Chapter 177 - 125: Star-Piercing (Part 2)
In that moment, he was no longer the number one Martial Artist in Dongjiang.
He wasn’t the pillar supporting his entire family.
He was just the youngest member of the family.
On the other end of the video call, Lin Tao looked at his son, his eyes red.
"Xiaoye, Dad is proud of you!"
...
「A week passed in the blink of an eye.」
Inside Ouyang Ye’s exclusive workshop at the Myrrh Forge.
"Try it."
Ouyang Ye’s voice carried a hint of fatigue, but more than that, it held the satisfaction and relief of a completed work.
He handed a long spear, which had been resting quietly on the forge, to Lin Ye.
Joy bloomed in Lin Ye’s heart.
He had been looking forward to this day for a very long time.
It was a long spear, entirely jet-black, with countless strange, light-blue patterns covering its shaft.
The patterns seemed to flow under the light, as if a brilliant river of stars had been branded onto the spear’s shaft.
The spearhead was not the traditional diamond or conical shape, but a multi-faceted structure. Each face was incredibly sharp, and the tip converged into a single point of cold light that felt like it could pierce one’s very soul with a glance.
The entire spear was like a perfect work of art, filled with a mysterious and powerful beauty.
Lin Ye reached out and grasped the long spear.
The moment it was in his hand, he was a little surprised.
’It’s too light.’
The spear was so light it felt almost weightless.
"To complement your Martial Arts Spirituality, I used a special hollow-keel structure for the shaft’s interior."
Ouyang Ye seemed to have noticed his confusion and began to explain.
Hearing this, Chen Meng, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of worry on his face.
He was straightforward and didn’t mince words, speaking his mind directly: "A weapon that’s too light can actually be a disadvantage for a Martial Artist who already has considerable strength. It can affect the feel of putting power into a strike."
"And with a hollow structure, can its strength really withstand high-pressure combat?"
Ouyang Ye shot Chen Meng a glance and snorted coldly. "A normal spear could never be forged like this. That would be suicide."
"But his is different."
"Kid, use your power to fill its core!"
Lin Ye nodded without the slightest hesitation.
With a thought, he mobilized a small portion of his Spiritual Power.
The next moment, the jet-black spear in his hand seemed to come alive!
The river-of-stars pattern on the shaft suddenly lit up, and a faint purple radiance surged into the hollow shaft!
VMMMM—!
The spear let out a low hum. At its tip, a layer of dazzling purple crystal instantly formed, and its sharp glint flared so intensely it was hard to keep one’s eyes open!
Chen Meng’s eyes lit up instantly!
’That’s it!’
’This is the feeling!’
The impression the spear had given him before was that it was all flash and no substance. It was beautiful, yes, but it lacked the sharpness and killing aura a deadly weapon ought to have.
But now, after being infused with Lin Ye’s Martial Arts Spirituality, it had truly transformed into a vicious weapon that seemed to choose its victims to devour!
Chen Meng looked at Lin Ye.
It was the first time he had ever seen such pure surprise and satisfaction in Lin Ye’s eyes.
Chen Meng knew that Lin Ye loved this spear.
With the enhancement from his Martial Arts Spirituality, all the problems he had mentioned before were no longer issues.
Of course Lin Ye loved it!
He discovered that the spear—forged from some unknown materials and metals—had achieved a perfect Resonance with his Crystalization ability.
Using Crystalization on this spear consumed several times less Spiritual Power than creating a purple crystal spear from thin air!
At the same time, the shaft’s overall strength, resilience, and conductivity for Crystalization energy far surpassed any spear he had ever used before!
Just then, Ouyang Ye’s two apprentices carried an incredibly heavy alloy dummy and placed it in the center of the courtyard.
Ouyang Ye gestured toward it with his chin.
"This dummy is made of G-7 titanium-nickel alloy. Its Defense Power is comparable to most Level 6 and below Celestial Abyss Race members known for their defense."
"Give it a try."
Lin Ye nodded.
He walked up to the alloy dummy and took his stance.
Cloud-Piercing Army-Breaking Spear Skill, First Form.
Straight Thrust!
Lin Ye’s arm jolted, and the spear transformed into a straight bolt of dark purple lightning, thrusting out fiercely!
SHHNK!
A nearly inaudible sound, like a hot knife slicing through butter.
Everyone present, including Lin Ye himself, watched in astonishment as the spear passed through the alloy dummy’s chest without any resistance, the tip emerging from its back.
Lin Ye hadn’t used the Qi and Blood eruption technique of the Vein Opening Realm.
He hadn’t even charged up for a powerful strike or channeled his spear’s momentum.
But the power unleashed by this incredibly basic thrust was utterly terrifying!
The whole process was even eerily quiet.
So effortless... it was like piercing a block of tofu.
Lin Ye was a little stunned.
He knew better than anyone that if he had used one of the standard-issue spears from before, there would have been only one outcome for such a strike against a target of this hardness.
The spear tip would have shattered, turning his spear into a staff.
But now...
Lin Ye withdrew the spear and looked at the hole in the dummy’s chest.
The edges of the hole were as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest trace of curling or tearing.
This meant that the moment the spear tip entered, its inherent sharpness and power had completely pulverized the alloy’s internal structure!
’This spear... is ridiculously powerful!’
GULP.
Ouyang Ye’s two apprentices swallowed hard, their Adam’s apples bobbing. They looked at Lin Ye with eyes full of awe and fear.
They had been standing closest to that last thrust.
In that instant, they had both felt themselves locked on by the spear’s intent.
It was as if, had the spear tip so much as grazed them, their bodies would have been silently pierced through, just like the alloy dummy.
Chen Meng’s eyes narrowed slightly, a storm of shock raging in his heart.
He could feel that the boost this spear gave to Lin Ye’s martial techniques was nothing short of outrageous!
