Chapter 701: Skill Providence

A Heaven-grade weapon was forged out of the mind and soul.

Even though there were ways in the outside world that could create such a weapon, the essence of it was still the mind and soul. Like a person’s arms and legs, a Heaven-grade weapon had a connection to its owner.

If the owner died, their mind and soul would wither away, and the Heaven-grade weapon would also naturally dissipate.

It was similar to when a person lost his life and his flesh would also perish.

However, there were some differences between the metal chain and the golden spear.

These two Heaven-grade weapons were brought back to Earth when their owners were still alive, severing the connection between them.

Since the owners hadn’t died at that point, the weapon didn’t perish either.

The conclusion of this was that these two weapons were still around.

A Heaven-grade weapon was forged out of the mind and soul. From another perspective, it could be said to be part of a person’s soul. After its connection was severed with its owner, the originally dead weapon actually gained its own ignorant level of awareness.

To prevent itself from falling apart without the support of its owner’s mind, the two weapons followed their instincts and chose Ren Baqian. They lodged in his consciousness and relied on his mind and soul to stay alive.

Even though these two Heaven-grade weapons already had their own awareness, much of it was only their instincts. They were like kids who were learning how to speak.

Their strongest instinct was to continue living.

As such, both weapons had always stayed within Ren Baqian’s consciousness and wouldn’t show themselves unless his life was threatened. Since they had resided in his body for a long time, they had absorbed part of his soul and mind as well. If he died, it was very likely that both of them would perish.

Besides matters that would determine the life and death of these Heaven-grade weapons, they didn’t care about anything else.

If anything happened to them outside of Ren Baqian’s body, his mind and soul simply wouldn’t be able to restore them.

Hence, the two weapons were very terrified.

At present, whenever Ren Baqian threatened them, they could naturally sense the determination in his heart.

When a worried person was threatened, there would normally only be two outcomes.

One would be an outburst, whereas the other would be to continue worrying.

Both Heaven-grade weapons immediately chose the second option and continued worrying.

A long spear that was about 2.4 meters long grew out of Ren Baqian’s right arm.

It weighed roughly 50 kilograms, and its entire body was silver with gold veined patterns on it. When he spun the spear in his hands, the spearhead reflected a golden radiance.

This was the Heaven-grade weapon of that world’s number four expert, the Spirit Spear, Teng Yue.

Ren Baqian held the spear in his hand and felt that it actually had a bit of elasticity, unlike most ice-cold metal weapons.

He stretched out his arm and stabbed at the wall, piercing a hole through it while feeling almost no resistance. As he pulled it back, the sunlight peered through.

“Good spear!” Ren Baqian exclaimed.

In reality, how would he know what a good spear was like?

Thinking about it, the spear of that world’s number four expert definitely had to be good.

Besides, just the sharpness of this spear was worthy of the compliment.

After saying this, Ren Baqian’s eyebrows twitched as he concentrated his attention and stabbed forward again.

This time, it wasn’t as slack as the previous strike, it was as fast as lightning. Even if an inexperienced onlooker saw it, he would still be able to realize the difference between those two strikes.

The first strike seemed like it was launched by a layman, whereas during the second strike, Ren Baqian exerted force with his legs and twisted his body, which made it look extremely pleasing.

Ren Baqian stabbed and pulled back immediately. The vibration of the spear in his hands actually reflected a radiance all over the walls and caused an air piercing sound to whistle throughout the room.

He consecutively displayed the moves of the spearmanship, namely the prick, tremble, brandish, pierce, and stab before he stopped with his eyes glowing ecstatically.

This spear actually came with the skills to wield it.

When he held this spear in his hands just now, he felt as if his brain was filled with additional knowledge.

The fundamentals of spearmanship; prick, hold, and obstruct.

After all of this entered his head, Ren Baqian immediately understood a lot more things. Other than the fundamentals of prick, hold, and obstruct, he also understood the evolved moves of pierce, flog, strike, wind, loop, flutter, point, push, brandish, etc.

Immediately, the spear in his hands almost felt like it was an extended part of his body because he naturally knew how to execute a move at the first thought of it. It was as if he had been enlightened with wisdom.

Even though he wasn’t considered proficient yet and still had to consciously control his body to execute a move, he had already far exceeded his previous casual poking around by 100 fold.

If Ren Baqian guessed correctly, this must be something that the Spirit Spear, Teng Yue, left behind; his insights about spearmanship!

A surprise, simply a pleasant surprise. Ren Baqian had never expected such good things to actually come with a novice gift pack.

At this point, the novice gift pack arrived at just the right time.

If Ren Baqian’s original fighting power could be said to be at level 10, then it was at level 11 when he was simply swinging a rod around. Now, however, he took a great leap to level 15.

These were the insights of spearmanship left behind by that world’s fourth strongest expert.

Ren Baqian really got himself a steal.

He walked around the room a few times and did a few moves with the spear before he could finally contain his excitement.

Ren Baqian then glanced at the metal chain around his arm that looked like a winding snake.

He tugged on one end of the chain and it immediately coiled around his arm tightly, without the slightest possibility of loosening up.

“What other good stuff are you hiding?” Ren Baqian let out a mischievous laugh.

The metal chain struggled to break free of his grip, wrapping itself along his arm and to his waist.

“Look at the time. Bring it out if you are still hiding any good stuff.”

The metal chain still didn’t seem to have any reaction.

“Could it be that the metal chain doesn’t have stuff like that?” Ren Baqian pondered for a moment. After all, there were only a golden spear and a metal chain. There were no other reference materials, so he didn’t know why the spear would impart such things, but not the chain.

He felt that there could be two possibilities.

The first was that Teng Yue was too powerful.

After all, he was the fourth ranked expert from that world. His mental strength, his willpower, and all his other aspects far exceeded those of an ordinary Spirit Wheel expert.

As such, he practiced every day, which resulted in leaving some of his insights within the Golden Spear. This left a lasting mark on it that could never be extinguished.

The moment Ren Baqian held the Golden Spear, these insights were immediately passed on to him. After all, the essence of the spear was still the mind and soul. Part of Teng Yue’s was within him.

Secondly, the metal chain had a different function compared to the Golden Spear.

The Golden Spear was Teng Yue’s weapon that never left his hand regardless of whether he was practicing or fighting. It bore the entire weight of Teng Yue’s willpower.

The metal chain was different because it was actually a rope that could move.

For instance, the Golden Spear was a primary weapon, whereas the metal chain was more like a magical item that could be tossed out to bind a person.

As a result, it didn’t possess the same kind of insight that existed within the Golden Spear.

Ren Baqian felt that both of these reasons were possible and that both made sense. Unfortunately, he only had these two Heaven-grade weapons without having any past cases that he could refer to. As such, he didn’t know whether his conjectures were accurate.

Whatever the reason was, he really got a steal.

At this moment, an alarm sounded in the base, which immediately disrupted his train of thought.

“It seems like the entire base is taking action. I should probably move to another place.” Ren Baqian crawled to the window and took a look outside.

The most important thing now was to find food as well as take some time to familiarize himself with those insights that had just appeared in his mind.
