<h4>Chapter 120 Chapter 120 – Collecting</h4>


    For the next couple of minutes, the two of them jumped from building to building.


    Eventually, Man stopped, and Nick looked at the ce in front of him.


    Ruins.


    They were standing on the highest building around, which was four stories high. In front of them were half-destroyed andpletely destroyed houses for nearly fifty meters.


    Even more, many of the tes and grates werepletely ruined, exposing the sewers.


    In a way, this area looked like an ancient ruin in the middle of a swamp, except that the swamp itself was made of even more disgusting water.


    "Can you tell what destroyed all of these buildings?" Man asked.


    Nick looked around.


    After a while, he noticed that there were many round holes in the destroyed buildings.


    "Something round and strong," Nick said.


    Man grabbed one of Nick''s spears and threw it.


    SHING!


    Nick''s eyes shot open in shock as he saw his spear perfectly passing through one of the holes!


    "This was my training ground," Man said. "This is the only ce in the Outer City where I can practice throwing my spears."


    Nick looked at the destroyed buildings and the houses.


    Man must have thrown countless spears.


    "Get your spear. You need to get familiar with this ce anyway," she said.


    Nick took a deep breath and nodded.


    "Hold up," Man said, holding out Nick''s other spears. "Don''t forget your other spears."


    Nick took another deep breath.


    "Of course," he said, putting them on his back.


    Immediately, Nick felt extremely heavy again.


    As he looked at the destroyed building in the distance again, he felt like it was now much further away.


    Even more, Nick was on top of a four-story building while the spear had shot through a hole in one of the small houses.


    On top of that, the grates on the streets would never be able to hold Nick''s weight and the weight of the spears.


    This meant Nick needed to jump from building to building while also carrying his spears.


    It was essentially impossible.


    However, Nick remembered what he had learned in the previous lesson and what Man had said.


    Throwing spears were not only weapons.


    Eventually, Nick created a route in his mind.


    First, he climbed down the building by dropping three of his spears.


    By dropping them, Nick could easily control in which way they would reach the ground, and all three spears stabbed into the roof of the smaller building beside this one.


    Then, Nick jumped down the building and stabbed thest spear into the wall.


    Since Nick didn''t weigh a lot without his spears, the wall managed to withstand his weight.


    After that, Nick pulled the spear out and dropped onto the roof.


    With his physique, he could withstand such a drop.


    A momentter, Nick put the spear with the others and left to get his lost spear.


    Man had never said that Nick couldn''t put his spears to the side.


    Without his spears, it was easy to jump from building to building.


    About a minuteter, Nick entered the destroyed building and found his spear stabbed into the ground.


    Returning also wasn''t difficult, but the climb to the top of the tall building wasn''t easy.


    Nick used the same method he used during the first lesson, but due to the greater size of the building, Nick needed to jump much more.


    But eventually, he did it and arrived at the top with all of his spears.


    Man wordlessly walked over to Nick and took one spear.


    SHING!


    And threw it through the same hole.


    "Nice going, smartass. Now, do the same, but take your spears with you," she said.


    Nick took a very deep breath to calm down.


    "Of course," he said.


    "I don''t want to see you drop your spears," Man said. "If your spears are leaving your person, it better be to act as a foothold or something simr."


    As Nick looked at the route he needed to take, he became worried.


    With the added weight, that route was now impossible to take.


    There were too many big jumps.


    This time, it took Nick almost five minutes toe up with a new route, and the route was long.


    The spear was barely 40 meters away from Nick, but he would need to traverse over 200 meters to get to it.


    Climbing down the tall building was the first problem.


    With so many spears on him, the wall couldn''t possibly resist Nick''s weight if he held onto a single spear.


    However, Nick came up with a solution.


    He jumped down and immediately stabbed one of his spears into the building.


    But before he fully stopped, he let go of the spear and continued falling.


    And stabbed in the second spear.


    Eventually, Nick had put all four spears into the wall.


    Since Nick no longer had a spear on his back, he could climb up to the highest one, retrieve it, and fall to the second.


    The second could withstand thebined weight of Nick and one spear, but the third one quickly broke off the wall when Nick dropped onto it with two spears.


    Luckily, the spear still managed to slow his fall, and eventually, Nick broke through all the spears andnded on the ground.


    His bones and muscles hurt, but he could still move.


    Then, the arduous journey began.


    Nick used his spears to close the gap between buildings while also having to retrieve them.


    He needed to bnce on them.


    He even used them to break down a wall.


    It took Nick over 40 minutes to get to his original spear and retrieve it.


    Then, the long journey back began.


    The way back was even more difficult with an additional spear, and it took Nick another 30 minutes.


    Finally, Nick arrived on top of the building.


    Man grabbed one of the spears and threw it through a different hole in a different building.


    "Next one."


    Nick took a deep breath.


    He had expected that he would learn how to throw spears.


    Instead, Man was the one throwing, and he was the one collecting them.
