Chapter 119: He Is My Disciple
On the training ground of the plantation.
“Soul warriors are different from other professions. Hunters value explosive power, spirit gatherers mainly support their teammates, manipulators plan the whole combat, and armorists have the top defense and individual combat power. However, soul warriors need to stabilize the frontal battlefield, which requires strong physique, hardcore combat skills, the ability to kill enemies, and the courage to charge forward,” Jiaang Qin explained.
With that, Jiang Qin picked up a fine iron rod. “Come! You are now a peak-level intermediate fis.h.i.+ng master, but you can fight against a great fis.h.i.+ng master. When I was at your level, I couldn’t even beat my peers. Now I’ve decreased my strength to the level of an intermediate fis.h.i.+ng master. Let’s fight.”
Han Fei was frightened. “Sister Qin, you don’t have to do this!”
Jiang Qin just rushed up quietly. Like last time, Han Fei thought this would be another meaningless battle.
But when Jiang Qin swung the rod at him, her aura changed instantly.
Clang…
Han Fei blocked her attack with his rod. To be honest, I think no intermediate fis.h.i.+ng master can beat me now! he thought to himself.
But Jiang Qin ducked to the side, and the fine iron rod in her hand chopped at him from the side like a broadsword.
Han Fei chose to block this blow head-on because he felt that the rod could not hurt him.
Han Fei activated the Crazy Devil’s Rod and the rod in his hand collided with the fine iron rod in Jiang Qin’s hands, producing clanking sounds.
“Fuse.”
In an instant, Jiang Qin’s momentum soared, and an armor suddenly appeared on her body!
Han Fei wasn’t sure, but the armor on Jiang Qin’s body was so real. And except for the armor, six claws like spider feet stuck out behind her simultaneously.
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
Han Fei’s face changed. These spider feet could move! They moved as Jiang Qin kicked at or punched him, and Han Fei felt as if fighting four people head-on at the same time.
“Wow! She suddenly seems to have three heads and six arms!”
These spider legs were just like Nazha’s three heads and six arms. No, they were more dangerous. There were eight arms! Wasn’t it horrible to fight eight arms with only two arms? Besides, Jiang Qin was attacking him extremely fast like crazy.
Han Fei could see that Jiang Qin had also decreased her spiritual energy to the level of an intermediate fis.h.i.+ng master, and didn’t supplement any spiritual energy.
Clank, Clank, Clank…
Han Fei found that his Crazy Devil’s Rod couldn’t resist her attacks at all. No matter how fast the Crazy Devil’s Rod was, it couldn’t block the lightning-like head-on attacks by four people at the same time!
For a while, Han Fei’s body kept being hit and clanking sounds rang ceaselessly. Just when Han Fei thought it was time to over, he heard Jiang Qin shout, “Burn!”
As soon as Jiang Qin’s voice entered his ears, he felt that his blood was boiling. He went furious and began to attack Jiang Qin like mad.
Han Fei ignored those spider feet and launched a spiritual energy explosion attack. “Explode.”
“s.h.i.+eld Wall…”
As Jiang Qin shouted, the six spider legs closed together instantly, forming a large s.h.i.+eld.
BAM!
Han Fei frowned. It’s so strong!
Han Fei didn’t save any strength, but Jiang Qin, at the same level of him now, seemed to be as strong as a great fis.h.i.+ng master. He sent Jiang Qin flying with a blow, but she suddenly shouted, “Thunder Strike!”
The six spider feet closed again and turned into a sharp thorn. With a clank, Han Fei was stung by the thorn and took three or four steps back, and Jiang Qin had taken the opportunity to attack him from behind. Han Fei hurriedly turned around, but his back had been stung dozens of times.
Han Fei roared, “Fury!”
Before Han Fei activated Fury, however, Jiang Qin shouted, “Spiritual Energy Shock!”
The spiritual energy in Han Fei’s body was suddenly frozen and Fury was interrupted by the spiritual energy shock.
At the moment, all six spider feet were against his throat.
Jiang Qin panted for breath. Han Fei’s body was too st.u.r.dy. Even she had to try very hard to beat Han Fei. Although it seemed that Han Fei suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat, the result would have been completely different even if Han Fei learned the least combat skills of soul warriors.
Han Fei swallowed. “Sister Qin, is this a soul warrior’s power?!”
