Chapter 1026
However, just as Andrius hesitated among the lightweight spears, an elderly voice sounded behind him.
“Young man, if you choose such a light spear, even if you were to master the ninth form of the Burden
of Nine Skies, you might not be able to unleash its full potential.”
Andrius was slightly startled and turned to look behind him.
An elderly figure appeared at some point, but Andrius did not notice his presence at all. It was clear
that
the man had extraordinary abilities.
His hair and beard were white, but his eyes were bright, and there was a faint smile on his face. He
seemed kind and easy to approach.
“Sir, who are you?” Andrius instinctively asked.
“I am the guardian of the Medicine Sect.”
The guardian!
Andrius could not help but be shocked.
Before entering the restricted area, Kate mentioned that the guardian of the Medicine Sect was in the
late stage of Martial God, with strength approaching the Martial Saint realm. He had already been
renowned
since 150 years ago…
What an honor it was to meet him in person today.
Andrius could not help but take a closer look at the guardian.
The guardian did not mind and said frankly, “You have an extraordinary physique and have a rare talent
for martial arts. You’ve reached the realm of Martial God at such a young age, showing your limitless
future.
“However, you came here to learn the Medicine Sect’s ultimate technique, which is forbidden to be
passed down to outsiders. This might lead you astray. Thus, I’vee to offer some guidance.”
The man spoke with a sense of dignity and sincerity, making Andrius immediately trust him.
He quickly asked, “Sir, I read in the manual that the Burden of Nine Skies focuses on speed, agility, and
adaptability. Even Sect Master Klein and the others chose lightweight spears.
“Why do you say we shouldn’t choose a light spear? Is there a secret behind it?”
On one side of the hall were two points of interest.
The first one was several racks with various types of spears, such as ives, halberds, pikes, and
more. Some were old but still gleamed with a sharp aura while others were dim but bore the marks of
battles and encrusted bloodstains.
Andrius looked at the other location.
The walls there had grooves, and an old, yellowed manual was ced on top.
It was the secret manual of the Burden of Nine Skies.
Andrius immediately took the manual.
“The spear is the king of a hundred weapons. Training the art of the spear doth take countless moons.
Those who hath no perseverance shalt leaveth.”
The opening line only contained those sentences.
Andrius nced at it and turned the page to continue.
From there, it exined the spear technique itself, apanied by illustrations demonstrating the
subtleties of the moves. Andrius quickly became immersed in the manual, unable to pull himself away.
Several hours soon passed, and he finished reading the entire manual.
“The Burden of Nine Skies is truly remarkable…”
Andrius closed the manual and sat down cross–legged, closing his eyes to absorb the insights.
Time flowed like a river.
“Maybe I can start cultivating now!”

After several more hours, Andrius slowly opened his eyes, a glint shing in his gaze. No matter how
much he contemted, nothingpared to hands–on practice.
Andrius strode over to the weapons rack.
As he walked past the spears, he asionally picked one up and tested its weight.
Based on his understanding of the Burden of Nine Skies, it was a technique that emphasized speed
and
agility. Thus, he would need to choose a spear that was on the lighter side.
That way, he could maximize the technique’s skill in battle.

“Why do you say we shouldn’t choose a light spear? Is there a secret behind it?”
Andrius’s bright eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
The guardian smiled and said, “That was their mistake when they learned the technique, and I didn’t
bother correcting them. As for the specifics, you’ll be able to understand with a demonstration. What do
you think?”
Andrius was overjoyed to have the guardian as a sparring partner.
“Of course. Thank you for your guidance.”
“Come.”
The guardian curled his fingers and effortlessly pulled the lightweight spear that Andrius had been
pondering over toward him from a distance of several meters.
Telekinesis!
Andrius was shocked.
He was also capable of achieving such effects using inner energy, but doing it effortlessly like the
guardian was something he found unrealistic. It was clear that the guardian’s mastery of inner energy
was
close to godlike.
“Be cautious, young man.” The guardian chuckled and said, “I will usete–stage Martial Emperor inner
energy to test your defenses and let you experience it firsthand.”
“Please go ahead.”
Andrius gathered his inner energy for defense.
Swoosh!
Swish!
Swoop!
The guardian immediately began performing the Burden of Nine Skies.
In his hands, the technique truly looked like an art form. Even with the simplest first move, the spear
shimmered with chilling lights, moving like a dragon. Andrius was deeply impressed.
However, he was not a pushover. He resisted until the fourth form before the guardian finally broke
through his defenses.
“The fourth form…”
The guardian smiled and casually tossed the lightweight spear back to its original position.
Then, he picked up the heaviest spear and held it effortlessly, creating a dense and ominous aura. He
said with a smile, “Watch closely, young man.”
Whoosh…
The guardian was still usingte–stage Martial Emperor inner energy.
However, the effect this time was entirely different. Just by swinging the spear, it produced a whistling
sound like a strong gale, giving one an oppressive feeling.
The tip of the spear gleamed with a chilling light, inner energy vast and mighty, and filled with a sense
of death and violence.
“En garde!” the guardian warned, then lunged at Andrius.
