Chapter 25: Sorry, I'm Not Very Good at Spear Techniques:
"I am here to challenge you. Please, enlighten me!"
"If you want me to recognize you as the first chief disciple, you must defeat me!"
Li Chan'er's voice sounded cold.
...
Name: Li Chan'er
Purple Luck – Destiny Bond: The destined childhood friend of the protagonist Lu Ming, growing up together as siblings. She benefits from this bond until Lu Ming's luck runs out.
Red Luck – Fated Fortune: A week later, during a sect mission to eliminate the Blood Puppet Sect, she finds an ancient manual in the sect master's ring. Burning it reveals a powerful martial skill.
Red Luck – Unmatched Dao Child: Using the powerful martial skill, she becomes the second Dao Child of the Azure Cloud Sect in a month, unmatched in brilliance.
...
Seeing this, Lin Ang instantly understood everything.
This Li Chan'er was clearly a second female lead. If Lu Ming were to rise to power, she would surely become part of his harem...
And with a red luck attribute? Things just got more interesting...
Noticing Lin Ang's lack of response, Li Chan'er stomped her foot in frustration.
She brandished her spear and stared at Lin Ang, "What is your powerful weapon? Swordsmanship? Blade techniques? Or fist techniques?"
Lin Ang thought for a moment and replied, "I'm a bit proficient in all of them."
As Lin Ang spoke, he leaned back.
"Hmph, boasting! In cultivation, mastering even one path is an extreme achievement, and you claim to know a bit of everything? Who are you trying to fool?"
Li Chan'er snorted, her impression of Lin Ang lowering even further.
She couldn't understand why her master had chosen someone like him as the first chief disciple instead of her.
Then, Li Chan'er watched as Lin Ang casually broke a branch from a nearby tree, about two metres long, resembling a wooden spear.
Lin Ang examined the wooden spear and nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad... very sturdy and durable."
This left not only Li Chan'er but also the disciples from other peaks dumbfounded...
"Is Lin Ang really planning to use that small wooden stick as a spear?"
"You know, Sister Chan'er's spear techniques are unrivalled in the entire Qingyun Domain!"
"She once single-handedly wiped out an entire sect with her spear..."
"Sister Chan'er's cultivation has reached the 1st stage of the Crimson Profound Realm. Among the younger generation, she's invincible. And that spear of hers is a third-grade spiritual weapon..."
Meanwhile, on Bright Moon Peak.
At the summit, in a pavilion, two exceptionally beautiful women were having tea.
One, wearing a blue dress, was astonishingly beautiful, akin to the goddesses from the nine heavens.
She was none other than the current Azure Cloud Sect's Holy Maiden, Qiu Ruohan.
Opposite Qiu Ruohan was her close maid, Zi Yan, who respectfully poured her tea and asked, "Holy Maiden Ruohan... what is Lin Ang doing? Isn't he primarily a swordsman? Does he really plan to face Chief Disciple Li Chan'er with that wooden stick?"
Qiu Ruohan gently sipped her tea, the ripples in her cup mirroring her internal confusion.
Seeing Lin Ang casually use a branch as a weapon made Li Chan'er's face flush with anger.
No one had ever dared to look down on her like this!
Gritting her teeth, Li Chan'er said, "So you also specialize in spear techniques? Very well!"
"But I must remind you, the spear in my hand is a third-grade spiritual weapon!"
"Even low-grade spiritual weapons can be shattered by a single strike from it!"
As she finished speaking, Li Chan'er's silhouette moved, and her third-grade spiritual spear struck out suddenly.
Swoosh!
The spear's light tore through the sky, forming a massive crimson spear light, seeming capable of ripping through the void itself, creating a sharp whistle in the air.
In her red attire, holding the spear, Li Chan'er appeared as a peerless spear maiden, transcending the ordinary!
The power of her strike made the entire Cangxuan Peak tremble slightly, activating the protective array, which transformed into a light barrier, covering the entire peak.
In an instant, the spear light flew dozens of miles, like a blood moon in the sky, aiming straight at Lin Ang.
"The outcome is decided."
Witnessing this scene, everyone had the same thought: the victory was clear!
