Chapter 91 You Graduated
"As still as a mountain!" Lin Zhen repeated.
"That's right. Unmovable as a Mountain is my martial art. If you want to practice this martial art, you must first have extremely solid basic skills. You have almost mastered this skill, but you still need to practice more in the future. The more important point is understanding."
"Understand? How do you mean?"
"Spearmanship is profound and extensive. It is a unique skill that can be practiced for a lifetime. However, it also has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that the attack is violent, and it also has the defense of long weapons. After you have mastered all the basic spearmanship, you can try to comprehend the immovable mountain. As for the disadvantage, it is that you are easily threatened by short weapons when you are close to them. You are not so flexible, so you must focus on practicing defensive skills."
"There are three levels of being immovable like a mountain. The first level is called Spear Like a Mountain. This level means that you have brought the characteristics of the spear into full play. Imagine that the spear in your hand is a mountain. You don't need to be afraid of any attack from your opponent, whether it's a breeze or a strong wind. What can it do to your spear mountain? Within three feet is a restricted area. No one can break through."
Lin Zhen nodded: "No wonder, with your spear in hand, I feel like you are as unshakable as a mountain. I have basically exerted my speed in the battle just now, but I still can't break through your spear defense. Is this what it means to be like a mountain?"
"That's right. I have comprehended the first level, Gun is Like a Mountain. As long as I have the gun, you can't break my defense. Of course, the difference in strength between the two sides can't be too big. If you continue to attack me, I will run out of energy and lose. Besides, I feel that your speed has not reached its limit, otherwise I won't be able to resist you. After all, the most unbeatable thing in the world is speed."
Zhang Guanyue wiped the sweat off his face and said, "If you can comprehend the Gun is Like a Mountain, then with your speed, unless your opponent is several times stronger than you, before you run out of strength, I'm afraid the opponent won't be able to break your defense. So if you use this move, you will definitely be much stronger than me."
"What about the second level?"
"I am also trying to figure out the second level of combat skills. I call the second level 'Body Like a Mountain'."
"As tall as a mountain?"
“That’s right. In the first level, you still need a spear in your hand and defense based on spear skills. But the second level is different. Your body is a mountain. You can use any weapon, even bare hands, to make the defense perfect. At that time, you can get rid of your dependence on the spear. However, I haven’t comprehended this level yet. I guess there is no hope for me in this lifetime,” Zhang Guanyue said with a smile.
Lin Zhen nodded again. It seemed that this level of realm was even more difficult to comprehend.
"There is also a third level. The third level is called a heart like a mountain. At that time, even if you just stand there, you can give people a feeling of a towering mountain. There is no need to fight. Many people will not be able to stand your momentum and will be overwhelmed by you. But this thing is also a vague feeling for me. You can just listen to it."
After Zhang Guanyue finished talking about the three realms, he patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder and said, "You have already learned the basic skills of spearmanship, and I have nothing else to teach you. You still have one day tomorrow, so you can comprehend the spear like a mountain in my yard. As long as you succeed, you will graduate. If you fail."
"What is success? What is failure?"
"Success is simple. See that pine tree in the yard? You practice spearmanship under the tree, and pine needles fall down. If none of them can reach the ground within three feet around you, it's a success. If any pine needles fall on you or on the ground, it's a failure."
Lin Zhen glanced at the tree and then smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I fail, I will still give you the 10 million."
"Hey, that's not what I meant. I mean I'm sweaty and I'm going to take a shower first."
Zhang Guanyue's thoughts were exposed, and he turned away embarrassedly.
Lin Zhen did not enter the house, but walked to a huge pine tree in the yard.
This tree is the only tree in the yard. According to Zhang Guanyue, he doesn't want to leave this tree even if he moves.
This tree is indeed growing well. It is as tall as five or six stories high and as thick as seven or eight people can hug together. The pine needles on it are still green.
Lin Zhen leaned against a tree, the breeze blew and the night grew darker.
In his hand, he always held the Black Dragon Spear.
"Comprehension is definitely not an easy thing. Zhang Guanyue just told me his experience, but it may not be suitable for me. There are thousands of ways to practice martial arts, but in the end they will all lead to the same destination. I just need to find the way that suits me best."
"The gun in my hand is my partner, my most trustworthy and closest partner. Since I have chosen the path of practicing gun, I must stick to it."
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a wooden spear or a golden spear. As long as I believe in it and myself, it will protect me, kill enemies for me, and fight for me. Even if we can’t understand each other’s minds, we should treat it as a part of ourselves, not just a weapon.”
