Grandpa Chief was slightly stunned. He then patted his head and laughed."You see…I've forgotten that you're not from the Dwarf Race and know nothing about this world. Alright…since you want to know, I'll tell you in detail.”
After thinking for a while, Grandpa Chief said,""In this world, the ranks of warriors are divided into ten levels. They are Apprentice Warrior, Beginner Warrior, Intermediate Warrior, Advanced Warrior, Swordsman, Great Swordsman, Sword Master, Great Sword Master, Sword Saint, and War God. Starting from Swordsman, they are divided into upper, middle, and lower levels.”
After saying this, Grandpa Chief paused for a moment to give me some time to digest. After listening to Grandpa Chief's words, I finally understood what Great Swordsman and Sword Saint meant.
Seeing my understanding smile, Grandpa Chief continued,"Your current level should be a top apprentice warrior. As your strength increases, you will gradually reach the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. As for the levels above that, not everyone can reach it.”
I looked at Grandpa Chief in confusion and asked,"How are these levels divided? How do you assess a person's realm?”
Grandpa Chief was slightly taken aback before he laughed and said,""You really asked. I really don't know about this question. These levels are divided by the various guilds on the continent. They also have detailed regulations on the specific assessment methods. However…our Dwarf Race doesn't have such a set of assessments, so we can't determine a person's level at all.”
Pausing for a moment, Grandpa Chief pointed at the water buffalo on the ground and said,"" However…normally speaking, if you can kill a water buffalo by yourself, you're already a high-level warrior. It's just that…"
I looked at Grandpa Chief in confusion and asked,"But what, Grandpa Chief!"
Grandpa Chief hesitated for a moment before smiling bitterly."" But when you defeated the water buffalo, you didn't rely on pure martial strength. Half of it was intelligence, and the other half was the characteristics of the weapon. As for your own martial strength, this…this…"
After listening to Grandpa Chief's words, I couldn't help but smile. That's right…in the battle just now, I didn't use any of my own strength. Even the strength I used to break the buffalo's hide was borrowed from the buffalo's own momentum. I only moved my blade there and let the buffalo rub against me. The sharp teeth on the blade would naturally cut through the hard and thick buffalo hide. This didn't seem to have much to do with my own strength. If it was anyone else, as long as they seized the right opportunity, they could do it!
I nervously raised my head and looked at Grandpa Chief."Then…Grandpa Chief, am I considered a beginner warrior now?”
Grandpa Chief smiled bitterly and frowned. He said indifferently,"Yes! But it doesn't count. From a combat point of view, you've already reached the standard of a beginner warrior. I believe…even if you were to fight a beginner warrior, with your intelligence, your Hundred Battle Saber Technique, and your Hundred Battle Saber, you're still confident of winning!”
Pausing for a moment, Grandpa Chief continued,""But from the looks of your physical fitness and strength, you haven't reached the standard of a beginner warrior. You're still at the trainee stage! In other words... you don't have enough power to subdue the magical beast!”
Frowning slightly, I asked in confusion,"Grandpa chief, could it be……taming a mirage beast must be done with brute force? Can't you use your wisdom to subdue it?"
Grandpa Chief nodded seriously and said,""That's indeed the case. You can't subdue a magical beast with wisdom. You have to rely on powerful strength to completely subdue the magical beast. Only then can you make it willingly become your magical beast!”
Pausing for a moment, Grandpa Chief explained,""For example, that water buffalo beastman just now. If you take him in as a magical beast, there's a 100% chance that it won't succeed, because... he died very cowardly and inexplicably. He won't submit to you at all.”
With a faint smile, Grandpa Chief continued,""If you want to subdue the water buffalo, you have to fight it head-on. You have to defeat it in its best aspect and beat it until it has no temper at all. Only then can you make it completely submit. In other words, you have to fight the water buffalo head-on until it has no intention of resisting at all. Only then can you possibly take it in as a magical beast!”
I helplessly looked at Grandpa Chief. I finally understood what he meant. Normally…as long as you defeated a water buffalo, you would already be a high-level warrior. However, this victory referred to fighting a water buffalo head-on and relying on strength to defeat it.