They couldn't help but admire, "As expected of Sister Chan'er... this one strike is enough to rank among the top five prodigies in the Qingyun Domain."
"A third-grade spiritual weapon, empowered by supreme spear techniques! So powerful..."
Li Chan'er, as the second chief disciple, naturally had numerous followers.
At this moment, countless followers couldn't help but cup their hands and shout, "Welcome Sister Chan'er, showcasing your prowess before everyone!"
"Welcome Sister Chan'er, showcasing your prowess before everyone!"
"Welcome!!!"
Countless people, seeing Li Chan'er’s divine spear maiden stance, were so excited that their faces turned red.
However, Lin Ang remained motionless, holding the branch.
The only change was that the branch in Lin Ang's hand started to emit golden Qi.
Countless strands of golden Qi emanated from Lin Ang, gathering on the branch, turning it into a golden spear, as if cast in gold, radiating timeless brilliance.
With the enhancement of his Supreme Bone and perfect sword intent, it was the pinnacle of sword intent manifestation, in a crimson-golden hue.
Supported by his red luck attribute, it had the effect: Any weapon can be infused with sword intent, causing phenomena and acting at will.
Even though it was Lin Ang's first time using a spear, countless insights flooded his mind.
Standing there, he seemed to merge with the golden branch in his hand, radiating the overwhelming pressure of his Supreme Bone.
In the next second, Lin Ang took a step forward, the wooden spear in his hand emitting dazzling golden light.
He moved with the spear, the spear light soaring like a dragon, seemingly capable of reaching the stars and cutting down the entire sky.
"Spear, go!"
Lin Ang whispered, and shot the golden spear forward.
One metre!
One hundred meters!
One thousand meters!
The golden spear light covered the sun and moon, making the surrounding hundred miles pitch black, with only the golden spear light visible.
BOOM!
In the sky, countless clouds exploded under the power of Lin Ang’s spear, turning into golden clouds, shredded and refined into lotuses.
The spear slashed through stars, then blossomed into a lotus!
"What... what is this?"
A moment ago, full of pride, Li Chan'er was utterly stunned.
In the sky, Lin Ang’s spear light enveloped Li Chan’er's spear light instantly, turning into a golden Qi, piercing through time and space, rushing toward Li Chan'er.
It was fast!
Extremely fast!
"Not good!"
Li Chan'er cried out. By the time she reacted, the golden spear light was already in front of her.
The ground before her erupted into a massive hole, golden Qi rising from it.
If not for the protective array, the spear would have torn through the entire Cangxuan Peak!
Holding her spear, Li Chan'er stood frozen, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
She knew very well that if Lin Ang had intended to kill, she would have been obliterated by that brilliant spear light!
She had lost, completely and utterly!
Looking down, she realised that the object before her was merely a branch...
The world fell silent...
"Sorry." Lin Ang's voice sounded from a distance, and he smiled faintly.
"I’m not very good at spear techniques."
With that, Lin Ang softly said, "Sword, come!"
From a distant rock, a long sword, shining with dazzling sword light, flew into Lin Ang’s hand, as if responding to his command, merging into his storage ring.
Lin Ang’s figure, leaving only his back, walked away.
"What?"
Li Chan'er stood there, dumbfounded.
She suddenly realised that the sword Lin Ang had just retrieved was also a third-grade spiritual weapon!
"He... he?"
Li Chan'er was almost trembling as she said, "Isn't he supposed to be a swordsman?"
Not far away, Cangxuan Peak’s maid Liu Qingxue nodded slightly and explained, "Chief Disciple Lin Ang was able to join the inner sect and become the first chief disciple by proving the Dao with his sword, reaching the heavens in one strike."
"Chief Disciple Lin Ang practises swordsmanship..."
Despite saying this, Liu Qingxue's heart pounded wildly, looking at Lin Ang's departing figure with a hint of admiration.
Meanwhile, on Bright Moon Peak.
In the pavilion, Qiu Ruohan held a teacup.
The tea was still warm.
Her beautiful face froze for a moment before a hint of self-mockery appeared.
With a soft sigh, she said, "I underestimated him again..."
"If you want me to recognize you as the first chief disciple, you must defeat me!"
Li Chan'er's voice sounded cold.
