Chapter 92: Blessing in Disguise (5)
I spent half a day immersed in spear training. There was no need for a manual or a teacher. I had already fully digested the knowledge of Spearmanship Lv. 1 and it was ingrained in my mind. I knew how to thrust and swing the spear.
Basic Spearmanship consisted of three movements.
First, the spinning thrust: I had to grip the shaft near the bottom with one hand, about a hand's width from the end, while using my other hand to hold the middle of the shaft. Then, I would spin the spear in a full circle, lowering the first tip to a 45-degree angle before thrusting it forward.
Second, the spinning press: I had to spin the spear again to build momentum, step forward, and press it downward. The spear would remain parallel to the ground as I applied enough force to make the shaft vibrate with tension.
Third, the thrust: I had to hold the end of the spear tightly and push it forward with speed. My other hand would support the lower end as I aimed to strike a precise point in the air, like firing an arrow.
Swish!
Hmm...
Swinging and thrusting the spear through the empty air made the time pass quickly. However, no matter how many movements I performed, no training quest appeared.
Maybe I lack talent in spearmanship?
The imperial guard probably possessed Spearmanship Talent, yet I hadn't absorbed it from any of them. Perhaps talent wasn't classified as a general skill. To obtain such talent, I'd either need to raise my Essence Absorption Level or...
I can purchase it with Hero Points later.
