Chapter 196: Divine Warrior Power

Through the nearly three meters tall unlocked door of the familiar mountain headquarters, Qian Jin could see some flickering shadows every now and then.

Qian Jin stepped forward and kicked on the wooden door, which was opened quickly to both sides. The walking swordsmen turned back at the mountain door at the same time and pulled out their blades from the sheaths.

[Land Tearing Chop]! Qian Jin put his palms together and performed a move. The head of the swordsman standing in the front flew up high and the remaining part of his body slowly collapsed backward, before he could pull out his blade from the sheath completely.

Just at the same time when the nearest four swordsmen pulled out their weapons and were about to pounce, Qian Jin slightly contracted his body, activated his Wind and Cloud Warrior Power, simulated Dividing Metal Multi-Chops, and broke the throat bones of three swordsmen, making them slump down onto the ground like falling jute bags.

The fourth swordsman raised his wooden shield and quickly stepped forward. Qian Jin once more put together his palms, smashed the shield with a move of Land Tearing Chop, and pierced the swordsman’s breast. He then stepped back swiftly to avoid the swordsman’s chopping blade, performed a move of Land Tearing Chop and cut through the neck of this opponent.

Having displayed Land Tearing Chop several times, Qian Jin gradually became accustomed to it. Suffering from an attack of the wooden stick, Qian Jin once again performed a move of Land Tearing Chop.

“Your proficiency of [Land Tearing Chop] has improved, and your status has evolved into Level 2.”

As the dull and unemotional system prompt rang again, Qian Jin felt shocked all of sudden, and in the meanwhile, a fierce yet magnificent light of a blade shone from his back! The Chief Swordsman!

Qian Jin felt that the hair on his back was shocked and stood on end. He knew by instinct that such a frightening beat couldn’t be given by any ordinary swordsmen even if he hadn’t turned back at the attacker.

Qian Jin bent his knees, subsided and turned his waist! After putting his palms together, Qian Jin performed a swing, smashing the grass on the ground into mud. A strike of the Land Tearing Chop stabbed into the wood armor of the 2m tall Chief Swordsman on his chest, turning the armor chips into numerous broken pieces instantly. With a move of the Land Tearing Chop piercing the opponent’s breast, Qian Jin felt that the smoothness had improved a lot in the way a dull battle blade was ground extremely sharp.

“Open the status screen.” Qian Jin stamped on the Chief Swordsman and started to read the status screen which read:

Fury Lotus Fighting Technique: Level 1, Proficiency 0. Elementary Fighting Technique.

Oily-scale Snake Fighting Technique: Level 1, Proficiency 0. Elementary Fighting Technique.

Lingering Belly Fighting Technique: Level 0, Proficiency 0. Elementary Fighting Technique.

Gold Essence Warrior Power: Level 1, Proficiency 0. Element and Progressive Warrior Power. Divine Warrior Power Secret Training Technique.

“Gold Essence Warrior Power? Supreme? That is to say…” Qian Jin glided to avoid the attack of the swordsman, during which time he saw that the proficiency of Oily-scale Snake Fighting Technique turned from 0 to 3.

Unknown Warrior Power: Level 19. Proficiency: 98000/130000. Power Volume: 98000. Warrior Power Quality: Excellent. Rotation Speed Explosion: 3500 Circles, higher than the summit of 2560 circles. Warrior Power Explosion Ability: Abnormal. Warrior Power Element: Unknown, roughly estimated to be Divine Warrior Power. Warrior Power Deformability: Supreme. Possessed Unknown Abilities. Comprehensive Ability: Divine Level.

“This Unknown Warrior Power refers to my Wind and Cloud Warrior Power?” Qian Jin swung his body to both sides and avoids another two attacks from the swordsman, which made his proficiency of Oily-scale Snake Fighting Technique rise to 10. Then he was hit upon on his back by one stick, as to defend the simultaneous attacks of dozens of opponents was unattainable, even if he was a Level 9 Demon Fighter.

Unknown Body Protecting Fighting Technique: Level Unclear, Proficiency Unclear.

As observed by Qian Jin, the Proficiency Status of Unknown Body Protecting Fighting Technique in the screen twinkled twice and seemed to have risen by a little, “Does this refer to Wind and Cloud Golden Body? It appears that there is still a long way for my Level 9 Demon Fighter Warrior Power to reach the summit. And when will my Wind and Cloud Golden Body be improved by another level?”

Qian Jin performed another series of moves of Land Tearing Chop. Each time his warrior power exploded, Qian Jin would feel that he had become more proficient and engaged in using it and seemed to be fighting against his opponents by intuition. Whenever he felt any danger approaching him, he would display a move of Land Tearing Chop with his arms unconsciously, which no swordsman could resist.

