Chapter 102 Spear Mastery and Spear Sect

Pan Feng had been winning battle after battle for days, and his arrogance had swelled to the extreme. His deliberate probing during their fight led him to misjudge Jiang Song as "good-looking but useless".

At this moment, he was full of underestimation of his opponent, still believing that his opponent was only good at technique and had only average strength.

Therefore, when Jiang Song charged at him on horseback, he decided to use his most proficient brute force to strike, hoping to severely injure his opponent in one blow and quickly end the battle. It was this arrogance and miscalculation that caused him to suffer such a severe injury in the very first move.

As Pan Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his original arrogance was instantly extinguished by Jiang Song. His eyes, while losing their contempt, became more solemn and wary.

At this moment, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately gripped the pear blossom axe in his hand and focused all his attention on dealing with Jiang Song.

Now that things have come to this point, how could he not know that Jiang Song's strength was several times greater than he had just displayed, and coupled with his superb skill level, it was enough that he dared not underestimate him in the slightest?

[Ding dong, Pan Feng's skill "Fierce Tiger" effect 1 activated. After this skill effect is activated, the user's attack power increases by 5;]

Pan Feng's base martial prowess is 105, Black Wind Horse +1, Pear Blossom Mountain-Splitting Axe +1, current martial prowess value increased to 112;

Pan Feng continued with his previous tactics, intending to use his superior strength to restrain Jiang Song and prevent him from unleashing his full power.

After all, in his view, the reason he was so badly injured just now was simply because he underestimated his opponent's strength. Now that he was showing his true strength, the person in front of him might not be his match.

But he completely forgot that Jiang Song's attack was just a feint to test the waters; not all fierce generals who are good at using skills lack great strength.

Pan Feng is no Li Yuanba, and he's not worth Jiang Song's effort to deal with using techniques. His sheer pure power alone is enough to give him a hard time.

[Ding-dong, Jiang Song's skill "Spear Mastery" has been activated;]

Spear Mastery: The ultimate skill among spear techniques, the pinnacle of spear mastery. It can only be awakened when one comprehends spear techniques and truly cultivates them to a state of divine perfection. The specific strength and effect of the awakened skill vary from person to person.

Effect 1: In battle, when facing someone whose skills are weaker than yours, it can exert a certain degree of pressure on them. The first activation reduces the opponent's strength by 3 points, the second activation reduces the opponent's strength by 2 points, and the third activation reduces the opponent's strength by 1 point. This effect can be activated up to three times.

(Note: When the opponent's skills are closer to your own, there is a certain probability that you will need to reduce the number of times you can use your skills.)

Effect 3: When facing an opponent using firearms or heavy weapons, seal their weapon's attack power bonus, and the user—

Weaponry enhancements doubled;

(Note: Your own weapon's amplification can only be doubled if you fail to seal the opponent's weapon amplification. If you fail, this effect cannot be activated.)

Effect 4: When facing an opponent who uses guns or heavy weapons, if their base attack power is not higher than yours, you can seal their combo attack power boost.

Effect 5: When facing an enemy using heavy weapons, for every hundred pounds heavier than one's own weapon, one's own martial strength will increase by one point. This effect can increase martial strength by a maximum of three points.

Jiang Song's peak five-dimensional attributes are: Command 81, Strength 108, Intelligence 72, Politics 67, Charisma 93.

Since Jiang Song is only 22 years old, his martial arts attributes have not yet reached their peak. His current five-dimensional attributes are: Command 81, Martial Strength 106, Intelligence 72, Politics 67, and Charisma 93.

"What the hell."

Upon seeing Jiang Song's skill, Jiang Ce was slightly excited. After all, although it was a support skill, its power was indeed quite terrifying.

However, when he saw the five-dimensional attributes that Jiang Song had revealed, he almost fainted, because Jiang Song had not yet reached his peak.

So he quickly asked the system and realized that some of his original ideas were due to his lack of understanding of the history of Tianyuan Continent, which led to some deviations.

The Blood Fiend Qi system of Tianyuan Continent has matured over hundreds of years of continuous development, and the sages and wise men of those eras have naturally summarized many rules.

Take the Extreme God General as an example. Anyone who wants to successfully take this step has a threshold requirement: they must enter the God General realm before the age of twenty.

