Magic core! Qian Jin finally knew what he was missing. Turned out that when he was in the Endless World, Gloria woke up and took his magic core; although it was useless to warriors, it was extremely precious to mages.
Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders; he really didn’t care. Instead, he looked at this extremely talented mage genius with curiosity. He thought,
Could she really do the unthinkable and use this magic core to condense her spiritual power into magic power? Other mages have to use a Magic Power Concentration Array!
After Qian Jin stared at Gloria who was meditating for a while, he felt a bit bored. He stood up and stretched his body. He realized that the energy connection in his body had increased in size compared to when he just advanced to a Level 10 Warrior. Now, the size of his energy connection was about eleven times thicker than his initial energy connections; even his physical strength had increased a bit as well.
Qian Jin quietly walked out of cave. He looked at the direction of Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy, and then up at the stars that were still visible in the sky. He thought,
Who could have thought that someone like me who failed the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony changed so much in this short amount of time? Now I can’t wait to leave this valley!
How long was a night?
At most, it was only about half a day.
In a night, a bamboo could grow from a few inches to half a man tall. In a night, a Horton Tree could grow from half a feet to three men tall, and it would grow thick enough that even an adult could only barely hug it.
This kind of knowledge was nothing new to the humans in Zence Empire or the barbarians at the north; even demons kids knew about it clearly.
However, in a short night, a person who was already at the peak of Level 10Wwarrior had made more progress; it was a big step forward!
The elder started at Qian Jin in astonishment. In a short night, Qian Jin’s strength, warrior energy, spirit, and lower half of his body, which was the weakest part of him, had all increased and progressed greatly!
You…
The elder walked around Qian Jin two full circles and carefully observed him as if he had never met Qian Jin before. He frowned subconsciously and tapped his thumbs against each other with his hands at his back as a serious expression appeared on his face.
Is this kid a monster?
The elder thought about it and hypothesized. He thought that Qian Jin who achieved the Stone Body Level in Wind and Cloud Golden Body would need some time to get use to it and practice a bit more before he could truly master this level.
But how did he master this Stone Body in just a night? How did he do it? Even I used a full month before I truly mastered it when I was practicing it,
the elder thought.
One night…
The elder murmured as a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Come on… This is a big hit to my confidence. When my master was teaching me, he called me a genius already…
The elder couldn’t believe everything that he was seeing. His eyebrows relaxed as a joyful smile overtook his serious expression.
Qian Jin was feeling a bit uncomfortable. He was standing beside the hot late, but he had goosebumps that would only appear if he was feeling cold and standing beside an icy lake.
Interesting, this is really interesting.
The elder smiled as he nodded.
I thought that you could only use the Warrior Energy Concentration Array after a while of training; I didn’t expect you to reach this stage this fast.
Warrior Energy Concentration Array?
Qian Jin knew that this day would come, but he was still excited and a bit nervous when he heard it.
Advancing to a Demon Fighter! This leap of faith was as difficult as stepping from the ground to the sky in many warrior’s eyes!
I think you know what you need to do before you enter the Warrior Energy Concentration Array.
The elder said in the tone as if he was an examiner and trying to test Qian Jin.
Qian Jin nodded proudly; as someone who worked in the library at the Qian Family, he had read numerous books.
The biggest difference between a Level 10 Warrior and a Demon Fighter was the warrior energy and the warrior power! If a warrior didn’t have the secret techniques in training scrolls regarding condensing warrior energy into warrior power, then the warrior would only have warrior energy and stay at level of a Level 10 Warrior!
If a warrior wanted to become a Demon Fighter, then he or she would have to learn a set of special techniques that could convert warrior energy into warrior power. Every big family, the royal family, every academy, and even the military had their own very special training scroll, and all these training scrolls were confidential and kept from outsiders.
Kid, I couldn’t tell from just looking at you. You really know a lot of stuff.
The elder praised as he said with a bit of surprised tone.
Then do you know what kind of warrior power training scroll is in the most advanced and prestigious warrior academy at Zence Empire?
The elder followed with a question.
Qian Jin frowned as he sighed and shook his head. Although this kind of information was confidential, some outsiders had some information about the techniques of other big influential families or powerhouses. However, the people who knew this information were rare. Even the Qian Family followed the unwritten rule between the big powerhouses and didn’t record anything on this topic on the books in its library.
There are quite a few secret techniques and training scrolls that could condense warrior energy into warrior power.
The elder said as he looked at the snow that was falling from the sky; a very confident sensation came off of him.
There are secret techniques such as Twelve Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques, Thirty Six Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques…
Qian Jin nodded subconsciously as he listened the elder’s words. All the energy reservoirs in a human’s body could be divided into two categories: live reservoirs and dead reservoirs. There was a total of a hundred and eight of live reservoirs and a hundred and eight dead reservoirs.
When a Level 10 Warrior was trying to condense warrior energy into warrior power, his or her own hard work and the location he or she had would determine how far he or she could go as a warrior in the future. But one other very important factor was the training scroll, aka Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques!
