Chapter 474: Heart of Earthy Fire

Gripping the stained throwing knife with his index and ring fingers, Yi gasped in admiration. "Warrior Weapon? Good job!"

Directing his gaze at the dead man and the knife, Black Wind finally came to realize how the leader of the Linacis Bandit Group was killed.

Feng Linacis fell in this battle but the fog became even thicker. Coldness drifted out, along with heavy breathing.

Too much! It was really too much!

The blue veins all over Qian Jin's body were jumping violently like they were going to pop out of his skin! Heart of Earthy Fire kept devouring the Icy Flame Warrior Power like a greedy beast! Just as before, some were distributed to the other two Warrior Heart and some were vented out through his pores.

Level 2 Demon Slayer... Level 3... Level 7!

Feeling the strength inside was rapidly rising, Qian Jin was in pain yet very surprised. It didn't belong to him, but he was having such a remarkable experience, thanks to the Heart of Earthy Fire!

Such rapid increase in strength had never fallen upon ordinary warriors, except for in a Warrior Energy Concentration Array! More often than not, it was the privilege of Bloodline Warriors when they awakened their bloodline power.

The unstoppable delivery was like a raging river which had opened and broadened his internal connections. Having been used to the torturous [Volcano Potion], Qian Jin was relieved to find his connections were safe and sound.

The few seconds were like a hundred years! Heart of Earthy Fire was still spinning! Suddenly two strange technique sequences bubbled up from nowhere!

Qian Jin breathed even harder! Mobilizing one of them, he was amazed to find the Warrior Power spreading out from his palm was extremely cold.

Was the weird fighting technique, Icy Flame Warrior Power? Qian Jin was surprised for a moment. He also felt that although the temperature had stayed almost the same, its ability to burn was greatly improved.

Why? Qian Jin went to work on this thought. Was it because that the burning power of his Heart of Earthy Fire had blended with the Icy Flame Warrior Power?

Immersing himself in the feeling, Qian Jin became more confused. Had the Heart of Earthy Fire been transformed into some icy flame? No, no... It had become even more raging!

But where did the icy flames come from? Something had happened to Heart of Earthy Fire, but outwardly, it looked the same.

The fog gradually dispersed. Qian Jin stood there, unharmed, except for merely a flesh wound on his shoulder. The Icy Flame Energy clinging to it had long been absorbed by Heart of Earthy Fire! Now no matter which Warrior Heart was at his disposal, he was a Level 9 Demon Slayer.

It seemed that each of the three Warrior Hearts could be leveled up at any time, but they didn't.

What did it mean? Qian Jin was now at a total loss. What did they make him? A Level 9 Demon Slayer or three? Calculating in his heart, Qian Jin found that the Warrior Power the Heart of Earthy Fire had swallowed was enough to make him use the Heart of Earthy Fire nine time a day.

How come? Qian Jin racked his brain but couldn't come up with an answer. It seemed he could only turn to Blake when back in the Endless World. It had never been heard of in history! No one would believe the story that he had devoured other people's Warrior Power and capitalized it into his own.

Qian Jin was desperate to know the cycling speed. But since he was now not in his peak state, the calculation wouldn't be precise. As such, he gave up.

Yi frowned at the weirdo. Had this young man been holding back or had he just gained a sudden burst of strength?

Yi shook his head. Under the overwhelming pressure, he might have broken it through if he had already been in possession of a peak Warrior Heart but not a Golden Warrior Heart. But from what Yi had seen, the young man there was just a Level 2 Demon Slayer. He couldn't have done this as an ordinary warrior.

"Well done." Yi clapped his hands. "Kid, I heard that you want money only?"

Without answering back, Qian Jin took a jar of ointment out from his Warrior Dimension and rubbed it in the wound. The pain went away as a cold sensation followed. People were attracted to the delicate fragrance.

"It smells good!" Yi said to Qian Jin with a friendly smile. "Can I have a look?"

Without thinking, Qian Jin threw the jar over. Yi reached out, grabbed it and gasped in admiration after a closer look. "Superb! Kid, can I have it?"

"No, you can't."

The bandits were all stunned! How daring the hunter was! He had killed Feng Linacis, so what? Didn't he know the man he was talking to was the second in command of the frontier?

