Chapter 215 - Whats The Grade And Rank (2/2)
Despite that, the two elders were actually thinking, “Oh, General Chen. Even if you see something great, you should still be reserved; an officer from the Prefecture Military Camp is here.’
With different thoughts, everyone entered the courtyard, and they were immediately greeted with spear shadows.
Chen Yifan flashed as he held the spear, and he moved with the weapon like a legendary dragon. As he wielded the weapon, it looked like an azure dragon mounting the clouds or riding the mist playfully in the courtyard.
Without warning, the legendary dragon turned and seemingly stared at the other people.
As a result, everyone else was fearful. It was as though the lights transformed from the spear shadows were a legendary dragon as a whole, and that it could swallow all of them in one bite.
Old Craftsman and the two other old Military Fire Blacksmiths felt a chill down their spines when they sensed the cold-intent from the spear shadows. They slowly s.h.i.+fted forward to stay further away.
On the other hand, Ou Yangming and Zhang Mingzhe watched attentively. The captain was in awe and thought the general was worthy of his t.i.tle; the general’s cultivation base was far from his reach.
Ou Yangming beamed with joy. His understanding of the Chen family’s spear technique had already improved from the past, hence he verified his gained knowledge as he watched Chen Yifan’s spear technique. The young fella was overjoyed because he felt like he had advanced further again. Chen Yifan suddenly lowered the spear tip to the ground and moved while he dragged the spear by the end of the handle. He yelled after he took a few steps, then the spear tip bounced up like a venomous snake and was prodded in the void.
The general gathered all his essence, energy, and spirit in the movement. If someone was following closely behind him at that instant, the person would have turned into powder due to the irresistible force.
When the general performed the Chen family’s Back Spear Thrust, there was a different charm to it. “Great spear technique!”
A number of people entered the courtyard at that moment. The leader among them was a tall man who had a smile on his face. He looked like he had lived like a prince for a long time, but his eyes looked so sharp that n.o.body dared to look at him in the eye.
Chen Yifan withdrew his spear and stood still. He greeted in a serious tone, “General Li!”
Zhang Mingzhe even kneeled halfway to the ground and greeted, “General Li!” Ou Yangming and his companions were informed of the man’s ident.i.ty right away, so they bowed to greet him too. Old Craftsman and Ou Yangming acted normally because they had been seeing the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors; Zhong Yunda and w.a.n.g Zhongtong trembled with fear and did not know where to put their hands.
“You may get up.” Li Xinfan nodded smilingly. “Yifan, your spear technique has improved again; the Chen family has a successor.”
“Thank you for your praise, general. My spear technique is still the same, but this spear…” Chen Yifan responded seriously. He asked after a moment of hesitation, “Ou Yangming, what’s the grade and rank of this spear?”
The general had seen countless spears because he had been practicing spear techniques from young, hence he was also familiar with their grades and ranks. That said, Chen Yifan could not identify the real grade and rank of the spear in his hands.
It was quite unbelievable for him.
In actuality, Chen Yifan had a vague guess in his mind, but it was a one-sided guess, so he could not bring himself to ask the question.
Li Xinfan laughed out loud. “Yifan, your eyesight is getting poorer. Let me take a look at it.”
Chen Yifan was undecided, but he could only hand the spear to General Li reluctantly.
Li Xinfan scolded jokingly, “Young fella, when have you become so stingy and sensitive… Hey?” The general paused all of a sudden, and his face slowly took on a grim expression as he studied the spear closely.
“Is… Is this… A magic tool?” He exclaimed after a brief moment.
He was a Supreme Great Ancestor, yet he forgot himself.
Nonetheless, it was not strange because the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors were not much better when they first saw Ou Yangming smith a magic tool. “A magic tool? Is that really a magic tool?” Chen Yifan exclaimed, and his eyes glowed. He had a feeling that it was a magic tool, but it was such an absurd statement that he dared not say it earlier.
“Great spear, great spear!” Li Xinfan uttered as he wielded the spear. He was envious, but he also gave his praise openly.
The other people thought, ‘Isn’t that a given? If a magic tool isn’t considered a great spear, what other equipment in the world deserves to be a great weapon?’
Chen Yifan stared at the spear. He wanted to take it back, but he did not have the guts to make a move.
He was a commanding general for a camp, had authority, came from an influential family, and was far more knowledgeable than ordinary people. However, those were the reasons he knew better than anyone else what a magic tool represented.
The piece of equipment was not something he could possess.
Even if Chen Yifan cultivated his whole life and was lucky enough to become a great ancestor, he was unlikely to acquire a magic tool.
Now, the opportunity of getting a magic tool was right in front of the general. His heart moved with the spear when Li Xinfan wielded it, and his heartbeat constantly fluctuated.
Li Xinfan finally stopped after some time. As Chen Yifan looked at him eagerly and with concern, he asked, “Yifan, where did you get this magic tool?”
