Chapter 408: Sky Shot Secret Technique
"Ah..."
As Rocky Ray uttered a weak groan, he slowly woke up from the coma. The half-opened eyes seemed blank like a new-born baby was looking at this strange world.
"What is your name?"
"Rocky Ray."
Marc Gavin listened carefully to the murmuring sounds. The boy was losing his sanity, which made him sound like a dull toy.
"Who sent you here?"
"Ray Zhen from the Ray Family and Ray Guamin from the Blacksmith Union."
What? The Ray Family again? Wrath surged and dominated Qian Jin’s mind. After the force had established itself in Yulee, they cared nothing except the accumulation of wealth from generation to generation. The family was built on blood and money.
Now although they didn’t have a leader, the most promising offspring had died and the business was undercut by the Torrent Battle Fort, they were still putting up a deathbed struggle at the last gasp. Like wolves, they hid in the dark and licked their wounds. As long as there was a chance, they would rush out and bite you in surprise.
"The Rays, the Rays..." Qian Jin repeated to himself as he was thinking how to exterminate this bitter enemy. He might not be able to do this on his own. He had to turn to a well-matched force.
"Humph! Looks like I have guessed it right!" Marc Gavin frowned and the hard-featured face forced out a ferocious sneer. "The Rays have gone too far these days! How dare they hire a killer? Are they suggesting our Torrent Battle Fort is a pauper? They think we have no money to hire a killer? In fact, we don’t need to! I could be a killer and kill them all if I want!"
"Hire a killer?" Something had struck Qian Jin and his eyes brightened. Looking at the man who was about to wake up, he said, "Tell me about your archery."
"[Sky Shot Secret Technique]."
"[Sky Shot Secret Technique]? Where is it?" Qian Jin tried to grasp every second he had!
"In my Warrior Dimension."
"Take it out and give it to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Flipping his palm, Rocky Ray poked his arm into the storehouse as if it had never dislocated. In a second, [Sky Shot Secret Technique Volume I] was there, in Qian Jin’s hand.
"Uh...Am I..."
Suddenly, Rocky Ray opened his eyes in surprise and glanced around. Why was Qian Jin reading the book that his ancestor had nabbed from the Purple-Vein Bloodline Warriors?
"Is this the secret archery technique of Purple-Vein Bloodline Family?" Qian Jin skimmed through the book and began to understand why this Behemoth Bloodline Warrior in front of him was such a great archer.
The Barbarian’s Sky Shot Secret Technique was quite different from the Zence’s Divine Shot, which connected only with the Warrior Power sequences and shooting skills. Frankly speaking, it was a special trade exclusive to the Yuri Family members who had awakened their bloodline power.
On the contrary, although the Sky Shot Secret Technique cared about the warrior power sequences and different skills too, any beginner, as long as he had some brute strength, would be able to employ [Connected Flames], the skill which looked like the [Chain Arrows].
"Interesting." Qian Jin turned a few more pages and he found out that although the Warrior Power sequences and shooting skills did contradict those of the Divine Shot, the effects were almost the same. "If I combined these two kinds of archery together, what will happen?"
Two kinds of archery? Rocky Ray was surprised by this idea but very soon he laughed, grimly. He didn’t know about the other, but Sky Shot Secret Technique, being a superb shooting skill, could only be mastered by Barbarian’s Purple-Vein Bloodline Warriors! It was a Unique Bloodline Fighting Technique which was to be shown with bows and arrows!
In just a second, the worries died down from the young boy’s face. It didn’t matter even if this human had had the book. He had no Purple-Vein Bloodline power. There was no way he could...
Snap! Flickering the wrist, Qian Jin had pierced the thick door with just a steel ball. He looked at his fingers and tried to reflect on the first strike in the Sky Shot Secret Technique that he had just performed with the [Supreme Wind and Cloud Power].
Rocky Ray was stunned by the casual blow. Was that the [Connected Flames]? No way... Wasn’t he a human? How did he nail it without the Bloodline Power of Purple-Vein? Although it looked still a little awkward, he had captured the essence!
"It seems this [Fire All-Around] is much easier to learn than the [May’s Shower]. It just needs more time."
Putting the book into his own Warrior Dimension, Qian Jin once again focused on Rocky Ray. Who had thought there would be a Volume II? It’s too bad he was not a qualified Mystic Pharmacist. The Level 1 potion was not enough.
