Retaining these finished potions? Yi was somewhat surprised; the value of these finished potions was in no way inferior to the metals from before.

In fact, in a certain sense, their value surpassed that of the metals.

A warrior could continue fighting without equipment, but if injured, potions were necessary.

Good potions not only saved lives but also eased the lingering weakness after recovery.

For a warrior, injuries were, to some extent, a great enemy! Overly severe injuries, even if healed, might leave hidden dangers, causing a reduction in strength, or rendering full recovery impossible for a lifetime.

A good potion was equivalent to an extra life for a warrior, safeguarding their entire future! Yi could not comprehend why Gan Jin would abandon these.

Instead, he asked for materials for potions.

Did he perhaps know an Alchemist Master? “Stop! Stop fighting! Where did you learn that bizarre Fighting Skill of yours?” “Don’t follow me! I’m not fighting you either! You fat lout, how did you become so fierce overnight?” A voice filled with extreme annoyance and agitation rapidly approached from a distance.

Two of the horse bandits who had previously fought Gan Jin were sprinting away at top speed, constantly glancing back and shouting continuous roars behind them.

Te Xiao Fei followed close behind the two, grinning widely, panting heavily as he ran.

However, the sounds escaping his mouth were not those of annoyance or roaring, but rather brimming with happiness and delight: “Don’t be like that! Let’s play again, we always play like this, right?” “Play your sister! Damn it, your stomach wasn't this weird before!” “Exactly! What’s with this strange belly? The useless fat before only added a little damage resistance, but today it’s so bizarre! Not only can it become soft, but it can also stick to punches and kicks! I won’t fight you until I figure out a way to counter it.” “Come on, come on…” Te Xiao Fei followed behind with a silly grin, chasing them relentlessly.

When he saw Gan Jin, his eyes instantly lit up: “Kid! They won’t play with me, why don’t you play with me?” Gan Jin looked at the approaching Te Xiao Fei, and then at the two horse bandits who had stopped running, finally understanding the reason for the situation.

Although this fatty couldn't fully condense his Battle Sequences into Battle Seals, within his Golden Battle Heart, he could temporarily condense and utilize Fighting Skills with incredible speed.

If fighting one-on-one, while others used Battle Seals to launch attacks, using only condensed Battle Sequences through his Dou Qi wasn't entirely impossible.

“Newcomer kid, is it true you taught him this bizarre Fighting Skill?” The two horse bandits, no longer running, looked at Gan Jin with extreme gloom and curiosity.

The almost equally strong fatty they had fought before had suddenly become so troublesome and headache-inducing after just one night.

“How about it, kid? Shall we spar again?” Te Xiao Fei pushed aside his two companions and looked at Gan Jin with excitement: “Last time, you took on our whole group by yourself; I still remember that clearly.” The two horse bandits nodded repeatedly.

They could never forget what happened last time—a whole group fighting against such a young warrior, and he swept them all away without even having condensed a Golden Battle Heart, and there were several Bloodline Warriors among them! Gan Jin had just acquired a large batch of excellent materials, and his mood was excellent, so he nodded repeatedly: “Alright then, let’s play a little.” Te Xiao Fei’s excitement added a few more smiles to his face.

Although it was just one extra Fighting Skill, its function was truly potent, capable of granting him countless variations in combat: “Everyone stand back! Stand back! Today…” “No need to stand back, it will be over soon, very soon,” Gan Jin said with a smile while gathering the various medicinal materials Yi had tossed out, looking up casually: “Very soon, there’s no need to make such a fuss.” Soon? The excited folds of flesh on Te Xiao Fei’s face twisted in displeasure.

This kid must not have truly practiced this skill because of his build, and he had no idea of its practical application in battle.

The two horse bandits chuckled and retreated to the sides.

Since Te Xiao Fei acquired this Fighting Skill, his Dou Qi strength hadn't increased much, but his actual combat capability had skyrocketed.

Gan Jin would soon realize he spoke too boldly.

“Come on, kid…” Te Xiao Fei’s heroic roar had not quite fully burst from his throat when Gan Jin, who was bent over picking up materials, suddenly stomped his foot.

His ankle flickered slightly, his knee bent in a small arc for a launch, and he abruptly shot forward, appearing directly in front of Te Xiao Fei.

This movement lacked the fierce impact of his fight against the group of bandits before; it possessed more ease and casualness, as if the earth itself was mastered by him, obeying his summons to deliver him before Te Xiao Fei, rather than him charging over himself.

The distance of over ten meters was instantly nullified by Gan Jin’s slight shift, faster than the blink of an eye.

The two horse bandits hadn't even fully prepared their thoughts before Gan Jin was already there! Te Xiao Fei felt the words he was about to shout become like a piece of fat spat from his mouth, which someone then took a stick and forcefully shoved back down his throat before he could expel it completely.

Constricted! Utterly suffocated! The valor swelling in his chest was forcibly crushed back into his stomach by a single movement that carried the momentum forward, like having instantly consumed a hundred bowls of rice, leaving him bloated and unable to move.

