Chapter 98 - The Four-Star Defeats the Five-Star (1/2)

In the One Palm Four Styles, the fingertips, finger-joints, surface of the fist, and back of the fist unleash successive force upon striking the enemy. Power endlessly superimposes on top of each other, creating higher and higher waves. Monkey called this move the Four Heavy Forces of the Iron Monkey.

Pressure from the palm arrived before the palm itself. The circulation and surge of true energy within the bones defused energy into the air, and Qin Fen’s mental state instantly entered the highest peak of performances. He was far too familiar with the sound, which was like billowing waves.

The Raging Berserker Tide! Monkey was using an attack that was similar to the Raging Berserker Tide!

In a split second, Qin Fen narrowed his eyes into a thin line, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art began to rotate at high speeds like a turbine. The powerful circulation caused energy to erupt from all the pores of his body. A shake of his shoulders brought a pressing palm with a power akin to the clap of thunder, while the sound of the battering tide endlessly crackled from within his muscles and bones.

His mental state had reached the apex, and the Raging Berserker Tide’s power erupted with unprecedented concentration.

Bam bam bam…

Both sides exchanged blows in an instant, and Monkey’s face distorted from the pain.  What kind of finishing move is the kid using? It is undoubtedly the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, but why does the kid’s palm faintly seep with the defensive power of the Golden Bell Shield? Am I misperceiving things?

Before the final heavy force of the Four Heavy Forces of the Iron Monkey could be used, Qin Fen’s Raging Berserker Tide’s seventh tide was already thrown out. Monkey’s face flushed deep red as he raised his Holy Sage Art directly to the meteor level’s six-star.

Bang!

The ground shook, and Qin Fen was sent tumbling into the air a good dozen meters away. He continued to be pushed back several meters even after his feet made contact with the ground. The marble flooring beneath his feet was shattered to pieces with every step.

Gasp gasp gasp…

The turbocharged Raging Berserker Tide was Qin Fen’s ultimate finishing move. Monkey had broken his agreement and used the five-star meteor level, so Qin Fen naturally didn’t show any mercy.

He gasped for large mouthfuls of breathy, his breathing haphazard. He would be the one to lose as a four-star challenging a higher level five-star meteor level expert if he wasn’t able to end the fight quickly. Monkey actually used the six-star meteor level, and victory and defeat were completely decided in an instant. The most Qin Fen was able to do was be pushed back. It was already quite considerable to not be knocked out or even killed in this situation.

Qin Fen’s arms couldn’t stop shaking with true energy being dispersed from them. No one was able to defeat someone two levels higher than them. If the body wasn’t strong enough, if the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art didn’t possess such a decent protective power, even a broken arm would be considered a light injury from Monkey’s attack.

Meteor Level and the other seasoned soldiers were shocked. What sort of place had spawned this monster of a recruit? The explosive power just now was considerable. If it had been an expert who had just entered the meteor level fighting this four-star recruit, it was possible to be defeated and left in the ditches by this four-star recruit.

Monkey raised a hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He was the most shocked out of everyone present. If he had continued in going all out with five-star strength and dragged out the fight, he might’ve been able to kill enough time for Qin Fen’s true energy to run out, then easily dispose of Qin Fen.

Though such a method of dragging out a fight might count as a win, there was no sense of beauty to be found in it.

For a five-star expert having to resort of stalling tactics to defeat a four-star Heavy Forces of the Iron Monkey warrior? Monkey wouldn’t stoop that low, yet at the same time, he wanted to see just how strong Qin Fen was. The six-star Four Heavy Forces of the Iron Monkey was only able to forcefully push his opponent back. Monkey would need a few more seconds if he wanted to kill Qin Fen. Didn’t this make Qin Fen a freak?

“Oh man! Monkey, how much of a loss of face was that?”

Phoenix’s mocking voice echoed from the elevator.

“That was the six-star meteor level just now, right?” Butcher stood by Phoenix. There appeared to be some doubt in his tone, but anyone could tell that actually he was rejoicing in other people’s misfortune.

Monkey subconsciously tucked in his chin the moment he saw Phoenix. He placed his attention on Butcher and said, “Hey, you! Guy who can only kill! This bro admits that he underestimated this recruit. Let’s see if you have the skills to beat him with four-star strength!”

“If it’s a spar, I am confident that I can beat Drill Instructor Butcher.” Qin Fen gently warmed up his arms and fingers. “If it’s a battle between life and death without the use of guns, then I am still lacking.”

“What?” Iron Hand, Monkey, and the other seasoned soldiers raised their voices as they looked at Butcher. They asked, faces spelling that they didn’t dare believe it, “He’s your student?”

Butcher shook his head. “He’s not completely my student.”

A light bulb flashed in Iron Hand’s mind. He blurted, “Gun King!”

“That’s not all.” Butcher shook his head.

“Can it be….” Monkey’s eyes spun round and round without end as he asked, “Old Hao, that damned trickster….”

“That’s still not all.” Phoenix beamed from the side.

“Don’t tell me… it’s all you scum together?” Iron Hand asked, not believing his own words at all. These scum saw themselves far above the peak. Even just one of them nodding their heads in agreement to teach a recruit meant that the recruit’s background was out of this world. Now the whole group of them were teaching a recruit? Just how much influence did this kid have? Could he be the kid of the Federation’s president?

That can’t be right! The president of the Federation doesn’t have the last name Qin! Can the kid be an illegitimate child?

“You got it this time.”

There was not even a sliver of pride within Butcher’s expression. Through his dull tone, the information in his words was quite impactful.
