Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 216: Multiple Surprises

Translator: Udong Editor: EbonyFrost/Udong

The warrior power that wasn’t soul power yet were nutrients to Soul Weapons, and Soul Weapons could amplify the power of a warrior.

To put it simply, a level 9 Demon Fighter can beat a level 1 or level 2 Demon Capturer easily.

As Qian Jin read more of it, he found it not that hard to understand after he thought back to his forging experiences. With the help of Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes, he felt like he can do it with practice. At least he won’t need 100 sets of materials to succeed once.

"Wait..." Qian Jin was stunned when he saw a line in the book

[Soul Weapon needs a Soul Eye! No Soul Eye, no Soul Weapon! What is a Soul Eye? The Magic Core of a high-level Demon Beast!]

The Magic Core of a high-level Demon Beast! Qian Jin recalled the materials that Fabreidis had, it wasn’t a full set of material! It needed one core item, which was the Magic Core of a high-level Demon Beast! Without it, no one can succeed.

Didn’t matter if one was a Forge Grandmaster or a God-tier Blacksmith, they weren’t gods and couldn’t give a weapon a soul! Although the soul the weapon needed was not a real live soul, it was not something a man can create.

The so-called God-tier Blacksmith were the people who could forge out use items without wasting any precious metals.

"Aren’t there any substitutes?" Qian Jin flipped through the book and was attracted by another line of words.

[If no high-level Magic Core can be obtained, the blood of a strong warrior or the blood of a high-level Demon Beast with the help of Magic Conductor made by Rune Masters could replace the magic core.]

"This is too cruel." Qian Jin shook his head as he read the notes. It was true that the more powerful the weapon, the higher grade materials were required. Saint Weapon that would give ordinary warriors the change to become saint required too many precious materials.

Qian Jin couldn’t find any other substitutes after he flipped through the notes. He thought that he had to inform Fabreidis about this. If Fabreidis couldn’t get the magic core of a high-level Demon Beast, then he had to give it up!"

Although Fabreidis was powerful, he might not be able to kill a Demon Beast of that level. He might not even be able to escape if he faced one! And Supreme Demon Beasts on top of that?

Were the bloodline warriors from the top ten bloodline families powerful enough? From documents Qian Jin read in the Qian Family’s library, even they didn’t dare to fight with a Supreme Demon Beast.

Until he left the shop, he still didn’t finish the notes on Soul Weapons.

"Runes next!" Qian Jin rushed out of the Blacksmith Shop and went to the Rune Shop.

Read! The first task Qian Jin got was to read as well. Qian Jin continued to read about the knowledge of runes. Every rune character could produce numerous magic array alone! Without the help of the Memory Potion, he might have to spend several years on a single Rune character.

The sixteen hours was gone quickly.

Qian Jin exited Endless World and stretched.

He left the basement, and many items were on the table. Strange plants, bones and furs of beasts, and some dried body of snakes.

There were also a lot of ores and purified metals on the ground.

It was night, and Fabreidis and others were all asleep.

Qian Jin walked into the yard. "Most of the forge tools and pharmacy tools are brought, they even got a brand new forge." He thought.

He picked up a hammer, but he held back his impulse and didn’t start forging. It was midnight, and the noises from forging would instantly wake up all the neighbors.

"Boring..." Qian Jin walked to the training ground in the backyard and got his Zhanmadao from his Warrior Dimension. He started to practice all the fighting techniques that he learned for the last while. He was so busy lately that he didn’t have time to consolidate everything.

Bloody Combat Seven Strikes from Fabreidis, Cut Tree Eight Strikes from the academy, the stuff he created himself from his experiences on the West Mountain, Land Tearing Chop...

As the fighting techniques were used for the empowerment from his level 1 Demon Capturer warrior power, Qian Jin forgot about the time and his surroundings. The warrior power was fully unleashed compared with the beginning, and the Zhanmadao cut through the air and turned into a windmill! The falling leaves that were pulled into the blade were turned into more than a hundred thin strips.

Gomez Jane stood in her second-floor bedroom and looked out of the window in her pajamas. "Such warrior power and such techniques. Every strike is filled with murderous intent and domination. How did he train? And it seems like he is feeling something? Could it be that he wanted to merge all these techniques into one and create his own?" she thought.

Qian Jin was living in the moment as his brain stopped thinking; he swung his blade out of instinct. His body and spirit were in a deeply relaxed state and he felt so powerful that he felt like he could battle with Fabreids.

Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle! His eagerness filled the blade, and the blade buzzed as level 4 Land Tearing Chop struck down on the ground.

Boom! Tink! The warrior power surrounding the blade hit the ground first, and the blade then chopped onto the stone plates on the ground. The firm plates exploded into pieces, and the body of the Zhanmadao stabbed into the ground. The entire training space was covered with dust.

Qian Jin looked around and looked at the damage that he had done. He quickly closed his eyes and wanted to recall the feeling when he struck out. At that moment, he felt like Zhanmadao was no longer his weapon, but an extension of his body.

Qian Jin opened his eyes after he recalled the event numerous times. He was surprised that his fighting techniques were improved upon. Although those techniques were still individual techniques and didn’t merge together, he felt like he built a vague connection between them.

"This connection..." Qian Jin looked up at the three bright moons in the sky and thought. "So Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes aren’t simply a forging technique nor a fighting technique. It seems to have a special ability; it can forge all the fighting techniques together and make them into a whole system."

"That’s right!" Qian Jin pressed his hands together as he thought. "The instinct that I used to connect the techniques was something that I learned from the Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes!"

"Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes, Forging Breathing Techniques..." Qian Jin frowned. Everything that Blake taught him had amazing effects. With the help of the Forging Breathing Technique, he successful advanced to a Demon Capturer, his warrior power cycles speed reached n insane level, and the quality of his warrior power was much higher.

"Then..." Qian Jin scratched his head. "What is this magic hat? Would it be a God-tier Item, and people like Uncle Blake are the souls of this item?"

Qian Jin stretched again as he stared at the messy training ground. He realized that being awake at night alone was very boring.

"This strength, comparing to warriors in his age, even the bloodline warriors..." Gomez Jane closed her curtain and murmured. "He is a genius! Impressive, there is such a genius ordinary warrior in this generation."

Qian Jin returned to the basement and took out the mage hat again. "Mysterious! Since I had it, I rarely slept! I can sleep well tonight."

Qian Jin lied on the bed and placed the hat on his face habitually. The world turned black and soon bright again. He was standing in a familiar place, Endless World!

"What? How?" Qian Jin was so surprised that he jumped into the air. He tried this before in Four Seasons Valley. He couldn’t get back into Endless World didn’t matter how hard he tried.

What did going into Endless World one more time in a day mean? Qian Jin knew it clearly. That was why he tried to re-enter in Four Seasons Valley and failed.

"Today, I wanted to sleep, but I actually came back again."

"System Wizard..." Qian Jin said weakly. The System Wizard that he hadn’t see for a long time appeared in front of him.

"What do you need?" it asked.

"What is this?" Qian Jin pointed at himself and asked. "I remember that I can only come here eight hours a day. Then how can I enter again right after I left here?"

"This is the rule. After coming into Endless World for 100 days, you would be rewarded with 360 hours, which means you can come back right after you get kicked out for another eight hours a day." The System Wizard replied without any emotion. "You have been coming to Endless World for 700 days, so you are rewarded with 2,520 hours."

...

Qian Jin was stunned! His brain got everything after the System Wizard disappeared for a while. "Damn, why didn’t inform me about it? Too irresponsible."

The extra hours were about 100 days in the normal world and 200 days in Endless World.

"I was concerned that I don’t have enough time to study." Qian Jin rushed to the Blacksmith Shop, Mystic Potion Shop, Potion Shop, and Rune Shop to learn more.

After sixteen hours passed, Qian Jin was kicked out.

Even with the help of Memory Potion, Qian Jin felt like his head was bulging after studying for 32 hours. He really had to rest, and it seemed like reading books was a heavy task!

Qian Jin smiled awkwardly at the people in the dining room after he left the basement and smelled delicious food. It wasn’t easy to explain why he was gone for 16 hours, but he could say that he was thinking about how to forge the Soul Weapon.

"Uncle..." Qian Jin threw a piece of meat into his mouth and chugged down half a cup of water. He continued. "Although I’m still not too sure about the process of forging a Soul Weapon, did you forget to show me one material?"

Fabreidis stopped sipping the wine and said, "No, I heard those were all the materials that were needed for a Soul Weapon called Fighting Sky Flaming Sword which is a fire element Soul Weapon."

