With the boost of Lightning Ion, Lin Zhen felt a difference in his spear attack immediately.

It was nothing but fast!

Whoosh!

A raging wind swept by, countless spear lights hit the waterfall like rain beating the banana plants, and the speed of the attack was more than one-third faster than before!

“Such a fast spear skill! This is what a spear skill should be like, I guess ‘everything can be broken except speed’ means this!”

Lin Zhen’s heart surged with excitement as he launched the first move of the Nine Layers Spear River skill smoothly.

A group of spear shadows enveloped Lin Zhen, stirring up waves in the pond. If someone were filming this from above at that moment, they would see such a scene.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a group of spear shadows erupted. The waterfall in front of him shattered under the impact, but no one could see how he made the attack, only feeling the rumbling sound.

Perhaps only with a high-speed camera set to at least thirty-six times slower playback could one see Lin Zhen’s arm trembling like crazy, followed by large clusters of spear lights rolling and the raging wind tearing through everything!

It was not until the early morning that Lin Zhen finally perfectly integrated Lightning Ion with his Stormy Wind Spear Skill, creating his unique move.

“Next, I have to practice the second level of the Nine Layers Spear River, the Storm. Under this waterfall, the water droplets are like rain, which is the perfect place to practice Storm. However, with the change brought by Lightning Ion, I have to rename my spear skill.”

“As it’s enhanced by thunder and lightning, and relies on speed to win, this set of spear skills shall be called Thunderous Nine Transformations!” “Wind and rain as the form, thunder and lightning as the soul, watch my

Storm!”

Lin Zhen wielded his spear and began practicing the second level of spear skill under the waterfall.

With the speed brought by Lightning Ion, Lin Zhen had to re-master his spear skills to use them as naturally as his own limbs and make them really useful in battle.

While Lin Zhen was practicing the second level, Storm, it was already morning. Although there were not many people in the Water Park in winter, some people still came for morning exercises. When the park management staff came to the waterfall area to open the gate, they heard the tumultuous commotion inside. The old park keeper who came to check quickly locked up half of the park once he saw the scene.

As he walked away, he muttered, “These martial artists really have too much energy. Don’t they have martial arts halls to practice in? They’re making a mess in the pond in the middle of the night, cracking the ice. I have to lock the gate so ordinary people won’t enter. If someone gets hurt, the martial artist can just walk away, leaving me with no place to even scrape a living.”

Thanks to the cautious actions of the old park keeper, half of the park remained closed, which not only provided Lin Zhen a convenient space for practice but also made it easier for anyone who came later to enter.

Just like that, Lin Zhen practiced from morning until around eight in the morning without any disturbance and finally mastered the second level of Storm completely.

Compared to the Stormy Wind Spear Skill, Storm was even faster. When he swung it, the wind and clouds rolled, and lightning flashed. Lin Zhen was so surprised by the speed that he almost couldn’t believe it was possible for a warrior of his stage.

During this time, Lin Zhen even heard his phone ringing, but he didn’t have any intention of answering it. At this moment, what he wanted most was to practice the third level, Waterfall Spear Skill, in one go.

This was the perfect place to practice it, as it was a waterfall. Even just a little comprehension of the Waterfall Spear Skill would greatly enhance Lin Zhen’s strength.

However, Lin Zhen encountered some difficulties this time.

The first two levels of Stormy Wind and Rain shared some similarities, and having already grasped them before, it was not difficult for Lin Zhen to now practice them with the power of Lightning Ion.

But the Waterfall Spear skill was different. It focused on landing a powerful blow like a galaxy falling from the sky to defeat the opponent in one strike.

In his previous life, when Lin Zhen learned the Nine Layers Spear River, he only practiced the first level and had never studied the second or third levels. Naturally, starting over now was somewhat difficult, and he struggled for a while in the pond without finding the key to mastering the skill.

“Waterfall! Descending from the heavens, it emphasizes using an overwhelming force to defeat the opponent. It should be relentless, unyielding to any difficulties or obstacles in the way and unwavering in its pursuit.”

“The force should be applied like this, the angle of the spear should be like this, my Lightning Ion speed boost should be like this… but why does it still feel off? I can’t seem to find the perfect way to exert force. I’ve studied all the methods related to this move, but where is the problem?”

Lin Zhen was practicing in the water, completely losing track of time, when suddenly he heard laughter from the side.

“Hahaha! I can’t believe there’s someone this stupid, practicing martial arts alone in this icy and snowy water, looking like a drowned rat, yet not even managing to master a single move. And to think, the Gale Martial Arts Hall takes you seriously. But with your current abilities, even if they let you return to Gale, what could you do?”

Hearing this mockery, Lin Zhen came to his senses and looked back.

On the shore stood a tall martial artist whose height was no less than that of the Russian Nelov, exceptionally burly and muscular. He held a giant metal shield that was about 1.7 meters in height in one hand and a large sword that resembled a wooden plank in the other.

Moreover, he was wearing a combat uniform, which was the latest model developed by the science department. It looked lightweight, but its defense was incredibly impressive, able to resist bullets and withstand blade attacks.

On his chest was embroidered the symbol of the Long Wind Martial Arts Academy, which identified his affiliation.

Lin Zhen took a closer look and found that the man seemed familiar.

One of the Long Wind Four Gods, though he couldn’t recall his exact name. These four were quite famous among the War General Stage; while they had a seemingly limited realm, their actual strength was off the charts, and each of them had countless experiences of defeating opponents of higher ranks.

“What are you doing here from Long Wind?” Lin Zhen deliberately asked.

“Heh, don’t pretend like you don’t know why I’m here. Tell me, was Xu Mao killed by you Demon Hunters?”

Standing in the water, Lin Zhen slowly waded ashore: “I don’t know who this Xu Mao is, but I’ve killed many people. What martial artist hasn’t? If someone dies, there must be a reason.”

“Quite the talker, aren’t you? Let me ask you another question: What’s the deal with our Chen Jingchou? Why did you resort to such underhanded tactics to finish him off? Who are your accomplices and how many of you were involved?”

Lin Zhen sneered. It seemed that they only suspected him for the two incidents and had no concrete evidence. That made things easier.

“Boring. I have nothing to do with the people you mentioned. I didn’t come here to waste my breath on you. I have things to do and can’t entertain you any longer.”

Lin Zhen went ashore and was about to pick up his phone when Tie Shan laughed: “Kid, it seems you haven’t grasped the situation. You’re planning to go back to Gale Martial Arts Hall, right? I can assure you that you’ll never have the chance to go back there again.”

Tie Shan looked around and nodded: “This place has nice scenery. It seems that you’re aware that your time is up and have chosen such a picturesque spot for your final resting place. Then, I have no choice but to help fulfill your wish.” “Do you think you can pull that off?” Lin Zhen scoffed.

Tie Shan’s expression darkened: “Just watch me bring you to pieces with a single slash!”

With that, he roared and raised his sword and shield, looking incredibly fierce and awe-inspiring, drawing everyone’s attention.

But at that moment, Lin Zhen suddenly spun around, raised his hand, and thrust his spear!

He performed the entire sequence in one smooth movement, and a metallic crash rang out in the air!

As Lin Zhen drew his spear back with a graceful arc, a golden sniper bullet fell to the ground!

To be able to knock down a sniper bullet using a spear, what kind of speed was this?

Tie Shan’s eyes widened, and he forgot to lower his raised arm, unable to believe what had just happened..
