Chapter 584: Honorable and Glorious Soul

Translator: BigDonnyDon Editor: EbonyFrost, BigDonnyDon

The final line of defense before Qian Jin’s first Warrior Heart was destroyed and the Iron-Arm Mantis Warrior Soul already smashed itself onto the first Warrior Heart before Qian Jin could do anything.

Boom! Qian Jin who was lying on the floor suddenly bounced 50 centimeters into the air, and blood jetted out of all his pores. He was immediately turned into a blood man.

"I’m really going to die this time?" Qian Jin thought as he felt like his first Warrior Heart was about to break. All of the memories he had started to flash before his eyes.

His father’s tears and heroism...

The honor of the Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline...

The shamelessness of Duren Burg...

The fortitude and persistence of Fanta Kunge...

The coldness of Cech Flet...

The mentality of Zence Matten...

The slyness and toughness of Uncle Marc Gavin...

The childishness of Lucifer Lucy...

The gentleness and Rosella...

The decisiveness and irregular softness of Gomez Jane...

The timidity of Gabriella...

The invincibility of Gloria...

The elderly care of Uncle Fabreidis...

The dominance of Bhang Wusheng...

The calculated nature of Pam Honzi...

And the arrogance of that damn Qian Zhanxuan!

"Sh*t! I still have many things that I haven’t completed! I’m unwilling to die," Qian Jin thought. His first Warrior Heart was about to pop under pressure and the insane pain numbed his body and made it hard for him to even move his fingers; he couldn’t even take out the magic hat that connected with Endless World.

"From today on, you are my apprentice, old Blake’s apprentice!"

"Qian Jin, come here and try this Mystic Potion!"

"Idiot! Is that how you make the potion?"

"I will tell you if you defeat me."

"Runes? Those are easy! You are just dumb."

The images of his teachers in Endless World flashed through by his eyes.

"I don’t want to die now! I’m unwilling..." as Qian Jin thought about that, the scene where multiple Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Warriors charging into numerous enemies non-stop without turning back appeared in his head.

The flags of the Zence Empire fluttered behind them, the sounds of the war drums resonated in the sky, and these warriors charged forward! Iron-Arm didn’t mean invincible, but Iron-Arm did mean no giving up!

Bam! That Iron-Arm Mantis Warrior Soul exploded, and the first Warrior Heart bounced back. It started to cycle on its own rapidly, and the power emitted by that Iron-Arm Mantis Warrior Soul was no longer violent. As if this power found its home, it charged into the first Warrior Heart.

"Huh?" as Qian Jin was confused, an unthinkable figure popped into his head. He was... Warrick Lifeng!

This descendant of the traitors was standing on a bed of flowers and smiling at Qian Jin; it looked like he was as gentle and as warm as an elder.

His smile was filled with warmth, joy, and relief!

"What is going on?" Qian Jin was not sure about what happened, and that image of Warrick Lifeng suddenly spoke, "Young man, thank you..."

"Huh? Warrior Mage Dual Trainer?" Qian Jin was surprised. Warrick Lifeng didn’t use any magic spells when battling him! Not even a complimentary and passive spell.

What was happening now was that Warrick Lifeng used a memory magic spell; this spell could record what a person or demon wanted to say before death and pass it to the receiver.

Qian Jin stared at Warrick Lifeng in his head; this old Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Warrior was looking at him like how an elder was looking at a descendant of his.

"Thank you, young man! So, you are Qian Jin!" Warrick Lifeng exposed Qian Jin’s secret calmly. "I don’t know who your master is, but only a few people know the Bloodline Technique of the Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline. One of them is one of my relatives who became a bandit."

Qian Jin blinked and continued to listen.

"I know a secret that a lot of people don’t; the person who killed that relative of mine was called Qian Jin! He took away the scroll with our Bloodline Technique on it. I thought it would be useless for you since it was a Bloodline Technique, but... you somehow could use it. I knew you are Qian Jin as soon as you use Dividing Metal Multi-chop, but I’m glad. Your warrior path contains our Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline’s honor and glory. My ancestors made a mistake; a very bad mistake." Warrick Lifeng continued, "If I was born in that era, I would try to stop the leader of our family. It doesn’t matter how we were wronged, we should never betray humans! However, the Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Family had indeed committed treason, and I’m the descendant of traitors. I always wanted to fix this; I tried to go back to the Zence Empire. But what would that result in?"