Only by meeting this requirement can one be qualified to ascend to the position of a supreme god general, and this seems to be the rule of this world.

Of course, a martial artist who enters the Divine General realm before the age of twenty does not mean that he or she can reach the ultimate Divine General realm; it only means that he or she has the qualifications to strive for that realm.

If someone doesn't reach this threshold, they probably won't be able to step into the realm of Divine General in their entire life, unless they can find some opportunities, some opportunities that can be described as heaven-defying.

According to the system, Jiang Song successfully entered the realm of Divine General at the age of nineteen.

[Ding dong, Jiang Song's skill "Spear Mastery" effect 1 activated. When facing someone whose skills are weaker than yours, it can exert a certain degree of pressure on them. The first activation reduces the opponent's strength by three points.]

Pan Feng's own combat strength -3, current combat strength value reduced to 109;

There are countless generals in the world, and while skill-based generals are not numerous, they are certainly not few either. However, those who specialize in negative suppression and—

A general who can lock down skills is extremely rare among generals of the same rank.

However, under these circumstances, his skill enhancement effect will be slightly different from that of martial artists of the same level, but in terms of suppression ability, he far surpasses his peers and is more powerful than expected.

Of course, martial artists who take the extreme control route also have their major drawbacks. When they break through to a higher realm, the bottlenecks and difficulties they face are far more difficult than those faced by ordinary people.

However, the more difficult it is to break through, the more profound the accumulation of realm becomes. Once this type of general successfully breaks through, the combat power they can unleash will be stronger than imagined.

For this reason, such martial artists have always been among the top in their respective realms.

Jiang Song, standing before us, is precisely this type of warrior. After breaking through to the Divine General level, not only have his skills become stronger, but his own strength has also doubled.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Song was this type of military general that, due to his age, his basic martial prowess had not yet reached its peak after he was born.

Even so, it still cannot conceal his strength. After all, Jiang Song's skills will not change. He will only lose two points of basic combat power boost during battle. As long as he is not fighting against opponents of the same level, it will not have a significant impact on his strength.

Take Jiang Song's spear skills as an example. This thing is simply the king of natural counters, whether it is a powerful general with the strength to split a thousand pounds, a steady and heavy offensive general, or a martial artist who is also proficient in spears.

Anyone who encounters him will be completely suppressed by Jiang Song, with almost no chance of turning the tables.

Simply because his weakening effect is too overpowered.

Both the first and second layers of effect can suppress the opponent. With the double suppression, if the opponent does not have complete immunity, they are destined to be at a disadvantage against Jiang Song.

At this moment, Pan Feng was deeply trapped in this predicament where she was powerless to resist.

In his eyes, Jiang Song's marksmanship was already flawless and perfect. Every move was refined to the extreme, and the offense and defense were perfectly integrated, leaving almost no room for error.

No matter how exquisite and ruthless Pan Feng's Pear Blossom Mountain-Splitting Axe was, with its continuous chopping, smashing, sweeping, and slashing, and its momentum as violent as thunder, it could never touch Jiang Song's spearhead even slightly, and had no chance to use its force against him.

In Pan Feng's perception, although Jiang Song's speed was fast, under normal circumstances, it was definitely not fast enough to put him in such a desperate situation where every move missed and he was left unscathed.

But the person before him did it with effortless ease, as if he had already seen through all the movements of his axe.

No matter how fast or fierce his attacks were, Jiang Song could always precisely dodge at the last moment, causing all of his attacks to miss. Then, his spear would strike him like a venomous snake, accurately piercing his armor.

Not only is his skill exceptional, but his strength is also formidable, consistently striking the most critical areas, making him impossible to defend against.

Such unpredictable and exquisite marksmanship was something Pan Feng had never heard of before, and had never seen in his entire life.

In his memory, even Han Yanming, the number one expert in the Han family, whose marksmanship was already famous in the region, probably could not have such a peak and superb marksmanship!

[Ding-dong, Jiang Song's skill "Spear Master" activated;]

Spear Master: A master of spear techniques. Only those who have cultivated spear techniques to a certain level and created a spear style have a certain probability of awakening this skill, or they can advance from the skill "Spear Master". The specific strength and effect of the awakened skill vary from person to person. It can be advanced to the peerless divine skill "Spear God" or "Spear Saint".

