Chapter 216 - Intimidating Qin Fen, Violent Qin Fen (1/2)

Qin Fen and the others were led to Wang Hao’s territory. They requested two private rooms to meditate in rather than immediately meeting up with Wang Hao.

Chen Feiyu needed to practice the revised martial arts in order to recover from the bodily damages he suffered from the overbearing power he had experienced during his previous practice. At the same time, he would undergo a breakthrough, something he had not done in years.

Qin Fen, on the other hand, was busy finishing up the revision for the first six layers of practice. He was also modifying the way of his practice, in order to create his very own Dragon Fist.

Dragons were once the symbols of the emperor.

Throughout the years, reserved and feminine individuals never managed to become emperor.

Only the tough was able to show monarchism.

After retreating for more than ten days, Qin Fen managed to integrate various fist techniques that he understood and absorbed from his previous encounters.

Using the Dragon Fist as base, Qin Fen created an initial model of the Iron Fist by merging martial techniques he had learned from old butlers: the Raging Berserker Tide and other combat skills.

Having completed a brand new set of fist technique, Qin Fen opened his eyes, slightly surprised. Lin Ling welcomed him with a congratulatory expression.

The true energy within his body was strong, like the currents of a river. Qin Fen was slightly taken aback by the strength of a six-star martial artist.

The continuous life and death combat that Qin Fen faced ever since he entered the military camp had not only increased his physical strength but also his mental strength. His level of ability had continued to increase within just a short period of time.

Martial artists would enter a period of high-speed promotion in martial artists’ star-class upon reaching the age of eighteen. Qin Fen already had some preparation regarding this aspect, but he never thought that the speed of promotion would be so fast.

His initial intention was just to create his own fist technique. He never expected the energy within his body to increase so rapidly the moment he crafted his fist technique. He broke through the five-star bottleneck that he had been struggling with in such a coincidental way.

His strength immediately went from the peak of a five-star into the six-star realm.

Qin Fen looked up at the surveillance camera at the corner of the ceiling and sighed softly.

Performing this task was great, but at the same time bad as well.

The chance to train with so many seasoned soldiers, witness the special occasion of Gruesome Madness, and the chance to nurture murderousness from the life and death combat…with all these opportunities, he was able to accumulate enough knowledge to build his very own martial art scripture, successfully entering the six-star.

The only pity was that there was a surveillance camera watching. Hence, the room was not suitable for him to thoroughly go through the procedure of the technique.

If only he could properly practice, he could probably increase his true energy even more along with this breakthrough. It was indeed a pity.

Lin Ling stepped forward and tiptoed. She gently pecked Qin Fen’s cheeks with her lips and walked into his embrace.

With the presence of the surveillance camera, the two were careful to not raise any suspicion. Qin Fen held Lin Ling in his embrace and gently kissed her head.

They pushed open the door and saw that there were two guards who were already waiting for them. They looked curiously at Qin Fen. In the past few days, Wang Hao had already fought twice with Wu Lianda over this outsider who had yet to join any organization. Is he really that valuable?

The two soldiers then led Qin Fen onto the road to meet Wang Hao. Along their way, everyone threw Qin Fen a gaze filled with doubt.

“General, Qin Fen has returned from his retreat.”

The soldiers calmly reported as they stood outside the hall as if they did not see Wu Lianda, who was there as a guest.

“Oh? The person who killed my men is finally out.”

Wu Lianda gave Wang Hao an insincere smile. This time, he did not come alone. Instead, he brought along a special envoy sent by the honorary president.

Wu Lianda would not have the guts to enter the middle of Wang Hao’s territory if the honorary president’s special envoy, Mr. Penalo was not there.

Wang Hao’s face sunk slightly. The end of Qin Fen’s retreat indicated that Wu Lianda did not have to spend money on hiring the honorary president’s special envoys any longer. This was indeed not so good news.

According to the rules of the Golden Triangle, the price of hiring the honorary president’s special envoys were calculated by day. With each day of hire, one would need to pay an amount that even generals would see as extremely expensive.

Wu Lianda had already stayed here for five days. His banknotes had been endlessly flowing each day like streams of water. If Qin Fen were to retreat for months and Wu Lianda continued to hire specials envoys just to stay here, he would be headed into bankruptcy.

