Astral Apostle - Chapter 211
Chapter 211 – Historical Meaning and Promise (2)
“If we use this ability to hunt, it will be very convenient. We have always lacked the means to control mutant beasts, nor are we good at long-range attacks. If every team has a special hunter like you, fewer hunters will die every year.
“Perhaps in the future, among the hunters, a special hunter like you who takes the V3 Potion will be the backbone.”
As he spoke, Keriber felt a little regretful.
“Unfortunately, I’ve already undergone five enhancements. If I continue, I’m afraid I’m more likely to die than survive. Looks like I won’t have the chance to use the V3 Potion. The future belongs to you young people.”
“Don’t be discouraged. It’s only because I started off stronger. Even if others take the V3 Potion, they might not be able to defeat you.”
Zhou Jing spoke the truth.
Bill would definitely not be as concerned about making the perfect and powerful potion for other hunters as he was for himself. Moreover, others did not have the initial attributes of an Astral Apostle.
Keriber thought that Zhou Jing was only comforting him and ignored him. He looked at Raging Inferno on Zhou Jing’s waist and changed the topic.
“Is this weapon a Miraculous Armament? A gift from the King?”
With his status, he had naturally heard of the workshop’s new technology.
…
“Yes, this saber is called Raging Inferno.”
Zhou Jing pulled out his saber and briefly introduced it to Keriber.
Raging Inferno was made from special ore materials and mutant beast materials. They would continuously heat up during the collision of weapons until the fire core in the hilt was ignited. Then, the flame wave could be slashed out.
Originally, he needed to continuously clash against the other weapon to heat up the metal, so it could not be used immediately in battle.
However, after Zhou Jing obtained the [Lightning Release] characteristic, he realized he could directly infuse lightning into the blade to fill the “heat tank” for the metal. This way, the special effect of the Raging Inferno could be freely controlled. He could slash out the flame wave at any time, and its practicality would be greatly increased, making it suitable for his combat strategy. Keriber clicked his tongue in admiration, “What a good weapon.”
“The King didn’t give any to you?” Zhou Jing was puzzled.
“I refused. I’m too old to use fancy weapons.” Keriber shook his head, “And they haven’t made a hammer that suits me.”
“That’s the main reason right …” Zhou Jing grumbled to himself.
The two of them chatted for a while before walking up the platform to meet the king.
Becky glanced worriedly at Keriber injuries.
“Are you alright? Guards, bring the medicine over.”
“It’s a small injury. Your Majesty, don’t worry about it.” Keriber took the medicine and casually wiped it on the wound. He then wrapped it with a bandage and treated the injury himself.
Only then did Becky feel relieved. He looked at Zhou Jing with an approving expression. “Jace, you exceeded my expectations. I didn’t expect you to force our Chief Hunter to this extent.”
“I relied on the convenience of my weapon to fight the commander… I haven’t thanked Your Majesty for your reward. It’s very convenient to use the Raging Inferno.” Zhou Jing didn’t want to continue this topic. It was not appropriate to be humble or proud, so he simply changed the topic.
Hearing this, Becky laughed happily.
“A powerful weapon is meant for the strong. I’m glad to see the Raging Inferno in your hands. This proves that I made the right decision to give you the Miraculous Armament.”
Becky paused for a bit before he continued,
“Of course, you don’t have to be humble. We’ve all seen your performance. The V3 Potion gave you the power to release lightning, and it was quite stunning. It suits you… As the first hunter with special abilities, your success has great meaning! It will definitely be recorded in history!”
Compared to Zhou Jing’s strength, Becky valued the success of the new potion more.
Everyone nodded. No one questioned it.
Jace’s own strength was another matter. More importantly, he was the first hunter in history to obtain a special ability, proving the feasibility of the V3 Potion. His existence meant that they had officially unveiled the new Mutant Blood Warrior. It was a milestone in history.
After watching Zhou Jing’s battle, the higher-tiered Imperial Hunters could not help but have the desire to use the V3 Potion.
“It’s mainly thanks to Master Bill,” Zhou Jing deliberately spoke out.
“Well, Master Bill’s contribution is irreplaceable!” Becky waved his hand and smiled at Bill. He laughed and said, “It’s the Empire’s luck and the hunters’ luck to have a genius like Master Bill!”
Looking at the two talents in front of him who were extremely outstanding in their respective fields, Becky felt high-spirited. He felt satisfied as if all the heroes in the world had joined him as if he was personally witnessing the Empire walking towards a new
peak.
“Unexpectedly, both of them are me…” Zhou Jing smiled without saying anything.
Becky was happy for a while before he calmed down. Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled, “Irene, you saw Jace’s strength too. Do you think he can defeat you?”
Everyone looked over curiously.
Irene hesitated, then said, “Maybe it will be a draw.”
“If you have time, you can spar,” Becky said with a chuckle. “Jace, what do you think?”
“It doesn’t matter to me,” Zhou Jing replied casually. It was a fight anyway, so it didn’t matter who came.
“We’ll talk about it later.” Irene looked away and subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear shyly.
“Cousin, I created an opportunity for you, but you’re really useless…”
Becky cursed inwardly but kept his expression neutral. He turned to Keriber and changed the subject to avoid any embarrassment, “What do you think of Jace’s strength?”
“Very strong, not much weaker than someone at the Fifth Enhancement.”
