Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Qin Yuze’s Spear Lesson
Qin Yuze did not like waiting.
He understood why he had been kept away from Northwest Broken Ridge. He understood false road mirrors could exploit young talent, blood, gratitude, fear, and debt. He understood Qin Yuheng was not underestimating him.
Understanding did not make it pleasant.
In the Qin family training field, Qin Yuze thrust his spear again and again until thunder sparks scattered across the stones.
His first talent, S Grade Crimson Spear Battle Heart, gave him fierce offensive instinct. His second talent, SSS Grade Thunder Spear War Body, gave him explosive foundation far beyond normal young climbers. The combination made him terrifying for his age.
It also made him dangerous to himself.
Qin Feng stood at the edge of the field, arms crossed.
"Again."
Qin Yuze gritted his teeth. "I already hit the target."
"You hit the target and shattered the restraint stone behind it."
"It was in the way."
"That is why you fail."
Qin Yuze glared.
Qin Feng grinned.
"Good. Angry. Now miss properly."
Qin Yuze attacked.
Qin Feng moved.
The spear missed Qin Feng by inches and struck a black training pillar. Thunder exploded. Crimson spear intent pierced the pillar and cracked the barrier behind it.
Qin Feng sighed dramatically.
"If the enemy were a mountain, congratulations."
Qin Yuze’s face flushed.
"I can control it."
"No. You can aim it. Control means deciding how much not to release."
That sentence came from Qin Yuheng originally.
Qin Yuze hated that it was correct.
Qin Wanshan watched from a balcony with Qin Yuheng, who had returned after Hollow Child Bridge.
"He is improving," Qin Wanshan said.
"He is still too direct for false road battle."
"Yes. Which is why he must learn now."
Qin Yuheng nodded.
The family could not keep Qin Yuze behind forever. He was sixteen. He had awakened naturally. He had stabilized his second talent. His future was battlefield-oriented. Hiding him too long would dull him or make him reckless later.
The answer was controlled exposure.
Not Northwest Broken Ridge inner operations.
But training missions.
Qin Yuheng stepped onto the field.
Qin Yuze immediately straightened.
"Brother."
Qin Feng smirked. "Good. Now he looks obedient. Fake, but good."
Qin Yuze ignored him.
Qin Yuheng looked at the cracked barrier.
"Your power is growing faster than your decision speed."
Qin Yuze lowered his eyes.
"I know."
"Do you?"
Qin Yuze was silent.
Qin Yuheng took out a small black-red shard sealed inside glass.
A harmless remnant from a false road mirror, stripped of active power.
"This is not dangerous now. But study it."
Qin Yuze frowned.
"It feels... like it wants me to stab it."
"Exactly."
The shard emitted provocation resonance. Not control. Not command. A challenge.
For someone like Qin Yuze, this was dangerous.
Qin Yuheng placed the shard before a training dummy.
"Attack the dummy without striking the shard."
Qin Yuze gripped his spear.
Simple.
He thrust.
At the last moment, spear intent curved toward the shard.
He barely corrected, but the spear grazed the glass.
Qin Feng whistled.
"First death by bait."
Qin Yuze’s jaw tightened.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Each attempt improved slightly. His spear still wanted to answer challenge, but his mind began separating enemy from provocation.
Qin Yuheng explained.
"Blood Sun, Dawn Benevolence, and false road mirrors will not always force you. Sometimes they will invite your strongest instinct."
Qin Yuze breathed heavily.
"Then I cut the invitation."
"Good."
Mu Qinglan arrived with Qin Xue’er beside her.
Qin Xue’er watched Qin Yuze train and whispered, "He is loud."
Qin Yuze heard.
"I am not loud."
His spear crackled.
Qin Xue’er pointed. "Your spear is."
Qin Feng laughed loudly.
Mu Qinglan placed a hand on Qin Xue’er’s shoulder.
"Watch the moment before he strikes. That is where choice lives."
Qin Xue’er became serious and watched.
Qin Yuze attacked again.
This time, his spear stopped half an inch before the shard’s pull. He redirected and pierced the dummy cleanly.
No barrier damage.
Qin Yuheng nodded.
"Better."
Qin Yuze exhaled.
His pride returned slightly.
Then Qin Yuheng placed three shards in different positions.
Qin Yuze stared.
Qin Feng clapped. "Welcome back to suffering."
This family training Chapter mattered.
It showed the younger generation evolving alongside the main plot.
Qin Xue’er, watching carefully, lifted one finger and made a tiny cutting motion in the air.
A faint soundless ripple appeared.
Very small.
Barely noticeable.
Mu Qinglan noticed.
Qin Yuheng noticed.
Qin Xue’er blinked.
"What?"
Mu Qinglan smiled.
"Nothing. Continue watching."
But Qin Yuheng understood.
The bell-sword seed was not given to her, yet her own perception was already forming offensive direction: cutting the moment before a false invitation settled.
Future.
Not now.
But future.
That evening, Qin Yuze completed one hundred strikes without hitting provocation shards.
He was exhausted, furious, proud, and calmer than before.
Qin Yuheng handed him a small training seal.
"Controlled missions soon."
Qin Yuze’s eyes brightened.
"Really?"
"Outer support only. No road mirrors. No inner ridge."
"I understand."
Qin Feng muttered, "He understands now. Later he will try to negotiate."
Qin Yuze did not deny it.
Growth rarely meant perfection.
But the spear was learning restraint.
And the Qin younger generation was becoming harder to bait.
