Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 267

Everyone was silent.

"Whoa," Falk commented.

'Brah, this guy is strong!' Kyle thought in shock. 'I knew he had to be strong due to his background, but this is ridiculous!'

A moment later, Sven landed beside the group.

"I hope my skills are satisfactory," he said calmly without looking at them.

"Just barely," Kyle commented with a chuckle.

Sven furrowed his brows and looked at Kyle.

"Dude, you're really strong. I was joking, obviously," Kyle said with a laugh.

"Oh, I see," Sven said.

"Cheater!"

At that point, Lily jumped up to her feet again, tears in her eyes.

"You cheated!"

Then, she pointed at the distant Sven.

"That was a Fighter technique! You said you're a Knight!"

Kyle looked at Sven. 'Yep, looked like a Fighter technique.'

"I know some basic Fighter techniques, but I am a Knight," Sven said. "They are part of my power, just as your golems are part of your power."

"How do you know some of our techniques?" Falk asked.

"Why not?" Sven asked. "What is stopping me from learning them?"

"Eh, nothing, really," Falk said. "It's just… they're quite complex."

Sven nodded. "They are extremely complex, in fact," he said, "but I would ask you to view this from a normal person's perspective. The current techniques you use are definitely beyond the intellectual abilities of the average person, but is that true for the more basic ones?"

Falk scratched his chin. "Not entirely. It would just take a lot of hard work to comprehend them."

"In other words," Sven said. "Training, correct?"

Falk nodded. "You're saying you're spending a lot of time trying to understand our techniques?"

"Three hours every single day," Sven answered. "It takes me tens, if not hundreds, of times longer to understand and use a technique, but with enough effort, I can still learn them."

"Of course, only up to a certain point. The strongest technique I managed to learn up to now was one designed for Mid Adepts, and it took me hundreds of hours to understand it."

Kyle and Falk looked at Sven with admiration.

A technique for Mid Adepts was not difficult for them to learn. At most, it would take a day.

In fact, these techniques weren't even really worth considering for them. They had limited use.

Spending months of effort on such a technique would feel draining and unrewarding.

And yet, Sven did exactly that.

For three hours every day, he just tried to understand how the techniques worked.

Although, technically, understanding how a technique worked wasn't exactly the issue. The problem was putting the concept into numbers.

A rabbit knew that an apple would fall to the ground after disconnecting from the apple tree.

Yet, would that rabbit be able to calculate the air resistance, friction, and power of that apple?

Would the rabbit be able to put all of that into numbers?

Probably not.

Understanding techniques worked similarly.

The core concept of a technique was simple, but manipulating and moving the Ether in just the right way to achieve that effect was the hard part.

When a human saw an equation of three plus three, their mind would already tell them that the result would be six.

They didn't even need to do the equation.

This was how it worked for Fighters when they learned a seemingly simple technique.