A bitter smile appeared on Warrick Lifeng’s face as he said, "I thought about assassinating the Demon King after I become a Saint Warrior or achieve Heavenly Awakening, but I’m not talented enough..."

"After I knew that the Seven Prince of Lucifer was getting involved in a technique called Undead, I became worried," Warrick Lifeng said to Qian Jin. "This matter is hard to describe and I couldn’t explain it clearly in the short time. But you have to know that Undead creatures are dangerous! You have to be careful! However, don’t tell anyone about it; no one would believe you."

After a brief moment of pause, he continued, "I thought I was able to stop the Seven Prince, but I was controlled by him using the Undead techniques." With a bright smile on his face, he laughed, "Young man, thank you for the strike! Your strike relieved me from torture!"

"I, am an honorable Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Warrior! I have my glory! How could I be the lapdog of the demons? How could I be controlled by Undead?" Warrick Lifeng suddenly changed his tone and shouted, "Young man, I don’t have much to give you. My broken Iron-Arm Mantis Warrior Soul is my only gift to you."

He added, "Haha, Warrior Hearts, Warrior Souls, these all could be inherited. But they required kinship..." Warrick Lifeng shrugged and explained, "We aren’t connected by blood... however, you don’t have Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline but are able to use the Bloodline Technique. Perhaps this would work."

"Young man, I hope you are lucky. Before my death, I was only able to control 50% of my body. Those Warrior Seals injected into your body by the part of me controlled by the Undead is enough to kill you..." Warrick Lifeng’s body started to turn translucent.

"But if you are lucky and are able to accept my Warrior Soul, then you could control those Warrior Seals easily. They would become a second gift for you. Of course, you need to successfully accept the Warrior Soul from me, a stranger who isn’t connected to you!"

"Oh right! You need to first awaken your warrior path first! You have to remember your unstoppable will and summon the honor of the Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline! By doing this, you could potentially increase the chance of succeeding... even if you fail, my broken Warrior Soul would disappear and won’t attack you..."

After this warrior said that, he disappeared.

Qian Jin stared into the void and thought, "This man didn’t even try! He knew my identity from the beginning, and he decided to be killed by me! This opponent... no, this warrior... this is an honorable warrior! I... I killed an honorable warrior who wasn’t a traitor..." Qian Jin murmured as he recalled Warrick Lifeng’s actions. "I killed an honorable warrior! I mistakenly killed..." he was regretting everything he did.

"Thank you, young man! You saved me from the power of the Undead, you don’t need to blame yourself."

Warrick Lifeng’s image suddenly appeared, and he disappeared again as if he was never there. However, his unyielding iron will left a deep mark in Qian Jin’s head, and Qian Jin’s first Warrior Heart was pumping rapidly.

Every time the first Warrior Heart moved, Qian Jin felt like a power deep in his heart was summoning him. It was a strange feeling as if he was with numerous Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Warriors who were battling the demons.

That broken Warrior Soul of Warrick Lifeng rooted itself into Qian Jin’s first Warrior Heart like a seed.

"Huh?" Qian Jin was surprised. Like what Warrick Lifeng had said, Warrior Hearts and Warrior Souls could only be passed between kinships when the donors were at their primes.

Right now, Warrick Lifeng was no longer at his prime; he was going downhill. Qian Jin believed that his ranking on the [Potential Saint List] was much higher when he was younger.

It was strange! It was unexplainable! Qian Jin did sense that a portion of Warrick Lifeng’s essence fell into his first Warrior Heart.

The Warrior Seal for Dividing Metal Multi-chop, Break Water Rip Tides, Crack Land, and incomplete Tear Ocean all stopped attacking; as if they were summoned by their master, they all rushed into Qian Jin’s first Warrior Heart. There was so much energy that the first Warrior Heart was about to pop. However, that ecstatic sensation of power increase made Qian Jin want to moan.

Soon, Warrick Lifeng’s Warrior Seal for Dividing Metal Multi-chop merged with Qian Jin’s, Warrick Lifeng’s Warrior Seal for Break Water Rip Tides merged with Qian Jin’s, and the Warrior Seal for Crack Land and incomplete Tear Ocean rotated in the first Warrior Heart by themselves.
