Chapter 277: Warrior Heart Lock

Translator: Udong Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong

After all, the defeat of the three Elf-king Bloodline Warriors of the Qian Family by an abandoned member sounded somewhat shameful. It would be better to have the younger generation take the revenge, or...

Qian Jin suddenly felt a chill all over his body as he was imaging what would happen two months later. How would Qian Zhanxuan react if he defeated the younger Elf-king Bloodline Warriors of the Qian Family again? That man might possibly pull strings to have him killed. So how should he behave in the fight to be put on two months later? Lose? The descendants of the Qian Family wouldn’t treat him benevolently.

Win? How would Qian Zhanxuan deal with him then? Strong men were hailed for their combat abilities, instead of the so-called benevolent manner.

"You know what Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock is?" Enlak posed a question and pulled Qian Jin back from his imagination.

Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock? Qian Jin shook his head repeatedly. How could someone who had no knowledge of Warrior Heart Awareness know what Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock was?

"Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock is the advanced technique of Warrior Heart." Enlak pondered for a while and said, "Simply speaking, it is similar to the Mute Spell possessed by the mages."

Mute Spell? Qian Jin recalled the combat method Gloria employed the other day. With a move of the Mute Spell, she muted the opponent to stop him from chanting magic and had thus put an end to him.

"Yet it is a little different from the Mute Spell." Enlak frowned in contemplation and explained to Qian Jin. "The Supreme Mages don’t bother to chant their magic unless it’s needed to fuel an advanced magic spell. As for inferior magic? They could instantly activate such magic without chanting. Even if they are caught by the Mute Spell, they are still free to do everything they like, including casting a pile of magic fireballs at the enemy." action

Qian Jin kept nodding his head. Mute Spell might be of use to the lower-leveled mages to some extent as they were incapable of chanting the magic and were thus fearful of it. But to the Supreme Mages who could cast their magic within a blink, the Mute Spell was of no use at all.

"Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock is totally different. It locks a warrior’s warrior reservoirs and connections by forming a chain on his or her warrior power, thus the warrior will be deprived of their force despite the fact that the warrior power is still resting within him." Enlak tapped on the wooden floor he was sitting on with his fingers. "Simply speaking, a warrior who is hit by this strike is totally incapacitated, unless he asks a Saint-leveled warrior for help. Of course, like the Mute Spell, Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock cannot be imposed on someone of the same level as you. You can just bully the kids with this skill."

Ask a Saint-leveled warrior to unlock it? Qian Jin quivered slightly. That was to say, if he asked Fabreidis to stand by him, Qian Zhanxuan would figure that Fabreidis was here to help him unlock the Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock, and thus the doubt on Qian Jin himself would be cleared away. In this way, maybe he could gain some odds of survival.

"Another question." Enlak looked at Qian Jin, "How did you open the Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock? This ought to be impossible for you."

"I buried myself in the burning desert and absorbed the surrounding heat, in an attempt to melt the inner lock..."

"It couldn’t be melted in this way." Enlak wore a doubtful look and kept shaking his head.

"Yeah, it couldn’t be melted this way. I was naïve to have this idea." Qian Jin wore a self-mocking smile and shrugged. "But strangely, at the crucial moment, the Forging Breathing Technique taught by Blake rushed out of the dead reservoirs, which then absorbed the heat and burnt down the lock little by little until my warrior power was purified and the Warrior Heart was created."

"Forging Breathing Technique? Blake taught you the Forge Breathing Technique?"

The lofty posture of Enlak disappeared all of a sudden, and he nearly fell from the mat to the ground. On his face, there was a sheer surprise, which didn’t die down until a while later. He looked Qian Jin up and down with eyes still stained with doubt.

The same look again? Qian Jin recalled Adams’ halting way when speaking of Uncle Blake and then looked to the changing expression of Enlak, feeling more curious about Blake’s real identity. Why did the Forging Breathing Technique make Enlak, someone who had obtained the Second Warrior Body, so surprised? Even the Saint-leveled warrior Fabreidis didn’t have that Second Warrior Body.

"All right. He has already taught you the Innumerable Shadows." Enlak waved his hand and became calm again. "Let’s go on with the Heaven Earth Warrior Heart Lock that is controlled by Warrior Heart Awareness. Simply put, what do you think the Warrior Heart is? Only an ability to control the surrounding forces?"

"Given your present level, you should be clear that warrior power is, in fact, a living thing, instead of an inanimate existence."

Qian Jin raised his eyebrows, "And as a living thing, it has a heart or a magic core."

"Definitely." Enlak pointed to Qian Jin’s chest, "The location of the Warrior’s Heart varies from person to person. Some may have it in their arms, some in the back of the heart, and others in their legs. But the best place is here."