Grandpa Chief laughed and said," If it was a human, it would be easier. As long as you become a high-level warrior and learn the Aura Slash, it would be very easy to defeat the water buffalo head-on. However, we dwarves can't do it. We can't learn the Aura Slash, so we can only rely on our strength to slash it. Even with my strength as a high-level warrior, it's very difficult for me to slash the water buffalo. Therefore... most of the people in the village take in dumb beasts as magical beasts!”
Slightly startled, I thought of those stupid beasts beside the smelting furnace. So…those little beasts were the magical beasts of the dwarf uncles, haha…how funny, that little thing, other than blowing the wind, it seems like it doesn't know anything!
But then again, just being able to blow the wind was enough. Dwarves only liked to forge. With such a good wind magical beast, they would save a lot of trouble.
Grandpa Chief continued," Usually, when we encounter a water buffalo, we will circle around it. This clumsy fellow is very inflexible when it turns around. When you turn to its back, you can attack it from behind. You can easily kill it!”
Sighing as he looked at the corpse of the water buffalo on the ground, Grandpa Chief sighed,"Actually…the magical beast of the dwarfs isn't as powerful as the legends say. Even a water buffalo isn't easy to subdue, let alone other good magical beasts. The best magical beast that the dwarfs had was the one that had reached the level of a master swordsman. His magical beast was a fire tiger.”
He shook his head helplessly. It seemed that... the magical beast was really not that easy to get. However... there was no rush now. It was better to think of a way to become a beginner warrior first.
Thinking of this, I turned around and asked Grandpa Chief,"Grandpa Chief, what level is considered a beginner warrior to be able to learn the magical beast skills of the dwarf race?”
Grandpa Chief smiled and explained,""We dwarves naturally have a set of measurement standards. First of all…you have to use a complete set of the 18 Dwarven Axes in front of the entire village. When everyone thinks that your moves and posture are correct, you can enter the next assessment!”
Grandpa Chief looked at me and continued,""I'm not worried about you in this aspect. No one will be able to find any flaws in your axe technique!”
Pausing for a moment, Grandpa Chief continued,""The second test is to use the Dwarf Axe to chop things. You have to chop down a papaya tree that is ten years old. Each axe has to chop down one papaya tree. You have to use the 18 forms of the Dwarf Axe.”
Hearing Grandpa Dwarf's words, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue in surprise. Don't think that a ten-year-old papaya tree is easy to bully. It's as thick as a bowl. Moreover, the papaya tree is hard and flexible. To chop down one with a single axe is simply impossible for the current me.
Without saying a word, I bent over and picked up the ore basket on my back. I walked towards the village with Grandpa Chief. Right now, I had no right to talk about junior martial artists. The difference between a trainee martial artist and a trainee martial artist was too big. It could be said that the strength of a junior martial artist was definitely more than twice that of a trainee martial artist.
In the evening, we returned to the Dwarf Village and handed the Vermilion Copper Ore to Uncle Tadog. We also successfully obtained the Silver Essence Ore that he promised me! Now…I have another material for my Hundred Battles Saber!
After returning to my room, I threw the Silver Essence Ore into the treasure chest and continued to forge my Hundred Battle Saber. I had to train my forging technique to perfection. I didn't want to forge my ultimate Hundred Battle Saber with my rusty hands and feet! I want to use this Hundred Battle Saber forged from refined copper to practice. When my skills are fully mature and I master the essence of forging techniques, I will start forging the real Hundred Battle Saber that I will use for the rest of my life.
As the hammer flew around, I used every single move and style of the Seven Deadly Slashes endlessly. The hammer rained down on every single part of the Hundred-battle Saber, and the forty-nine styles of the Seven Deadly Slashes landed on the Hundred-battle Saber one by one.
After forging for a few hours, I finally tidied up. After taking a shower, I returned to my bed and began my daily routine of meditation…
As the days of cultivation gradually increased, the feeling I had now became more and more intense. Now, as long as I think about it, I immediately feel my entire body burning. The scorching sun makes my entire body feel warm and indescribably comfortable. However…the feeling of qi mentioned in the Nine Yang True Scripture, I have never experienced it. Other than warmth, I have no other feeling!
