Chapter 192: The Strongest Opponent Yet!
Translator: UdongEditor: EbonyFrost/Udong
At the sight of Enlak’s aggressive look, Qian Jin put on a light smile from the corner of his mouth, ”After all, a test not only exists in the battlefield. To make a choice is also a kind of challenge. Your words are as sharp as a blade, trying to disrupt my mental peace.”
Enlak opened his eyes wide and clapped his hands repeatedly, ”You do have a bright mind to have seen through my covert attack. It seems that my words pose no threat to your firm will. So will you insist on the previous choice to challenge the stronger opponents?”
”Can you stop misleading me? You're still trying to trap me with your words.” Qian Jin said in a scornful way, ”I’m really stupid to have made a wrong choice the first time. You never said whether this was a multiple choice or a single one, yet I have been taking it as a single choice question. But now, I decide to choose both the two.”
”Good!”
Enlak suddenly rose up from his seat and said in such a loud voice that it made the whole fighting practice field tremble with him. Qian Jin frowned hard, and picked his ears for a while, trying to dig out the blade-like voice from his ears.
Qian Jin uttered a long sigh, knowing that he had just passed the first test of this warrior energy house. He wondered what would be waiting for him if he again took the first choice without much thought.
”Now you can decide on the number of opponents.” Enlak waved his hands, and five Level 9 Demon Fighters rose up from the crowd.
The five warriors uttered a loud shout at the same time, and their warrior power as Level 9 Demon Fighters spouted out overwhelmingly! Such power was coupled with their desire for the battle which formed a huge and invisible pressure for Qian Jin.
”These are all Level 9 Demon Fighters?” Qian Jin took a deep breath, eyes filled with rising excitement for the coming fight, as he hadn’t really had face-to-face combat with someone of the same level as him ever since he became a Level 9 Demon Fighter. The one and only life-or-death battle happened several days ago on the frontier between him and an Iron-arm Mantis Bloodline Warrior.
”How many of them do you intend to fight against?” Enlak glanced at his five warrior apprentices and said gently, ”They are the strongest among all the Level 9 Demon Fighters of Phase 1 here, so you’d better think about it carefully.”
”Maybe all of them.”
Qian Jin looked at those five Demon Fighters eagerly. Ever since he left the Four Season Valley he hadn’t found a worthy opponent to measure his power. The fight with the severely hurt Nila might be counted as one, but only in the sense of a quick battle.
”All of them?” Enlak asked again, ”Are you sure of that?”
”Am I allowed to hurt any of them?” Qian Jin tried to hold down the warrior power that was floating throughout his body, ”If necessary, I might hurt all of them.”
”Challenge five rivals of the same level as you?” Enlak wore a more shocked look, ”You five, fight with him altogether. I’d like to see how strong this bloke is.”
Roar!
The five warriors uttered a loud shout altogether, which echoed in the entire fighting practice field and added to the murderous ambiance. They trod on the ground as if they were military honor guards who had conducted such drills multiple times and rushed at Qian Jin from five directions, stirring numerous wood bits to fly in the sky!
Hoot!
The moment the fight started, Qian Jin could only see a fist drawing near to him, of which the warrior power bulge up its entire tissue as well as the flying wooden pieces stirred by the kicking hind leg! What unfolded in front of Qian Jin’s eyes were the kicking legs of those opponents’, coupled with their chopping hands whose palms were put together like huge blades!
These five Level 9 Demon Fighters started their attack at the same time! Their power was even more compelling than Nila! Qian Jin’s eyelids cramped uncontrollably, feeling shocked by the attacking force formed by these five Level 9 Demon Fighters! It seemed to be a painstaking task to get hold of the attack patterns of all these opponents.
Come on! Help me understand my own power! Qian Jin took a deep breath, trying to absorb the power of the coming fists inside him. Among his one hundred and eight warrior reservoirs, fifty were activated through consecutive conglomeration, while the remaining fifty-eight were opened up to exude Level 9 Demon Fighter warrior power without being consecutively awakened.
The fists in front of Qian Jin’s eyes were opened all of a sudden, turning into huge claws which grew a size larger than before. With their fingers becoming as big as carrots, they chopped their discus-like hands towards Qian Jin’s forehead.