“Your proficiency of [Land Tearing Chop] has improved, and you have become a Level 3 cultivator of Land Tearing Chop.”

The dull and unemotional system prompt rang again, awaking Qian Jin from the fierce fight. Looking at the defeated swordsmen sprawling on the ground, Qian Jin found that most of their injuries took on the shape of being sliced up by a sharp blade.

Land Tearing Chop: Level 3. Proficiency: 1/9000. Divine Fighting Technique. Additional Information: once a player reaches Level 3, he or she doesn’t need to put his palms together to activate it; and once someone reaches this level, his arms will be as sharp as swords or sabers, and using a real saber will add to his might.

“This Land Tearing Chop could be used together with a weapon?” Qian Jin clicked his tongue repeatedly and glimpsed at the other column of the status screen.

Unknown Fighting Technique: Level 1. Proficiency: 35/350. It’s estimated to be a type of Divine Fighting Technique instead of a generally-used fighting technique. It might be exclusively used by a special crowd of people, and cannot be activated by ordinary people.

Qian Jin nodded his head at the sight of the Unknown Fighting Technique, “Divine Fighting Technique? Cannot be activated by ordinary people? This might be an exclusively auxiliary fighting technique of the Iron-arm Mantis Bloodline Warriors? Haven’t I yet reached the second level? Is this really a Divine Fighting Technique?”

Qian Jin closed the status screen and looked up to the sky with a blank face. There were numerous types of fighting techniques, which were classified into different levels with the acquired might just like the warriors. The levels of fighting technique included Rank 1 Fighting Technique, Rank 2 Fighting Technique, Rank 3 Fighting Technique, until Rank 10 Fighting Technique!

And the level above Rank 10 Fighting Technique would be called Divine Fighting Technique! Even the top ten bloodline warrior families only kept one or two of Divine Fighting Techniques.

“Maybe the Wind and Cloud Golden Body can be classified into the Divine Body Protecting Fighting Technique?” Qian Jin lowered his head at his powerful arms, “That means that I have now obtained three sets of Divine Fighting Techniques? And two sets of Divine Warrior Power Cultivation Secrets?”

Qian Jin swallowed, producing a grunting sound in his throat. Divine Warrior Power and Divine Fighting Technique! These were invaluable treasures that even the Qian Family would pull endless strings to have possession of.

Both the Gold Essence Warrior Power and the Land Tearing Chop were Divine Warrior Power or Divine Fighting Technique that could be cultivated by ordinary warriors, and they boasted higher value than the auxiliary bloodline warrior power and fighting technique owned by bloodline warriors!

“I…can do it!” Qian Jin took a deep breath and uttered a long growl into the sky!

Confidence! Qian Jin was filled with extreme confidence he had never had before. For the time being, his Level 9 Demon Fighter Warrior Power was floating vigorously more than ever, and the ascending of warrior reservoirs inside his connections was performing much smoother than before.

Suddenly, a light brimming with excitement flashed through Qian Jin’s eyes as if he was poured on by a pot of cold water, which made him feel desperately sober more than ever before. He shook his body, separated the fingers of his left hand, lowered down and slammed on the ground with his left palm.

The muscles on the back of his arms were like surging flows under the skin, the fine hair on his body seemed to perk up and his warrior power was spouting out vigorously throughout his entire arm until finally, it rushed to his palm.

The moment his warrior power was converged on his palm, Qian Jin pressed his arm down with full strength. Just then, the warrior powers appeared like the torrential river rushing over the dam on the riverside and dashed toward the ground.

Puff! A clear fingerprint showed up on the muddy ground with a half-inch distance from his palm! Mud shreds were splashing into the air here and there, coupled with the sweat exuded on the back of Qian Jin’s hand falling onto the ground.

Qian Jin stood up straight, wiped away the sweat on his forehead, and put on a big smile, “Is this power unleashed by sheer confidence? I eventually understood Enlak’s intention for giving me the cultivation secrets of warrior power and fighting techniques.”

“Confidence is also a kind of power!” Qian Jin clenched his fist hard, “Enlak infused his special power into his fists and feet, while confidence stands as my strength!”

The entire one hundred and eight warrior reservoirs were in an upsurge, producing streaming power which was increasing like the bamboo shoots after a spring rain. And then such power was quickly taking shape under Qian Jin’s control.

“What I lack now is warrior power volume.” Qian Jin raised his head and looked at the sky through the luxuriant leaves, “As long as I reach the summit of warrior power volume, I can make a breakthrough.”

