291: Chapter 291 Destruction's End Gun Aura

Without a doubt, what was floating here was highly likely First Grade Spear Qi!

Enduring the discomfort, he walked up to a light sphere that was emerald green and brimming with vitality like a forest in early spring, and touched it with his long spear.

[Name: Wood Spirit Divine Spear Qi]

[Rank: first grade]

[Characteristics: The Spear Qi is endless and cyclic, with extremely low consumption; it can absorb faint vitality from surrounding vegetation to replenish itself.

Possesses powerful healing capabilities, able to quickly repair physical damage caused by power.

The Spear Qi is tough and long-lasting, excelling at prolonged attrition and trapping enemies.]

First Grade Spear Qi!

Wood Spirit Divine Spear Qi!

Just after reading the introduction, Qin Yan felt a surge of excitement.

Endless vitality, healing injuries, extremely low consumption... this was practically a heaven-defying guarantee for prolonged battles and survivability!

Although its direct lethality might not match some First Grade Spear Qi focused on destruction, its strategic value was immeasurable.

He looked around at these final dozen or so light spheres, his heart filled with incomparable shock: "Just for a Spear Technique trial, they actually prepared at least a dozen types of First Grade Spear Qi as references..."

"Just how terrifying was the Jade Court in its prime?"

He then continued to examine the other First Grade Spear Qi.

[Great Sun True Flame Spear Qi] (first grade): Spear Qi like the true fire of a great sun, incinerating all things; it has absolute suppression over evil and ice attributes.

[Nine Nether Netherworld Ice Spear Qi] (first grade): Spear Qi like the ice of the Nine Nethers; it has absolute suppression over fire and vitality attributes.

...

Standing surrounded by these First Grade Spear Qi, Qin Yan's heart raced.

These First Grade Spear Qi were truly powerful!

"As expected, Supreme Grade can only be comprehended on one's own and cannot be obtained through inheritance."

Qin Yan murmured to himself.

According to the ancient texts he had read, Supreme Spear Qi can only be born when a martial artist comprehends a massive amount of low, medium, and high-grade Spear Qi and masters them thoroughly.

Combined with one's own unique martial path and a heaven-sent opportunity, it might be born in a moment of sudden enlightenment.

It is a unique manifestation of an individual's ultimate understanding of the Spear Dao.

He had once seen a vague record of a theoretical Supreme Spear Qi called "All-in-One."

Its prerequisites were desperately harsh: the practitioner first needed to master dozens of different Third Grade Spear Qi, over a dozen Second Grade Spear Qi, and at least one or two First Grade Spear Qi. Only on this basis could they potentially, through some moment of enlightenment, return all flows to the source and comprehend that Supreme Spear Qi containing the true intent of "All Laws Return to One."

And since the beginning of the Martial Arts Era, looking across the entire history of Blue Star, including all intelligent races such as humans...

There were only two beings clearly recorded to have successfully comprehended any kind of "Supreme Grade" Martial Arts Skill!

And those two had both become supreme powerhouses who illuminated an era, nearly like mythical legends.

From this, it was evident how heaven-defying the difficulty of the Supreme Grade was; it was a realm almost untouchable for anyone without great fortune, great perseverance, and great talent.

Qin Yan withdrew his drifting thoughts and pulled his attention back to the life-and-death choice before him.

Supreme Grade was too far away; the most important thing right now was to pass the first trial and survive!

Having confirmed that his primary goal was to ensure he comprehended a Spear Qi prototype within a month to pass the trial and save his life, Qin Yan did not immediately start making blind attempts.

Knowing where his advantage lay, he moved his mind and summoned the panel.

[Comprehensible Spear Qi (Prototype)]:

[Sharp Spear Qi (Third Grade)]: Progress 0%

[Heavy Spear Qi (Third Grade)]: Progress 0%

[Scorching Spear Qi (Third Grade)]: Progress 0%

[Wood Spirit Divine Spear Qi (first grade)]: Progress 0%

...

As expected!

The panel had automatically recorded all the Spear Qi he had just touched, regardless of their grade.

And it displayed an improvable "progress bar," even though all progress was currently at 0%.

This meant that Qin Yan had not yet officially begun to comprehend any single Spear Qi.

But in Qin Yan's eyes, instead of the slightest discouragement, a sharp light flashed.

The core function of the panel was "effort will surely yield rewards."

As long as he continued training and earned Skill Points,

He could ignore talent, ignore bottlenecks, and ignore all obstacles to forcibly stack up the skill progress!

Of course, skills of different grades and difficulties would inevitably consume different amounts of Skill Points.

A Third Grade Spear Qi might only need ten points for basic entry, while Second Grade, or even First Grade Spear Qi... would likely require hundreds or even thousands of points.

But at least he had a clear, quantifiable path.

With the pressure slightly reduced, Qin Yan's mindset became more composed.

He was in no hurry to make a final decision, deciding instead to carefully "browse" this "treasury" of Spear Qi once more, touching as many different Spear Qi as possible to let the panel record more options.

At the same time, he searched for that feeling of being most compatible with himself in the dark.

He strolled through the "ocean" of Spear Qi again, this time more meticulously, using the intent at the tip of his spear to touch more Spear Qi that he had previously rushed past.

The list on the panel continued to lengthen, with various strange Spear Qi names and characteristics being recorded: there was the upright, vast, and bright "Holy Light Spear Qi";

There was the mysterious and unpredictable "Netherworld Spear Qi" that corroded the soul;

There was the heavy and slow but defensively invincible "Mystic Heavy Spear Qi"...

When he paced back to the core area where the First Grade Spear Qi floated, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to a Spear Qi that radiated an extremely dangerous aura.

That Spear Qi was a deep dark red, almost black, throughout.

It didn't have a fixed form, but looked like a miniature black hole that was constantly collapsing, expanding, and twisting.

The surrounding light seemed to be swallowed by it, appearing slightly distorted.

It did not radiate the majestic vitality of the "Wood Spirit Divine Spear Qi," nor the blazing explosions of the Great Sun True Flame Spear Qi.

What it radiated was a pure sense of "ending" and "annihilation" that made even the soul tremble.

Qin Yan subconsciously approached and lightly touched that mass of dark red and black twisting aura with the tip of his spear.

[Name: Destructions End Spear Qi]

[Rank: first grade]

[Characteristics: The Spear Qi contains the ultimate intent of destruction; its destructive power is unrivaled among its grade, possessing an extremely strong annihilation effect on matter and energy.

Wherever the Spear Qi reaches, vitality is severed; it carries the "Destruction Erosion" characteristic, which can continuously destroy the target's structure and is difficult to remove.]

"Destructions End..."

Qin Yan whispered the name, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

He felt a strange resonance between himself and this Spear Qi.

"Could this be related to my Blood Demon Nest?"

He had a clear understanding of his own comprehension in pure Spear Techniques; if not for the panel, he probably wouldn't even be able to comprehend Spear Light, let alone Spear Qi.

But this "Blood Demon Nest" was a unique talent produced after his body mutated, a part of himself.

This talent itself carried characteristics of plundering, devouring, and transformation, which indeed shared common ground with the intent of "Destruction" on some level.

This faint sense of resonance gave him a strong interest in this "Destructions End Spear Qi."
