Chapter 109: Advancing to a Demon Fighter

Translator: Udong Editor: IceTea

Near the bank of this misty lake, fish would sometimes jump out of the water and make a splash.

Qian Jin stared at all the writing on the sheet for a while, and then he closed his eyes and tried to memorize the training method of the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll. After he read and repeated the writing about half a day, he had finally completely memorized these writings word for word. At the same time, he also started to understand the key to condensing warrior energy into warrior power.

The elder walked behind Qian Jin and raised his leg. With a kick on his butt, Qian Jin flew into the lake with a huge momentum. Like a huge stone landing into the lake, all the fish around Qian Jin were scared and swam away.

Qian Jin floated on the water and rubbed his butt from the kick. After he spread his Level 10 Warrior Energy throughout his body, he stared to swim into the deeper parts of the lake. But after only swimming towards the center of the lake a little more than ten meters, he felt like he was about to get cooked as a human meat ball.

“Hey... master.” Qian Jin floated on the surface of the water as he turned around and asked the elder, “Where is the Warrior Energy Concentration Array?”

The elder stroked his beard as he pointed at a location nearby Qian Jin and said, “There, under water. When you get there, just concentrate and prepare yourself. I will help you start the array.”

Qian Jin looked at the location in the water about five meters away from him; a strong desire appeared in his eyes. It was as if they were about to turn into flames and shoot out of his eyes. About two to three meters below the surface of the lake, there was a circular wooden board three meters in diameter.

On top of this black wooden board, there were more than thirty energy stones placed on it. Qian Jin took a closer look and found that every single energy stone was Level 10! At the center of this wooden board, there was a stone with a blood red color flashing on it; there were streams of warrior energy slowly circling around it.

“Energy Core!” Qian Jin was so surprised that he shouted out the name of the red stone. It was superior to any of the Level 10 Energy Stones on the board. Energy cores were something that every warrior family would buy and not sale! It was better than Level 10 Energy Stones in both purity and energy reserve!

Instantly, the heat in Qian Jin’s eyes grew stronger and stronger. However, this increase wasn’t due to the hot lake water. Rather, it was because Qian Jin was extremely excited.

“That’s really costly! An Energy Core...” After two deep breaths and biting his teeth together so hard that his gums started to bleed, he started to swim towards the center of the lake like a swordfish despite being unable to tolerate the heat.

Five meters weren’t a long distance, but it was the absolute limit that Qian Jin could achieve. He felt like he was in a fiery hole when he soaked in the water. The temperature of his internal organs was so high that he felt he could breathe fire.

Floating on top of the Warrior Energy Concentration Array, Qian Jin exhaled heavily. After failing the Bloodline Awakening Array, there would only be darkness for any member of the Qian Family. However, Qian Jin was able to find light in the darkness that led the path of a great warrior!

Qian Jin inhaled heavily again and peeked at the Warrior Energy Concentration Array under his feet with a confident smile on his face.

“No warrior can say that he or she can advance into a Demon Warrior for sure. Although a Warrior Energy Concentration Array can increase that chance greatly, it still isn’t 100%.” Qian Jin curled his lips as he thought. After these days of hard training, no Level 10 Warrior could match up with him. With the help from this expensive Warrior Energy Concentration Array and the training from Blake last night...

“If I fail to advance to a Demon Fighter with all these resources, I’m better off just slitting my throat with the Zhanmadao!”

The elder stood on the bank of the lake and murmured as he stared at Qian Jin. A praising smile appeared on his face. The process of advancing to a Demon Fighter had a chance of failing, so the person undergoing it had to be careful. If the person didn’t have enough confidence, his or her future would be very limited even with a successful advancement.

Qian Jin couldn’t stay in this boiling heat for too long. Qian Jin suddenly closed his eyes and tensed up all his muscles. These muscles immediately turned rock hard. Under his red skin, the Level 10 Warrior Energy started to cycle in his body according to the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll.

The elder crossed his arms in front of his chest and smiled as Qian Jin’s warrior energy reached its peak state. All the energy stones in the Warrior Energy Concentration Array under Qian Jin’s feet lit up a little, and the Energy Core at the center of the array let out a rare and different light.

Qian Jin suddenly felt a huge amount of warrior energy surging below him, as if these warrior energies were about to envelop his whole body. The warrior energy in his energy connections that moved in a line started to cycle rapidly in his body as it sucked and absorbed the warrior energy aggressively. Qian Jin felt like his warrior energy was getting stronger to the point of bursting his body wide open.

In the Burning Fire Lake that looked calm on the surface, the pores on Qian Jin’s body opened and closed, and the blood that leaked out of his gums floated to his tongue. He could taste the sweet, yet stinky blood. The rate of absorption of the outside warrior energy was so fast that he felt a great amount of pain. It felt like hundreds of thousands of pointy needles were piercing through his pores and into his flesh.

Streams of warrior energy created by this Warrior Energy Concentration Array twisted and tangled with each other, as if they were thousands of colorful water snakes. They surrounded Qian Jin like they were doing a gorgeous snake dance.

Under the attraction and suction forces coming from every energy reservoir in Qian Jin’s body, they all rushed and dashed into Qian Jin’s body. As if all the energy reservoirs were asleep before, they suddenly started to absorb these warrior energy crazily! They didn’t care about whether Qian Jin’s body was firm enough to take this impact. As they absorbed the warrior energy, the speed at which the warrior energy cycled in Qian Jin’s body became faster and faster.

