Four Dragons Playing With a Pearl! Entering the Army’s Camp!
“Ding! You have collected a [Skill Essence (Orange)], and you can allocate experience points: 10,000!”
“As expected.” Qin Huai was not surprised.
The Sacred Heart sect’s strange cultivation technique secret manual had a clear direction. Only by cultivating a specific cultivation technique could one increase the speed of cultivation.
However, this hundred-year ice heart jade did not have such conditions, so it was within Qin Huai’s guess that the experience ball that dropped out could be randomly added.
“I’ll level up the rumbling thunder skill to level 20 first and then use the rest on the long breath technique.”
Qin Huai returned to his room and sat on his bed. He didn’t consider the breath control technique and the spirit eye technique for the time being. After all, they were both auxiliary-type cultivation techniques.
The most important thing now was to raise his strength. The city lord’s mansion’s several hundred armored cavalries trampling over the dojo gave Qin Huai a heavy sense of danger.
There was no telling when the battle between the eight martial arts centers and the city lord’s mansion would begin. He had to improve his combat power to the maximum in a short time.
Moreover, there was still the Thunderbolt Dojo, his nemesis, watching him.
With a slight thought, 10,000 experience points were instantly added to the rumbling thundering skill and the long breath technique by Qin Huai.
Name: Qin Huai
[Vitality]: 38.691
[Cultivation Methods]: [Long Breath technique (level 31, 1840/4000) ], [Rumbling Thunder skill (level 20, 0/2000)], [Breath Control technique (level 13, 875/1000) ], [Spirit Eye technique (level 10, 633/1000) ],
[Skills]: [Alchemy (advanced, 571/1600) ], [Forging (advanced, 64/1600)]
[Forbidden Skill ]:[Rising Dragon, 4/4]
[Stage: Level 3 Blood Refinement]
His vitality had increased by one point as usual, and he was only a little more away from the vitality of a fourth refinement martial artist.
What Qin Huai looked forward to the most was the fusion of the long breath technique and the rumbling thunder skill. He couldn’t wait to immerse himself in the changes within his body.
The four thick white dragons were still in a ring, continuously sending white gas to the eight extraordinary meridians to remove dirt. The only difference now was that the four white dragons were all covered in tiny electric arcs.
Although there were only a few of them, such a transformation already made Qin Huai very surprised.
“Eh?” Qin Huai then looked at the center of the four white dragons. A blue ball of light the size of a fingernail had appeared out of thin air.
The ball of light was emitting crackling electric arcs, then it was swept away by the white dragon. The next moment, traces of electric arcs wrapped around its body.
The white dragon wind also seemed to make the electric ball’s arc more vigorous.
It seemed like four dragons playing with a pearl. I’m in you, and you’re in me.
With the electric arcs, the power of the rising dragon will have a numbing effect. Four Dragons in a row are enough to kill a normal fourth refinement martial artist.
Qin Huai felt a little more comforted in his heart. Even if he couldn’t defeat them, he should still be able to escape.
“But… I should make another set of armor for myself.”
Qin Huai recalled the army earlier. The armors they were wearing were basically the thousand refined armor forged by the Changshan Dojo and the Thunderbolt Dojo, which had amazing defensive power.
With full body armor, it could block a refined martial artist and allow a well-trained ordinary soldier to fight against a first refinement martial artist for a short time.
Even the fourth refinement realm master of the Nantong Dojo would have to spend a lot of effort to pierce through the thousand refined armor if he wanted to kill him with one strike.
Today, the thousand refined armor played an important role in the exchange of the master of the Nantong Dojo with the thirty cavalrymen.
As Qin Huai thought about this, he had already walked up the White Flow Mountain. He went to Song Yinhe’s side and found a furnace pit, then started a fire and forged iron by himself.
Ever since his forging skills had reached the advanced level, he had become more and more adept at it.
He didn’t wear heavy armor because he couldn’t move easily and could easily become a target, especially if he met an opponent like him who was good at using medicine and was quite skillful.
