BXBX NOVEL Chapter 291: Rapid Switch
Qian Jin nodded as he backed out of the yard. He looked back at the fire in the forge and thought: "I hadn’t practiced forging for a while. After this, I will need to continue practicing. I was able to forge a Soul Weapon last time because of luck. When I get close to advancing to a saint, I would need a Soul Weapon... also..."
Qian Jin looked up at the blue sky. "I got a Saint Item from the demons, and that thing is really powerful. However, it can be only used by Lucifer Bloodlines and anyone else would die from using it. After I become a Supreme Blacksmith or a God-tier Blacksmith Master, I might be able to fix these problems. Even if I can’t fix it into an armor that everyone can wear, at least I can make it into an armor that Cech Flet can wear and won’t get his life energy sucked away.
The gate to Enlak’s Energy House was controlled by his Warrior Heart Awareness and it had already recovered. Qian Jin scratched his head and shrugged his shoulder. "Looks like the difference between me and Enlak is just too big. I can only use my Warrior Heart Awareness to move the energy around me, but I can’t move all the wood pieces and piece them together tightly as if the gate was never broken.
"Warrior Heart Awareness, Warrior Heart Awareness..." Qian Jin took a deep breath as he pushed opened the gate. "How powerful does my Warrior Heart Awareness have to be in order to do something like that? In the wars between Zence and Lucifer, both parties would send mages and warriors groups to destroy each other’s cities. If there were many warriors with such powerful Warrior Heart Awareness, then the city can be recovered quickly."
The door opened and Qian Jin was still thinking. "Why do both empires hire builders to fix up the cities rather than getting powerful warriors to use their Warrior Heart Awareness?"
Enlak’s House’s gate opened and a wood scent floated out. Qian Jin looked inside and saw Enlak sitting down in the center of the room with a ton of warriors sitting on both sides of him.
When these warriors saw Qian Jin walked in, they all stood up and stomped the wooden floor with their bare feet and roared in unison.
Boom!
The drum-like noise along with the roars resonated in the room and Qian Jin felt like the room was even shaking.
Qian Jin exhaled as he sensed all the hostile stares around him. He felt like he was surrounded by enemies and his skin felt like it was being poked by numerous blades. Among all these warriors, a few of their stares felt more threatening and more eye-catching.
Two fat men who looked the same with bald heads were ones in this group.
"Kid, you here to challenge again?" Enlak smiled. "You’re here sooner than I expected."
"Challenge?" Qian Jin sighed. "Uncle Blake..."
"Kid, don’t think there are shortcuts to challenging me." Enlak waved his hands. "Blake told you to come here for one reason. ‘Don’t expect others to help you! You can use your relationship to get help a few times, but you have to work hard and earn it yourself. No one will help you for the rest of your life."
"Myself?" Qian Jin knocked his head as he felt cold. "What is going on? As I got stronger, my will isn’t as firm as it used to be. Other people can point me in the right direction, but I have to work on it myself."
"Since you understood." Enlak waved his hand again and smiled. "We’ll play by my rules. If you win, you will be rewarded. If you lose, then you will get nothing."
Two of the fat man who looked identical stood up. Now, Qian Jin was able to tell that one of them was a little taller.
Both of them jumped into the battle ring. Their movement was so similar that it was like facing one person and a mirror image.
Warrior Heart Awareness. Qian Jin slowly walked into the battle ring with a serious expression on his face. He stared at the two opponents and felt the warrior power around them. This was something that he was able to sense after he got Warrior Heart Awareness.
The three of them looked at each other, and the fighting started instantly without the need of anyone announcing it.
Boom! After stepping on the ground, the two young fat warriors separated as they attack Qian Jin from both sides. Level 1 Demon Slayers!
As soon as they moved, their strength of level 1 Demon Slayers was demonstrated. As whooshing noises sounded when their warrior power was unleashed, Qian Jin felt like his surroundings darkened. The hands of the two warriors grew bigger and several black veins grew on their hands as if they were made from black iron.
Whoosh! Qian Jin felt the wind created by the strikes. These two strikes were so powerful that just the wind created by them caused a ton of pain to Qian Jin’s head as they struck downwards.
