Chapter 147 - The First Contest of the Recruits Fights (2/2)
Zha Can? The number one recruit from the State of Thailand?
The living quarters, which had been in somewhat of an uproar just now, turned completely quiet in an instant. Practically everyone’s gazes focused toward the doorway. At the same time, they subconsciously parted a path for the man, and at the very end of the path was Qin Fen, who was in the middle of tidying up his military uniform.
Zha Can carried a very refined and courteous smile. He lifted his leg and strode into the room. The recruits who blocked his way felt an instinctual sort of danger that was hard to describe aloud. They didn’t have any thoughts whatsoever as they dodged to the side, opening up a path.
The recruits gazed at Zha Can’s back with faint smiles and nods as he continued to make his way forward. This man was barely a hundred and seventy centimeters in height. Why was it that the aura that came off his body was just like that of a bold and powerful tiger?
“Hello.” Zha Can arrived before Qin Fen and clasped his hands together once again. “Please allow me to introduce myself for a moment. My name is Zha Can. I am a recruit from the State of Thailand. When I was 15 years old, I seize the title of youth champion in the Neo Muay Thai Power Struggle Tournament.”
Qin Fen studied Zha Can. The man’s height didn’t give him any clear or prominent advantage. His body seeped with a murderous aura, within which carried a hint of a dense bloodthirsty aura. His bones exuded a viciousness completely different from his meek external appearance. He was brave to the point of wildness, the hegemonic way.
It wasn’t too long ago when Muay Thai was called the fighting technique that was created completely for the sake of battle. It was just that with the rise of paleo martial arts and neo martial arts, Muay Thai entered a low tide of popularity.
Just like with the other martial arts that entered low tides of popularity, every school or style that was able to be passed on without being eradicated naturally had a peerless and talented person appear in that school, pushing the martial art to newer and greater heights once more.
Muay Thai was the same. This set of combat techniques existed neatly for the sake of combat. After Luo Fengzi fused several paleo martial arts and neo martial arts together, he created Neo Muay Thai upon the foundation of Muay Thai. It was much more tyrannical than the original Muay Thai and much more crazy, fierce, vicious, and bloody.
Qin Fen had seen practitioners of Neo Muay Thai on the battle network before, but he had never seen someone who had attain the realm that Zha Can had obtained. If his calculations were correct, Zha Can should have already killed before.
“Do you want to swap pointers?”
After resting, Qin Fen’s body was at its most optimal state. He was stimulated by the bloody and tyrannical aura on Zha Can’s body. His desire to do battle, which had been lying dormant, began to awaken and soar once more.
“No, no, no.” Zha Can shook his head over and over. “I came to take away the title of the number one fighter among recruits. I want a true fight, not a swapping of pointers. One of life or death.”
Qin Fen gave an indifferent smile. Neo Muay Thai was one of the martial arts of the martial Dao of slaughter. Such an answer was quite reasonable and fair of Zha Can.
“Then did you bring enough money?”
The person who said these words wasn’t Qin Fen. The voice came from the entrance to the living quarters.
With a height of over a hundred and eighty centimeters and a weight of two hundred and eighty kilograms, Okamoto Takeshi was just like a mountain of flesh. He practically blocked up the entrance to the living quarters all by himself. A hint of a disdainful smile was on his face.
He raised his arm, which was thicker than the thigh of a normal person, and pushed away the recruits who blocked his path.
The recruits suddenly felt as if they were standing in the middle of the ocean, and that a giant wave was pushing them. They were unable to stand steady on the ground beneath their feet. They took several steps backward time and time again before they were able to stop and steady themselves.
Such an enormous power? The recruits were quite shocked. The training day they went through these past few days could be described as extremely difficult and arduous. Their strength had increased quite a bit, but Okamoto Takeshi had actually pushed them aside in an instant.
Okamoto Takeshi caused the floor tile to tremble with every step as he slowly walked into the room.
“Money?”
Zha Can was clearly shocked. Even the wild, tyrannical, and bloody aura on his body turned sluggish in this instant.
“That’s right. Money.” Okamoto Takeshi made his way firmly forward as he arrogantly said, “This Qin Fen doesn’t have even a shred of a martial artist’s honor. He said that anyone who wants to take away the title of being the number one fighter among recruits would need to pay a thousand dollars as a condition to fight him.”
“The thousand bucks is not just for anyone.” Qin Fen corrected Okamoto Takeshi. “Instead, every time I defeat the challenger, the fee charged will automatically increase by twofold. Therefore, if you want to save some money in challenging me, do your best to challenge me earlier.”
Okamoto Takeshi and Zha Can locked gazes for a moment before letting out sneers at the same time. They had never met such an egotistical person before in their lives. They clearly had yet to begin fighting, but from the tone of Qin Fen’s words, it sounded as if he thought he had already won.
“Lord Okamoto, you are too cunning, sir.”
Within this resounding and resident voice was pride. The voice came from the entrance to the living quarters like before.
Qin Fen raised his eyes to go look. The man wore a white karate uniform and possessed a height of approximately a hundred and seventy-five centimeters. He was pretty with delicate features, and the bones and muscles beneath his uniform revealed a sort of good proportions that was hard to describe. He was simply standing in place, but he gave one a sort of feeling of hardness like a stubborn rock.
A practitioner of Neo Karate? At the chest of the uniform were two characters that spelled Kyokushin. Did they show that the man was a practitioner of the Kyokushin Style? Qin Fen’s furrowed eyebrows slowly separated, as his facial expression turned into a faint smile.
He gently shook his head. Just what sort of day was today? If he knew that things were going to be like this, he would have done his research. It was very early in the morning, and young recruits from all sorts of states had come to challenge him.
“Lord Kyokushin Genichi, for the sake of the future of my Neo Sumo, I apologize.” Okamoto Takeshi didn’t even turn his head. Not a hint of apology could be heard in his voice. “As long as our State of Japan can seize the title of Number One Fighter Among Recruits, is there a need to discern between us?”
