Chapter 28: Warrior Training
It had been a week since Watson left Miles Manor.
“Raise your hand a little higher, Watson. If you want to become a warrior, learning combat aura is only one aspect. The most important thing is to remember the muscle exertion technique! Among the four major professions in this world, warriors may not be the strongest, but their bodies are definitely the toughest. Some powerful warriors can defeat their enemies without using combat aura.”
In front of the wooden house, Watson held the Stormsword in his hand. Under the guidance of his big brother, Vincent, he practiced one step at a time.
Ha!
Ha!
After letting out a breath, Watson took a step forward with his right leg, raised the great sword, and hacked it down. Then, he withdrew his leg and continued to repeat this action. His strength was at least 2,000 catties, so it was naturally easy for him to swing a sword that weighed about a few dozen catties. However, it was inevitable that his arm would be sore after swinging it tens of thousands of times.
Vincent stood at the side and held a small wooden stick in his hand. As long as Watson’s movements were not up to the standard, Watson would be hit on the back.
Vincent was pleased to see his eighth sibling training so diligently. It was not just because Watson was obviously a mage but took an interest in warrior training. In fact, he was actually quite shocked when Watson came asking for advice, as he had seen Watson use the Phoenix Wings previously and made him assume that Watson was already a Silver-tier powerhouse that transformed his combat aura into wings.
“It’s about time to take a break. How’s your combat aura training going these days? I learned my Fire Lion combat aura from a Silver-tier powerhouse, and with your talent, you should be able to release your combat aura by now.”
After correcting Watson a few times and realizing that Watson’s movements had reached the standard, Vincent nodded in satisfaction.
That eighth sibling of his was truly blessed by the heavens, as Watson learnt everything at lightning speed.
Other people would need at least a few years of hard work to become an Iron-tier warrior by learning combat aura. However, Watson had done it in just a few days. Vincent’s heart was filled with joy, but at the same time, he was also a little envious. If he could have such a good fire-type combat aura talent like Watson, he would have long become a Silver-tier warrior.
Although any warrior could practice combat aura, it was also important to choose a combat aura that was suitable for him. For example, Watson’s physique leaned towards water, so he would be able to practice water-type combat aura with half the effort, while learning other combat aura would take a lot of time and effort. However, traces of the phoenix’s bloodline in Watson’s body meant that he could learn fire-type combat aura quickly as well.
Hearing his big brother’s words, Watson stabbed the Stormsword in his hand into the ground. He raised his hand to wipe his sweat and then stretched it out. In his hand, a fiery red cyclone appeared. It was very similar to the fire-type magic fireball spell, but there was a stark difference.
This fiery red cyclone condensed and did not release. It gradually covered his forearm and spread to half of his body, forming an illusory armor.
“The strength of your combat aura is already at the peak of the Iron-tier. I reckon that after a few more months of training, you’ll be able to reach Bronze-tier.”
When Vincent spoke, his face was filled with envy.
Comparisons between individuals ought not to have been made. He had spent more than ten years just to reach Bronze-tier, and had only advanced recently after eating the eggs of the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken. Watson was only ten years old, but he was already catching up to him.
“You’re learning fast, Watson, but there’s one more thing to note! Combat aura is like weapons and armor. It’s every warrior’s most precious asset. You can’t release it all at once like casting magic. Let me show you.”
Vincent picked up the Stormsword that Watson had just put down. He raised his arms and swung them toward a two-meter-wide boulder in the distance. “Ha!”.
Crack!
The rock that was a few meters away from Vincent was split into two by a fiery red sword aura. During this time, a red light flashed across Vincent’s body, but it did not cover half of his body like Watson’s combat aura.
“Continuously compress your combat aura into one point. Not only will it be more powerful, but it won’t waste your strength either. This is called ‘reaching the limit of one point, reaching the peak of perfection’! As long as you keep this in mind, you will definitely go further than me in the future. I have nothing more to teach you.”
Vincent put down his Stormsword and reached into his pocket. He took out a picture book and handed it to Watson. “This is a training method for ‘water elemental combat aura’. I’ll give it to you as a gift for completion of your apprenticeship.”
