Chapter 61 Basic Spear Technique, Unlocked
Open ground.
Chen Fan gripped the long spear. He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt a surge of bravery, completely different from holding a bow and arrow.
Zhang Ren frowned as he looked at Chen Fan’s hands holding the spear.
However, it’s understandable since Chen Fan had never practiced with a spear and didn’t know the correct grip.
"Spear technique, easy to learn but hard to master," he said slowly, his hands behind his back. "It’s easy to learn, even for beginners. Facing an enemy with a spear over three meters long doesn’t induce much fear; you just instinctively thrust the spear forward.
It’s hard to master because the spear is too long, especially the big spear, which is at least twice a person’s height, even up to four or five meters. Do you know what this means?"
Chen Fan instinctively shook his head.
"Leverage."
Zhang Ren uttered two words, "If your left hand is the fulcrum, then your right hand and the spearhead are the two ends of the lever. The spearhead is a labor-intensive lever; the longer the spear, the more pronounced the leverage effect,
In this case, even if your power surpasses others, your skill might still be suppressed by someone with less power. If you don’t believe me, I could spar with you using ordinary strength. Of course, if there’s a difference of two small realms or one large realm between the sparring parties, that’s another matter."
