When I finally forged my treasured sword, the tribal elder grandfather gave me another task, which was to go out and mine for specific ores. As for what kind of ore to mine, I had to go ask each of the dwarf blacksmiths, and if I mined enough, they would give me their precious ores that they had been hoarding!

  After bidding farewell to the tribal elder, I started going around to each of the blacksmith uncles to ask about the ore they needed. Finally... at Uncle Tadogs place, I found out that he needed 100 kilograms of malachite ore, and if I could help him get it within a day, he would give me the silver ore that he had treasured for over a hundred years.

  Silver Ore! Just by the name, I know its another rare mineral... Great! After accepting the task, I rushed out of Tower Doge Uncles house immediately. I only have one day, so I must speed up!

  First, I went to the patriarchs grandfather, his experience is the most abundant, should know where there may be copper mines, and indeed... The patriarchs grandfather told me that after leaving the village, he walked north all the way, at a small pond edge, there was the copper mine I wanted!

  I rushed out of the village entrance, and this time, the guardian brother at the entrance didnt stop me, because I had already obtained the permission of the tribal elder grandfather, and could leave freely!

  Through the melon field, I came to the prairie. I ignored those wandering horned beasts, they were not my target now. What I wanted to find was the pond in the middle of the prairie as soon as possible.

  Having confirmed the direction, I sprinted all the way and finally... at noon, found that pool with a diameter of several hundred meters. However, what made it difficult for me was that probably because its now noon, there were many magical beasts drinking water by the pool, among which many were ones I didnt recognize or had never seen before.

  Hiding in the bushes, I hesitated for a moment, what should I do? Should I bravely rush down or stay here for a while and wait for the monster to finish drinking water and leave before going down?

  The tempting copper ore is just by the pool, everywhere, but... although its very close, I dont dare to go out and get it, what should I do?!

  Finally... I decided to be cautious and patiently waited in the bushes, finally... most of the demons left the pond after drinking water, but... there were a few demons that not only didnt leave after drinking water, but instead fell asleep on their backs.

  Looked at the sky, its already afternoon, if I wait any longer, I wont make it back in time, what to do! Should I continue waiting or rush out now?

  Finally... I gritted my teeth, made up my mind and rushed out. Who knows if those magical beasts will always stay by the water? If so, then I wont have to mine forever!

  Boldly wielding my pickaxe, I walked out, ignoring the monster sleeping soundly by the waters edge. I started digging diligently and in just a short while, I had dug up about 100 kilograms of cinnabar ore. However... to be on the safe side, I dug some more.

  It was the few extra digs that caused trouble, a magical beast not far from me opened its eyes impatiently, blood-red eyes staring at me dead-on, and in the next moment... it slowly got up, with an aggressive posture aimed directly at me.

  Hearing the sound beside me, I turned my head back in shock, oh heaven... a huge demonic beast like a water buffalo was staring at me with blood-red eyes, constantly snorting air from its nose, and pawing the ground with its hooves, looking as if it would charge over at any moment!

  He quickly threw away the pickaxe, pulled out the precious sword from behind his back, and turned around nervously to face this enormous creature. Oh God... how did it wake up! It seems like its going to be hostile towards me!

  With both hands grasping the long hilt of my trusty sword, I carefully observed my opponents movements. The next moment... a demonic beast resembling a water buffalo suddenly charged at me with incredible force, its four hooves flying as it pounced on me like a small mountain.

  I dont dare to try and resist it head-on, maybe the clan elder can when he arrives, but thats definitely not something I can do right now, so reluctantly... Ill just have to continue using the method of exhausting it to death.

  With both hands raised high, he held the Bai Zhan Dao above his head, assuming a standard upper stance posture, quietly waiting for the Water Buffalo Beasts approach!

  Closer! Even closer...... The water buffalo is now very close to me, I can even see his eyelashes, but I dare not move at all.

  I know... I only have one chance to move, and if Im too early or too late, it wont work. If I move a little too soon, the other side will see through me and change direction, so even if I dodge, Ill still get hit and die. And if I move a little too late, I wont be able to dodge at all, and Ill still end up dead!

  The tribal leader, hiding behind the big rock, stood up anxiously. He suspected that this little guy was scared silly and didnt even know how to hide. As everyone knows, when dealing with a giant water buffalo beast with a clumsy body and slow movements, you must lead it in circles until you get behind its back and attack its spine to easily kill it. Confronting the enemy head-on like this is really too dangerous for a newcomer!

  Its not just newcomers, even if youre already a novice warrior, you may not dare to confront the water buffalo head-on. The water buffalo is too large and its impact force is too strong. Even the tribe leader himself doesnt dare to collide with the water buffalo head-on. In this world, probably only beastmen can knock down the water buffalo with brute force.

