"Honestly, how could you be so dumb? It's obviously so simple!"
Ya Er complained, unaware that Li Si's expression was even uglier than hers.
What kind of nonsense was that supposed to teach me?
What did she mean by do this, then this, then that?
It was just too abstract. Compared to that, Welf and the others seemed far more talented at teaching.
At least they were much better than this mediocre teacher in front of him.
Li Si resisted the urge to give Ya Er a disdainful look. After thinking it over, he suggested, "How about this, Ya Er? Stop explaining, and let's just practice directly. I'll copy your movements."
"Sure." Ya Er thought for a moment before agreeing. She immediately took her stance and began demonstrating how to use a whip.
Today, Ya Er had simply tied her glossy black hair high with a thin cord. She seemed like a nimble doe leaping across the training ground, her hair flying freely through the air with her movements. The long whip in her hand cracked through the air without leaving a single gap, wielded with remarkable familiarity.
If the system were to judge Ya Er's whip proficiency, it should already be at the advanced level. She had mentioned last night that she had taught herself out of curiosity. As for her main weapon proficiency, she was probably not far from Legendary-level sword mastery.
"Did you understand?" Ya Er stopped and asked Li Si.
"I'll give it a try. Stand by and help correct my movements," Li Si said, not refusing as he immediately began practicing.
The two began a one-on-one training session on the field.
Sure enough, this method was far more effective than listening to her incomprehensible lecture earlier.
Although the whip was a flexible weapon, quite different from the swords, sabers, and spears Li Si had previously learned, his foundation was already solid. As long as he carefully studied the techniques for controlling the whip and applying force, he improved quickly.
Once Ya Er saw that Li Si had basically become familiar with the whip's usage, she picked up a whip herself and began sparring with him, helping him master it faster.
As expected of a future Legendary Warrior.
Whether it was her combat techniques or reaction speed, she utterly crushed Li Si, who was only half-competent.
Li Si even felt that if he used his high-level mage account from his previous life, he might not necessarily be guaranteed to defeat the still-immature Ya Er.
However, he now possessed the one-of-a-kind talent All-Rounder as well. He was confident that he could reach, or even surpass, the future Valkyrie.
The sounds of training on the field behind the villa continued from morning until nightfall.
Inside the villa's living room,
Arsen glanced outside through the window. Seeing Li Si still persistently practicing with his whip beneath the glow of a Magic Stone Lamp, he remarked with some emotion, "He's working that hard? It's already dark. I just don't understand why Li Si, a mage, suddenly wants to learn how to use a whip. How strange."
Elena was not in the villa at the moment, and no one knew what she had gone off to do. Lunbos, however, had already gotten up and was once again drinking heartily at the table with some snacks.
Outside, Li Si was drenched in sweat. Even after the sun had set, the June heat of Can Guang City showed no sign of fading.
The reason Li Si kept practicing into the night was nothing else. His whip proficiency had reached 95% of the beginner level. If he stopped now, he suspected that with his somewhat obsessive personality, he would not sleep well tonight. He might as well grind for a while longer and max out the proficiency in one go.
[Whip proficiency increased. 98%] [Whip proficiency increased. 99%] [Whip proficiency increased. 100%] [Your whip proficiency has risen to the intermediate level!] [Intermediate Whip Mastery: You have basically mastered the techniques for using a whip. The power of whips you wield increases moderately.]
Li Si stopped, wiped away his sweat, and looked at the system notifications.
Is it coming? Is it coming? Is the big one finally coming?
[Ding~] [Detected that ten of your weapon proficiencies have reached the intermediate level!] [Hidden condition activated! Warrior class specialty: Proficiency in All Weapons] [Beginning evaluation] [Evaluation (1/3): Basic Warrior class evaluation failed.

I finally got it! Proficiency in All Weapons!
No matter how much sweat he had shed before this, it had now paid off—and the rewards were extremely generous, laying a solid foundation for his future development.
His Strength attribute received a 2x modifier, soaring directly from 39 points to 73.
With the increase in Strength, his Health Points also rose from 1,170 to 1,510.
Li Si patted his pectorals and felt much tankier. His Health Points were already comparable to those of warriors at the same level. He was finally no longer a squishy mage!
This viscount was clearly a mage, yet he was absurdly tanky.
Ordinary professionals could only possess one basic class specialty with an Attribute Enhancement effect, but Li Si's All-Rounder talent allowed him to break through that limitation.
This was Li Si's first time experiencing such a leap in Attribute Enhancement. Moreover, this improvement was not merely a one-time boost. As his level rose, its effects would only become more pronounced.
This was absurdly powerful!
As expected of a Legendary-level talent!
I really am an unparalleled genius! Hahahaha!
Beside him, Ya Er watched as Li Si suddenly stopped, stared blankly ahead, and then began laughing.
Ya Er's face changed dramatically. She shouted toward the house, "Come out quickly! Li Si trained himself stupid—his brain got overheated!"
"Don't! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Coming back to his senses, Li Si grabbed Ya Er, who was about to run into the house to call for help, his face full of dark lines.
"Ah, Li Si, are you all right now?" Ya Er turned back to look curiously at the helpless-looking Li Si.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I just made a bit of a breakthrough during training and got a little happy," Li Si could only explain.
"Then are we still training?" Ya Er asked.
"No, let's rest. We've trained long enough today. Thanks for your hard work, Ya Er," Li Si said sincerely.
Although Ya Er was unreliable when explaining theory, she had truly helped him greatly during actual training and patiently stayed with him all day.
Five percent of the credit for Proficiency in All Weapons belongs to you. The other ninety-five percent comes from my extraordinary talent.