Enlak pointed to the center of Qian Jin’s brows. "This is where the best Warrior Heart is generated, followed by the center of the chest."

Qian Jin looked at Enlak inquisitively, wondering what the differences were.

"For example, if someone’s warrior heart is located in his right hand," Enlak clenched his right fist, and activated his warrior power, which triggered the air of the hall to vibrate, "Then the strongest part and the greatest power of his entire Warrior’s Heart will be centered here. And it will be the source of the Soul Power as well like this..."

The golden warrior power on Enlak’s arm kept wriggling as if it had been rubbed by a plasticine artisan. The head of the legendary dragon formed by warrior power was now covering his arm, which produced a constant roaring sound.

"Can you deny that his right hand is the strongest?"

Enlak softly flung his right arm covered with warrior power.

At the sight of Enlak’s move, Qian Jin didn’t know what to say, since what he was seeing had gone far beyond his understanding of warrior power.

"Warrior power, after all, is not like a human; therefore, Warrior Heart gave it life, and the Warrior Heart also is connected to your brain generate the so-called awareness. This is the basic form of the Warrior Heart Awareness."

Enlak pointed to Qian Jin’s chest. "Your Warrior Heart is merely a Warrior Heart without any Awareness. Now close your eyes and try to communicate with the Warrior Heart. You need to tell yourself that it is an integral part of your body and even make yourself believe that it is your own baby."

Qian Jin closed his eyes and used his warrior power to feel the Warrior Heart inside his body which released and contracted like his real heart and triggered the warrior power to increase correspondingly.

"The Warrior Heart Awareness indeed cannot be explained by words." Enlak stood up and relaxed his shoulder. "I can just give you this hint, while the rest of it needs to be felt by yourself. Only the things understood by yourself could be deemed as your knowledge. The more you know, the stronger you will be, and the greater power you could exert in battle. All right, this is all I can explain to you as required by Blake."

Warrior Heart Awareness? What is Warrior Heart Awareness? Qian Jin couldn’t feel the dialogue inside him, so he slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and bowed at Enlak. "Uncle, I want to challenge the dojo."

Enlak wore a pretty appreciative look, feeling like it was easy to talk with the clever youngsters, as no words functioned better than real practice.

Enlak stepped backward, and Qian Jin No.2, who looked identical to Qian Jin, showed up in Qian Jin’s face.

It was the Second Warrior Body again but was infused with a stronger power than the last time.

"You cannot use Innumerable Shadows this time." Enlak sat back by the wall. "You will be bullying the Second Warrior Body made to be at the same level as you. It is so unfair that Uncle Blake taught you Innumerable Shadows and not me. How could you have won his likings with your ugly face?"

Ugly? Qian Jin lifted his hand and felt for his face, saying to himself that although he was not endowed with a face as pretty as Cech Flet, he was, after all, not ugly-looking.

The Second Warrior Body suddenly moved and activated its Warrior Heart with a radius of one meter of control...

Looking at this Second Warrior Body made by Enlak, Qian Jin really wanted to shout out loud. "Is this a body of the same level as me?" Qian Jin himself only had the control of the energy half a meter around him...

The Second Warrior Body didn’t leave Qian Jin time to call for justice. Instead, it thrust against the ground, performed a strike of the Fury Lotus Fighting Technique, and dashed toward Qian Jin. Just within a blink, its warrior power was again lifted by a great deal.

Level 10 Land Tearing Chop! Ten meters of coverage.

Qian Jin suddenly felt extremely pressed. Every corner around him was filled with the piercing sound made by Land Tearing Cho. All his potential leeway had been blocked.

Retreat? Where? Even if he used Innumerable Shadows, he wouldn’t be able to move. It was not until this moment did Qian Jin understood why Uncle Enlak forbade him from using Innumerable Shadows, to force him into a real head to head battle.

Now that he couldn’t escape or flinch, the only thing he could do was face it head-on.

As the Wind and Cloud Warrior Power had filled Qian Jin’s arms following the sequence of Dividing Metal Multi-chops, a buzzing air vibrating sound rang with the friction between his bones, warrior power, and muscles.

Clank clank clank clank.

The air vibration coming to Enlak’s ears resembled the clank rung from the sword rubbing with its scabbard upon unsheathing.

Each unsheathing in the battlefront was stained with the warrior’s hankering for a fight and intent for life, leading to either death or success.

For the moment being, under the pressing force from the enemy, Qian Jin fiercely activated his warrior power and produced an unsheathing sound with his bones. This moment had fully exerted all his strength.

After the piercing unsheathing sound, Qian Jin embarked on his counterattack. Borrowing the lesson he drew from the fight with the bloodline warrior of the Qian Family last time, he released his moves more violently, pulling the curtain of an all-around fierce fight.
