34: Chapter 34 Invincible Wind and Fire Wheels (First Update)

He really could not understand why this little girl, who usually quietly helped the village with accounts and taught villagers how to grow vegetables, suddenly wanted to forge such an absurdly heavy long spear.

Is she practicing pole vaulting?

Even for pole vaulting, it would not need to be this heavy, would it?

He had also seen her waving a thick wooden spear in the open space behind the village every day, training until she was drenched in sweat without ever resting, and he could not help but ask, "You practice with a spear every day; do you want to become a female general when you grow up?"

"Being a female general is so boring. Guarding a single territory—how could that possibly be as exciting as traveling across the entire Douluo Continent?"

Lin Yue curled her lips, then put her hands on her hips and proudly lifted her chin, "Besides, I am not an idiot. I cannot lift it now, but once I get it forged, I will be able to eventually. Besides, do you even know what having natural Divine Power means?"

"Natural Divine Power?" Tang San was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Of course he understood. Not to mention his past life, in this life he occasionally heard the village elders chatting about the legendary Titled Douluo, who possessed the strength of ten thousand jun, but that was power brought by a top-tier Spirit.

But Lin Yue was just a little girl who had not even undergone Awakening for her Spirit; how could she possibly possess natural Divine Power?

Looking at Lin Yue's thin, small frame, he could not believe it at all and could not help but say, "Stop bragging. You probably cannot even lift 100 jin of iron right now, let alone talk about natural Divine Power."

"Hey, you do not believe me?"

Lin Yue's eyes widened, her temper flaring, "Fine, I will prove it to you. Let me show you what natural Divine Power is!"

Before the words had even faded, she did not wait for Tang San to react. She stepped forward, grabbed Tang San by the waist with both hands, and with a slight exertion, lifted him up into the air with ease.

Tang San was completely dumbfounded; his feet left the ground instantly, and in his fright, he instinctively grabbed Lin Yue's arms.

Although he was thin and small, he still weighed over forty jin, yet Lin Yue held him up as if she were holding an empty basket. Her face did not flush, she was not out of breath, and her arms did not even tremble.

"Watch this, Invincible Fire Wheel!"

Before he could collect his thoughts, Lin Yue grabbed him and started spinning in place, faster and faster, swinging Tang San around like a windmill.

The wind whistled in his ears, and the surrounding blacksmith's forge, the table, and the empty wine jars in the corner blurred into shadows before his eyes. Tang San felt the World spinning, dizzy and disoriented, unable to even shout.

After spinning a dozen times, Lin Yue finally stopped steadily and placed Tang San gently on the ground. She clapped her hands and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "How is it? Do you believe me now?"

Tang San steadied himself against the nearby table, his legs trembling weakly, unable to even stand properly. His head was still buzzing, and everything before his eyes was swaying. It took a long while before he finally recovered.

He looked up at Lin Yue, who appeared completely relaxed, his eyes wide with shock, unable to say a single word.

He truly believed it now.

This was not just natural Divine Power; this was simply monstrous!

A six-year-old girl had easily lifted him up and spun him around without even flushing or losing her breath. This strength was far greater than that of the strongest man in the village!

So those legends about people being born with natural Divine Power were actually true.

Once she grows up, her future will be limitless.

"Your... your strength..."

Tang San stammered, unable to form a complete sentence for a long while.

"I told you I was born with natural Divine Power, but you did not believe me."

Lin Yue lifted her chin triumphantly, then leaned in closer and asked in a low voice, "So, can Uncle Tang forge this spear for me? I have brought the payment, and I definitely will not underpay."

Tang San finally steadied his mind and nodded heavily, carefully folding the blueprint and putting it away, "Yes. My dad has great craftsmanship and will definitely be able to forge it exactly according to your drawing. I expect him back tonight, so I will explain it to him clearly. I guarantee it will be made perfectly to your satisfaction."

"That is great!"

