It proved that the axe was moved solely with the old man's strength. The old man looked weak with white hair, and he must be at least eighty years old. Wilbur did not expect him to chop the wood in halves with just one swing.
"You're not angry at me now, are you?"
"No, I won't be angry at you. I know that I'm not good enough."
Wilbur's resentment vanished at that moment. He did not know how an old man who was at least eighty years old could chop the wood in half with pure physical strength. However, it happened right before his eyes. If the old man could do it, surely he could do the same.
Wilbur realized that finding the eighth dragon cauldron would not be an easy task. Since the old man was willing to help him, he should not complain. For the next two weeks, Wilbur practiced chopping wood daily. Two weeks later, Wilbur forcefully swung the ax, and he finally split the wood in half.
"I did it! Sir, I did it!"
Wilbur picked up the wood and ran toward Lake Brant excitedly. The old man looked at the wood and nodded, saying, "Yeah, this is nice. It looks like your physical strength has improved greatly."
Wilbur asked with excitement, "Can you tell me where the eighth dragon cauldron is now, sir?"
The old man replied, "The eighth dragon cauldron is beneath the lake, but you can't go down there yet. You have enough strength, but not enough agility."
"Agility?"
"That's right. Agility."
"What do you mean?"
