Chapter 17 Learning Spear Techniques

The familiar environment made the memories of the possession even clearer. At the same time, he gently tapped his finger and chose to record the entire process.

"Spear." Xu Jingming stood up and reached out, and a spear appeared in his hand. It was also a complete imitation of 'Xuan's' weapon, equally black throughout, and three meters and two centimeters long.

"Beng."

He simply pulled the spear with both hands, but it made Xu Jingming frown slightly. "I'm slightly shorter than Xuan, and my control over strength isn't as good as his. A three-meter-two-long spear is still a bit too long for me. Shorter!" The spear began to slowly shorten, and Xu Jingming also tried, eventually stopping at a length of two meters and eighty-six centimeters.

This length was the most similar to the feeling of Xuan holding the spear in his memory.

"Xuan practiced the spear technique three times."

Xu Jingming remembered that set of spear techniques very clearly. "This set of spear techniques is completely different from the spear techniques he used in battle. The speed isn't fast, and it's very calm. It feels more like a health-preserving spear technique. It's just that inwardly, it's like the Nirvana flames are burning, constantly accumulating power, accumulating power for an eruption."

The entire set of spear techniques had all kinds of spear moves, all very restrained and calm, constantly accumulating power.

Because of the possession, Xu Jingming was very clear about the inner essence of this set of spear techniques. He also began to practice move by move, equally seemingly calm, not fast, and inwardly also accumulating power.

After practicing three times, Xu Jingming stopped.

"Let's see how well I've practiced." Xu Jingming began to play back the previous recording, watching the scene of himself performing the spear techniques in the recording. This look made him frown.

When he possessed Xuan, his senses were extremely sharp, and he could accurately judge even the planet's rotation, revolution, the flow of time, and spatial distance. When he performed the spear techniques at that time, he also clearly remembered the speed and height of each thrust, and even the degree of rotation.

Of course, now that he had returned to himself, he couldn't precisely control his body. He could only rely on recording videos for comparison.

"This move is too deliberate in its exertion of force, not natural enough. The rotation range of the spear is also too large." Xu Jingming watched carefully. After watching the three repetitions of the spear technique and carefully analyzing it, he immediately began to practice the spear again.

He practiced three more times!

Feeling much better, Xu Jingming continued to watch the recording of this time.

…

Practice the spear, watch the recorded scenes of spear practice to find the problems, then practice the spear again, watch and compare again, practice the spear again…

After practicing the spear technique nine times, twenty-seven repetitions, Xu Jingming stopped.

"Almost there."

"Although it doesn't reach the level in my memory, and I always feel like something is missing, the limit of what I can do now is this level." Xu Jingming looked at the recorded video. "Save all the videos, and record all the problems! I hope that in the future, when I look back, I can be touched by something."

Xu Jingming was quite satisfied. After practicing this set of spear techniques, he had become accustomed to viewing spear techniques from the perspective of time and space.

"This set of spear techniques is very calm and restrained, extremely gentle, but it's always accumulating power, ready to erupt at any time." Xu Jingming thought, "Since it's always very calm and not fast, let's temporarily call this set of spear techniques the Health-Preserving Spear Technique."

Xu Jingming was too lazy to think too much and simply came up with a name.

"Next is the more crucial combat spear technique." Xu Jingming began to change the scene of the training ground.

It was changed to the void of the universe. The tiny stars in the distance, and even the planets, were invisible.

The scene completely simulated the edge of a star system.

In the silent and dark void of the universe, Xu Jingming stood there, and in front of him, a virtual image of an opponent also appeared—an armored strongman. Looking at the armored strongman, Xu Jingming felt an even greater sense of immersion.

"It's a pity that the opponent I've simulated is just a phantom," Xu Jingming thought.

The armored strongman had a large shield in one hand and a hammer in the other, but it was just a phantom. After all, no matter how you set the strength, it would ruin the feeling. It was better to set up a phantom.

Xu Jingming began to perform the spear technique.

"Kill."

Xu Jingming wanted to thrust out with his spear.

"In the void, I can't get a firm footing, so it's not easy to exert force." Xu Jingming immediately felt awkward. For 'Xuan', the void and the land were no different. Xuan could cause the void to vibrate and distort with just one step.

But Xu Jingming couldn't!

"Forget it, I'll create a large meteorite." Xu Jingming could only continue to simulate, creating a meteorite with a range of several *li* under the feet of himself and the phantom of the armored strongman. The surface of the meteorite was relatively flat.

