Chapter 225: Ultimate Technique!
Chapter 225: Ultimate Technique!
The black-cloaked lady, Zenina, looked at Jonistan in surprise, as if asking, "What? Is this Ren famous?"
Jonistan pondered for a moment and confirmed again, "Is this the Fishing Harbor Town Executive Officer Ren? The young man who's skilled with a two-handed war hammer?"
Zenina carefully recalled the situation, although she felt that Jonistan's description had some discrepancies.
But after thinking about the location where she and Vexman had found the other party, which was indeed inside the Fishing Harbor Town Administrative Hall, she nodded in agreement with Jonistan's statement.
"That's him!" Jonistan stood up, rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth in the not-so-spacious room, deep in thought.
Who exactly is this person?
Why did both Nehru and Vexman encounter setbacks dealing with this Ren?
Nehru's case could be understood, as the Dragon Empire Navy's Special Squad was present at the time, which was within a reasonable range.
But when Vexman attacked the other party, he even got himself involved, which left Jonistan puzzled.
Could it be that the other party is the son of a Duke or a powerful Marquis of the Dragon Empire, with special defensive measures in place?
Otherwise, Jonistan couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.
"If that's the case, it will be difficult for us to rescue Vexman."
"It seems that I must immediately report this situation and my analysis to the higher-ups for their decision!" Jonistan muttered, unable to determine Ren's background for the time being.

Fishing Harbor Town Administrative Hall.
Ren followed Veronica to her resting room in the Administrative Hall.
As soon as he entered the room, Ren smelled a faint scent of white sage, which gave off a soothing and relaxing feeling.
At that moment, Veronica, slightly shy, closed the door. Her golden twin-tails swayed as she said, "Ren, I need to remove the torn fabric from your body, and this process might be a little painful."
"But this is a necessary step before performing the water therapy spell, which will help you recover faster and better."
Although Ren had removed his water film steel chest armor, the torn undergarments and strips of cloth were stuck to his body due to bloodstains and sweat.
"Of course, this little pain is nothing." Ren smiled.
Veronica quickly approached, her cheeks flushing slightly, and extended her fair hands. She carefully began peeling off the strips of cloth from Ren's body, her movements gentle and meticulous.
The twin-tailed girl's meticulous actions almost made Ren feel no pain at all, but instead, he felt a tingling sensation on his skin.
As he inhaled the faint scent from the girl, and watched her focus on her task, Ren couldn't help but lower his head and carefully examine Veronica.
The girl had thick, golden hair tied into simple twin-tails, giving her a cute and playful look.
From his vantage point, Ren couldn't see her beautiful eyes, but he noticed her nose, dotted with fine beads of sweat, small and fair.
Combined with her flushed face, she exuded a youthful aura.
Following her slender and fair neck downward, Ren's gaze fell upon two trembling mounds that strained against the loose, light blue apprentice robe, creating a wonderfully curvaceous silhouette.
This sudden, undulating curve would inevitably draw one's attention, and Ren was no exception.
This had nothing to do with anything else; it was purely a person's appreciation and yearning for beautiful things.
At that moment, the twin-tailed girl had just finished cleaning the torn fabric from Ren's chest, and as she asked him to turn around, she looked up and caught Ren's gaze as he examined her.
Following Ren's gaze, the girl looked down and saw her fair skin, causing Veronica's face to turn crimson.
However, the girl didn't tighten her collar but instead spoke confidently, "Ren, I'm going to clean your back now."
Ren felt a little embarrassed and coughed, "Thank you, Miss Veronica." He quickly turned around.
The twin-tailed girl continued cleaning Ren's back, and soon, his body was completely clean.
The girl surveyed her work for a moment, and her face lit up with satisfaction. She nodded and said,
"Ren, I'm about to cast the water flow spell, and it might be a little painful, but after I cast the water therapy spell, it won't hurt anymore, and your wounds will heal quickly."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Ren nodded.
The girl recited her incantation, and soon, a faint blue energy began to swirl around Ren's body. A thin, bowl-sized stream of water appeared out of thin air, coiling around Ren's body and gently washing away the bloodstains and dirt.
With a snap of the girl's fingers, the murky water, carrying the dirt, flowed into the nearby sewer.
Immediately afterward, the girl continued her incantation, casting the water therapy spell.
A dense energy enveloped Ren, seeping in from all directions into his wounds. The wounds began to grow and repair rapidly, and in just seven or eight seconds, Ren found that over a dozen wounds on his body had already healed.
