My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 37 Azure Moon Thrust

Micah's plan was actually quite simple.

Currently, there are only four members in the front-line ranks of Dragonbreaker.

We must get everyone familiar with each other and work things out as soon as possible before we can continue with the adventure.

Although the plan was delayed because Goren and Tessa went out to join another group, now that they are back, it's time to put the plan for the members to get back together on the agenda.

"The Blackthorn Forest camp that follows will be a good opportunity."

We'd better hurry.

However, thinking of this, Micah reminded Otto.

"You seem quite adept with one-handed swords. Would you be interested in choosing an additional secondary weapon?"

With Micah's explanation, Otto gradually understood.

Adventurers who use one-handed weapons often choose a secondary weapon to pair with their equipment. This not only allows for better coordination of movements but also provides an opportunity to learn more combat skills.

"You have a strong ability to grasp combat skills. Having an extra piece of equipment shouldn't put too much pressure on you, and it will also improve your strength."

Micah hadn't originally planned to do this, but after witnessing Otto's strength and comprehension abilities, which far surpassed those of ordinary rookies, he came up with this idea.

"Of course, this is just my suggestion, not a mandatory requirement, so you don't need to take it too seriously."

"The rest, you can have a good talk with Javier."

After saying this, Micah immediately returned to his forge to prepare for work.

As for Havel, he had already come over with his wooden sword.

"Tell me, how's your Azure Moon combat technique going?"

Seeing that Otto had already returned, Javier naturally did not want to waste any more time.

As a member of the Dragonbreaker team in charge of logistics, Havel only hoped that Otto could be put to use as soon as possible.

That's why he couldn't wait to ask about his compatibility with Cangyue's combat skills.

Otto, however, truthfully reported his battle record.

Initially, Havel was relatively calm, but after hearing that Otto had used the basic swordsmanship of the Azure Moon Combat Technique to fight back and even kill many Mist Howling Wolves in the Blackthorn Forest, he completely lost his composure.

You have to understand, even Havel back then wouldn't have dared to fight those wolves with just rudimentary swordsmanship!

"See, it looks like you've already adapted."

Havel's voice trembled slightly as he said this.

But is it fair to say he's a retired adventurer?

Havel reacted quickly, regaining his composure immediately. He then took out his wooden sword, ready to begin further instruction.

"Now that you've mastered the basic sword techniques of the Azure Moon Combat Art, it's time to teach you more difficult techniques."

This time, because there was no need to demonstrate the breathing technique, Havel did not ride Otto onto the roof; he simply set up wooden stakes in the yard for the demonstration.

After the wooden stakes were in place, Havel slowly backed away.

After maintaining a certain distance from the wooden stake, Havel suddenly raised the wooden sword in his hand and aimed it at the stake.

Immediately afterwards, the moonlight erupted!

Otto saw Javier lunge at the wooden stake at incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, he pierced through the obstacle in front of him with his wooden sword!

"Is this a higher level of technique?"

Otto squinted, carefully recalling every move Havel had just made.

They quickly noticed something was wrong.

"Just now, it seems that the moonlight wasn't just concentrated on the sword."

Upon hearing this, Javier, who was still panting heavily, simply nodded.

"You're right, this is the new technique I'm going to teach you, Azure Moon Thrust!"

The key to this technique is to use two strands of moonlight simultaneously to strengthen the connection between the body and the sword, and to a certain extent, enhance explosive power.

As you've seen, that's the result.

Although it was just a wooden sword, it still pierced through the wooden stake made of the same material.

If you can learn this sword technique, you should be able to deal with many more troublesome monsters.

Javier was somewhat surprised.

I only demonstrated it once, and this kid has already seen through the key point?

However, Javier thought about it again and realized that this was actually a good thing.

After all, he only has a maximum of three strands of moonlight, so he can only practice once a day at most. The stronger Otto's comprehension ability, the less effort he will have to put in.

With that in mind, Havel immediately handed the wooden sword to Otto and began to instruct him.

Whether it was movement or breathing frequency, Havel was correcting Otto little by little.

Fortunately, Otto learned very quickly, and if Havel pointed out a mistake only once, Otto could immediately correct it.

He was far more intelligent than the novice adventurers Havel had previously taught.

However, while posing for a moment, Otto also asked Havel about his secondary weapon.

Otto also felt that he still had some strength left when using a one-handed sword, so he could indeed consider using a secondary weapon.

However, Havel did not give a direct answer to this question, but only explained some circumstances.

"Users of one-handed swords should indeed choose some secondary equipment."

There are roughly five directions to choose from.

Havel extended his hand, giving Otto an example.

Defense, damage output, control, spells, exploration.

These five categories are the factors that adventurers often consider when choosing a secondary weapon.

I chose the small round shield at the time.

It is easy to move around in, and its weight is just right, so it can be used for both defense and striking.

Furthermore, once you get used to this type of secondary weapon, you'll also have a better ability to adapt to dual swords or one-handed greatswords.

Javier tried his best to impart his experience to Otto, while Otto noted down the options one by one, intending to take advantage of the recent free time to think them over carefully.

As the two sides were teaching and learning, time passed by unnoticed and dusk arrived.

At this moment, Havel had stopped teaching Otto and stood at the edge of the courtyard.

Otto, on the other hand, held a wooden sword and aimed it at a wooden stake in the distance.

The moonlight gradually flowed over Otto's body and the blade of his sword.

The instant the two rays of moonlight completely merged, Otto suddenly opened his eyes, unleashed astonishing power from his feet, and shot towards the wooden stake!

At that moment, in Javier's eyes, Otto was like an arrow released from a bow, piercing his target!

In an instant, the wooden sword pierced the wooden stake once again!

The loud noise attracted Micah, who was working in the forge.

But when he stepped out of the house, he only saw Otto stabbing at the wooden stake, and Javier standing to the side, dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?"

Micah approached Javier and asked about the situation.

But Javier, still not quite recovered, said excitedly.

Did you see that?

When Otto used the Azure Moon Pierce, the part of the sword that pierced the wooden stake was even more than the part that I pierced during my demonstration!

This means that Otto surpasses me not only in agility, but also in strength!

This surprised and delighted Havel; their Dragon Slayer Blade seemed to have found a promising newcomer!

But after hearing Javier's assessment, Micah looked at Otto with a thoughtful expression.

Soon, as if he had made up his mind, he immediately struck up a conversation with Otto.

"It seems your training can come to an end now."

How about going out with Goren to familiarize yourself with your newly acquired techniques?

I just needed to send him out to do some things.
