Chapter 623: Shake-Up
Snake Emperor Pam Honzi could be calm toward anything. For the first time, he couldn't wait and wanted the Thunder-Lightning Soul Realm to mature quickly.
"Grow up! Mature!" Pam Honzi prayed in his mind again and again. If he could unleash the power of the two soul realms during the Old Generation Demonstration Battles, Qian Zhanxuan's face would probably turn green.
Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Competition! Pam Honzi was more excited about this event than the younger warriors. Compared to when he participated in the Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Competition, he looked forward to this year's event.
With only one battle, he could solidify his position as the No.1 Warrior in Zence. In terms of ultimate awakening? Pam Honzi never thought that he couldn't reach it.
Especially after Qian Jin helped him find the key to opening the locks, Pam Honzi believed that he had a chance to pursue the ultimate goal of every bloodline warrior. Thus, becoming the first hydra bloodline warrior to achieve ultimate awakening. With two soul realms and an ultimate awakening, he would be the most powerful warrior among humans, demons, and barbarians.
"Qian Jin." Linguan Linfeng woke up at this moment. Seeing Linguan Skylan's corpse, he lay still on the ground and stared at Qian Jin with blood surging in the blood vessels in his eyes as he said, "Qian Jin, you dare to kill members of Linguan Family? You are seeking death!"
"What about it?" Qian Jin slowly opened his eyes and looked at Linguan Linfeng on the ground as he said, "Should I just stand here and let you kill me without fighting back? Your lives are important, and mine is not?"
Qian Jin sighed. If he didn't kill Linguan Skylan, he would be the one who was killed a few seconds later. He had no choice. Linguan Skylan was going to kill Qian Jin after he became a saint warrior for sure.
One of the two would die, and each of them wanted to kill the other party.
People looked at Qian Jin who sighed and thought, "How come he is sighing after he won? From the looks of it, he isn't afraid of Linguan Family."
Duren Burg sighed as well. Since Linguan Skylan wanted to kill Qian Jin, killing him was only natural; it wasn't worth sighing over. However, they were sighing since they thought back to Sleeping Lion King Linguan Honzhe, who was still on the Frontier.
Although it seemed like Linguan Honzhe didn't do much this trip, no one could say that he was useless. This senior brother of theirs always cared about them even when he is sleeping and awake.
Like a mature lion, Linguan Honzhe pushed Qian Jin and others who were like little lion cubs into the wilderness so that they could grow.
Sometimes at night, this Sleeping Lion King would disappear for a while in high spirits.
No one knew what he was up to in the beginning, but they later learned that this Sleeping Lion King took out the powerful warriors on the Frontier who came to give them trouble
If it weren't for the Sleeping Lion King, Qian Jin and others might not have been alive to meet Bandit King Bhang Wusheng.
The Frontier wasn't a safe place, but Qian Jin and others were always in a relatively safe environment.
Linguan Skylan was Linguan Honzhe's big brother. Qian Jin didn't have a choice but to kill Linguan Skylan, and he didn't know how to confront Linguan Honzhe next time and how this Sleeping Lion King was going to react.
Linguan Skylan, the genius golden griffin king bloodline warrior, the No.1 Warrior on the Hundred Battle Ranking List of Punitive Expedition Academy, the master who hadn't shown his real strength for a long time, challenged Qian Jin and got killed by one punch.
The news quickly spread in Yulee City and radiated toward other cities close by before traveling to other states as if it had wings.
Linguan Skylan wasn't an ordinary warrior. Although he only stayed in the Punitive Expedition Academy in the last few years, he was a genius golden griffin king bloodline warrior. Although he wasn't a saint warrior before, no one doubted the fact that he was going to become a saint warrior. Everyone agreed that he was going to one of the most powerful saint warriors of this generation.
A warrior like Linguan Skylan was always in the news as many people kept their eyes on him.
Defeat! Death! This news spread in the area, and it felt like a clap of thunder rumbled over Yulee City, Yulee State, and even the entire Zence Empire.
Just Linguan Skylan alone was able to attract a ton of attention. On top of that, his opponent was the most popular ordinary warrior in recent history, Qian Jin, who had even more eyes on him.
The battle between two young warriors could pull in the majority of the attention in the empire. Especially in the younger generation, the effect of this battle was long-lasting.
Many young bloodline warriors who heard of Qian Jin but never paid attention to him now all tried to get all of his information.
"Qian Jin? Did he defeat Linguan Skylan? It seems like this younger generation of the Golden Griffin King Bloodline is dropping the ball. Linguan Skylan is at least four years older, yet Qian Jin won?"
