Chapter 443: Who Is Stronger?

Translator: Udong_ Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong_

"Huh….." Qian Jin exhaled heavily. It wasn"t the first time that he experienced death in the Endless World, but none of them felt as real as this one. When he was pierced by the six spears, he felt like he was really going to return to the stars, it didn"t feel like a challenge at all.

"This..."

Qian Jin was surprised when he tried to sense the arrangement pattern of his Dividing Metal Multi-Chop. When he was killing the eleventh and twelfth opponent, he crushed the arrangement pattern in order to deal maximum damage.

But in the short time, the arrangement pattern had already recovered and was stronger than one he had in the afternoon.

"Dividing Metal Multi-Chop, it can really be used with weapons..." Qian Jin looked at his arms out of surprise. When he used it with his Zhanmadao, he felt like he took the technique to another level. However, he couldn"t exactly pinpoint where the change was. The only thing he knew was that it was much stronger than when he used it with his bare arms.

"Even though I lost, I need to go back." Qian Jin put on the hat and re-entered Endless World.

Enlak"s place wasn"t as clean and tight as before. Holes and traces of weapons were everywhere.

"It hasn"t recovered yet?" Qian Jin was surprised to see this. It would only take a master like Enlak a wave of a hand to fix the place up.

All the warriors who partic.i.p.ated in the battle were still standing there. As soon as Qian Jin saw them, his Warrior-Heart raced in his body subconsciously.

"Relax, relax. It is over." Enlak leaned against the wall as he said with a lazy expression. "Kid, you are more powerful than I expected, you killed twelve opponents..."

Qian Jin curled his lips robotically. "Wasn"t I killed by you in the end? That battle isn"t something I want to recall." He thought.

As soon as Qian Jin thought back to it, the scene of weapons flying at him from all directions and everyone"s crazed expressions appeared on his mind.

Never before! Qian Jin had gone through a lot of death battles, and he survived in the West Mountains for days, but he had never encountered such a situation. Although he was marching forward, he was still reactive and was given a good beating.

Beaten up! For the first time, Qian Jin felt the power of a group. One versus a hundred? More like one getting beat by a hundred.

"But what surprised me the most is that you even crushed a very special Warrior Seal." Enlak smiled as he looked at Qian Jin in admiration. "That is a Divine Fighting Technique, right? You really are willing to do that. This is probably the only complete Warrior Seal that you have, right?" He asked.

Qian Jin opened his Status Page and saw the line: "Unknown Fighting Technique, Divine Level, and Level 10 Mastery."

"Level 10 Mastery." Qian Jin nodded his head. He wanted to ask about this Dividing Metal Multi-Chop after he won, but since he lost, he couldn"t ask anymore.

"Ok, what questions do you have?" Enlak asked as he placed both of his hands on his knees. "Unfortunately, I forced you to crush a Warrior Seal. If I knew that, I wouldn"t have pushed you that far."

"What? I can ask questions?" Qian Jin felt like he was mishearing due to the severe beating. He lost, so how can he still ask questions?

"Of course." Enlak raised his hand and opened his palm. "You only need to kill five opponents to ask me questions. You didn"t think that you could kill all one hundred warriors, right?" He laughed.

"I was teased!"

Qian Jin didn"t know how he should feel about this. "So Uncle Enlak who looks like he doesn"t like trick can still tease me, so Eulalia isn"t the only one here..." He thought.

"I didn"t say that you need to defeat them all in order to win, right?" Enlak smiled. "You are a warrior and not a butcher. Any battle is a miniature war. There are only three forms; one against one, one against many, and many against many. What else is different? The only outcome is that one party defeats the other party."

"A battle is like a war..."

Qian Jin got a good taste of what Enlak said. A lot of his vague feelings and sensation seemed to find a new direction and a lot of thoughts he had about battles and wars merged.

"How can you win if you don"t know the rules?" Enlak snapped his fingers and said. "Of course, if you are much stronger than me, then you don"t need to know the rules."

"I would make the rules..." Qian Jin finally understood that the reason why Enlak let him fight that unfair battle, on top of letting him get a taste of facing numerous opponents, he also got a good taste of so-called rules.

"What is a rule?" Enlak looked at Qian Jin as he asked. "I don"t think you understand it enough, otherwise, you would be able to defeat more opponents. Now, do you have the confidence to kill more of the warriors?"

