Hearing what Qian Jin had said, several warriors in the library all cast him astonished eyes, secretly trying to guess who this douche was! Although the Belia with a long crooked tornado, yellow hair and sturdy bodies were lazy, they were still one of the Seven Demon Species! Each one of them was strong enough that they could rank in! How dare this stupid young man look down upon the Belia Demons!
Belia! Belia!
Qian Jin left his seat with a faintly excited heart! He had only seen the Belia Demons in a book before! Although he had gone through some deadly struggles, he had never really fought against Demons! This time he finally had the opportunity to see live Demons! The ultimate enemy of the Zence Empire warriors! Whoever had not wrestled with the Demons was not qualified to be called a real warrior!
Away from the Oakland Mage and Warrior Novice Academy for two years, Qian Jin was now like a transparent person. No teacher made him behave him and no one to ask, he just walked out of college during the class hour! Even the janitor did not pay him another look, leaving him directly to go to the Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop.
Welcome to the Franklin’s, what can I do for you?
The slightly shabby blacksmith shop two years ago had now long been renovated into a much more fancy one! Even the staff was all in uniforms, and there were even polite ushers standing in front of the door!
Well, it had changed a lot! Two years ago, he would be recognized immediately by any one of them! Qian Jin smiled and just when he was about to speak, a roar thundered through the room,
You idiot! Do you know who he is? This is Master Qian, who you should call him boss!
Master? All the curious eyes in the room, including the staff’s and the customers’, were instantly gathered on Qian Jin! Master? But he was such a young man! If it had been someone else, they would treat it only as a joke, but it was Franklin, now the first blacksmith in Oakland City! Usually, it was him who others would esteem as a master, and today he even called such a young man Master!
You finally came back!
Franklin grabbed Qian Jin, showing him around the store. Facing all the staff he shouted,
Open all your blind eyes! This is Master Qian! From now on, you must show him more respect than you did to me! All clear?
Under all the stunned looks, Qian Jin blushed and he quickly dragged Franklin to the furnace in the backyard.
Kid, shouldn’t you be in a class at such an early time?
I gotta forge something up for an errand in a few days.
Out again? Won’t it be two years this time? Is it dangerous? How about I hire a team of Adventurers to be your bodyguard?
Thanks, but I…doesn’t need it…After all, I am still a warrior…
Hiring a team of adventurers? People all were pricking their ears and looking at each other while listening to the two conversationalists. That would cost a lot! Even the manager himself hadn’t spent so much on his own life, why was he willing to spend so much on such a young man? Was he a descendant of some big force?
Yo! Qian Jin, you come back!
Look, it’s really Qian Jin!
Missing for two years, you grew much taller huh!
They were still the backyard blacksmiths they had been two years ago! One by one they stopped the business in hand, and then affectionately embrace Qian Jin! It seemed just like before!
Where have you been these two years?
Boy, do you know how much we worried about you?
Looking at these familiar faces and listening to their caring words, Qian Jin was filled with warmth! These people had neither potency nor money, but with them, Qian Jin felt much greater and easier than being with those so-called elites in Rollin’s house yesterday!
What are you doing all around him?
Franklin pushed all them away,
Go to work! Hurry up! He’s going out in a few days! Don’t gather here! He needs to forge a weapon!
Hearing the words, all blacksmiths immediately dispersed, leaving him the best furnace and a trolley of iron embryos! They all stepped back, looking at him with swelling anticipation and enthusiasm.
They clearly remembered how the young man consumed three trolleys of iron embryos in order to forge the Zhanmadao! That sharp blade was such a masterpiece! As they sank into the past days, the missing unique metal collision sounds were suddenly heard once again!
Franklin gazed at Qian Jin blankly! He had thought that after the two years of hard training, his skills should have been closer to Qian JIn’s. He did not expect that after all this time, Qian Jin had improved to another level!
At the end of the morning, a pair of swords for Sophia was placed on the shelf, quietly blooming with a dazzling coldness. Franklin gently tapped the blade body and was immediately amazed by a crisp metal buzzing sound! From shaping to sharpening, this Level 9 Refined Iron piece only cost Qian Jin a few hours! How unbelievable!
