In the following morning, both David and Maron showed up in the dining hall at 6 a.m. sharp without needing the robot butler Emma to wake them up.
As people who wanted to become armorers, being able to receive guidance from Galen was extremely exciting. Of course, they would adhere to Galen’s requests.
When Galen arrived at the dining hall, he saw the two of them who were eating. A look of satisfaction crossed his face. Without a serious and hardworking attitude, becoming a powerhouse would be impossible.
“David, come here!” Galen exclaimed while pointing at David who had just finished his meal.
David walked towards Galen who gently tapped his body. David then sensed a strange transmission of a massive amount of power to every muscle and bone in his body.
“Not bad, your strength has reached the standard prerequisite of admission of Nan University. Given the state of your muscles, there should also be no problem with your speed either. As expected, your improvement will be very rapid since you have already mastered Intermediate-level Bodywork at this stage. As long as you continue to eat a sufficient amount of strengthened meat, I believe you can reach the minimum standards of strength and speed of an armorer during the college entrance exam!” Galen said with a satisfied smile.
“Uncle Galen, can I reach David’s level of mastery of Bodywork?” Maron asked after hearing Galen’s words.
Although having Galen’s guidance gave him hope of entering Nan University, it did not enable him to reach the minimum armorer standards of being admitted to Nan University.
After one’s strength broke through 200 kilograms, every bit of growth would become extremely difficult, especially after reaching 500 kilograms. Most students would be stuck at that threshold and only the talented ones or those who often consumed strengthened meat would achieve a breakthrough.
Every bit of Maron’s progress now was extremely slow. However, David’s strength was only at 600 kilograms yesterday and yet, it had now become 800 kilograms. Maron would obviously be tempted by the rapid improvement.
“Although I can guide you in Beginner, you must find the most suitable coordination between your bones and muscles. There is no shortcut, and the only way is to train hard. David’s situation is extremely special. When the increase in his Physique is stagnant, he can use his talent to force his Bodywork to reach the extreme of the Beginner level. All that is missing is a critical step. What I did was just a final push for him.” Galen shook his head to break Maron’s fantasy.
“Ah!” Maron sighed in disappointment.
“Maron, your conditions are already excellent. Hurry and practice!” Galen casually chided as he knocked his hand on Maron’s head.
“I’ll go now!” Maron frantically held his head and scurried towards the basement.
“David, we’ve already found the hiding place of those four members of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps. After everyone else goes to work in the day and there are fewer people around, we’ll deal with them!” Galen exclaimed. He turned and smiled at David who was about to follow him to the gym.
“Uncle Galen, may I tag along?” David frantically asked. He was tempted as that was a rare opportunity. If the four mercenaries were killed on the spot, it would be a huge gain for him.
“Sure, getting to know the combat methods of armorers will be good for your future growth!” Galen agreed with a nod after thinking about it.
If it had been any other student, he would not have agreed to let them join in to watch the armorers fight since it would most likely put pressure on them emotionally, which would affect their development.
However, David was different; his Intermediate-level Bodywork would allow him to improve rapidly in the following days. Becoming an armorer was no longer an obstacle for David, and understanding the power of the armorer in advance was the only way to not make David feel conceited.
David and Galen walked into the underground gym together. Once they entered, David saw two warhammers, which were about a meter long each, placed on the floor.
He tried hard to resist the urge to pick up the warhammer and instead began to practice the eighteen movements of Bodywork properly.
The practice of the eighteen movements of Bodywork did not leave any sense of fatigue on his body at all, and instead, he felt a burst of relief. It was as if his muscles were stretched out, and the Level 1 strengthened meat that he had for breakfast had turned into energy that was continuously absorbed by his body.
After just one practice, he felt like his body had experienced an obvious improvement.
“David, from now on, your optimal number of exercises of Bodywork per day is twice, any more and you will instead experience negative effects. You will practice once in the morning and once in the evening. This just so happens to give you more time to practice other aspects too,” Galen instructed after seeing how much pleasure David was enjoying.
