Chapter 496 Strange Spear
His roar attracted the attention of Black Hawk and others.
“I can’t take on such an important task since I am used to living a free and easy life. It’s better for you to take the leadership than me. I’m not qualified,” Wang Feng replied.
“But you know that the Dragon Spirit Squad will only get worse and worse if I take the lead. In the end, its existence will be unnecessary.” The words of the Dragon Spirit Squad leader surprised Wang Feng a lot, although he didn’t understand.
“Our troop was directly set up by the government. How could it be unnecessary? Are you lying to me?” Wang Feng asked doubtfully.
“Why would I lie to you? My cultivation life might have run its course. Among all the members of the Dragon Spirit Squad, there isn’t even one master who’ve entered the Late Stage of Great Void. If we encounter a problem that I can’t solve, do you think it is still necessary for us to exist?” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader asked with pity.
He was also a genius when he was young. The reason that he took such a high position in a short time was that he had a gift in cultivation. However, after entering the Great Void, promoting became difficult for everyone. Even though he was gifted, he understood it seemed to be the end of his cultivation course.
If the leader of the team were not so powerful, how strong could the team members that he trained be?
Moreover, the government would detest them if the Dragon Spirit Squad were getting weaker and weaker. They were just like the palace guards in the ancient imperial palace. The Emperor set it up directly to deal with various affairs. However, if its members were not qualified, they would be no longer useful.
“But how is it related to your abdication?”
“I want to make way for you since you are younger and more talented than me in cultivation. Maybe it will not take long before you promote to a world’s top master. At that time, it will be better for you to lead the team than me.”
“Who stipulates that the position belongs to the most powerful one?” Wang Feng asked in a sudden.
“It has been a routine in our army since it was founded. I don’t know who stipulated it, either.”
“According to you, can I take the national leader’s position since I am stronger than him now?” Wang Feng’s words made the Dragon Spirit Squad leader goggle.
Apparently, he didn’t expect Wang Feng to make such rebellious remarks. However, he found his words reasonable after thinking carefully.
“Anyway, just as I said, I will not take this position even if you threaten me with a knife to my throat,” Wang Feng said firmly.

“Besides, you don’t have to worry about anything. I will never leave the army even if I break through to the Late Stage of Great Void in the future. You just go on leading the team like before. Don’t mention it anymore.”
“So many people in our troop covet this position, but you actually refused my offer to you. I don’t know whether you are really stupid or you are out of your mind,” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader sighed, knowing that he might fail to have him take the position.
It would be useless for him to force Wang Feng to do this if Wang Feng didn’t agree.
“I’m not stupid, but everyone has his own ambition. I know what I am capable of. I can enjoy the privilege, but if you want me to take your position, just drop it.”
“Well, since you don’t like my position, I won’t force you. Let’s talk about another issue.”
“Another issue?” Wang Feng was stunned.
“Well,” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader nodded, adding, “do you remember the spear that you brought back when you were carrying out a task?”
“Yes,” Wang Feng nodded. How could he forget it? He was shocked by it when he found it at first, so it was still fresh in his memory when he recalled it.
It was a corpse of many years ago, but it did not decay and looked just like a living person. Even a nuclear bomb could not destroy it. This incident shocked Wang Feng a lot at the beginning.
However, it was a pity that the corpse was robbed by a group of mysterious people, and Wang Feng and his men only took back a spear.
“Well, recently, this spear sent out strange waves from time to time, as if it were alive. Do you want to have a look?”
“Yes, sure.” Wang Feng needed to have a look at the ancient weapon that was not rotted, just like the corpse. There must be some secrets in it.
Besides, the weapon gave out waves, which was really amazing. Wang Feng had never heard of any weapons that could emit waves in the Cultivation World. Weapons were forged by people and they were all lifeless objects.
An object of thousands of years ago must be full of mysteries that few people in the world today could decode it.
Wang Feng followed the Dragon Spirit Squad leader to a secret chamber that was tightly guarded. This secret chamber was made of aerial metal with amazing defense ability; bullets could not even leave any traces on it. That spear was put inside it at the moment.
The secret chamber was brilliantly lit up. In the center of the chamber, there was a desk, and the spear that Wang Feng took back was lying on it.
Through the glass, Wang Feng felt an aggressive air, which was definitely sent out from the spear. It surprised him a lot.
A lifeless object actually gave him such a feeling. God knew how many people had been killed by it. The spear was red all over as if it was picked up from a blood pool. It had changed a lot since Wang Feng brought it back at the beginning.
“How did it happen?” Wang Feng looked at the Dragon Spirit Squad leader, asking.
