Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

Type: Strange Object

Description: The corpse of a powerful being who fell long ago. Over time, it has lost all its former characteristics, but the aura of time is etched within it. Perhaps for some, this will be a priceless treasure.

After the entry was changed, Bell confirmed that the ancient corpse would no longer move.

He had just received the will of this ancient corpse, which had been bound by the curse of the evil god for countless ages.

That will was pure; it had forgotten everything, leaving only the relief of liberation.

"Great, it seems I've acquired a super valuable corpse, but how do I get this big guy back?"

Looking at the enormous carcass before him, Bell knew it was no ordinary creature.

However, the ancient corpse's five-meter-tall body and massive skeleton were not something Bell could remove in a short time.

The inventory couldn't hold this behemoth; after all, a single inventory slot was simply not enough to contain its enormous size.

The tough skin and bones of ancient corpses cannot be easily dismembered.

"We can only leave it here for now. We'll figure out what to do with it after we've explored the Bone Spire. If all else fails, we'll just have to burn it."

Shaking his head, Bell circled the edge of the fifth floor and reached the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

His condition wasn't too bad; he had dealt with the tomb's occupant himself, and there weren't any major threats left in the Bone Spire.

"I knew it. There should be a room for treasures. If a powerful and prominent person doesn't put treasures in the tomb, then the tomb would be a waste."

Entering the sixth floor, which is smaller than the fifth floor, it's still enough for Bell to run around and have fun. After all, he's a little furball, so he can jump around however he wants.

This sixth level is where the tomb owner placed the secret treasures he had acquired during his lifetime.

Like the other levels of the Bone Spire, most of the artifacts here have lost all their character over time and have become a pile of junk.

However, there are still several items among the decaying objects on this sixth floor that retain extraordinary characteristics.

The first thing that catches the eye is a three-meter-long gun placed on the weapon rack in the center.

Beside it lies a small fragment of a square stone, inscribed with text. It is said to be the spear used by the tomb's occupant during his lifetime, when he fought on all sides. The tomb's occupant loved it no less than he loved his wife and daughters.

Unfortunately, after the battle against the evil god, the tomb owner's body became twisted and deformed, and it would hardly have the chance to wield the spear again.

Meteorite Iron Spear

Type: Legendary Weapon

Description: A spear forged from meteorite iron born when the world perished, possessing indestructible properties and magical conductivity surpassing that of most other materials.

Inscribed Traits: [Penetration], [Guardian], [Weakness Insight]

Opening treasure chests in Chapter 89 is a necessary step after completing a dungeon.

The Meteorite Iron Spear possesses three extremely outrageous characteristics, each of which is worth a fortune, making it a coveted item for any melee class.

The [Penetrating] property can easily penetrate all kinds of protection, whether it is a physical shield or a magical barrier, none of them can withstand the power of this spear.

Of course, making good use of the "penetration" property is also a skill that requires a high level of proficiency and battlefield experience.

Compared to the [Penetrate] feature, which is difficult to learn, the [Guard] feature is much simpler and more straightforward.

Wielding the Meteorite Iron Spear, one can mobilize the energy within the spear with a mere thought, condensing it into a shield to withstand damage.

Bell hadn't tested the strength of the shield inside the spear, but he figured it wouldn't be too weak.

Being able to both attack and defend is enough to make a weapon a dream for melee classes, but the [Meteorite Iron Spear] also has a third extremely violent characteristic.

【Weakness Insight】 is a passive effect granted to the user by the 【Meteorite Iron Spear】. When wielding this spear, the user has a chance to enter a state of sudden inspiration.

In this state, the user will be keenly aware of the enemy's various changes and maneuvers, and in the extremely complex battlefield, find the enemy's most fatal weakness and launch a thunderous attack.

A defense that appears as one, a speed that is swift and unpredictable, an attack that is incredibly powerful, and a magic that is mysterious and unpredictable... If one can successfully find its weakness, one can reverse the situation and secure victory.

In a sense, this characteristic is the most valuable aspect of this spear.

"From any perspective, this spear is a valuable item; if it were thrown into Cangxing City, it would cause a bloodbath."

Stroking the cold, black shaft of the spear, the long spear, flowing with energy, remained spotless even after being placed on the weapon rack for so many years.

"What a pity, I can't use such a good thing."

Sighing at the spear, Bell compared his own size to the spear tip and realized that his body wasn't even one-sixth the length of the spear tip.

Putting aside whether he could even wield that big gun, just the thought of him holding the gun's tail, which was thicker than his own body, and wildly swinging it forward made Bell feel incredibly grotesque.

Moreover, compared to the remains of the tomb owner, which could be burned even if they couldn't be moved, this spear was something that could hardly be burned.