Maron had also finished practicing the eighteen movements of Bodywork once. However, he had broken into a cold sweat at this moment, and he felt like he was about to break down in exhaustion at any moment.
“Maron, don’t stop, continue to practice it once more after you take a break. You need to practice Bodywork at least ten times a day and remember the points I mentioned in each movement. Only then can you make rapid progress!” Galen turned to Maron and reminded him.
“Why? Why?” Maron muttered incessantly while seated on the ground.
David looked at him, feeling a little amused. However, at the same time, he also felt helpless. He couldn’t possibly give the Knowledge Orb to him, not to mention the Shadow Servant, which was a secret of his. He did not know what consequences there would be if he were to give the Knowledge Orbs away. He had no idea if it would succeed or fail.
The Knowledge Orb worked on one’s soul. It only seemed harmless to him because he was the owner of the Shadow Servant.
No one would dare to try such a mysterious thing.
“David, Maron, I’ll teach you how to use the warhammer today!” Galen said directly without wasting any time as he looked at his two students.
He did not have much time. Once he solved the problem with the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps today, he would only be able to stay for three more days at most. His schedule, which he had already arranged long ago, was disrupted because of the sudden piece of news. Hence, he had no choice but to leave early.
David and Maron focused their attention on Galen and started listening to his lecture.
“Whether it’s a warhammer, a heavy axe, a spear, or any other light weapon, you should start practicing with basic techniques and then incorporate them into battles. This is a long process, but of course, those who are talented will take a shorter time,” Galen said as he looked at David who was listening intently.
“I won’t teach you the basic warhammer techniques that you have learned in school. With your current strength and speed, you have completely met the entry requirements of the Stormy Warhammer Techniques. This is a full basic set of 36 techniques that you can use after practicing until you reach the Beginner level. You can use it to completely crush the basic warhammer techniques that are one level higher!” Galen continued.
His words made David’s and Maron’s eyes light up. Most of the average students in universities could only learn basic weapon techniques and would not be exposed to more advanced weapon techniques, let alone high school students.
According to what Galen said, as long as they practiced the Stormy Warhammer Technique and advanced to the Beginner level, they would be able to defeat the learners at the intermediate and beginner level of the basic Warhammer Technique.
It was obvious how precious the Stormy Warhammer Technique was. Gale had really put in the effort by using such a technique to build their foundation.
“Let me demonstrate it once. You guys, watch!” Galen exclaimed while picking up a warhammer from the ground and swinging it gently.
Galen then swung the warhammer and began performing the movements slowly.
At this moment, David’s attention was now completely focused on Galen. His 3.0 Mental Energy allowed his brain to be extremely clear, and he noticed and remembered every movement Galen made, including the exertions of his muscles and bones.
If he hadn’t fused the 82% Intermediate Warhammer Mastery Knowledge Orb before, he would have learned at most a generic stance at this point. However, the 82% Warhammer Mastery Knowledge Orb allowed him to understand much more.
He was completely immersed in Galen’s demonstration, and the Stormy Warhammer Technique was being perfected in his mind, bit by bit.
From David’s point of view, Galen’s slow demonstration method was actually much more difficult than a quick one. It would be many times easier to make one’s muscles work fast and make the warhammer dance under inertia, as opposed to slower movements.
“How much have you memorized?” Galen asked as he ended the demonstration of the Stormy Warhammer Technique without blushing or panting.
Generally, he made them feel that his demonstration was not taxing on his body at all.
“I memorized everything!” David answered.
“I memorized the first six!” Maron answered.
They answered at the same time, but their answers were different.
David and Maron looked at each other. The expression in David’s eyes seemed to be saying, ‘This is such a simple technique, but you can only remember the first six movements!’
Maron looked at David, and the look in his eyes seemed to be expressing, ‘Braggart!’
