Chapter 54 - Gun Kings Instruction (1/2)

In the end, Butcher and Gun King happily drew the longest sticks, winning without a hitch.

Gun King owed Butcher a life, so he could only give Qin Fen’s first experience to him.

“Come, kid! Let’s get to know each other!”

Butcher took off his military uniform, revealing ten scars, criss-crossed, on his upper body. Each scar was shocking to the heart and eyes.

Naturally, getting to know the teacher who would teach him how to kill people meant that they were going to spar.

Qin Fen was unafraid and filled with battle intent these days. He immediately entered the combat ring when he heard that someone wanted to fight.

The sole of his foot had just barely stepped inside the combat ring when an after shadow was already rushing upon him. The fierce and cold aura immediately caused all the hairs on Qin Fen’s back to stand on end.

Three-star!

This was the first time Qin Fen met an opponent on the same level that could make his hair stand on end. He strode half a step forward as he unleashed a Flowing Whipstrike that was so fierce to the point of exploding.

A single move could reveal whether or not the practitioner was skilled. Though the other soldiers weren’t the strongest in terms of combat skills, they were all people who had been through life or death situations. Their eyes all instantly lit up, for Qin Fen had chosen the most correct move. However….

Qin Fen had observed thousands upon thousands of fights, but Butcher had personally slaughtered thousands upon thousands of opponents. There was a gigantic disparity between their experience levels.

A knife! Qin Fen’s extraordinary martial senses suddenly produced this incomparably ridiculous thought the moment he struck with his whipstrike! Butcher, whose upper body was bare and lacked a place to conceal a blade, actually had a knife in his hand!

The whipstrike stopped just before Butcher, and the gale brought on by Qin Fen’s fist caused Butcher’s crew cut to sway slightly. One could see just how ferocious that fist was.

However, no matter how fierce the fist, it was useless if one couldn’t land a hit! Within Butcher’s hand was an ice-cold knife, appearing who knows when. And the knife was coldly pressed against Qin Fen’s throat.

Fast! A speed that was suffocating!

The Butcher, whose upper body was bare and had no place to conceal a blade, had actually conjured out a knife in the middle of Qin Fen’s move.

Qin Fen’s martial senses were extraordinary, but he was still slow by half a beat when detecting the knife. He also wasn’t fully proficient in combining the Dragon Guard with the Flowing Whipstrike yet. He still had been a bit slow when using them, so he could only stare at the blade pressed against his throat with eyes wide open.

A proud smile was etched in Butcher’s face, and a beat of sweat trickled down from the back of his neck. In his mind, he was glad that he found out about Qin Fen’s most proficient move from Squad Leader Hao. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to subdue this recruit in a single move.

“You are already dead.” Butcher withdrew his knife in a very cool action as he stood up straight.

A wrinkle of suspicion flashed on Qin Fen’s forehead. He had a very strange feeling about the fight just now. It seemed like he had fallen into a trap prepared beforehand by the opponent from the very beginning.

“Your fighting style is very straightforward and direct. This is good.” Butcher picked up his military uniform from the ground, “However, it is not enough. You just want to win, but you don’t want to kill. On the battlefield, only killing the enemy counts as a win. Say that I didn’t use my methods and you were able to beat me at three-star strength just now. On the battlefield, when faced with a group of enemies, my chances of living are greater than yours. This is because I will use the least strength as possible to kill the greatest number of people. You’re unable to do this! But you can do one versus ones.”

Qin Fen didn’t retort. The thousands of fights he had seen were all one versus ones. He had grasped this late. This was the key element in his decision to participate in the three-star War God Arena. There, people fought one versus ones, one versus twos, and even chaotic battle situations.

“All right, all right! It’s my turn!” Gun King carried a black case that was a man in length and half a man in width and tossed it down before Qin Fen. “Kid, choose what you like from inside here.”

The case opened up, and Qin Fen’s heart involuntarily pounded faster.
