Chapter 97 - One Palm Four Styles! (1/2)

Bang!

Before Iron Hand could even finish speaking, Qin Fen had flung his arm, and the gun resonated in the air. The gunshot simply interrupted Iron Hand’s words, and the bullet shattered the red apple into pieces, telling everyone that the curve shot really wasn’t difficult.

I t was crisp! The shot was incomparably crisp! Iron Hand stared stunned at Qin Fen. The shot just now was made without any warning, showing the enormous confidence hidden in Qin Fen when he fired.

This performance was something that exceeded pure marksmanship. There were other military techniques within it! The hidden nature of that shot was far too strong. If this shot had been done during combat in the midst of trees and if Qin Fen was his opponent, Iron Hand found it quite likely that his life would be in forfeiture the moment he revealed his back.

The other seasoned soldiers froze in place as well. Monkey was mid-bite in a peach when he froze, and Chicken had just bitten down on some seeds in his hand.

Making a curve shot was completely different from shooting a fixed target and shooting a moving target. Anyone could be proficient in the latter with strenuous training.

However, the curve shot needed both bitter training and talent.

Where in the world did this recruit come from? The seasoned soldier studied Qin Fen anew. Qin Fen was calm, silent, and had defeated the traps of assembling guns and the moving target they set before the mission. He outmaneuvered them so easily that their plans were completely destroyed.

This was first-class marksmanship, a steady quality of the heart, and a lively mind. These weren’t qualities that a recruit should possess. Which military family did this genius of the new generation come from?

“Interesting. How interesting!”

Xue Tian walked briskly to arrive in front of Qin Fen, the long katana gently waving on his waist. Based on the position it hung from his waist, anyone could tell that it wasn’t used for decoration but was truly a sharp weapon for killing.

Though there was a thick scabbard of steel, Qin Fen could still feel the cold sharp blade seep through from the scabbard. That was a blade that had truly killed people before. Though it couldn’t compare in the dense blood-thirsty aura of Butcher’s Triface Thorn, the aura of sharpness far exceeded that of the Triface Thorn.

“What’s up? You know blades too?” Xue Tian could feel what Qin Fen had his attention on. He handed the katana on his waist over to Qin Fen with a slap. “It looks like we are the only two recruits in this mission. Letting you take a look can be considered a sort of getting to know each other.”

Qin Fen acted straightforwardly. He extended a hand to accept the katana while giving his explosively powerful handgun over to Xue Tian. He could tell that Xue Tian had glanced at his explosively powerful handgun with curiosity when giving him the blade.

It looked to be a typical heavy katana, but Qin Fen’s heart immediately felt shocked the moment it was placed on his hand. This blade had to be at least thirty kilograms in weight, giving it a power far stronger than expected in close-quarter combat.

Xue Tian held the gun assembled with explosive power, clicking his tongue without end. It took him longer than Qin Fen to assemble a gun back when it was his turn, and his gun wasn’t as blunt and direct as Qin Fen’s. At the very least, he could say that he never thought that such a gun could be assembled.

These two people appeared very differently in the eyes of the seasoned soldier when compared to the past. From their current performances, these two had exceeded the level of recruits and had barely reached the level that a first-grade special forces soldier should have.

“Hey, new kid. Let’s spar a bit, what do you say?” Monkey tossed away the peach in his hand and slithered over before Qin Fen. He said, “Impromptu responses are very important in missions.”

Qin Fen spoke not a word as he shook his head in silence. This man walked with his knees bent far, appearing quite frivolous. However, his steps were actually steady, the spine of his back was faintly curved like a bow, and his arms hung down with power. There seeped through the faint air of a monkey in a zoo. If Monkey were truly to fight, then he would probably be terrifyingly nimble.

“What’s wrong? Scared?” Monkey stared at him provocatively. “You appear to be someone skilled but without any guts. People like you are suited for teaching, not for….”

“Only an idiot would fight in this so-called fair environment where a four-star martial artist challenges a six-star meteor level expert.” With just this simple sentence from Qin Fen, Monkey’s expression became richer than Squad Leader Hao’s when his power level was exposed.

The several seasoned soldiers and Xue Tian looked at Qin Fen with odd expressions. This young man just entered the room not too long ago. He possessed a calm attitude from beginning to end, challenging everyone’s baseline of understanding in unbroken succession.

This was a young man who could rely on his martial senses to detect whether or not his opponent was stronger than him, but such people, who could see through the true strength of those stronger than him, were extremely rare even among the most talented.

“I’m very interested in experiencing the Great Sage Fist, if you’re willing to fight me fairly using four-star strength.” Qin Fen said, already retreating two steps back into the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s rising stance. His stance was that of challenge.

All those able to enter the special forces, especially a first-grade special forces soldier, possess their own unique qualities. Learning through combat and absorbing experience is the best way to improve yourself. Qin Fen remembered Butcher’s words to this day. Right now he had the chance to spar with special forces soldiers, people who weren’t his masters. He naturally wouldn’t let the chance go that easily.

The gazes that the seasoned soldiers used to stare at Qin Fen changed once more. This young man’s words had pushed Monkey into a corner where he had no option but to accept the challenge, a challenge where he could only use four-star strength.

Monkey had a very odd expression on his face. The Monkey Fist had already begun to be infused within his bones, and the air of the Monkey Form upon his body had gradually turned from a dense thickness to something not as evident. He had walked a mere few steps. He never thought that a four-star martial artist could see through him with just that. Where in the world did the young man’s massive amount of experience come from?

Qin Fen had seen over a thousand fights. Within the past month, all sorts of experts had given him instruction. Qin Fen had assimilated the essence of observing combat at lightning speed back in the day. His strength of vision was far greater than his physical strength.
