Chapter 6 - Running After a Win? (2/2)

There was only one thing interesting about the post; practically everyone who saw this post would make a reply post. The reply rate was over ninety percent.

Of course, the majority of people harbored a high degree of suspicion over the validity of the recording.

“Is it real? Is it fake? This looks pre-rehearsed no matter how I look at it. Otherwise, how can the two sides be this well coordinated?”

“Isn’t this the fitness exercise of fist forms? There should be a limit to faking something, right?”

“Can it be a three-star warrior smurfing in this fight?” This argument received the approval a sizable portion of people. In fact, there really were people who would suppress their strength and participate in fights against people of lower strength. But only a very few number of people would do this. After all, everyone came to the Sky Martial Battle Network to raise their own strength and increase their combat experience. They didn’t come here to bully others.

Soon this post was linked to the two-star warrior forums. The post earned quite a lot of clicks in this place. It was just that people were extremely suspicious of its validity. It was practically impossible for an instant kill to happen in a fight between two-star warriors. Instant kills in two consecutive fights clearly showed that the post was phony click-bait.

Qin Fen opened the dilapidated desktop computer that he had bought second hand. After he quickly wrote three battle commentaries, he discovered that he didn’t possess the sleepiness he normally would have in the past. He should have been tired, needing to rest. Instead, he went for a stroll on the forums in a bit of boredom, a rare action from him.

Soon he saw the post with him in question and carefully read through all the replies. He also somewhat agreed with the posts that stated their suspicions. Even now, he was unable to understand just how he was able to unleash those strikes with such flowing nature. Though he was confident in beating Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers, it should have taken him at least five hundred moves to eek out a victory.

Qin Fen read around two hundred posts when a jolt went through his mind.

“Outstanding combat awareness! Every moment of time is grasped with the same accuracy as a computer, putting the fist form in skillful use. This is practically the limit of what a two-star warrior can do! If this person is a two-star warrior, then his future prospects are limitless! I’m very interested in fighting with you.”

He looked at the poster’s ID, Glowing Child of the Wind. Qin Fen felt the name to be a bit familiar. It seemed that he had heard it somewhere before.

Glowing Child of the Wind! That’s right! Qin Fen smacked his palms together in a clap. This was one of the top hundred expert two-star warriors on the battle record rankings!

Was it really him? Qin Fen was a bit excited. If he could fight hand-to-hand against one of the top hundred expert two-star warriors, it would certainly be super exciting!

In any case, he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. Qin Fen simply rummaged through and picked out a few fight recordings of the expert two-star warriors to watch.

Wondrous battles between neo martial arts and neo martial arts. Intense fights between paleo martial arts and paleo martial arts. Gorgeous and fierce combat between paleo martial arts and neo martial arts. Round after round of what should have been blood-boiling scenes of intense combat were merely a bit tedious in Qin Fen’s eyes. Aside from a few people’s fights, Qin Fen was able to know the conclusion of victory and defeat within the first few seconds of clicking open a recording. He would fast forward to the end and see that the outcome fell exactly in line with his predictions.

After correctly guessing the ending of over a hundred of fights in a row, Qin Fen felt puzzled once more. Anyone with a bit of a brain would have a great understanding of his own strength.

Though he never made a move, Qin Fen knew that he wouldn’t be weak amongst the two-star warriors ranked in the middle. Even against the top hundred two-star warriors of the Sky Martial Battle Network, he felt that he was on their level of strength; he could fight with them. As for who would win and who would lose, he would only know after exchanging blows. He couldn’t say for sure because he had nothing to base off of.

But for some unknown reason, as he watched these recordings, the two-star warriors ranked top one hundred in battle records of the Sky Martial Battle Network didn’t seem as amazing as they did in the past.