Qian Jin shook his head. Although the Warrior Seal for Dividing Metal Multi-Chop regenerated itself, the best he could do was still twelve. If something went wrong, he might only be able to defeat fewer opponents.

"Therefore..." Enlak dragged out his voice as he walked towards Qian Jin, "You still don"t understand what I"m trying to tell you."

Qian Jin frowned. "Isn"t battle just like war, and the rules are made by the stronger party?" He thought.

"Let me ask you one question." Enlak raised his index finger on his right hand and asked, "Are you stronger? Is your Warrior-Heart is stronger?"

Qian Jin was surprised to hear this question. He had never thought of this question before. He would usually practice his Warrior Power, Warrior-Heart, and Fighting Techniques so he would use them in battle.

"Are you relying on your Warrior-Heart during battle, or are you using your Warrior-Heart during battle? Can you tell the difference?" Enlak shook his finger and said, "You can"t."

Qian Jin clenched his fists unconsciously. He felt like he had something, but he couldn"t explain what it was.

Enlak didn"t say anything else, he stared at Qian Jin in silence.

One minute... two minutes... five minutes... ten minutes…..

Qian Jin"s eyes suddenly shone as he raised his head. "I got it! Even if I couldn"t make the rule in the outside world, I can still control myself, then my fighting techniques..."

"Should be controlled by yourself." Enlak pointed at Qian Jin as he said, "Your fighting technique that used to use by your arms only, but is that the limit? Maybe you couldn"t control that in the beginning, but you need to try to control that. Humans are alive, and so are fighting techniques. Although it is hard, you have to make it follow your commands."

Qian Jin got so excited over this that he felt a numbness coming from his limbs. Various thoughts appeared in his head. "If what Uncle Enlak told me is true, then I was being too rigid. Since I used to subst.i.tute my palms as blades, why hadn"t I tried to subst.i.tute my arms or legs as arrows in shooting techniques?"

"Chain Arrows as fist techniques..."

Qian Jin gasped, and his Warrior-Heart started to rotate. A part of his Warrior Power slowly forced a series of arrangement patterns – it was Chain Arrow, the shooting technique of Yuri Divine Shot Bloodline Family.

Suddenly, he sensed a lot of pain. He knew that his first try in subst.i.tuting arms as arrows had a lot of errors in it, but he was able to try it many times until he figured out the appropriate arrangement.

The arrangement patterns were forced into Qian Jin"s arms and he felt a ton of pain as if his arms were being stabbed by thousands of needles. Moving the arms was painful, let alone punching with them.

"All thanks to Master Eulalia." Qian Jin breathed heavily. If it wasn"t for all the Volcano Potions he drank over the years, the pain wouldn"t be the only problem, his muscles would be torn apart by this.

Buzz...

A bowstring"s vibrating noise sounded as the Warrior Power shook under the arrangement pattern. In an instant, Qian Jin looked like a strong bow that was being pulled open. His shoulders lightly shook, and his fist that looked very bored and lonely shot out to the sky. The warrior power left a series of afterimages in the air as it pierced through the air and struck out far away like an arrow.

Enlak crossed his arms in front of his chest as his brows jumped. Qian Jin"s fist shot out like Chained Arrows. It was so fast that it would be hard for people to comprehend.

Fist like an arrowhead, arm like the arrow, and the shoulder like the bowstring. Like a team of archers that shoot arrows at the same time, Qian Jin"s strikes were so fast that it would be hard for someone to breath.

The arrangement patterns vibrated and the muscles on Qian Jin"s arm got twisted out of shape. However, the power of his strikes was breathtaking.

Two seconds pa.s.sed, but Qian Jin felt like it had been a century. He could only feel pain in his arms and nothing else.

"So it can be used this way." Qian Jin looked down at his arms as he thought, "How much training does my body have to go through to bear the stress from Chained Arrows? Can I spend more time on it to make it a better technique that other people can use as well?"

Qian Jin lightly shook his head. It required a lot of fundamental knowledge to improve or create a new technique and it required a lot of people and a lot of energy. It couldn"t be done by someone alone in a short time.

The new techniques the advanced academy offered was a key reason in attracting bloodline warriors.

Although ordinary warriors weren"t as powerful as bloodline warriors, they weren"t dumber. In fact, they were equally as good if not even better in terms of research and study.