“Forge Grandmaster…Forge Grandmaster…” Qian Jin took a deep breath and then exhaled, clenching his fist and looking to the higher places of the West Mountain, “Not only will I become a grand warrior, but also a Forge Grandmaster! Its sheer luck for me to have picked up this fabulous mage hat and entered the endless world, thus I shouldn’t waste such luck! Now that I have the opportunity of becoming a Forge Grandmaster, I will try my best to do it! I will become aForge Grandmaster before I leave the frontier!”

The luxuriant forest stood up high into the sky, from which narrow beams of sunlight penetrated through the thick leaves. The light amid the forest was ever looming and was scattered in the trunks entwined by thick mosses.

Qian Jin squatted by the stream, washed away the bloodstains on his hands, relaxed his body and leaned across the robust trunk behind his back. He patted on the jute bag filled with One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron, the fifth bag of ice-iron he had acquired during the past ten days. And with the help of the two bags of Wind-fire Copper, he would be able to forge a stronger Zhanmadao.

To many people, ten days might seem a long time, but Qian Jin, it had just fleeted in one blink.

Land Tearing Chop: Level 4/ 10. Proficiency: 3762/95000. Divine Fighting Technique. Additional Information: you can perform this technique using your knees and elbows

Unknown: Level 2/10. Proficiency: 75/900. It’s estimated to be a type of Divine Fighting Technique instead of a generally-used fighting technique. It might be exclusively used by a special crowd of people, and cannot be activated by ordinary people.

Fury Lotus Fighting Technique: Level 6/10, Proficiency 135/375. Primary Fighting Technique.

Oily-scale Snake Fighting Technique: Level 6/10, Proficiency 197/400. Primary Fighting Technique.

Lingering Belly Fighting Technique: Level 0, Proficiency 0. Primary Fighting Technique.

Qian Jin observed the trophies he had obtained during the past ten days. Apart from the time used for traveling between the huge West Mountain and the village, most of his time was spent on fighting. Luckily the achievements he had made were much better than expected. Besides, the basic properties of the various fighting techniques had been made clear through the measured data.

Though Land Tearing Chop and the auxiliary fighting technique to the Iron-arm Mantis Bloodline Warrior all belonged to Divine Fighting Technique, there were some differences between them. In view of brute force, Land Tearing Chop was overshadowed by the auxiliary fighting technique to the Iron-arm Mantis Bloodline Warriors.

Though Oily-scale Snake Fighting Technique was a Level 1 Fighting Technique, it boasted fine integration. If he could reach a summit of this technique, he might be able to integrate it with his unorthodox skills. From this respect, it could be deemed as a progressive fighting technique, yet its progress was largely dependent on the cultivator.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the forest. Qian Jin arched his back and saw a roughly three-meter-high Golden Demon Ape which grew golden hair over his body as if it was wearing gold armor. Such soft golden hair had natural and compelling defensive power which could shield the ape from the attack of a sword forged from Level 1 Purified Iron by a Level 10 Warrior

Demon Beast! Level 2 Demon Beast!

The Golden Demon Ape didn’t growl at the sight of Qian Jin. The arms of the ape, which were dropping below its knees, were activated along with its feet, propelling its huge body to march forward like an agile monkey. A big golden-colored shadow swiftly glided over the mottled moss. The brawny arms of the ape pushed aside the vines which were of finger size and could easily strangle people to death and chopped at Qian Jin’s head. For the time being, the entire surroundings seemed to have been blocked by this huge demonic shadow!

The light around Qian Jin became dim all of a sudden. With the ape’s brawny arms coming down like falling trees, Qian Jin raised his head and narrowed his eyes, by which a cold light flashed through his pupils. The Golden Demon Ape suddenly stopped pushing forward, a reaction the Demon Beasts would do when they felt danger.

During the past ten days spent slaughtering, Qian Jin’s eyes were already filled with scarlet bloodstain. And the murderous intent inside him had become further intensified, which, in the face of enemies, would be automatically generated and cool down the whole surroundings. The Gold Demon Ape felt that it was being stared at a great enemy.

Seeing the arms of the Gold Demon Ape enlarging fast, Qian Jin’s right foot stepped on the ground softly. Then he suddenly stood straight, poked his right arm forward, and produced a cracking sound on his five fingers under the activating of Level 9 Demon Fighter Warrior Power. His joints had grown twice large! He stabbed his fingers on the ape’s arms as if pricking the saber of a knight!

