Walker Of The Worlds

Meng Bai read the book and took his time in reading it.

Unlike the Minor Water Manipulation Technique, the Water General's Armament Technique was a lot more complex and had multiple parts.

The technique allowed one to manipulate water to create all kinds of weapons. They could make swords, spears, daggers, axes, and even bows. It was a versatile technique that allowed one to forgo normal weapons and simply use water-forged ones. They wouldn't have to worry about breaking their weapons and could fight as they wished.

Of course, the power of the weapons made from the Water General's Armament Technique was also strong and depended on the cultivation base of the user. At the Core Condensation realm, one could make Low to Mid-Grade weapons. At the Nascent Soul to Dao Shell realm, they could make Mid to High-Grade weapons, and at the Dao Treading realm, they would be able to make Peak Grade weapons!

The weapons might not have innate weapon skills, but they could certainly match up as pure forging-type weapons in terms of durability and strength.

Lin Mu had obtained the Water General's Armament Technique from one of the shops back in the Rust Sky World, since it had seemed interesting to him. But back then, he couldn't use the water element, and the technique was also limited to the Spirit realm, so he hadn't really bothered learning it.

Now though, it would be perfect for Meng Bai, who had gained proper proficiency in the water element.

It took Meng Bai an hour to finish reading the book before he attempted to use the skill. He carefully followed the Qi circuits, manipulated the water elemental Qi, and turned it into a simple spear.

"I did it!" Meng Bai said excitedly.

"Not quite exactly," Lin Mu corrected him. "Where's its blade?" he asked.

"Ah!" Meng Bai realized that while the spear did have a tip, it was no blade.

It looked more like a stick that had simply been sharpened to a point.

"Lemme try again." Meng Bai said, focusing on the technique once more and letting the blade properly materialize.

SHUA

"Oh… it's a bit small." Meng Bai noted the blade, which was only about three inches long.

While the spear would be functional, it wasn't exactly perfect.

SHUA

He controlled the water again and finally managed to form a proper spear blade.

"There we go." Meng Bai said, feeling pleased.

"Try using it," Lin Mu suggested.

"Alright." Meng Bai swung the spear around, practicing some simple stabs and sweeping strikes.

It felt comfortable in his hands, even though the texture was different. Despite being made out of water, it felt firm, almost as if the water was encased within a resilient and elastic layer.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH

Meng Bai continued to swing the spear around before finally throwing it.

WHOOSH

The spear soared through the air, but before it could strike the ground, it dissipated into water elemental Qi.

"Huh…" Meng Bai hadn't expected that.

"You forgot to maintain your spirit sense connection," Lin Mu pointed out.

"Oof, how'd I forget something so basic?" Meng Bai face-palmed.

It was standard practice to connect one's weapons with spirit sense to enhance control, even when not directly holding them. Since this wasn't Meng Bai's usual spear, he had forgotten to establish the connection.

SHUA

He condensed the spear again, this time properly linking it with his spirit sense.

WHOOSH

He threw the spear once more. This time, it maintained its form and struck the ground accurately.

"Haha!" Meng Bai was pleased with his improvement.

"Good." Lin Mu nodded, satisfied with the result. "It's already at the level of a Mid-Grade weapon," he muttered.

While it couldn't compare to Meng Bai's own spear, which was a Peak Grade Spirit Weapon, it was still decent—especially considering that Meng Bai could use it freely, even as a ranged weapon.

"Try making other weapons too," Lin Mu encouraged.

"Alright." Meng Bai attempted to create a sword next, which came easily.

Following that, he made a dagger by simply shortening the sword. Then an axe, then a hammer, and finally a bow.

The bow, however, took a bit more effort, as the string proved tricky to form.

TWANG

Meng Bai tested the bow, pulling on the string, which was stretchier than that of a normal bow.

"I think I can adjust the draw strength of the bow," Meng Bai observed instinctively.

"Try shooting an arrow," Lin Mu urged.

"Hmm." Meng Bai held the bow steady and condensed an arrow onto it.

TWANG

He drew the string back and released the arrow. It shot forward, traveling over four hundred meters before striking a stone in the distance.

Meng Bai's eyes went wide with amazement.

"It's so much more accurate!" he exclaimed, having not expected that.

He had always been a little bad with bows after all.

"Probably because it's fully connected with your spirit sense," Lin Mu replied. "You should be able to control the flight of the arrow too."

"Yeah." Meng Bai realized that he had unconsciously done exactly that—he had simply wished for the arrow to hit the stone, and it had obeyed.

Lin Mu then had Meng Bai create several more weapons to test them out. He made small throwing needles, a crossbow, hooked swords, maces, and even a large ballista.

Creating the ballista, though, consumed a massive amount of Meng Bai's Qi and left him tired.

BOOM

But when he fired the large ballista bolt, even he was stunned.

The bolt flew over a kilometer before finally dissipating.

The sheer force behind the shot was impressive, and if the bolt had struck a creature, it would have certainly caused a massive explosion.

After all, Meng Bai could control the water the weapons were made from, and turning it into a focused explosion was surprisingly easy.

Learning about this possibility, Meng Bai grew even more excited. He tried a few more advanced moves from the skill, such as turning a single arrow into hundreds of sharp needles mid-flight, extending the length of a spear with a thought, and releasing waves of water slashes from the blade of a sword.