Ren, now fully healed, exuded a masculine charm with his muscular physique, seemingly emitting a faint glow that made the twin-tailed girl unconsciously caress him with her fair fingers, muttering, "Such a nice touch!"
Sensing the girl's delicate body so close and hearing her words of apparent affection, Ren couldn't help but feel a surge of desire.
It had been a while since his last intimate encounter with Lady Crowley, and his physique had recently improved.
Ren instinctively placed his hand gently on the twin-tailed girl's waist.
As the saying goes, 'A man's head, a woman's waist,' one should not touch it lightly.
The twin-tailed girl's body stiffened, but she showed no signs of dodging or rejection. Instead, she lifted her head and looked at Ren with her watery, big eyes.
At this moment, without the need for many words, Ren gently pulled the girl into his embrace. He lowered his head, covering her luscious red lips.
Just as the two were intimately engaged, a knocking sound suddenly echoed from outside the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The twin-tailed girl, startled like a frightened rabbit, quickly jumped out of Ren's embrace.
"Baron Ren, how is your injury doing?" Marika Lieutenant's voice came from outside the door.
Their first intimate moment was abruptly interrupted.
The next morning, at the break of dawn.
Near the outer edge of the Maister County Coastal Sea, on a remote island.
Nehru was at the entrance of a cave, enjoying a feast. In front of him, a fire pit held an iron plate with fist-sized, pale golden soft-bodied creatures resembling oysters, emitting a tantalizing aroma.
Suddenly, a familiar crow flew down, flapping its wings.
Nehru was delighted to see it, assuming that Vexman had successfully completed their agreement.
Although this guy often demanded too much, his capabilities were unquestionable.
Not only did he have an extremely high success rate, but he also rarely delayed, quickly fulfilling agreements. This was why Nehru, despite the pain, agreed to his almost doubled price after much consideration.
The crow perched on Nehru's shoulder, and the next second, Nehru's expression changed dramatically!
"What! Did Vexman fail?" Nehru exclaimed in surprise.
The crow, startled by Nehru's sudden outburst, squawked and quickly flew away.
Nehru lost his appetite for the golden oyster meat sizzling on the fire. He stood up with a grim expression, gazing at the distant sea, deep in thought.
On one hand, he was shocked that Vexman had failed, but on the other, he was most annoyed that Vexman hadn't even managed to escape!
This was a real pain in the ass!
He had initially decided not to report to his superiors to save trouble and had only discussed the matter with Vexman.
If Vexman was dead, the situation would be simpler, and Nehru would face punishment at most.
However, if Vexman was still alive, the Federal Navy would undoubtedly attempt a rescue, which meant Nehru would need to clean up the mess.
Normally, no one would interfere if their special squad members conducted private business as long as it didn't cause trouble for the Federation.
But if problems arose and they couldn't resolve them, it would be a different story.
Sighing, Nehru realized he had no choice but to contact his captain immediately.
Meanwhile, a squad of six, dressed in robes and knight armor, quickly disembarked from the Harbor Town pier and headed straight for the town hall.
Despite their varied attire, their aura and sophisticated weapons indicated their extraordinary nature.
Half an hour later, in the Harbor Town Administrative Hall's reception room.
A middle-aged man was speaking to a group, including Ren, gathered around a long conference table:
"Baron Ren, Admiral Campbell, the commander of the South Sea Fleet, has heard of your potential capture of the assassin who targeted Generals Juquin and Bravo. He is very appreciative of your efforts."
"Our purpose here is twofold: to escort the suspect to the base and to inquire about your thoughts, Baron Ren."
Apparently concerned about his lack of clarity, the middle-aged man added, "The commander specifically instructed me to consider your reasonable requests."
"Thank you for the Dragon Empire Navy's recognition. It was my duty."
"As for the reward, if it's convenient, I've been searching for metal-related magic. Currently, I only know the Sharpened Shot, a metal magic. Learning a new metal magic would be most welcome."
"Metal magic?"
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows in thought for a moment before responding, "Baron Ren, metal magic above level one is classified as an imperial secret, and I can't recall many below level one. I'll have to check again after returning."
"Your Excellency, do you have any other requests as alternatives? If not, I don't want you to go back on your word to Admiral Campbell." The middle-aged man smiled.
Ren chuckled and said, "If there really aren't any alternatives, then please help me find an Extraordinary Skill related to daggers."
Ren had already thought of a backup plan because, last night, Trevor had mentioned that even in the Navy's special item exchange list, metal-type wizardry was rarely seen.
