"Sigh..."
With the resignation of a broken pot being thrown away, Motan sighed heavily and finally gave up resistance, answering casually, "Simply put, that war halberd form just overloaded me a bit, and its weight was terrifying. Just using it for a short while completely drained my stamina."
Dabus was stunned at the time: "Terrifying weight?"
It’s worth noting that the concept of ’heavy’ is something Dabus hasn’t experienced for a long time in The Realm of Innocence. Unlike the reality outside the game, in a place where one can constantly refine their physical fitness like The Realm of Innocence, even a mid-level Thief possesses physical prowess far surpassing champions of major sports events. And as far as he knows, Silent Brother ’Mo’s strength and constitution attributes should have long surpassed triple digits. In other words, just based on his physical strength in The Realm of Innocence, he could probably lift a car single-handedly!
In such a situation, he actually claimed that the halberd, which though appeared fierce and intimidating, weighed just around a hundred pounds or so, was ’shockingly heavy’?
"That’s right, terrifyingly heavy."
Motan cautiously nodded (due to the knee pillow) and said with a wry smile, "Do you think I was dragging it around because I wanted to look cool? No, it’s just that the damn thing is so heavy that I couldn’t really manage to hold it properly."
Dabus licked his chapped lips, then suddenly widened his eyes: "Wait, if it’s that heavy, why were you dragging it with one hand? Wouldn’t using both hands be less exhausting?"
"I wish."
Motan (still cautiously) glanced at his left shoulder helplessly and sighed, "The problem is... Ah, remember those three hits I landed on you when I first switched to the war halberd?"
Dabus immediately nodded: "Of course, how could I forget? You just made Anthony’s hand go numb, and that [Burning Vajra] skill was literally dispersed by your blows!"
"Yeah, Anthony’s hand went numb."
Motan chuckled, then painfully raised his right hand to pat his left shoulder: "As for me, my left arm was dislocated and it still can’t move now, so imagine how heavy that thing was."
Dabus: "..."
Just then, Jadka, who had been silent since earlier, spoke as if reconnected after a disconnect: "Speaking of those three hits you landed, although that kind of wide-scale attack was quite impressive, I have a feeling you might have had better options at the time. Was it because..."
"Correct."
Motan (still cautiously) nodded, speaking weakly: "It’s precisely because that war halberd was so heavy. Heavy enough that I couldn’t swing it properly, making a few hits already the limit, completely unable to use it flexibly."
"So, what exactly is this weapon of yours?"
Dabus tore off his ragged instructor uniform, looking down at the unassuming Longsword beside Motan, rumored to be of [Shattered] quality, and curiously asked, "Can it transform?"
"Yep, it can transform."
Motan confirmed, then briefly explained the origin of [Dawn] to Dabus, and also reintroduced its qualities to Jadka and Ya Ya, who although had heard, were witnessing [Dawn] in action for the first time.
"Never heard of, truly never heard of."
Jadka stroked his gray beard, despite being considered knowledgeable, clicked his tongue and marveled, "I didn’t expect there were indeed weapons that could switch forms like this. If the Alchemist Association found out, they would spare no effort to research it. Ah, the world is indeed vast."
Motan smiled, saying, "If it weren’t for the fact that only I can use this thing (Soul Binding), I’d really want you guys to try it out. Honestly, I think Old Jia might be able to handle that war halberd."
"Don’t joke with me, I’m a Mage."
Jadka laughed heartily, repeatedly waving his hands and saying, "The barbaric cold weapon fighting style doesn’t suit me."
[No, regardless of whether it suits you or not, you yourself are like a very barbaric cold weapon.]
Dabus, Motan, and Ya Ya simultaneously had such a sentiment in their hearts but none voiced it aloud, as Jadka’s dedication to the Mage’s path was well-known. Now that he’s finally rejuvenated his career thanks to Ji Xiaoge’s [Spicy Burn Powder], everyone was tactful.
As for Anthony, after confirming that his ’Brother Mo’ was okay, he just craned his neck and fell asleep. Though viewed by many as an unsettling factor, in some ways, Anthony was actually a kid with a very regular lifestyle. Thus, after Ji Xiaoge organized a ’post-dinner digestion exercise,’ the child obediently returned control of his body to Dabus, promptly falling asleep.
"Overall, you could say this thing is quite perverted."
Dabus casually pulled a new uniform from his backpack, draping it over himself, and said with a smile, "If its quality were improved, I think Silent Brother ’Mo’ could even aim for a top twenty ranking."
Motan, however, outright negated the idea: "That’s impossible."
"If I’m not mistaken, that little girl with the Snow Bathing Sword ranks somewhere in the top fifteen of your Otherworlders’ power rankings, right?"
Jadka, who hadn’t watched the Comprehensive Knight Duel Tournament with Dabus, smiled and patted his shoulder, lamenting: "Honestly, while I acknowledge Motan’s immense talent, even if he were two or three times stronger, he probably still wouldn’t be a match for that little girl."
In some respects, this left the somewhat provincial Dabus stunned, saying in bewilderment: "No way? Is that Snow Bathing Sword really that strong? Didn’t she spar with Motan for quite a while during their duel?"
Motan laughed wryly, "That match was essentially a teaching session, you know, just like how a class lasts over forty minutes."
"Uh..."
Dabus furrowed his brows and continued, "Even so, didn’t Motan drag that Snow Bathing Sword girl for quite a while during the team competition? Surely she wasn’t just letting you win at that time?"
"Well, it’s not exactly ’letting,’ but I felt she was quite constrained."
Recollecting his earlier ’sniping’ of Snow Bathing Sword alongside Wang Badan, Motan sighed softly, "I reckon she was worried about accidentally slaughtering Wang Badan and me."
Jadka nodded, agreeing, "Not a ’reckon,’ I can confidently tell you that the first few minutes, that Snow Bathing Sword was holding back to avoid accidentally killing you, Motan."
Dabus: "..."
"Later, once she saw Wang Badan and me were quite resilient, she went a bit harder."
Motan laughed leisurely and, with his Physical Strength Value back to 7%, forced himself upright from Ya Ya’s thighs, shrugging, "And then she laid us both flat."
Dabus just felt his whole being out of sorts, only managing to stiffly chuckle twice after a long while, "Ha, what kind of monsters are they."
"So forget about the top twenty."
Thinking that Double Leaf, with whom he’s in an ’Undying’ battle, possesses similar strength and even ranks above Snow Bathing Sword, Motan felt a headache coming, as he rubbed his temples in frustration and casually changed the subject: "Besides, [Dawn] isn’t that easy to train anyway. I guess you’ve already experienced it, Dabus. Apart from that war halberd form I can’t handle, neither the sword nor spear form of [Dawn], which is only [Shattered] quality, possesses any Attack Power. And once you switch weapons midway, the experience resets to zero, making it practically impossible to upgrade its quality."
"Uh, did our sparring session just now add experience? Can you see how much it added?"
"Yes, I can see it now."
"How much did it add?"
"For the sword form, it’s 0.18%."
"How much??"
"Zero point one eight percent."
"..."
