Chapter 100
Commanding Wind and Cloud
Chapter 100: The Most Brilliant Era Has Come! To Be Number One!
“Was there such a thing?” Qian Jin looked at the elder doubtfully. He had read all the notes written by all the bloodline warriors in the Qian Family who had achieved the Ultimate Awakening. Those notes were very random. There weren’t any training tips, but there were a lot of personal stories and experiences. Qian Kunge’s writing was very natural, wild, and unconstrained. Anyone who read his writings would never forget about it.
Qian Jin searched his memories; although there were a few records of cruel and dangerous fights, the opponents were demons like the Demon King of his time, as well as Fallen Angel Bloodline warriors who were also Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors. The name Berjurshi had never appeared in Qian Kunge’s notes.
Qian Jin had read Qian Kunge’s notes several times. He tried to see if Qian Kunge subconsciously left any clues regarding a warrior’s training to no avail. What he did learn was that Qian Kunge wasn’t someone who was afraid of losing. Anyone who left a profound impression in his mind was mentioned in his notes. If what the elder said was true, then such a close and heroic fight shouldn’t have been left out of the notes, and the name Berjurski should’ve been mentioned.
“After a few hundred years…” A very proud expression appeared on the elder’s face as he spoke, “Another great and powerful warrior who trained using the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll appeared! Just like the creator of the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll, he also started to privately challenge all the great warriors around the empire. He won all the fights, but unfortunately…”
“It was about the time that the Trihead Golden Dragon Ultimate Supreme Bloodline warrior appeared…” Qian Jin thought as he scratched his head and smiled bitterly. All three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors from Zence Empire had never appeared at the same time. There were special intervals between them; after one Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warrior passed away, a new Bloodline Warrior from one of the two other families would have his or her Ultimate Awakening and become the most powerful warrior in Zence Empire after that set time interval.
A few hundred years after an Elf King Bloodline Warrior had their Ultimate Awakening, it became the Trihead Golden Dragon Bloodline Warrior’s turn to have his or her Ultimate Awakening. The timing was the same on the demon side; a new Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Demon Warrior would also have their Ultimate Awakening. Everything was so organized, as if the gods loved to watch the battles and didn’t want one empire to conquer the other.
“Ah… the Trihead Golden Dragon Bloodline Warrior was way too strong…” The elder sighed and shook his head just like before. “So unfortunate… it was really unfortunate… so close… It was another close fight! After that fight, the inheritor of the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll also lived in seclusion, just like Berjurski. After a few hundred years passed again…”
“The Ares Bloodline Warrior who had the Ultimate Awakening showed up…” Qian Jin made a very educated guess.
After the elder introduced the warrior who trained with the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll and lost to the Ares Bloodline Warrior, he didn’t stop. His story traveled another few hundred years, and it was time for Elf King Bloodline Warrior from the Qian Family to have the Ultimate Awakening…
The Elf King Bloodline Ultimate Warrior, the Trihead Golden Dragon Bloodline Ultimate Warrior, and the Ares Bloodline Ultimate Warrior… Then, the cycle would repeat, one after another.
Qian Jin was so bored that his eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier. He didn’t want to interrupt the elder who wanted to talk. He probably hadn’t spoken to anyone in a long time, after all. Therefore, he had to listen to the story that looped again and again.
After half an hour, the elder finally stopped the story; Qian Jin wasn’t sure if the story was finally done or if the elder was just thirsty.
“Do you know what kind of glorious history the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll has now?” The elder looked at Qian Jin as he encouraged him, “This is the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll that could give you the opportunity to become the second most powerful warrior on this continent! Wait… probably the third most powerful warrior!”
After Qian Jin listened to the elder’s story, which hadn’t recorded in the notes from the Ultimate Warrior from his former family for a long time, the interest he had in the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll dropped a lot.
Although the elder in front of him was a powerful warrior who had the strength that no one could neglect, his bullsh*ting and bragging skills were a million time stronger than his warrior strength! Fortunately, gods were only something that people talked about and had never seen, otherwise…
Qian Jin suspected that there might be a powerful warrior who trained using the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll. Hr likely secretly engaged in a fight with a [god]. The result was probably very unfortunate with a close fight. However, this warrior lost to a god!
“No… you won’t be the third most powerful warrior… let me do the math…” The elder wrote on the ground with his finger as he calculated something. More and more disappointment accumulated on his face. By the end, the elder looked up at Qian Jin with a very distressed expression on his face as he said, “Kid, you are very unlucky! Even if you are lucky enough to train to the maximum level of the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll, you can probably only become the seventh most powerful warrior on this continent… Hey! It’s not that bad. Even warriors who are ranked in the hundred and thousanth place are considered great warriors. Seventh place would make you a very great warrior.”
