Hong Xi’s eyes flashed with a glint of light. The spear in his hand shot out just like a deadly snake!
Cha cha cha!
Spear shadows covered the sky!
Even with Lin Ming’s excellent eyesight, he could not clearly see Hong Xi’s spear point!
He could only use his soul force to catch up to Hong Xi’s movements. With each stab of Hong Xi’s spear, the spear point pierced a fallen leaf, rapidly turned back, and then pierced another leaf. Like this, there was a string of fallen leaves on the spear point!
As the spear shadows flashed everywhere, the fallen leaves began to rapidly disappear with a speed obvious to the naked eye. In the span of a few breaths, Hong Xi had strung together a thick stack of fallen leaves on his spear point!
Finally, there was not a single fallen leave that touched the ground.
Lin Ming could not help but exclaim at such wonderful spear skills!
It had to be known that Hong Xi’s spear point was very wide; the widest part was four finger widths wide.
But these fallen leaves were elliptical in shape. Only the long axis was over four finger widths in length; the short axis was only two finger widths.
Thus, all the fallen leaves have been pierced by spear point through their long side; otherwise, the leaf would be cut in half!
Lin Ming looked at Hong Xi’s spear point, and really did see that the several dozens of leaves that were strung together were in consistent order, it was as if they were especially organized to be that way!
The leaves were small, and their longest side was only a bit over 4 finger widths, but Hong Xi had managed to accurately pierce through all of the fallen leaves in this area, and did not cut any of the leaves apart. This control of strength caused Lin Ming to feel amazed!
Hong Xi’s spear was not only quick, but he had great control of his strength!
As the saying went, a month to use a stick, a year to train a fist, and longer to practice a spear!
The difficulty in wielding a spear was high. It was meant to thrust, the shaft was long, it was hard to grasp and hard to control. If Hong Xi had been doing this with a sword, it would have been much easier!
The sword was faster than a spear, and it was also more accurate.
But a sword could not compare with the might of a spear.
For Lin Ming, this was an eye-opener.
Hong Xi said, “Cultivate your spear like this. Practice your spear skills so that you may use several dozen spear thrusts in the time of a few breaths. These several dozen spear thrusts must not be blind; but each and every spear move must be accurate! Control your strength until you can attack and withdraw freely! This fallen leaves are the appropriate practice method!”
“These falling leaves are very fragile, they will be cut apart if you use too much strength or if your aim is poor. If you can have these several dozen leaves completely strung together on your spear point, then your spear skills will have arrived at the Small Success stage. But you only have one month of intensive practice; it will take a much longer time to practice the spear. Do not irresponsibly talk nonsense and bite off more than you can chew. At this moment, do not seek to control the force, but instead you must do everything you can to maximize your spear speed to the limit, so you can chase down Zhu Yan’s sword!
“I understand.”
With this brief meeting with Hong Xi, Lin Ming had benefitted greatly.
“Good. Practice by yourself. This will be enough to have you occupied for some time. Later I will come back to teach you the next move.”
“Thank you, Instructor Hong.”