It was highly possible that Rocky Ray had the Volume II in his Warrior Dimension too. But Qian Jin had to wait, at least for a month, before he could use the potion again. As for torture?
Qian Jin shook his head at the option. Killers wouldn’t practice if they hadn’t gone through certain rigorous training. Roasting and racking couldn’t get a single word out of them. Well, it seemed he had no other choice but to wait.
"Son, since you have the names, it’s no use to keep the guy alive." Holding his ax in hand, Marc Gavin with a villainous face walked to Rocky Ray who had put on a cold expression again. "Shall I kill him?"
"Wait..." Lifting his ram in front of the president, Qian Jin tried to stop him. "He only surrendered the Volume I of [Sky Shot Secret Technique] and the Volume II should still be in his Warrior Dimension."
"What? [Sky Shot Secret Technique]?" Marc Gavin looked at Qian Jin in bewilderment. "What is that?
Despite Rocky Ray being in a lot of pain due to the dislocated arms, he still managed to force out a disdainful sneer. People might know the Barbarian Purple-Vein Bloodline, but few had heard of their shooting technique.
Qian Jin fetched the book out and handed it over to Marc Gavin. "Here, the Unique Bloodline Fighting Technique of the Purple-Vein Bloodline."
"The Archer Family of the Barbarians? The Unique Bloodline Fighting Technique of the Purple-Vein Bloodline?" The bear’s eyes blooming with greed immediately started browsing. But gradually the two thick eyebrows twisted together as disappointment and impatient showed up on his face. "Damn it! It won’t work! The sequence doesn’t match my Warrior Power. Qian Jin, are you planning to sell this to the Yuri Family? I’m afraid..."
Marc Gavin forced a laugh and stopped talking. It wouldn’t work for the Yuri Family either. The Unique Bloodline Fighting Technique would only apply to those who had awakened their bloodline power.
"I smell danger on him." Marc Gavin looked at Rocky Ray. "We could do nothing about the [Sky Shot Secret Technique] anyway. I say we kill him, just in case."
"Uncle Marc..." Qian Jin sighed. "The steel bead there was shot out according to what the book says. Although I haven’t figured it out thoroughly, believe me, it will work."
"What?"
The president had a shiver. He was shocked, and his eyes were hanging out of their sockets. The giant ax in his hand, which had hacked God knew how many Demons, fell down on the ground and split the tile into pieces.
Marc Gavin poked his ears and asked one more time to make sure he hadn’t heard it wrong. "You can use it, the Unique Bloodline Fighting Technique of the Purple-Vein Bloodline?"
Qian Jin gently nodded. He didn’t need the president’s advice on whether to kill this young warrior or not. He would have put the Rocky assassin to death if he got the other half of the Sky Shot Secret Technique.
Marc Gavin could not help but swallow the lump in his throat. The Adam’s apple which was as large as a child’s fist kept rumbling. This piece of news was a million times more shocking the fact that Qian Jin was a Forge Grandmaster.
Different Unique Bloodline Fighting Techniques kept being invented since the first supreme warrior was born but never had a bloodline picked up that of other systems, let alone an ordinary warrior.
It was natural to envisage a more or less one-to-one correspondence between those Fighting Techniques and different Bloodline Powers. Even an Elf King, who had gone through the Ultimate Awakening, would not be able to use the Wolf King Fighting Technique even though the Wolf King Bloodline was far more inferior.
Marc Gavin took a deep breath and uttered these broken sentences. "Never... Never, had this happened before... How... How did you... How did you do it, as a non-bloodline...?"
Rocky Ray was also stunned, not only by Qian Jin but also by the ugly bear-like man. Yes! No one had successfully stolen a Unique Bloodline Fighting Technique before! No one had broken the immutable law before!
Bloodline Warriors took their rise and footing in the incomparable Bloodline Power as well as the exclusive Fighting Technique. That was also why the ordinary ones were so jealous of them.
There were few Divine Fighting Techniques, and most of them were Bloodline Techniques.
"I know." As the only man who was still calm and cool, Qian Jin nodded his head while wrapping his Warrior Power around the fingers according to the sequence suggested by the book and flicking them in one way or another. Sounds of firecrackers were heard. "But, I’ve got 80% of it with my Warrior Power. I can make it better, given more time and a quieter place."
