Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Five Tigers Gate-Breaking Spear

Chen Bo spoke until his mouth was parched, nearly reciting the entire Baidu Encyclopedia entry.

"Six-six-six-six-six, I give the streamer 166 points for pulling off this act, an extra 66 just so you know how amazing it is."

"The streamer truly is a model for those of us who master the art of showing off! I concede. I am utterly convinced, both in heart and in words; we aren't even on the same level."

"Heavens! Such natural, untainted bravado, and it came from the streamer himself! But streamer, isn't it a bit much to recite the Baidu Encyclopedia?"

"Nonsense! The streamer clearly modified it—let's call it borrowing! Didn't you see the streamer’s power level break all limits?"

"I suddenly feel sorry for the people of the other world. Meeting the streamer must be the worst luck they've had in a hundred lifetimes."

"I have a question: Who gave the streamer this idea? To think of Baidu—so brilliant!"

"This incident teaches us a life lesson: When you’re stuck with an impossible problem, don't be sad or disheartened. For somewhere in this world, there is a maiden named Lady Baidu."

"I, Ye Liangchen, express my refusal in a hundred ways!"

"Ye Liangchen? Hmph! I, Zhao Ritian, haven't spoken yet, so who are you to speak?"

"In front of me, Long Aotian, you are all mere trash! If you’re not convinced, come and let’s hurt each other!"

"My name is Ma RN, nice to meet you all."

"I thought I, Ye Liangchen, was the most outrageous, but those above are even more so. I am old, time spares no one!"

"I, Zhao Ritian, yield in full, five limbs prostrate!"

"I, Long Aotian, also yield, and with six limbs prostrate!"

"And then there’s me, the rich heir of the Milky Way."

Chen Bo listed countless examples, and Yu Shifei was slowly starting to accept his words, though she still couldn’t quite believe them. "Since you claim to be so skilled, why don’t you show me this so-called spear technique?"

Chen Bo felt like crying—how stubborn could this woman be? In the future, not only would he have to pull down his pants for a spanking, but also endure a smack on the chest! It seemed he’d said something not fit for children.

"Ahem, my injuries from a few days ago still linger. How could I demonstrate now?" Chen Bo naturally refused. Although he could recite the formulas for some spear techniques, the problem was that it might expose him!

Unexpectedly, Yu Shifei seemed to see through his thoughts. She took the spear from his hand and said, "The spear is decent, at least at the early stage of the treasure grade, just short of reaching the mid-stage. Since you’re injured, I won’t force you. Let’s set it aside for now."

Chen Bo felt a moment of relief, thinking the sun must have risen in the west. Then Yu Shifei continued, "You just said you can’t demonstrate the spear technique due to your injuries, which means you do know it! Why not recite the formulas and let me perform them? If you’re worried about others learning the technique, I can swear an oath. How about it?"

What could he say? What else could he possibly say?! Chen Bo was caught between a rock and a hard place. Baidu Encyclopedia contained plenty of spear techniques, but they were all just formulas. He had no idea how she could transform mere formulas into martial arts.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Chen Bo said, "This spear technique is called Five Tiger Gate-Breaking Spear! It consists of forty-six moves."

"First move: Step forward and pierce with the palm, second move: Slant single whip, third move: Lift the leg and strike quickly, fourth move: Azure dragon swings its tail, fifth move: Outer block and flat strike, sixth move: Clever maiden shuttles through, seventh move: Spiral wheel spear, eighth move: Fierce dragon flips, ninth move: Python hides in the grass, tenth move: Throw and counter-thrust to the waist..."

"Thirtieth move: Turn and exhale mist, thirty-first move: Divergent spear, lone steed rushes, thirty-second move: Flip and throw spear, thirty-third move: Pull spear and upper block, thirty-fourth move: Lift spear and double kick, thirty-fifth move: Drop step, pear blossom sweep, thirty-sixth move: Flat thrust to chest, thirty-seventh move: Reverse body, moon shade, thirty-eighth move: Stomp and thrust at throat, thirty-ninth move: Push spear with the current, fortieth move: Hold dart, hidden vengeance..."

After reciting the formulas for the Five Tiger Gate-Breaking Spear, Chen Bo felt a bit of admiration for himself. So many tongue-twisting moves, yet he managed to deliver them smoothly—he definitely had the makings of a great host.

Yu Shifei listened, her brows knitted. "These formulas sound like ordinary mortal martial arts, yet there’s a touch of grandmaster style, and the aura of battlefield slaughter is strong! Not simple!"

With that, she closed her eyes, suddenly stepped forward, and thrust the spear with a whistle. Chen Bo hurriedly ran far away, afraid she’d suddenly lose her mind and run him through.

The two-meter-long spear felt weightless in her hands, whistling as she swung it. Yet Yu Shifei seemed dissatisfied and quietly infused her energy into the spear.

Now things really got wild.

With a thrust like a venomous dragon plunging into the sea, Chen Bo even saw a phantom dragon flicker and disappear. The wall a dozen meters behind had a hole several meters in diameter.

"Damn! You old rascal!" Chen Bo no longer cared about anything else—this girl could even attack from a distance! And since when did Earth’s martial arts become so formidable?

System, I protest! Why can I only cultivate the martial techniques in the system? Why can’t I train in those from the Barbarian Continent, or even Earth’s techniques?

Chen Bo and the dozens of senior brothers fled as if for their lives. Mere seconds later, a few flashes of red light streaked by. The giant forge chamber, as big as a mansion, collapsed in an instant, dust swirling high.

"Damn, lucky I ran fast, otherwise I’d have been buried alive!" Chen Bo’s heart thudded wildly with fear, and he even felt a bit concerned for Yu Shifei’s safety! What a masochist! He wanted to curse himself.

But his worry was unnecessary. Yu Shifei let out a cry, soared into the sky, and thrust her spear into the earth. The entire area within a hundred meters was affected, dust enveloping half the mountain peak.

"Is she even human? Cough, cough, cough..." Chen Bo had barely spoken before inhaling a mouthful of dust, forcing him to hold his breath.

He was now full of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Why did people from the other world wield Earth’s martial arts with such power, while Chen Bo could only pick up a few tricks? All of it was the system’s fault!

But could he use Earth’s martial arts to make money? That seemed possible!

Unfortunately, the thought was instantly crushed by the system.

"Ding-dong! Detected a loophole! Repairing… repair complete! From now on, people from the other world can no longer cultivate Earth’s martial arts!"

"What about Yu Shifei?"

"This is a special exception, to be ignored. She can only cultivate the Five Tiger Gate-Breaking Spear."

"You old rascal, this is unfair!!"
