"What’s going on here?"
"I have no idea."
"Dude, they’re making such a big scene! And it looks like they’re delivering sothing. What in the world is this?"
"Why don’t you go up and ask?"
"I wouldn’t dare. Honestly, the mont they stood there, my whole life flashed before my eyes, every mistake I’ve ever made."
"Military personnel... delivering sothing... to the n’s dormitory? Hmmm, I think I suddenly know what they’re here for."
"Oh? You know? Fellow student, could you please enlighten us?"
"Of course. Everyone, do you rember the legendary senior from our Shi University?"
"Legendary senior? Hmmm~~ Are you talking about Zhang Beixing, Senior Zhang?"
"That’s right! Other than Senior Zhang, I really can’t think of any other explanation for what’s happening right now!"
The students watched the group of guards and leaders disembarking from the vehicles, carrying boxes and gifts. They began to buzz with discussion, quickly focusing their speculation on Zhang Beixing.
After all, as far as Shi University was concerned, the only one who enjoyed such high status and treatnt, yet still lived in the n’s dormitory, was Zhang Beixing.
Even the principal wouldn’t command such a reception; if he were here, he’d have to stand aside ekly and act as a greeter.
With such a commotion downstairs, the occupants of dorm 203 naturally heard it.
Zheng Jituo, being close to the window, had already opened it and was looking outside.
Upon seeing the situation, Zheng Jituo exclaid in shock, "Holy shit, guys, co look! There are so many military personnel downstairs!"
"Military personnel?"
Hearing Zheng Jituo’s words, Jin Linyu and Dong Guoning also ca over and peered out.
Seeing that Zheng Jituo wasn’t exaggerating, they both exclaid, "Holy shit, it’s true!"
Then, realizing sothing, they turned to Zhang Beixing. "Lao Zhang, these people aren’t here for you, are they?"
"For ?"
Zhang Beixing made a curious sound and also stuck his head out to take a look.
The mont his head appeared at the window, he was imdiately noticed.
Gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.
Many students were ecstatic, shouting loudly.
After all, many of them had co to Shi University specifically for Zhang Beixing.
But when they arrived, Zhang Beixing had vanished the previous sester, busy traveling and never once making an appearance.
Now that they had finally caught sight of him, how could the students not be overjoyed?
Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of the military personnel as well.
They looked up, their eyes eting Zhang Beixing’s on the second floor.
Huo Honghao gave Zhang Beixing a slight smile in greeting.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he led the way into the dormitory building.
Soon, there was a knock on the door of dorm 203.
Zhang Beixing opened it.
Huo Honghao himself stood at the entrance.
"Brother Huo, what’s all this?" Zhang Beixing asked first, indicating his confusion.
Why had Huo Honghao suddenly brought people to see him? Making such a grand entrance was one thing, but why were they all carrying gifts?
If Zhang Beixing rembered correctly, he hadn’t asked them to prepare anything for him, had he?
A look of bewildernt was plain on Zhang Beixing’s face.
Seeing his confusion, Huo Honghao didn’t hide anything and said with a smile, "You just returned recently, Brother Zhang. We’ve been thinking; you tirelessly helped us train our troops, yet we haven’t shown any proper appreciation, which isn’t right. So, we conducted a small investigation. We discovered that as an Extraordinary Martial Artist and a master of spear techniques, you don’t even possess a suitable Weapon. Therefore, we had soone craft one for you. Brother Zhang, take a look. How does it feel?"
With that, Huo Honghao gestured with his hand, and the guard behind him, holding a cloth-wrapped rod, stepped forward.
The guard, understanding, held up the cloth-wrapped rod with both hands and presented it to Zhang Beixing.
Seeing this, Zhang Beixing’s eyebrows rose slightly.
He reached out and took the rod from the guard’s hands.
The instant he took it, a substantial weight settled into his hands.
"WOW!" Zhang Beixing’s eyes lit up, an involuntary sound of admiration escaping him.
Though this rod was less than a ter long, its weight was anything but light. Conservatively, it had to weigh well over eighty pounds. For others, this weight would be downright daunting; it was simply too heavy. To put it in perspective, even the fad silver spear of Zhao Zilong, that peerless general from the Three Kingdoms era, weighed only about fifty pounds. This single section of the spear was already more than double that weight! Compared to the Overlord Spear wielded by the Hegemon-King Xiang Yu, it was only about a pound lighter! And the crucial thing was, this was only one part of the spear!
When Zhang Beixing removed the wrapping cloth and assembled the spear’s three sections, a three-ter-long spear, weighing a staggering two hundred and sixty-five pounds, was impressively revealed!
"A fine spear!" Zhang Beixing exclaid in admiration.
Despite its two hundred and sixty-five pounds—roughly the sa weight as Zheng Jituo from their dorm, 203—it felt perfectly balanced in Zhang Beixing’s hands. Any heavier, and it would be cumberso, restricting his movents. Any lighter, and it would lack that satisfying sense of impact.
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Beixing saw that the spear shaft was crafted entirely from snakewood—known as the densest, hardest wood in the world, often called the ’diamond of woods.’ It had also undergone so special treatnt during its creation, making it even denser and more compact.