After that, Qian Jin set about forging some small things like palm-long throwing knives and some glittering arrowheads. But he didn’t rush into the different arrowheads installment when he finished all the forging work. After reading the weapon records in Blake’s Blacksmith Shop, Qian Jin now had a more profound understanding of arrows.
Arrows, also known as the eight vectors, were generally divided into various categories and then subdivided into 98 types such as trident arrows, drill arrows, unbuckled arrows, unfeathered arrows and so on…
Seeing that Qian Jin had extinguished the fire, Franklin smiled and asked,
Finished? What ‘s the matter about the installment?
The materials here were not what he needed and he must go to Fabreidis’s for some help! Qian JIn shook his head,
l still have some unfinished business! I’ll come by another time!
Franklin didn’t urge him to stay, which would seem impersonal! It was not the way that families treated each other!
Boy, come back early.
Got it.
Out of the yard, Qian Jin suddenly stopped and said,
All right, if there’s a woman called Sophia coming for the pair of swords, give it to her.
No problem!
Qian Jin turned and waved, walking all the way to the home of Fabreidis.
While he walked to the end of the street, a young man in a warrior costume of the Oakland Mage and Warrior Novice Academy blocked his way, carrying a flexible wooden stick in his hand.
Are you Qian Jin?
Qian Jin nodded while observing the warrior student who stood in his way! He had a second-grade badge and a fairly robust body, and some grudges between his eyebrows!
Why?
The warrior looked up and down at Qian Jin,
Why can you go to the General Exam? It should be me!
Qian Jin suddenly laughed. He came to realize what the lion in the path came for! Rodriguez must have posted the exam list and the defiant warrior was here for an explanation!
What are you laughing at? For this spot, I have worked hard for two years!
The young warrior kicked the stick into the air and grabbed it, issuing a light but anxious trembling,
Rumor has it you even took two years to pass the test, so why can you take my place? Give it back to me!
I would give it back to you if it were in the past!
Qian Jin tutted,
But now the problem is, Instructor Rodriguez has taken out all he had to bet on this unified exam! I cannot let you destroy him! So, I’m sorry, kid!
Kid?
The challenger raised his long eyebrows and the defiance in the eyes turned into anger,
How about I teach you some lessons and then you surrender the spot back to this ‘kid’?
Level 7 warrior energy! Qian Jin was a little amazed! No wonder this kid dared to come! It was truly something worthy of pride at his age!
The kid lifted the long stick in his hand, and his waist and legs led the body slightly up and down like a cavalry riding a horse on the battlefield! He flicked his arms, taking one of the two hands as the starting point of the attack and in a blink, the whole long stick rushed to the target’s lower abdomen like a snake suddenly out of a cave.
By the momentum, the long stick reached Qian Jin’s waist in a second! The young warrior even heard the impact sound in advance.
A tut drifted in the air! The young man did have some solid basic skills; he knew to take the advantage and attack first! It would have taken Qian Jin some efforts if it had been two years ago, but now?
The long weapon was so anxious to reach his waist again that the challenger’s hand initiated the second strike! The front of the stick suddenly flicked and the warrior stuck it to the other side of Qian Jin’s body! Bang! The tip, about one foot long, whipped to the waist once again!
A force point! Qian Jin was amazed a little more! It would reach the best effect using the one feet long tip of the stick to smack the opponent! The force was much greater than the other places. So, any point within this range could be called a force point! It was the exact strike that both warriors would want to play on each other when in a fight!
Bang! The stick shot at Qian Jin’s waist, but not a single scream came out as the kid had predicted! Along with the cracking sound, the one-foot tip that touched the enemy burst out in the air! Countless wood chips floated! A force along with half of the stick exploded in the kid’s palm, dyeing the part between the thumb and the index finger into the color of bright red!
What? How could it be? The young warrior couldn’t even feel his shoulders! He blankly looked at Qian Jin coming over to his direction. He didn’t know if it was for the broken stick, but the gigantic figure in the sunset became unusually tall, like the legendary Bulk Demons!
