Chapter 6: Dwarf Axe Technique

  Just as I was about to sit on the bed and start meditating, suddenly... there was a knock at the door. Who could it be? Its not usual for anyone to come looking for me!

  With a puzzled expression, I opened the door to find Village Elder standing at the entrance with a kind face, looking at me with concern and saying in a warm tone: "Ive noticed that your training has been a bit off these past few days, is there something wrong?"

  Hurriedly ushering the tribal elder into the house, I poured him a cup of clear water and sat respectfully opposite him. Towards this elderly man of over 300 years old, my heart was filled with reverence!

  After some deliberation, I gritted my teeth and spoke up: "Elder of the clan, Ive always felt that... the dwarves battle-axe techniques are too crude, so... Ive been thinking about how to improve them! So..."

  The clan elders expression was one of sudden realization, and after a while... he said lightly: "So thats how it is. No wonder your movements have been so strange these past few days. However... you should know that our dwarven axe techniques incorporate the skills of smithing, and the dwarven axe technique is at the same time a smithing hammer technique. If you dont practice the dwarven axe technique, how will you learn smithing in the future?"

  Ah!

  I was stunned, my mouth wide open. So... there were such secrets in the dwarves axe techniques! No wonder I thought their axe techniques were just linking everyday movements together. Now that the clan elder said it, isnt it true? These attacking skills are exactly the same as the hammering techniques used when forging, only replacing the hammers with axes!

  "Our dwarven clan became the greatest blacksmiths on the continent because of our unique forging techniques, which are the result of tens of thousands of years of accumulation and improvement by our ancestors, a crystallization of their wisdom!"

  Proudly taking a deep breath, the elder said with pride: "Im not boasting, but the dwarves forging skills have absolutely reached the pinnacle of perfection. No matter what shape we want to hammer metal into, our hammers can accomplish it through the dwarven hammering technique, because... by today, the dwarven hammering technique has become all-powerful!"

  I looked at the patriarch with reverence, after tens of thousands of years of continuous research and exploration by hundreds of billions of dwarves, todays dwarf forging skills were finally achieved. The dwarves reached their peak, with a total population of over 1.2 billion. Unfortunately, they didnt like war, nor did they like fighting, so they gradually declined and were eventually buried in the dust of history!

  I am a prodigy, I am a genius... but over the course of tens of thousands of years, among the hundreds of billions of dwarf ancestors, there must have been at least thousands of geniuses and prodigies who were even more intelligent than me. So... I dont think I can make any improvements to the dwarves craftsmanship!

  Lets talk about the world I came from, although metallurgy technology is very advanced, but... if we only talk about manual forging techniques, its fundamentally different, and cant be compared to here. After all... human civilization has only been around for 5,000 years, while dwarf civilization started after the Creation War, and now has a history of over 98,000 years, and the innate talent given by the Creation God to dwarves is precisely forging!

  In the field of forging, no one can compare to the dwarves. The greatest masters from outside are not even half as good as the worst blacksmith here, and compared to the greatest master here, they are like fireflies in the moonlight, differing by a factor of ten or a hundred!

  The clan elder continued proudly: "After tens of thousands of years of continuous exploration, our dwarves have mastered 18 forging techniques, which are also the 18 attacking moves of the dwarven battle axe. As long as you practice and master the dwarven battle axe, your forging skills will also be acquired at the same time!"

  Excitedly standing up, I lit up my eyes with excitement and said confidently: "Ancestor grandfather, I understand... Please rest assured, I will study the dwarf axe method well, I guarantee that there will be no more mistakes! Learn the dwarf axe method thoroughly without any difference!"

  The clan elder stroked his white beard, smiling and said: "Good! Good! Good...... Since you say so, Im also at ease. In the future, if theres anything on your mind, remember to come talk to Grandpa directly, dont think wildly by yourself, after all... Grandpa has seen more than you!"

  I hastily nodded and sincerely said: "Thank you, Chief Grandfather. Dont worry... from now on, Little Mo knows what to do..."

