Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 406 - 289: Displaying Spear Technique—Ghostly Aura, Astonishing Talent, and a Feat That Amazes Liu Qing!
In this desolate and defeated scene, ghostly aura suddenly emerged. Li Xian once again executed the "Desolate Raven and Defeated Moon" move, the aura becoming even more powerful, the spear tip slicing through the air with a mournful raven cry, bringing disaster and woes. This move is the watershed of the Broken Demon Spear; after this move, each subsequent move becomes fiercer, as if a wicked ghost wielding a spear.
Li Xian’s momentum changed again, the steady and peaceful feeling vanished, suddenly becoming wildly evil. Shi Yufei exclaimed with delight: "Good! Good!" He originally thought Li Xian was greedy and the wager was more likely lost than won, his intention to recruit him into the Candle Sect had faded. But seeing him shine today, demonstrating extraordinary talent, the former greed and arrogance turned into audacious striving. His desire to recruit grew stronger.
Shi Yufei said with a laugh: "Vice Envoy Yan, do you think this spear technique can win the wager?" Yan Hao shook his head with a smile: "I underestimated him; he really has this capability. If he truly mastered it, I would impart my supreme skills to him. However... the path of martial arts, he learned it himself, and was truly able to practice the Broken Demon Spear to remarkable levels. But my supreme skills, even if I teach him wholeheartedly, he might not be able to learn a bit."
Shi Yufei laughed: "Indeed. How could such a genius exist in this world, mastering everything? Miss Liu Qing, what do you think?" Chu Liuqing was silent for a moment, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, recalling past evaluations that might have been biased, she said calmly: "Judging solely by this spear technique, this young man is indeed quite good."
While they were conversing, Li Xian’s spear technique became even more vigorous, showing no signs of stopping. The Residual Demon Map progressed from surface to depths...
He suddenly stabbed diagonally, spear tip splashing into the pool. A series of crashes echoed, waves rippling. White mist surged around, Li Xian’s spear momentum flowing smoothly, executing the "Broken Demon Playing Water" move.
Around him, wails echoed, ghostly shadows reflected in the pool. Chu Liuqing’s beautiful eyes were moved, Shi Yufei and Yan Hao both stood up. Shi Yufei exclaimed: "We underestimated him!"
Yan Hao exclaimed: "Someone in this world can be so compatible with the Broken Demon Spear? He’s truly able to perform it so extraordinarily. Might he have... already achieved a minor achievement!"
Chu Liuqing said with furrowed brows: "I observe this power... truly a minor achievement. Did he really obtain the Broken Demon Spear just a month ago?"
Shi Yufei said: "It seems this Flower No Wrong truly has unique qualities! Not to mention the Broken Demon Spear technique, but even ordinary basic martial arts achieving minor achievement within a month is extremely difficult!"
Yan Hao said: "In that case, it’s truly luck. Ordinary elder figures are frightened by the ghostly creatures in the Residual Demon Map, yet this youth is unafraid."
The ghostly mist thick around where Li Xian’s spear momentum went. He was like a wild, fierce ghost, but lack of opponents to challenge, his power couldn’t be fully manifested. He only showed "spear technique," the perfect appearance and many abilities weren’t deliberately flaunted or displayed.
He retracted the spear and swept its tail towards the ground, this move called "Inverted Branch." In the Residual Demon Map, there are figures of living people hanging upside down from tree branches, this spear technique was derived from it.
Then he used the move "Gut Ripping," the Peach Blossom Spear flew out and broke through the Peaceful Residence, cracking dozens of green bamboos, using the elasticity of the bamboo, the Peach Blossom Spear was rebounded and returned.
Li Xian caught the long spear. At this point, Chu Liuqing and the others felt both surprised and strange. Li Xian had diligently practiced spearing, progressing rapidly, accumulating from sweat, since he exhibited sharpness, there was no need to be restrained.
While wielding the spear again... the spear momentum enveloped, faintly showing ghostly eye-concealing force. Not just the spear technique achieving minor success, he was already exuding spear essence. Shi Yufei repeatedly said: "Rare! Rare! Rare!" Yan Hao said: "Impressive! Impressive! Impressive!"
Chu Liuqing simply said: "Strange! Strange! Strange!"
As the move ended. Li Xian held the spear diagonally downward, bowing to the three in silence. The surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Shi Yufei said: "Good spear technique!" Yan Hao smiled: "Good! Flower No Wrong, you’re very impressive, the wager counts as your victory! I’m a man of my word, if you have free time, come find me at the Martial Arts Pavilion to inquire. The Five Element Strange Escape... you can ask me without reserve, but learning depends on your perception."
Li Xian said joyfully: "Thank you, Vice Envoy Yan! Thank you, Chief Shi!" Shi Yufei secretly gave a signal. Li Xian was very clever, and added: "Thank you, Miss Liu Qing!"
Chu Liuqing frowned and said: "Who allowed you to call me a senior?"
Shi Yufei said: "Miss Liu Qing, his calling you senior is not wrong."
Chu Liuqing cast Shi Yufei a glance, then turned to Li Xian and said: "What is your name?"
Li Xian said: "My surname is Flower, name No Wrong." Chu Liuqing said: "Did you practice the Broken Demon Spear before?"
Li Xian said: "Never practiced it. After obtaining the Residual Demon Map, I always remembered the wager, not daring to forget, thus I pondered tirelessly."
Chu Liuqing furrowed her brows, muttering: "Strange, strange, could this country bumpkin truly possess uncommon talent?" She asked again: "Where are you from?"
Shi Yufei was secretly pleased upon seeing this, smiling at Li Xian, encouraging him to speak honestly.
Li Xian said: "I am from Qiong Heavenly Mansion."
Chu Liuqing said disappointedly: "Yu Nan Dao, Qiong Heavenly Mansion... a remote, barren place, with no powerful factions, no famed large clans."
The local family clan, residing in one place. Although strong, their fame only spreads locally, so it can’t be considered "renown."
Li Xian remained silent. Shi Yufei said: "Though humble origin, able to train the Broken Demon Spear to this level, the talent is extraordinary, precisely the talent my sect needs." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Chu Liuqing hesitated, examining Li Xian for a long time. His appearance and demeanor were both extraordinary, she asked again: "What was your origin before?"
Li Xian found it peculiar, calmly responding: "Ordinary hunter origin." Chu Liuqing said: "Stepping into martial arts, was there an unusual encounter?"
Li Xian said: "Yes."
Chu Liuqing left the stone pavilion, circling around Li Xian. Her tall figure, but ultimately shorter by half a head compared to Li Xian, with graceful steps, fragrance trailing as she moved.
In her mind, she hesitated: "If this youth truly used only a month to train the Broken Demon Spear to minor achievement, indeed he has exceptional talent. If so, granting him that thing doesn’t seem... degrading?"
