Chapter 91 - An Attack That Shocks the Soul (1/2)

The instant his body sensed that his opponent was in range, Qin Fen took a large step forward. As the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art circulated through his entire body, his muscles and bones cried out. True energy rapidly circulated within his blood, and the thick veins bulged as if they were close to exploding. His veins were just like green snakes spiraling around his arm. The normal-sized arm had expanded to double its original size in an instant to be in a state that was somewhat similar to when Okamoto Takeshi used the Great Monument Breaking Hand. However, there was something different. Qin Fen’s arm was more like an ancient steel whip.

Leafsky’s pupils contracted in an instant, a bit of a cold glow flickered like a star in the night sky.

In the instant Qin Fen charged upon him, everything disappeared in the world that Leafsky’s eyes captured. Nothing at all, except for that firm, fierce, and peerless arm. Leafsky’s sharp senses as a martial artist brought him boundless pressure as they detected danger, and his heart thumped violently at unprecedented speeds. The pressure squeezed him to the point that he felt like his body was about to explode.

Leafsky had no time to think. All that remained in his brain was shock. How could someone take the bitter internal art and display it to this degree? The Arhat Cloud Walk of the fitness exercise was truly akin in might to a legendary Arhat slaying a demon.

Leafsky’s instincts, forged from multiple battles, caused the Heaven Scorcher Halberd within his hands to tremble and the entirety of the large halberd spun rapidly like a top. It was akin to a silver dragon that could smash everything in its path, and it screamed as it sought to bite Qin Fen’s shoulder.

Leafsky had racked his brains to come up with this twisting silver dragon attack, and a hint of a smile could be seen in the corners of his eyes when he unleashed it. For every inch in length, the halberd was stronger, and the twisting killing aura of his attack could inflict heavy injuries before the move itself even lands upon the opponent.

A dark light flashed in Qin Fen’s eyes and he stepped out with a foot to stomp the ring with heavy force. His right arm swung into an explosive uppercut, fiercely smashing behind the halberd-head of the Heaven Scorcher Halberd to land on the body of the halberd itself. A wave of numbness flooded through Leafsky’s arms, as if they had been struck by a heavy rod. His gathered Sole Energy of Time Immemorial scattered in an instant, and the spinning rotation of the Heaven Scorcher Halberd stopped as well, flying from his grasp.

Qin Fen reached out and grabbed the halberd, pulling the halberd into his hands in an instant.

Leafsky was completely stunned in place. Though, surprisingly, he had been defeated before as a tester recently, never had there been a person who was able to jolt the weapon from his hands without using a weapon of their own. Yet this time his weapon had been wrested away.

Qin Fen was already upon Leafsky during his moment of daze.

This was the first time Qin Fen met an opponent who could let his mind completely wander in the middle of a fight. Defeating him with the Shaolin Arhat Fist would only dishonor the Shaolin Arhat Fist. The same Jitae Iron Hammer that the Neo Taekwondo practitioner Park Jong-Hwan used on that day with his legs smashed heavily into Leafsky’s skull.

Puff. Crack. Crack…

The realism of the Sky Battle Net appeared once more in the virtual ring. Leafsky’s skull was smashed into his chest by the enormous force.

As a series of crackles rang out from his skull, cervical bones, and sternum, and the sight before Leafsky turned into a sheet of black. A moment later, he heard the cold robotic synthesized voice sound out, “You have already died in combat. Please use a resurrection stone or wait out the resurrection time….”

The ring, which had just been fiercely and explosively hot, became incomparably quiet once more.

Qin Fen gently warmed up his hands and feet. Indeed, there hadn’t been a mistake with the probability calculations. Leafsky, the Sect Master of the Certain Victory Sect, should be one of the weakest among four-star warriors.

“Excuse me, do you want to immediately start the next test battle?”

The synthesized voice sounded in the air, lacking a trace of human emotion. Qin Fen hadn’t used any energy at all in this fight, so he simply nodded to proceed with the next one.

The scene before his eyes quickly warped and faded away, then warped and shook again, and a moment later, Qin Fen appeared in the middle of a new and different virtual scene.

This is…? Qin Fen eyelids twitched a few times. According to the rules, the second fight had its stage selected to fit the tester. Qin Fen understood this point early on. He just never thought that he would be whisked to the edge of the mouth of an enormous volcano.

He looked at the red lava that boiled and bubbled in the mouth of the volcano, situated not too far away from below his feet. Black smoke slowly rose, and Qin Fen could even feel the simulated high temperature.

Who was his opponent going to be this time? Qin Fen was very curious. Such an environment was quite suited for the Inferno Arts, the Blazing Sutra, and other martial arts where the cultivator’s true energy would possess super high temperatures.

“The system couldn’t have bugged out, right? Or is there something wrong with the current challenger’s head? A cultivator of the bitter internal art and the fitness exercise of fist forms actually wants to start a sect?”

A hoarse voice came piercing through rolling black smoke from the other side of the volcano. The voice seeped with intense arrogance and disdain.

A man with a large and tall build, seemingly around forty years old, walked slowly out of the smoke.

Qin Fen studied his opponent. His square face was quite angular, and his two thick eyebrows were like daggers. His skin was somewhat red as well, as if he had drunk some alcohol.

His hands didn’t possess a weapon of cold steel like Leafsky had. His large hands were quite tender, like the hands of a girl.

Flying Flames. Height of a hundred and eighty-seven centimeters. His arms spanned a hundred and ninety-two centimeters. Uses the neo martial art the Magma Art. Uses the combat technique the Dragon Fist.
