Until now, Rein had never found a suitable opponent or place to use this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this extremely hard, gigantic Obsidian Giant before me should be… a very good target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Rein walked towards the center of the arena, he took off the pig-headed hammer he carried on his back and took a deep breath. His eyes calm, he stared at the Obsidian Giant ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Evelyn, what do you think Rein will do?” A young man who came with Evelyn asks, with a smile that isn’t quite a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He seems to be a knight who uses heavy weaponry; he’s at a serious disadvantage against the Obsidian Giant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, against the Obsidian Giant, those most advantaged would be Wizard Apprentices adept at Slow Technique or similar decelerating witchcraft. Next would be leather-clad, agile Sharpshooters, followed by Sword-Shield or Hammer-Shield Knights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for Greatsword Knights or heavy hammer knights… that’s a significant disadvantage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, dual-handed heavy hammers are even more disadvantaged than dual-handed greatswords. The heavy weight affects the speed of movement and evasion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, facing the steel-like defensive power of the Obsidian Giant, the armor-piercing dual-handed heavy hammer becomes a burden,” someone else analyzed matter-of-factly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin!” The middle-aged Great Knight shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly Earth Wizard then instantly dissolved the witchcraft clay prison, releasing the Obsidian Giant from its bonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Obsidian Giant regained its freedom, it immediately spotted ‘little Rein’ not far in front of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next second, it found that the little one had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein’s momentum suddenly burst forth, his size swelling considerably. With a push from his toes, the hard stone ground burst open a small pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he shot forward like a specter, as if his heavy knight’s plate armor and the heavy hammer in his hand weighed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the Obsidian Giant realized what was happening, it saw this ‘little one’ turn into an afterimage, charging towards its feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this… a delivery to its doorstep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Obsidian Giant spread its rocky arms, intending to grab this ‘little one’ who was running quite fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He… he’s attacking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s crazy!” A young man exclaimed with wide eyes, in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did number two learn nothing from number one’s experience?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the astonished cries of the crowd, Rein blinked under the Obsidian Giant’s feet, and with a swoosh, he leapt high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body fully extended, like a taut bowstring, Rein felt his strength transfer from his leaped toes through his hips, waist, back, and finally, concentrate into his bulging arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein fiercely unleashed the Intermediate Secret Technique—Shockwave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the dark pig-headed hammer struck the equally gleaming chest of the Obsidian Giant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike, Rein felt, was incredibly satisfying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had activated both ‘Limit Break’ and ‘Intermediate Giant Force’, releasing almost all of his strength with this thunderous blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a “boom”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound like a bomb exploding rang out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winds whipped furiously, as black stone shards shattered and sprayed around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Obsidian Giant’s chest now sported a crater-like gaping wound, practically piercing right through the hard and thick Obsidian Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an injury was too much even for the thick-skinned Obsidian Giant. It stumbled back several steps with a bewildered look in its eyes before it crashed to the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the onlookers standing dozens of meters away instinctively took several steps back, gazing in astonishment at the scene before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously composed faces of the five examiners now bore round, bulging eyes, no longer able to mask their calm demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their hearts, each was shouting, “This… this… the power of this attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s way too exaggerated! Even us seasoned Great Knights can’t do that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a Peak Knight might not be able to deal such damage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd of young people waiting to be assessed was equally astounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiona and several of her peers were, at this moment, practically popping their eyes out in disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they had heard Rein boast about his confidence in passing the assessment and thought he was just bragging; though they didn’t say anything, they had scoffed internally for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to their surprise, they had completely misjudged him; this guy’s strength was monstrous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was basically a monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how old is this kid, anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel like this level of attack power isn’t normal, shouldn’t the assessors check into it?” one young person said, her face turning red as she pointed at Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, where the hell did this guy pop up from?” a young man in a military style said to the muscular brute beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His attacking power is sick, even stronger than you, Boss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That move must be a secret technique, right? Could he be the offspring of one of the Empire’s Dukes? How could he have reached this level without being trained from a young age?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd immediately burst into ardent discussion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regaining their senses, the examiners responsible for assessing the candidates were utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The examiners had their tasks assigned; for instance, examiner number one was in charge of observing and recording the candidates’ Strength performances. Without a doubt, Rein’s display of Strength in the recent battle was outstanding among the outstanding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second examiner, responsible for recording speed performance, also found it easy to assign excellent marks, undoubtedly outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third examiner was in charge of technical performance, and since Rein had executed a secret technique, he naturally scored excellent as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examiner number four was slightly baffled. How should one score split-second reactions in battle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, this examiner didn’t know what to score, but after looking at the other examiners, he noticed they all gave full marks, so he thought it over and did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, charging directly at the Obsidian Giant was a split-second reaction… that should also be beyond reproach… right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh, outstanding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examiner number five, however, furrowed his brows into a “川” shape as he was in charge of combat decision-making. But had the candidate made any tactical decisions just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was just plain charging in, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reckless charging!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This assessment was specifically designed with the Obsidian Giant in mind, a creature with extremely strong defensive power and attack power, in the hopes that the candidates would notice its less agile body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideally, they would target lower body parts, such as ankles or knees, to gradually reduce the Obsidian Giant’s movement speed, whether through witchcraft or physical attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the normal decision-making process in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who fights like Rein, who simply smashed down with his hammer, and as a result, actually defeated the Obsidian Giant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A regular fight felt as simple as… playing house!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to discern any tactical decision-making…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examiner number five couldn’t help but ask himself a question. What’s the purpose of combat decision-making? Isn’t it to win the battle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if one is able to defeat the enemy, they should naturally go right at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there any issue with that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much contemplation, examiner number five finally concluded that this candidate’s combat decision-making should also be considered excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>",1291,"2026-06-05T17:04:14.902Z",1,"novelbin.me","528913e47c76784e1052ec73aec32d23bb10340c21ac52c4a1a9f90e86e68d93","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-544","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-542",1660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-cover.jpg"]
