If Warrior Hall wanted to kill Qian Jin, they could only attack him in public with many soul-power warriors, and they probably would need to go to Magic Palace and ask for top-tier mages for help.
However, it was heard that Magic Palace was trying to recruit a young female mage named Gabriella, and she seemed to be Qian Jin’s woman.
With this relationship, why would Magic Palace come and help Warrior Hall?
“It seems like they will…” Qian Jin sighed after seeing Lv Chang’s expression, and he said, “Please tell the person in control of Warrior Hall that I will give him an opportunity! He wants to kill me, right? I will go to Warrior Hall in two months, and it will be my gift to you for this assassination.”
Lv Chang gasped and felt like he was dropped into a cave of ice. He thought, “He is going to crash down on Warrior Hall! No wonder Qian Zhanxuan sent people to us and told us that Qian Jin normally looks calm and casual, but he is more prideful and more reckless than bloodline warriors deep down. Warrior Hall can’t control a young man like him.”
Even if bloodline warriors had a conflict with Warrior Hall, they would try to resolve it in private and try to keep a low profile.
If bloodline warriors went to crash down on Warrior Hall, they could offend all ordinary warriors. This was something that even bloodline warriors couldn’t bear.
Some talented ordinary warriors of Warrior Hall later had a bad relationship with the organization, but they didn’t cause trouble like that. Even after Fabreidis became a saint warrior, he didn’t go back to Warrior Hall to make a mess.
However, a young warrior like Qian Jin who didn’t have much experience in the world said that he was going to crash down on Warrior Hall.
Duren Burg looked at Lv Chang’s ugly expression with a dirty smile, and he thought, “Although Qian Jin looks dull, he has a tough mind of his own. If others are nice to him, he will return the gratitude ten times over. However, if others are bad to him, he will slap them without mercy.”
“Warrior Hall will wait for Central President Qian’s visit.” Lv Chang didn’t know what to say except that. He wanted to tell Qian Jin about the internal issues of Warrior Hall. However, nine of them came to assassinate Qian Jin. Although Lv Chang didn’t join, he didn’t stop them either.
Seeing Qian Jin and others moving away, Lv Chang sighed helplessly.
Perhaps this was the fate of Warrior Hall. Both the conservative people and progressive people couldn’t lead Warrior Hall forward anymore. After years of constant change, Warrior Hall had become too arrogant, and its internal mechanisms were stiff and inflexible.
“Perhaps Qian Jin going to Warrior Hall isn’t a bad thing.” After thinking for a bit, Lv Chang was even a little hopeful and wanted Qian Jin to go to Warrior Hall sooner. He thought, “Perhaps this young man can make Warrior Hall grow more and change the dusk-like atmosphere of the organization.
“Comrade, are you going to go to Warrior Hall for real?” Duren Burg asked lazily, and he asked another question seeing Qian Jin observing the thin sword in his hand, “What is there to study about that sword?”
“Qian Jin is going to go to Warrior Hall for sure,” Zence Matten said as his body moved up and down as the horse moved forward. He turned around and asked Iron who had been following him but was silent, “Iron, do you know what Qian Jin lacks the most right now?”
“Power.” Iron answered without thinking, “Although he has many forces and has great influence, the overall combat strength of his forces is the weakest amongst the top-tier families and forces.”
Zence Matten gave Iron a thumbs-up and said, “Even my retinue who doesn’t think that much knows where Qian Jin’s shortcoming is. Now, do you think Qian Jin will go there? And for what reason?”
Duren Burg smiled and looked Qian Jin’s back as he thought, “This comrade doesn’t like to talk, but his head is always working. Warrior Hall? What kind of place is that? Many talented ordinary warriors are there, and it probably has the largest number of peak soul-power warriors. These people want soul weapons the most…”
A soul weapon was enough to make a tough bandit group leader like Yi submit to Qian Jin and be his shadow. What situation would a soul weapon cause in Warrior Hall?
After the New Generation Competition, Qian Jin would have to walk into the Human-Demon Battlefront. By then, individual strength wouldn’t be the only factor. A legion’s overall strength and the top-tier warriors would determine the future of a legion. Qian Jin was trying his best to pave the path for his future.
“This sword…” Qian Jin’s words attracted everyone’s attention.
Crack…
The thin longsword in Qian Jin’s hand shattered.
“Such a terrible reforge technique.” Qian Jin looked at the sword handle in his hand and threw it to Cech Flet. “Here is a saint item for you.”
Saint item! The most powerful equipment that a warrior could ask for!
A saint item could allow a warrior below the Saint Warrior Realm to battle with a saint warrior.