While Te Xiao Fei was still reeling, Gan Jin’s palm, moving like a battle saber and accompanied by a piercing sound of tearing Dou Qi, stabbed towards Te Xiao Fei’s lower abdomen in a flash of lightning and flint! Te Xiao Fei’s Golden Battle Heart spun almost instinctively, controlling the Dou Qi inside his body to instantly arrange itself into strange sequences.

The thick, plump fat on his stomach began to vibrate violently at high speed, as if a calm lake had suddenly been struck by dozens of stones, causing ripples to emanate from different points.

Good kid, quite fast! But too bad! You aimed at the wrong spot! Te Xiao Fei’s technique instantly solidified.

He allowed Gan Jin’s stabbing palm to sink into the thick expanse of his belly.

Gan Jin immediately felt his palm go from sinking into water, then quickly into oil, then like cotton batting, and finally into hard earth… The surrounding soft fat instantly began to condense and contract, spinning like real quicksand, absorbing and squeezing the sharp palm, preventing it from advancing even a fraction further.

“Kid, just let me…” Te Xiao Fei watched excitedly as Gan Jin’s hand was immobilized.

He raised both arms, brought them together, and brought them down heavily towards Gan Jin’s shoulder: “Fall…” A faint, cool smile played on Gan Jin’s lips.

With a slight shrug, he naturally thrust his entire arm forward again, the Battle Sequences of Frostfall and Splitting Gold Strikes erupting consecutively along his arm.

Layers of knife-blade-like Dou Qi surged through Gan Jin’s arm into Te Xiao Fei’s stomach.

In an instant, the obese belly, which had been like cast copper cooling into a solid block, first felt an icy coldness, as if the sturdy exterior had been frozen even harder.

Then, the Splitting Gold Strikes rapidly followed, beginning a process of rapid collapse… collapse… and further collapse! In the blink of an eye, that steel-like belly was shattered like tofu struck hard by a club! The fat reverted to its original state.

Te Xiao Fei’s two large feet rapidly staggered backward, clutching his stomach with both hands, his face contorted in pain as he hunched over on the ground.

“What was that? It hurts like hell!” Te Xiao Fei was sweating cold sweat from the pain.

The Quicksand Skill hadn't fully formed into a Battle Seal, so its power hadn't reached its true peak, and it was severely lacking in adaptability.

Suddenly encountering Gan Jin’s successive use of two Saint-level Fighting Skills—and techniques that specifically counteracted the Quicksand Skill—resulted in an instant defeat.

“The combined use of two Fighting Skills,” Gan Jin told Te Xiao Fei.

“If this were a life-or-death struggle, it would be a combination of three Fighting Skills.

Your stomach is already shattered right now; your intestines are spilling out.” The two horse bandits watching on the side bent over laughing.

If they let that damned fatty get cocky again, learning that bizarre skill compensated for many of his combat shortcomings.

Now he’s met someone formidable! Te Xiao Fei grinned, shaking his head: “It seems I must master my Battle Seals before I can fight you.” “Even if you master them, you still won’t beat me,” Gan Jin said with a flat smile.

Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

In just one night, this young man’s self-confidence had grown stronger, not into arrogance, but into a level of self-assurance that allowed his true capabilities to greatly exceed expectations.

Te Xiao Fei looked at Gan Jin’s expression, considered it seriously for a moment, and nodded lightly.

It seemed he really couldn't defeat Gan Jin.

On the surface, this kid looked less capable than many others, but when he actually fought, the destructive power he could unleash was far beyond what someone of Te Xiao Fei’s level could predict.

Envy! For the first time, Te Xiao Fei felt the urge to envy another person, especially since this young man was only an Ordinary Warrior.

An Ordinary Warrior… Te Xiao Fei recalled Gan Jin’s status and suddenly sucked in a cold breath.

This kid was an Ordinary Warrior! Holy crap! He, an Ordinary Warrior, not only took down Bloodline Warriors that day but also defeated so many people simultaneously! This kid… this kid… A chilling sensation suddenly shot up Te Xiao Fei’s back, running straight to the back of his head, causing his skin to erupt in goosebumps.

This kid might truly, truly be capable of challenging those Bloodline Warriors standing at the very pinnacle in the future! “You two!” Te Xiao Fei suddenly turned towards the other two horse bandits: “Hand over your Fighting Skills!” The two horse bandits stared blankly at Te Xiao Fei.

What was wrong with this fatty today? His physique wasn't suited for learning the group’s Fighting Skills, otherwise, they would have taught him long ago.

Why today…? “This kid…” Te Xiao Fei pointed at Gan Jin with excitement: “This kid is an Ordinary Warrior! An Ordinary Warrior!” The two stunned horse bandits’ eyes widened.

The shock of Gan Jin defeating their entire group that day had been so immense that everyone focused only on the fact that a group had lost to one young warrior, completely overlooking a crucial point: this young warrior was an Ordinary Warrior! Ordinary Warrior! Most Ordinary Warriors harbored a deep desire to defeat Bloodline Warriors and stand at the true apex of the Warrior path.

This wish, most of the time, was buried like a pearl covered in dust, gradually forgotten by the Ordinary Warriors as time flowed by.
