stronger, at the end realm of the second realm.

Of course, cultivation didn’t matter much; with the Measuring Sky Ruler, a top-class Divine Weapon, suppressing everyone, the qi-blood of all participants would be reduced to the level of the Initial Realm of Martial Arts.

The weapons used were Alloy Long Spears provided by the organizers of the event.

This was a pure and ultimate contest of spear skills.

This reminded Lu Chenzhou of the virtual shadow of the Spear Immortal in the Gun Immortal Temple.

This predecessor had also suppressed his cultivation to the Initial Realm of Martial Arts to spar with him.

Before long,

A figure with a momentum like a rainbow descended on Denglong Hall.

He looked spirited, with bright eyes, exuding the authority of a Great Grandmaster.

"I am Eight Extremes Heavenly Spear·Yu Cheng, the host for this competition. Time is short, so I announce that the competition begins! I hope everyone exhibits the spirit of spear skills!

Gun Dao, unstoppable, who else but us!"

Everyone was amazed; this Grandmaster, formerly ranked 24 on the Heavenly List, had also advanced.

Da Xia had gained another top-level spear master.

At the same time,

Above Denglong Hall, a giant black ruler appeared out of nowhere, its surface covered with complex scales. The huge ruler buzzed and trembled, stretching against the wind, blocking out the sun.

Above the ruler, the vague shadow of a four-winged dragonfly could be seen.

The Measuring Sky Ruler was once the personal sword of the Master of the East Sea Sword Pavilion during the Dadu Dynasty period. This Great Grandmaster, who also challenged Lv Zu, stood alongside him in that era, known as the ’Sword Dao Dual Extremes,’ representing the ultimate in the Sword Dao.

Lines of light descended, floating above the heads of the participants, and an invisible binding force began to suppress the qi-blood within Lu Chenzhou’s body.

Other contestants’ auras were also rapidly subsiding.

Only those already at the Initial Realm of Martial Arts remained unaffected.

"How fascinating; to what origins does this four-winged dragonfly belong?"

Lu Chenzhou was curious internally.

The contestants exclaimed in wonder at the arcane might of the Divine Weapon.

"As expected of the number one mystery of the world, the Measuring Sky Ruler."

"Indeed, worthy of being Magic City’s treasure."

The competition began.

Lu Chenzhou’s first opponent was also a familiar face.

From Jiangnan Martial Arts University, Lin Zirong!

This Martial Artist, who also practiced Spear Skill, was very insightful and caught the eye of a master of the Baji Fist, who took him as his True Inheritance. That master was a disciple of Yu Cheng.

"Long time no see, Brother Lu... oh no, Senior Lu."

"Just call me Brother Lu; after many years, we meet again in the Denglong Hall."

"Then let’s have a spirited and intense battle!"
