Incomplete Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique (Please Add to Favorites)
Tie Long and Tie Hu did not dare raise their heads at all.
The two stood on either side of Tie Xiong, slowly massaging his legs, waist, back, and arms.
They seemed to feel their father's disdain.
They felt like crying, but no tears would come.
"Little brother, little brother, you've really doomed us. Our training is getting increased again tomorrow!"
At that moment, Tie Xiong felt heat spreading through his entire body, and it was extremely comfortable.
Especially in his hands—the piercing pain had already faded, replaced by a strange comfort.
They felt numb and itchy.
As he savored the sensation, Tie Xiong closed his eyes as well, recalling the three basic movements his father had taught him.
Grip, swing, strike.
His father's figure became clearer and clearer in his mind.
Recalling those basic movements, Tie Xiong gradually drifted into sleep.
Seeing that his son had fallen asleep, Tie Xin quietly took away the copper kettle. He applied medicinal mud to Tie Xiong's hands again, wrapped his son's hands in cloth, and sealed the mud inside.
Only then did he lead his other two sons outside.
"You two must raise your Soul Power by another level this year and reach level eight!" After assigning Tie Long and Tie Hu their task, Tie Xin left without looking back.
Tie Long and Tie Hu turned back, their eyes filled with resentment as they glanced at Tie Xiong's room.
They were seven and a half years old and already at level seven. In the year and a half since their awakening, they had advanced by two levels.
That was also the result of their tremendous effort.
After all, their Innate Soul Power had only been level five. Yet their little brother, who had been working desperately since the age of one, had brought them even greater pressure.
It seemed they would have to endure their father's hammering from now on.
Over the following days, Tie Xiong continued practicing gripping, swinging, and striking.
The three most basic movements of hammer techniques.
Tie Xin did not teach him any other techniques, nor did he teach him the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
He merely used Bone Refining Medicinal Mud every day to temper Tie Xiong's tendons and bones.
They said scholars could be poor, but martial artists could not, and that was no lie.
The medicinal mud Tie Xin used was not made from any precious heavenly treasure.
But it had to be used every single day.
Fortunately, the Tie Family owned the largest Blacksmith Shop in Suotuo City, and business was excellent.
Only then could they afford to support Tie Xiong's daily use of it.
Tie Xiong's life was extremely monotonous and dull.
Every day, he did only one thing: practice hammering and temper his body.
However, because he was still too young, Tie Xin had set a rule that he could not train for more than two hours a day.
Tie Xiong had plenty of time left over.
So he simply had his father find him more books, and he read whenever he had nothing else to do.
Meditation Method, Soul Beast Compendium, Complete Analysis of Martial Souls, True Meaning of Tool Martial Souls, Identification of Hundred Herbs, The Story Between Me and Soul Beasts.
Hm? Was that last one serious?
Tie Xiong hurriedly opened it, only to be deeply disappointed. It was merely the autobiography of a Soul Elder who had traveled through the Soul Hunting Forest.
He had thought he would see something different!
The titles of these books all sounded impressive, but Tie Xiong knew their contents were just basic material. After all, given his father's status as a blacksmith, he could not obtain anything too profound.
After thinking it over, Tie Xiong picked up Soul Beast Compendium first and began reading.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
"Starting today, I'll teach you the technique of exerting force. This is the true essence of the Tie Family Hammer Technique: borrowing force to apply force!"
"Son, to deliver the strongest strike, the most important thing is to exert force from the waist. The waist drives the back, the back drives the arms, and the arms swing the hammer down for the strike!"
Then Tie Xiong saw a familiar scene, similar to the movements from the comics he had read in his previous life.
He used the rebound force from the hammer striking downward, then turned and continued striking.
Every strike carried greater force than the one before it.
This was the true essence of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. If it could be stacked up to eighty-one strikes, its power would become unimaginably great.
But Tie Xiong knew very well that what his father said was completely different from what Tang Hao had said.
Tang Hao had said that people had three hearts. Besides the heart in the chest, the muscles in the calves were the second and third hearts. To unleash the strongest strike, one had to begin with force from the calves, send it upward through the thighs, pass it through the waist and back, then the arms, and finally release it. That was a full-power strike.
But his father said to exert force from the waist.
Who was right?
Was there even a need to ask? What his father taught was definitely incomplete.
No wonder his father said their descendants had been unfilial. It was true—somehow, as it was passed down, parts had been lost. What remained was truly only the surface.
Without the technique of exerting force through the legs, the strike could not possibly be the strongest one.
Seeing how forcefully his father demonstrated it, Tie Xiong did not argue. More importantly, he had no reason to argue.
He would wait until he could verify it himself in the future.
"Give it a try!" Tie Xin knew how strong his son's ability to learn was.
Thus, after demonstrating it, he had his son try.
Tie Xiong picked up the two-jin Forging Hammer. After three months of training, he could now lift the two-jin hammer easily and even swing it like the wind.
At that moment, he held the hammer in his right hand and planted both feet firmly against the ground.
He leaned his upper body forward, imitating his father's posture.
Then he delivered a fierce strike against the forging table.
Tie Xiong's palm trembled slightly as he sensed the force that was about to rebound through the Forging Hammer.
He immediately adjusted his movements, turning along with the hammer. He guided it through a full rotation before smashing it down against the forging table once more.
Tie Xiong felt that this strike, which borrowed force, was at least one and a half times stronger than his usual strength.
"Use your waist and abdomen to drive the strength of your entire body. Again!" Tie Xin said in a deep voice.
Tie Xiong recalled his father's movements and delivered another fierce strike.
Tie Xin's eyes showed approval.
Clanging sounds rang out from the forging table.
Tie Xiong was practicing the Tie Family Hammer Technique so intensely that he forgot himself.
Tie Xin continuously corrected Tie Xiong's movements. The technique of borrowing force sounded simple, but it was difficult to execute.
Several times, Tie Xiong lost control of the Forging Hammer, and his father had to use Soul Power to catch it.
He did not have Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, or Mysterious Heaven Skill. Tang San's delicate control over force was exquisite.
But Tie Xiong could not do that at all yet.
This training continued for several months before Tie Xiong truly mastered the second strike of the Tie Family Hammer Technique.
And it was still an incomplete second strike, drawing force from the waist and abdomen rather than from the calves.
Even so, Tie Xiong was very satisfied. These months of practice had deepened his understanding of the hammer as a weapon considerably.
All things were difficult at the beginning. Once he mastered the second strike, the third and fourth strikes could be stacked endlessly afterward.
As his body's ability to withstand the strain grew stronger, he would gradually improve.
Tie Xiong was very satisfied with his progress in hammer techniques, but regarding the progress of his body, he felt he could do more.
After all, Douluo Continent was bottom-tier among fantasy worlds.
The martial arts of wuxia worlds were all quite effective here.
Tie Xiong was a fine modern young man. He did not know martial arts, but he did know techniques and methods for training the body.
So first, he increased his own workload.
On his second birthday, Tie Xiong gave himself a birthday present: two leg weights, followed by an hour of running every day.
This was mainly to train his calves. Once his body became stronger, he intended to try the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer by starting his force from the calf muscles.
