《The Golden Throne》Chapter 40

“Are you sure that you want to take the spear? It is a relatively hard weapon to use if you do not have a strong body. You will suffer immediately. You should practise another weapon and slowly get that flexibility and muscle you need.”

“Thank you for your concern teacher, but I am sure that I can handle this”

“Arrogant children.”, the teacher scoffed, and led Liu Feng to a secluded part of the training field. He then took a spear from the bucket of spears already there.

“I am the teacher of the spear, Yue Zhifeng. What’s your name, boy?”

“My name is Liu Feng sir.”, Liu Feng stood upright.

“Now, there are multiple types of spears, but we will work with this nine feet nine inches one here. Remember, that this is the maximum height of a spear. Any more and it will lose it’s rigidity. Nine is the supreme number, and nine nine is the spear’s limit. Now I will teach you how to use the spears' most basic strokes, striking, cracking, pointing, penetrating, scooping, pulling, and twisting. Here, watch carefully as I demonstrate to you how to use them.”. Yue Zhifeng stepped forward and suddenly thrust the spear forward at Liu Feng. Liu Feng retreated, but it seemed that the spear followed him wherever he went. He struck the spear aside, and retreated to the other. He shouted, “What did you do that for?”

“Is that the way you speak to your teacher? Run three laps around the ground.”

Liu Feng was shocked at the attitude of his teacher. But he had to obey the command, and started running. Yue Zhifeng sat down and took a look at the spear’s handle, where Liu Feng struck it. It had a distinct imprint of Liu Feng’s hand.

“Interesting, interesting. To think that someone like this appeared as a freshman. Hmmm, this world truly will belong to the young’uns.”, he laughed to himself.

Liu Feng took about fifteen minutes to complete running, as he did not want to deplete his stamina reserves. He had a premonition that he was going to need it today. Yue Zhifeng taught Liu Feng how to hold the spear, and how to maintain the proper body posture for doing that. He also taught him how to thrust the spear forward in the most basic way possible. It was still very difficult for Liu Feng. The spear had a very steep skill curve, and was considered one of the most difficult weapons to master, and use. Liu Feng knew this, but he did not expect it to be this difficult. Bookish knowledge truly could not compare to experiences in the real world.

Liu Feng also could not fathom how Yue Zhifeng could thrust the spear so far forward that it followed him wherever he went. It was as if it was a heat seeking missile, unable to be dodged. Liu Feng spent the rest of the hour honing his control of the spear, and perfecting his grip and posture. The bell rang again, but Liu Feng did not want it to. After a very long time, Liu Feng was finally challenged by ordinary standards. But, rules were rules, and he did not want to break them this early, so he went to the next class, magic history. The rest of the class was so tired and everyone practically collapsed on their chairs.

“That teacher is the devil. He made us run two whole laps around the ground, and then made us strike the heavy sword about a hundred times. My hands are so sore right now, they aren’t even moving.”

“Wow! My teacher is so cool. She did not do anything, and we just practised some basic swings of the light sword and just chatted the entire time.”

“Ohh, so lucky”
