Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 199 Just Do It!

When the fight resumed, Kyle charged at his opponent again.

The man with the rapier saw that Kyle was about to use Fire Trail again and suddenly became barely a meter tall.

He ducked beneath the strike and managed to avoid the Fire Trail.

Now, he could see Kyleʼs entire body.

Naturally, Kyle had been prepared for that and struck with the butt of his hammer, but the opponent easily sidestepped it and jumped up.

In the next moment, the manʼs rapier was pointing at Kyleʼs throat.

Both of them stopped moving, and then the opponent jumped away again.

Naturally, the fight was over.

ʼThis time, he used his True Body, but he didnʼt use any techniques,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼThereʼs still a lot I have to learn, but I can definitely say that I have already become stronger.ʼ

The course continued, and Kyle lost a couple more times.

Funnily enough, Kyle lost even faster than yesterday in every fight since people were no longer taking it easy on him.

They were actually using some techniques, and some of them even used their True Bodies.

ʼWell, at least they have to use something to beat me now,ʼ Kyle thought.

When the course was over, Gill gave Kyle more feedback.

Naturally, Kyle also received some more recommendations for new techniques, but none of them were cheap.

Techniques that cost ten to twenty Ether Pebbles were for Adepts. Even Fire Trail was only on the border between Adept and Fighter.

Techniques for Adepts were useful, but they couldnʼt compare to proper techniques.

Sadly, proper techniques were pretty expensive.

Techniques for Initial Fighters were generally priced between two and five Ether Stones, and the really good ones needed contribution points.

However, despite Kyleʼs lack of funds, he realized one thing.

ʼI am no longer stopped by time and opportunity,ʼ he thought. ʼDuring my journey to the south, I simply had no way to acquire techniques, and while training with Nervon, I was limited by time. I mean, we had jobs. We couldnʼt train all day, and Nervon was also busy.ʼ

ʼBut as long as I fulfill missions, I can earn money, and with that money, I can become stronger.ʼ

ʼThe only limiting factor is my willpower.ʼ

When Kyle realized that, he looked at the other Fighters in the training hall.

Their ”dances” were almost beautiful.

They had so much skill, and they looked so experienced.

In a way, Kyle felt like he was out of his depth.

He was surrounded by people who were much better than him at basically everything.

Over the past months, he had seen powerful beasts and had come into contact with Theodorʼs golems.

He had heard about the powers of Nature Gods and King Skysand.

He had seen the size and power of the Colossus.

Mountains destroyed by battles.

It seemed unreal.

It felt like the gap between Kyle and these powerful beings was like the gap between a normal human and a tsunami.

How could a normal human stop a tsunami?

It felt hopeless.

It didnʼt feel real.

How could anyone become this strong?

How could humans accomplish such monumental feats?

Yet, as Kyle looked at the other Fighters, he didnʼt feel like that.

ʼYes, they are much more skillful than me, but they are not unbeatable. With enough training and work, Iʼm pretty sure that I can overcome them.ʼ

ʼI just gotta work harder.ʼ

Kyle groaned.

ʼI fucking hate working. Thatʼs also the reason why I never went to the gym, despite paying for it every month.ʼ

Then, Kyle looked at his hammer.

ʼBut swinging this thing around doesnʼt really feel like work.ʼ

ʼWork isnʼt supposed to be this fun.ʼ

Kyle narrowed his eyes.

ʼI want to become stronger.ʼ

ʼI want to achieve something.ʼ

ʼI donʼt want to be a nobody.ʼ

ʼThe only thing stopping me is my own laziness.ʼ

At that moment, a meme from Earth popped into Kyleʼs head.

ʼJust do it!ʼ

ʼDonʼt let your dreams be dreams!ʼ

Kyle sighed.

ʼYou know, if you ignore the ridiculous nature of that video, itʼs actually pretty motivating.ʼ

ʼHeʼs actually right.ʼ

ʼJust do it!ʼ

ʼEverything is in my favor.ʼ

ʼI have the Predatorʼs Being.ʼ

ʼI have an Aristocratʼs Body.ʼ

ʼI have an old, powerful, grumpy stone in my head that speaks to me.ʼ

ʼIf I fail, itʼs either really bad luck or my own fault.ʼ

ʼJust do it!ʼ

ʼYes, I will just do it!ʼ

The next moment, Kyle walked out of the training hall and went to the cafeteria.

”Bonk, train?” Kyle asked, seeing Bonk.

”Train!” Bonk said with excitement as he stood up.

”Wyveria, Bonk train!” he shouted at Wyveria.

”Okay,” Wyveria answered without looking away from what she was doing.

For the next two hours, Kyle swung his hammer, and Bonk gave feedback.

During the training, Bonk started to move around.

He wanted Kyle to learn how to strike properly while the enemy was moving around.

Naturally, Kyleʼs performance became worse immediately, but that was to be expected.

Eventually, Bonk had to get going, but Kyle didnʼt stop training.

ʼWith my instincts, I should be able to avoid most dangerous situations in the wild.ʼ

So, Kyle walked into the wilderness to find a good opponent.

After around 20 minutes, he found an Initial Ferocious Beast.

A big pangolin.

ʼThese things look funny and scary at the same time,ʼ he thought.

He charged at the pangolin, but his goal was not to kill it.

His goal was to make his Ether Strike ability useful during battle.

The thing Bonk was teaching him didnʼt have a name. It was just about striking properly.

However, as a human, Kyle could see that this was not just about striking properly.

This was similar to an actual technique, and because of that, Kyle decided to give it a name.

Ether Strike.

Ether Strike referred to moving oneʼs Ether in this special and complex way that allowed Kyle to strike faster and stronger.

Kyle fought the pangolin, but within less than five seconds, he realized something.

This fight did not go as expected!