The pure warrior energy continuously rushed into the energy reservoir. They energy reservoirs that weren’t connected before started to form branches around them and reach out to the other energy reservoirs. Soon, these energy reservoirs were fully filled and formed a path that connected all one hundred and eight energy reservoirs together.

Warrior energy! A huge amount of warrior energy! The hundred and eight energy reservoirs were all filled up, but the warrior energy still didn’t turn into warrior power!

“Rotate! Turn! Rotate! Turn!”

Qian Jin was in the hot lake, so all his sweat immediately merged with the lake water the moment it appeared. Qian Jin on the other hand was fully concentrated on the one hundred and eight energy reservoirs as he tried to rotate the energy inside.

It wasn’t simply cycling the warrior energy through the paths that connected all one hundred and eight energy reservoirs. He had to make each and every single energy reservoir rotate on its own! The warrior energy would only be turned into warrior power if each energy reservoir started to rotate on its own and form a swirl!

The one hundred and eight energy reservoirs were like a hundred and eight drill heads on an electric drill. As they rotated, Qian Jin felt like his Wind and Cloud Stone Body was about to be drilled into pieces. His body started to twitch uncontrollably. He was no longer able to resist the extremely hot lake water from entering his body. The hot lake water could easily enter his body and completely cook him...

“Wind, rotate to form tornadoes. Cloud, rotate to create numerous rain drops.”

A line from the Wind and Cloud Training Scroll suddenly appeared in Qian Jin’s head. It seemed like he caught onto something. The heat that entered his body hadn’t reached his internal organs yet, and all the energy reservoirs were no longer rotating at their own pace. Qian Jin’s whole body had turned into a huge “tornado”, and the warrior energy in the one hundred and eight energy reservoirs started to rotate and cycle in each of the energy reservoirs in unison. His warrior energy was being converted into warrior power!

After the warrior power started to cycle through his body like a tornado, it instantly sucked all the heat that just entered his body into the energy reservoirs. The heat energy was shattered into pieces. Then, the heat energy merged with the warrior power.

Simultaneously, the dead reservoirs in Qian Jin’ body, which were the twelve dead energy reservoirs that were used by the Forging Breathing Technique suddenly started to become active as well. It seemed like they really liked the extreme heat in this lake. They started to suck and swallow all the heat energy in the lake.

In an instant, Qian Jin felt that the temperature around his drop dramatically! The twelve dead reservoirs were like red hot pig irons that seared his body!

Suction! The twelve dead reservoirs, under the control of Forging Breathing Technique, started to consume the heat around Qian Jin like crazy! That also formed a special energy cycle in his body!

This...? What is this?

Boom!

Qian Jin suddenly felt a shock coming from inside of his body. Despite having no protective measures, the extreme heat had somehow easily been blocked from his body.

He felt like there wasn’t a single bit of strength left in his body. He stretched out his arms and legs as he floated on the surface of the lake powerlessly. After feeling the real and surging warrior power in his body, courage and pride filled his brain. He opened his mouth and let out a thrilling roar.

The roar soared into the sky.

Qian Jin floated on the surface of the boiling hot lake and let his strength slowly recover. After his ecstasy, there were more questions in his mind.

“This is weird. Wait, advancing to a Demon Fighter has always been hard, but the warriors who had a firmer foundation would have an easier time advancing. According to past notes, some people only used a few seconds with the help from Warrior Energy Concentration Array to advance from a Level 10 Warrior to a Demon Fighter.”

The more Qian Jin thought about it, the more he couldn’t understand what happened. Even if his foundation was less firm than the Level 10 Warrior’s, he shouldn’t have experienced the difficulties he just went through. It didn’t matter if it in terms of the time of the pain associated with the advancement; he could probably make the record for the worst successful advancement experience ever.

Even Level 10 Warriors who had a bad foundation and barely advanced would have a better experience than him in terms of the amount of pain they suffered.

“Why are you relaxing?” The elder started shouting on the bank. “Drag yourself towards the Warrior Energy Concentration Array! The energy inside hasn’t been used up yet! Drag it! Drag it towards the center of the lake!”

Qian Jin adjusted his position and dragged the wooden board as he swam towards the center of the lake about one hundred and fifty meters with one breath. Here, he felt like he was being getting cooked again. He had to pause and start training using the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll. He then swam back to the bank until all the energy in the Warrior Energy Concentration Array was depleted.

Ha...

Qian Jin crawled onto the bank and swung his clothes that were soaked by the lake water. His lips slightly twitched as he asked the elder, “Hey... master, how come that I almost didn’t advance successfully?”

The elder only smiled and didn’t answer Qian Jin’s questions. He lightly swung his arm, and his fat sleeves made loud “piapia” noise as they collided with the air. “Want to try it out?” he asked.

“Yes!” Qian Jin took off his wet clothes, and the warrior power immediately cycled in his body rapidly. He stomped on the ground with one foot; this stomp made a hole on the ground and caused the soil to explode as if a bomb exploded underground. With the repulsion force, Qian Jin rushed forward like lightning and struck at the elder’s head like an iron stick using his wet clothes.

With water soaking his clothes, they were already somewhat heavy. When Qian Jin struck it in the air, it made a loud “banging” noise. It sounded like a huge wave was splashing forcefully onto a rock on the beach.
