It was a feeling of blood connection. When my hand touched the blade, the whole knife and my body were connected together, as if it was part of my body, and the inseparable feeling was as strong as it was!

I couldn't help but want to take the knife over. I didn't want him to separate from me, because... he was a part of my body, so why did I take it away? I would feel pain because of it.

Finally... my hope defeated my reason, and I tried to pick up the heavy sword with my weak body, but I didn't feel that way. I felt in my heart that I could pick it up easily because... it is part of my body!

Under the dazed gaze of the patriarch's grandfather, I gently picked up the treasure knife in his hand. The 83 kilograms of Bai Zhan Knife was actually like a piece of paper, and I held it in my hand without any effort.

The grandfather's eyes were full of incredible glory. 83 kilograms, that was 166 kilograms. Even as a high-level warrior, it was difficult to pick it up. However... the weak child in front of him who couldn't even sit up, picked it up with only one hand, and... it was still so relaxed and so casual!

I didn't notice the surprised gaze of the patriarch's grandfather. I gently stroked the sword in my hand. The sword in my hand responded to my breathing, radiating dark red light one after another.

I hugged the sword in my arms with satisfaction, feeling the scorching temperature he emitted beside me, and the next moment... I fell into a coma again.

A week later, I was finally able to walk out of bed, but... a lot of blood loss could not be recovered in a short time, but it doesn't matter, because... my true energy was not affected at all, so... except for my physical weakness, my attack power was not affected at all.

Because I am weak, I cannot do large-scale exercises for the time being, otherwise... I will easily faint again, so... I can only slowly draw the Seven-Miscellaneous Slashing Technique and carefully think about the mystery.

After nearly a year of training, I have become quite proficient in the Seven-Secret Slashing Technique. Now I must think hard and suddenly have many new insights. My experience of this set of swordsmanship has become more profound.

When practicing qigong, you cannot always practice it in actual combat. Sometimes, appropriate impulse cultivation can improve martial arts. Only by calming down and concentrating on thinking can you unlock many mystery that you cannot solve on weekdays.

What makes me strange is that I can only pick up my black knife. It’s not that others can’t pick up it, but even if I pick it up, I don’t want to use it smoothly. It’s really too heavy, but... this weight is only for others. In my hands, I can’t feel the slightest weight of it, just like you can’t feel how heavy your hands are and how heavy your head is.

Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, I know... this is probably one of the benefits of over-infiltrating my blood. Too much blood flows on the newly born treasure sword, I have given the sword life, and... this life and my life are in common!

Although I don’t know what the harm will be caused by excessive blood, for now, just one benefit has made me ecstatic.

Finally... when all the dwarf children started to conduct the samurai examination, my body basically recovered. Although I was still weak, I could move as usual. However, I am very physically weak now, just like a patient who has just recovered from a serious illness.

When I walked out of the house, the sunshine in the morning shone warmly on my face. The sunshine was not dazzling at all, giving people a warm and gentle feeling.

Today... it is time for all the dwarf children to train for samurai assessment, and I am also ready to conduct the junior samurai assessment. If possible, I will also pass the intermediate assessment.

I squeezed the sword in my hand tightly, and I was secretly excited because... after today, I can learn how to capture the phantom beast!

With a smile, I walked slowly towards the small square and had been separated from my friends for a long time. I don’t know what their situation has been recently and whether they have met the standards of trainee samurai.

Soon... I came to the small square and looked around. All the friends who were about to take the test had arrived. When they saw me, everyone came over intimately and chatted with me warmly.

Since I was the first to reach the level of a samurai practitioner, we have basically never met much. Even when we met in morning exercises and evening exercises, we have no chance to speak due to training.

Especially in the past six months, I have not even had a chance to meet and spent the whole thing outside. When I occasionally come back, I just look for the grandfather of the clan leader and never see them.

Our relationship is very good, after all... we are about the same age, have a common language, and have common ideals and ambitions. It is really the more we talk, the more we become more and more speculative.

Just as we were talking the most, a majestic cough came over. When we heard this sound, we immediately stood at our own position, because we knew that this cough was made by the grandfather of the clan leader.

Sure enough... When we stood in the team, the grandfather of the patriarch came over step by step. Seeing that we were standing in a neat manner, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Okay, kids, since you are all here, I'll see... the test will start directly!"

Looking around us, Grandpa of the patriarch continued: "After everyone's efforts over the past year, I believe... everyone has made considerable progress. Now... you can show your skills one by one, don't be afraid of not being able to pass, because I can prove that all of you have done your best. Even if you can't pass, it doesn't matter. As long as you continue to work hard to train yourself, you will pass it in the end."

Grandpa, the clan leader, is definitely a kind of hard-working person. He pays attention to efficiency in everything he does. After saying this briefly, he announced the start of the test and went to the small square one by one in order of size.

I have grown to 168 cm now. Although I am still a child among humans, compared with these dwarves with a height of no more than 120 cm, I am definitely the only one who stands out in the last line, which is the last person to conduct the test.

But it doesn't matter, I won't be impatient. After being separated for so long, I really want to know how Xiri's partners are making progress.

After practicing during the period of recuperation, my Jiuyang Zhenqi has become more condensed, and I am more proficient in using true qi and more skillful, so... I am not worried about my exam at all, just enjoy my friends' performances well.

Soon... the first dwarf walked to the center of the venue, bowed slightly to the patriarch's grandfather and the uncles and aunts in the village, took out his own wooden axe, and began to practice the dwarf 18 axes.

While watching his performance, I kept nodding. Although I still lacked in grasping and observing details, there was no problem in terms of strength or movement norms. As long as I continued to exercise, coupled with continuous understanding and guidance from my elders, sooner or later, they would become the best blacksmith and the best warriors.

After practicing the axe technique, an uncle next to him brought 18 papayas. Don’t underestimate the papaya. As a fruit similar to coconut, its flesh is very sweet, but outside the flesh, it is a thick, strong and hard shell. To split them with an axe, it not only requires a certain amount of strength, but also a certain degree of accuracy and speed. Otherwise... if you cut the axe, the papaya will fly away immediately.

This test is very scientific. Although the test method on the mainland may be different from here,... this method can definitely measure whether a person has reached the level of a trainee samurai.

First of all, it is a question of accuracy. If you cannot cut the middle position of the papaya, you will definitely not be able to cut it open, and the papaya will slide away with the strength.

The second is the speed. If the speed is too slow, then the strength of the trainee warrior cannot split the hard shell of the papaya at all. Only at a very fast speed can one forcefully cut the papaya by relying on its strength in an instant.

Again, it is power. It is impossible to have speed alone. If you don’t have enough power, it will be useless even if you are fast. It must be a perfect unity of speed and power to cut the hard papaya.

Finally, there is a practical test problem. When chopping papaya, each axe must be used to use a dwarf axe technique. When 18 axes are taken down, the dwarf axe technique must be displayed from beginning to end. If 18 axes have to cut 18 papayas, there must be no mistakes. At the same time... the attack posture cannot be deformed at all.

Just imagine... Even if you can use the dwarf axe technique without any mistake when cutting such a difficult papaya, then what else should you worry about in actual combat? As long as you continue to exercise and become a junior warrior, it is only a matter of time. Although this time may be a bit long, the dwarf has a long life.

(Haha, keep throwing the tickets!…