If bandits asked you for something and you wouldn't cooperate, they would never pay for it. Instead, you would be robbed.

That had long melted into their minds and blood. It was their natural instinct.

Yi cracked another smile at Qian Jin. "Really? If so..."

"How about a deal?" Qian Jin pointed to Feng Linacis at Yi's feet. "You can have the ointment if I get that body."

"What? " Yi kicked the dead man. "You don't want this body. You want the Warrior Power training scroll?"

Qian Jin nodded. People presented here were all big influential figures. He believed they were all interested in the weird Warrior Power. But only one who had fought against Feng Linacis would know how weird it was.

It was especially worthy of note that it could be completely devoured and absorbed by Heart of Earthy Fire as well as the technique sequence.

Qian Jin still remembered the first explosion of Feng Linacis's technique sequence hadn't really touched him, but with just the outbreak, it had inflicted him with heavy injuries. He believed even the [Wind and Cloud Golden Body] would collapse at the first blow if it actually touched him.

"Just by this?" Yi turned the jar around in his hand. "I think you have underestimated the training scroll. With it, I can recruit some really excellent warriors. Over time, a powerful force would be within reach if carefully cultivated."

Qian Jin nodded again. "Sure! But they can't cure you if you get injured."

"Me? Get injured?" Yi laughed out and asked in a high-pitched voice, "By whom?"

While relaxing his weary body, Qian Jin approached the so-called second man in command of the frontier. After a closer look from head to toe, Qian Jin placed his palms on this man's shoulders and started to move down. People were dumbfounded!

Was it a dream? Black Wind's jaw almost dropped off! It was Yi! No one in the frontier had dared to challenge him except the Bandit King! He even dared to hurt the 12th prince of the Barbarian!

The kid had got some balls...Black Wind was in awe! He would never risk his life touching that man without his permission!

"Sure enough..." Qian Jin broke his frowns and said with a serious face, "You, do get injured."

Smiles froze on Yi's face and on there appeared some doubt. How could he know about this just by touching? He had been injured, not yesterday, nor the day before that! It was many years ago! If not for that, he would have been a peak Soul-Power Warrior by now. With a fine Soul Weapon, he could evolve into a Saint Warrior any minute!

But now, he was still a Level 8 Soul-Power Warrior. Thinking about this, Yi put on some fervent hatred.

"If I guessed it right, it has been with you for many years." Qian Jin scratched his head with some awe in eyes. The internal injury, which was like a cloud of locusts, should have encroached upon the strength of this bandit boss. But from what Qian Jin had seen, the man was fighting against the old injury! Although he couldn't do anything about it, he was safe and robust, at least for now.

What? The surprise was gone from Yi's face. He measured Qian Jin up and down. How did he know it was a long time ago? Why was a warrior capable of this? Was he a pharmacist?

"It's tricky, but it's possible. The hardest part is the poison, which has stayed inside your body for years. It is because of the poison that you can't recover."

The murmurs were like a thunder to Yi! The young man was so damn right! Wait... Did that mean he could do something about it?

Komiz who had been standing by all the time was also stunned. The bandit had an aged injury on him and he was still so powerful?

"Kid, did you mean it? You can cure me?" Yi gazed at Qian Jin with hope in his eyes. He had sneaked into the Zence and Demon Empires more than once, but all the Pharmacy Grandmaster he had approached were said that they need to cooperate with others in different fields to figure out a cure.

Usually, a Pharmacy Grandmaster would major in one field only, but his injury required at least three fields of mastery. He couldn't have three grandmasters at the same time without going to the Central Pharmacist Union at the Holy Capital or the Fallen Angel City of the Demons.

What did that mean? Yi was fully aware! Once he was recognized at either place, his head would be chopped off by a Saint Warrior for gold coins.

Qian Jin shook his head at the dead body. "Compared to this dead man and his training scroll, a healthy body would be a smart choice. You know it. Once you got rid of the old injury, you could reach into a new realm!"

Yi took a long breath. The kid was bargaining, which meant he was sure of himself.

"What do you want?" Yi looked at Qian Jin. "Just don't cross the line."
