Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Although the beautiful lady did not know from where the self-confidence of the 'young man' before her originated, she glanced at Rein, nodded, and said,

"Hmm, then I will immediately gather the entire family's floating capital to place a bet."

"Also, place the more than three thousand gold coins I have with you on it as well," Rein interjected.

Originally, Rein intended to explain to the beautiful lady, but considering his current situation, it seemed difficult to clarify things in just a few words.

After a moment of thought, Rein did not provide further explanation. Instead, he took a piece of ice iron shoulder armor, placed it on a solid log, and repeated the test he had just conducted.

After all, actions speak louder than words.

Showing his own strength was the best tranquilizer for the beautiful lady.

"Bang!"

Following the dull sound!

When Rein lifted the shattered ice iron shoulder armor, beneath it the log was 'smashed into bits.' This immediately made the beautiful lady's watery eyes go wide and her cherry lips gaped open as if they could fit an entire apple.

"My... My dear, have you also advanced to a Great Knight?" the beautiful lady asked, astonished.

Although she was not skilled in martial prowess, she still had good judgment.

She had never seen such destructive force in the family knights or even in the late Baron Crowley. The strength of the blow was simply astonishing.

She could not think of any reason other than Rein's promotion to a Great Knight that could account for this level of attack power!

"Not yet, it's just that in terms of strength, I am not inferior to an ordinary Great Knight," Rein replied with a smile, shaking his head.

Rein's words immediately dispelled the beautiful lady's worries!

If before, the beautiful lady was a bit concerned that Rein was being overly arrogant and not taking Baron Norman seriously, now having seen this scene, she realized her 'young man' truly did not need to pay too much attention to what was happening on Baron Norman's side!

The last day.

Inside Rein's new residence.

Since Rein had already achieved his anticipated goals, naturally, he would not choose to stay in the blacksmith shop any longer.

Another reason was although Rein had already mastered the Giant Bear Sword Technique and the Tokkal Hammer Technique, he still wanted to fully understand their power, and the blacksmith shop was naturally not suitable for that purpose.

So, for the entire day today, he stayed in the indoor training field of his new residence.

This was one of the benefits of being promoted to Baron, having a several hundred square meter indoor training field at home; half a year ago, Rein could only enviously watch Cleya's indoor training field.

Who would have thought, so quickly, he now owned one of his own.

Rein, holding a dark and stout pig head hammer, was seen continuously striking a practice dummy clad in two layers of plate armor.

The reason for the two layers of plate armor was, naturally, because the damage from multiple shocks was too severe. If the dummy were not given two layers of plate armor, a single hammer blow would smash it into pieces.

After some time of testing, Rein had basically confirmed that under full power, he could produce triple shock damage.

And when using the secret technique...

Rein focused his gaze on the Knight (Transcendent) panel, looking at the two icons placed above 'Tokkal Hammer Technique.'

The patterns inside these two icons both depicted a strongman wielding a hammer, but with different poses.

One showed a twisting motion, swinging a two-handed hammer from below upward with his body surging forward, while the other was hoisting a two-handed hammer overhead, slamming it hard onto the ground and causing a fan-shaped fracture zone on the surface, extremely fierce!

They were the two secret techniques of the Tokkal Hammer Technique, 'Rising Dragon Hammer' and 'Earth-splitting Hammer.'

Rein stared at the small text in the lower right corner of the icons:

Rising Dragon Hammer lv3 (Secret Technique) Effect: Use a special thrusting method to swing the hammer from below upwards, delivering a blow with rotational force mixed with multiple shock powers.

Earth-splitting Hammer lv3 (Secret Technique) Effect: Use a special thrusting method to swing the hammer from above downwards, hitting the ground, producing a fierce blow with multiple shock powers.

These two hammer techniques had also been successfully upgraded to lv3, and along with them, the accompanying forces changed from shock to multiple shocks, greatly increasing their power.

After Rein's recent tests, he found that when using these two hammer techniques while in a 'Triple State,' he could inflict quadruple damage!

The Rising Dragon Hammer was one layer of spinning force plus three layers of shock power, while the Earth-splitting Hammer, being incredibly fierce, produced four layers of shock power!

In preparation for the bloody duel tomorrow, Rein reviewed the transformed strength of the 'Beast Knight' Giovanni. His extraordinary physical constitution meant his movement and strike speed would be much higher than that of an ordinary knight.

Therefore, Rein planned to stick to the idea he had at the time, which was to forego the heavy knight's plate armor and only carry a weapon to participate in the bloody duel!

In doing so, having shed two hundred pounds, Rein would essentially be able to keep up with the opponent's speed.

Moreover, for him, under the influence of Hammer Mastery lv3, his most powerful weapon remained the two-handed hammer, not the greatsword, so Rein decided to choose the hammer for battle!

And with the effect of 'Effortless Lift,' Rein believed that the heavy hammer in his hands could keep up with the opponent's striking speed.

On the day of the duel.

The beautiful lady Jennifer and Jenny accompanied Rein together, riding in a carriage to the dueling ground.