While Lin Zhen was thinking, the moon was at its highest point in the sky. Zhang Guanyue came out and looked at Lin Zhen once, then turned around and walked back into the house. He had a feeling that maybe this Lin Zhen could really create a miracle. He was a martial arts genius.
He sat there motionless for the entire night, until a hint of dawn appeared in the east, and then Lin Zhen opened his eyes.
"I think I understand. The spear technique of being immovable as a mountain is the unity of man and spear. The spear is a part of the body. With my excellent nerve reaction and my unparalleled speed, I can put all the defenses in place and be as immovable as a mountain!"
"Of course, I'm going to try to combine man and gun into one!"
Lin Zhen suddenly stood up from under the tree and began to wave the spear in his hand.
He did not use any offensive moves, but only used defensive techniques such as flicking, blocking, lifting, hanging and slashing.
The speed of dancing became faster and faster. As Lin Zhen's spear dancing speed increased, the pine needles on the tree began to fall.
One pine needle, ten pine needles, a hundred pine needles.
Although it is winter now, pine trees are not afraid of the cold. There are so many pine needles on them that they are impossible to count. When they fall, they are like raindrops.
The three-foot area around Lin Zhen is his defense range. Every pine needle is an attack, and he cannot let any pine needle fall.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish!”
In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen had knocked down fifty pine needles.
There was a burst of gunfire, and a pine needle fell to the ground in front of Lin Zhen.
"Failed. If this was an enemy attack, it would have broken through my defense."
"Pine needles fall very fast and are a bit erratic. If you miss the target by even a little bit, you won't be able to hit them. This kind of defense is difficult."
"But it's not difficult. Anyone can understand it, right?"
Lin Zhen took a deep breath and started his second attempt.
This time, Lin Zhen shot down seventy pine needles before he failed.
"It's not enough, come again!"
The third time, Lin Zhen shot down a hundred pine needles, and one still fell on his shoulder.
The fourth time, one hundred and fifty.
The fifth time...
From light to sunrise, from sunrise to noon, and from noon to dusk, Lin Zhen only had a meal at noon, and spent the rest of the time practicing shooting.
As the sun set, Lin Zhen's movements not only did not slow down, but became even faster.
With every shot, the pine needles would be easily swept away, with a force that was neither too strong nor too weak. Outside the three-foot radius around him, the pine needles had piled up to nearly a foot thick, but within the three-foot radius, there was not a single pine needle.
"That's the feeling! That's the feeling!"
"I have found the feeling of a mountain. My gun is a mountain. These pine needles can't do anything to the mountain. This is the realm of a gun being like a mountain!"
"But I still feel like I'm a little short of it. The number of pine needles falling is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be hard to truly comprehend. I need a more violent attack. If only it could rain now, it would be great. I have a feeling that even if a heavy rain falls, I can knock down every drop of rain within a three-foot range!"
Just when Lin Zhen's feeling was getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Guanyue, who had not shown up for a day, finally showed up.
He was holding a large basin in his hand, which was full of water, and the water was black.
Zhang Guanyue strode towards Lin Zhen, holding a basin of water and yelling, "Lin Zhen, this is my foot washing water. If even a drop falls on your clothes, get out!"
A basin of black water poured down over my head, and the sky was filled with black water, which was more violent than a rainstorm.
Lin Zhen, who had already reached the finishing touch of his training, shouted loudly, and the spear in his hand suddenly danced wildly, with the speed suddenly increasing several times faster than before.
Every movement was in place, and every attack was accurate. In Lin Zhen's eyes, these water droplets were enemies, and no enemy could be let go.
All I saw was a flash of light and a surge of electric current, and then everything returned to calm in an instant.
Lin Zhen put away his gun and stood up, his chest heaving violently.
Three feet around him, the pine needles were all wet, but within three feet of him, there was not a drop of water on the ground!
Bang!
Zhang Guanyue threw the basin directly to the ground and said to Lin Zhen with a smile: "Congratulations, Lin Zhen, you have done an excellent job. Your power of immovable as a mountain has surpassed mine. I can tell you now that you have graduated!"
I would like to express my gratitude to all the book friends who support me here. I see many people giving rewards, recommending, or leaving messages of encouragement. Your words of encouragement are my motivation. I will work hard to write and think of ideas to repay you.
There are still many things I can't stand. As for books, no matter what kind of book it is, some people like to read it and some don't. I would like to advise those who don't like to read it, just don't read it. I write books only for people who like to read them. I can't do anything about those who don't like to read them. Goodbye.
I would like to ask for votes from those who like to watch this. A new day has begun. If anyone has any recommendations, please vote for them.