“The seventh?” Qian Jin looked at the elder as he asked. He was very confused. “Why seventh place? You just said that if I’m lucky, I should be the third most powerful warrior.”
“Ah… You weren’t born in the right time.” A painful expression appeared on the elder’s face as he patted Qian Jin’s shoulder to comfort him. “Kid, do you know which one of the three families will have a bloodline warrior experience the Ultimate Awakening?”
Qian Jin laughed; how could he not know?
“The Qian Family!”
“Huh? You know something about that as well?” A hint of surprise appeared in the elder’s eyes.
The smile on Qian Jin’s face turned bitter. As someone who failed the Primary Awakening during the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony, his only advantage was that he enjoyed reading. From the documentaries and calculations in the Qian Family, one member of the Qian Family who was around his age would have multiple bloodline awakening and end up with the Ultimate Awakening. By that time, he or she would become the strongest warrior and the backbone of Zence Empire.
“Unfortunately, you don’t see the full picture.” The elder said as he pointed at the numbers he drew on the ground. “Ever since the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline existed in Zence Empire, the question and controversy of which Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warrior is the strongest has never stopped.”
Qian Jin nodded as the elder spoke. He had to admit that other than the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Families who argued that their Ultimate Warriors were the strongest, even ordinary people continued disputing this controversy. Almost every bookstore would publish a book about which Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warrior was the strongest, and all of these books had great selling records.
The only thing was that the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors had never met. Therefore, people only supported the Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warrior of their choice, and this controversy never ended.
“After more than ten years, or more than dozens of years, people won’t mention this controversy anymore.” The elder pointed at the numbers on the ground and said, “These are the years when Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors appeared and the time intervals between them. I have done some calculations. Take a look…”
Qian Jin looked down at the numbers carefully. He became more surprised as he looked at the numbers; his eyes opened wider and wider, as well. After he finished, he looked at the elder with an unbelieving expression on his face as he asked, “You are saying… the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors… No! The six Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors are going to appear on this continent at the same time after many years of staggering between them?”
“Yes, that’s right!” The elder raised his head which wasn’t much smaller than a bear’s head proudly. “The question that troubled humans and demons for numerous years was about to be solved! The authors who used this controversy to publish books and make money probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to use their predictions to make money anymore! In the future, possibly even in the near future, the question of who was the strongest Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warrior will be answered by the stone-cold fact!”
Qian Jin’s heart pounded quickly as if a tsunami had just struck. He had never thought that the era where all three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors would appear around the same time. After he looked at the numbers and calculations the elder made based on the times when Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors appeared, it looked like in his lifetime, all three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors would meet for the first time in history and determine who was really the strongest warrior in this era.
“No wonder…” After Qian Jin thought about what went on in the Qian Family, he realized that the Qian Family already knew that all three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Warriors would meet in this era and decide who was the most powerful Ultimate Bloodline Warrior. When Qian Jin was still in the Qian Family, the family valued warriors who awakened their bloodlines in recent years a lot more than what he read from the documentaries and books.
“Therefore…” the elder looked at Qian Jin in pity and said, “Even if you are the luckiest warrior ever, you can only be the seventh strongest warrior on this continent.”
“The seventh?” The disdainful way that everyone in the Qian Family looked at him after he failed the Primary Awakening appeared in Qian Jin’s head. After he thought about his dad’s aged figure and his lightly bent back, a strong feeling of anger lit up in his heart. He suddenly stood up and looked at the elder as he said, “Why only the seventh strongest warrior? Why can’t the Ultimate Bloodline Warriors be surpassed? If I’m going to give it my all, then my goal will be to become the greatest warrior! The absolute number one!”
“The absolute number one?” The smile suddenly froze on the elder’s face, and it soon turned into surprise. He wasn’t sure if he should say that Qian Jin was arrogant or if he simply had a lofty goal. Bloodline warriors who had their Ultimate Awakenings were called the “living gods”. The only people who could match up to them were other bloodline warriors who had their Ultimate Awakenings.
“The absolute number one,” Qian Jin replied. He didn’t mind that the elder had exaggerated the effectiveness of the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll. There were probably a lot of training scrolls that had a record of self-appreciation.
After putting all the bullsh*t away, at least the elder who trained with the Wind and Cloud Power Training Scroll was very strong. That probably explained why there wasn’t a single vicious animal or demon beast from the entrance pathway of Four Season Valley to here. This elder probably killed and ate a lot of them, and the smart ones had backed off into the deeper parts of the valley.
“Four Season Valley?” Qian Jin suddenly thought of a question. “Elder, how long ago did the winter start? How long has passed?” he asked.
After some thinking, the elder said, “Probably about a month now.”
Qian Jin suddenly felt like his vision was turning black as the elder’s answer resonated in his mind. “About a month now… Wouldn’t that mean there are still about two more years until the winter stops? If I want to leave this Four Season Valley, do I really have to wait two years?”
