Chapter 120: Risking My Head

Suddenly, the wooden vehicle slightly jolted, and the old man disappeared without a trace. The perceptive Qian Jin felt a gust of wind forming behind his back. What’s more was that he felt like the target was his butt.
”Again?” Qian Jin thought back to the day when he was kicked into the lake. He immediately realized what was happening. He moved the Warrior Power in his 108 energy reservoirs to its peak, and the explosive power caused mud and snow to fly in the air. He seized the chance and rushed into the Frosting Ice Lake.
The old man missed his target and froze. ”How could this be? My kick was calculated according to the maximum strength he showed yesterday... Has his Warrior Power cycling speed improved this much in just one day? I wonder about his Warrior Power, too. Has this kid been exercising while he was asleep?”
Exercising? Jumping into the air, Qian Jin forced a smile in his heart, ”In what earth would that kind of sleeping be called exercising? I’m risking my head. The f**king odd medicine from Eulalia almost killed me. But fortunately, during those days in the Burning Fire Lake, I could use external resources to aid my inner body. Thanks to the potion, it’s beneficial both ways. Not only has my body and Warrior Power become much tougher, even my Warrior Power cycling speed has increased from my limit of 60 to an impossible 65.”
Puff. The minute Qian Jin dived into the water, his hair raised up like rows of needles. It was even colder than he imagined. He felt like he was about to be frozen into a popsicle.
The arctic water covered the blood vessels under his skin and began to cool down his flowing blood immediately. If this continued, his blood might freeze.
The impossible 65 cycles were decreased to only 55 once he got into the water. The water wasn’t just solidifying his blood, but also his Warrior Power.
”This...” After trembling, Qian Jin started to dance with the Forging Breath Technique. His body was quickly restored to a normal temperature and his Warrior Power was back to the normal level again.
The old man was once again shocked. What kind of freak was this young man? He thought that the frigid lake would lower his Warrior Power cycling speed to 30, but it seemed like it had bounced back after reaching 50. He should have not possessed such a strong defensive ability if he had just reached Wind and Cloud Stone Body instead of Wind and Cloud Golden Body. Did he have a special method to temper his body to make his body so strong?
Huh? Just some casual workout under the water could bring him back to normal so soon? The old man scratched his gray hair as a perplexed look covered his face. ”How did this kid do it?
”Son, aren’t you a fish there?” The aged fellow pointed towards the inner space. ”Don’t waste your time here. Swim to the inner area.”
Qian Jin looked at the stone beside the old man’s foot and recalled the lessons in the other lake. The old man cast a waist-high stone down upon him in the water when he hesitated to move.
Qian Jin chose to go deeper into the lake, sparing himself from a hitting stone.
Sophia touched the icy mirror out of curiosity, and an instant tremble sneaked upon her fingers. She used her Warrior Energy several times in succession, yet it barely chased the cold air away.
”Isn’t it freezing?” The old man drew an egg out of nowhere and gently put it in the lake for a few seconds. After he picked it up and broke its shell, an orange icy ball appeared.
”Look at this.” The old man flicked his wrist, and the icy ball hit a small stone on the edge of the lake. Out of expectation, the broken object was the stone.
”Isn’t it awesome? It only takes a few breaths to freeze and kill a rabbit in the lake.” The old man grinned at the two girls who were completely stunned at the lake. However, the weird look on them intrigued him. Following their eyes, the old man was almost astonished to death. Qian Jin was 200 meters away.
”Is this kid trying to scare off my heart? Is he doing this on purpose?” The old man rubbed his forehead as he was startled by the distance. ”For God’s sake, it’s 200 meters. Is he going to die if he doesn’t play with fire?”
..230...270. The eyes of the wrinkled old man twitched again and again. It was so much further than he had expected. Could the young pup handle it? It would become more and more difficult to swim further into the cold lake, yet he had actually travelled another 70 meters. Was he out of his mind?
”Can the water be any colder?” Qian Jin’s lips paled at first, and then they seemed to become blue and cold. The rotation speed of his warrior power could no longer maintain 65 cycles; instead, it was lowered down to 40. Eulalia’s unbearable potion finally played a powerful role this time. He managed to stay at his current distance of 270 meters. ”I have to stop here, or I may really go back to the Stars.”
Qian Jin submerged his entire body into the lake. The next second, he was wrapped tightly in a net formed by the surrounding coldness, which was continuously shrinking. He instantly spread his 40-cycle warrior power throughout his body, intending to block the frigid air like what he had done last time in the Burning Fire Lake. But soon, he found out that it wouldn’t work here. The heat of the flames had kept brushing his exterior warrior power network that day. Once it succeeded, it went inside his interior and continued brushing.
This coldness here wasn’t brushing against him at all. Instead, it was strengthening the warrior power network... But the weird thing was that along with his network, his blood was turned into frozen icy blocks.
