BXBX NOVEL Chapter 84: Break Your Most Precious Item!
Before, Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop’s hall was spacious and bright with all the weapons and items placed in an organized manner. Today, there was just a huge mess, as if it was the Human-Demon Battlefront after another intense battle.
Everyone held their breath, and no one blinked as they stared at Lucas’ hand that was about to open up the wooden box. They had all heard that there was super sharp weapon at Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop, but no one had seen it. They were excited to witness it first-hand.
A battle sword! Lucas gripped onto the handle of the sword tightly and pulled it out of the box. The sound of metal gliding against metal sounded for a few seconds as the body of the sword was unsheathed from the scabbard. The sword that had not left its scabbard for a long time had finally showed its terrifying presence again. Under the sun, it had turned the warm sunlight into a chilling light and reflected into the crowd’s eyes!
“This...” Lucas raised the sword in hand as he looked at Qian Jin and said haughtily, “is a Warrior Weapon! It’s called Trembling Frost!”
“Warrior Weapon?” The few adventurers were shocked as they looked at the weapon in Lucas’ hand. “Warrior Weapon! I’m actually seeing a Warrior Weapon!” they thought. The people who didn’t understand the significance of a Warrior Weapon all felt that this sword was extraordinary from just hearing its name.
The people in the crowd who knew what Warrior Weapons were looked at Qian Jin sympathetically. “It doesn’t matter where this kitchen knife comes from and what it was made of. If it goes up against a Warrior Weapon, then...”
“Warrior Weapon?” Qian Jin slightly frowned as his right foot stomped on the floor and charged at Lucas like a vicious tiger. Just like how he chopped the other weapons and items, he struck the Trembling Frost Sword with the kitchen knife forcefully.
Tink! Both the body of the sword and the kitchen knife made a crisp sound, and the spark flew out and slashed to the surroundings like fireworks! Lucas didn’t expect that the force coming from Qian Jin would be this strong. He felt pain coming from between his thumb and his index finger as that portion of his skin was torn. Blood immediately started to flow out. With his hand injured, he could no longer hold onto Trembling Frost Sword. He could only watch the sword fly out of his hands and rotate in the air.
After knocking the Trembling Frost Sword away with one strike, Qian Jin curled his legs and twisted his knees to give himself a boost. He jumped to the air and chased after the sword with another strike.
Tink! Before the second metal colliding noise was completely gone, Qian Jin’s third strike, fourth strike, and fifth strike followed closely afterwards.
Lucas stared at the kitchen knife in Qian Jin’s hand in shock. “This kitchen knife must also a Warrior Weapon! Otherwise, it wouldn’t still be intact after colliding with the Warrior Weapon Trembling Frost Sword several times! God! Which mad man forged this kitchen knife Warrior Weapon and where did he come from? Did he not know that a Warrior Weapon shaped as a kitchen knife can never utilize its strength and can never unleash all of its power in real combat?”
“This... this is too prodigal of an item!” Lucas was still complaining and condemning the creator of this kitchen knife, but his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pin! After the ninth collision between the two Warrior Weapons, the Warrior Weapon Trembling Frost Sword... broke in half! It was chopped in half by the kitchen knife!
Everyone was shocked! Franklin was also dumbfounded... Everyone couldn’t make the proper adjustments in their minds after seeing such a scene; they couldn’t wrap their heads around it. They all screamed and roared in their minds, “That sword Trembling Frost is a Warrior Weapon! It broke? That kitchen knife is just too terrifying! Am I dreaming?”
Qian Jin stepped on the Trembling Frost Sword that broke in half as he sneered while holding the kitchen knife in his hand. “You call this a Warrior Weapon? It’s inferior! I didn’t lie one bit; everything you are selling are inferior items! Even the Trembling Frost is an inferior weapon!”
“How could this be? How could this be? This is not possible...” Lucas shook his head; he couldn’t accept the fact that the Trembling Frost Sword was chopped in half. “This Warrior Weapon wasn’t forged by an ordinary Forge Master! It was forged personally by Forge Master Charlie, the apprentice of great Master Arunbas!”
Pa... Lucas sat on the floor powerlessly as he stared at the kitchen knife in Qian Jin’s hand bluntly. “How could this be? The Warrior Weapon created by Forge Master Charlie should even be able to break other people’s Warrior Weapon, let alone ordinary weapons! How could it lose to a kitchen knife?” he thought to himself desperately.
“Inferior goods!” Qian Jin lightly shook the kitchen knife in his hand as he turned around and said to the crowd, “Did everyone see that? I didn’t even use any of my warrior energy to help my knife!”
“This...” Lucas was still shaking his head, “This isn’t possible...”
“It’s not that impossible.” Qian Jin looked down at the Trembling Frost sword under his feet and said casually, “You could call this weapon a Warrior Weapon, since it does have good warrior energy conductivity. At the same time, you could say that it’s not a Warrior Weapon. The material that was used to forge this sword weren’t all at the Warrior Weapon level, and the forging technique was terrible. Anyone who is knowledgeable can tell that there are three points on this sword that should be able to take impact, but are in fact weak. Fortunately, you hadn’t sold it to any warrior. Otherwise, if a Demon Fighter went to the Human-Demon Battlefront with this weapon, he or she would easily end up being a demon warrior’s credit or merit.
“Everyone,” Qian Jin looked at the crowd again. “Weapons and armors are a warrior’s second life. I must ask you all to promote the fact that Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop has been selling inferior items. We all need warriors to protect us; I’m sure that you all don’t want to see our human warriors die to demon warriors just because his or her weapon or armor broke easily.”
“Ah, right! Also,” Qian Jin turned around and looked at the adventurers in the hall, “When you guys go on adventures and take missions, you will all be under great danger; you should be more responsible for your own lives. Make sure you don’t buy anything that is inferior. If you die to animals, demon beasts, demon warriors, and barbarian warriors because of these inferior items, then that would be too shameful. You wouldn’t be able to rest peacefully if you turn into an undead.”
Franklin followed Qian Jin and squeezed through the crowd; he was muddleheaded. He asked bluntly, “Qian Jin, was all that real?”
“Of course.” Qian Jin turned around and looked at Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop that was filled with people as he held onto the kitchen knife even tighter. If nothing went wrong, Lucas wouldn’t’ rest peacefully and do nothing tonight! By that time, it would be the best opportunity for Qian Jin to counterattack!
“One should never ignore an obviously life-threatening situation! Attack! Attack proactively! Kill the threat! Eliminate the threat!” – [Warrior’s Code]
As a warrior student who had always been at the top three at Oakland Academy in terms of written examinations, Qian Jin never forgot any of the quotes from the [Warrior’s Code].
Since Lucas had already planned and executed an assassination, then Lucas was his enemy! He was an enemy that posed significant threat! Eliminate him; that was the guidance from [Warrior’s Code].
“Qian Jin...” Franklin looked at Qian Jin nervously and shyly, “Uh... I know my request is going a bit far...” he said.
Qian Jin traced Franklin’s eyesight and handed Franklin the kitchen knife as he laughed, “You want this? It’s far inferior to a real battle ready Warrior Weapon.”
“That’s okay, that’s okay...” Franklin took the kitchen knife from Qian Jin’s hand in a covetous manner as he said, “I’m not going to sell it. Every blacksmith shop has its own precious item that proves its significance and creditability to all buyers. I was using a Level 4 Weapon before, but now...”
Qian Jin laughed as he observed Franklin’s behavior. “If you want, I can forge you a real Warrior Weapon that could be used in battles later when I have time.”
