Splitting Fixed Objects.
I perfectly completed the first task given by Godwin: splitting logs.
After splitting 100 logs in half and then each of those pieces again, it amounted to splitting logs 300 times.
It was a skill that consumed much more strength and stamina than the Imperial Style 8, so I felt muscle pain coming on and collapsed, utterly exhausted, on the floor.
If I hadn't received a vitality infusion from Hiresia, I wouldn't have been able to finish it all in one day.
This is why it's good to have connections.
Anyway, after finishing the first step, my proficiency increased exactly by 3%.
Considering that proficiency increases quickly at the beginning and becomes harder as one progresses to the mid and late stages, this wasn't a significant increase.
But there's a reason for that. I trained with a fixed object, an easy target.
In terms of martial arts, it's like only hitting a sandbag vigorously.
