The Birth of Amun (Part 2)

  What surprised Ah Meng was that he tried his best to follow the old madman's method, and it actually worked. What was even more surprising was that the first person to awaken the two-faced power was Lin Ke. By the time Lin Ke had almost mastered the low-level earth element magic, but lacked the skill of proficiently grasping and coordinating its use, Mai Danzuo's power still hadn't been awakened.

  Amun carefully analyzed it and felt that it was not because Medanzo's qualifications were inferior to Link's, but rather that he had already left a deep impression on the divine technique. To eliminate the preconceptions in his mind, it was not easy to focus on awakening the power of both sides. Some things are not something you can just forget about by saying so.

  Link is quite interesting, he originally didn't know what divine art and body art were, and was directly used by Ghirahim as a "test subject". He knows a bit of the most basic earth element divine art, which is equivalent to not having crossed the threshold of the ritual yet, but the accumulation has been sufficient. Ghirahim doesn't know what to teach him first, so he simply teaches Link the mining techniques of Goron City, and since Link already knew some, it was easy for him to grasp, and then performing the power awakening ritual was a piece of cake.

  Then it was easy to teach Link, starting with the earth element divine technique he was already familiar with. Link had been practicing blindly for so many years and didn't lack "magic". Amun supplemented all the low-level earth element divine techniques, and soon Link could wield his bone stick to cast various low-level earth element divine techniques. Amun then taught him the simplest healing divine technique in the blessing divine technique.

  Nor can one wear a "God Amun" hat for nothing, and healing magic is most useful in such tribes.

  Amon saw that Lin Ke was almost at the level of a first-class divine master, so he told him: "In order to better grasp the divine technique or use it in emergency situations, you can use a staff, but usually when cultivating 'divine power' or practicing various divine techniques, try not to use a staff."

  The old madman told Armon like this at first, and Armon told Link in the same way, but forgot one thing: the bone stick with a common divine stone embedded on it was far from comparable to his staff, so reminding him of this was somewhat unnecessary.

  Amon is far more mature than the average child, and his personality is absolutely calm, but after all, he is still a young man. He teaches Link and Medli divine magic, which seems to have some playful elements from an outsider's perspective. Link was able to succeed, somewhat by chance, and Medli was also successful by chance.

  Mei Danzuo had some doubts at first, after all, the impressions of many years were hard to eliminate in his heart. But when he saw Lin Ke waving a bone stick and performing various earth element magic, he thoroughly believed in Ah Mon, without any hesitation, and wholeheartedly followed Ah Mon's instructions to awaken the power with the help of the Earth's Pupil. About ten or so days later, he succeeded too.

  Mai Danzuo and Lin Ke were unaware that Amon had only cultivated water and air elemental magic before meeting them, and fire elemental magic was just beginning to be practiced. Amon's process of imparting his knowledge to the two of them was also a process of self-cultivation. However, Amon discovered that with the same magic, such as earth elemental magic, he learned much faster than Lin Ke, to the point where Lin Ke didn't even realize that Amon was cultivating himself while teaching him.

  It was only in the environment of the wild tribe that Amun could successfully deceive, if outside, an experienced divine would be able to see through Amun's true nature at a glance.

  Amon saw that they had both awakened their powers, so he took back the Earth's Pupil and taught them a few low-level divine techniques to practice on their own. He also made some requests, such as silently condensing a layer of ice on the ground. Amon was just speaking from his own experience, but it was a difficult task for these two guys. That was an eighth-level grand magic test specifically designed for Amon.

  The teacher himself is still in a state of confusion, and the students are even more likely to get into trouble. One day, Lin Ke was studying fire element magic, and he accidentally burned down his own house, and it was particularly clean. Amun quickly taught him water element magic again, with the purpose being - just in case something happens again to put out the fire.

  Awakening the power of both sides at the same time, also awakened the desire for both sides. There is no cold spring to bathe here, Ah Mon was very straightforward, letting them exercise spiritual concentration and introspection every day, quietly experiencing the restless turmoil that cannot be swayed by it. If they really had nowhere to vent their energy, they would go mountain climbing and hunting!

  The tribespeople were astonished to discover that their venerable tribal chief had changed into a completely different person, becoming the bravest warrior, personally leading the robust men of the tribe to go hunting in the mountains. Moreover, they brought back the most prey, leaving everyone in awe! It seems that after the arrival of the divine messenger, even the tribal chief was summoned by the power of the gods, and he wanted to offer sacrifices to the gods with his own hands.

  As for Maidanzo, he has been particularly irritable and eager to find someone to "compare notes" with, but who in the tribe can beat him? So he always finds Link to "compete". Maidanzo is after all a mid-tier warrior, and Link uses his staff to cast some slow techniques, trapping techniques, earth shield techniques and other earth element divine techniques that he is most skilled at, and can still entangle for a while. Once Maidanzo gets close to him, it's a nose-blue face-swollen outcome.