Effect 1: After this skill effect is activated, the user's attack power increases by 8;

Effect 2: During combat, depending on the enemy's strength, reduce the enemy's strength by 1 to 3 points.

Effect 3: If the enemy is using a gun, there is a certain chance that Effect 2 will be doubled, provided that the base attack power is not higher than your own.

Effect 4: Master of Spears. When carefully instructing a spear-wielding general, if their base strength is at the third-rate level, their base strength can be increased by 1 to 6 points.

If their basic combat strength is at the second-rate level, their basic combat strength can be increased by 1 to 5 points; if their basic combat strength is at the first-rate level, their basic combat strength can be increased by 1 to 4 points.

-

If their basic martial strength is at the top-tier level, their basic martial strength can be increased by 1 to 3 points; if their basic martial strength is at the heavenly level, their basic martial strength can be increased by 1 to 2 points.

(Note: If the general is a divine general, there is a certain chance that his base martial strength will be increased by 1 point, provided he is not a mid-level divine general.)

Jiang Song is undoubtedly a master of spear techniques in the entire Sui and Tang Dynasties. In particular, in the story of the Rise of the Tang Dynasty, Dongfang Bo, who is second in the world, finally reached this level after being taught spear techniques by Jiang Song.

Moreover, when Jiang Song was teaching Dongfang Bo, he made it clear that the knowledge could not be passed on to outsiders, and Dongfang Bo nodded in agreement.

However, after Luo Cheng broke his oath and killed Yang Yichen, a friend of Dongfang Bo, Dongfang Bo also broke his oath and passed on the Jiang family spear technique to his three friends, Yuan Mujue, Li Tianchang, and Wang Buchao.

These three individuals caused immense trouble for the Tang Dynasty, even resulting in heavy losses for the Tang's second-generation generals.

And this is only the achievement of Dongfang Bo as a disciple. One can imagine just how high Jiang Song's spear skills have reached.

The other three effects of the Spear Sect, when combined with Jiang Song, are indeed powerful, but compared to the final effect, the difference is like heaven and earth.

After all, skill effects that can permanently enhance other people's attributes are quite rare.

Moreover, the skill "Spear Mastery" provides a significant permanent attribute boost to others, especially low-level spear users. If they can receive guidance from Jiang Song, it will definitely be one of the greatest opportunities of their lives.

Moreover, and most importantly, the last effect has no limitations.

In other words, a top-tier martial artist might break through to the level of a Heavenly Rank General due to the permanent amplification of this skill.

And martial artists at the peak of the Heavenly level might also break through to the level of Divine General due to the permanent amplification effect of this skill.

Jiang Ce currently has quite a few people who meet the requirements for this spot.

Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, Wu Xiaofeng, Ling Gu Fu —

These people are all at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, and they all use firearms.

After all, spears and lances are also types of firearms. As the saying goes, the ultimate goal is the same, so they are basically just different forms of the same thing.

However, for some reason, Jiang Ce felt inexplicably uneasy after seeing Jiang Song's advanced skills.

According to the system, the core threshold for a God General to break through to the Peerless God General level is to comprehend and awaken a second God-level skill.

To achieve this, one's original divine skill must not be mediocre; at least an eight-point increase in martial prowess is required to qualify for advancement and compete for this position.

If multiple divine generals compete for the same peerless divine general position at the same time, the ultimate winner will not only be determined by the difference in their own strength and that of their competitors, but more importantly by the strength of their divine skills.

The better your skills, the greater your chances of winning.

Of course, there is one exception to this rule.

If a god-general personally kills the current god-general of the corresponding peerless divine skill position and seizes its exclusive divine skill, he/she can inherit the peerless god position with 100% certainty and will no longer need to compete with others.

Take Jiang Song for example. He is a divine general who aims to become a Gun God or Gun Saint. As long as he kills the current Gun God or Gun Saint, this divine position will surely belong to him.

Even if other competitors are stronger and have better skills, they cannot shake its position.

The key issue is that Jiang Song's spear skills are only just enough to qualify him for the Peerless God General title.

With this level of skill, it would be extremely difficult to take the position of Gun God or Gun Saint.

After all, the positions of peerless generals are basically all in—
