Storm Hammer Technique

Chapter 31 Storm Hammer Technique

The next morning, without needing Emma the Smart Butler to wake them, both David and Myron appeared in the dining room promptly at six o'clock.

As two people aspiring to become Armored Warriors, being able to receive guidance from Gallen was already incredibly exciting, so they would naturally follow his requirements.

When Gallen arrived at the dining room and saw the two eating, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face; to become a powerhouse, one could not succeed without a diligent and serious attitude.

"David, come here!" he said, pointing to David, who had just finished his meal.

David walked to Gallen's side, and Gallen gently patted David's body. David felt a modest force strangely conduct itself into every muscle and bone in his body.

"Not bad, your strength has already reached the entrance standards for Na'an University. With your current muscle state, there should be no problem with your speed either. As expected, mastering the Eighteen Forms of Body Technique at this stage will lead to extremely rapid improvement. As long as the Fortified Meat can keep up, I believe you can reach the minimum strength and speed standards of an Armored Warrior by the time of the college entrance exam!" Gallen said with a satisfied smile.

"Uncle Gallen, can I reach David's level of mastery in the body technique?" Myron asked, unable to help himself after hearing Gallen's words.

Although he had Gallen's guidance, which gave him hope of getting into Na'an University, he had no way of reaching the Armored Warrior standard before the college entrance exam.

After strength breaks through two hundred kilograms, every bit of growth becomes extremely difficult. Especially after five hundred kilograms, the vast majority of students get stuck here; those who can break through are either students who have consumed Fortified Meat for years or those with innate talent.

Currently, every bit of Myron's improvement was incredibly slow, but David's strength was six hundred kilograms yesterday and had already become eight hundred kilograms today. How could Myron not be tempted by such leap-style progress?

"While I can guide you through the movements of the body technique, the coordination of bones and muscles within them must be found by yourself to see what suits you best. There are no shortcuts for this; the only way is hard training. David's situation is extremely special. When his physique was stagnant, he used his talent to forcibly raise his body technique to the limit of the entry level. He was only missing that final push, and all I did was provide that last nudge," Gallen said, shaking his head and shattering Myron's illusions.

"Sigh!" Myron sighed in disappointment.

"Myron, your conditions are already quite good. Go and practice quickly!" Gallen said with a laugh, tapping Myron on the head.

"I'm going right now!" Myron hurriedly covered his head and ran toward the basement.

"David, I've already found the hiding place of the four Armored Warrior mercenaries from the Sirius Mercenary Group. We'll wait until daytime when people are working and there are fewer people around to go and take them out!" Gallen turned to David, who was about to follow him to the gym, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Gallen, can I go along and watch?" David's heart stirred. This was a rare opportunity; if four Armored Warriors were killed on the spot, his gains would be significant, so he hurriedly requested.

"That's fine. Letting you know the combat style of an Armored Warrior early will be good for your future growth!" Gallen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If it were any other student, he would not have agreed to let them watch an Armored Warrior's battle, as it would very likely create psychological pressure on the student and instead affect their development.

But David was different. The proficient-level body technique meant that David would improve rapidly in the coming days, and becoming an Armored Warrior was no longer an obstacle for him. Only by understanding the power of an Armored Warrior in advance would David not become arrogant.

David and Gallen walked into the gym together. As soon as they entered, David saw two war hammers, each about a meter long, placed on the ground.

He resisted the urge to pick up the war hammers and honestly began practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Technique.

This time, practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Technique did not leave his whole body feeling exhausted; instead, there were waves of comfort. It was as if all the muscles in his body had been opened up, and the level-one Fortified Meat from breakfast was being continuously absorbed by his body as energy.

After practicing just once, he felt that his body had gained some improvement; it was a significant boost.

"David, the optimal number of times for you to practice the body technique each day from now on is twice. Any more will actually have negative effects. Practice once in the morning and once in the evening; that way, you'll have more time to practice other items," Gallen reminded him, seeing David's look of enjoyment.

Myron had also finished one round of the Eighteen Forms of Body Technique on the side, but he was drenched in sweat and felt like he might collapse at any moment.

"Myron, don't stop. After you rest, continue and do it again. You must practice the body technique at least ten times a day. Remember the points I mentioned for every form; only then can you make rapid progress!" Gallen turned to advise Myron.

"Why? Why?" Myron sat on the ground, muttering to himself.

David looked at him, feeling a bit amused but also helpless. He couldn't exactly give him the Knowledge Light Orb to use, not to mention the secret of the Shadow Servant; he didn't even know the consequences of giving the Knowledge Light Orb to someone else—whether it would succeed or just kill them outright.

One had to know that the Knowledge Light Orb acted upon the soul. He was the master of the Shadow Servant, which was why the Knowledge Light Orb seemed so harmless.

No one dared to mess around with such mysterious things.

"David, Myron, today I will teach you how to use a war hammer!" Gallen saw his two students resting and didn't waste time, speaking directly.

He didn't have much time. If he solved the problem with the Sirius Mercenary Group today, he could stay for at most three more days. The originally scheduled time had to be cut short due to news from afar.

David and Myron focused their attention on Gallen, entering a state of listening.

"Whether it's a war hammer, heavy axe, spear, or other light weapons, the practice method always starts with basic techniques, and then you integrate these basic techniques into combat. This is a long process. Of course, those with talent can shorten this process." Gallen said this while looking at David, who was listening intently.

"I won't teach you the basic war hammer techniques from school. With your strength and speed, you have fully reached the entry requirements for the Storm Hammer Technique. This complete set of techniques consists of thirty-six forms. Once you practice it to the entry level, you can completely crush the basic war hammer techniques that are one grade higher!" Gallen continued.

His words made David and Myron's eyes light up. Let alone high school, even in most universities, ordinary students could only learn basic weapon techniques; where would they ever come into contact with more profound weapon techniques?

According to Gallen, as long as they practiced the Storm Hammer Technique to the initial entry level, they could defeat learners of intermediate-level basic war hammer techniques.

It was clear how precious this Storm Hammer Technique was. Using such a technique to build their foundation showed that Gallen was absolutely putting his heart into it.

"Next, I will demonstrate it once. Watch closely!" As Gallen spoke, he picked up a war hammer from the ground and swung it lightly.

Then, Gallen began to wield the war hammer, performing the movements at a slow speed.

David's attention was completely focused on Gallen at this moment. His 3.0 spirit made his brain incredibly clear. Every one of Gallen's movements, including the exertion of his muscles and bones, was seen by his eyes and recorded in his mind.

If he hadn't previously fused with the 82% proficient-level War Hammer Mastery, he would have at most learned a general posture, but the 82% proficient-level War Hammer Mastery allowed him to see and understand much more.

He was completely immersed in Gallen's practice, and the Storm Hammer Technique was being perfected bit by bit in his mind.

From David's perspective, Gallen's slow method of demonstration was much more difficult than a fast one. One had to know that making muscles exert force quickly to let the war hammer dance under the influence of inertia was many times easier than moving slowly bit by bit.

"How much did you remember?" Gallen finished the demonstration of the Storm Hammer Technique and asked without blushing or panting.

The overall impression he gave the two students was that the demonstration just now hadn't cost him any effort at all.

"I remembered it all!" David replied.

"I remembered the first six forms!" Myron replied.

The two answered simultaneously, but not in unison.

David and Myron looked at each other. In David's gaze toward Myron was: "Such a simple technique, and you only remembered the first six forms!"

In Myron's gaze toward David were only two words: "Bragging!"