"I've noted your alternative request, Your Excellency Ren," the middle-aged man said, turning to Lieutenant Marika. "The task for the special forces team is almost done. According to fleet orders, you all will return with us later."
Hmm? Marika and Veronica were leaving? Ren was both surprised and regretful.
He knew this day would come eventually; after all, all good things must come to an end. The joint operation between the South Sea Fleet and Minster Province would eventually conclude.
"Alright, Your Excellency Brooks," Lieutenant Marika glanced at Ren before turning to the middle-aged man.
Veronica's beautiful eyes lingered on Ren for a few seconds, conveying a subtle reluctance to leave.
After the meeting, Ren and Lemann bid farewell to the escort team and Lieutenant Marika at the entrance of the Administration Hall.
Watching Veronica's departing figure, Ren felt a bit agitated. Although they had exchanged contact information, he didn't know when they would meet again.
Upon returning to his room, Ren decided to study the Ultimate Technique seriously as a way to divert his attention.
Ren recalled the conversation he had with Captain Balon of the Leviathan Squad, who had advised him to focus on enhancing his breathing technique and practicing quasi-ultimate techniques to understand the intricate fusion of Essence and moves.
To unleash an Ultimate Technique, two conditions must be met: accumulating Essence over an extended period to reach the minimum requirement for casting, and comprehending and controlling Extraordinary Skills.
Finally, by seamlessly combining both aspects, one can successfully execute an Ultimate Technique.

At this moment, Ren felt an even deeper understanding of Balon's words.
After adding a point to his breathing technique, Ren noticed a significant improvement in the generation speed and overall quantity of Essence within his body.
However, this increase in Essence would disrupt the near-perfect harmony between the two, requiring further adjustments. This was the significance of Balon's advice to practice extensively.
It was time for Ren to carefully contemplate the harmony between his Essence and moves.
"According to Captain Balon's estimate, even with my talent, it would take at least half a year to reach the minimum Essence requirement for unleashing an Ultimate Technique. This means that if I can meet the requirement sooner by adding points to my breathing technique..."
"The rest is a process of continuous fine-tuning between Essence and moves."
"In other words, I might be able to master the Ultimate Technique by adding just a little more to my breathing technique, without needing to spend any Golden Skill Points."
After figuring this out, Ren decided to add a point to the Bear King Breathing Technique.
As the technique leveled up from lv11 to lv12, a flood of memories related to the Bear King Breathing Technique surged into Ren's mind.
Ren stood still, carefully absorbing these memories of practicing the breathing technique, and soon, they became an innate part of his muscle memory.
When Ren opened his eyes again, it was as if he had undergone years of rigorous training in the Bear King Breathing Technique!
He could feel his blood circulation accelerating, and his body seemed to be enveloped in a furnace, providing him with a torrent of heat and a mysterious transformation.)
At the same time, the Essence within him, originally as thick as a pinky finger, gradually thickened to the size of a thumb, swirling around his body.
Ren could clearly sense the enhancement of his Essence and the immense power building up within him, ready to burst forth.
He felt that he had met the minimum Essence requirement to unleash an Ultimate Technique.
Next, with some practice in Tokkar Hammer Technique, he might be able to comprehend the true hammer Ultimate Technique at any moment.
Without hesitation, Ren left his room and quickly made his way to the backyard. However, he was surprised to find that, due to the previous night's battle, the backyard was still under repair. A group of people were leveling the ground, clearing stones, and performing various tasks.
After some thought, Ren turned and left the Administration Hall, heading towards the coast near the Fishing Harbor Town.
Walking along the shoreline, listening to the crashing waves, Ren soon found a secluded spot on a soft sandy beach.
Aside from the fine sand, one corner of the beach featured tall gray reefs that had withstood the fierce tides for centuries.
The soft parts of the massive reefs had long been eroded by wind and seawater, leaving behind a smooth surface akin to marble, incredibly hard.
Ren surveyed the area, ensuring no one was paying attention to this secluded corner of the beach. Then, he drew the dark pig-headed hammer from his back and began practicing the Tokkar Hammer Technique with abandon.
One after another, Ren practiced the Giant Hammer Smash, Giant Hammer Leap, and Giant Hammer Sweep on the beach!
Hours passed.
Ren's mind became increasingly clear, and his understanding of hammer techniques deepened and refined.
"Dragon Ascension Hammer!"
