BXBX NOVEL Chapter 10 Getting A Spear
Please vote with power stones. It supports me a lot, and if I get a hundred power stones by the end of the week, then I will release five extra chapters
"You expect me to believe that you met a master who gave you some power, and completely restructured your body?" Liu Jian had a hard time believing what I said. I knew that I would. I couldn\'t believe what the system made me do. I mean, a master in seclusion did this for fun?
"Yes. That is the truth about what happened." I said reluctantly.
"Alright then. If you don\'t want to tell me, then I will leave it at that. Your father helped me a lot, and I owe him a few. Go. Do whatever you were doing." he turned away.
"Elder. Actually there is something that I wanted to ask you. Is there any way that I could get a spear? I want to start learning spear arts, and I do not have a spear." I asked him. It was part of the daily missions, so I had to get along with it anyways.
"You want to learn spear arts of all things? The rumors are true. You really are an idiot. Do you not know that the spear is the toughest weapon to master? We do not have spear masters in the family, so there are no spear arts as well." Liu Jian scoffed.
"Actually, elder, the senior who did this to me also gave me a few spear moves and he told me that if I followed them, then I would be able to achieve something decent. So that is why I wanted to try them out." I said, crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
"You are still going with that story? Fine then. I will see what you do. Go choose a spear from what we have. You can choose only the mortal ranked weapons. Nothing else." Liu Jian shook his head.
"Thank You elder!" I said cheerfully and I ran into the far end of the room, where the spears were located.
"System, which spear is best for the Blue Dragon Spear Art?"
"User still has not purchased the skill, so nothing can be said as of yet." the system said.
"Fine, you money grubbing idiot. Buy the Blue Dragon Spear Art." I said, clenching my teeth.
"Blue Dragon Spear Art obtained. Three skill points used. Relevant information will be transmitted to Host\'s brain." the system pinged.
"To my brain? What the hell do you mean? Are you- Oww!"
Images and videos of a man holding the spear and wielding it sped through my memories. I could see this man using the spear, turning it, stabbing it, and it just seemed so majestic. And then he jumped. As he jumped, I could see a vague outline of a dragon rumbling, waiting to prowl on something. It was unreal.
"Host should choose the spear on the right, three paces forward. It is the best choice for the Blue Dragon Spear Art." the system suddenly said.
I nodded and did the same. I went up to the spear that the system was pointing to. It was an unassuming weapon. Pitch black, and a shiny spear head. At nine feet and nine inches, or so I estimated, it was pretty tall and definitely taller than it was supposed to be.
I took it and tried twirling it around. I had to know if I could actually use it. For such a big weapon though, it was surprisingly wieldable. I was able to lift it up, and that was a surprise in itself. I did that effortlessly. So, I held it and headed out. Liu Jian looked at me with his eyebrows up.
"You are choosing that? Are you sure? A nine foot spear is not for everyone. Are you even able to swing that around?" he asked me.
"My the senior\'s grace, I am now able to do many things, Elder. I will go and try learning those moves now." I said.
"Fine. That will be the weapon that you get from the armory. All the young ones are given one anyway, and you never got one for yourself." Liu Jian sighed.
Ping!
User has completed Daily Mission 2. Weapon acquired. 300 exp awarded.
"How much more do I need to level up?" I asked.
"What did you just say?" Liu Jian asked me, coming right behind me.
"Nothing, elder. I was just muttering to myself." I quickly covered up for myself and took a few steps forward to put a little distance between me and him. But it seemed that he no longer cared because he turned away.
"That was a close one. I should be careful about who is around me when I talk to the system. If only there is a way that the system can be accessed without so many words." I thought to myself as I left the building.
"The feature for host to talk to system telepathically will unlock in the next system update, scheduled at level 20." the system suddenly said.
I looked around and confirmed that there was no one there.
"And how the hell did you hear me now?" I demanded to know.
"Error. Beyond User\'s authority." the system buzzed.
"Damn this." I cursed and left the building. Old Tian looked at me lazily, and then at the spear.
"Come back when you fail. It would be bad to let you leave with a weapon that you cannot use. After you are done with this charade, I will give you a good sword. Pity, you are wasting the little of the golden time that you do have left." he said as he relaxed on the chair that he sat on.
"Who is Old Tian? He is able to talk so disrespectfully to an elder, and a young lord, and yet he is the guard of a place that is so important? He must be one of those hidden masters of the family." I realized.
"I will try my best, and if it doesn\'t work out, then I will be in your care." I bowed slightly to Old Tian and ran to the training field. I could see him smiling faintly. He was clearly amused by my response.
