Chapter 134 - Heart of a Martial Artist (1/2)

People actually were willing to spend a thousand dollars to buy an autograph? Qin Fen was now certain that if someone knew where he lived, there would be assassins hired by fans to come kill him.

The time for the auction ran out, but the other auctions continued to count down.

Qin Fen suddenly realized his heart wasn’t as strong as he once imagined. These thirty or so autographs looked like they were going to reach astronomical prices by the end of the auctions.

For the sake of having a good night’s sleep, Qin Fen simply chose to exit from the auction interface. He placed his focus back on Zhang Xiangyang, who sat on his bed.

This man possessed super computational abilities. At the same time, he had the member login, password, and URL to the black market. Such a person could not be ordinary. Qin Fen propped his chin up with one hand. He carefully studied Zhang Xiangyang, who was looking at a magazine at this time.

Why is he helping me? It seems that he wants to get close to me on purpose? Qin Fen was really puzzled. He was unable to find any clues for the time being. Even the psychology that Squad Leader Hao had taught him was incapable of being used at this time.

The series of fights, along with the special training infusing martial arts, had made Qin Fen’s body and mind weary to their limits. Qin Fen fell asleep sitting there at an unknown time.

—

The darkness was boundless and limitless, and it belonged to the master of the school of analysis. He walked slowly out from the darkness with a faint smile on his face, and faint appreciation could be seen on his forehead.

“Young man, you have done well today.”

The master spoke his words forever in a manner that was neither too fast nor too slow. His calm, unperturbed, and collected voice was well in-line with his temperament.

“Does the master have any suggestions in regards to my fusing the Guardian Deity Dance and Dragon Guard together?”

Qin Fen really liked to chat with this master. They would talk through the entire night every time they met. The martial dao was vast and blurry, but Qin Fen always gained quite a bit of clarity from their talks.

“Suggestion, eh?” The master had a faint smile as he shook his head over and over. “I don’t have any suggestions this time. You have your own road. I don’t want to use my road to completely control you. I will investigate and give you suggestions on any mistakes that can be avoided. However, you will likely hit a brick wall with some things. You need to experience this in order to truly grow.”

A hint of astonishment flashed in Qin Fen’s eyes. “What? Is the master saying that I’ve walked the wrong road this time?”

The master smiled for quite some while before saying, “What do you think?”

Qin Fen sunk into contemplation. The master had never been wrong since he first started talking to him. Before the master, Qin Fen felt himself to be a mere rookie. He had to do some proper thinking when faced with the master’s question.

A minute. Ten minutes. An hour. Two hours…

Qin Fen slowly raised his head. The confusion in his eyes was wiped completely clean. In its place were calmness and firmness like that of the master.

“Master, thank-you sir.”

“What are you thanking me for? I didn’t do anything.”

Qin Fen shook his head very seriously. “I have always believed that I had something to preserve my own when it comes to my understanding of the martial dao, but I was immediately rattled by master’s question. This is because you have never spoken something by mistake before. Therefore, I began to suspect that my idea of fusing and creating is wrong. I thought for a long time. I contemplated very seriously until I understood just now. You are teaching me, sir, that the journey on the martial dao is forever vast and blurry. However, a martial artist must possess a staunch heart! A heart of martial arts that can pierce through whatever vastness and blurriness before me!”

The master spread open his hands and shrugged his shoulders, but his face was filled with a smile that said, ‘Everything is as you’ve said. I have nothing to say at all.’

“Thank you, sir.” Qin Fen gave a serious bow. “I figured it out from what you said just now. There is no right or wrong when it comes to martial dao. The only things that can be wrong are the person and the person’s heart.”

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

The master lightly clapped without end. “Kid, your comprehension far exceeds my imagination. I thought that your level of comprehension would only reach an understanding on whether or not your actions are suited for you. I never thought that you, with your four-star strength, can possess a comprehension that far exceeds the comprehension of the four-star level. Good. Very good!”

The compliments came out, and the master’s body flickered. His speed was as fast as coursing lightning. He extended two fingers to directly strike Qin Fen between the eyebrows!

Four-star strength? How is this possible? What happened to Qin Fen was just like what happened to the opponents that Qin Fen had struck down in the past. When faced with the master using four-star strength, Qin Fen didn’t even have the chance to resist at all.

The sight before his eyes went black, and Qin Fen fell completely into a deep sleep.

He had heard the master’s words echo from the void the instant before he sunk into sleep. “Kid, take a good break for now.”

Qin Fen snored thunderously this night. None of his comrades, when faced with the noise, were able to easily and peacefully fall asleep.

“Old Boss’s snoring is even louder than his battle roars.”
