Commanding Wind and Cloud
chapter-458

"Oh, ok." Qian Jin nodded happily. Since the beginning, he was stopped every time he wanted to help with an experiment.

"You want to help or do you want to make a mess? Just stay there and watch."

Qian Jin heard this from Adams many times, but he was asked to help out this time, that meant his skills had increased recently.

After one experiment, Qian Jin wanted to have two more arms. He made several errors which almost cost Adams the entire experiment.

"You passed." Adams was satisfied as he saw Qian Jin sweating like crazy. "You can now finally able to help with easy experiments. You have a lot to work on – try to help me with medium level experiments in the future.

Qian Jin nodded as a response. He was a little disappointed. "So after all, I'm only helping with an easy experiment. I'm so tired after helping with the easy experiment, looks like I'm still far away from being a God-tier Pharmacist."

"Kid, come." Eulalia shook the test tube in her hand and Qian Jin knew he was the lab rat for this potion.

After an hour of enduring the Hundred Time Volcano Potion and two hours of helping out, he finally left Eulalia's place.

"Kid, come"

Qian Jin didn't know if he should laugh or cry. This Rune Master looked like a loli, but she still called him a kid. "Uh... She is my master because I'm not good at runes..." He thought.

"I will teach you a new system." Akenash said with a troubled face and a complaining tone. "Go stand on that circular disk in the back."

"Qian Jin walked into the backyard and saw a huge metal plate that was more than five meters in diameter. It was made from lots of Purified Iron and more than a dozen other rare metals. There were lots of complicated magic arrays on it. Qian Jin couldn't figure out what it was right away.

"I looked at the stuff you told me about." Akenash took out more than a dozen magic cores and placed them around the magic arrays. "The idea is good, but there are hidden side-effects. I think that is for activating some kind of power, right?"

Qian Jin nodded. He knew she was telling him about the Second Altar of Hydra Bloodline Family.

"Although you didn't give me enough information, I can tell the idea is good. However, there are a lot of safety concerns, and many arrays are not correct. For example, that array would transfer the special techniques... it is correct in theory, but it used an oppressive method to transfer the ability forcefully. Everything would be fine, but when engaging in a heated fight, the thing that was being oppressed might come out and cause chaos."

Qian Jin's eyes shone. There were a lot of records of Hydra Bloodline Warrior at the Qian Family. There were records where the leader of Pam Family fell into a state of chaos when fighting with demons on the Human-Demon Battlefront and getting killed because of it.

"The more powerful one is, the more serious the backlash would be." Akenash said. "For example, if one ability activated at a high-level, then that chaos would appear during their daily lives, and there would be constant pains."

Qian Jin was surprised! What she said was all right! In the records, Hydra Bloodline Warriors who achieved Heavenly Awakening would get chaotic during their daily lives. "Could Pam Honzi also suffer from this I remember he dropped his chopsticks when we were having dinner once..." Qian Jin thought.

A man powerful like Pam Honzi won't drop his chopstick. Qian Jin frowned. He didn't pay attention to that detail, but now he could recall that the Snake Emperor's expression didn't look too happy.

"Although it is an inferior product, the idea is worth praising."

Akenash put down the last piece of Magic Core and she murmured to herself. Qian Jin who stood in the center of the plate realized that the magic arrays lit up one after another.

In less than a second...

"Fuck."

Qian Jin couldn't help but swear. His body dropped, but he managed to stand back up again.

20 times... 20 times the normal gravity. He didn't know what this was, so he was affected by this magic conductor that much.

Qian Jin looked at the iron plate under his feet as he understood what it was. It was a device that was similar to the Kun-Fighting Technique of Qian Family.

"Huh? Not bad." Akenash squatted down in front of the plate as she pressed a few buttons with her small finger. A few magic arrays that were dark lit up as well.

25 times... 30 times... 35 times...