A warrior who entered the saint-level would be a saint warrior.
An item that entered the saint-level would be a saint item.
Just like how a warrior would be a soul-power warrior if this person had a warrior soul, a warrior weapon that broke through the threshold would be a soul weapon.
A soul-power warrior could rival a saint warrior if he had a saint item even if he weren’t a peak soul-power warrior.
Soul items weren’t only powerful in terms of offensive or defensive abilities. They could also activate the user’s potential. At the same time, just like saint warriors, saint weapons had unique abilities similar to the soul realms of saint warriors. Saint items’ abilities were called saint souls.
Everyone knew that saint items were powerful, but not many people knew about saint souls. Only the top-tier warriors, mages, and blacksmiths knew about them.
However, none of the blacksmiths alive today could make the equipment that they forged to have saint souls.
Qian Jin read Uncle Blake’s notes, and he knew everything about saint items. Out of all the blacksmiths that he could see in the powerful forces, Qian Jin was confident that no one knew about saint items better than him.
“What did you say?”
For the first time, Zence Matten wasn’t able to maintain his composure in such a situation, and he also fell off his horse. He stared at the sword handle in Cech Flet’s hand, which looked like a piece of wasted iron.
Duren Burg’s riding skill was even worse compared to Zence Matten. After falling off the horse, he jumped back onto it by lightly kicking the ground. He also stared at the sword handle in Cech Flet’s hand intently.
Even Fanta Kunge who had been down lately was shocked, and he looked at the normal-looking sword handle in Cech Flet’s hand in confusion.
Everyone’s mind was filled with questions, and they thought, “This trash-looking thing is a saint item? Did Qian Jin’s eyes stop working? Or did he get hit so much that his brain is lagging?”
“This is a saint item?” Cech Flet was confused as well. He turned his hand and observed it, and he couldn’t figure out the uniqueness of the sword handle.
“Take off the last bit of metal pieces on the handle,” Qian Jin said as he pointed at the sword handle. “I don’t know who got this sword handle. The forge master must have realized that this sword handle was great, so he connected a blade to it. He had no idea that the sword handle itself is a saint item.”
Qian Jin shook his head as he continued, “It is like someone adding feet onto the painting of a snake.”
“Although the forge master knows something, the person isn’t too clear on everything,” Qian Jin sighed and thought to himself, “If the assassin weren’t using the sword with the connected blade and were only using the sword handle, the outcome of the battle would be hard to tell.”
At the critical moment, the assassin could even sacrifice the saint item and use it to become a saint warrior. The effect of becoming a saint using a saint item was much greater compared to soul weapons. The user would be purified, and their own soul realm would be devoured by the saint soul of the saint item, forming an even more powerful soul realm.
“A lack of knowledge.” Qian Jin shrugged. If the assassin knew better, everyone in Qian Jin’s team might have died.
Cech Flet removed the last piece of blade that was attached to the sword handle, and he suddenly felt like the sword handle was an extension of his arms and a part of his body. He felt comfortable holding it.
“Send your warrior soul into it,” Qian Jin recited the information on Uncle Blake’s notes, “Communicate with it and awaken it.”
Buzz… buzz… buzz…
The sword handle buzzed and created a series of loud noises. Everyone felt that Cech Flet become different, and a streak of strange power was radiating out of his body. It felt like his body couldn’t suppress the insane amount of strength in his body.
Tink!
Metal-ringing noises were heard, and a sword dashed out of the sword handle. The blade looked soft like mercury, and it seemed like streaks of energy mingled and intertwined before forming the blade.
The blade was as thin as the wings of a bee, and it had the width of the branch of a willow tree. Combined with Cech Flet’s aura, everything seemed beautiful as the power of the saint soul slowly radiated outward.
“Nice sword!” Cech Flet rarely emphasized his words, but he was overjoyed at this moment.
“Damn it! So envious!” Duren Burg stared at Cech Flet’s sword and said, “It is really a saint item! With this thing, even Comrade can’t defeat you.”
“Eh.” Cech Flet nodded in confidence and said, “If we are fighting to the death, I can kill him.”
Qian Jin laughed and didn’t try to refute. With this sword, Cech Flet would be no different from a saint warrior. If one had to find a difference, saint warriors’ soul realms could cover a larger area compared to the saint soul of the sword in Cech Flet’s hand.
Although Qian Jin was confident that he could rival a few half-saint warriors, fighting a saint warrior was a different ball game.
Although Cech Flet’s strength was powerful, he had one critical drawback; he couldn’t reveal his power before others.
When this man was on the territory of Zence, every time he showed his real strength, he would have to kill everyone who saw it and wasn’t in the team.