With a slight tap of his toes, the fine sand splashed in all directions. Ren, like a bolt of lightning, rushed towards the sea. He struck the oncoming waves from bottom to top, creating a spiraling water tornado!
At the same time, due to the absence of waves, a gap of several meters appeared in front of him!
But it didn't end there. Ren leaped into the air, stretching out his limbs and raising his heavy hammer. His entire body became like a taut longbow, and he struck down with tremendous force.
"Earthsplitting Hammer!"
The waves that had just surged back were instantly scattered in all directions at an even faster speed!
"Boom!!!"
A huge water cavity with a diameter of ten meters appeared in front of Ren.
In an instant, Ren grasped that unique feeling!
The exquisite combination of essence and hammer techniques!
Ren turned around and walked step by step to the side of a three to four-meter-high, solid reef. He recalled that feeling and swung his pig-headed hammer, delivering a simple and ordinary hammer strike!
"Clang!"
The dark pig-headed hammer slammed into the gray reef, weighing at least several tons. The next second, "Crash!"
The gray reef shattered and collapsed, especially the part struck by the hammerhead, which turned into powder!
A system notification quietly appeared:
[Congratulations, you have comprehended the Tokkar Hammer Technique Basic Ultimate Technique: Shockwave!]
Ultimate Technique - Shockwave?
A smile appeared on Ren's lips.
Immediately, the delighted Ren saw a new icon on the Weapon Master (Legendary) panel, located above the two secret techniques of Tokkar Hammer Technique: Dragon Ascension Hammer and Earthsplitting Hammer.
This icon was larger and more lustrous, with a more intricate pattern. The icon depicted a hammer striking the ground, with curved lines in front of it, seemingly representing the waves of a powerful shockwave.
In the lower right corner of the icon, there was a small line of text:
Shockwave (Basic Ultimate Technique) Effect: Utilize a special exertion method that combines essence with multi-shock force, swinging the heavy hammer to deliver a strike with high-frequency vibrations.
(Note: Shockwave is an Ultimate Technique and cannot be improved through skill points.)
(To upgrade Shockwave to an Intermediate Ultimate Technique, the following conditions must be met: 1. Tokkar Hammer Technique lv14 or higher (Hammer Mastery can offset part of the level requirement); 2. Bear King Breath Technique lv14 or higher. 3. Consume 1 Golden Skill Point.)
Consume 1 Golden Skill Point?
Ren couldn't help but be surprised as he read this.
At the same time, he felt a little relieved that he had previously kept this Golden Skill Point.
After all, Golden Skill Points are hard to come by.
To encounter and defeat strong enemies to obtain them is a rare opportunity, and the uses of ordinary skill points are extensive. It would be too extravagant to combine three ordinary skill points into one Golden Skill Point.
Additionally, Ren looked at the phrase 'Hammer Mastery can offset part of the level requirement' and became thoughtful.
Perhaps this is one of the important reasons why the Weapon Master can be classified as a legendary level.
Having level 1 mastery in all weapon categories means that learning the ultimate techniques of other supernatural skills will be much easier for him than for others.
From another perspective, under similar conditions, he can master ultimate techniques in advance!
This is the true value of the Weapon Master's exclusive talent, 'Basic Weapon Proficiency (Passive)'.
When Ren returned to the Fishing Harbor Town Town Hall.
The Lemann brothers had been waiting at the door.
Seeing their expressions, Ren's heart stirred slightly. "What happened?"
The older brother, Corbett Lemann, shook his head, his eyes revealing a hint of reluctance. "Baron, the transfer order issued by Count Habsburg has just arrived. The messenger said that I will take over as the Fishing Harbor Town Magistrate, while Knighton will become the Sheriff, and you will be reassigned to the county."
"Baron..."
Upon hearing this news, Ren was taken aback, but then he laughed.
"This is good news. I hope you two will govern the Fishing Harbor Town even better."
A few days later, Ren rode his tall black horse, declining the escort of the Lemann brothers, and set off alone towards Maister County City.
At this time, the Snow Moon had finally passed, and the snow in the fields began to melt gradually. Some green shoots had already emerged impatiently from the soil, and the Vitality Moon arrived.
The morning sky was particularly bright, and the warm morning sun shone on Ren, casting a golden glow. As he rode forward, Ren gazed at the winding road in the distance.
In the vast wilderness, the winding road seemed to symbolize that Ren's path ahead was not a smooth and straight avenue.
However, a phrase suddenly came to mind.
Where there's a will, there's a way!