"Let's begin." With his feet on the meteorite, Xu Jingming's exertion of force was smooth, and he began to stab the phantom in front of him.

*Pfft!*

This stab made Xu Jingming shake his head slightly, and then he continued to stab!

That 'Xuan's' combat spear technique only had one move—thrust!

And in battle, Xuan had used this move over ten million times! Xu Jingming's memory was too deep. The same move was constantly imprinted in his mind over ten million times. Even after a hundred or a thousand years, this move would still be deeply remembered.

"Regardless of what moves the enemy uses, it's all this one spear thrust."

"This move is offense, and it's also defense. Because the move is too fast, even if the enemy attacks, he can strike first, attacking the enemy's weakness… naturally breaking the opponent's attack." Xu Jingming was very clear about the power of this move.

It was offense, and it also served as defense.

"Likewise, this move is also footwork." Xu Jingming was very clear about this point. "It seems to be performed with a spear, but it's actually like a tiger's claws, a bull's horns! The spear is only a part of Xuan's body. In the end, he transformed into a beam of light, and the spear was only a part of that light. His entire being reached the speed of light."

Just a single thrust was offense, defense, footwork, and even Xuan's spiritual will!

Xu Jingming still clearly remembered that the other party, as if burning his life, only had one thought, to transform into light!

"Transform into light!"

Xu Jingming also tried to make himself have only this one thought. Although it was difficult to do, he silently recited it in his heart again and again, while also performing the spear technique time after time.

Advance thrust! Retreat thrust!

His figure was like a flame, as fast as lightning, thrusting out with the spear again and again.

Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times…

Xu Jingming was immersed in it.

In the virtual world, even if he was tired, he could restore his body to its peak with a gentle tap. As for his spirit? At this moment, his spirit was extremely excited and he didn't feel tired at all.

Only after stabbing tens of thousands of times did he feel mental fatigue.

On the meteorite in the void of the universe, Xu Jingming advanced, retreated, dodged left, and dodged right. His movements in all directions were extremely fast, and his entire person's movements naturally carried the artistic conception of the spear, as if a person had transformed into a spear. The movement of his footwork had the artistic conception of the spear thrusting out! Fast and fierce!

In the past, Xu Jingming's footwork was like the eruption of thunder and fire, ferocious.

But now, his footwork was fast and fierce! More crisp and neat.

While moving, the spear would also thrust out! The footwork and the spear thrust were perfectly coordinated. Every thrust carried the force of the entire body's charge, and its power surpassed Xu Jingming's past creation, the 'Mountain Breaking' ultimate move.

"I'm really a little tired."

"I've been practicing this one spear thrust for over sixteen hours?" Xu Jingming looked at the time and was a little surprised. "Fortunately, after going online at 0:00 at night, the time is reset. I can continue to be online for more than fifteen hours."

As for hunger, after the evolution of his body, it was a small matter to not eat or drink for two days.

"This one spear thrust, seemingly one move, actually encompasses everything and is enough to become a cosmic legend. Let's temporarily call it… the Transforming Rainbow Spear Technique." Xu Jingming simply came up with a name.

Immediately, Xu Jingming gently tapped his finger, adjusted the scene, and returned to the previous forest planet scene.

In a lush mountain forest, on a mountain platform, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the ground.

"During the day or so that I was possessed, the time spent practicing the Health-Preserving Spear Technique and combat was only an hour in total. The rest of the time, I was almost in a state of mental emptiness." Xu Jingming still clearly remembered that state.

His entire person had no thoughts or fluctuations, as silent as a celestial body, naturally spreading spiritual fluctuations.

Xu Jingming imitated that state.

At this moment, his mind was exhausted, making it easier to empty himself.

Emptying…

Emptying…

His own being was as silent as a celestial body, as if for thousands or tens of thousands of years, he would still remain motionless.

Xu Jingming guided himself, striving to get closer to 'Xuan's' state at that time. Although he was far from reaching that kind of realm, in the process of trying, Xu Jingming also felt that his mind was becoming more ethereal, and his heart was becoming more silent. He really had a sense of celestial bodies operating, silently.

For so many years, Xu Jingming's heart had never been so still.

This was not losing consciousness.

It was emptiness, it was nothingness.

He still naturally sensed his surroundings, clearly understanding everything around him, but he didn't have a single thought.

Time passed…

"Hmm?"

Xu Jingming suddenly woke up and immediately looked at the time. It was already 8:22 in the morning.

"I just sat for eight hours?" Xu Jingming was a little surprised himself.
