Chapter 35 Overlord Halberd Technique
"...How come you have one of these in your house?"

Following Chen Nuonuo into the living room, Xia Qing looked at Chen Nuonuo with a strange expression as she saw the Fangtian Halberd placed against the TV cabinet, almost reaching the ceiling.

"Wow, isn't the halberd the coolest cold weapon?"

Chen Nuonuo looked somewhat excited.

"so?"

Xia Qing understood Chen Nuonuo's enthusiasm for card throwing.

"So what? Being handsome isn't enough?"

Chen Nuonuo said excitedly, "Whether it's strong or not is a matter of one version, but whether it's cool or not is a matter of a lifetime. I originally wanted to carry this to the comic convention to see if any handsome guys could show it off..."

At this point, her expression suddenly stiffened, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "It turned out to be a bit too heavy; there were hardly any that could be lifted..."

As she spoke, she looked at Xia Qing with some hesitation: "I forgot, I forgot about that. Um, I, I'll try to replace it with a hollow steel pipe as the halberd shaft?"

"Need not."

Xia Qing walked straight toward the halberd standing against the wall.

It leans slightly against the wall and almost touches the ceiling; its length is estimated to be at least three meters.

The overall design is not an imitation of an ancient weapon, but rather features distinct edges and straight lines, with each face appearing as if it were meticulously cut out using modern technology.

The halberd shaft, with its matte finish and uneven, frosted texture, is devoid of any elaborate carvings, yet it perfectly highlights the unique texture of metal while also maximizing its anti-slip properties and ease of grip.

Above are the double-edged halberd handles, very thick, like two large axes, with a bright black metallic sheen that seems to exude a chilling aura.

Between the two halberd handles is a bright, gleaming spear tip that contrasts sharply with the glossy black of the handles.

Or it should be called a spearhead.

It was not the short, sharp spike of an ordinary spear, but rather a flat, elongated prism, about the length of a forearm, as bright as silver, with each bevel so exquisite it seemed to glow.

Especially when contrasted with the glossy black halberd ears, it resembles a glimmer of cold light shining in the darkness, exuding a captivating beauty.

Upon closer inspection, Xia Qing couldn't help but marvel at Chen Nuonuo's excellent skills.

A surge of emotion welled up within me.

No man can resist weapons and machinery.

The halberd in front of us, with its modern technological style, is the perfect combination of the two aesthetics.

Unable to resist, Xia Qing reached out and slowly enveloped the halberd handle with her palm.

Grip it tightly!

Up!
Upon handling it, its weight is indeed extraordinary.

An average person might be able to lift it with difficulty, but swinging it around would be virtually impossible.

Even Xia Qing felt a sense of difficulty in using it at this moment.

Weapons cannot be used as heavily as they can be lifted.

Being able to pick it up and being able to use it skillfully in actual combat are two different things.

He could now clearly feel that even for him, this halberd was a bit too heavy, and would only slow down his reactions in actual combat.

Fortunately, it's still okay to pick it up and use it briefly.

Woo! Woo! Woo!
There's not much room to maneuver indoors either.

Xia Qing wielded his halberd and spear, casually employing the spear techniques he had learned before. As the halberd shaft swung, it roared like a tiger, thrusting and withdrawing with effortless ease, repeatedly striking out.

Like stars appearing in the void, or a serpent peeking out its head.

boom!
With the final shot, the halberd handle seemed to slip from his grasp, whistling as it flew out, only to be fiercely seized by Xia Qing at the very end.

Then, using a long weapon in a short space, he wrapped his arms around the halberd and turned around in the not-so-spacious area, suddenly unleashing another fierce counterattack.

"Wow!!!"

It was a long story, but in reality it was only a fleeting moment, yet it made Chen Nuonuo's eyes light up, and all she could hear was a chorus of exclamations.

Wow! You're a master! You really know martial arts!

"How did you manage to wield something so heavy? I can barely lift it!" "By the way, why are you using a melee weapon? Could it be... could it be that you're a border soldier?"

"I heard that our border troops use cold weapons because they don't fire the first shot. Are you going to charge into battle with a halberd?"

After finally calming down from her excitement, her questions came out in rapid succession, her eyes sparkling with joy and curiosity.

"Shh!"

Xia Qing rolled her eyes at the barrage of questions, which sounded like those of a curious child. She raised her finger to shush him, and then mentally began to practice the [Basic Marksmanship].

He was naturally very satisfied with this halberd.

But he wasn't sure if he could satisfy the [basic marksmanship] standard.

After all, their technique is spearmanship, not halberd technique.

Moreover, although the halberd is very cool and imposing, and theoretically combines the functions of multiple weapons such as spears, axes, halberds, and daggers, it is not actually a practical weapon.

Those who wield the halberd are mostly from historical novels and stories; the real halberd was more of a ceremonial weapon, used for display.

To be honest, Xia Qing didn't feel that it was particularly handy.

As mentioned before, it's too heavy.

It's fine for casual play or as a training tool, but it's easy to lag behind in actual combat.

"Basic marksmanship, is it okay? Give me a shout, or I'll just have to make do..."

"Your [Basic Spear Technique] stared at the halberd in your hand, stunned, marveling that you had never seen such a domineering, majestic, and ingeniously crafted weapon. It contained the full range of skills of eighteen kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks."

"Your [Basic Gun Technique] seems to have sensed a call from the soul, recognizing itself as born for this weapon. Like a swordsman or a knives master, you, with this domineering and unparalleled divine weapon, shall be the king of halberds, and from this day forward, you shall be renamed..."

Upon seeing the two lines of notifications, Xia Qing's heart stopped.

The undisputed king of halberds, wouldn't that be...?

You can't shout that!

Fortunately, the last word made Xia Qing breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"...From this day forward, it will be renamed—Overlord Halberd Technique!"

The Overlord Halberd Technique is good, as long as it's not the "Halberd Overlord" style.

However, Xia Qing soon became unhappy again.

The Overlord Halberd Technique was renamed after the Money Dart Technique, but it didn't upgrade.

He did not feel any feedback such as experiential memory.

"Your [Overlord Halberd Technique] requires you to familiarize yourself with and test this weapon."

"Alright, weapon types are weapon types, and weapons are weapons, right?"

Xia Qing immediately understood upon seeing the new text.

The Overlord Halberd Technique emphasizes the weapon, its performance, and how well it suits the user.

Switching from spear techniques to halberd techniques is a different matter altogether; techniques and weapons cannot be confused.

However, upon seeing this line of text, he was no longer worried.

As long as you like the Fangtian Halberd, that's all that matters. As for its performance...

Xia Qing looked around, then finally spotted Chen Nuonuo's hair, raised his halberd and stepped forward.

"Wow, you're not going to kill someone to cover your tracks again, are you?"

Seeing Xia Qing hold the halberd to her neck, Chen Nuonuo screamed in fright again.

"do not move."

Xia Qing rolled her eyes in annoyance, picked up a small tuft of Chen Nuonuo's shoulder-length hair, and gently placed it on the handle of the halberd in her hand.

The hair fell lightly, brushed past the halberd's edge, and was silently severed in two.

"Hiss! Your [Overlord Halberd Technique] is so terrifyingly sharp that even cutting a hair wouldn't be enough to describe it. The shock in my heart is beyond words. I never expected that the lord would bestow such a divine weapon upon me. My excitement and admiration are like a surging river, and our tacit understanding has greatly increased..."
