Chapter 5 - A Miracle Created from Exercise and Hard Work (2/2)
Battle Record: One win, zero losses
Strength: Two-star
Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers didn’t quite know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Qin Fen’s data. An internal art of bitter work plus a fitness exercise fist form were actually able to defeat the neo martial artist Regal Propria. And it was an instant kill. This was truly a bit irrational.
Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers cleared his mind, then stared at Qin Fen in seriousness. Since he had yelled those words just now, he didn’t want to lose in front of the hundreds of familiar faces. That would be even more shameful than what happened to Regal Propria.
The ten-second countdown slowly sounded off at the eve of the battle. Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers looked at Qin Fen’s calm eyes, and he suddenly felt a sort of indescribably surprise in his chest. He had seen that gaze before. It was the same gaze that his martial arts teacher in real life had when they sparred!
Confidence! Tranquility!
“RAAAHHH!”
Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers hesitated a moment before the countdown could finish. Then he roared in conviction. He swallowed a Berserker Pill, which rapidly increased one’s attack power by ten percent, and a Armor Pill, which increased one’s defense power by ten percent for a fixed amount of time, together into his stomach!
The two pills entered the stomach, causing the start of a gradual transformation of Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers’s body. His muscles, extremely bright from his cultivation in the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians, spasmed slightly. Externally, He looked akin to a polished boulder. Just one look and anyone would be able to sense the explosive power contained within and just how terrifying it was.
A few of the spectators were totally stunned. Wasn’t he being way too cautious as well? He actually ate the Berserker Pill and the Armor Pill together? This wasn’t a major qualifier tournament organized by the Sky Martial Battle Network. There wasn’t a need to be so desperate, right?
The pupils of Qin Fen’s eyes instantly contracted to the size of needle-tips. His usual heart of being able maintain tranquility in the face of practically anything was completely shattered in an instant.
Far too wasteful! Even if the prices of virtual items were a bit cheaper, it was still far too wasteful! This guy was being even more wasteful than Regal Propria!
Qin Fen’s heart ached thinking about the amount of money, and Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers keenly discovered that his opponent’s mind wasn’t completely on the fight during this time. His powerful and muscular thighs unleashed a ferocious counterforce, causing the virtual stone slates beneath his feat to instantly fissure. He was already dashing out like lightning.
Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers rushed upon Qin Fe, unleashing the most fierce and explosive move of the Fist That Cleaves Rock and Shatters Jade—Shattering the Earth and Shocking the Heavens. The air simply rang with loud explosions akin to the sound of a car’s tires bursting.
Qin Fen’s eyes shone bright. Such ferocious and explosive fists were already the limit of a two-star warrior. Practically all evasive paths were completely cut off!
The arhat sleeps. He is covered with the Dragon Guard. He strikes with his heart. His shoulders thrust. And his fists ram out!
A fist chant of the Shaolin Arhat Fist flashed through the sea of Qin Fen’s mind, and his body flowingly laid back, like a sleeping arhat. He suddenly swiveled with his ankle, bringing his waist to bend, subtly drawing his body into the Dragon Guard!
Shattering the Earth and Shocking the Heavens was a move that sealed off every evasive movement, but Qin Fen actually found a way to dodge through force!
With a shake of both arms, Qin Fen unleashed two fists the instant he dodged with the Dragon Guard. He struck out with the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Twisting Double Mountain Thrust! His fists explosively rammed into Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers’s underbelly!