Very few warriors could train two types of combat aura at the same time. Most people who could train multiple types of combat aura were geniuses, and it was abundantly clear that Watson was such a person.
“Thank you, Big Brother.”
Watson took the picture book and noticed that his big brother had a few scars on his hands. His clothes and pants were also worn. “Big Brother, are you injured?”
“It’s nothing. You should take a look at this combat aura training book first! This book is Silver-tier. The highest it could do is allow a person to become a Silver-tier warrior. I’ve examined it carefully, and it should be suitable for you.”
Vincent retracted his hand, pretending not to care.
Watson’s nose twitched, and he felt a little sour. Vincent had not been at home these past few days, but had gone to the Misty Forest. He did not know what Vincent went there for, but now it seemed that he went there just to get that combat aura book.
Vincent only knew fire-type combat aura, and this combat aura book was obviously exchanged with someone else. Although there were often some bold adventurers in the Misty Forest who went to hunt magical beasts, it was not easy to find a person who had learned water-type combat aura, and even if he found the person, it would be difficult for them to willingly exchange it.
In addition, a few days ago, Vincent did not eat the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs on the dining table. Instead, he carefully wrapped them up. It was therefore easy for Watson to figure out what his big brother had done for him.
When he thought of his big brother bringing more than ten reluctant eggs and wandering around the misty forest, looking for an adventurer to exchange for a combat aura book, he could not help but wipe his eyes.
Seeing that Watson was about to cry, Vincent waved his hand awkwardly. “Don’t be like this, Watson. You’re making me feel embarrassed.”
Watson had given him the first set of armor and weapons that he had forged. Even if it was easy to do so, Vincent was still grateful. All he did for his eighth sibling could be considered a reward.
“I understand, Big Brother. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.”
Watson was a man of two lifetimes, and he was not going to be pretentious. He knew that learning the combat aura in that book would be the greatest reward for his big brother. He immediately opened the book called ‘Water Dragon Combat Aura’ in his hand and read it seriously.
Vincent nodded in secret after seeing Watson’s serious look.
It was common knowledge that fire and water were incompatible. Very few people could practice those two types of combat aura at the same time, but it was also very powerful. There was a famous Platinum-tier general in the Holy Dragon Kingdom who was exactly like that. He had a flame in one hand and a wave in the other. The two types of combat aura could blow up a huge mountain if they collided.
Perhaps Watson was capable of reaching such heights in the future. After thinking of what the future held and looking at the young eighth sibling, Vincent suddenly felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.
“Big Brother, look, I have condensed a trace of water-type combat aura.”
At this moment, Vincent heard Watson’s voice. He lowered his head and saw a trace of blue combat aura appearing on Watson’s left finger. It was very weak, but he immediately nodded. “Well done. Although combat aura training is always the same, to be able to condense water-type combat aura so quickly proves that your talent in this area is higher than training fire-type combat aura.”
After hesitating for a moment, Vincent thought of warning Vincent a few more words to remind him not to be hasty in his training. He saw Watson hesitate for a moment before raising his other hand. A wisp of fiery-red combat aura appeared in his hand.
Following that, Watson clapped his hands together. The two completely different combat auras of fire and water disappeared and were replaced by an even brighter combat aura that pierced Vincent’s eyes. It surrounded Watson’s body and formed a solid golden armor.
“Big Brother, it turns out that when water and fire merge together, they can turn into light. I’ve learned light-type combat aura.”
The corner of Vincent’s mouth twitched.
“By the way, I’ve also advanced to Bronze-tier warrior.”
Vincent took a deep breath, picked up the Stormsword, and turned around to leave without looking back. He had almost forgotten that his little brother was a monster. Just a moment ago, he had delusionally thought of watching Watson grow step by step and become strong. What a foolish thought.
A genius could inspire one to teach, but a monster could only cause one to fear.
“Big Brother, where are you going? Wait for me. Help me take a look at this combat aura. Is it being trained correctly?”
A voice came from behind, but Vincent walked faster.