Wang Hao could only hope that Wu Lianda’s forces could be taken down without the need of a single soldier. That way, the whole province would be under his influence alone, and his power would definitely rise.

“Little General Wang, aren’t you going to invite him in?” There was a hint of pain in Wu Lianda’s smile. He had spent days researching Qin Fen through a variety of sources. The more information he gathered, the more restless he got.

He was only a three-star when he got enlisted, yet he managed to achieve five-star within a short timespan. From Qin Fen’s journey of killing and slaughtering to make his way into the Golden Triangle, Wu Lianda believed that if he were to be put in the same position with the same level of strength, he would not have survived even one-third of the journey.

Plus, if he were to bring a lady along with him, he would not have survived even one-fifth of the journey due to the nature of their relationship regardless of how skillful the lady could have been.

Wang Hao threw a quick glance at the honorary presidential special envoy. He could only sigh quietly. His current strength was still insufficient in contending the entire Golden Triangle.

“Let them come in.”

As he heard the helplessness in Wang Hao’s order, Wu Lianda felt that the money he spent didn’t go to waste.

As soon as Qin Fen and Lin Ling walked into the hall hand in hand, Wu Lianda’s eyes immediately went wide. The usual calm and steady Wu Lianda could not hold back his astonishment.

Wang Hao, who was sitting peacefully also let out a “Yee?”

He did not expect that Qin Fen’s strength could be pushed to another level within just a few days, and what more, to the extent of a six-star.

For a moment, Qin Fen’s weight in the hearts of the two generals increased again.

It was rare for someone to reach the six-star level at such a young age. Nevermind that there were only a few on Earth, even if all the other planets within the Federation were taken into account, there were still not many of them.

Such a young genius has never even appeared in the Golden Triangle.

Even if he were to face a martial bottleneck in the future, his future abilities should not be underestimated at all. With such a young age, he could transform a huge amount of money into medications like the Evolution Pearl to help him reach higher star-class.

The honorary presidential special envoy who had a straight face all this while also showed amazement. A young man having such strength is too shocking!

At that time, the three different people in the hall had the same thought.

“Kid, you dared to kill my men. How courageous.”

Wu Lianda had a gloomy expression. He had made a pre-emptive speech with the intention that Wang Hao would have nothing to say. From this, he could successfully eliminate this future threat.

Wang Hao did not speak immediately as he observed Qin Fen quietly. A martial artists genius was indeed rare, but if he wasn’t courageous enough, his innate skills would not matter at all. He needed to make a more holistic evaluation.

Qin Fen was cold toward Wu Lianda’s piercing gaze, “He wanted to kill me, so I killed him first.”

Wu Lianda’s eyebrows twitched a little. Even seasoned soldiers who have fought various battles would find it hard to remain calm at his fierce gaze. Qin Fen’s anchoring force that allowed him to remain unshaken was enough reason to get him killed.

“He wanted to kill you?” Wu Lianda sneered, “What would a two-star martial artist use to kill you? Kid, the reason you killed my men was because you still wanted to live at a king’s place despite having no money, right? This incident happened before you joined Little Wang General’s force. Technically, we should still take this into account.”

“Old General Wu, it is not right for you to speak like this. Regardless of what he did before, he has joined my organization. He is now one of my men.”

At that time, Wang Hao had to speak up. Conflict might arise if he were to remain silent. All the hidden losses from previous outside battles with Wu Lianda’s men would be for nothing.

“Why?” Wu Lianda’s looked at him, baffled, and said with a sharp voice, “Little General Wang, are you trying to be nosey and disobey the rules?”

As he had the honorary presidential special envoy with him, Wu Lianda was not afraid of whatever Wang Hao was playing. Unless he wanted to rely on the thousands of guns that he had to fight all generals at the Golden Triangle.

Otherwise, regardless of how arrogant Wu Lianda was, Wang Hao could only glare at him so long as he did not do anything that was against the rules.

“Old General Wu…” Wang Hao’s tone suddenly got heavy, “I am also filled with remorse for your loss. According to the rules, I can also pay you double the amount of that person’s value, and this event can be considered history. What do you think?”

Wu Lianda turned his wrist over and pointed at Qin Fen with his iron crutch, “If I killed this man, took away this woman, and gave you a ton of powder as compensation, would you accept?”

Wang Hao supported his chin with one hand and looked at Wu Lianda. His eyebrows were constantly twitching.

