Chapter 67: Cannibals VS cannibals (5)
The Sword Spear Sect.
A common fixture in martial arts novels, often as one of the Nine Great Sects that specialize in swift sword techniques.
For Ihan, who once spent countless shifts indulging in martial arts stories, the name had its share of memories.
The reason it stuck in his mind?
“Shooting, piercing the sun... Cool, even if it’s fictional.”
Techniques that claimed to hit, drop, or even pierce the sun: the Sun-Shot Sword Technique,Sun-Fall Blade Technique, and Sun-Piercing Spear Technique.
The names alone were unforgettable. But the more he read about the Sword Spear Sect, the more often he found himself disappointed.
“Just swinging fast... how exactly do they expect to bring down the sun?”
Merely speeding up their swings, with no real substance, just to cut down an enemy—it was underwhelming, to say the least. He’d wondered if they should rename the technique from Shooting the Sun to Shooting People.
“If they’re so bent on their identity, they could at least make an attempt to throw a spear toward the sky. These fancy names...”
But that was easier said than done. How could a human even think of touching the sun?
At the time, he had laughed it off as the kind of strange thought that only came to him when he was sleepy.
