Commanding Wind and Cloud
chapter-292

The best way to use warrior power was to maximize the momentum and impulse, but when the two warriors were close to each other, the only way was to use knees or elbows for short distance strikes. At this moment, physical strength would be leverage to maximize its effect.

The shorter warrior’s Metal Palm was about to smash onto his brother, so he had to quickly change up the trajectory of the attack as he tried to grab his brother with his right hand.

Good chance! Qian Jin rushed forward. His legs were so fast that they looked like they didn’t leave the ground. All the fingers in both of his hands struck out like eagle claws and stop by the crotches of the two warriors. If he moved his hands upward a little, the characteristics of men would be destroyed.

Hua…...Hua...

Qian Jin breathed heavily as he looked up at the two metal-like palms that were not too far away from his head. The whole room was silent.

Enlak who was staring at the fight his sharp eyes nodded at the three warriors in the middle of the battle ring. If Qian Jin was fighting them one on one, he would have lost. But since he was fighting both of them, he used this strategy to tilt the balance of the scale.

Win? Enlak shook his head. Qian Jin didn’t win, it was more like a draw and that was because Qian Jin used his weird fighting experiences at the last moment to regain some ground.

"It is a draw." Enlak waved his hand and said, "You two can go back now."

The two warriors straightened their backs and looked at Qian Jin who used a dirty tactic in disdain. they walked away from the center of the room with their heads high up.

"Don’t like my fighting style?" Qian Jin scratched his head and smiled. On the Human-Demon Battlefront, there was only life and death. The demon won’t admire you just because you died using a beautiful fighting style. Even if they did, so what? You would have died.

"This round is barely a draw." Enlak stood up slowly and said, "Therefore, you won’t get any prizes but I will answer a question from you."

Qian Jin looked at Enlak who slowly sat down on the floor that was destroyed with his legs crossed as Qian Jin recalled what happened. Even if a Demon Slayer who had great control of his or her warrior power could do what the fat warriors did, he was too fast in his changing of fighting techniques.

When warriors battled, they would choose a similar type of fighting techniques to increase the speed of the changing between techniques.

Both Land Tearing Chop and Diving Metal Multi-Chop were direct and powerful chopping techniques. Although one was a bloodline technique and one was a Divine Fighting Technique, they were similar in a way and it was easier to change the way the warrior power was arranged to use these techniques.

But to change a powerful and upfront technique to a soft and indirect technique? Qian Jin shook his head. Those were on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum and the way warrior power was arranged to use the techniques would be very different. Even though Wind and Cloud Warrior Power can be altered quickly, it wouldn’t achieve that.

Actually, Qian Jin didn’t think he could do that even if he was a level 9 Demon Slayer.

How? Qian Jin tapped his cheek with his fingers and he thought, "What happened was almost instantaneous as if his opponent didn’t even try to change his warrior power to change up the fighting techniques. It was almost like a thought; as soon as the idea of changing techniques popped into his head, his technique changed.

"Change as soon as the idea comes up?" Qian Jin scratched his head and he thought, "Blake told me that the heart can think as well, does that mean what I just did is... let me try."

"Dividing Metal Multi-Chop." Qian Jin suddenly raised his head and used his Warrior Heart Awareness to push the warrior power in his body to cycle and arrange itself. However, this wasn’t faster than before.

"No?" Qian Jin scratched his head and saw some admiration in Enlak’s eyes.

Warrior Heart. Qian Jin started to think again. He concentrated all of his energy and tried to understand and feel the Warrior Heart that he wasn’t familiar with.

Like a marble that was being played by an invisible hand, it was rotating in place without signs of stopping.

The sensation of life was being emitted by it but Qian Jin didn’t feel like it was thinking on its own.

Qian Jin’s eyebrows were almost twisted together as he tried to feel his Warrior Heart as he observed the surroundings. He was like a man who was trying to use his hands to touch the surroundings on a pitch dark night to get a feel for the surroundings.

One minute... three minutes... ten minutes... half an hour... one hour...

