Chapter 22 - God Level Expert of Two-Stars (2/2)

Obviously he had to use Striking the Tiger’s Momentum against the Tiger Form!

Boom!

The earth trembled for a moment and both sides were pushed back half a step. A wisp of excitement streaked through Glowing Child’s eyes. With a slight bend of his right knee, his body swiveled to the right. At the same time, his right shoulder faced forward and swayed downward. Then his left arm was launched from his shoulder. A bear-like roar came from his mouth as he struck with the Five Animals Art’s Bear Slap!

Qin Fen took a half step once again. His waist swiveled, bringing his arm along, completely infused with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. His lashing arms recreated the ferocious might of ancient steel whips. It was the Flowing Whipstrike!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Bear Slaps collided explosively with Whipstrikes seven times one after another. The two men’s feet were embedded deep within the ring in this intense battle that was unparalleled in fierceness and staunchness. The audience watched stunned. Everyone was a two-star martial artist. Weren’t these two being too ferocious?

The eight strike! Qin Fen seized half a step forward, his arm expanded a bit larger to be akin to an enormous hammer that smashed against Glowing Child of the Wind’s Bear Slap. Sparks and electricity flared as their arms crossed and collided.

Boom!

Glowing Child of the Wind snorted. He was unable to act like he did during the first seven strikes, not moving at all. His feet continued to retreat back without end, pulling back several dozen steps in a single breath before he could stand firm. Every step he took left behind a deep mark in the ground. By the time his body stopped moving, he discovered that he had already stood outside of the ring.

This fight was different from the others. Glowing Child of the Wind had chosen ring mode. The two fought within an ancient stone-slab ring.

Glowing Child of the Wind looked at the earth beneath his feet. He raised his head and said very calmly, “I lost. Thank-you.”

Everyone was flabbergasted once more. He lost. Why did he express his thanks to the winner? An expert didn’t need to act this way, right?

“Thirty-Six Hours had already beaten me with the first strike. The remaining exchanges of blows were to help me understand through experience. That’s all,” Glowing Child of the Wind suddenly shouted, causing everyone to be shocked once more.

He was able to defeat Glowing Child of the Wind, a top one-hundred powerful expert at the two-star level, with a single strike? How was this possible? Even the number one two-star in the Sky Martial Battle Network couldn’t have defeated Glowing Child of the Wind in a single strike.

Qin Fen quickly transfered the thousand or so dollars into his bank account. As for why he struck more than seven times, it was because he wanted some more material to write a draft for the newspaper a little later. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to write a draft for the special column where the fight concluded with a single strike. This was the only reason he dragged it on.

“Are you in dire need of money?” Glowing Child of the Wind returned back to the ring, whispering his curiosities.

“Yes,” Qin Fen answered honestly. He wasn’t ashamed of being poor. What was truly shameful was not putting forth all effort to generate wealth when being poor. This was his consistent philosophy.

“Then why don’t you fight in the Arena?” Glowing Child of the Wind said, “You can reap several nice items if you obtain the title War God. Though these are just virtual goods, they can still sell for good prices.”

“War God?” Qin Fen only knew matters pertaining to the free area. He didn’t quite understand the membership area. He had never heard of fighting for the title of War God.

“It’s an event in the membership area. The rate of return should be very high for you.” Glowing Child of the Wind gave a general introduction, “There are generous items as rewards if you win.”

Items. Qin Fen’s eyes lit up. These virtual items were completely different in might compared to items in the real world. The existence of these virtual items were for the sake of having people in the battle network become familiar with the usage of them. Otherwise, one would find it hard to train with two thunderous swords in reality. One mistake in controlling the flying swords would run the risk of a sword piercing one’s own body. Such a way to die would cause even the devil to laugh when arriving in hell.
