“David, did you really remember everything?” asked Galen who similarly did not believe him.
He had seen many prodigies, but the Stormy Warhammer Technique was not just a basic technique. Although David’s body had reached the basic standards for practicing the Stormy Warhammer Technique, the complexity of it and the various uses of power and transformation techniques would be difficult to remember, even for those who had studied the basic Warhammer Technique.
According to what Galen knew, David, like Myron, had never learned how to use a warhammer before this.
“Uncle Galen, I remember everything!” David answered with a look of certainty.
“Practice it once then!” Galen exclaimed upon hearing David’s firm answer. He still had some doubts.
David nodded and took the warhammer from Galen’s hand.
The moment he received the warhammer, David’s aura changed and an unrelenting aura erupted from his body.
Galen could sense David’s aura, and he could not help but feel stunned. The warhammer was a weapon that was purely meant for attacking. It needed an unrelenting aura and momentum.
If he didn’t know that David hadn’t learned how to use a warhammer before, he would have thought David had been practicing it since he was a child.
Had there ever been a warhammer practitioner who did not have any warhammers at home and usually practiced with a longsword that was hung on the wall?
David ignored Galen’s inquisitive gaze and the expression on Maron’s face, which seemed to suggest that he was intending to watch a good show. When he picked up the warhammer, he seemed to have fused and become one with the warhammer in his hand. It was as if the warhammer had united with his body.
Although the warhammer wasn’t his preferred combat style, he had an 82% Intermediate-level mastery of it, and thus, having the warhammer alone was enough.
When he started practicing the Stormy Warhammer Technique, he realized the importance of the Intermediate Level Bodywork. It was precisely due to his mastery of the control of his bones and muscles while practicing the Intermediate Level Bodywork that made it easier for him to practice the Stormy Warhammer Technique than he had imagined.
With his eyes wide open, Maron watched as David practiced the complete set of Stormy Warhammer Techniques, one by one. He even began to doubt his own intelligence.
They were both learning at the same time, and his physical fitness had even surpassed David’s. However, he only remembered the first six movements while David continuously demonstrated all six with finesse. Why was that so?
Unlike Maron, Galen saw much more.
At this moment, David was not only simulating the Stormy Warhammer Technique that he had just demonstrated. David felt like he was engrossed in performing the technique, as if he had been a real armorer who had used the warhammer for numerous years all along.
With David’s performance, his aura was now mixed with an additional murderous intent.
Although the murderous intent was unstable, Galen could not understand how David managed to do it.
There was only one possibility, and such was that David was a prodigy and a genius who was incomparable, in both Bodywork and Warhammer Mastery.
In reality, David could master the use of the warhammer that quickly entirely because of Galen’s guidance. Galen’s slow illustration and demonstration of the powerful technique was what David needed the most.
If David had to look for tutorial videos on his own or engage someone else of a lower level to teach him, there was no way he would have been able to reach this level after using the warhammer for the first time.
“Maron, demonstrate the first six movements you learned too!” Galen said as he grabbed a warhammer and handed it to Maron.
Maron took a good look at David who had performed the techniques well. He didn’t want to compare himself to David at a time like this, but he had to do what Galen asked.
“Just get started, don’t compare yourself to David. Just be yourself and do your best!” Galen instructed in a deep voice.
Maron picked up the warhammer and was about to perform the techniques. However, he was interrupted by Galen before he could begin.
“You’re not holding the warhammer the right way. This is how you should do it!” Galen exclaimed as he corrected Maron’s mistake.
After Maron corrected his stance and performed the first move, Galen discovered another mistake. However, this time, he didn’t remind him again and instead watched as Maron continued to rehearse.
