It was a feeling of blood connection. When my hand touched the blade, the entire knife and my body became one, as if it itself was a part of my body. The inseparable feeling was so strong!
My heart can't help but want to take the knife. I don't want him to be separated from me, because... he is already a part of my body. Why should I take it away? I will be in pain because of it.
Finally... my desire defeated my reason, and I tried to pick up the heavy Hundred Wars 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 It's part of my body!
Under the blank gaze of the patriarch, I gently picked up the sword in his hand. The 83 kilograms of Baizhan Sword seemed to be made of paper, and I held it in my hand without any effort. .
The patriarch's eyes were full of disbelief. 83 kilograms, that's 166 kilograms. Even as a senior warrior, it was very difficult for him to lift it, but... the child in front of him was so weak that he couldn't even sit up. I picked it up with one hand, and... it was still so easy and casual!
Not noticing the surprised gaze of the patriarch, I gently touched the sword in my hand. The sword in my hand responded to my breathing and radiated bursts of dark red light.
Satisfied, I put the sword into my arms, feeling the scorching warmth it exuded around me. The next moment... I passed out again.
A week later, I was finally able to get out of bed, but... I couldn't recover from the massive blood loss in a short time, but it didn't matter, because... my Qi was not affected at all, so... except for my physical weakness, My attack power was not affected at all.
Due to my weak body, I can't do any strenuous exercise for the time being, otherwise... I will easily faint again, so... I can only slowly draw the Qijue Slashing Technique, and carefully think about the mystery of it.
After nearly a year of training, I have become quite proficient in the Qijue Slashing Technique. Now I must put my mind to thinking about it, and I suddenly have many new insights. My experience of this set of sword techniques has become even more profound.
Practicing martial arts cannot always be practiced in actual combat. Sometimes, proper latent practice can improve martial arts. Only by calming down and concentrating on thinking can one solve many mysteries that cannot be solved on ordinary days.
What makes me feel strange is that only I can pick up my black knife. It's not that others can't pick it up, but even if they pick it up, they can't use it smoothly. It's really too heavy, but... the weight is just For others, I can't feel the slightest weight in my hands, just like you can't feel the weight of your own hands or the weight of your own head.
Holding the handle of the sword tightly, I know... This is probably one of the benefits of being overly soaked in blood. The excessive blood flowing on the newly born sword means that I have given the sword life, and... This life and my life are the same!
Although I don’t know what harm will happen due to excess blood, for now, just this benefit makes me ecstatic.
Finally... When all the dwarf children began to take the apprentice warrior examination, my body basically recovered. Although I was still weak, I was fully able to move as usual. It's just that my physical strength is very poor now, as if I was at the beginning of a serious illness. The same as the recovered patients.
When I walked out of the house, the early morning sunlight shone warmly on my face. The sunlight was not dazzling at all and gave people a warm and welcoming feeling.
Today... it is the time for all the dwarf children to take the apprentice warrior assessment, and I am also ready to take the junior warrior 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 will be able to learn how to capture the phantom beast!
Smiling slightly, I walked slowly towards the small square. I had been separated from my friends for a long time. I didn't know how they were doing recently and whether they had met the standards of trainee warriors.
Soon... I came to the small square and looked around. All the friends who were going to take the test had arrived. When they saw me coming, everyone came over affectionately and chatted with me warmly.
Since I was the first to reach the level of trainee warrior, we basically haven't seen each other much. Even if we did see each other during morning and evening exercises, there was no chance to talk because of training.
Especially in the past six months or so, I didn't even have the chance to meet him. I spent all my time outside. When I came back occasionally, I went directly to the patriarch and grandpa and didn't see them at all.
Our relationship is very good, after all... we are about the same age, share a common language, and have common ideals and ambitions. It can be said that the more we chat, the more we become more and more attracted to each other.
When we were chatting most passionately, a majestic cough came over. When we heard this sound, we immediately stood in our own positions, because we knew that this cough was made by the patriarch.
Sure enough... When we stood in line, the patriarch of the clan came over step by step. Seeing us standing in line neatly, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Okay, kids, now that everyone is here. , I see... Let’s start the test directly!”
Looking around at us, the patriarch continued: "After everyone's hard work over the past year, I believe... everyone has made considerable progress. Now... just show your skills one by one. Don't be afraid of failing. Because I can prove that all of you have tried your best, and it doesn’t matter even if you fail, as long as you continue to work hard and train yourself, you will eventually pass.”
Grandpa, the patriarch, is definitely the kind of person who works hard. He always pays attention to efficiency in everything he does. He only said these two words briefly before announcing the start of the test. In order of size, everyone went to the small square to test.
I have grown to 168 centimeters now. Although I am still the size of a child among humans, compared with these dwarves who are no more than 120 centimeters tall, I definitely stand out, so... of course I am at the end of the queue, that is. The last person to test.
But it doesn't matter, I won't be impatient. After being apart for so long, I really want to know how Yuhi's friends are progressing.
After practicing during the period of recuperation, my current Jiuyang Zhenqi has become more condensed, and I have become more proficient in the use of zhenqi. So... I am not worried at all about my exam. Yes, just enjoy the performances of your partners.
Soon... the first dwarf walked to the center of the field. After bowing slightly to the patriarch and the uncles and aunts in the village, he took out his wooden ax and began to practice the dwarf 18-axe.
While watching his performance, I kept nodding. Although there is still a certain lack of grasp and observation of details, there is no problem at all in terms of strength and movement specifications, as long as I continue to exercise. , coupled with continuous understanding and the guidance of their elders, sooner or later, they will become the best blacksmiths and the best warriors.
After practicing the ax technique, an uncle next to me brought 18 papayas. Don’t underestimate papayas. As a fruit similar to coconuts, although its pulp is very sweet, there is a thick and strong layer outside the pulp. Their shells are extremely hard. If you want to split them open with an axe, you not only need a certain amount of strength, but also a certain degree of accuracy and speed. Otherwise... if the axe cuts off, the papaya will fly away immediately.
This test is very scientific. Although the test methods on the mainland may be different from here,... this method can definitely measure whether a person has reached the level of a trainee warrior.
The first is the issue of accuracy. If you cannot cut the middle position of the papaya exactly, then you will definitely not be able to cut it open, and the papaya will slide open with the force.
The second is speed. If the speed is too slow, then the strength of the apprentice warrior will not be able to split the hard shell of the papaya. Only a very fast speed can forcefully cut the papaya in an instant.
The third thing is strength. Speed alone is not enough. If the strength is not enough, no matter how fast you are, it will be useless. You must have the perfect unity of speed and strength to cut through the hard papaya.
Finally, there is the issue of actual combat testing. When chopping papayas, each ax must use a dwarf ax method. When 18 axes are used, the dwarf ax method must be demonstrated from beginning to end. 18 axes must cut through 18 papayas. This is absolutely not allowed. There is no slightest mistake, and at the same time... the attack posture cannot be deformed in the slightest.
Just imagine... You can even use the dwarf ax technique to chop such a difficult papaya, so what do you have to worry about in actual combat? As long as you continue to train, it is only a matter of time before you become a junior warrior. Although this may be a long time, dwarves have a long life.