The bones in Qian Jin's body cracked as his first Warrior Heart already started to rotate. 10,000 ... 20,000 ... 30,000 ... 40,000.... 43,000 ... 45,000 ... 47,000 – that was his peak.

His cycle speed would easily go over the 100,000 limit, but 47,000 was the new limit under such circumstances. It didn't matter how hard Qian Jin wanted to increase the cycle speed, he couldn't do it.

"This?" The hair on Qian Jin's body straightened. "This... the real Kun-Fighting Technique! That is right! I told her about the characteristics of the Kun-Fighting Technique, and she actually used runes and magic array and fully mimicked it."

The real Kun-Fighting Technique changed both the gravity around the opponent and the gravity and pressure inside the opponent. Under such interference, the cycle speed of Warrior Power would decrease by a lot.

"I can't believe it." Qian Jin looked at the shiny magic arrays around him as he thought, "The 37 times gravity made it hard for him to move and the cycle speed of his warrior power slowed down so much that he felt like he was a rookie again.

"There wasn't enough time and materials." Akenash said as she observed the operating condition of the conductor. "It is a little smaller, has fewer functionalities, essentially, an inferior product."

"Inferior product?" Qian Jin smiled bitterly as he tried to move his arms. "This just great! This is only an inferior product in her eyes? If I practice in here enough, I won't be afraid of the Kun-Fighting Technique that even the Demons are afraid of."

"You are pretty fast." Akenash kept on pressing buttons on the item. "Adding more gravity is not that interesting, let me show you what I came up with."

Boom!

It became really cold on the magic conductor. Qian Jin felt like he was thrown into a freezer while naked.

Cold! Qian Jin shivered. His 47,000 cycle speed quickly slowed down. 45,000 ... 43,000... 40,000 ... 37,000...30,000 ... 26,000...

In just two seconds, the former 100,000 cycle speed couldn't be seen. The best Qian Jin could do was 23,000. He felt like his reservoirs and connections were frozen.

This wasn't the usual coldness. Just like Kun-Fighting Technique, it was affecting the internal state. The 23,000 cycle speed started to decrease again.

"I can't take it! The third Warrior-Heart!" Qian Jin opened his eyes, and frost fell off of his eyebrows. As soon as the third warrior heart started to rotate, the cycle speed increased, 24,000 …... 26,000 ... 30,000...

The cycle speed increased, and the warmth returned to his body.

"Interesting." Akenash raised her eyebrows and pressed another button. All of the magic cores cracked and a lot more magic power was sent to the magic conductor.

Instantly, the cycle speed dropped: 27,000 ...23,000 ... 20,000 ... 19,000...

Under 35 times gravity and the coldness, Qian Jin's cycling speed dropped below the 20,000 threshold.

"Heart of Earthy Fire!" Qian Jin clenched his fist, and all the frozen reservoirs and connects returned to normal.

Akenash looked at Qian Jin who trying his best in the magic conductor with a smile on her face.

In a few seconds, the Heart of Earthy Fire finished letting out heat, and the recovering cycle speed started to move down again.

Out of tricks, Qian Jin had to use the Heart of Earthy Fire again and again.

In less than a minute, it was used six times. After that, didn't matter how hard Qian Jin tried to use it, it stopped responding to Qian Jin's commands.

"You can't leave this magic conductor." Akenash raised her index finger and pressed on the edge of the Magic Conductor.

For the first time, Qian Jin felt like Akenash's tiny figures were more powerful than a lot of warriors or mages. He wasn't sure what was about to hit him.

Tink! Another magic array lit up.

A series of magic arrays and symbols appeared in front of Qian Jin, and there was a projection of Akenash while she was working.

"This ..."

After looking at this, Qian Jin understood what Akenash wanted him to do, study runes in this condition.

"Here." Akenash threw a few tools into the magic conductor and said, "Just practice in there."

Rune Artists usually required zero mistakes. Akenash, on the other hand, wanted Qian Jin to do the carving and engraving the fastest.
