Chapter 106: Insane Strength Spell, and Change of Hammer

The Green Skinned Three Armed Ape was also kicked in the belly. Its body curled up as if it was a huge green shrimp. It opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Crack! The bone-breaking noise also sounded from its body. Qian Jin’s leg kicked its belly and also broke the rib that was at the very bottom of its rib cage.

After warrior energy flowed through his chest, the burning pain disappeared and Qian Jin felt very cool and refreshed! His ability to take strikes strengthened by the Wind and Cloud Golden Body was much better than the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s!

The expression on the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s face looked very vicious; the pain made it more aggressive and violent. There was a piece of skin on its forehead that was looked mysterious and had a metal-like appearance. A light suddenly flashed on that piece of shiny skin on it forehead, and veins bulged on all of it arms.

“Insane Strength Spell?”

A sense of excitement flashed through Qian Jin’s eyes.

There were two different types of demon beasts in the world of demon beasts. One was the physical damage types; the Green Skinned Three Armed Apes fell into this category as they hunted for food using their strong physical body.

The other type was demon beasts like Evil-Eye that could cast spells using their spiritual power.

All demon beasts were different in sizes, and their spiritual powers were at different levels as well. However, that didn’t mean that the magic energy in their magic cores were any different; they were pretty much the same.

The only difference was that the Evil-Eye’s ability pulled more magic energy out of its magic core using spiritual power, while the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s ability pulled the magic energy from its magic core to strengthen its own body.

Insane Strength Spell was the only magic spell that Green Skinned Three Armed Apes’ knew! They could use a little bit of magic energy from its magic core and increase its strength greatly. Even human Supreme Mages who had more than a hundred times the magic power compared to Green Skinned Three Armed Apes couldn’t cast this special magic spell.

“Unfortunately… It’s not blue skinned…” Qian Jin signed lightly with a bit of excitement in his voice. “Green Skinned Three Armed Ape can only cast a Level 1 Insane Strength Spell, and it will only increase its strength by about a hundred pounds. If it advanced to a Blue Skinned Three Armed Ape, the spell will increase its strength by about three hundred pounds! If I’m able to learn the Insane Strength Spell…”

The Green Skinned Three Armed Ape let out a loud roar as it sprinted on the snowy ground and spilled snow in all directions. Its feet even left footprints on the frozen ground. As it charged, it raised all three of its arms and struck them at Qian Jin with all of its force.

“Too bad… that’s not enough!”

Kabam! Qian Jin raised his right arm and placed it horizontally above his head. As his arm blocked one of the punches from the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape, he twisted one of his ankles and rotated his waist to concentrate all of his strength into his right arm. After combining the warrior energy, he punched out using his right fist and let out his most powerful strike ever. This punch had bumped the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s fist away and smashed its finger bones into pieces. The bone-breaking noise was the only sound that resonated on the battlefield.

All people’s and beast’s fingers contained many nerve connections! The extreme amount of pain coming from its hand and fingers instantly slowed down the other two punches from the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape. Qian Jin twisted his ankle in the other direction as his body followed through with the punch. In the blink of an eye, he already shifted his body to the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s side like a smooth snake. His right leg that landed on the ground first bent right away and instantly straightened afterward to boost Qian Jin’s body into the air. He placed his hand on the ape’s shoulder and pulled his body towards the ape as he turned his body in the air. His body landed on the ape’s shoulders; he was sitting on the ape’s neck as if he was the ape’s child and the ape was taking him to the park. However, the situation wasn’t that warm. After Qian Jin sat on the ape’s neck, he immediately punched down at the back of the ape’s head with his fist he was holding up in the air.

Bam! Crack… Qian Jin’s physical strength along with his Level 10 Warrior Energy cracked open the back of the ape’s skull. Its huge body couldn’t take the force from this sudden strike; its body fell forward, and its three arms pushed on the ground and tried to get its body back up…

Qian Jin had taken a lot of beating from the Endless World, so he learned to never go easy on his enemies. He immediately stepped forward and kicked the ape in the head. After that, he stomped on the ground and rushed forward as he followed up with the ape who was rolling on the ground and stomped on its spine forcefully with his left leg! The spine instantly broke!

Crack… Crack, crack, crack, crack…

The sound of death could be heard as he heard bone cracking. The dark green color on the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s skin quickly faded and disappeared. All five of its limbs pushed on the ground powerlessly; it looked like a person who fell on slippery ice and couldn’t grip onto anything to help himself to get up.

After its body twitched a little, all five of its limbs loosened as the last bit of force had left its body. It body instantly softened as blood flowed out of its mouth rapidly, soon dyeing all the snow around its head the color red.

It eyes that almost fell out its eye socket due to the heavy blow seemed to reflect its feeling before it died; it couldn’t believe what happened. Gradually, its sharp eyes stared to lose focus and lost the last bit of liveliness.

Sophia stood still and looked at Qian Jin who was standing beside the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape in shock. She even forgot that as an adventurer, she had to check herself to make sure that her enemy or prey was really dead.

At this point, Sophia suspected that she was dreaming. In a blink of an eye, Qian Jin actually killed several wolves, got rid of the wolf pack, and killed the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape with only his fists! That’s right! He didn’t use his Zhanmadao, only his fists and his punches!

