Chương 26: Storming the Central forest (Part 2)

'Dual wielding'

A rather sought after ability for sword users in old times, using it superficially was easy for skilled users.

However, it wouldn't be useful in practical battle, one needed to be in possession of a certain ability.

'Ambidexterity', the ability to use both hands equally well!

There were two ways to achieve this ability.

The first way was to possess it inherently, similar to an innate talent which didn't require much effort to gain as you would be born with it. while the other way was to train enough to achieve it.

The only problem was that training this when your body have already grown up, changing its muscle memory would be hard.

So, if one wanted to train to achieve this ability, it would take a lot of time, at least, it couldn't be done in a week.

As such, why would I try to train in 'Dual wielding'?

because I have thought of a certain possibility, if one was to think a little illogically and try to have a 1 year old child train this ability, would it be possible then?

The answer would be, yes, but only if that child had the intelligence of a 15~20 adult.

Then, wouldn't I fit this criteria? Wasn't my body a clean slate just 2 months ago? Wouldn't I be able to achieve this ability in the least time possible?

After six days of continuous attacks on the ape habitats, I was able to get the principle of of dual wielding to some point, but I still wasn't able achieve 'Ambidexterity'.

I was held by a very thin threshold, and after trying to breakthrough it so far, I was able to reach a conclusion.

I had to fight a battle of life and death to cross the last threshold. So, I decided to battle the Ape king.

I didn't have to actually kill him, all I had to do was battle him till the battle reached a critical state, and try to reach my goal of adjusting under pressure. And tomorrow, was the day I have finally decided to do it.

As I have already slain close to the target of 100 apes prior to today without mastering 'Dual Swordsmanship', I decided to gain the title's Intimidation ability before heading to battle the ape king.

All of this was to prepare to finish off my much stronger wolf targets with the help of the mastered 'Dual Swordsmanship'

So, after targeting The last Ape inhibited habitat on my list, I retreated to my temporary house.