Meteorite iron, which is born only when a world is destroyed, cannot be altered in form without a master smelter or forging expert and an extremely complex smelting and forging process.

Bell's own flames were not enough to melt the spear.

"Let's figure out how to take this thing away later. My goodness, this gun weighs at least 400 pounds."

He jumped onto the weapon platform, nudged the long spear with his big head to get a feel for its weight, and then jumped off the platform to inspect the other items on this floor.

Aside from the meteorite iron spear, there were only two stone boxes placed next to the weapon rack. The boxes were exquisitely carved, and the contents inside were likely of high quality.

"Opening the treasure chest at the end of an adventure is always the most exciting moment."

Rubbing his hands together, Bell, with a reverent attitude,

He leaped high into the air, hooked the ring at the opening of the stone box with his pickaxe, and used the momentum of the jump to open the box.

Inside the stone box was a square stone slab. These slabs were very similar to the square stones inscribed with information in the first layer, but their texture and luster were more peculiar.

Black jade-like stone slabs can record information, and these more exquisite stone slabs can record even more information.

"This is... a martial arts technique?!"

As his consciousness sank into the black jade slab, Bell saw a complete set of choreographed movements.

From daily training to fighting with others, and then to battles between two armies, all kinds of combat information are recorded in it.

The will of the tomb's occupant before his death provided detailed annotations for all the scenes and actions.

"Those who inherit my legacy must carry it on; if they are geniuses, they may also innovate and develop it."

At the end of these images are the words left by the tomb owner. He was extremely confident in the martial arts he had practiced all his life, but he also hoped that someone could go further on this path.

Mediocre people who obtain his methods can simply pass them on, expand their influence, and carry them forward.

He considered it a blessing if a genius could learn from his methods, or even just absorb his ideas as nourishment for growth.

"But I'm just a bamboo rat, this thing doesn't seem to be very useful."

After witnessing the tomb owner's martial arts skills, Bell first exclaimed, "Very strong, very good, and amazing!" Then he scratched his head and said, "I'm just a bamboo rat, what can you expect from me?"

But just as Bell was about to close the box and leave the martial arts technique to someone destined for it, the black jade inscribed with the technique lost its luster and shattered into a box of dust.

Black jade, which appears to be of higher quality than a single layer of square stone, can record more detailed information, including the engraver's observations and emotions.

But this thing was a one-time use item, and it broke after Bell looked at it.

"How did I inexplicably become the living successor of this martial art?! Damn it, I need to get my brain working."

With the experience and insights of the tomb's occupant, Bell made significant progress in his close combat and spear-wielding techniques.

Using the "Information Insights" feature, Bell noticed a new entry in his career section:

[Master of the Spear]

"Get out of here! Spearmen have always been unlucky, I don't want to be a spearman!"

The flame-shaped hair sticking out of the head twisted into a curl, and Bell used his mental power to wrap up the emotions and explanations belonging to the tomb owner in his memory.

His consciousness quickly sank into the dream world, and these emotions and memories were stripped from Bell's mental body through Bell's active manipulation.

Right in front of his mental cabin, wisps of foam emerged from Bell's floating body. These bubbles coalesced before him, gradually forming a large, shimmering bubble.

Bell copied the martial arts techniques from his memory and extracted the emotions and insights that the tomb owner had etched into them.

As Bell manipulated the map, the "Lance Master" attribute in his job list quickly faded, eventually turning into another attribute: "Lancer - Apprentice".

The reason for stripping away the tomb owner's insights into combat from his mind is that although these memories temporarily elevated Bell to the level of "Long Spear Master," the tomb owner's memories and experiences would also influence Bell's individual consciousness.

Having just come into contact with these insights, Bell will not be affected by them yet.

However, if the will of the tomb's occupant is allowed to reside within one's own will, then as Bell gains a deeper understanding of spear techniques, his individual will will be greatly influenced.

At that time, Bell's way of thinking, and even his life goals, will be irreversibly affected.

As the tomb owner left a message, geniuses can absorb all his insights and reach new heights, while mediocre people can only choose to branch out and pass on the techniques in place of the tomb owner.

Chapter 90 Azure Tears

"I'm not going to spend my whole life passing on some kind of spear technique just because of someone else's will!"

He snorted at the floating bubble in front of him, indicating that he still had a lot to do. He hadn't even begun to explore this vast and enormous world, and he hadn't yet seen the delicate girls of various races. How could he spend his whole life with a big gun?

(`へ*)ノ

"However, if I meet the right person, I will also pass on your insights."

He pulled a cotton-like cloud from above the floating island, shaped it into a small nest, and placed the shimmering, colorful gun-shaped bubbles inside.

If you find someone with the right affinity, you can hand it over to them; if you don't find someone with the right affinity, you can sell it to the lamp clan merchants, who will then find a suitable successor.