Crack! The brawny arms of the Gold Demon Ape were fractured to the other side and deformed. Qian Jin tapped his left tiptoes on the ground, flew in the air like a sliding snake in the water, retracted his forearm, and poked his elbow. He flew up and down like a spinning spear, and then stabbed his elbow deep into the Gold Demon Ape’s lower belly and swiftly pulled it up! Land Tearing Chop!

Crack crack…a string of fracturing sounds rang, and the huge body of the Golden Demon Ape, which was like a clod torn apart by the spear tip, collapsed backward onto the ground. The smashing sound of its viscera resembled a stick whipping on the cotton quilt.

Watching the Golden Demon Ape falling onto the ground, Qian Jin softly swung his shoulder. He then pushed aside the golden hair around its lower abdomen, exposing its soft and elastic belly, performed a move of Land Tearing Chop to get deep into its feeble body, and pulled out a golden magic core the size of an infants fist. Next, Qian Jin opened the pouch that was as big as a man’s head hung around the ape’s waist and saw approximately thirty magic cores of different sizes and colors.

For the past ten days trudging between the West Mountain and the village, Qian Jin eventually came to understand what Blake meant when saying that the West Mountain boasted abundant resources. The number of Demon Beasts living here was much bigger than that of the Zence Empire. Those Demon Beasts in the West Mountain seemed impossible to be completely extinguished: every time Qian Jin killed a Lava Wolverine to take away the One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron, another Lava Wolverine in charge of guarding the ice-iron would show up.

The West Mountain enjoyed a large amount of the expensive metal sold in the Zence Empire as well as the rarely-seen magic cores. As long as you were strong and courageous enough to fight, you could have a large harvest of these metal and magic cores.

“It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t carry them back to the Zence Empire, or I would make a great fortune.” Qian Jin tied the pocket, kicked the dead Golden Demon Ape and started sighing, “The first time I ran into this species, I took great efforts to finish it off. Now I have found out its weak points. Though I haven’t broadened my horizons on other things, I’ve gained quite a bit of knowledge regarding the weak points of the Demon Beasts.”

Qian Jin turned back, and patted the jute bag filled with the One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron. Since it would be his first time forging a warrior weapon with various types of advanced metal, it was better to get more of them.

Warrior weapons were different from ordinary weapons in that it couldn’t be recollected for another trial once it met with failure. Theoretically, the equipment which was forged with added metal would perform better. However, the difficulty of mixing advanced metal would be larger, and the failure rate would accordingly increase.

The advanced metal had their unique properties. Even the most talented Forge Grandmaster couldn’t say with sheer certainty that they could get to know the properties of these advanced metal. Due to the low success rate, the warrior weapons sold in the Zence Empire were quite expensive, because the materials used for forging one advanced warrior weapon were several times that of an ordinary one.

Qian Jin walked down the West Mountain with the One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron carried on his back. He had become accustomed to talking to himself during the last few days living on his own, “I really feel indebted to Blake for telling me the West Mountain was abundant in rich resources. The success rate for forging will increase since I have acquired plenty of advanced metal and will try to get familiar with their properties, won’t it? Since Duren Burg and Fanta Kunge haven’t fully recovered, I shall go there several more times to increase the success rate for forging.”

Qian Jin uttered a long exhale, and put on a faint smile, as he knew that no one else, including the Qian Family, the other bloodline warriors, and the imperial Forge Masters would have the opportunity to attain those miscellaneous advanced metals and get to know their properties to forge weapons. The endless world granted him endless possibilities.

Coming back to Blake’s courtyard, Qian Jin placed the jute bag of One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron in a corner of the yard, looked at the other five jute bags filled with such ice-iron, clapped his hands, and walked toward the corner where stood a wooden box.

The red wooden box was three inches square. Opening the cover, Qian Jin saw roughly one hundred magic cores of different sizes and colors in it!

Qian Jin untied the pocket around his waist and put the magic cores in the pocket into the box while breathing heavily. It was only in the endless world was it possible to get so many magic cores. If he placed these high-quality magic cores in the Qian Family, everybody including the family charger would be gravely shocked.

“It’s a pity that I don’t understand Magic Empowered Runes, or else these magic cores would be of great help.” Qian Jin closed the wooden box carefully, “I wonder when I can start learning inscribing skills, by which time these magic cores will be of help.”

To become a runemaster needed not only natural talent but also the support of immense magic materials.

Someone even pointed out in the record about runemasters that it was an expensive profession made that can only be achieved through using seas of mountains of magic materials!

Without the backup of prodigious wealth, it would be impossible for one to become a runemaster even if he was instructed by a notable master. Speaking of rune masters, the first impression on people was not the fine rune empowering equipment, but its high price! The ever roaring ceiling price!
