Chapter 48: My Senior Brother Sure Has An Attitude (2/2)

Next, his body started moving along with the mantra. The spear was stabbed forward again and again, emitting crackling electrical currents with an extremely destructive power that one would be hard-pressed to defend against.

Although Xiang Shaoyun acted like he was above learning a tier-2 battle technique, he still paid full attention to the mantra Zi Changhe was chanting. He also memorized each move Zi Changhe demonstrated. As he listened and watched, his gifts of instincts and visualization were both activated.

By the time Zi Changhe was done teaching, Xiang Shaoyun had completely memorized the mantra and the moves to heart.

”Do you remember them all?” Zi Changhe asked strictly.

”Yes.” Xiang Shaoyun nodded.

Naturally, Zi Changhe did not believe him. ”Read them out loud then.”

Xiang Shaoyun proceeded to chant the entire mantra without missing a single word. By the time he was done, Zi Changhe was already completely stupefied. The mantra wasn't exactly long, but an ordinary person would only be able to memorize it after more than 10 attempts. This kid had memorized it after listening to it once.

”Senior brother, don't look at me like that. I know, I know, I am a genius with a photographic memory,” Xiang Shaoyun said vainly.

That earned him a slap on the back of his head. Zi Changhe said, ”What are you being all proud about? If you can unleash 3 percent of the Lightning Spear Technique's power in a day, I will acknowledge that you're a genius.”

”Don't hit my head!” Xiang Shaoyun protested before he a.s.sumed a solemn look and said, ”What? Only 3 percent? You are looking down on me! I can comprehend at least 10 percent of a trash technique like this in one day!”

”Sure, you said it yourself. If you can do it, I will teach you a tier-3 battle technique and give you something nice as well,” Zi Changhe said and left.

Zi Changhe had always been a straightforward person who would never dilly-dally. Even Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but praise his senior brother. ”My senior brother sure has an att.i.tude. It's a pity he's quite weak. Oh well, I'll just impart him some of my knowledge in the future to help him grow stronger. I suppose with his increased strength, even seducing a few young married women would be nothing difficult for him then.”

Zi Changhe had yet to completely leave. So when he heard Xiang Shaoyun's words, he staggered and nearly crashed into the ground. He, Zi Changhe, needed Xiang Shaoyun to impart him some knowledge? So that he could seduce some young married women? That kid truly knew how to talk big!

After Zi Changhe left, Xiang Shaoyun lifted a spear. This was a tier-2 spear called Lightning Spear, which Zi Changhe had left before leaving. The spear had a matching name with the battle technique he was about to practice.

Xiang Shaoyun did not start practicing directly. Rather, images of Zi Changhe's demonstration appeared in his mind one after another, as if Zi Changhe had appeared before him once again. As the images flitted through his mind again and again, Xiang Shaoyun gained a comprehensive understanding of all the moves. He had even discovered all the openings of the moves as well.

About an hour later, Xiang Shaoyun finally started practicing. Initially, he moved slowly. Each stab of his was extremely textbook-like. After he familiarized himself with the Lightning Spear Technique, he started moving faster.

One time, two times, three times...

In the span of one morning, Xiang Shaoyun repeated the moves of the Lightning Spear Technique countless times. He even fixed some of the openings of the moves, further perfecting the spear technique.

”The Lightning Spear Technique's essence is in its lightning-fast speed, able to attack when the opponent least expects an attack. It can also transform astral energy into lightning to unleash extremely destructive attacks. This technique focuses not only on speed; similar emphasis is placed on strength as well. It is not easy to perfectly fuse both speed and strength,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered as he pondered the technique after having some smoked meat for lunch.

At present, he had already grasped the technique's key moves. He only needed to add his astral energy into the equation, and he would be able to see how much of the technique's power he could unleash for now.

After a short break, Xiang Shaoyun started practicing for real. He stabbed his spear repeatedly while his astral energy surged into the spear, unleas.h.i.+ng streams of purple spear energy.