“That’s it? That’s all this Green Skinned Three Armed Ape had?” Qian Jin shook his head in disappointment. “Who said that a Level 10 Warrior could only run and escape when faced with a demon beast? This demon beast just got killed by my fists.”

Sophia shook her head forcefully as if she was trying to wake up from a dream. She looked at Qian Jin with a bitter smile on her face as she thought, “Do you think that every Level 10 Warrior is the same as you? I’ve seen a battle between a Level 10 Warrior and a demon beast; the whole battle was the demon beast chasing the warrior around.”

Qian Jin used the Zhanmadao to open up the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s body as he took out a piece of green crystal; the crystal was about the size of an infant’s fist, and there were still blood on it.

Magic core! It was the most valuable item on this Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s body.

“Magic core… Hehe… I didn’t expect to get a magic core out of this.” Qian Jin smiled as he looked at the magic core in his hand. For mages, this item could help them in battle, and it also could help them greatly when they were training their spiritual power and magic power; it was like energy stones to warriors.

“I’m not sure what level of energy stone I can get from trading this magic core…”

Qian Jin said to himself quietly. A warrior could use the magic core four ways. One, the warrior could exchange it for an energy stone. Second, the warrior could sell it for money and enjoy his or her life. Third, the warrior could use it to get help from a mage when he or she needed. Fourth, if the warrior was also a high-level blacksmith, he or she could forge a rare, powerful magic weapon!

“Magic weapon…” Qian Jin looked up at the sky as he sighed. The only people who could forge magic weapons were Magic Forge Masters. It required more than just the forging techniques of a Forge Master; it also required a deep understanding of magic arrays and a high-level technique such as Engraving and Inlaying. With all those criteria, the blacksmith could try to forge a magic weapon with a magic core.

“Magic Forge Master…” Qian Jin breathed in a mouthful of fresh air into his lungs. He was getting a little impulsive from his heart. He thought, “After I learn all the high-level forging techniques from Blake and master all of them, then I should have opportunity to learn about the Magic Forging Techniques! There are buildings alongside the streets of the village in the Endless World that teach subjects and skills such as Engraving, Magic Array, and Inlaying. But do I have the talent to master all of them?”

Qian Jin used the snow on the ground to clean all the blood off of the magic core. He then dragged the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape’s corpse to the entrance of the cave. After he placed the corpse there, he glanced around as he said to himself, “Finally! I have established my dominance! I can finally enter the Endless World again!”

The warm sunlight shined at every corner in the quiet village. Without the wind, smoke from cooking went straight up the sky; it was time for breakfast.

Qian Jin stood on a quiet street in the village in the Endless World as if he had not been here in a long time. To enter the Endless World earlier, he quickly ate a few pieces of smoked meat and took out the mage hat to go to sleep; the two girls looked at him weirdly as he did all that.

Qian Jin quickly got to Blake’s Blacksmith Shop with easy as he had done many times before. He felt a little nervous when he stepped foot into the workshop.

“Oh, you came?”

Blake’s half-sleeping voice suddenly sounded behind the door. Qian Jin was really scared by Blake. He didn’t feel any negative emotions when he was facing the Green Skinned Three Armed Ape.

However, when he was facing Blake, Qian Jin felt like he was facing an elder family member; he was afraid that he might do something wrong and disappoint Blake.

Qian Jin already felt very uneasy since he didn’t come to Blake’s workshop for so many days. He wasn’t afraid that Blake wouldn’t teach him about forging and techniques; he was afraid to see the disappointment in Blake’s eyes.

After Qian Jin failed the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony; there had always been a thought of never disappointing his loved ones in his mind, even if it was only a moment of disappointment.

Blake walked out behind the door feebly. But as soon as he saw Qian Jin, his eyes that looked very tired immediately brightened up. Surprise was popping off of his face; his movement even stiffened a little. His mouth opened after that and he said, “It looks like this is the reason why you haven’t come for these days. As a warrior myself, I can understand it.”

Qian Jin lightly bent his back and bowed as he responded, “I’m sorry.”

Blake started at Qian Jin; his eyes were filled with wisdom and seemed like they could see through everything, but they weren’t as sharp as Qian Zenwu’s. The way Blake was looking at Qian Jin seemed more like an elder checking up on the younger generation.

“Not bad, you are very pure-hearted.” Blake nodded with a delighted smile on his face. He picked up a hammer that was about three hundred pounds and threw it to Qian Jin. “Go, continue your forging.”

Qian Jin weighed the hammer in his hand and then looked at a hammer that was about four hundred pounds nearby. He then peeked at Blake as he hesitated to speak.

If this was before, Qian Jin would open his mouth directly and say that he wanted to change hammers. But since he hadn’t come here in a long time and felt like it was his fault, he was bit embarrassed to ask for more in front of an elder like Blake.

Blake was walking away, but he turned around and looked at Qian Jin when he didn’t hear any sounds of forging or prepping. A bit curiousness appeared in his sleepy eyes as he saw Qian Jin’s movement and expression. “Did I make an error in my judgement? Is three hundred pounds not enough?” He thought.

“Do you want to use the heavier hammer?” Blake picked up the hammer and waved it in his hand.

“Yes!” Qian Jin quickly nodded. Although he could use the three hundred pound hammer smoothly and effectively, it wouldn’t help him in terms of improving his strength and techniques. Also, it was a little bit light.
