495: Chapter 495 Five Elements Parry! Blood Demon Eruption! Mo Yuan!
Ordinary spirit weapons need to become thousand-pattern spirit weapons to have a Spirit Weapon Skill, and even then, they can only obtain one.
Better spirit weapons might have a chance to possess one after becoming Hundred-Inscription Spirit Weapons.
Yet his spirit weapon, currently only at ten-pattern, already possessed a Spirit Weapon Skill.
And there were two of them!
This was simply too wonderful!
"Let me see what the effects of these two Spirit Weapon Skills are."
Qin Yan immediately immersed his consciousness into it, sensing the information transmitted from the spirit weapon.
A moment later, two pieces of information surfaced in his mind.
[Five Elements Block]
Method: Parry with the long spear, using the power of the Five Elements to deflect force.
Effect: Can neutralize thirty percent of attack power.
Restriction: Below Grandmaster (increases as the spirit weapon grows).
[Blood Demon Burst]
Method: Instantly erupt the Blood Demon Power.
Effect: Triples blood qi for a short period.
Restriction: Consumes a large amount of blood qi; there is a certain period of weakness after use.
The descriptions were simple, but each was impressively powerful!
One neutralized thirty percent of an attack, and the other tripled blood qi!
Neutralizing thirty percent of an attack—this meant that in battle, as long as he could parry in time, he could weaken the opponent's attack power by thirty percent.
What did thirty percent signify?
It was equivalent to an opponent originally being able to deal one million cals of damage; after parrying, only seven hundred thousand remained.
With this ebb and flow, his survivability would be greatly enhanced.
And Blood Demon Burst—tripling blood qi for a short period!
With his current total blood qi of 230,000 cals, once it erupted, it would be 690,000 cals!
Although it was only for a short time, at a critical moment, this 690,000-cal burst was enough to turn the tide of battle and insta-kill a powerful enemy.
One defense, one offense—perfect!
A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Yan's lips.
These two Spirit Weapon Skills, one for survival and one for killing enemies, worked together seamlessly.
However, when Qin Yan looked at the long spear spirit weapon, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
At this moment, on his long spear, that mass of churning Devilish Qi was being entwined by dark chains.
Those chains were pitch black, emitting a cold light, firmly imprisoning the Devilish Qi deep within the spear's body to prevent it from leaking.
With a wave of Qin Yan's hand, the Devilish Qi on the long spear instantly vanished, receding into the inscriptions within the spear.
The dark chains also faded away, as if they had never appeared.
Only the power of the Five Elements and blood qi remained flowing on the spear's body.
"Alright, this way I won't have to worry about Devilish Qi leaking in the future."
Qin Yan nodded.
In daily use, he would only employ the power of the Five Elements and blood qi, which wouldn't arouse any suspicion.
"But this Blood Demon Burst Spirit Weapon Skill can only be called Blood Burst for now, and the blood qi burst will also drop from threefold to double."
Qin Yan shook his head and sighed.
Blood Demon Burst originally required the simultaneous activation of blood qi and Devilish Qi to achieve a triple burst.
Now that the Devilish Qi was sealed, he could only use blood qi, so the effect was naturally greatly diminished.
Threefold becoming double—while still good, it was far inferior to the original power.
But there was no other way; who told demons to be so unpopular?
In the Myriad Races Era, the Demonic Path was the original sin, a taboo.
He currently could only hide it carefully and use it cautiously.
Then, Qin Yan carefully sensed the blood qi amplification this natal spirit weapon brought him.
Not much, it reached a 1-fold amplification.
With his total blood qi of 230,000 cals, when holding this spear, he could erupt with a power of 460,000 cals.
A 1-fold amplification was considered the standard level for a ten-pattern spirit weapon.
But Qin Yan wasn't disappointed, because all ten-pattern spirit weapons were like this.
But as the spirit weapon's inscriptions improved, the amplification of blood qi would also gradually strengthen.
If it could become a Supreme-tier spirit weapon, that would be truly terrifying.
"Now then, what should I name this spirit weapon?"
Qin Yan fell into deep thought.
Usually, Martial Artists would give their spirit weapons a name.
Like the Blood Coagulation Incarnation Tripod, the Five Elements Yin-Yang Hunyuan Tower, and so on—names that reflected the spirit weapon's characteristics and were catchy.
"This long spear of mine is forged from creation divine iron and possesses attributes like the Five Elements and Blood Demon, and it might even develop Yin and Yang attributes later. Then let's call it—"
Qin Yan tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then blurted out:
"Five Elements Yin Yang Primordial Blood Demon Creation Divine Spear?"
After saying it, he himself was stunned for a moment, then almost died laughing at himself.
"This name is too long; it's not suitable."
Qin Yan shook his head.
If he said this name out loud, the enemy probably wouldn't be dead yet, but would die laughing at his antics first.
And it was too chuunibyou, not fitting his style.
He paced around the room a few times, thinking as he walked.
His gaze fell on the long spear quietly floating there; the spear body was pitch black, the power of the Five Elements flowed through it, and occasionally blood qi churned.
The spear tip was incredibly sharp, emitting a cold, eerie light.
After thinking for a while, Qin Yan stopped and looked at the long spear.
"I'll call you the Ink Abyss Spear."
"Mo—taken from the Mo Hen long spear, the old fellow that had accompanied him for a long time, his most familiar partner."
"Yuan—taken for its meaning of depth, as unfathomable as an abyss, as inclusive of all things as a deep sea."
Mo Yuan, both a commemoration of the past and an expectation for the future.
Hearing this name, the natal spirit weapon also trembled slightly, letting out a soft hum.
The sound was cheerful and pleasant, as if it were very satisfied with the name.
"Good, from now on, you are my partner!"
Qin Yan gripped the Ink Abyss Spear, and the long spear swung.
In the room, five-colored light suddenly erupted, and the power of the Five Elements flowed incessantly!
Immediately after, a phantom of the Blood-Colored Long River appeared, the surging river of blood roaring and rushing!
The Five Elements and blood qi, two kinds of power intertwined, reflecting the entire room in a bizarre and kaleidoscopic way!
The Ink Abyss Spear in his hand was like a living thing, breathing out sharp Spear Light.
...
In the following time, Qin Yan stayed in his room to train.
With the Ink Abyss Spear in hand, his enthusiasm for practicing the spear grew even stronger.
Every day from morning to night, except for necessary rest, all his time was spent on training.
Spear Technique, Martial Skill, Concept—he didn't neglect any of them.
On October 22nd, Qin Yan finally practiced the Destructions End Spear Intent to 100%!
The small dark-red spear in his mind trembled, its entire body emitting an aura of Perfection.