  Just as the tribal leader was about to throw out the flying axe in his hand to save this little boys life, suddenly... he saw a flash of sharpness in the boys eyes, and instantly... the tribal leader put down the axe in his hand, because he knew that this little boy not only didnt get scared silly, but also was calmly analyzing the situation between both sides, and had already thought out a plan to defeat the enemy! That flash just now was the gaze of confidence!

  Finally... The water buffalo entered the position I expected, with its hind legs on the ground and its front legs raised, charging towards me while I also moved...

  Taking a big step forward quickly to the right front of the Water Buffalo Beast, the Hundred Wars Treasure Knife slantingly chopped out, in an instant... I and the Water Buffalo Beast brushed past each other...

  The water buffalo beast charged out a few steps, standing there stupidly, not moving at all. At the same time we brushed past each other, the Hundred Battles knife in my hand had already been tightly chopped onto its hard skin. Although it didnt chop through its thick skin, because of its rapid charging speed... The sharp serrations on the Hundred Battles knife quickly sawed open its tough outer skin. Suddenly... all the internal organs inside the water buffalo beasts belly fell out from the huge gash, and this water buffalo beast naturally couldnt move anymore.

  Rumble!

  In the midst of a dull thud, the massive water buffalo beast crashed to the ground. With satisfaction, I sheathed my treasured sword on my back. The previous strike was very satisfying for me - whether it was timing, speed, angle, or the moment I swung my sword, I grasped every detail with precision, almost to the extreme.

  The last blow was the highest level I have reached so far, using my knowledge, my spirit, using the Hundred Battle Sword Technique, using everything I have mastered, successfully killing such a huge water buffalo beast in one blow.

  Suddenly... the footsteps coming from beside me, I turned my head in surprise to see that it was actually the tribes elder grandfather who had walked out with a surprised expression. After a brief moment of confusion, I understood. It turned out that the tribes elder grandfather still didnt feel at ease with me coming alone and had been secretly protecting me all along. Ah... dwarves are really too kind!

  The clan elder walked up to me with a surprised look on his face, looked at the Water Buffalo Beast lying on the ground, then looked at me and asked in confusion: "Whats going on? How did you do it?"

  Although the tribal elder grandfather said it was unclear, but my genius mind quickly analyzed what he wanted to ask, and then explained the whole process.

  After listening to my explanation, the elder grandfather pondered for half a day, finally letting out a long and contented sigh, patting my shoulder with a pleased expression: "Good kid! Youre truly a genius, I believe... you will definitely become an extraordinary warrior in the future, perhaps... youll have the chance to become the first dwarf tribes Sword Saint!"

  Sword Saint?

  I looked at the patriarch in confusion, not understanding what he was saying. What did it mean to become the first Sword Saint of the Dwarf Tribe?

  Seeing my puzzled expression, the clan elder grandfather showed a reminiscent expression and said faintly: "Up to now, the highest achievement in martial arts among our dwarf tribe is that of Todes. His cultivation has reached the level of a great sword master, which is the highest martial arts realm ever achieved by dwarves!"

  Shaking his head and sighing, the clans elder grandfather said gloomily: "Because our dwarf tribe cant learn to cultivate Qi, its... very difficult to reach the level of a Great Sword Master. In tens of thousands of years, there has only been one person who reached the level of a Great Sword Master, but no one has ever reached an even higher level!"

  I looked at the clan elder with a confused expression and asked, "Clan Elder! What is a Great Sword Master and what is a Sword Saint? I dont understand it at all!"

  There is a hope, an interpretation!

  I hope everyone has any opinions, dont mention them here. Its not that I, Old Cloud, dont accept opinions, its just that mentioning them here will greatly affect new readers first impression of the book. No matter how good your opinion is, I can only painfully delete it. Friends with opinions and suggestions, please go to my exclusive forum to express them. As long as they are substantial, I will add them to the collection. You should know... Old Clouds energy is limitless!

  The explanation is about the Hundred Battle Knife. Everyone will understand as they read on. The Hundred Battle Knife is not equal to a Japanese samurai sword, and Lao Yun has never added the word "Japanese" in front of the word "samurai sword". This is because... ancient Chinese warriors also used knives with similar shapes, which I am referring to. The Japanese samurai sword was actually an improved product based on Chinas warrior knife. Lao Yun is not learning from Japan, but rather from our ancestors. All the characteristics possessed by the Hundred Battle Knife are absolutely non-existent in Japan, without any connection whatsoever. However... that will be understood once everyone sees the true Hundred Battle Knife appear. I will absolutely not let the main character carry a Japanese product around.

  Finally, Lao Yun still wants to call on all Chinese people to unite and boycott Japanese goods.
