Forget it, someone as foolish as you probably wouldn't understand.

The spear shaft was warm, like a piece of warm jade. The fine crimson dragon scale patterns on it seemed like living creatures, emitting a faint flowing light as the spiritual energy circulated within his body.

He casually spun the spear, creating a flourish.

"Om—"

The air let out an overwhelmed wail, and a visible wave of air expanded outward with the spear tip at its center.

The wasteland beneath his feet actually had a layer of topsoil forcibly scraped off by this invisible gale.

What tyrannical power.

Su Ji was shocked in his heart.

This was no longer a magical artifact, but a lethal weapon.

He could feel that the grade of this spear, even if placed in the Upper Realm, was something that could be proudly presented.

"Senior, you are truly amazing!"

The doubt on Su Ji's face vanished without a trace, replaced by undisguised amazement and worship.

This heartfelt praise from him obviously made the little red-haired girl feel very pleased.

She raised her delicate chin, her face carrying a somewhat reserved pride, looking like a little kitten waiting to be praised.

"That is only natural."

"Just look at whose handiwork this is."

Seeing this, Su Ji immediately struck while the iron was hot.

He wielded the long spear so it produced gusts of wind, and the flattery poured out of his mouth as if it cost nothing.

"This junior has cultivated for so many years and traveled far and wide, seeing many divine weapons and sharp artifacts. But compared to Senior's spear, they are all just chickens of clay and dogs of pottery, unable to withstand a single blow!"

"This spear should only exist in the heavens; how many times can it be heard of in the mortal realm!"

"Senior's artifact forging techniques have reached the peak of perfection. No, they have surpassed the peak and reached a 'divine' realm that this junior cannot even imagine!"

The little red-haired girl was flattered until she felt a bit light-headed. Her crimson eyes curved into crescent moons as she repeatedly waved her hand.

"Alright, alright, stop kissing up."

"You've flattered this dragon enough."

Although she said this, the high upward curve of her lips exposed her delighted mood at this moment.

Su Ji saw that he had a chance and immediately changed the subject, revealing a perfectly timed look of distress on his face.

"It's just that..."

"Senior, as the saying goes, a precious steed is given to a hero, and a divine weapon matches a powerhouse."

"Although this junior has obtained such a peerless divine weapon, alas, my own spearmanship is shallow. I fear I will disgrace Senior's masterpiece. I truly... feel ashamed in my heart."

As he spoke, he let out a heavy sigh, looking heartbroken as if he were wasting a precious treasure.

Hearing this, the smile on the little red-haired girl's face slightly froze.

She looked Su Ji up and down, then nodded in agreement.

"What you said isn't wrong."

"I don't even need to think to know that your spearmanship is definitely as rotten as can be."

"It has no method at all, relying entirely on brute force. It's simply an insult to the Dao of the Spear."

Su Ji: "..."

To be honest, with the blessing of his Heavenly Mandate, his spearmanship attainments were actually quite good.

It was just that he lacked practical combat experience, making him seem a bit immature.

The distress on his face deepened a bit more, falling just short of shedding tears on the spot.

"Therefore, I beg Senior to... give me a pointer or two!"

With a thud, Su Ji dropped to one knee, holding the long spear horizontally in front of him, lowering his posture to the extreme.

"This junior does not dare to extravagantly hope that Senior will teach me everything, I only beg that Senior can pass on a move or two to this junior, so that I won't disgrace the prestige of this divine spear!"

The little red-haired girl looked at his appearance and fell silent.

The light in her crimson eyes flickered uncertainly, as if she were weighing something.

Kneeling on the ground, Su Ji felt anxious and unsettled in his heart.

Was his behavior pushing his luck too far?

The other party had already shown him a massive favor by helping him reforge his weapon; asking her to teach him spearmanship on top of that was indeed a bit unreasonable.

But he had no choice.

The oppressive feeling brought by those two Soul Formation Realm cultivators in Glimpse of Destiny still lingered in his mind.

He urgently needed to become stronger.

Obviously, this was definitely the fastest shortcut for him to grow stronger.

People from the Upper Realm needed to be dealt with by a dragon from the Upper Realm.

Otherwise, even if the strongest person in Great Xia went, even if they had immersed themselves in Golden Core techniques for five hundred years, they would still be nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs in the eyes of others.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The little red-haired girl finally let out a long breath, her exquisite little face carrying a bit of helplessness.

"Never mind."

"Seeing as you are somewhat pleasing to the eye, I will teach you one move."

Hearing this, Su Ji felt wild joy in his heart and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Don't be in a rush to thank me."

The little red-haired girl waved her hand, and that crimson long spear appeared in her hand once again.

"The spearmanship of my Dragon Race is different from that of the Human Race."

"We do not care about exquisite moves, nor do we pursue any profound intent."

As she spoke, she casually pointed the spear tip at the ground.

"We only care about... absolute power."

The moment her voice fell.

An indescribably terrifying pressure explosively erupted from her petite body.

The wasteland beneath her feet began to crack inch by inch, centered on where she stood. Spiderweb-like fissures spread madly, instantly covering a radius of a hundred zhang.

"The spear is the king of weapons."

"It is the pinnacle of slaughter."

"Its existence is meant to pierce, tear apart, and destroy all enemies blocking the way forward."

The voice of the little red-haired girl was no longer crisp like before; instead, it carried the sonorous intent of clashing metal.

"Therefore, what you need to do is condense all your power, all your will, and all your killing intent onto the tip of the spear."

"And then..."

She abruptly raised her head, blazing flames igniting in her crimson eyes.

"Thrust it out!"

The crimson long spear in her hand transformed into a blood-colored bolt of lightning that tore through heaven and earth, fiercely thrusting into the empty void.

"Rumble!"

The entire space of the wasteland trembled violently under this spear strike.

Su Ji only felt his vision blur as a bottomless spatial rift appeared out of thin air right where the crimson spear tip pointed.

Within the rift was endless nothingness.

After a long time, the space slowly healed.

The little red-haired girl retracted the long spear and rested it on her shoulder. Her face wasn't red, and she wasn't panting, as if that world-destroying thrust just now was merely done at will.

She looked at the completely dumbfounded Su Ji and curled her lips.

"Did you understand it? This place has already been ruined, let's change locations."

Saying that, she walked over and lifted Su Ji by the back of his collar, and the surrounding environment instantly shifted.

Su Ji swallowed hard, subconsciously nodding, then quickly shaking his head.

His eyes understood, but his hands didn't understand at all.

"Forget it, an idiot like you probably couldn't understand it anyway."

The little red-haired girl had a look of disgust on her face.

"Take your time and practice on your own."

"Whenever you can poke a hole in this ground with a single thrust that's about the same as the one I just made, you can be considered to have mastered the basics."

After she finished speaking, she walked over to a bluestone on the side and sat down, resting her chin on one hand, looking as if she were ready to watch a good show.
