Chapter 14 The Realm of Martial Arts
The grandfather of the patriarch was slightly stunned, then patted his head and laughed: "Look... I forgot that you are not a dwarf, and I know nothing about the world. OK... Since you want to know, I will tell you in detail."
After thinking for a while, the grandfather of the clan leader spoke: "In this world, the level of warriors is divided into ten levels, namely, the eight levels of trainee warriors, junior warriors, intermediate warriors, advanced warriors, swordsmen, great swordsmen, sword masters, great swordsmen, sword saints, and war gods. From the beginning of the swordsmen, they are all divided into upper, middle and lower positions."
Speaking of this, the grandfather of the clan leader paused for a moment and gave me some time to digest. After listening to the grandfather of the clan leader, I finally understood what the great sword master and what the sword saint meant.
Seeing that I showed an understanding smile, Grandpa of the clan leader continued: "You should be a top-level trainee samurai. As your strength improves, you will gradually reach the primary samurai, intermediate samurai, and advanced samurai. As for the level that goes up, it is not something that everyone can achieve."
I looked at the grandfather of the clan leader in confusion and said in confusion: "How do you divide these levels? What do you use to test what level a person has reached!"
The grandfather of the patriarch was slightly stunned and laughed: "You really asked. I really don't know this question. These levels are divided by various trade unions on the mainland. They also have detailed regulations on the specific assessment methods. However... we don't have this set of assessments in the dwarfs, so we can't judge what a person's level is at all."
After pausing, the grandfather of the clan leader pointed at the buffalo beast on the ground and said, "But... usually, if you can kill a buffalo beast alone, you are already a high-level warrior, but..."
I looked at the grandfather of the clan leader in confusion and asked, "It's just what, grandfather of the clan leader!"
Grandpa, the clan leader, hesitated for a while, and said with a wry smile: "But when you defeated the buffalo beast, you did not rely on pure force. Wisdom accounts for half of the characteristics of the weapon. As for your own force, this... this..."
After hearing what the clan leader said, I couldn't help but smile. Yes... In the battle just now, I almost didn't use my own power. Even the power of breaking the buffalo skin was borrowed from the buffalo's own momentum. I just put the knife there and let the buffalo beast rub it up by itself. The sharp serrated teeth of the blade body will naturally saw the hard and thick buffalo skin. This seems to have nothing to do with my own strength. If anyone changes, as long as you seize the right opportunity, you can do it!
I raised my head nervously, looked at the clan leader and said, "Then... the clan leader, am I a junior warrior now?"
Grandpa of the clan leader frowned with a wry smile and said lightly: "Forget it! But not. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, you have reached the standard of a junior warrior. I believe... Even if you fight with a junior warrior, with your wisdom, your sword technique, and the sword of a hundred battles, you will still be sure to win!"
After pausing, the grandfather of the patriarch continued: "But judging from the actual physical fitness and strength, you have not reached the standard of a junior warrior and are still in the stage of practicing warriors! In other words, you do not have enough strength to conquer the phantom beast!"
He frowned slightly, and I said in confusion: "Grandpa, do you have to... conquer the illusion beast by brute force? Can't you use wisdom to conquer it?"
Grandpa of the clan leader nodded seriously and said, "It is true. Those who cannot subdue the illusion beast with wisdom must rely on powerful strength to completely subdue the illusion beast so that it can willingly become your illusion beast!"
After a pause, the grandfather of the patriarch explained: "For example, if this buffalo beast just now, if you accept him as a phantom beast, it will not be successful 100%, because... it died very cowardly and inexplicably, and will not convince you at all."
With a smile, the grandfather of the patriarch continued: "If you want to conquer the buffalo beast, you must fight head-on and defeat it without giving in any step in the aspect it is best at, and you have no temper at all. Only in this way can it completely surrender. In other words, you must fight against the buffalo and smash it hard, and you will lose the idea of resisting it, and you will be able to accept it and become a phantom beast!"
Looking at the clan leader's grandfather helplessly, I finally understand what he meant. Generally speaking... as long as you defeat the buffalo beast, you are already a high-level warrior, but this victory refers to fighting the buffalo head-on, and relying on strength to defeat it.
