BXBX NOVEL Chapter 19
His\'s handsomeness and self-confidence increased a lot after Caesar bought him new sets of black clothes and two long daggers.
At first, he felt displeasure that a child like Caesar became responsible for him in terms of training and guidance, but he soon realized how mistaken he was. Caesar\'s information and experience far surpassed him who spent a large part of his life in the dark ruins!
Especially that wondrous energy cultivation technique that Caesar taught him... it\'s simply magical! Even without energy stones, he can train at a high speed by simply sitting in a meditating position and activating it.
Within a few weeks, he found himself on the verge of breaking through to the sixth level... Although he had been stuck at the fifth for a long time already, this cultivation technique had increased his speed several times!
In addition to sitting in a meditative position daily and asking Caesar about anything he encounters about the cultivation technique, he would go to inspect Robin and see any pile about to burn out completely, then he would automatically increase it of the same type.
Although he did not realize what Robin was doing, the sight of him putting his hand in the fire to move something, or sometimes sitting on top of a burning pile of wood without being burned... It told him that this person is not normal and he certainly does not waste his time in vain, so he continued his tasks without asking questions.
The only useful thing about Robin\'s tests in his opinion currently is that he doesn\'t have to prepare any food, Robin was grilling day and night! All he has to do is bring him some salt and spices next to him and he will do the rest.
As for Robin himself, he began to make great progress in the path of fire, although finding a pure fire is impossible, he found a promising route. Robin discovered that a large part of the fire pattern is the same no matter how much the fuels change, and the other changing parts can be separated by observation and be used for reconstruction.
Meaning, if there is a certain variable part, it changes in most of the fuel piles in front of him, but it will stay identical in two or three of them, Robin decided to hunt and collect those most seen variables and determine them as the original part of the pattern.
He memorized the constant pattern of the major heavenly law of fire - which appears in every burned thing - and currently, he began to fill the gaps for the variable parts with their constants that he discovers...
He decided to reward himself with a few hours of rest after each time he found a constat... and he used this time to reach the third level of energy cultivation~
As for Caesar, he almost didn\'t move from his room, even the grilled meat Theo brings to him, he wants to gain strength as quickly as possible.. and this is what he does, he has reached the fourth level in just five months!
---------
"Caesar, Theo, come here!" Robin\'s shouted one day.
Within a moment the two of them were standing in front of him, Caesar spoke, "What do you need us for, Big Brother?"
"As far as I remember, today is the beginning of our sixth month in the institution, how much money do we have at the moment?"
"Our expenses weren\'t much, apart from your fuels and Theo\'s daggers, We brought a few more Energy Stones... We have about hmmm... 350 gold coins," replied Caesar.
"Okay, take Theo with you and go to the treasury, get the 200 for this month, the total will be enough to get you a good weapon then go buy a martial art from the institution\'s library that teaches you how to use that weapon properly ... oh, buy a martial art to teach the art of daggers to Theo too."
"Huh? But I\'ve never used weapons in my life, my fist is enough! .. Also, Theo used to use a dagger before and doesn\'t need some art to teach him. Isn\'t it better if we save this money to buy energy stones? The higher our levels, the higher our consumption will be.." Caesar said, surprised by his older brother\'s decision.
"You\'ll need a weapon to better control the major heavenly law of fire, do you think you\'ll be fighting stupid beasts forever? Pick a weapon that suits your overwhelming style of fighting. Same with Theo, his style is almost suicidal and depends on the trade-off hit-for-hit, is this a *dagger art* for You? Make him a decent fighter for me, I won\'t waste my time on him then he goes to commit suicide against some random rat."
Caesar and Theo looked at each other, then turned back to look at Robin, they both nodded and went out to carry out the surprising but exciting task at the same time.
---------
This was the second Caesar and Theo went on a little *picnic* together, but just like the first one, it wasn\'t filled with much joy... They headed straight to the weapon store nearest to the Bradley military institution to choose Caesar\'s new weapon.
He wandered in the store for about half an hour looking between swords of different shapes and sizes, swords undoubtedly are The most common and most practical weapons, but he did not feel a specific link between him and the sword.. so he decided to search for the rest of the weapons,
Bows... cleavers... hammers, and... iron fists!
Caesar was surprised and happy to see those, but he remembered Robin\'s words that he needed a weapon to wield the major heavenly law of fire in his attacks, and iron fists wouldn\'t be much different from his bare hands. So he left it in displeasure and continued the search until he arrived at the spears\' area.
In terms of extracting the brute force of the user, spears were definitely among the best, With a long-range making them more suitable for controlling the major heavenly law of fire, but there was something in the spears that irritated him..."Uncle, spears have a good range but require more accuracy for wielding and that doesn\'t suit me.. Do you have something with the same range as the spears but depends more on strength? " Caesar asked, not sure if such a thing existed.
"Oh, you mean the halberd! not many are interested in those nowadays. Come on, I\'ll show you my collection of halberds," said the shopkeeper happily, the halberd is one of the most expensive weapons.
Caesar did not know what this halberd was, but he followed the store owner to see it.. and he liked what he saw! The same length of spears with what looks like a big cleaver on top instead of the pointed tip. that\'s what he was looking for, range with strength, it\'s perfect! After going through the entire group of halberds, he pointed at the thickest one of them "I\'ll buy this one!"
"haha, You have an excellent eye, young man. This is the best halberd here.. and the most expensive of them all. It\'s 120 gold coins!" The shop owner said with a smile
"... Too expensive, but alright, I\'ll take it if you give me the two iron fists outside as a gift!"
"agreed!"
Caesar came out smiling, happy with his new weapon, then took Theo with him and headed to the institution\'s library to buy their new martial arts.
But when they got back home.... both of them had traces of beating and Caesar\'s halberd was broken into three pieces.