Qian Jin swallowed the food forcefully. These were the material required for the sword as it was documented in Blake’s notes, but it said the Magic Core of the Supreme Demon Beast Lava Fire Demon was required as well! After a mature Fire Demon lived in lava long enough, it could absorb the fire poison in the lava and advance to a Supreme Demon Beast!

Maybe a Fire Demon couldn’t become a Lava Fire Demon in several hundred years, but once it did, it would become a Supreme Demon Beast!

"Fighting Sky Flaming Sword needs the Magic Core of a Lava Fire Demon as its Soul Eye..."

Before Qian Jin could finish, the wine cup in Fabreidis’ hand slipped down and smashed into pieces.

Duren Burg turned around and spurted out all the food in his mouth, and he continued to cough for several seconds.

Supreme Demon Beast! And a Lava Fire Demon? The fire in this beast’s attack contained poison, let alone that the fire could instantly burn through all kinds of armors and protections.

The room was quiet, and the excitement in Fabreidis’ eyes was replaced with desperation, total desperation! Fabreidis’ won’t be this desperate even if he was facing death.

Death was only for a moment.

But living in desperation was painful.

Fabreidis was half a step away from becoming Saint, but this path was destroyed because of a magic core.

The atmosphere in the room was unprecedentedly depressing. It was hard to breathe in there.

After a long time, Fabreidis looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes; tears were at the corner of his eyes. The reason why a man would rather bleed and not cry was because he wasn’t hurt bad enough! action

"That’s not the only way, although the alternative isn’t hard to achieve." Qian Jin couldn’t see Fabreidis like this. A Lava Fire Demon was very powerful. Qian Jin was afraid that Fabreidis would go looking for it and risk his life for that slim chance of becoming saint.

"What is it?" Fabreidis placed his hands on the table. Bam! The food on the table jumped into the air and fell back down again.

"Blood of a Fire Demon..." Qian Jin drew a circle on the table as he explained. "Using a magic conductor of this size and the blood of a Fire Demon."

"Fire Demon... Fire Demon..."

Fabreidis squeezed his fists together, and his knuckles cracked and the veins on his arms bulged.

A mature Fire Demon had already abandoned its rock body and turned into a cloud of fire. The only places where there was flesh was around its magic core. Mages were a good fit to kill it. A bunch mages, or a top Supreme Mage.

The fighting style of warriors would be very disadvantageous in this case.

"Qian Jin..." Rosella put up her hands and asked, "Is the blood of other Demon Beasts ok? I heard that the corpse of a high-level Demon Beast Roaring Flame Demon Tiger would be for sale at the auction in Yulee next month, the only thing is that its magic core had already been taken out."

Qian Jin tapped the table and thought. "The most precious material on a Demon Beast’ body is its magic core, then it is its fur and bones. The fur had some anti-magic effects, the bones could be made into wands, and the flesh could be made into potions or mystic potions."

"Roaring Flame Demon Tiger... Roaring Flame Demon Tiger..." Numerous strange characters flashed through Qian Jin’s mind as a smile appeared on his face. He hugged Rosella subconsciously and said happily, "That’s right, you are so smart! How did I forget about that?"

Rosella blushed as she tried to push Qian Jin away, but she was too weak. She ended up closing her eyes out of embarrassment.

Then Qian Jin realized that he was too excited after the main issue was solved. Although he hugged Rollin before when he was excited, now he was hugging the girl. Although that fatty named her his fiancée, but...

"What?" Fabreidis asked Qian Jin anxiously. If he didn’t hear that there is another way, he would take his sword to the danger zones in Zence to try out his luck. Rather than staying at the same rank for the rest of his life like a loser, he would try to find a Fire Demon and risk his life to kill it!

Qian Jin lifted his arms as he showed Rosella an apologetic smile. "Mystic Potion!" Qian Jin turned around next and said to Fabreidis.

Mystic Potion? Everyone in the room as stunned. That subject was too mysterious, and anyone who was sane would rather not get involved with it. Didn’t matter if a warrior was saint or not, the mystic potion could instantly kill him or her.

There was an Ares Bloodline Warrior who had his ultimate awakening, and he fought with the ultimate bloodline warrior of the Demon Empire - Unkillable King Bloodline Warrior. Both of them were severely injured and they had to go back and recover. Since the Ares Bloodline Warrior wanted to recover and also push the limit of ultimate power, he drank the mystic potion that mystic pharmacist created – Be God Potion!
