Chapter 23: Smash You with the Hammer

His leaps were large. “Sha, sha, sha.” It was the sound of something moving through the grass. Revolver-Skyblade really looked like a Demon Ape when he attacked Qian Jin. He swung his fist, and it shot towards Qian Jin’s face with his Level 3 Warrior energy covering the surface of his skin.

A few seniors gasped in surprise. They didn’t expect that a Grade One junior could master the Demon Ape Fighting Technique before actually advancing his own warrior energy. With this ability, he could definitely defeat someone who was a Level 4 Warrior if he was careful and fought smartly.

“He is better than Caesars in terms of strength, speed, and attacking angle; it’s no wonder that he is the eighth seat.”

Qian Jin stared at Revolver-Skyblade’s strike closely. The fist was very close to his face already; he really did feel like he was fighting a killer demon beast. He could tell that his opponent had put a lot of hard work into perfecting his technique. Qian Jin drew his warrior energy inside of him and was ready to fight.

“It looks like he is at the peak of Level 3 Warrior, and he will be able to advance to a Level 4 Warrior in no time. It makes sense that he is a bit arrogant.”

Bam! Qian Jin lifted his left arm and swung it horizontally across his chest. His left arm successfully blocked Revolver-Skyblade’s attacking arm and pushed him away. The collision made a crisp sound as if two wooden sticks collided.

“Level 4 arrior energy? Qian Jin has Level 4 warrior energy? And his strength…”

Revolver-Skyblade’s arm felt as if it was on fire. His feet were no longer rooted in the ground. He felt like his balance had instantly been destroyed; he took a few steps back to regain his balance. As he stared at Qian Jin who was charging at him, he thought, “Is this really the Qian Jin that people were talking about? He’s so different from the rumors. Level 4 warrior energy? Isn’t he a month younger than me? And his strength… even Rudy doesn’t have this kind of strength.”

“It looks like he isn’t too agile, and he prefers fighting head-to-head. I will just use my Demon Ape Fighting Technique to dodge his charges and attacks. After he wasted the majority of his warrior energy and strength, I will find his weakness and attack him then.”

Revolver-Skyblade immediately adjusted to the situation and changed his strategy as he backed off a little. He stopped underestimating Qian Jin and started to move his foot and arms irregularly to make fake movements.

“Eh? My warrior energy?” Qian Jin was surprised as well. His charge slowed down. He remembered that he only had Level 3 warrior energy when he went to bed; how did he become a Level 4 Warrior when he got out of the bed? Did the blacksmithing in the Endless World pay off? He did use his warrior energy for support when he used up all of his pure physical strength. Was he so concentrated on blacksmithing that he didn’t realize that his warrior energy had advanced?

“Damn!” Qian Jin couldn’t believe it. Although that hat gave him a terrible nickname, it also brought him a lot of unexpected surprises. He wasn’t sure what his future would look like if he continued training in that world.

Revolver-Skyblade used all four of his limbs and dashed to Qian Jin’s side and gave him a powerful roundhouse kick; it was aimed directly at Qian Jin’s waist. Whoosh! It sounded like someone was swinging a thick stick across the air.

“Nice!” A senior student shouted. Although Revolver-Skyblade should have been at a disadvantage due to his Level 3 warrior energy, he utilized his Demon Ape Fighting Technique perfectly. His Demon Ape footwork gave him the advantage in this fight.

“As long as this kid advances to a Level 4 Warrior, he might become the seventh seat, or possibly even the sixth seat.”

Qian Jin commented at Revolver-Skyblade who was finishing up his move. However, Qian Jin wasn’t just commenting; he also lowered his center of gravity as he dropped down his right arm and struck it at Revolver-Skyblade’s roundhouse kick.

“Using his arm to answer a kick?” he senior students gasped. Even if someone was a Level 4 Warrior and could utilize Level 4 warrior energy, he or she would still lose to a powerful kick coming from a Level 3 Warrior. There was a huge difference between arm and leg strength.

Bam! Qian Jin’s arm hit Revolver-Skyblade’s leg. Revolver-Skyblade placed his hands on the ground to support his kick, but the impact sent him flying. While he was in the air, he still couldn’t believe that Qian Jin was that strong. “This strength is probably comparable to the student that has one sixth of the Northern Barbarian Bloodline; he could potentially be the student that has the strongest strength among everyone in Grade One,” he thought.

Before the crowd could finish gasping, Qian Jin followed up and raised his arm. With his arm empowered with Level 4 warrior energy, his muscles grew bigger and tightened, stretching his skin in the process. He formed a fist with his hand and smashed it down at Revolver-Skyblade.

Revolver-Skyblade stared at the landing fist and suddenly saw an illusion; it looked like it wasn’t a fist that was striking down, but rather a hammer! That’s right! Just like how the blacksmiths swung their hammer in the shop that he tried to get a job at, it looked like Qian Jin was striking him with a hammer!

At the same time, all the senior students were confused as well. “What is this fighting technique? Why does it look like a wild blacksmith swinging a hammer?” they thought.

“This…” The thin principal who was sitting on a tree opened his squinting eyes as he murmured, “Is this how a blacksmith hammers metal? What is this kid doing?”

Revolver-Skyblade bent back his right leg that was numb after colliding with Qian Jin’s arm as he did a front kick with his left leg in the air. He was very skilled at the Demon Ape Fighting Technique. A Demon Ape would use this strike when it was thrown onto the ground by its opponent; the angle of this strike was very tricky, and it was a great counterstrike since the length of the leg was longer than the length of the arm.

Revolver-Skyblade’s feet were getting bigger and bigger in Qian Jin’s eyes. However, the feet were like red hot pig iron to him. The movement that he practiced a thousand times in the Endless World was almost natural to him at this point, and his strike was as powerful as ever.

Boom! Crack…

The fist and the feet met, and Revolver-Skyblade was smashed to the ground from the air. A few cracking noises came from his left leg; his leg was dislocated. He tried to push himself up from the ground, but Qian Jin’s feet were already at his stomach. Qian Jin kicked Revolver-Skyblade in the abdomen, causing him to roll back two circles. Revolver-Skyblade puked up a mouthful of yellow liquid as he laid on the ground twitching. The twitching was caused by the pain in his legs and stomach. He used a lot of effort to push his upper body up and look up at Qian Jin; he still couldn’t believe what just happened. “How is he so strong? How did he learn that technique? Why did he look like a blacksmith at that moment? Why is he still only the tenth seat?” He had numerous questions in his mind, but no one was going to answer him.

“What?” The thin principal was surprised; he looked at Rodriguez who was sitting not far away. “That was a perfect forging strike. It should only be used by a blacksmith. I knew he would win all along, but this win is too strange. He didn’t even use proper warrior fighting techniques. What a surprise.”
