Chapter 10: Two years in the novice village
Looking at the stake that was finally successfully split in half by himself, there was a little joy and regret in his heart.
Joyfully, he had finally completed his initial training for one-handed swords, but unfortunately...... His one-handed sword proficiency has only increased to 60 points.
Before completing the initial training, he thought that he could increase his one-handed sword proficiency to 100 just by chopping stakes.
But when he really succeeded in cutting the stakes in front of him, Wen Dan realized that no matter how many stakes he cut, it would be impossible for him to improve his one-handed sword proficiency by any point.
The wooden stake can no longer continue to temper the stable one-handed sword skill.
This is exactly what Wendang fears the most when he is broadcasting games live - the game company has set a level cap in the Newbie Village!
"Congratulations......" Just as he shook his head and sighed, intending to change his weapon to continue training, Jian Jin's voice suddenly sounded: "Congratulations, you have completed the first stage of one-handed sword practice, do you want to start the second stage of one-handed sword practice?" ”
There is also a second stage!
Wen Dang's eyes lit up in an instant, and when he turned around, he said a little impatiently: "Don't worry, wait a minute, let's start today's two-handed sword use practice first!" ”
“……”
I don't know if it's an illusion of stability, when Village Chief Jian Jin conjured up his two-handed sword this time, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly.
……
The next day, as soon as Wen Dang woke up, he directly called Jian Jin to the weapon training ground and started the second phase of one-handed sword training.
"Please use the soul iron one-handed sword in your hand to cut off this soul iron pillar within one blow, and after you succeed, you can continue to the next stage of training." Village Chief Jian Jin still maintained his standard NPC-like smile and said in a slightly encouraging tone.
At the same time, the unpretentious iron one-handed sword appeared again in the steady hand.
The position that was supposed to be a wooden stake was replaced with an iron stake of the same thickness.
After a brief observation of the sword in his hand, and then touching the iron stake in front of him, he was sure of one thing—they were made of the exact same material.
The second stage of training for one-handed swords turned out to be to cut through iron stakes made of the same material with one blow!
This...... Can it really be done?
If you hadn't gone through the first stage of training, you would have been like most people who thought it was an absolutely impossible thing to do.
But after successfully passing the first stage of training, Wen Dan knew that this kind of thing could actually be done.
As long as he can have an absolutely stable trajectory of swinging his sword, using the one-handed sword in his hand to cut the iron pillar in front of him will not consume more strength than cutting the wooden stake.
Even...... It's not much harder than cutting off a target made of plastic foam.
Because although the metal target is strong, it is not stronger than the material of the blade, at most it is only the same degree of hardness.
In the case that one side is a sharp sword blade and the other side is just a smooth arc, the two are opposed, and naturally the sword blade of the same material is stronger.
As long as the trajectory of the swing is stable enough and the blade does not deviate, it will be successful.
However, a theory is just a theory after all.
"Knock~~~~"
After a clear metal crash, the long-lost pain swept over the steady right hand again.
From the phalanges to the palms, there were waves of sour and numb heat, surging wave after wave.
For those who have never experienced this kind of pain, this one moment alone is enough to make people cry and wail.
But for Wendang, this kind of pain has long been accustomed.
Instead of crying, he laughed.
Looking at the one-handed sword that had been curled in his hand, and looking at the dents left on the soul iron pillar, he was steady, handsome and silly.
[One-handed Sword Proficiency: 61]
……
Two years later, on the weapons training ground paved with fine sand and red clay, there were constant roars, shaking the dust on the ground wave after wave, as if it were dyed water.
At the source of this loud noise that shattered the eardrums of ordinary people, a young man wearing only leather pants was wielding a huge iron hammer with both hands, hammering it towards a spherical iron block.
After more than two years of exercise, the muscles in Wendang's body have become extraordinarily condensed.
With the swing of the hammer, the sweat reflects the sunlight, and the whole person looks as if every stroke is carved.
There is a bit of a smell of tiger back bee waist mantis legs.
Airplanes!!!
Another hammer!
Sweat spilled on the ground, completely mixing the sand and soil under the boy's feet, forming a crimson area of "still water".
Airplanes!!!
Another hammer!
Sweat spilled on the iron, making the cracks in the iron more visible.
Airplanes!!!
Or a hammer!
Iron Block...... Still not smashed.
This is because, shortly after each hammer blow, the cracks, along with the sweat stains on the iron, will suddenly disappear.
This ability to constantly refresh oneself is like mocking steady incompetence.
If it were a normal person, who had been ridiculed by a metal ball for two years, I am afraid that he would have gone crazy a long time ago.
But there was no angry expression on his steady face, but a faint glow full of expectation emanated from his bright eyes.
Airplanes!!!
Bang!!!
Finally, the mockery of the metal ball turned into self-deprecation, and it was completely smashed into countless pieces with a steady hammer.
[Two Hand Hammer Proficiency: 90]
"Congratulations, you have completed the second stage of training for the two-handed hammer, you have mastered the use of the two-handed hammer, and you are qualified to become a hunter in the hunting grounds!
But if you want to become a good hunter, you also need to complete the third stage of training with a two-handed hammer.
Do you want to start the third phase of the two-handed sledgehammer training immediately? ”
As the iron ball shattered, the voice of the village chief of Jian Jin also sounded again.
But what made the atmosphere at the scene a little stiff was that Wen Dang did not make any response to the words of the village chief of Jian Jin.
It's not because Wen Dang really treats Jian Jin as an NPC who won't have any complaints even if he ignores him.
It's because the same conversation has been heard many times.
The two-handed hammer is the last weapon to pass the second stage of training.
That's right, in the past two years, Wen Dan has cultivated all the weapons in the Chenglong Village Weapon Training Ground to a proficiency level of 90 points.
At the same time, he has also made great achievements in other subjects other than weapons training.
Among them, in the most commonly used apothecary, Wendang has already possessed 100 points of proficiency, except for the legendary ancient dragon secret medicine whose formula has been lost, Wendang has mastered all the methods of making potions recorded in Chenglong Village.
