Chapter 508: Fame
Translator: Udong_ Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong_
"To offend someone like that?" The bandits weren"t dumb. Although they robbed for a living, they didn"t need to offend someone like Qian Jin.
In a few days, several bandit groups announced that they won"t actively go after the Roll Family"s caravans as long as the Roll Family followed the rule of the Frontier.
The so-called rule was to pay some money to the bandits.
This rule was there since the beginning of the Frontier and Qian Jin couldn"t change it unless he killed all the bandits.
If he actually did that, he would be declaring war against all the bandits, including the Bandit King Bhang Wusheng.
Slowly, more and more bandits make similar announcements. But would they actually charge the Roll Family money? That would be a different matter.
No bandit groups would mess with a madman like Qian Jin in order to get a little bit more money. A lot of bandit groups said that they would charge the money, but it was done because they wanted to maintain their images. When they actually encounter the caravans of Roll Family, they would turn a blind eye.
They didn"t want to get killed for a few hundred gold coins.
Even the Third Bandit Group – Power Bandit Group didn"t want to waste manpower and suffer casualties on Qian Jin. Even if they did actually kill Qian Jin, their ranking would drop dramatically due to the decrease in their overall strength.
The bandits on the Frontier were sly wolves. They would not touch the powerful, but they didn"t mind taking a bit out of the weak.
As the Pekar Bandit Group got wiped, more bandits got to know Qian Jin, and so did the mercenaries who guarded the caravans of the Roll Family.
Before, a lot of things Qian Jin did that were shocking weren"t known to a lot of people.
But now, when Qian Jin got a little fame, he was the person that all the mercenaries were talking about. Young bloodline warriors, ultimate bloodline warriors, and even the Demon King weren"t as hot as Qian Jin at the moment.
Since Qian Jin became the go-to topic for a lot of people, his history got exposed.
Ordinary warrior with no bloodline power.
Less than twenty years old.
Student of Punitive Academy.
Defeated the genius Bloodline Warrior of the Griffin Family.
Appeared at Qian Family and defeated several Elf King Bloodline Warriors his age as well as an older generation Elf King Bloodline Warrior, Qian Chenyu.
As more of what Qian Jin did got exposed, the more the people were shocked.
In the Qian Region, the Qian Family was the dominant force! None of the demons dared to underestimate the Elf King Bloodline Warriors! How dare this young man provoke them in front of their faces?
"Is he heroic or just dumb?"
"He must be crazy!"
Soon, Qian Jin got a new nickname – Qian Madman
That"s right! Qian Madman! Would any normal person mess around with the Qian Family? Messing with the Qian Family was more dangerous than going to the Human-Demon Battlefront.
However, this young man did that and went back to Yulee to gain control of big forces one after another. With the number of forces under his control, even the Qian Family had to consider the consequences of killing him now.
Although there weren"t things that the leader of Qian Family Qian Zhanxuan didn"t dare to do, Qian Jin"s ident.i.ty was a lot different. Qian Jin"s influence got stronger faster than his cultivation speed!
Now, people were really curious as to how Qian Jin left the Qian Family alive. Qian Zhanxuan"s dominance was known to all humans, demons, and barbarians.
Quickly, people got to know that Qian Jin was connected with the Snake King of Hydra Family... they were actually allies.
When a young man with no forces under his control established alliance with Pam Honzi who was really wise and haughty just like Qian Zhanxuan, it signified the potential of this young man.
As rumors and facts about Qian Jin got around more, more impressive news surfaced.
All of the hugely influential figures in Zence were somehow connected with this young man.
More and more bandits were glad that they didn"t follow their impulse and battle with Qian Jin.
Under this circ.u.mstance, the end result would be bad whether they won or lost.
If they won, the person they killed was an ally to Snake King Pam Honzi! Except for a few people in the world, who else could defend against the Snake King"s anger? The only person on the Frontier would be the Bandit King Bhang Wusheng.
However, they won"t know when the Snake King would come to them for revenge. How long can they wait for Bhang Wusheng to come and rescue them? When Bhang Wusheng arrives, it would be about time to put them into the graves.
