My Mosquito Clones Are on a Killing Spree

Chapter 55: Chapter 48: Realm

The afternoon sun shone through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, casting bright spots of light inside the principal’s office.

Lin Yi stood before the large mahogany desk, his posture straight and his gaze firm.

He had just informed Chen Zhenguo of his choice.

"A spear?"

Chen Zhenguo looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his sharp eyes.

He put down the file in his hands and leaned forward slightly.

"Lin Yi, are you sure about this? The spear is the king of all weapons, and it’s true that it’s fierce and domineering. But it’s incredibly difficult to begin with, and mastering it requires the kind of persistent effort that can wear away stone. Without eight or ten years of hard cultivation, it’s difficult to achieve anything great. It’s nowhere near as quick to pick up as a sword or a saber, which show immediate results in actual combat. Are you really decided?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yi met the principal’s gaze and nodded.

"Yes, Principal! I’ve considered it over and over. The spear is the Weapon that best fits my heart and will best unleash my potential!"

His voice was steady and powerful, filled with an unquestionable resolve.

Chen Zhenguo stared at him for a few seconds before a smile slowly spread across his face, carrying a hint of approval and magnanimity.

"Good! In the Martial Dao, the first priority is one’s true heart! Since this is your choice, I support you! As long as you like it!"

He waved his hand grandly, full of presence.

Immediately after, Chen Zhenguo’s tone shifted, and his expression grew serious.

"Now that the Weapon is decided, the next step is the crucial selection of a combat skill!"

He stood up, walked around the desk to Lin Yi’s side, and lowered his voice, his tone solemn.

"But you have to understand, the basic Martial Skills at the school are all common fare. We can teach them to you for free. But the superior combat skills that can truly unleash a Martial Artist’s power and decide life and death..."

"They’re all copyrighted! They’re strictly protected by the Martial Artists Alliance and the major schools. Our school doesn’t have the authority to teach them privately."

Seeing Lin Yi’s focused expression, Chen Zhenguo continued.

"Alright, you just advanced to a Martial Artist, so you probably haven’t completed your official registration, have you?"

He gestured for Lin Yi to follow him behind the desk.

"Come, use your communicator to log into the official Huaxia Martial Artists Alliance website. Complete your registration, enter your identification and Martial Artist certification. This will get you into the official registry, give you a formal status, and you’ll no longer be a ’Black Martial Artist’! It’s also a prerequisite for you to enjoy official benefits."

Lin Yi nodded and immediately stepped forward.

Following Chen Zhenguo’s instructions, he entered his ID number and palm print, and then underwent a retinal scan.

The screen flashed, and soon a page popped up: "Authentication Successful. Welcome, new Martial Artist Lin Yi!"

"It’s done!" Chen Zhenguo patted Lin Yi’s shoulder. "As one of the benefits for new Martial Artists, you get to choose the cultivation rights for one combat skill from the official Combat Skill Library for free! This is a real, tangible benefit!"

Lin Yi’s heart stirred, and his fingers swiped quickly across the light screen.

He went straight to the "Weapon-Type Combat Skills" - "Spear" sub-page.

In an instant, a waterfall of densely packed icons and names flooded the screen, hundreds of them in total!

"Don’t waste time looking at the ones at the bottom."

Chen Zhenguo reached out directly, yanked the page upwards all the way to the top, where a dozen or so Secret Manuals with distinctly different icons hovered aloofly.

"Look at these! This is the real good stuff—Realm combat skills!"

"Realm?" It was the first time Lin Yi had heard this word, and his eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.

A look of yearning appeared in Chen Zhenguo’s eyes as he explained:

"The cultivation of Martial Dao techniques is like climbing a mountain, you advance layer by layer."

"Basic Level is for laying the foundation. Proficient Level is for mastering the moves. Micro Level is for exquisite control, without the slightest error. Control Level is like moving your own limbs, a perfect union of mind and intent! And above the Control Level..."

"...is the Mental Realm Level!

Chen Zhenguo’s eyes were profound as he continued:

"This thing, the Realm, is profoundly mysterious. It’s an extension of Wang Yangming’s ’Heart Learning,’ and even now, our Martial Dao world hasn’t fully understood it."

"You can crudely understand it as a kind of ’combat power amplifier’! Comprehending a Realm not only allows you to grasp similar Martial Skills faster and execute them with greater power, but more importantly, it can imbue your attacks or defenses with a unique ’presence’! The higher the Realm level, the more terrifying this power amplification becomes!"