  The clan elder nodded in satisfaction, his expression changing to one of concern as he looked at me and said: "By the way, Little Mo... these past few days your physical condition doesnt seem too good, youre always listless and lacking energy. Is something wrong? Do you want me to gather some herbs and brew a medicine for you to drink?"

  I looked at the patriarch with a grateful gaze, and gently opened my hard leather armor, revealing a tight-fitting iron sand vest. I said apologetically: "Patriarch, my movements are slow because Im wearing an iron sand vest and iron sand guards on my legs and elbows. Its not that my body is uncomfortable, I believe... Ill get used to it soon, you dont have to worry about me!"

  The clan leaders grandfather slightly shook, pulled down my iron sand vest, weighed it with his hand, and then showed a surprised expression. He looked at me with a shocked face and said: "Heavens! Its so heavy! Youre so small, how can you bear this?! Kid... Dont rush into martial arts practice, or youll get sick!"

  My face slightly red, I said embarrassedly: "Actually, its nothing, Patriarch Grandfather, I just want to increase my physical strength as soon as possible, dont worry... once my body shows unbearable symptoms, I will stop immediately!"

  The clan elder nodded slightly and slowly stood up, saying: "Alright... since you insist, I wont say anything else. But remember, if your body cant take it, stop immediately. If you exhaust yourself, thats a big deal for the rest of your life!"

  Moved, he nodded and accompanied the tribal elder out of the door, seeing him off for a long distance before stopping at the elders persuasion. Hesitating for a moment, the tribal elder said meaningfully: "Since you are so diligent in learning and like to study hard, then... if you have any doubts or want to know something, you can come find me anytime!"

  After finishing speaking, the old patriarch didnt even wait for me to respond and slowly turned around to leave. Watching the old patriarchs gradually disappearing figure, I couldnt help but clench my fists tightly, not just for myself, but also for the old patriarchs concern and care for me, I must intensify my training!

  Back in my small room, I quickly climbed onto the bed and began to practice the Nine Suns Divine Art with a focused mind. Although it didnt help much with strength, however... it had an amazing effect on recovering my physical body. Only by relying on meditation could I recover from the exhaustion of such intense training!

  The next day when the sun rose, I had fully recovered all my physical strength and... from a state perspective, there was a slight improvement compared to yesterday!

  Although I have only practiced the Nine Suns Divine Skill for two days, however...I can clearly feel that every time I sit in meditation, I will make some progress, although the extent of the progress is very small and if you dont pay close attention to it, you wont even notice it. However, theres no doubt that I am indeed making progress, a progress that can be felt!

  If I keep making progress like this, what kind of height will I reach? I really want to know the answer...

  Wearing the full set of iron sand equipment, I made up my mind that in the next year, I will wholeheartedly devote myself to practicing dwarf axe skills, striving to learn this set of dwarf axe skills that has been continuously improved over tens of thousands of years, which is also the forging technique of the dwarf tribe!

  With the iron-wood axe in hand, I feel its weight is much lighter than two days ago. Although its still far from swinging freely, I believe...it wont take long before I possess that kind of strength!

  This time, I concentrated on learning all the key points from my elder brothers teachings, carefully observing every move he made, trying to learn every subtle movement, because I knew... Dont look down on these small movements, but they might be the crystallization of accumulated skills honed over time!

  As a genius, I deeply understand that the real key often lies in the inconspicuous subtleties. If you cant accurately grasp every subtle detail, then you will never become a true master, no matter what field or subject it is!

  On the other hand, the clan leaders mind was shaken, yesterday... this kid was still awkward in every move, but today... he was simply a god! Every single move of his own, he had learned with great precision and care, even the most subtle and intricate parts of this axe technique, he had observed very carefully and mastered perfectly.

  Copy! Duplicate!

  Only such words can describe his learning ability, not simply imitating, but deeply copying to the deepest and most subtle places, grasping the essence of Dwarf Axe Method!

  Starting from today, I will update at 12 noon and 8 pm sharp every day. I hope you all can come and support Lao Yun more often. Those who should vote, please vote, and those who should collect, please collect. Your support is the greatest motivation for Lao Yun!
