Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 537: Showcase of Strength

It won’t surprise anyone if an ant lifted a grain of rice, but everyone would be surprised if an ant lifted an egg.

The surprise would come if something extraordinary took place.

The speed Qian Jin was absorbing the warrior energy attracted a lot of attention, but another powerful aura of another Energy Core appeared.

“This…”

The two leaders of the Mamen Clan shifted their attention onto Cech Flet. The absorption speed that was not inferior to Jiliu Feijing appeared on this ugly and ordinary demon warrior.

Before the two leaders could calm down, another powerful sensation arose… Duren Burg.

Although the absorption speed was a lot weaker compared with the previous two, it was still beyond the understanding of the Mamen Demons.

Boom! Fanta Kunge also showcased his toughness. Despite the fact his absorption speed was the slowest, it was shocking for another reason. Although it started off slow, it felt like the absorption speed was increasing every second. The speed was far superior to some bloodline demon warriors who had Golden Warrior Hearts.

“How? A demon with just a Warrior Heart is able to suck in warrior energy at this speed? Can his body take it?”

As all the demons were wondering about that question, the Gold Essence Warrior Power showcased its power.

To Fanta Kunge, he was a completely different person with this Warrior Heart.

After he got the Warrior Heart, he felt like his reservoirs and energy connections in his body had turned into metal. His absorption speed of the warrior energy skyrocketed and he felt like his absorption speed was in another realm.

Qian Jin vaguely sensed Fanta Kunge’s absorption speed and he lightly nodded his head. “That is right! This is the true power of Gold Essence Warrior Power! On top of solidifying the cultivator’s body, it would also strengthen the reservoirs and the energy connections every second.

The reservoirs and energy connections of a warrior were the key to creating explosive force. Numerous pharmacists and mystic pharmacists had been trying to come up with potions that could strengthen warriors’ reservoirs and energy connections, and numerous academics had been trying to come up with secret techniques that could achieve the same effect.

Before Qian Jin left the Ancient Desert Sea, he made some diluted [Volcano Potions] for everyone. With the cruelness of the Ancient Desert Sea and the power of Gold Essence Warrior Power, Fanta Kunge finally had his moments.

The two leaders of the Mamen Clan looked at each other in unison and thought, “This Lucifer Lucy is far more powerful than the how she is described in the rumors. Although none of her retinues are eye-catching, they would bring demons shock when they unleash their powers.”

A lot of goosebumps appeared on their skin as they looked at Lucifer Lucy.

“What is that? Strange Magic Conductors? Gravity? So powerful… Is her highness sitting on a strange Magic Conductor and training? Although her absorption speed isn’t as fast as her retinues, but…. She was under an insane gravity at the moment! How hard would that be? All the rotation speed of the warrior power and the flexibility of the energy connections would be all suppressed, but she is still absorbing…”

Both leaders were experienced fighters and they instantly recalled the special Kun-Fighting Technique of the Qian Family, that was a special technique that could control gravity.

Other than the special bloodline power, this technique brought the Qian Family a lot of advantage in battles and made other families envious of them.

Young and talented bloodline warriors of Qian Family would all enter a special gravity field to train.

Those fields weren’t created by Magic Conductors, but rather the Kun-Fighting Techniques of elder warriors of the Qian Family.

The young and talented warriors who went through that kind of cruel and unbearable training would typically gain unimaginable strength.

The Mamen Clan was envious of that method of training and that was all that they could do. Only the Qian Family knew the Kun-Fighting Technique and others couldn’t copy it.

“Now…” the two leaders of the Mamen Clan were swallowing their drools as they open their eyes widely. Their eyes were filled with greed and hope.

“If… if… the Mamen Clan could have one or two Magic Conductors like this, then how powerful can the young and talented Mamen Demon Warriors get? They might become the most powerful bloodline warriors right below the ultimate bloodline warriors!”

