Once the trauma from the trial scattered away, Zhang Fengxi slowly warmed up to his new spear. The Three Realm Spear too was happy to escape its prison and come home with a master who passed his test.
Day after day passed, Zhang Fengxi's compatibility with the Three Realm Spear improved by leaps and bounds.
Whoever saw Zhang Fengxi while practicing with the Three Realm Spear agreed that Zhang Fengxi was the spear's destined master.
Zhang Fengxi's father, the Longjing Palace Master, Zhang Zhiyuan was more than proud of his son. He was so happy with his son's achievement that he bragged to everyone about it.
He was not the only one whose chest swelled with pride. Liu Yichen too bragged about his future son-in-law's prowess to anyone who wanted to hear it.
As stories were told from one mouth to another, Zhang Fengxi's legendary success in obtaining the Three Realm Spear somehow morphed into him claiming to be the strongest spearman in the Heavenly Empire.