Grandpa, the patriarch, laughed and said, "If it is a human, it's okay to say it. As long as you become a high-level warrior and learn to fight qi slash, it's easy to defeat the buffalo beast head-on, but we don't have a dwarf, and we can't learn to fight qi, so we can only rely on our strength to chop it. With the strength of a high-level warrior, it's difficult to cut the buffalo beast to death, so... most people in the village are more than stupid beasts and phantom beasts!"
I was slightly stunned and remembered the stupid beasts next to the smelting furnace. It turned out that... those little beasts are all the fantasy beasts of the dwarf uncles, haha... it's so funny. That little thing seems to be able to do anything except blowing the wind!
But then again, it is enough to blow the wind just by doing it. Dwarves only like to forge it. With such a good blowing magic beast, they save much trouble.
Grandpa, the patriarch, continued: "Usually, when we encounter a buffalo beast, we will surround it. This clumsy guy is very inflexible in rotation. When you turn behind it, just attack it from behind, and you can easily kill it!"
He looked at the corpse of the buffalo beast on the ground with sighs, and the grandfather of the clan leader sighed: "Actually... the illusion beast of the dwarf tribe is not as powerful as the legend. Even such a buffalo beast is not easy to subdue, let alone other good illusion beasts. The best illusion beast owned by the dwarf ancestor is the dwarf ancestor who has reached the great sword master. His illusion beast is a fire tiger. It is precisely because of this fire tiger that he became the first and only great sword master of the dwarf tribe!"
He shook his head helplessly. It seemed... the phantom beast is really not that easy to do, but... I can't even hurry now, so I'd better find a way to reach the junior warrior first.
Thinking of this, I turned around and asked the grandfather of the clan leader, "Grandpa, what level can I be considered a junior warrior and learn the dwarf's fantasy beast skills?"
Grandpa, the patriarch, smiled slightly and explained: "We dwarves naturally have a set of measurement standards. First of all... we must use a set of dwarves 18 axes in front of the whole village. Only when everyone thinks that your routine and posture are correct can we proceed to the next step of assessment!"
After looking at me with a slight look, the grandfather of the patriarch continued, "I am not worried about you in this regard. There is definitely no one who can pick out any problems with your current axe technique!"
After pausing, the grandfather of the patriarch continued: "The second assessment item is to chop things with a dwarf axe. You have to cut down papaya trees that are ten years old, one axe, and each axe is used to perform the 18th style of the dwarf battle axe. Each axe has to cut off a papaya tree. If you meet this standard, then you are a junior warrior!"
After hearing the words of Grandpa Dwarf, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue in surprise. Don't think that the papaya tree that is ten years old is easy to bully. It's the size of a bowl. Moreover, the papaya tree is hard and flexible. If you want to cut off one with an axe, it is simply impossible to complete the task now.
Without saying a word, I bent down and carried the ore basket on the ground, and walked towards the village with the grandfather of the clan leader. Now I am not qualified to talk about the junior warriors. The difference between the trainee samurai and the trainee samurai is too big. It can be said that the strength of the junior warriors is definitely more than twice that of the trainee samurai.
In the evening, we returned to the dwarf village, handed the Zhu Tong Mine to Uncle Nadorge, and successfully got the silver marrow mine he promised me! Now... there is another material for my Bai Zhan Treasure!
Back in the room, I put the silver marrow ore into the treasure box, and then began to continue forging my Hundred Battles Sword. I had to train the skills of forging Hundred Battles Swords to perfection. I don’t want to use my unfamiliar hands and feet to create my ultimate true Hundred Battles Sword! I have to practice with the current Hundred Battles Sword made of exquisite copper. When my skills are fully mature and I have mastered the essence of the forging skills, I will start forging the real Hundred Battles Swords that I will use for my lifetime.
As the hammer flew, I used every move and every move of the Seven Secret Slash continuously. The hammer landed on every part of the Hundred Battles Knife like raindrops, and the Seven Secret Slash Skills fell on the Hundred Battles Knife one by one.
It took me several hours to build it up before I cleaned up, after taking a shower, I returned to bed and started the daily compulsory meditation...
As my practice gradually increases, my feelings are getting stronger and stronger. Now, as soon as I think about it, I feel hot all over my body. The hot sun makes me feel warm all over my body, and I can’t say it’s comfortable. However, I have never felt anything other than warmth!
