It was a feeling of being connected by blood. When my hand touched the blade, the entire blade and my body became one. It was as if it was a part of my body. The feeling of being inseparable was so strong!
I couldn't help but want to take the knife. I didn't want him to be separated from me because…he was a part of my body. Why did I have to take it away? I would feel pain because of it.
Finally…my desire overcame my rationality. I actually tried to pick up the heavy Hundred-battle Saber with my weak body. However, I didn't feel that way. I felt that I could easily pick it up because…it was a part of my body!
Under Grandpa Chief's stunned gaze, I gently picked up the treasured saber in his hand. The 83-kilogram Hundred-battle Saber was actually like a piece of paper. I held it in my hand without wasting any energy.
Grandpa Chief's eyes were filled with disbelief. 83 kilograms, that was 166 kilograms. Even a high-level warrior like him would find it difficult to lift it, but... this child in front of him who was so weak that he couldn't even sit up could lift it with only one hand. Moreover... it was so easy and casual!
I didn't notice Grandpa Chief's surprised gaze. I gently stroked the treasured saber in my hand. The treasured saber in my hand responded to my breathing and emitted bursts of dark red light.
Satisfied, I hugged the treasured saber in my arms and felt its scorching heat beside me. In the next moment…I fainted again.
A week later, I was finally able to get out of bed. However…I couldn't recover from the massive blood loss in a short period of time. However, it didn't matter because…my true qi wasn't affected at all. Therefore…other than my body being a little weaker, my attack power wasn't affected at all.
Because my body is weak, I can't do any physical exercises for the time being. Otherwise…I'll easily faint again. So…I can only slowly draw the Seven Ultimate Slashes and carefully think about the mysteries within.
After nearly a year of training, my Seven Ultimate Slaying Skill is already quite familiar. Now that I've calmed down and thought about it, I've suddenly gained many new insights. My understanding of this saber technique has become even deeper.
Practicing martial arts could not always be practiced in actual combat. Sometimes, appropriate seclusion was the only way to improve martial arts. Only by calming down and concentrating on thinking could one solve many mysteries that could not be solved in normal times.
What made me feel strange was that I was the only one who could lift my black blade. It wasn't that others couldn't lift it, but even if they did, they wouldn't be able to use it smoothly. It was really too heavy, but…this weight was only for others. In my hand, I couldn't feel the slightest weight, just like how you couldn't feel how heavy your hand or your head was.
I tightly gripped the hilt of the treasured saber. I knew…that this was probably one of the benefits of my blood being excessively soaked. The excessive blood on the treasured saber that had just been born was equivalent to me bestowing life on the treasured saber. Moreover…this life was connected to my life!
Although I didn't know what kind of disadvantages there would be due to having too much blood, just this one benefit was enough to make me ecstatic.
Finally…when all the Dwarf children began to take the Apprentice Warrior test, my body had basically recovered. Although I was still weak, I could move as usual. It was just that my physical strength was very weak, like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness.
Walking out of the room, the warm morning sunlight shone on my face. The sunlight was not dazzling at all, giving me a warm and genial feeling.
Today…was the day for all the Dwarf children to take the Apprentice Warrior test. I had also made preparations to take the Elementary Warrior test. If possible, I would also pass the Intermediate test.
I tightly gripped the treasured saber in my hand. I was secretly excited because…after today, I would be able to learn how to capture mirage beasts!
I smiled and slowly walked towards the small square. I had been separated from my companions for a long time. I didn't know how they were doing recently and whether they had reached the standard of a trainee warrior.
Very soon…I arrived at the small plaza. Looking around, all my companions who were going to take part in the test had already arrived. When they saw me, they all came over affectionately and chatted with me warmly.
Ever since I became an apprentice warrior, we basically didn't meet much. Even if we met during morning and evening training, we didn't have the chance to talk because of training.
Especially in the past six months, I didn't even have the chance to meet them. I spent my entire time outside. When I occasionally returned, I would directly look for Grandpa Chief and didn't see them at all.
Our relationship is very good. After all…we are about the same age, have the same language, and have the same ideals and aspirations. It can be said that the more we talk, the more congenial we are.
Just as we were chatting the most enthusiastically, a dignified cough sounded. Hearing this sound, we immediately stood in our positions because we knew that this cough was made by Grandpa Chief.
As expected…when we were in line, Grandpa Chief walked over step by step. Seeing that we were in line, he couldn't help but nod slightly and say, Alright, children, since everyone is here, I think…the test should begin!
Glancing at us, Grandpa Chief continued," After a year of hard work, I believe…everyone has made considerable progress. Now…all of you can show your abilities one by one. Don't be afraid of failing, because I can prove that all of you have tried your best. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. As long as you continue to work hard and train yourself, you will eventually pass.
Grandpa Chief was definitely the kind of person who would do things with great efficiency. He only said a few words before announcing the start of the test. They went to the small square to be tested according to their size.
I had already grown to 168cm. Although I still had the body of a child among humans, compared to these dwarves who were no taller than 120cm, I definitely outshone them. Therefore…I was naturally at the end of the line, which was also the last person to take the test.
But it doesn't matter. I won't be impatient. After being separated for so long, I really want to know how Xiri's companions have improved.
After the period of recuperation and cultivation, my Nine Suns Tremor Qi has become more condensed, and I am more skilled in using true qi. Therefore…I am not worried about my exams at all. I just need to enjoy the performances of my companions.
Soon, the first dwarf walked to the center of the field. After bowing slightly to the grandfather chief and the uncles and aunties of the village, he took out his wooden axe and began to practice the 18 Dwarven Axes.
While watching his performance, I kept nodding my head. Although there were still some flaws in his grasp and observation of the details, whether it was in terms of strength or the standard of his movements, there were no problems at all. As long as he continued to train, coupled with his constant comprehension and the guidance of his elders, sooner or later, he would become the most outstanding blacksmith and the most outstanding warrior.
After they finished practicing the axe technique, an uncle at the side brought over 18 papayas. Don't underestimate papayas. As a fruit similar to coconuts, although their flesh was very sweet, outside the flesh was a thick and sturdy shell. To split them with an axe, not only did it require a certain amount of strength, but it also required a certain degree of accuracy and speed. Otherwise... if the axe missed, the papayas would immediately fly away.
This test was very scientific. Although the test methods on the continent might be different from here, but…this method could definitely measure whether a person had reached the level of a trainee warrior.
First, there was the problem of accuracy. If he couldn't hit the middle of the papaya, he definitely wouldn't be able to cut it open. The papaya would slide away with the force.
The second was speed. If the speed was too slow, then with the strength of an apprentice warrior, it would be impossible to break the papaya's hard shell. Only a very fast speed could rely on strength to forcefully cut through the papaya in an instant.
The third was strength. Speed alone was not enough. If one did not have enough strength, no matter how fast one was, it would be useless. One had to have a perfect combination of speed and strength to cut through the hard papaya.
Finally, there was the issue of actual combat. When chopping papayas, each axe had to use a Dwarf Axe Technique. 18 axe strikes had to be performed from the beginning to the end. 18 axe strikes had to cut through 18 papayas. There could not be any mistakes. At the same time…the attack posture could not be changed at all.
Just think about it…if he could even use the Dwarf Axe to chop down papayas that were so difficult to chop, then what was there to worry about in actual combat? As long as he continued to train, it was only a matter of time before he became a beginner warrior. Although it might be a long time, dwarves had a long life.