The two Mamen Demons nodded and thought, “This item shouldn’t be from the Zence Empire. The scouts we have in the Human Territory didn’t report anything like this. This might be one of the core secrets of the Lucifer Clan and the scouts we have in the Lucifer Clan couldn’t access this kind of information. However, if this is one of the core secrets of the Lucifer Clan, the Demon King, and other princes should be using this Magic Conductor first and not this Tenth Princess. If this item is so common, our scouts should be able to know about it. Since the Tenth Princess is using something like this and our scouts didn’t report on anything like this, it means that such Magic Conductor is not from Lucifer Clan but rather…”

The two Mamen Demons looked at Qian Jin in surprise, suspicions, and doubtfulness. “It could be potentially made by this young Forge Grandmaster Jiliu Feijing. Box Hort said that he knows runes. It seems like that is the truth,” they thought.

“But shouldn’t this kind of Magic Conductor be a big secret?” The two sly leaders of the Mamen Clan exchanged looks and thought, “Could it be that this princess is showing us on purpose? What does she want? Could it be that she is showing us her power and wants us to stay loyal to her in the battle of the throne?”

“Wait!” The two sly demons’ eyes shone as they looked at Saber Philip who looked lonely, resentful, and murderous on the side of the yard. “Could it be that she killed Saber Nisfur and his son… to get us to come here?” they thought.

These two leaders of the Mamen Clan connected all that had happened in the last while and they realized that everything was probably planned.

Killing Saber Nisfur and his son, betting with Boblonso, absorbing energy in front of their eyes, and showing them the Magic Conductor… All of these were planned ahead of time.

Showcase of strength!

“All that Lucifer Lucy wants is to showcase her strength! Saber Nisfur and his son died with no purpose.” Saber Sage sighed in his mind. “If Your Highness want to make us come here, can’t you use a more moderate method? Why so violent and bloody?” he thought.

“Let it go… it already happened.” Box Lee felt a little empathy for the Saber Family. He continued in a quiet tone, “What should we do?”

“What should we do?” Saber Sage looked at Box Lee powerlessly and said, “This princess has a lot more trump cards that I thought. Just the retinues under her command are valuable enough. I suspect that Jiliu Feijing is also a Mystic Pharma…”

Box Lee nodded and agreed. “Since he is the junior fellow apprentice of that Qian Jin, it is very likely. I heard that Qian Jin in the Zence Empire is really good at Mystic Pharmaceuticals.”

Silence…

The two leaders of the Mamen Clan looked at each other and thought, “The value is too much… it is worthy for the gamble…”

“Old rules…” Saber Sage opened his mouth, “The Mamen Clan is so influential today because we never bet everything on one horse!”

Box Lee nodded. There were two bloodline families in the Mamen Clan, and the two families would support the two candidates who were most likely to become the new Demon King.

In the end, didn’t matter which one of them became the ruler of the land, the family that bet on the right candidate only needed to come out and state that the other family was acting as the spy and did a lot of secret work.

“Ok.” Box Lee peeked at Lucifer Lucy in secret and said, “Although this princess has the strength, her influence is too small. How about we Box Family take the most risk and help the Tenth Princess?”

Saber Sage only sneered as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, he didn’t express his opinion. Even though Box Lee’s face was very thick and even Qian Zhanxuan couldn’t punch through it, he felt a little embarrassed under the cold stare of Saber Sage.

“Ok… The existence of Jiliu Feijing brought a lot of uncertainty to Lucifer Lucy’s future.” Box Lee admitted the truth and asked, “What do you think?”

“We can both support her. As long as the other elders don’t…” Saber Sage said after a while of thinking, “Even if Lucifer Lucy failed to win over the throne, we will just get fired by the Elder Council and lose the status as the leaders of the Mamen Clan.

The fire in the furnace was still lively and crackling noises of the flame would sound infrequently. However, it felt like this crackling noise of the flame was enough to get rid of the chilliness of the night.