“I don’t know, either. I’ve done some researches in the National Library, but there isn’t any record of it at all. I don’t know whether such changes are good or bad.”
Ancient objects were full of mysteries. Even the leader could not decode it.
“You have X-ray vision. Please check on it and tell us what is going on inside the spear,” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader said to Wang Feng at the time.
“OK,” Wang Feng nodded and he applied his X-ray vision without hesitation. In fact, Wang Feng was thinking of seeing through the spear by his X-ray vision even though he wasn’t asked to.
They would definitely not take apart the spear since it was an ancient object and a priceless antique in the market. However, when a cultivator held it, it would enhance the cultivator’s power a lot. It was a rare treasure.
With his X-ray vision, Wang Feng saw that the interior of the spear was filled with runes. These runes were emitting brilliant rays, which almost made Wang Feng cry out with a shock.
What kind of weapon was this spear with such a weird internal structure? This was something that Wang Feng had never seen before.
Moreover, those blood-red things were really permeating from the inside of the spear, because there were really blood-like things in the spear. These blood-like things were inside the spear and didn’t leak out in the past thousands of years until today.
“What are these?” All of a sudden, Wang Feng showed a countenance of horror, which made the Dragon Spirit Squad leader confused. He was so anxious as if there were thousands of claws scratching his heart.
He had studied the spear for a long time, but he didn’t have the X-ray vision as Wang Feng did. He could only look at the exterior and he knew nothing about what it was like inside.
Thus, he wanted to ask Wang Feng when he knew Wang Feng seemed to have seen something different.
“What’s going on? What did you see?” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader hurried to ask when he saw Wang Feng drew back his sight.
“This is an evil weapon,” Wang Feng replied. Then he said to the Dragon Spirit Squad leader in a dignified color, “There is a lot of blood inside this spear. Numerous people were killed by it so that the blood has not dried up yet. Besides, there are a lot of runes that I have never seen and countless arrays inside it. It is a weapon made of arrays. As for its material, I cannot tell it, either.”
“This weird?” Hearing Wang Feng’s words, the Dragon Spirit Squad leader was shocked as well. Although he was experienced, he had never heard of such weapons. This was just sensational.
“Leader, you’ve seen the world; have you heard of anyone whose weapon is like this?” Wang Feng asked.
“I’ve inquired about this for a long time. None in the Cultivation World owes a weapon that is comparable to this spear. Most of their weapons are made of special metals. Even if it is so sharp that it would cut clean through iron as if it were mud, it can’t match this one.”
“Moreover, I have done experiments. The hardness of this spear is beyond imagination. It did not bend at all, even though I blew it with full strength. It’s hard to imagine how powerful the owner of the spear is.”
“Leader, do you know that beyond the Great Void is the Moral Stage?” Wang Feng asked suddenly.
“The Moral Stage?” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader murmured after hearing Wang Feng’s words as if he was caught in his memory.
He pondered about two minutes before answering, “Rumor had it that there is indeed another stage beyond the Great Void, but the environment of our planet is not good enough for cultivating masters of this stage,” with this, he sighed.
“Why?” Wang Feng sighed as well, but he was very anxious about the truth since there might really be a fantasy Moral Stage beyond the Great Void.
“Ho ho, it was not me who said that. I heard it from an old senior who lived for about 300 years. He knew many things that other people don’t know. If he didn’t tell me, I might not know it, either,” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader explained with a smile.
“Three hundred years...” Wang Feng was stunned at his words. It was quite extraordinary for ordinary people to live a hundred years. However, cultivators’ lifespan was several times longer than ordinary people, which was striking.
But soon, he seemed to think of something else and asked, “Did the old senior reach the Moral Stage in the hearsay?”
“No,” the Dragon Spirit Squad leader shook his head, and then he added, “the old man had been cultivating to break through this legendary stage throughout his life, but time and tide wait for no man and he didn’t succeed when he died.”
“He died?” Wang Feng asked regretfully.
“Yes, three years ago, he died in Zhongnay Mountain, and I paid a visit in person,” with this, the Dragon Spirit Squad leader cannot help but sigh repeatedly.
He was the No.1 master in the Celestial Empire, but time had no pity for the man. He couldn’t break through the stage and died regretfully.
“Zhongnay Mountain? Isn’t that our famous mountain in the Celestial Empire?” Wang Feng asked doubtfully when hearing his words.
“Yes, that old man was the No.1 master in the Celestial Empire in the past. More than 100 years ago, he started to practice in solitude in Zhongnay Mountain. Few people knew it at that time. It’s natural for you not to know it since you just entered this field for a short time.”
