Chapter 236: Phantom Tassel
"Why is it so 'magical'?" Tie Hongyan was curious.
"Yes, why is it magical?" Wu Xunsheng also wanted to know.
"Look at the black tassel on it. This is why it is magical." Di Feng pointed at the black tassel on the gun and showed it to the two children.
Wu Xunsheng had seen the Red Tassel Spear when he was in Yugutang. The people in Yugutang introduced the Red Tassel Spear to the children. The person who was holding the Red Tassel Spear and explaining it to the children said that when using the Red Tassel Spear to fight the enemy, the tassel can absorb blood, preventing the blood on the spear tip from flowing down the spear shaft and affecting the use of the spear. Because the red tassel on the spear is similar in color to blood, no matter whether the tassel has absorbed blood or not, it is easy for the enemy to feel that the tassel has absorbed blood when fighting, so sometimes it can boost the morale of the user.
Wu Xunsheng saw that the spear had a black tassel and asked, "Why not a red tassel? Wouldn't a red tassel help boost morale?"
“When you practice the Phantom Tassel Spear Technique to the tenth level, and all conditions are met, the black tassel can turn into a red tassel.” Di Feng replied.
"Ah? So powerful!" Wu Xunsheng thought, if the original red tassel can make the enemy feel that the gun is stained with blood, if the gun is black at first and suddenly turns red when fighting the enemy, it will be easier to boost the morale of our side. But he thought again, why must it be black at the beginning? If a white tassel is used, the tassel on the gun is white at first, and turns red when fighting the enemy. Wouldn't the contrast be more obvious and more likely to boost the morale of our side? So he asked: "Then why not use the white tassel? Wouldn't it be better if the white tassel turns red when fighting the enemy?"
"There is no white phantom tassel. If you randomly install a tassel of another color on a gun, it can no longer be called a phantom tassel gun, because those ordinary tassels do not have the power of a phantom tassel. This phantom tassel is picked from the tree. It was originally red when it grew on the tree. After being picked, it will only turn black, and it cannot turn white."
"What?" The two children were stunned.
"Does this phantom tassel grow on a tree?" Tie Hongyan asked.
"Yes, the phantom tassel is a very magical thing, it is definitely not an ordinary tassel!"
"Why can it grow on trees?" Tie Hongyan asked. "There is a story behind it. I will tell you when you grow up. Even if I tell you now, you won't understand."
"How do you know we don't understand? Master Di is the best! Tell us quickly!" Tie Hongyan said.
"I can't tell you today. What you need to do now is to follow me and practice the first level. Otherwise, if the clan leader asks me about your progress in martial arts, I won't be able to tell you."
Although Wu Xunsheng also wanted to listen, when he heard Di Feng say that, he smiled and said to Tie Hongyan: "Since the master said that he can't tell us today, forget it. I believe he will tell us later."
After hearing what Wu Xunsheng said, Di Feng felt that Wu Xunsheng was an even more likable kid.
"Well, since the master doesn't want to tell me, I won't listen for now. But you must tell us later!" Tie Hongyan said with a smile.
"It's a deal. When you grow up, I will tell you!"
After saying that, Di Feng took the two children to start practicing the first level of the Huanying Spear Technique.
Since Wu Xunsheng did not have good basic martial arts skills, it was quite difficult for him to practice the Phantom Tassel Spear Technique, but he always forced himself to try. He would do the movements that he could do well, and if he really couldn't do them well, he would do them to the best of his ability.