Jiang Qin terminated the fusion, panting. “Yes, do you think I borrowed strength from my spiritual beast? In fact, I didn’t. I used at least 12 combat skills. A soul warrior will never flinch in combat. Even in the face of death, he will never take a step back. If my spiritual energy is sufficient, I can keep fighting like this. And if there is a spirit gatherer helping me, I will fight ceaselessly unless I am killed by the enemy.”
“Wow…”
Han Fei could imagine that picture, a terrifying soul warrior like Jiang Qin, with a constant supply of spiritual energy. Did he have any chance to win in that case? He might as well admit defeat in the very beginning.
Jiang Qin looked at Han Fei and said solemnly, “Although I don’t know where my senior brother went, he once said that he was going to a forbidden place left by a soul warrior. If so, only soul warriors and armorists can enter that forbidden place. That’s why I want to make you a soul warrior.”
Han Fei asked, “Do I have to learn a dozen combat skills first?”
“Don’t be greedy. I know you didn’t exert your full strength just now. Tomorrow, I will take you to the seabed for training, but then I will use the strength of a great fis.h.i.+ng master.”
…
Jiang Qin went to bed, and Han Fei was still standing on the training ground scratching his belly from time to time. He was defeated although Jiang Qin decreased her strength to the same level as him. If it weren’t for his st.u.r.dy body, he would have been killed! This fact was a big blow to him.
The moonlight poured down like water and the cool breeze blew past.
Old Jiang came up to him slowly holding a wine bottle, and sneered, “Now you know your distance? This is not an easy choice. Do you know that every soul warrior is a lunatic who is not afraid to die?”
Han Fei scratched his belly and complained, “I thought to be a soul warrior would be as simple as being a soul gatherer, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“Pu…”
Old Jiang laughed. “As simple as being a soul gatherer? Would you please ask the people you meet when you go to the town in the future… Uh, is becoming a soul warrior as easy as being a spirit gatherer? You simply know nothing…”
Old Jiang taunted Han Fei mercilessly, then threw a jade slip to Han Fei before walking away.
Han Fei looked at the jade slip in his hand and glanced inside.
“Spirit Gathering Array, Water Gathering Technique, Water Control Technique, and Water Spirit Array?”
There were four techniques in this jade slip. Han Fei took a deep breath. Were these the secret of Old Jiang’s water control skill? He had wanted this for a long time, and he didn’t expect the old man to give him this today. What a surprise!
…
The next day.
The village leader led a middle-aged man to the plantation.
Han Fei was preparing breakfast. When he saw the village leader, he said, “Grandpa Leader, what a coincidence. I just made this breakfast. Let’s eat together?”
The village leader replied, “No, no… Han Fei! I came to you specifically today!”
Han Fei scratched his belly and asked in surprise, “What’s the matter?”
“This is Mr. s.h.i.+ Shan, a teacher from the Combat Department of the Third Academy in the town. He is a peak-level great fis.h.i.+ng master, and now he personally invites you to formally enroll in his school.”
s.h.i.+ Shan was looking at Han Fei up and down and his fat body seemed to attract his attention.
s.h.i.+ Shan asked, “I heard that you defeated five students from our Third Academy by yourself, and then you still fought Ye Nanfei?”
s.h.i.+ Shan’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning. He could tell that Han Fei was already an intermediate fis.h.i.+ng master. So he said to the village leader, “Old Zhao, why didn’t you send such an outstanding student in your village to the town? It’s a waste of his talent!”
“Hoho! Let’s see if you can persuade him!”
s.h.i.+ Shan looked back at Han Fei. “You’re called Han Fei, right? Are you willing to follow me to study in the town? I can a.s.sure you that you will be one of the top 100 Heavenly Talents in the town for at least the next three years.”
Han Fei blinked. “No.”
“Uh…”
s.h.i.+ Shan was dumbfounded as he thought, Don’t refuse so quickly. I haven’t told you what benefits you can get!
s.h.i.+ Shan continued, “Student Han Fei, you’ve gotta know that you have no future in the village, but the town is different. The town has the most comprehensive combat skills, various advanced fis.h.i.+ng skills, and experienced teachers who can give you guidance. You won’t be able to get these in the village…”
“I said No. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
Old Jiang came out with a black face, pointing at s.h.i.+ Shan’s nose and said, “Go away! Don’t you see it’s my breakfast time?”
s.h.i.+ Shan was stunned. Who is this arrogant old man?!
The village leader asked nicely, “Old Jiang, mind your tongue.”
“I’ve already shown patience by not kicking you out. You’re just a teacher from the Third Academy. What makes you think you can s.n.a.t.c.h my disciple? Who do you think you are?”
