Chapter 187 - One Against Ten (1/2)

As a high-rank martial art, the Federation had released only the first three stages of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. In other words, when a cultivator reached its peak and broken through, he or she could only remain as a four-star initial stage martial artist; there was no possibility for him or her to enter the ranks of five-star, whatsoever.

If one wanted to take another step, all he or she could do was pick another art; they didn’t have any other options.

Even if one was a genius, it would still be impossible for one to get self-enlightened to the fourth stage by just practicing the first three stages of the art, despite the amount of martial arts foundation one had.

Song Zhenting measured Qin Fen once more. Although this young man’s background hadn’t been vetted through unique resources, still he had learned through some powerful channels; apart from his missing brother, he simply didn’t have any other relatives whatsoever. What more, he wasn’t acquainted with any member of the Sacred Martial Hall.

The later stage of the exercise could only be learned by entering the Sacred Martial Hall. Then, how did he come to learn it? Is it that some member of the Sacred Martial Hall had grown so gutsy that he even dared to break the rules of the Sacred Martial Hall and privately taught him?

Impossible! Song Zhenting discarded this notion immediately. Ever since his father had disposed of some powerful people with strong backings after they had gone against the martial artists of the Sacred Martial Hall, no one within the Federation dared to break the rules of the Sacred Martial Hall ever again.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, without fusing with any marvelous and odd protective cultivation arts! Song Zhenting’s eyes grew more and more blurry; a young man who is struggling to make his ends meet, how did have the time to work so hard to comprehend such a set of fitness exercise?! A poverty-stricken young man, how did he come to be in the possession of such a marvelous protective cultivation art!?

The sliver of praise that was present in Song Zhenting’s eyes at the beginning was now being gradually replaced with an ice-cold look. Anyone who was playing the idea of going against the family didn’t need to continue living in this world. More importantly, he didn’t have the qualifications to have his treasured daughter.

Qin Fen clearly sensed the threatening aura that had been emanating from the beginning from Song Zhenting gradually turn into an obvious killing intent; he truly wanted to kill him.

The killing intent on Song Zhenting vanished in the blink of an eye. The calm and dull look returned to his eyes once more as he sat back down on the rattan chair.

He quietly gazed at Qin Fen for a few seconds. This young man was the fastest to extricate himself from the ‘Wu’ character after entering the room.

The ‘Wu’ character was personally written by the Earth Martial God. It was such a simple character but it bore endless martial dao.

Almost every martial artist would be trapped in it by just glancing at it; they won’t be able to extricate themselves.

However, to many people, this ‘Wu’ character wasn’t some guiding light that will lead them to the correct path of martial dao, no, not at all.

On the contrary, if any weak people gaze at this character, they would only be led astray. In severe cases, it could even lead them into qigong deviation; their entire meridian would rupture, pushing them to their doom.

To the youths, entering the room and looking at this ‘Wu’ character was just a test. If they could get any enlightenment from it, it would naturally be good, if they couldn’t, that was fine as well.

Only, the young men coming to participate in the matchmaking were bound by the constraints of their age. They had endless potential but did not have the corresponding robust foundation.

As far as they were concerned, they simply didn’t want to comprehend anything in here, for they simply couldn’t comprehend anything, whatsoever.

As far as they were concerned, this test was nothing more than to see who could extricate themselves from the devilish constraints of the ‘Wu’ character. If they didn’t suffer any harm, then, they would have passed the test.

This was a unique method to check the strength of a martial artist as well as the strength and potential of their martial dao.

If someone was lacking in any one among the three, it would be reflected in this ‘Wu’ character.

Ge Bing was once the fastest of these candidates, holding the fastest record of seventy-six seconds!

However, this record did not hold for too long. it was immediately broken by the following Qin Fen with an overwhelming advantage.

From Qin Fen’s initial performance of this ‘Wu’ character, Song Zhenting discovered that his daughter indeed had quite an insight; she had actually chosen such a good and prospective young man.

As for the money, it was a test to see one’s character.

Facing a hundred or ten thousand bucks, people may be able to suppress their desires.

But facing a million, ten million, a hundred million, or a mountain of gold, it would be difficult for the people to suppress their desires.

Even if one said love was above everything with a strong sense of righteousness, said it was everything in life, their true intentions could easily be seen from the look in their eyes.

But to Song Zhenting’s surprise, the poverty-fearing Qin Fen, who was found to be extremely greedy from the reports, the very same Qin Fen facing the lure of riches, the riches that was no different than a mountain of gold, actually regarded the wealth as if it was no different than a pile of waste. This was totally out of his character.

While wealth is covetable for a gentleman as well, he takes it in its natural course. Suddenly, Song Zhenting recalled this sentence as he looked at Qin Fen.

Even when facing such a monstrous threat, that firm willpower caused Song Zhenting to praise once again. Back when he was young, he might not necessarily have had such a firm willpower like this kid.

A young man with no background had performed far better than the others in the test and paved his way to the last hurdle. Song Zhenming was somewhat taken aback.

However, just this final hurdle…

All the good impression that Qin Fen had just left on Song Zhenting was entirely overthrown.

Kill or not kill?