Lin Yue's eyes instantly lit up. She immediately took a cloth pouch from her pocket, counted out a dozen or so bronze coins, placed them on the table, and said crisply, "This is the deposit. I will pay the rest when I come to pick up the spear. I will come back in three days, is that okay?"

"No problem. It will definitely be ready for you in three days."

Tang San agreed.

Seeing him agree so readily, Lin Yue smiled even more happily. She pulled an oil-paper package from her bosom and shoved it into his hands, saying with a smile, "Oh right, these are sweet potatoes I roasted this morning. They were stored in the cellar, so they are very sweet. Take them and eat. I am heading back now, I will be here on time in three days!"

She truly felt a bit of sincere pity for him, so she decided to show some mercy and gift him something to eat.

Before Tang San could decline, she waved her hand, hopped out, and pushed open the shop door, running off. Her ponytail whipped back and forth behind her, and she vanished like a gust of wind.

Tang San held the warm oil-paper package, looking at the empty doorway, unable to collect his thoughts for a long time.

He looked down at his own hands and recalled the moment he had been lifted and spun around by Lin Yue, feeling both shocked and unable to laugh or cry.

In two lifetimes, this was the first time he had been lifted up and spun around like a windmill by a six-year-old girl.

He put the bronze coins and the blueprint into his father's usual iron box, then picked up a rag and continued cleaning the blacksmith's shop.

However, his mind kept wandering back to Lin Yue's proud expression and that phrase, "natural Divine Power."

He suddenly felt a bit of anticipation for the Awakening in a few days.

What kind of Spirit would he awaken? And what kind of Spirit would this Lin Yue, with her natural Divine Power, awaken?

If the Spirit she awakened was also a long spear, would it have been redundant to forge this one?

Forget it, forget it. If it needs to be forged, then it shall be forged.

What he did not know was that Lin Yue, having run back to the village, was currently squatting under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, counting the days on her fingers.

She did not know much about Tang San or the plot of Douluo, but she was full of anticipation for her new long spear and the Awakening in a few days.

She wanted to awaken the most powerful Spirit, master the most top-tier spearmanship, and later travel across the entire Douluo Continent to see how big this World truly was.

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Lin Yue spent almost all her time in the open space behind the village. Except for eating and sleeping, she always clutched that thick wooden spear, repeating the thrusting motion over and over again against the thick trunk of the old locust tree.

Raise the spear, sink the waist, extend the arm, thrust, and retract the spear.

Her movements went from slightly awkward at the beginning to flowing like water, with every spear thrust landing precisely on the same spot. The wooden spear tip had gouged a deep hole into the hard tree trunk, and wood shavings littered the ground.

She was not training aimlessly. Ever since she could remember, she had carried a game character template System in her mind.

As long as she perfected the basic practice of her chosen weapon before the Awakening, she would be able to unlock the corresponding character template upon Awakening. She had not even hesitated to choose the battle spear.

She just did not know what kind of game character template she would awaken.

【System Prompt: Battle Spear basic thrusting practice, current progress 9997 / 10000】

【System Prompt: Battle Spear basic thrusting practice, current progress 9998 / 10000】

【System Prompt: Battle Spear basic thrusting practice, current progress 9999 / 10000】

The moment the last spear thrust was firmly embedded into the tree trunk and the spear shaft remained motionless, the cold, mechanical voice echoed in her mind again, carrying a rare hint of inflection:

【System Prompt: Congratulations to the Host for completing the prerequisite task—Battle Spear basic thrusting 10,000 times! Task completion rate 100%!】

【System Prompt: Game character template locking... Lock successful! The King's Avatar Battle Mage—One Autumn Leaf template has been bound!】

【System Prompt: The template will be officially enabled after the Host's Awakening, unlocking the corresponding Spirit, Evil-Repelling, character One Autumn Leaf, full skill System, and exclusive growth path!】

Work hard to become a true Battle Mage girl.