He pointed at the ordinary combat skill icons below:

"With ordinary combat skills, even if you practice until you die, the most you can reach is the peak of the Control Level. You won’t even be able to touch the edge of a Realm!"

"But these Realm combat skills are Cultivation Skills that point directly to the core of a Realm!"

"Although their cultivation difficulty is extremely high, and many Martial Artists can’t even get started in their entire lifetime, remember, this is free! It’s the greatest benefit the officials give to new Martial Artists! Since it’s free, why not choose the best? The copyright fees for those ordinary Martial Skills below are a few hundred thousand at most. When you have money later, you can buy them anytime. But these Realm combat skills are truly not for sale. They have a price but no market!"

Lin Yi’s heart pounded in his chest, and a fiery light erupted in his eyes!

’The Martial Dao of this world is currently in its nascent stage. It has only been explored in detail regarding Qi and Blood cultivation. Almost no one truly understands what a Realm is, merely treating it as an ordinary means of power amplification.’

’But I am a transmigrator who has read countless web novels!’

’I understand all too well what this so-called Realm is!’

’It is a path of cultivation that leads directly to the Origin of the Great Dao!’

He immediately focused his full attention on the dozen or so Realm Secret Manuals, his gaze sweeping over them like lightning:

_Flaming Fire Spear_: A Lower Grade Realm spear art. Domineering and fierce. Allows cultivation of First Grade Spear Intent and First Grade Fire Intent.

_Thick Earth Spear_: A Lower Grade Realm spear art. Steady as a mountain. Allows cultivation of First Grade Spear Intent and First Grade Earth Intent.

_Cyan Wood Spear_: A Lower Grade Realm spear art. Filled with endless vitality. Allows cultivation of First Grade Spear Intent and First Grade Wood Intent.

...

Each name, each characteristic, represented a path to a higher state of existence.

Finally, Lin Yi’s gaze settled on a combat skill named _Water Source Spear_.

Its icon was a silver spear entwined with streams of azure water, appearing both agile and profound.

This combat skill was also a Lower Grade Realm combat skill, allowing the cultivation of First Grade Spear Intent and First Grade Water Intent.

Its core techniques consisted of three stances—

The defensive stance, ’Ceaseless Drizzle’, where spear-shadows as fine as silk threads weave into an impenetrable curtain of water, deflecting and neutralizing force, so tight not even a splash of water could pass.

The offensive stance, ’Water Drops Pierce Stone’, an attack-focused spear move. Its power isn’t obvious at first, but where the spear tip points, it’s like a trickling stream gathering force. The attacks are continuous and specialize in breaking through hard-style defenses, emphasizing the use of softness to overcome hardness and persistent erosion.

The power-charging stance, ’Boundless Waves’, where Qi and Blood surge and stack upon each other like tides, finally erupting with a mighty force like a tsunami’s giant wave. The spear’s momentum is torrential and unceasing, overwhelming the opponent with pure power!

"Water... Source Spear..."

Lin Yi muttered subconsciously, and a thought suddenly struck him.

’My Kidney Water Spirit Essence is a type of Water Element Spirit Essence.’

’Will this kind of Spirit Essence provide a bonus to cultivating the Water Realm?’

His intuition told him that it might just work!

"Principal!" Lin Yi looked up, his eyes as firm as a rock, no longer holding a trace of hesitation. "I’ve decided. I’ll choose this _Water Source Spear_!"

"Oh? The Water Source Spear?" Chen Zhenguo glanced at the Secret Manual’s description and nodded. "Good eye. The water-style spear arts balance hardness and softness, and their power is impressive. Very well, go ahead and download it. Just follow the official website’s procedures."

Lin Yi immediately did so. A complex confidentiality agreement popped up on the screen. The core content was that it was strictly forbidden to pass it on to others; he could only comprehend and cultivate it himself.

Without hesitation, he confirmed with an iris scan.

Soon, the _Water Source Spear_ Secret Manual was transmitted in encrypted form and stored in his communicator.

Download complete!

"Very good." Seeing him finish, Chen Zhenguo continued, "I don’t have the authorized cultivation rights for the _Water Source Spear_, so I can’t personally guide you. However..."

He picked up the internal communicator on his desk and pressed a speed-dial button.

"Zhang Quan, the Head of First-Year Instruction, happened to have cultivated this spear art in his early years, and he’s quite accomplished in it."

"Starting tomorrow, I’ll have him set aside time every day to give you special training in the exclusive advanced training room at the Martial Dao hall! We’ll strive to get you started and help you grasp the essence as soon as possible."

A warm current flooded Lin Yi’s heart. He said with sincere gratitude:

"Thank you for your guidance, Principal!"