There was an old saying that every warrior knew; it emphasized the importance of training scrolls. It went like this:
When condensing warrior energy into warrior power, training scrolls that can develop more energy reservoirs will result in a better future.
The best and most talented student at the most prestigious warrior academy could learn…
The elder dragged his voice as he showed a number with his hand,
the Seventy Two Energy Reservoir Cycle Technique…
Seventy Two Energy Reservoir Cycle Technique?
Qian Jin’s body shook in surprise. He almost bit his tongue! He couldn’t believe the big number that he heard!
Although he had never seen any training scrolls before, Qian Jin knew clearly that it was difficult to add one more energy reservoir to the training scroll that could condense warrior energy into warrior power.
Any good academy would have Twelve Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques. However, these kind of training scrolls could only open up two more energy reservoirs in a Level 10 Warrior. This would limit the future of warriors who chose to go with it. Typically, the warriors who chose this path had unspeakable hardships.
Any training scroll that was above Twenty Four Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques were kept confidential by the royal family, big families, and prestigious warrior academies. Even though these were only Twenty Four Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques, they were different from each other; they had different training styles and they activated twenty four different energy reservoirs typically.
Training scrolls like Seventy Two Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques were rare and concealed. These training scrolls wouldn’t be given to someone if he or she only had talent. The only ones who could get these rare training scrolls were those who had to go through a series of examinations to test for his or her loyalty to the family or academy, fighting ability, and etc.
Any warrior who trained using Seventy Two Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques was the best among the best in any organization or family!
Wind and Cloud Warrior Power Training Scroll was able to activate a hundred and eight energy reservoirs! Qian Jin felt like he was about to faint due to the heavy doses of happiness. A Hundred and Eight Energy Reservoir Cycle Techniques was priceless!
The elder looked at Qian Jin proudly. He was shocked by Qian Jin after a night of not seeing him, but he had finally shocked Qian Jin for good this time; this was like a little revenge for him.
Take it.
The elder shook his wrist, and somehow a red stone appeared in his hand. He threw it to Qian Jin as he said,
Inject your warrior energy into it. Memorize everything carefully, then jump into the lake and condense your warrior energy into warrior power last.
Oh right. Also, this is the unlocking path diagram for the Arcane Memory Stone.
As the elder said that, he flipped his wrist again and took a piece of paper out of somewhere.
Qian Jin’s hands that didn’t even shake when he was holding onto hammers that were hundreds of pounds heavy started to shake as he lightly rubbed the red stone in his hands. He was too excited, and the excitement became uncontrollable after he got the diagram from the elder.
Arcane Memory Stone! One of the requirements to unlock it was to have Level 10 Warrior Energy. If the warrior didn’t have the energy, then this stone would be a piece of trash in his or her hands.
The difficulty level of unlocking Arcane Memory Stones was correlated to the power of the warriors who created these Arcane Memory Stones. The Arcane Memory Stones made by the top-tier warriors all had a unique unlocking path that Level 10 Warrior Energy had to travel by. If one didn’t know the path and wanted to unlock the stone by force, then the end result would be a destroyed stone even if this person was the bloodline warrior who had the Ultimate Awakening.
Having the Arcane Memory Stone that had an unlocking path in his hands, Qian Jin believed what the elder said about the strength of the creator of the Wind and Cloud Warrior Power Training Scroll a bit more.
After memorizing the unlocking path in his mind, Qian Jin lightly shook his wrist as he injected his Level 10 Warrior Energy into the Arcane Memory Stone.
In an instant, a dim light lit up inside the dark red stone as if a fire ignited inside it. Slowly, the
fire
spread itself into multiple streams, and they twisted and tangled with each other as they squeezed out of the stone. After they twirled around Qian Jin’s wrist, like a paper that was just opening up, they formed a sheet that was in the shape of a square. Each side was three meters. There was a lot of writing on it, but it didn’t feel crowed and clustered at all. As if every character and word was engraved on a stone, they were extremely clear!
When Qian Jin looked at it, he felt like these red words were also engraved in his head.
Such vigorous and forceful writing, these words seems like they are about to come to life.
Qian Jin praised.
There are a lot of collections of calligraphy masters’ work at the Qian Family, but they all seem weak compared with this writing.
In the middle of this three meters squared sheet, a portion of it resembled a movie scene. There was a warrior with elegant long hair, and he was levitating in the sky. All the red lights turned into clouds and surrounded this warrior, and it made Qian Jin feel like this warrior was untouchable.
This warrior’s hands and feet started to move slightly, and his whole body moved with his hands and feet too. His movements were suddenly hard and direct like a strong wind. Then, they were suddenly soft like a breeze. Although the way this warrior’s movement was frequently out of Qian Jin’s expectation, after Qian Jin thought about it, he felt like every movement the warrior took was filled with reason, and the warrior gave off a very natural and majestic feeling.
Wind, created by the nature, has no shape and no shadow. If it enters the ocean, it can create tides that could cover the sky; if it enters a desert, it could kill all living creatures. Cloud, it sits on the sky. It is constantly changing; it has no steady state. It has no settling place. It will disperse when it meets the wind, and when rain…
