Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

"It's...it's okay now."

Zhang Liao's smile almost overflowed as he quickly said, "Ping An, you take over from Zheng'er and practice the central spear with Lin Feng."

Zhang Liao was both surprised and delighted by Lin Feng's performance.

His family's traditional marksmanship requires a lot of hard work, and without expert guidance, many details are easily deviated from, making it difficult to achieve perfection.

If Lin Feng can miraculously learn the Zhang family spear technique, then the Zhang family spear technique will have a successor.

When Zhang Yuan's children grow up, they can learn to shoot from Lin Feng, thus ensuring that the Zhang family's tradition will not be broken.

From afternoon until sunset, Lü Zheng and Li Ping'an took turns practicing and sparring with Lin Feng.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Lu witnessed this "miracle" in its entirety.

In just one afternoon, Lin Feng mastered the fundamental principles of marksmanship, namely, "Four-sidedness as the foundation."

He was adept at using the techniques of holding a gun, including the central level and the circular gun techniques, as if they were extensions of his own limbs.

As night fell, more than ten lanterns were hung in the small drill ground.

Zhang Lu and his guards brought over a brazier and placed it next to Zhang Liao, and also set up a windproof screen.

The poison from the Wind Fox Beast in Zhang Liao's body had not yet been completely eliminated, and his body had become increasingly weak since the battle of Niujiaoyuan.

The warm sunshine during the day can still provide some relief.

When the night wind rises, one will suffer from the torment of cold poison.

With these items to block the wind and keep out the cold, the discomfort can be somewhat alleviated.

"Lin Feng, your basic marksmanship is already quite good, but you must not slack off."

Zhang Liao, warming his hands by the fire, earnestly advised, "When you lead troops in the future, if you have any free time, it's best to practice for a while every day."

"You must remember that only through diligent study and practice can you truly understand the mysteries of marksmanship."

Lin Feng made rapid progress, which surprised Zhang Liao, but he still gave him all the necessary instructions.

At this moment, Lin Feng, Li Ping'an, and Lü Zheng were sitting together eating and drinking.

After practicing all afternoon, the group was completely hungry.

Li Pingan and Lü Zheng wolfed down their food, while Lin Feng remained leisurely and unhurried.

"I have kept General Lin Feng's words in mind."

Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and asked softly, "General, could you teach me a few more moves tonight? I'd like to stay here and practice my shooting skills through the night."

Lu Zheng abruptly stopped chewing, his face contorted in pain. "Brother Lin, it's so late! Aren't you going to rest? I'm exhausted, my back aches, and I can't hold on much longer!"

Zhang Liao laughed heartily and said loudly, "It's good that you have such a thirst for knowledge! You've already mastered the basics of spear technique. Next, you'll practice the core of spear technique—using leather for striking."

The foundation of marksmanship lies in stability, and its core can be summarized into two movements: attack is "thrust" and defense is "strike".

The key to thrusting a spear is not just relying on arm strength, but rather emphasizing "the body like a crossbow and the hand like a spring."

"Zheng'er, go and demonstrate it to Lin Feng!"

Zhang Liao waved to Lü Zheng, who was wolfing down his food.

Helpless, Lü Zheng had no choice but to put down the food, clap his hands, and get up to get his gun.

"When exerting force, push off the ground with your back leg, rotate your hips and shoulder, and finally straighten your arm to make the spear thrust the farthest and with the greatest power."

Zhang Liao explained from the side: "What I just said was the key point. The standard for thrusting the spear is to make the spear pierce in a straight line."

"Lin Feng, watch Zheng'er's movements carefully."

"When you can practice until you can throw the spear with your eyes closed and the tip of the spear can accurately pass through the eye of a coin, then you've reached the pinnacle of spear thrusting."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Lü Zheng's movements, accurately capturing every key point and rehearsing it repeatedly in his mind.

After reading it once, I had memorized all the details.

"The difficulty lies in striking unexpectedly, that is, 'striking the gun coldly,' which requires a sudden movement."

Zhang Liao stroked his beard and slowly began to speak.

"Draw your gun quickly, and return it quickly too!"

"The saying goes, 'A gun is like a waist lock,' meaning that once a gun is thrust out, it must be able to be retracted instantly."

As for blocking (i.e., deflecting), it is not about brute force; the key lies in "blocking from within the circle" and "blocking from outside the circle."

He used the circle spear technique he had learned before to deftly deflect the enemy's weapon with minimal force.

