"Did you get it? Can you chop firewood now? Or do you want to chop a few more tis for you?"
At this mont, the Village Chief Uncle turned around and asked Mu Jinyu with a dissatisfied tone.
"Huh?" Mu Jinyu snapped out of his thoughts and quickly said, "Well, I still don't quite understand it. Master, can you chop a few more tis for ?"
It wasn't that he didn't understand. The swift and clean chop by the Village Chief Uncle had long been etched in his mind, able to be replayed at any mont.
But since the Village Chief Uncle himself offered to chop a few more tis, why should he miss the opportunity?
Maybe the Village Chief Uncle's next chops might be different from the first one, showing so other techniques.
Which would an he would gain even more!
"Hmm?!"
The Village Chief Uncle was briefly stunned hearing Mu Jinyu's words, then frowned tightly, clearly displeased.
However, since he offered to chop a few more, he didn't go back on his word.
So, he gripped the firewood knife and turned to look at another piece of wood, chopping it in one stroke!
"Swish!"
The blade glead, and the piece of wood was instantly split in half by the Village Chief Uncle, falling to the sides.
"Did you understand now?"
The Village Chief Uncle turned to Mu Jinyu, asking with a solemn expression.
Mu Jinyu's expression remained unchanged, but he was absolutely delighted inside.
The Village Chief Uncle's second chop just then was indeed different from the first, with a different core essence. There were now two knife shadows in his mind that he firmly morized.
Hearing the Village Chief Uncle's question, Mu Jinyu hoped to learn another technique, so he shook his head and said, "Still don't get it!"
"A rotten piece of wood can't be carved!"
The Village Chief Uncle shook his head vigorously, tossed the firewood knife to Mu Jinyu, and said, "If you can't understand, just forget it. Try chopping like I did first!"
Finished, he stord back into the house, disappearing from Mu Jinyu's view.
Mu Jinyu, seeing this, caught the firewood knife thrown by the Village Chief Uncle with a wry smile.
'Sigh, such a pity, I only got to learn two chops!'
Mu Jinyu couldn't help but regretfully mutter to himself.
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu dispelled this regret, collected himself, and then gripped the firewood knife, stepping forward to the front of the wood.
"Thunk!"
Standing in front of the wood, he didn't imdiately lift the knife to chop. Instead, he refreshed in his mind the first chop the Village Chief Uncle made, before exhaling lightly, his gaze gradually sharpening.
"Slash," in an instant, Mu Jinyu swung the knife toward the wood in front of him!
"Crack!"
Then, twisting his wrist, he swung horizontally again.
"Crack!"
With cross and vertical chops, he cut out a cross, accompanied by two cracking sounds as the sturdy wood fell in pieces!
"Hah!"
Mu Jinyu lightly shouted, seizing the montum to chop at another piece of wood!
This ti, he used the second chop taught by the Village Chief Uncle.
With a "crack," the wood in front collapsed to the sides!
"Not bad!"
"You've got quite the comprehension; keep chopping. I'll go make dinner!"
Then, the Village Chief Uncle ca out of the cabin, glanced at Mu Jinyu who had chopped two woods, and casually praised him before picking up a heap of chopped wood and heading back inside.
Mu Jinyu, seeing this, felt a little confused.
Thinking to himself, hadn't he already learned the two chops taught by the Village Chief Uncle, and since the Village Chief Uncle wasn't planning to teach a third chop, why hadn't the comprehension assessnt ended?
No, maybe it's not that comprehending the martial techniques and divine skills taught here ends the assessnt.
This scene might be an opportunity, allowing the person undergoing the assessnt to learn inside for an hour.
Within this hour, if lucky, who knows, a lot of divine skills and martial techniques could be learned!
Thinking thus, Mu Jinyu hesitated.
Since he had learned these two chops, should he stay and chop more for the Village Chief Uncle?
Or should he look elsewhere, maybe learn more divine skills from soone else?!
Mu Jinyu hesitated, taking a glance back at the village, noticing it was becoming more and more blurry.
But Mu Jinyu guessed that if he approached, it might beco clear, just like when he first saw the Village Chief Uncle.
But…
Mu Jinyu gripped the firewood knife in his hand, feeling its weight quite heavy, sothing he couldn't quite wield as effortlessly as the Village Chief Uncle. Besides, after just those two chops, his hands were still sore and uncomfortable!
Although he had learned these two chops, continuous chopping was needed to truly master them.
"Forget it, learning a lot isn't as good as mastering a few! Better stick to refining these two chops first. Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
Mu Jinyu's indecisive heart soon cald down.
He stopped thinking about running around learning other divine skills and martial techniques.
After all, he still had a little less than an hour to learn and master these two chopping techniques properly, preparing for the practical test later!
He could just master them for use in the practical test against opponents!
Better than learning a range of divine skills but eventually being interrupted by soone due to lack of proficiency!
At this mont, Mu Jinyu was quite happy, not because he learned these two chops.
But because he had always believed his fast learning cultivation talent might co from the Dragon Clan's Bloodline.
Yet now he had already severed the Dragon Clan's Bloodline, turned into a pureblooded human, and his comprehension was still good, indicating that part of his talent didn't rely stem from his bloodline.
This also gave his pureblood human physique confidence whether he could walk the path based on human abilities, all the way to the end.
After all, if severing the Dragon Clan's Bloodline led to loss of comprehension, then when he reaches the final dead end faced by his human predecessors, how could he carve his own path?!
Yet his comprehension still existed, representing endless hope and possibilities!
It indicated that he wasn't just limited to learning from others, or following well-trodden paths — he can carve out his own realm!
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Thinking this way, Mu Jinyu chopped contentedly and joyfully, and his speed increased, becoming more proficient in the two chopping techniques.
But after chopping ten or more tis, Mu Jinyu felt his wrist ache, finding it hard to handle the firewood knife!
"Phew..."
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but stop chopping and lightly pant, taking a rest first.
After resting for about a minute, although his wrist remained sore, Mu Jinyu felt he couldn't waste ti. The ti here was extrely precious, so he continued to laboriously chop the wood.
"Sigh, you indeed still don't quite get it. Holding the knife and chopping like this, how can it not tire you out? Co, let show you how to lift heavy as if it's light, and chop effortlessly!"
After Mu Jinyu had been chopping for ten or more minutes, the Village Chief Uncle ca out again, frowned, and said to Mu Jinyu.
But his tone was considerably better than his earlier displeased attitude.
Mu Jinyu, hearing this, panting slightly, turned to the Village Chief Uncle, his expression showing delight.
Unexpectedly, the Village Chief Uncle was coming out again, willing to teach him more wood chopping. Indeed, he made the right bet!
Focusing on chopping firewood was indeed no worse than running off to learn new skills from others!
