Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 226: Chapter 144: Objective Achieved, Heading to the Grandmaster Realm!_2

Everyone was exhausted. They all went to wash up and hit the sack, no more funny business!

「June 24th.」

At eleven o’clock in the morning, the sun was high in the sky.

This was the latest Zhang Beixing had gotten up since his rebirth.

He climbed out of bed, the aroma of food drifting in from the courtyard enticing him.

Zhang Beixing dressed, brushed his teeth, and washed up, then casually strolled into the kitchen. Seeing a woman busy by the stove, he asked, ”Auntie, what delicious dish are you making? It’s so fragrant that it woke me from my sleep. By that smell, are you stewing pork knuckles?”

”Haha, yes, I am. I figured, after you and Ah Yi risked your necks last night fighting terrorists—even though it turned out to be a misunderstanding—you both must be tired. You both worked hard, so I had to make something special to reward you. Go wash your hands; the meal will be ready soon!”

”Alright, thanks, Auntie!” Zhang Beixing said cheerily and scampered off to wash his hands.

After lunch, Zhang Beixing originally wanted to hang out with Sophia Zhou.

But plans can never keep up with changes.

Liu Yi and Liu Pan made arrangements to take Zhang Beixing for Martial Arts Training, specifically to teach him the Yue Family Spear.

Because of this, Zhang Beixing had no choice but to send Sophia Zhou a message explaining the situation.

He then hurriedly packed his things and followed Liu Pan and Liu Yi to the military area.

With Liu Pan’s connections, getting into the military area wasn’t difficult, as long as they didn’t wander into any restricted zones.

The Yanjing Military Area was located on the outskirts of Yanjing. It bordered mountains and lakes and covered a vast area.

Even before entering, Zhang Beixing could hear the ”HIYAH!” shouts and chants of soldiers training, accompanied by the synchronized sound of marching footsteps emanating from the barracks.

Occasionally, there was also the sound of gunfire.

They must be conducting target practice, he thought.

He followed Liu Yi to the registration office and signed in.

After being assigned to Liu Pan’s dormitory, Zhang Beixing and Liu Yi tidied up their things.

At four in the afternoon, Zhang Beixing headed to the training field and began learning the Yue Family Spear with Liu Pan.

The Yue Family Spear, holding the prime position among the Yue Family Fist weapon techniques, boasted a unique method of attack, earning it the title of ”King of Spears.”

Liu Pan first demonstrated the technique for Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing noticed that although the movements of the Yue Family Spear appeared simple, each move was designed to subdue the enemy. It exuded an aura of profound simplicity: don’t strike unless it’s a killing blow.

Its offense included thrusting, jabbing, sweeping, and lifting; its defense featured parrying, deflecting, blocking, and yielding. Its most distinctive feature was the integration of defense and offense. This achieved a seamless blend where defensive moves contained offensive counters, and offensive moves incorporated defensive preparations, rendering opponents unable to retaliate.

According to Liu Yi, the original Yue Family Spear consisted of sixty-four techniques. However, later generations condensed it, removing superfluous elements while retaining the essence, finally settling on thirty-six techniques. And these thirty-six techniques were profound; each single technique essentially contained three variations, and each of those three variations held nine lethal applications!

Watching Liu Pan swing the Yue Family Spear with a whistling force, Zhang Beixing reflected. Even with his Power and Constitution attributes enhanced to 99.9, if it came to a real fight and he, using only his Bare Hands, faced Liu Pan wielding a spear, all he could manage would be to barely dodge. Countering would be extremely difficult.

Such was the efficacy of wielding a weapon. Of course, this came with drawbacks; if he managed to get in close, Liu Pan would be finished.

It’s incredibly strong! Zhang Beixing thought, a surge of anticipation for the Yue Family Spear rising within him.

He then picked up a spear and, under Liu Pan’s guidance, began to hone his own spear technique.

Perhaps it was his high Spirit attribute of 105. Or maybe it was because Zhang Beixing had previously learned Yue Family Fist. It could even have been Liu Pan’s excellent teaching skills. Whatever the reason, Zhang Beixing progressed rapidly. From the very start of learning the Yue Family Spear, his proficiency swiftly moved from the initial [Yue Family Spear (Proficiency): 0/100] to the current [Yue Family Spear (Entry Level) +0] in just one day.

Unfortunately, Zhang Beixing was currently strapped for cash, possessing only 0.1 Ability Points. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly maxed out the Yue Family Spear that very night. He was eager to see how powerful it would become once he reached Great Accomplishment!

Hmm... It seems I’m eager to run before I’ve properly learned to crawl!

However, for Zhang Beixing, this wasn’t truly impossible. After all, he had the System. As long as his comprehension of the Yue Family Spear was sufficient and he had enough Ability Points, breaking through to Great Accomplishment—or even beyond—was entirely possible!

Let’s take it slowly! Now that I’m in the military area and have the space, I can train in martial arts freely. Steel wire training, underwater pile-driving, the Hidden Force version of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade, I’ve missed you all so much!

With these thoughts in mind, Zhang Beixing returned to the dormitory and soon drifted off to sleep.

「The next day, at five in the morning.」

The reveille hadn’t even sounded, but Zhang Beixing was already awake.

He couldn’t help it. The thought of being in the military area, free to engage in Martial Arts Training as he pleased, made his heart surge with excitement.

After dressing, Zhang Beixing quietly left the dormitory, careful not to disturb the still-sleeping Liu Pan and Liu Yi. He found a relatively secluded spot where he wouldn’t bother anyone and began practicing the Hidden Force version of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade.

”ROAR!”

”BOOM!”

”SWOOSH—”

As he moved and threw punches, sounds like roaring tigers, booming thunder, and rushing rivers emanated from within him.

Listening to these sounds, he felt his blood boil once again under the influence of the Hidden Force version of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade. It had been nearly half a month. For some unknown reason, Zhang Beixing suddenly felt like crying.