Like a stone statue, Qian Jin carefully observed his Warrior Heart. He suddenly realized something, his Warrior Heart wasn’t as pure as it was when he just got it!

That’s right! If he didn’t pay this much attention, he couldn’t discover that there were some "impurities" in his heart. No! Qian Jin shook his head.

Warrior Heart was a special entity that was formed after extreme purification. Its special ability was to purify the warrior power and make warrior power of a higher quality. When the volume and quality of the warrior power were high enough, soul power would be born.

There couldn’t be impurities in the Warrior Heart! Qian Jin’s twisted eyebrows slowly loosened. The stuff on the Warrior Heart wasn’t impurities, but rather some very light marks, like engravings made onto a stone board with a dull knife.

However, it wasn’t really engraved onto the Warrior Heart, it was even more purified warrior power floating in it.

This? This the Dividing Metal Multi-Chop and Land Tearing Chop’s warrior power arrangement pattern! Qian Jin’s eyes suddenly opened as surprise and confusion appeared in them. "How can the warrior power arrangement patterns appear in the Warrior Heart?" he wondered.

"You found it?" Enlak raised his eyebrows as more surprise appeared in his eyes compared to Qian Jin’s. "Really?" he asked.

"Really." Qian Jin looked at Enlak with confusion.

"Are you sure?" Enlak laughed with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Qian Jin tilted his head and felt his Warrior Heart again. That vague but real warrior power arrangement patterns were in his Warrior Heart for real.

"Why is it like this?" Qian Jin asked. "How can the arrangement patterns of fighting techniques appear on the Warrior Heart? Is this the so-called using the heart to think?"

"What else do you think?" Enlak said with appreciation. "I didn’t expect you to find the origin with only one hint. That’s right, this is the real use of Warrior Heart."

Qian Jin was silent as he looked at Enlak. He was waiting for his reward. It wasn’t too hard to discover it, but it was extremely hard to understand it. If he didn’t find answers here and had to figure out himself..."

"It would take a while." Qian Jin nodded as he thought. If he had to figure it out himself, it would take a long time. If he could get an answer here, why not?

"You probably sensed the speed of change when you fought with those two, right?" Enlak sat in front of Qian Jin as he waved his hand. All the chipped wood were quickly sucked into the air. They returned to their original shape and landed back in their original positions. The broken floor went back to normal again.

Qian Jin nodded and admired this god-like use of Warrior Heart Awareness. He couldn’t find an appropriate adjective to describe Enlak’s power.

"They can use their fighting techniques and change them up easily." Enlak knocked the wood floor with his knuckles. "They are even faster than you."

Qian Jin nodded. Dividing Metal Multi-Chop was different than Land Tearing Chop after all. Dividing metal Multi-Chop was more about movement, once in close contact without much room, it would hard to strike forcefully.

Land Tearing Chop, on the other hand, had to be calculated. The angle and the timing of the strike must be perfect to utilize 100% of the power.

If Land Tearing Chop was used after Dividing Metal Multi-Chop, two different strikes would complement each other and maximize the damage dealt. Together, they could tear through the Lingering Belly Fighting Technique.

However, the two fighting techniques were different. It was impossible to instantly change them up. If Qian Jin wasn’t able to make some room to create the momentum for the second strike, he would lose for sure.

"It’s actually simple." Enlak smiled as he raised his hand. The wood chips on the floor were pulled into his palm. "Their Warrior Hearts had already created the warrior power arrangement patterns in them by using the purest power ahead of time."

The wood chips slowly rotated in Enlak’s palm as they formed a little wood sphere. It was empty inside and Qian Jin was able to clearly see many small wood chips forming strange arrangements in it.

Boom! The heart like sphere jumped and a set of patterns in the wood sphere quickly enlarged and the wood chips on the outside of the heart instantly formed the patterns.

Boom! The "heart" jumped again, and another set of arrangement patterns enlarged. The wood chips on the outside instantly formed that pattern without any delay.