Fighting technique! Vigor Flame Bear Angry Palm Strike! It was said that when the Demon Flame Bear was activated, its special beast fighting technique could make the claws grow one size larger. Even if you tried to fight back with your iron armor, it would smash your armor and fracture your bones.
In the face of the chopping of Flame Bear Angry Palm Strike at his forehead, Qian Jin didn’t activate any fighting technique but used his Wind and Cloud Golden Body as a defense. He lifted his arms to withhold the attack of his opponents, through which two violent warrior powers collided with each other, producing a dull crashing sound of muscles and a shattering of the floor. Qian Jin felt slightly burnt on his palms, so he opened his fingers and tried to grasp his opponents’ fists.
”Terrible!”
The five warriors shouted out of fear, and retracted their bulging palms, as their fighting technique was broken through by Qian Jin! They also felt feeble at their feet at the sight of Qian Jin’s grasping palms as they had thought about his suplex moves displayed just now! they realized that their opponent didn’t only possess ferocious warrior strength, his abnormally immense power could make a four-hundred-pound man fall from one side to another.
Generally, what followed the attack of Flame Bear Angry Palm Strike was the Flame Bear Frantic Hit. However, at this moment it couldn’t be activated at all, and the entire attacking tempo was disturbed to the core.
Before these warriors could stand on the ground firm, a huge airflow came in front of them as Qian Jin had approached them. A surprising look flashed onto these warriors’ face, as what Qian Jin was performing was the Fury Lotus Fighting Technique! And the footwork used by Qian Jin was the Fury Lotus Steps, similar to what the little girl had performed during their combat.
Yet the footwork performed by the girl was delicate and graceful, but what Qian Jin displayed was as fast as thunderclaps as if a lotus had suddenly blossomed in its full strength!
A palm was fully opened by around his lower belly, and the palm print which resembled a blossomy lotus was firmly stuck in his belly.
This was not the Fury Lotus Fighting Technique! He had just imitated its look, but his way of energizing the warrior power followed the ordinary paths! As this idea flashed in one of the five warriors’ mind, he bounced up high as he was hit by Qian Jin’s strike on the lower stomach. The strong force made the back of his warrior clothes bulge high, and he couldn’t hold anymore but spat out some blood onto the ground.
The other four warriors performed their boxing moves together. Qian Jin slightly contracted his body and bulged his back, eyes closely locked on the coming attack of these four warriors.
Bang bang bang bang!
With these warriors’ incessant attacks using fists and feet, Qian Jin activated his warrior power of Wind and Cloud Golden Body, by which the coming attack was shielded out by his golden body before it could get close to him.
Returning the power? During the past two years in the Four Season Valley, if he became slow in returning the power even for the slightest moment, he could have been burnt or frozen to death in the strange lake. Thus if the fists and feet were not fast enough, if even the Wind and Cloud Golden Body could be smashed, no injuries would be caused to Qian Jin at all!
It hurts! Qian Jin was hit by one move of the Land Tearing Chop from his opponents, of which the pain could be compared to the punch given by Nila when he was severely hurt. Fighting technique! This was the might of a high-leveled fighting technique! During special occasions, a Level 9 Demon Fighter was able to exert the lethal force of Level 1 Demon Capturer.
Such a fighting technique could exert such great might by these people, and what if it belonged to me? Qian Jin narrowed his eyes which were brimming with cold light. He then rushed at the opponent who was performing Land Tearing Chop, seized the kicking foot with his arms, pulled up this opponent and thew at another opponent.
Bang, bang, bang!
The fight broke out in the blink of an eye and came to an end just as quickly. Qian Jin stood in his original place, kneading his lower belly which was hurting. The lethality of Land Tearing Chop was stronger than he imagined. Though his body wasn't wounded, the place where he was hit upon did hurt a lot. And the fist from another opponent triggered burning might! The fighting technique formed by warrior power produced a heat as fierce as flames!
Frowning, Qian Jin felt admiration toward his opponents. Was it not for his adaptability to such high temperatures through training in the strange lake, he would have been penetrated by the burning power given by the sudden fist attack, which would reduce his warrior power greatly. Was this the rarely-seen elemental warrior technique? Qian Jin felt it a surprise that this warrior energy house possessed such a technique.
The fighting practice field was set into silence again. The surrounding warriors were looking at the drill field blankly, mouths opened wide.