"Both the spear and the leather spear require years of honing."

"I've already had some wooden stakes brought over; they're over there."

As he spoke, Zhang Liao pointed to the wooden stakes not far away.

"You can use it to practice, but martial arts training is not something that can be done overnight. You should study until midnight tonight and then go back to rest. I will continue teaching you after sunrise tomorrow."

Just as Zhang Liao was about to get up and leave, Lin Feng said, "General, I don't think this spear technique is difficult. Give me an hour or two, and I should be able to master it. Why don't you lend me a book on spear techniques?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an downed the rest of his wine in one gulp, let out a long sigh, and said, "Brother Lin, it takes at least a few months to master both the leather spear and the thrusting spear."

"Besides, it's so cold at night, you should finish your practice and go home early!"

Lin Feng thought to himself: I want to go back too...

However, his temporary comprehension points have a time limit. If he doesn't seize the time to practice martial arts, it will be difficult to make progress once the comprehension points disappear.

Seeing that Lin Feng insisted on staying, Zhang Liao ordered Zhang Lu to fetch the spear technique manual and give it to Lin Feng.

He then instructed Li Ping'an and Lü Zheng to spar with him until late at night, before going back to rest.

Lu Zheng and Li Ping'an, this pair of "unlucky partners," had no choice but to grit their teeth and accompany Lin Feng to practice spear thrusting and musket making.

They practiced from nightfall until three-quarters past dusk, and the two of them truly witnessed what "perverted" meant.

Raymond Lam's rate of progress is simply incredible.

After each round of combat, you could clearly feel that he had become stronger.

Their learning speed is astonishing.

By 3:45 PM, Lin Feng had almost perfected his skills with both the spear and the leather spear.

"Brother Lin, I, Lü Zheng, am truly impressed!"

Exhausted and covered in sweat, Lü Zheng gave Lin Feng a thumbs up: "At this rate, you might be able to learn most of your godfather's marksmanship in less than half a month."

Li Pingan patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Are you really staying here tonight? Then I'll have Zhang Lu and the others bring you some things to keep you warm."

It was early winter, and although it hadn't snowed yet, the night wind was biting cold, making it truly unbearable.

Thank you!

Lin Feng nodded slightly and added, "Have Zhang Lu send over two more jugs of good wine. I'll drink them to relieve my fatigue and refresh myself."

After Lü Zheng and Li Ping'an left one after the other, Lin Feng took out the classic text left by Zhang Liao - "The Fierce Tiger Breaking Army Spear Technique".

Zhang Liao's weapon was originally a tiger-headed, bright silver spear, which perfectly matched his spear technique.

Lin Feng was immediately captivated by it.

The "Fierce Tiger Breaking Army Spear Technique" is several times more complex than the "Mount Tai Three-Layer Waves" he had previously learned.

It also includes six unique martial arts techniques: fast, unusual, powerful, skillful, close-range, and long-range, which broadened Lin Feng's horizons.

This spear technique is truly worthy of being the Zhang family's secret weapon passed down for generations; it is simply incomparable to "Mount Tai Three-Layer Waves".

Lin Feng stayed up all night to read through the classic texts, thoroughly understanding all the essential points.

It wasn't until 2:45 AM that he was so tired that he fell asleep on the spot.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the warm morning sun shone on Lin Feng's face, and a soft, furry sensation gently brushed against his cheek.

"Um?"

Lin Feng opened his eyes and saw a pretty, fair-skinned face trying to suppress a laugh.

The girl's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. She bent down and brushed her hair against his face, a delicate fragrance lingering around his nose.

"You're awake?" Liu Ruyan smiled sweetly. "You slept on the drill ground last night, weren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"Miss Liu? What brings you here?"

Lin Feng rubbed his eyes and stretched his body, his joints making soft "crackling" sounds.

"I've come to deliver breakfast to General Lin, and while I'm at it, I'll keep Master Kuai company and bring you a gun."

Liu Ruyan moved aside, revealing Kuai Xiang's figure behind her.

"General Lin!"

Kuai Xiang stepped forward and bowed to Lin Feng.

Behind him stood two young craftsmen, carrying a long spear, waiting quietly.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately jumped down from the training platform and asked anxiously, "Master Kuai, is my spear ready?"

With a smile and a hint of pride in his voice, Kuai Xiang said, "General, I have lived up to your expectations and have completed the forging of your 'Amber Dragon Spear' on time."

"This gun is also my most satisfying masterpiece in the last twenty years!"