  Not long after, Link was no longer interested and left Midna to play on her own. Later, Midna discussed something with Link, which piqued his interest, so they went to find Ghirahim together.

  When is a person most impulsive and daring, feeling fearless of heaven and earth, and daring to rush into any disaster? It's Lin Ke and Mei Dianzuo now, who have just grasped unprecedented power and are bursting with energy that can't be released. Mei Dianzuo remembered the experience of encountering danger by the water pool last time, felt very unwilling, and wanted to pull Lin Ke to go again.

  Last time, he alone could withstand three large iron-clad beasts. It's said that the Ironclad Beast King is equivalent to several large iron-clad beasts. Now that he has learned divine magic and with Link's help, who also knows divine magic, they should be able to take care of everything. As a child, he heard stories about heroes in myths challenging various monsters. Now that the situation has arisen, he wants to emulate the heroes in those stories.

  Link is more steady, although he also wants to go but is afraid of trouble. After discussing it with each other, they think that inviting teacher Amun to preside over the situation would make everything foolproof. So they come to persuade Amun to go together.

  Ammon listened to the two students' idea and frowned, asking: "What do you want to go and do? Dig up dung?"

  Lin Ke replied, "It's just a trial, and there are no other opponents in this mountain."

  Mei Danzuo added, "You can also go mining for sand, clean up the place and let the people in the tribe mine the steel sand to make ingots. A small piece outside is worth a lot of money!"

  Amun asked, "At the edge of the water pool where the Iron Armor Beast King lives, the sediment must be the best iron ore raw material. But if you kill all those Iron Armor Beasts, won't there be no more ore to mine in the future?"

  "Who said we're going to kill the Iron Armored Beast? We're just going to practice our skills. If we can drive it away, we'll come back with our tribesmen and dig up the mud. That way, we'll be able to get more mineral deposits in the future."

  In the end, Amun was also moved by the words. The desire for new and exciting adventures is a natural part of being young, and although Amun's personality is stable, to a large extent it was forced upon him by his living environment, but when he wants to have fun, he can be very playful. Amun has already become an excellent second-level divine magician, as well as a second-level warrior, but so far, he still hasn't tried out his own abilities and also wants to understand the outcome.

  Moreover, Armon has also had his own worries lately. Although he is teaching two students with great enthusiasm, his second-level divine technique and second-level physical technique have already reached the most proficient level, but there is no sign of further advancement. According to Old Crazy's speculation, if he doesn't go astray, what he should face next is the test of "firming one's faith", thereby becoming a third-level divine technique master and a third-level warrior at the same time.

  But what's the point of this trial? How will it come? Amun has no clue! The trial he faces is "firm faith", but he doesn't even know which god to believe in, let alone how to pass such a trial? Moreover, the old madman told him to pay attention to the eastern sky and wait for the rumbling thunder to sound, saying that only after the disaster arrives will he see the next message.

  Amon had not discovered anything unusual in the eastern sky for many days. He was waiting for the disaster foretold by the prophecy, but since it was a disaster, he didn't really want it to happen, so his mood was complicated and contradictory. Unconsciously, he felt somewhat annoyed and couldn't calm down. Since two students had come up with an idea to have some fun, he might as well go along with them to clear his mind while also testing his own strength.

  Amon was cautious and asked about the situation with Lin Ke's iron armored beast. There were only four large iron armored beasts in the water pool, and the iron armored beast king usually didn't come out during the day. Even if it did come out, it would be roughly as powerful as the four large iron armored beasts combined. He secretly calculated this in his heart, thinking that three people would be enough to handle it, so he nodded.

  Link volunteered to lend his staff to Armon, but neither he nor Medan knew that the iron rod in Armon's hand was actually a staff, and even the great wizard couldn't tell. Armon declined, of course, and handed the Earth Eye over to Link for safekeeping.

  They also discussed the issue of tactical coordination, and Meidanzuo was naturally a meat shield, standing at the forefront to resist hard, Lin Ke was behind him casting divine magic to cover and restrain the iron-clad beast from being ambushed. Ahmon swooped down from high altitude, focusing on dealing with the iron-clad beast king if it really appeared, as long as they could use divine magic to drive it back. If so, it would prove that they had a chance to lead their tribe to collect the rich mager steel ore here.

  When setting out, Amun habitually slung his leather pouch over his shoulder. He hadn't planned on bringing Xue Dingyuan along, but the cat, upon seeing Amun put on his pouch, naturally jumped onto his shoulder and used its paws to open the pouch before slipping inside with a movement that was both agile and practiced.

  Three people and a cat walked down the mountain, passing through the woods and arriving at the edge of the pond again. It was noon. The horseshoe-shaped cliff surrounded a deep bay, and upon closer inspection, there was a cave entrance in the middle of the cliff near the water's surface, with half of it submerged underwater. That should be the lair of the Iron Armor Beast King inside.

  Amon quietly climbed to the top of the mountain wall. Maidanzo stood at the half-slope near the pond, drew his sword and was about to take action when Link said behind him with a sly tone: "You wait, watch me!"