Heavy armor was very passive. Therefore, Qin Huai’s thousand refined armor was very light. As long as it could absorb a portion of the force, it would be excellent.
The so-called strength was built up bit by bit. Every slight increase in combat strength could determine his life and death.
This was especially so in a world of martial arts where danger lurked everywhere. That was why Qin Huai could not afford to be careless. He had to maximize his combat strength to the maximum within his ability.
Qin Huai spent the entire night forging. He first forged some hidden weapons such as small daggers. They were soaked in the poison jars that they had concocted.
After that, he made a pair of arm guards and leg plates. He also made a small interlayer between the arm guards and leg plates and hid the poisonous dagger in it.
It was just right.
“Good boy, I’m making you a weapon, but you don’t want it… Now you’ve turned around and created your own. Are you looking down on this old man’s cooking?”
Song Yinhe walked over with a smile and picked up the poisonous dagger in the medicine jar. He sized it up, and his expression suddenly became strange.
“You little brat. Your forging skill has already reached advanced?” Song Yinhe picked up a torch and looked at it. The level of detail and the balance of the force were just right.
“I was just lucky.” Qin Huai was humble, neither arrogant nor impatient.
“Tsk, tsk, not only is your talent in martial arts hard to find in ten years, but your talent in blacksmithing is also amazing. If you focus on this path, you’ll definitely become a weapon grandmaster in the future… It’s a pity that the world doesn’t allow it~”
Song Yinhe had mixed feelings and could only sigh.
“Anyway, did Senior Brother Sun teach you how to use this poisonous hidden weapon?”
“Senior Brother Sun?” Qin Huai didn’t know who Senior Brother Sun was for a moment. “No, Master has never taught me these. I just felt it and did it in my mood.”
As expected, Master Song was not simple. He was actually his master’s senior brother. To cultivate the qi circulation technique to this age, his realm would definitely not be much lower.
“Then you two must be fated to meet in your previous life. He also likes to play these little tricks.” Song Yinhe sighed with emotion.
“This is a responsibility for your own life, and doing your best is also the greatest respect for the enemy.” Qin Huai defended himself with a straight face.
“Yes, yes, yes! Senior Brother Sun also said the same thing!” Song Yinhe shook his head and sighed with emotion. “He even designed a few strange hidden weapons that could increase the damage to the body.”
As Song Yinhe spoke, he picked up the iron hammer and iron nails. He took out a piece of iron and started to hit it. Then, he made a few more grooves on the dagger, and the blade became more bent.
“Well, according to Senior Brother Sun, if such a knife is inserted into the enemy’s body, it can make them bleed uncontrollably.”
...
The two of them busied around the furnace again. It was only at dawn that Qin Huai had finally finished making more than ten daggers.
Many blacksmiths had already started to go up the mountain to forge. The banging sounds rhythmically resounded in the morning sun.
Qin Huai stretched lazily and bid Song Yinhe farewell after putting away the dagger.
“Ding! You have collected a [Forging Skill Essence (White) ], [Forging Skill] experience +3〞”
“Ding! You have collected a [Forging Skill Essence (White) ], [Forging Skill] experience +1”
“Ding! You have collected a [Forging Skill Essence (White) ], [Forging Skill] experience +1”
After Qin Huai collected a wave of experience, he was ready to go back and catch up on his sleep.
When he reached the courtyard, he saw his senior brother Qi Yangbing waiting for him. There was a carriage parked at the entrance of the courtyard, carrying more than ten sets of armor.
“What is this?” Qin Huai asked, “Are you going to the army’s camp?”
“Yes, I am. We were supposed to send them together next month, but Master said that we’ll send them in two batches from now on. It’s better to observe them.” Qi Yangbing explained calmly.
“So the city lord’s mansion agreed?” Qin Huai understood the implied meaning.
...
“Yes, he gladly accepted.
“He’s so confident.” Qin Huai sighed.
Then, the two of them pulled the carriage toward the iron-armored army camp.