The huge pressure with the blade-like wind surged at Qian Jin. Anyone else would want to back away if they were in Qian Jin’s position.
Qian Jin’s right leg left the ground quickly. Smiles appeared on both warriors’ face as they thought, "Back off, as soon as you back off..."
Bam! The red wooden floor quickly collapsed and the wood chips flew in the air. Warrior power gushed out of Qian Jin’s body like lava from an erupting volcano. Qian Jin didn’t back off, instead, he stepped forward.
Qian Jin bent his back instantly as a tiger-like roar came out of his throat. He raised his arms to the height of his eyes and struck out from the sides. [Dividing Metal Multi-Chop] chopped into the two warriors’ palms.
[Dividing Metal Multi-Chop] Vs [Metal Palm]. The noise of warrior power colliding, muscles colliding, and bones colliding resonated in the room. Qian In felt like the warrior power that was surrounding his arms almost collapsed. The Warrior Heart Awareness that only belonged to Demon Slayers lost all of its advantages.
At that moment, Qian Jin felt like the two hands that he struck suddenly turned from hard to soft as if he chopped onto some cotton.
"This? The instant exchange from hard to soft? How?" Qian Jin was shocked. It was impossible for warrior power to re-arrange themselves this fast even if the warriors had mastered it.
Qian Jin immediately tried to pull back his arms but an unprecedented force exploded out of the two soft palms instantly and cut through the warrior power that was around Qian Jin’s [Dividing Metal Multi-Chop]. Qian Jin’s arms got pushed back with the power of [Metal Palm].
"Hard to soft, soft to hard? This fast?" As if Qian Jin got electrocuted, he pulled back his arms like two snakes that hurried back to their nests. The warrior power in his body cycled quickly to try to push the warrior power of the two warriors out of his body.
The two palms continued to push downwards at Qian Jin. Qian Jin quickly dashed to the side and the palms barely missed his shoulders. Qian Jin unleashed his Wind and Cloud Golden Body and every collision between their bodies sounded like metal instead of muscles. Qian Jin leaped into the air and chopped down at the taller warrior with his hands together.
The taller warrior raised his eyebrow and sneered. He rooted to the ground and shook his body like a tree that moved in the wind. He flipped his wrist and pushed his [Metal Palm] forward.
Bam! The warrior power spilled around and send all the wood chips in the air in all directions. Qian Jin felt like his wrists were in pain, yet his hands felt a little numb.
Due to the big difference in power, Qian Jin wasn’t able to get any advantages in fighting heads on. He twisted his arms, and they coiled around this warrior’s arm like a huge snake. That strong power that was supposed to send Qian Jin flying as completely dissolved by this technique.
"Huh?" The tall warrior’s wrist lightly shook as a curious expression appeared on his face. "I didn’t break open his warrior power? His warrior power is a lot weaker... I didn’t even break his bones? What kind of body is this?"
As soon as his arms coiled around the tall warriors, Qian Jin jumped into the air and kicked at his throats without thinking. The dragon-tail like strike was positioned at such a critical angle that Enlak’s eyes shone.
As soon as Qian Jin got into the fight, he didn’t back off for one bit when facing the attack from both warriors. He tried his best to be in the lead and even when he was in a bad position, he would think of ways to adapt and fight back. He never even thought about backing off.
However, the warrior moved and Qian Jin kicked onto his chest. The chest that looked hard instantly turned very soft and sucked Qian Jin’s foot in.
"This? Lingering Belly Fighting Technique?" The name of a technique appeared in Qian Jin’s head instantly. He suddenly felt an insane amount of force coming back at him from this soft chest. It felt like this chest absorbed his attack and used it against him.
Qian Jin felt like blood got clogged in his leg and the warrior power was having a hard time moving to his legs. At that moment, the shorter warrior’s [Metal Palm] struck him.
Qian Jin pulled his leg back and landed on the ground. He bent his back like a bow and pulled onto the tall warrior with his arms still coiled around this warrior’s arm. Qian Jin utilized the force from his spine and leg to maximize his pull, and the tall warrior was pulled off of the ground and sent into the air like an arrow that got shot out of a bow.
