YM778.TV Chapter 110 Teaching Him
It wasn\'t as heavy or grand as William\'s, but the latter knew it was enough.
"Have you watched what I was doing?" William asked in doubt, and Kong nodded.
"I may need little guidance here," Kong said, and William knew he was right. After all this technique of his was a revolutionary concept in the forging world. And it wasn\'t that simple to grasp it by just watching.
"First you need to wave your hammer… No, not just plainly wave it, you need to move it in a circular way," William started to guide Kong, starting from the initial moves up to the leg movement and the jumps.
"Don\'t just simply hit it, use your hammer as if it\'s your weapon. Use every spirit power you have to augment your strikes, and each single one must be enough to kill your enemy."
The first attempts of Kong didn\'t do the same as William\'s actions. Yet under William\'s guidance and correction of his mistakes, Kong finally managed to perform the same amazing deed of William.
Sparks of fire kept released while Kong felt excited about it.
"Don\'t push it too much, two minutes is enough. Then take five steps like I taught you, store up your spirit energy before jumping high up, hold the hammer with both hands and slam the material down with all your might."
"Got it!" Kong was stronger than William, so he felt he could keep doing this for a few more minutes than the latter.
However, William dismissed this idea. Taking more time in cleansing this material wouldn\'t yield better results.
So, it was better to save up strength and finish this process before starting another one.
"Cool, you are now eligible to join me," William nodded. He might have wasted five minutes to teach this spirit master, but in the end, it was worth the effort.
Having another hand meant halving the time needed for him to finish this task. William moved his eyes around, seemingly hoping for another spirit master to step forward and admit his intentions to help.
Yet none did. It was quite expected, and yet he was a little disappointed. After all, secondary professions in the world of spirit masters weren\'t a common thing.
Everyone focused mainly on cultivation and getting themselves stronger by training and doing external missions for the academy and the clan.
So only a handful of the grand community of spirit masters were interested in secondary professions, and forging wasn\'t the most sought out career path as well.
It needed lots of strength, tons of patience and endurance, plus a hefty sum of money to train over many ores and accept endless failure attempts.
If one was lucky and managed to forge an equipment, then selling it might pay for part of the losses he suffered during the process of learning.
Until one reached a certain level of proficiency and grade in forging, his forging career would have to be a bottomless pit for money.
Unlike alchemists for example, who just needed to roam the forest and collect herbs without costing them much.
Thus, Artisans were considered a low sought out career in the spirit master world.
Yet it was one of the most important careers in the meantime. So, each clan would decide to nourish one up to five spirit masters each decade to be Artisans.
The clan wouldn\'t matter if all of them succeeded or only few of them did. In the end, the clan would have enough to secure their supply of gears. They weren\'t after profit, and Kong seemed to be one of those lucky spirit masters.
But he was the only one here who was this lucky. William could only sigh. He didn\'t see Artisans the same way the spirit master world here did. Without good gears, how would spirit masters expect themselves to exert the full potential of their might then?
Forging might be seen as a very costly profession, but it was a must. In William\'s opinion, spirit masters without enough knowledge about appraising, forging, and alchemy weren\'t considered good spirit masters in his eyes.
"Let\'s start then," as he failed to find another one to help, the two of them started to work on cleansing this newly forged material of his.
Kong was the only one here feeling blessed to meet William. In fact, he was immersed in his forging experience, not wanting it to end.
He kept trying his hardest to train and learn how to forge good gears. Yet this was the first time he learned something this cool!
William didn\'t explain it in words to him, but from this little time he experienced moving his hammer right now, he realised it wasn\'t just a simple forging technique.
It felt like a cultivation technique, unique only for Artisans. He felt his mind was tempered with each sway of the hammer, his spirit power getting refined alongside the lump of material he was hammering one time after another.
A crazy thought then flashed in his mind. If he kept using this weird technique in forging from now on, would this also reflect changes and improvement over his spirit master grade? Would his spirit power increase? Would he grow stronger?
He didn\'t know the answer, but William did. It was just how Kong felt it.
William knew that spirit master world wasn\'t that simple. To be a strong spirit master didn\'t mean one had to be totally absorbed in cultivation and training solely.
Secondary professions weren\'t just for show. They played a great role in tempering one\'s will, power and mind, turning any weak spirit master into a real powerhouse if he followed the right path.
Imparting such novel technique over to Kong might be considered his one in a lifetime chance to ascend to supreme power later on. As for how powerful Kong would be at the end, William knew it was up to Kong himself.