...
Under a giant waterfall, a tri-head golden dragon bloodline warrior said in disdain, "Ever since Linguan Skylan went to the Punitive Expedition Academy, I knew he was a waste. He joined that academy for a woman. A man who would turn soft in front of a woman... can he still be called a warrior?"
...
"Linguan Skylan? He really thought that he was invincible after he stayed on the Human-Demon Battlefront for a while? Going back to the Punitive Expedition Academy abruptly already prophesied his defeat. However, I'm surprised that he lost to an ordinary warrior."
In a garden full of grass and flowers, Joen Lotus of the Ares bloodline stared at the bee that was on her fingertip and smiled. Then, she murmured, "An ordinary warrior was able to defeat Linguan Skylan, who was in the Half Saint Realm? This Qian Jin is much stronger than I expected. Did the person that I sent to get in touch with him meet Qian Jin? If not, he needs to speed up."
...
"Linguan Skylan lost? How?"
"Lost to an ordinary warrior? Impossible!"
"I heard that Qian Jin even beat the man from Warrior Hall..."
News spread in different places, and people's reactions were different as well.
...
"He killed Linguan Skylan?" The teacup in Qian Zhanxuan's hand cracked as he thought, "Now, this kid's reputation is going to grow again. Now, even the emperor will know about him. It is much harder to make a move on him, but..."
Qian Zhanxuan threw the cracked teacup and smiled. "Killing Linguan Skylan is a good thing. The Golden Griffin King Bloodline Family is also known as the Beast King Family. The honor and dignity of the king of beasts can't be violated. What Qian Jin did is no different to slapping this family in the face."
Qian Zhanxuan poured himself another cup of tea before slightly rotating the cup with his thumb and index finger. "That old lion won't sit and let this happen."
...
"Linguan Skylan? He is a great bloodline warrior..." the third eye that was vertical on Qian Wushan's forehead slowly closed, and intense magic energy fluctuation disappeared. He slowly stood up and blew the dust away from his body. "However, he isn't the best warrior in this generation in his family. I wonder how that sleepy lion is going to react."
"However, even if the Sleeping Lion King is defeated, it is meaningless for me." Qian Wushan sipped the fresh tea that a maid handed to him and smiled confidently. "My goal is to defeat the warriors of the other five ultimate bloodline families who achieve ultimate awakening. I only need to push the glory of Qian Family to the peak. In terms of Qian Jin? He is only a bug on the side of the road. I can kill him with a stomp. I believe that Zene Skylar will handle this properly."
Zene Skylar was a true master of Hanley State, and he was a despicable figure. He would do anything to secure the victory. When he was on the Human-Demon Battlefront, he used all kinds of shameless tactics and killed a saint warrior when he was only a peak soul-power warrior.
That was Zene Skylar's rise to fame.
Even though Zene Skylar wasn't a saint warrior yet, Qian Wushan believed that this warrior who used all kinds of dirty tactics would successfully kill Qian Jin.
Qian Wushan knew Zene Skylar well. This warrior who used all tactics loved killing famous ordinary warriors. The more prominent an ordinary warrior was, the more willing Zene Skylar was to battle this person. This way, he rarely offended big forces, so not a lot of people went after him for trouble.
Although Qian Jin had several significant forces under his control, Zene Skylar would for sure try to kill Qian Jin to increase his fame and reputation.
Qian Wushan continued to think as he strolled with his hands behind his back, "Zence Skylar was only defeated once by Fabreidis who was enraged, but not many people know about this."
"Now that Fabreidis is dead, and Qian Jin is related to Fabreidis and is like his successor... Zene Skylar is still ashamed of that defeat and wanted to revenge this entire time. After all, he was terrified of Fabreidis, who was no different from being a maniac and battled without caring about his own life."
However, Zence Skylar wasn't able to redeem himself, and Fabreidis suddenly advanced into the Saint Warrior Realm. Qian Wushan could imagine how terrified Zene Skylar was when he heard this news.
With Fabreidis dead, Zene Skylar would vent his anger and shame onto Qian Jin.
"Why should I do it myself?" Qian Wushan smiled pridefully after tracing Zence Skylar and Qian Jin's personalities and connections. "The Family Head likes doing everything himself. In this aspect, the Snake Emperor is far better."
"Unfortunately, the Snake Emperor's wisdom is limited." Qian Wushan was very confident in himself. "The Snake Emperor is the best in terms of vision, strength, calculation, and intelligence. However, his fame is destined to be crushed by my rise."
...
"An invitation from Qian Jin?"
