All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

"Come in!"

When the elder saw him staring blankly at his collection, he knew he had achieved his goal.

"Kid, don't get complacent just because you hunted down the Alien Queen during your coming-of-age ceremony. There are many other powerful creatures in this universe besides the Alien."

It picked up a specially made retractable spear from the weapon rack next to it and tossed it to Chu Cige, saying, "Didn't I give you an elder's spear? Why didn't you bring it?"

Chu Cige was taken aback upon hearing this. "Isn't that a symbol of an elder's status? I put it in my room."

That was indeed his thought. After obtaining the spear, he placed it and the Queen's skull together as collectibles, intending to display them in a showcase after returning to his home planet.

"Foolish! Weapons are for killing and hunting, not for looking at. That thing is just a weapon I use every day, it doesn't have that much meaning."

The elder appeared furious, but secretly rejoiced.

You made the same mistake I did back then, you got fooled by this stuff!

Back then, I was just like this kid, and when the elder bestowed upon me a spear, my heart was filled with excitement.

He believed this was the elder's recognition of him and his confidence in his future. The spear was a token given to him by the elder, and also a symbol, a constant motivation to move forward.

When he shared this idea with Reina's grandmother, he was immediately ridiculed, who said he was too young to be imagining so many things about a weapon that had been given away.

It clearly remembers that afternoon, the laughter, and how embarrassed it was to dig its toes into the ground.

Now that it was its turn to mock the Chu Ci song, it felt incredibly comfortable.

"ah……?"

"What are you talking about! This Elder's Spear of mine is a specially made weapon, much stronger, sharper, and more durable than a standard telescopic spear. You're really ignorant, having such a good thing but not knowing how to use it, just letting it sit there and wasting it."

It picked up another spear, weighed it in its hand, and said, "Enough talk, get ready and let's begin."

"..."

The Chu Ci song is speechless.

Isn't it you who's doing all the talking?

I only replied with one sentence, and they said I was talking nonsense.

If you want to teach me a lesson, just say so. Why beat around the bush?

He twisted his wrist, and "snap!" was heard.

The retractable spear in his hand had sharp blades that shot out from both sides, unlike the retractable spear he used in the pyramids.

The elder's spear is somewhat like a trident, with a main spearhead and two secondary branches, but it is slightly different. The two secondary branches are located further back and resemble claw knives with barbs.

The tip and middle of the main spearhead are also fitted with a counterweight resembling a double-edged axe, which has the effect of piercing armor and bleeding.

The spear felt very light to hold, and after a few movements, it felt quite easy to handle.

He needs to practice for a period of time to use this kind of specially made telescopic spear better.

Otherwise, it might not be as good as a regular telescopic spear.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and attack me."

It couldn't wait to teach the kid a lesson; its voice sounded a little impatient.

Chu Cige warned, "Be careful, Elder!"

The words were spoken.

He took a step closer to the elder, and the spear tip shot out like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.

"Good timing!"

The elder raised his spear and parried precisely.

"clang--!"

The sound of metal clashing against metal, the tips of spears trembling.

This strike was clearly powerful and heavy.

"Good lad, you're surprisingly strong."

The elders had guessed that Chu Cige's physical abilities were superior to those of ordinary Ironbloods, but they never expected that he could rival elite Ironbloods.

It seems I underestimated him.

However, it's still not enough for it.

"Snap—!"

The spear blades locked in a stalemate, producing a harsh scraping sound.

For the first time, Chu Cige felt that her strength was insufficient. Her arms trembled slightly, and she had used all her strength but still could not stop the decline.

He could only use the force to push away and quickly dodge.

He can't compete with her in terms of strength, so he can only try other methods.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Cige once again brandished his spear and attacked.

"Clang! Clang..."

The sounds of clashing weapons echoed throughout the secret chamber.

Chu Ci Ge's attacks from various angles were all anticipated and deflected in advance.

He wielded the spear techniques given to him by the system with ease, including sweeping, slashing, hooking, slapping, and diagonal thrusts, but he couldn't even break through the elder's defense.

The two spears seemed to follow each other like shadows; wherever Chu Cige's spear appeared, the elder's spear was already waiting halfway there.

This match, which resembled a teaching session, left him feeling extremely frustrated, and his spear movements became increasingly chaotic.

Chu Cige seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed on the spear thrusting at him, his mind filled with countless spear shadows attacking from all directions, which he defended by instinct.

The spear is no longer bound by rules, but moves at will, with the spearhead often appearing in unexpected places, which even the elders sometimes cannot predict.

"Good lad, he actually grasped it so quickly." The elder was secretly amazed.

When Pu Yi fought him, his spear technique was still quite conventional, and one could see the shadow of the training camp lone wolf, which was not surprising.

Many Ironbloods, when they leave the training camp, still retain traces of their training in their spear techniques.

Furthermore, since Lone Wolf was personally taught by it, it was naturally more familiar with spear techniques, so it was only natural that it could guess Chu Ci Ge's next move.

Unexpectedly, in just over a dozen moves, he changed his habits and methods, and his spear technique became unpredictable. Sometimes his moves were like a gazelle hanging its horns, and sometimes they seemed to come naturally.

If it weren't for its experience, it would have really been tricked by this kid.

"As expected of my chosen grandson-in-law, his talent is truly exceptional." The elder was in high spirits and began to actively teach Chu Cige some techniques.

His spear technique became increasingly sharp and fast, but the force he applied in his hands lessened considerably.

The clanging of weapons echoed continuously in the secret chamber, mingling with Chu Cige's rapid breathing...

A moment later.

"Clang—Clatter!"

The Chu Ci singer was knocked away by the retractable spear.

He also emerged from that special state, and a feeling of soreness and weakness quickly spread throughout his body.

His body went limp and he fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"call……!"

His chest heaved violently, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

But his mind was perfectly clear; he was still savoring the sparring session, the spear technique that he wielded with such ease and without adhering to any set rules, leaving him with endless enjoyment.

This exchange greatly improved his spear technique, and the rigidity of his moves became much less pronounced. As long as he goes back and practices more, and exchanges more with other Ironbloods, he will be fine.

That way, you can break through the existing constraints and advance to master-level spear techniques on your own.

"How much longer are you going to lie on the ground?"

Just when Chu Cige thought it was all over, the elder's deep voice rang out again.

He picked up the spear that had fallen to the ground and put it back together with the spear in his hand.

Chao Chucige waved his hand, signaling to fight again with bare hands.

Are you coming again?

He knew he had to get through this ordeal today, and he thought it was over just now, but it turned out to be just the beginning.

It seems I won't be able to leave this room without getting a good beating from it.

He pushed himself up and attacked the elder.

"what……"

"Not bad strength, huh! Your intentions are so obvious, how dare you give me a lesson?"

The elder grabbed Chu Cige's waving fist, pinned it down, and punched him in the face.

"Bang—!"

"Don't hit my face... ah..."

"Can't you see the difference? I'll make sure you can't!"

The elder kept hitting his face, cursing and swearing as he hit harder.

"Your footwork is messy and unsteady, your punches are weak and feeble, and you have the nerve to teach..."

Screams echoed continuously from the sealed room, and continued for a long time...

A short while later.

Chu Ci Ge, his head covered in bumps, was carried away by the guards.

The elder was left refreshed, looking as if he still wanted more.