Wu Lianda held his crutch in his hand, returning the glare to Wang Hao along with a sneer.

The murderous aura in the room was getting thicker and thicker. The guards in the hall reacted on their conditioned reflex, pulled open the bolts and aimed directly at Wu Lianda.

Together along with the sound of the metal’s collision, Wu Lianda’s personal bodyguards also pointed their guns at Wang Hao, who was supporting his chin with one hand.

The two generals looked at each other coldly, as if they had not noticed that deadly firearms were already aligned with their bodies.

“Enough, put away all the guns.” The special envoy who had been quiet throughout the whole ordeal said in a long draggy tone, “Let’s stick to the old rules, the gamble of life and death. General Wang Hao shall bet his man, which is this disobedient fella, and General Wu Lianda shall bet his resources, which is a ton of powder, as quoted by the General. If the boy lives, the powder goes to General Wang Hao, and the case is then closed. If the boy dies, the body and the woman shall go to General Wu Lianda, and the case is then closed.”

Wu Lianda’s cold face showed a smile. He would already be satisfied if he was able to kill Qin Fen, but if he could also get the girl, he would then have to stay home for several days to concentrate on nurturing this perfect little lady.

Wang Hao put away the arm that was supporting his chin, leaned against the back of the chair, and sighed heavily. He still did not have the power to fight a special envoy.

Wu Lianda cackled, “Kid, I’ll see how much longer you can maintain your calmness. Don’t think that I will not be able to kill you just because the rules restrict me from sending a martial artist who is two stars higher than you. Even if there isn’t going to be an eight-star martial artist, you will still die!”

“Can I raise the bet?”

Qin Fen’s quiet question made the three big bosses in the house express surprise at the same time.

The gamble of life and death had taken place many times, but they had never encountered a participant of the gamble who proposed to raise the bet.

“What do you want to add?” The special envoy looked at Qin Fen with full interest. It had been a long time since he last came across such an interesting young man.

“I have a little money on me.” Although Qin Fen still appeared calm, his eyes had begun to show a glimmer of excitement, “Can I bet that I would win?”

The special envoy looked at Wu Lianda with a half smile. As the party that was betting with powder, he was the only one who was qualified to decide whether the bet could be raised.

“No problem.” Wu Lianda said with a very open mind, “I remember that you once fought a very expensive battle at Gruesome Madness. How about I pay you a one to ten ratio? ”

“Giving me millions?” Qin Fen rolled his shoulders, “Let’s get started.”

“No need to rush.” Wu Lianda gave Qin Fen a sinister smile. He looked at Wang Hao, who was contemplating quietly, “Little General Wang, I intend to arrange this gamble of life and death at the death pool located in your territory.”

“Death pool?”

Wang Hao’s body shook a little. His eyes showed an eagerness in wanting to figure out Wu Lianda’s plan.

In the Golden Triangle, there was a death pool located in every general’s territory.

It was a huge pool that was built by using reinforced concrete, and the pools in each territory were all different in size.

According to the rules, that was the place to deal with traitors.

Of course, the word “deal” actually meant kill.

Obviously, the killing was not done simply, but rather, through a torturous process. In the most brutal way, the traitor would die along with his most painful cry. This was so that other people would not dare to betray them after witnessing such a cruel scene.

Wang Hao nodded slightly and walked slowly down the steps towards Qin Fen. He raised his hand, patted Qin Fen’s shoulder and whispered, “Be careful…”

“Little General Wang, please don’t break the rules.” Wu Lianda sneered as he followed behind him, “I don’t want to see you, this newly rising general, have your territory taken away by the president general just because you disobeyed the rules.”

Wang Hao’s heavily let out a cold humph and said nothing else.

According to the rules, he was not allowed to provide any information to participants of the bet. Otherwise, he would become a member of those who have broken rules. If that happened, he would have no choice but to get the special envoy and Wu Lianda killed in order to live.

But that would mean going against the entire Golden Triangle and would only result in a tragic death.

Qin Fen held Lin Ling’s hand and quietly followed the crowd out of the hall, all the way to the most remote corner of Wang Hao’s territory.

The death pool here was a thousand square meters large with twenty meters deep. If an ordinary martial artists fell in with no equipment to assist, there would not be much likelihood in him coming up besides from the walkway.
