Commanding Wind and Cloud

Nine pieces of [Level 5 Refined Iron] quietly rested on the case as they brilliantly shone under the sun.

These refined irons were enough for the whole day! Qian Jin stepped outside of the smith’s shop.

It was not difficult to find Fabreidis’ place, which was located in the north of Oakland. Though the fairly large wooden house could not be counted magnificent, it was deep and quiet where the number one warrior of Oakland lived!

There were passengers passing by now and then, and no one would pay any attention to the building. Who would have thought that the city’s guardian would live in such an ordinary house rather than those great mansions!

Qian Jin swayed the hanging bell outside the door, and a crisp sound flew to the distance.

It was not long before the door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman about 23 years old came out.

As the woman stood there, her white skin made Qian Jin feel cool and refreshed. She was in a white low-cut dress, from which a slender neck was revealed. Her blonde hair was worn up in a bun, and the lightness of its color made it seem white. The woman looked so pure that Qian JIn thought she must have walked out from a traditional Chinese painting!

His eyelids fluttered. “Is this not the right place?” he thought.

“Qian Jin, come on in!” The woman slowly waved her hand before turning her back; her movements were very soft and seemed very tender.

After receiving the confirmation, Qian Jin trotted as he entered the room. When he caught up with the woman, he walked slowly behind her, observing her pace with curiosity.

The pace was, to be honest, not that gentle as her movements; it showed a trace of laziness, which didn’t really affect her beauty. Instead, it carried a sense of indifference. It was a perfect match with her temperament! It occurred to Qian Jin at the moment when they met, this woman didn’t care about anything as if this world had nothing to do with her!

Through the front hall, they finally stopped at the main hall. Fabreidis was gazing at a sword on the shelf, holding hands behind his back. Acknowledging the door opening, he slowly looked back. The sight of Qian Jin suddenly filled the lonely eyes with a warm smile!

"You finally came! Have a seat, please!" Fabreidis pointed to a soft chair on his right. The action revealed a kind of heroic demeanor a warrior should possess. "I got up early this morning. I thought you would not come today!" he said.

Qian Jin made a bow with his hands folded in front, then he said with a smile, "To be frank, I was afraid to disturb you in case you are not up yet or if you’re practicing your warrior energy."

As they spoke, the icy woman served him with a cup of tea and quietly left the room. The unfailing politeness she carried all the time delivered a message that whatever happened would be none of her business.

Fabreidis laughed. "I like your frankness, and I am also surprised that you are already a Level 6 Warrior!"

Qian Jin inwardly marveled, "He is indeed the guardian of Oakland! Even the principal could not see through me without laying a hand on me! But it only took him a glance! How extraordinary is the guardian of a city!”

"Come! Let me see what you, the strongest young man in the First Grade from Oakland Mage and Warrior Novice Academy, got!"

Fabreidis stood up, gently placed an arm behind his back, and looked at Qian Jin with eyes full of expectations.

The strongest young man of the First Grade? Qian Jin got up with a smile on the face. Even though Fabreidis did not witness the fight that morning, he would also have figured out that Qian Jin was the strongest with the strength of a Level 6 Warrior he carried. There had not been anyone before him who had that ability as a first grade student!

To Qian Jin, facing Fabreidis was like facing a majestic mountain! However, he was also eager to fight this battle and learn some from the elder!

With a sudden and almost unnoticeable movement, Qian Jin took a step like a lightning, exerting all his warrior energy to the peak in an instant! Through his footsteps and his waist twisting, he hid his arm behind like a sword that was ready to strike, releasing a mighty momentum! “Fasten-Assault Chop”, a basic warrior technique was used!

The palm mixed brutal strength with warrior energy and struck at Fabreidis like a flying stick. This strike pierced through the air and made a “Whoosh” cry ! The cloth on the shoulder of Fabreidis slightly moved as if there had been a breeze blowing by!

"Brunt and fierce, simple but practical!" Fabreidis inwardly complimented on Qian Jin’s skills and quickly dodged as he stepped backwards.

At the same time, Qian Jin stepped forward onto the position where his opponent was standing a moment ago; he then gave a high kick and. As his feet struck downward, his heel was like a hammer that smashed directly towards the head of Fabreidis!

After using his hand as a sword, he used his leg once again! Fabreidis could not help but yield more appreciation for the young man! How smooth he changed his attacks! There was almost no flaws, which proved his solid and practical basic skills. Unlike other warriors who chased high-level fighting skills blindly, Qian Jin possessed an unusual basic skills, and it seemed that only top warriors of the third grade in the academy could rival him!

There was no need to consider defense when fighting with a city guardian, so Qian Jin took the initiative of attacking in the spacious room without recess! Excluding the use of Kun-fighting Technique instinctively, he was almost fully stretched! As they accelerated the speed at which they moved, Fabreidis thought of this young man more and more highly!

Endurance! For a warrior, that was a very important quality. Qian Jin had employed dozens of full strikes in a row, and he did not seem tired at all!

And here came another slanting chop! Fabreidis stepped back again and as soon as his soles touched the ground; his legs pushed his body forward in the opposite direction and he rushed towards Qian Jin!

Advice! When on earth could simple dodging be counted as advices? Fabreidis must tell Qian Jin what he had to improve on!

Just before Qian Jin was about to pull back his leg, the guardian had already swept over! He flipped his wrist at his waist and got ready to prick!

All of a sudden, Qian Jin felt a hot fist energy targeted at his chest! Without realizing he was in a battle, he clenched his every finger to form a fist when his hand should be a palm shape in air ready to chop!

This heat around his chest reminded his body of when he was working in front of the forge! Without thinking too much, Qian Jin applied the Forging Breathing Technique, and the hammer skill that he picked up that night was subconsciously unleashed!

Fabreidis smiled and reached out his palm, but shock instant appeared in his eyes! He immediately upgraded the Level 6 warrior energy he was using to Level 7 warrior energy as he launched a fast attack by utilizing the thrusting force from his back!

Bang!

After getting hit by the Qian Jin’s iron-hammer like fist, Fabreidis’s shoulder slightly shivered! He directed his strength and punched Qian Jin right in his underbelly! The young man was sent into the air and hit the shelf in the room; the self was immediately smashed into pieces in the blink of an eye!

"What..." Fabreidis looked at Qian Jin in a complete daze! He could not believe that he got hit first! If he wasn’t a much stronger warrior than Qian Jin, he could not even have the chance to complete his final strike! He would have lost this battle if they were on the same level.
