Chapter 4: Exploring the Martial Path
The sun slowly rose up into the sky, sending blinding rays of light through the gaps in the wooden houses On a shly forty dwarven children These younglings were the bearers of hope and future of the dwarven race!
Even though I’hly 16m, I’m way taller than the rest of this bunch of kids Even compared to the humans on Earth, where I came from, I could already be considered a lanky youth Needless to say, these stout dwarven kids who didn’t even reach 1ht size for my armrests… Hehehe…
The chief stood in front of us sternly Looking at hi over 90 years old were indeed true! The only hair he had re on his face was the prominent white beard!
Swinging the pair of heavy axes, each as large as the young dwarf next toall over the place, “Our dwarven race was born to be warriors Thus, I will pass down the basics of co the protectors of our race will be handed down to you in the near future!”
Sweeping his eyes over usin our race, and weakness, less so I will not ramble on and on, and leave all of you with an order Withoutas you may become!”
“YES, SIR!”
We roared in unison Owing to the fact that they could finally start learning the basics of costers were extremely enthusiastic Hereafter, they would be able to embark on the path to become a true warrior Once they have accorand world outside the dwarven village!
Holding a wooden axe ether with the rest of the kids Other than lunch, we spent the entire day on the basic stances!
Even though a wood axe is way lighter than a standard issue axe of fine iron, it was still too heavy for ten year old kids like us After exceeding our liinable!
In the evening, I returned to my home, a small shack built forpain hit etic at the end of the training wasn’t for no reason I confir to do with their genes, and not attainable solely through randos
However, I will never ad up does not exist Back on Earth, I had never lost to anyone in any aspect that I wanted to win in How could I give up at this important juncture?!
Lying on hall that I was taught that afternoon However, I still couldn’t grasp the essence of the various techniques hours later
Actually, the techniques that I had been taught was crafted for dwarves They copied the race’s everyday motions and compiled it into various skills All of these relied purely on brute force!
However, could one train in these kinds of ure? In retrospect, the trashy books that I had bought froar back on Earth was a heavenly martial technique compared to this set of dwarven arts
Theknives”, also focused on strength However, The main difference lay in the fact that the dwarven axe relied on hacking at the eneth at different points!
The dwarven axe style didn’t have any cutting techniques to speak of, relying fully on the dwarf’s enorth It’s a style that forced the eneth
However, the ‘Hundred Slashi+ng Knives’ was diametrically opposed to the dwarven counterpart It focused on science It described in depth of how to use tremendous force in an instant and how to travel the path of least resistance It was siest attack, one would attack the weakest point of an eneest attack!
The ‘Hundred Slashi+ng Knives’ had neither thrusts nor sweeping le les, directions and rapidly firing off slash after slash, there was no defence, no hesitation and no retreat One would meet an eneic behind each and every slash, one would be able to force an enemy to the point of no return This was the ‘Hundred Slashi+ng Knives’!
Playing back the teachings of the chief in my head, I knew that I could never practice it to mastery On the contrary, once I found the weakness of the dwarven axe style, I knew that if I focused all of th to attack that point, that ferocious axe strike of the chief would never succeed against me!
Someone once said: “Give me a fulcrum and I can lift the entire Earth” As crazy as it sounds, it was definitely doable However, the only problenoring those points, his analogy was definitely not false
As long as oneforce was over millions of pascals, science dictates that a shly educated background, I clearly knew that brute force was never the solution Moreover, the saying that one can lift hundreds of kilograth is not a myth!