...
When someone wasn"t known, no one would care for him or her.
But when some people started to pay attention to this person, more and more people would do the same, it was a network effect.
When more influential figures were added to the mix, even more people would care about the situation.
In less than two weeks, Qian Jin"s name was no longer famous in just the Frontier. Slowly, his name reached the outskirts of the empires, and it rapidly grew from there.
Any single thing Qian Jin had down was enough to surprise the public, and any single thing Qian Jin had done would be enough to chat about for a while. When all of these events were placed on one person, an ordinary person, it was a lot more different.
Most of the people in Zence were ordinary people and they were keener to a young man who didn"t have bloodline powers. With some exaggeration added to the stories, more and more storytellers were considering making a novel based on Qian Jin.
With the popularity Qian Jin had, a lot of people were wondering whether Qian Jin would break the record and the fate of ordinary warriors at the Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Compet.i.tion.
"Could he actually defeat powerful bloodline warriors? Didn"t he defeat Elf King Bloodline Warriors? It is very interesting..." People wondered.
"Qian Jin? He is still alive?"
Qian Zhanxuan frowned as he looked at the member of Ray Family who was kneeling on the ground. "He has this much popularity? Get up, you guys will witness how he would fall from height and get absolutely destroyed. That would be fun, wouldn"t it? I will let everyone know that only Bloodline Warriors could be in the legends. Ordinary warriors?"
Qian Zhanxuan paused for a second and continued, "They should just stay quiet and be the dirt and foundation of our glory. All of the glory should belong to bloodline warriors! In the past, now, and in the future!" His expression was filled with disdain.
Rayen got up and exited the room. He thought as he swiped the sweat off of his forehead. "No wonder he is the man who is the peak of individual strength and influence. The pressure coming off of him is so strong... His dominating demeanor almost crushed me..."
"Qian Jin?" Qian Wutian rubbed where one of his ears used to be and murmured, "You used me as a stepping stone to your fame. At the Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Compet.i.tion, I will take back what is mine, and I will also surpa.s.s you, Qian Wushan!" He said with a confident smile, but the anger in his eyes couldn"t be hidden.
"Really?" Qian Wushan"s eyebrows twitched a little. He leaned against a tree and smiled with a book in his hand, "I wish you would, but it is impossible. I will be the one who achieves the Ultimate Awakening and crushes all the other five Ultimate Bloodlines under my feet! Qian Jin? He is not worthy of my time or your time."
"Really?" Qian Wutian looked up and said, "Li Raong of Tri-head Golden Dragon Bloodline and Joen Fanhua of Ares Bloodline said the same words. Even the bloodline warriors from all the top ten bloodline family said that they are going to win this New Generation Compet.i.tion. However, you don"t need to worry. After you get defeated, I will lead Qian Family to a new height."
Qian Wushan glanced at Qian Wutian casually, the confident and proud smile was still on his face. Ever since he woke up his bloodline, he became the most eye-catching genius of the Qian Family. In his mind, Qian Jin was like an ant on his path of cultivation. To him, his opponents were bloodline warriors who were also going to achieve Ultimate Awakenings.
"If there are G.o.ds in this world." Qian Wushan closed the book and looked up at the sky. "Then I will go to the star and check them out after I defeated all bloodline warriors and united all three races. If they do really exist, I would defeat them and become a supreme G.o.d myself." He murmured.
Qian Wutian was stunned when he heard that. "This is the difference between us? It"s not the difference in strength, but the difference in mentality. When I"m using him as a target, he is already thinking about the G.o.ds….."
In Tri-Head Golden Dragon Family, inside the Dragon Mountain.
"Qian Jin? Who is that? An ordinary warrior? Messed around in Qian Family? Pam Honzi established an alliance with him? Go tell him to become my retinue. When I defeat all other bloodline warriors who achieve Ultimate Awakening, I will help him take his father from the Qian Family."
Under the huge waterfall that started on top of the mountain that was more than a kilometer tall, a naked man stood there and took on the pressure of nature. However, the loud noise of the current still couldn"t cover his confident and dominating voice.
