I wish to learn the techniques of warhammer from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly, young man, as long as you can lift that warhammer in the corner and ring the bell above it. Otherwise, even if you come from Dorne City, I can only say sorry to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the young man’s words, Humbert calmly pointed to the heavy warhammer in the corner of the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Miss Liya has explained everything clearly to me just now.\" The well-built young man slightly bowed to Humbert before turning toward the backyard corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, including Robin who was sparring with Raine, everyone gradually stopped their actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young people present frequently glanced at the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raine, do you think he can succeed?\" Robin couldn’t help but ask curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know.\" Raine shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The well-built young man gripped the hammer handle, took a deep breath, and quickly lifted the heavy, dusty metal warhammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a slight smile, as if finding the weight was not as heavy as imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, when he tried to raise the warhammer over his head to strike the bell two meters above, his expression drastically changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As observers, Raine, Robin, and the others could see clearly that when he lifted the warhammer to shoulder level, the young man’s neck veins bulged, and his face turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscles in his arms were already trembling violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared low, exerting force to lift the warhammer over his head, but unable to control his strength, he smashed it against the wall beside him before even swinging it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a pity! Even though his strength is far superior to mine, he still failed.\" Robin shook his head and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that this seemingly simple assessment was actually not easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty lay in the second step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn’t planned to learn hammer skills, one day when there was hardly anyone around, he tried it out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the Strong Lv1 support from Goblin Warrior, Raine found it quite strenuous to lift the warhammer over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, trying to gently tap the bell with the hammer, without damaging it or scraping the wall, was virtually impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be rung, but it would either damage the bell or scrape the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s face was slightly red as he bowed to Humbert and left quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though an unfamiliar young man’s appearance caused a short interlude, it didn’t affect Raine’s mood for training at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a room on the second floor of the Oak Inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine sat at a book table, illuminated by an oil lamp, diligently studying an illustrated book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with drawings accompanied by detailed descriptions, with a metallic cover on top, looking quite high-end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s actually the Mill Town Adventurer Association-produced Atlas of Common Monsters surrounding Mill Town, which Raine bought for 2 silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it doesn’t include all monsters, just 13 common types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Raine was somewhat reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking it through, since he would encounter these monsters sooner or later, he might as well get familiar with them early on to facilitate planning for future improvements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first page illustrated goblins, not mentioning mutated individuals, but pointing out that in medium to large groups of goblins, there’s typically a Goblin Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second page featured Kobold, and the third Giant Vampire Bat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine was currently looking at the ninth page, with an illustration showing a humanoid boar holding a large wooden hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Valley of Dead Water Wild Boar People, a Steel-bristled Wild Boar People subspecies, migrated to Valley of Dead Water over a thousand years ago, slightly weaker than Steel-bristled Wild Boar People, Challenge Level one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wild Boar People, truly strong indeed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine glanced at the boar-like creature’s rock-solid bulging muscles and showed a bit of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could gain the Wild Boar Bloodline’s support, his power would immediately leap up two levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pity, Challenge Level one is much higher than goblins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine sighed, slightly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, goblins’ Challenge Level is only one-eighth, like the small group of roughly 15 goblins; excluding mutated individuals, they have a Challenge Level of just about one-half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Challenge Level one Wild Boar People’s combat power is thus imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here’s a brief explanation of the Challenge Level concept - Challenge Level is a core metric for a monster’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, Challenge Level one represented the upper strength limit of a monster a standard four-person Adventurer Squad with proper cooperation could defeat without injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, squad composition and equipment differ, and some adventurer squads have three members, others five, or even six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, the above overly vague description is long outdated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current statement is straightforward and direct: a Challenge Level one monster is roughly equivalent to a fully armed Warrior Classes Level 1 individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alternatively, putting the two together in a Beast Fighting Arena for a duel, it’s highly likely they’ll end in mutual destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why the comparison is made with warriors rather than casters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not because warriors are stronger than casters, but because caster’s powers vary immensely based on the spells they master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of warriors is much more stable.\u003C\u002Fp>",1229,"2026-06-03T05:04:28.992Z","2026-06-03T05:04:32.555Z",1,"novelbin.me","05895d914d95ca46c6550f26bcb226f58d970f7f3067cc1fd8ff62264fc0362e","my-skill-bar-is-full-of-monster-skills-chapter-359","my-skill-bar-is-full-of-monster-skills-chapter-358",463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-skill-bar-is-full-of-monster-skills-cover.jpg"]
