New and dark light years

Chapter 305 Li Dujian's Future is Limitless

Yu Youqing looked at Li Lin, her eyes full of admiration.

Li Lin clasped his hands and said, "Yes, I have quite a bit of experience with the Yu family's spear technique."

"Judging from your age, you're only in your early twenties, yet you've already mastered the art of spear fighting; you're exceptionally talented."

"Thank you for the compliment, General," Li Lin said with a smile.

Yu Youqing walked to the side and took two red-tasseled spears.

He then threw one of the clubs at Li Lin and waved to the latter.

Li Lin took the spear and immediately felt its weight, unlike the red-tasseled spear he usually carried.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the spear had a smooth surface coated with a layer of 'lacquer' of some unknown material, making it appear extremely smooth.

But when you hold it in your hand, it has a sticky feel, making it difficult to slip away.

It was better than any spear I had ever held.

Next is the spearhead... made of black iron, much heavier than a typical spearhead.

Good gun!

Although this gun is a bit heavy, it feels great in the hand and the center of gravity is distributed very reasonably.

Li Lin weighed the spear in his hand and stepped out of the tent.

Seeing this, Mu Yi and the other three commanders also came out of the tent.

Outside the tent was an open space. Yu Youqing stood not far away, holding a long spear. He stood straight, looking just like a spear himself.

Seeing Li Lin come out, he laughed and said, "Let's exchange a few blows and see how good your marksmanship is."

Yu Youqing was quite happy at this moment.

The Yu family's spear technique has been circulating outside for over a hundred years. It was originally leaked by Commander Yu so that the common people would have their own resistance force and be able to fight against injustice in critical moments.

To this end, the spear manual was even simplified, making the moves easier for ordinary people to learn.

But for some reason, while there are many people practicing the Yu family spear technique, both among the common people and in the martial arts world, very few are willing to put in the effort to study it thoroughly.

Over time, the Yu family's spear technique even came to have a cheap feel, like... an introductory spear technique that you shouldn't learn if you can avoid it.

This left the descendants of the Yu family feeling somewhat resentful.

After saying that, Yu Youqing picked up his spear, twirled it, and then pointed it at Li Lin.

Li Lin also performed the same flourish with his spear, and said with a smile, "Please instruct me, General Yu."

At this moment, a large number of people gathered around, almost all of them military officers in different official robes.

Their expressions were shocked.

Just by standing there, the men exuded a palpable aura of gunfire that sent chills down one's spine.

Even those who aren't experts can sense the somber atmosphere.

After Li Lin finished speaking, he took the initiative to attack.

It's just a simple stab... This is the most important move for a spear.

It looks ordinary and simple, but it is very practical and powerful.

Li Lin's spear left afterimages.

Fast, very fast.

Yu Youqing's face was full of surprise. He kept 'deflecting' with the gun barrel, using the upper part of the gun to deflect Li Lin's thrusts.

At the same time, he slowly retreated, and after taking a few steps, he seized the opportunity, leaped back and turned, and simultaneously delivered a double-handed sweeping counterattack.

The air was howling.

The attack was extremely fierce. Li Lin blocked with his spear to the left, and although he managed to block it, he was knocked back five steps by a tremendous force.

While Li Lin retreated, Yu Youqing lowered his center of gravity and swung his spear again, launching a direct attack.

But his pursuit only went halfway before he suddenly jumped back.

Because Li Lin's spear suddenly thrust out, directly attacking his lower body, the speed of this move was frightening.

Yu Youqing subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

Then, Li Lin's spear tip, like a black snake that had fallen to the ground, suddenly leaped forward and stabbed towards Yu Youqing's chest.

Because of its high speed, the spear appeared to be 'deflected'.

This is 'picking'!
An ordinary person using this move wouldn't have such an exaggerated visual effect. Yu Youqing pressed his spear horizontally downwards, blocking Li Lin's thrust. Then, he took two steps back, held his spear upright in his right hand, and slammed the spear into the ground.

This means to stop.

Li Lin naturally stopped pursuing and also put away his spear.

Only then did the dust kicked up by their fight finally settle.

The ground around the perimeter was covered with fine scratches, indicating that the fight between the two was more complex than what was visible to the naked eye.

Many military officers, upon seeing these scratches, either swallowed hard or remained silent.

"Hahahaha!" Yu Youqing laughed heartily and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Li Lin, Military Commander of Jin County South Route!"

"Not bad, not bad." Yu Youqing stroked his long beard and smiled. "Your marksmanship, you must have been practicing since you were a child, for how many years?"

"Not even two years."

"Hehe, indeed, only diligence leads to success... Wait, how many years did you say?" Yu Youqing looked at Li Lin in disbelief.

His hand even trembled slightly, tearing off a few strands of his beard.

"Not even two years."

Yu Youqing subconsciously felt that Li Lin was lying to him, but when he looked at Li Lin's handsome face and his sincere expression, he couldn't bring himself to question him.

"If it really is just two years... he's a natural-born marksman."

At this moment, Qu Wenjie, who was not far away, looked grim. He also knew that Li Lin had mastered the "fist intent".

After all, the two of them had a contest that night.

In other words, Li Lin has mastered at least two martial arts techniques.

He was just a young man in his early twenties.

Qu Wenjie practiced monkey boxing for over thirty years, working diligently every day, and finally achieved mastery of monkey boxing last year.

He thought he was already very capable, but compared to the young man in front of him, he was far inferior.

At that moment, Qu Wenjie was filled with extreme jealousy and resentment.

Yu Youqing was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you married?"

"They're already married."

Yu Youqing sighed with some disappointment: "If only I had met you sooner, alas... I'll give you the Linshan Spear."

Li Lin looked at the gun in his hand and said, "This is too valuable."

Putting aside the gun barrel, just the paint on the gun body alone tells you it's incredibly valuable.

“Your marksmanship is worthy of this gun.” Yu Youqing waved his hand dismissively. “Besides, you’ve only been learning to shoot for two years, so you certainly don’t have a good gun.”

Li Lin thought for a moment and then accepted. He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, General. I am deeply grateful."

"Use it to kill the enemy."

After Yu Youqing finished speaking, he went back to his tent.

At this moment, Mu Yi walked over and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Commander Li, for catching General Yu's eye."

Guo Yuan and Zhang Qi both came over to congratulate him, looking quite envious.

Qu Wenjie arrived last, and with a forced smile, he said, "Is Supervisor Li about to be promoted again?"

If the Huang family was the pinnacle of civil officials, then the Yu family was the pinnacle of military officials.

With the Huang family protecting him and Consort Rong's help, it would have been difficult enough for Li Lin to be recruited.

Now that the Yu family also has their eyes on him, Qu Wenjie feels that he made a terrible move the other night.

The Empress told him to recruit people, so he just had to do it obediently.

They're trying to pull off some kind of multi-pronged approach.

Now... he really regrets it, and he's also very jealous.

Seeing Qu Wenjie's expression, Mu Yi smiled and said, "What Supervisor Qu said makes sense. Supervisor Li's future is limitless."

All five of them were laughing, but their smiles all seemed to be slightly different.
