Chapter 241 - Shocking News (2/2)
The new recruit mock battle tournament was a competition between new recruits who had not yet been assigned to various service and were still training together.
As such, it was bound to be a confrontation of the ground forces. There would be no electronic warfare, no mobile armor or aircraft.
As the matter stood, the Thunderstorm in the new recruits mock battle tournament was almost invincible.
The West Asia Army had already made a proclamation that they would hold down the East Asia Army in any aspect during the new recruit tournament. But all the resolute declarations made by the West Asia Army failed with Qin Fen walking around with the Thunderstorm.
At least, with East Asia having such a monster in the new recruit mock battle tournament, not only West Asia would have issues. Even the American recruits may not necessarily have a way to win.
Today, the turmoil caused by the sudden emergence of the insect warriors had given the three heroes of West Asia a chance. So long as they could kill Qin Fen here, they could push it on the insect warriors later and that would be enough.
All the calculations were finalized in an instant, but the result was completely different than what the heroes of West Asia had imagined.
In just one second, out of three heroes of West Asia, two were dead and one was injured.
Having understood the truth, Qin Fen’s gaze grew colder and colder. To his surprise, they had spared no efforts to kill a fellow soldier just for the glory of the West Asia Army!
Qin Fen found it somewhat ridiculous. Asia was the largest comprehensive continent in the Federation. Yet it was forcefully divided into West and East Asia. And even when the situation had developed into this, they were still thinking of killing someone.
“Since you want to kill me…”
“You can also kill me.” Mourad calmly closed his eyes. “When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you will not be soft-hearted when you decided to kill someone. When I had decided to make my move, I was ready to be killed by you if and when I fail.”
Qin Fen slowly nodded his acknowledgment. Butcher had said more than once that showing leniency on a battlefield is akin to inviting Yama.
Either you live or I live! When someone had experienced this kind of thing a lot, he or she would turn into someone who would not be soft-hearted when killing someone. However, there were not many people in the world who liked killing.
“If you answer my one question, I will let you go.”
Qin Fen’s voice made Mourad open his eyes once more as a hope for survival was rekindled in his eyes.
Just as there weren’t many people who enjoyed killing, there were not many people who were truly willing to die.
“How strong is Shangguan Chuanqi compared to you?”
An obvious surprise appeared on Mourad’s face before he sneered and said, “I haven’t seen him for over half a year, but I know that he is very strong. At the rate of his development, he should be far stronger than you. If you are planning on challenging him, then, it better for you to give up. Unless…”
Mourad turned his eyes at the Thunderstorm in Qin Fen’s hand. “If you are using this thing, you should still have a chance.”
“Is that so?” Qin Fen calmly smiled. “You can go.”
Mourad stood still where he was, but his eyebrows were closely knit together. “You don’t believe me? Three months after the graduation from his high school, Shangguan Chuanqi’s strength reached eight-star level.”
Qin Fen’s pupils instantly constricted to the size of a pinhole. Three months!? Eight-star!? Qin Fen could clearly notice the sincerity in Mourad’s words; there wasn’t an ounce of exaggeration.
“The current Shangguan Chuangqi…” Mourad raised his head and looked up at the Mars which he was temporarily unable to see, his eyes filled with endless worship. “I believe should be stronger than before!”
In contrast to the expression of West Asia Army, Mourad’s face was filled with admiration!
“He will definitely be able to take the new divine beast title and become the strongest existence in the Federation!” Mourad’s eyes were filled with endless fervor. “He will have the power to override all the rules of the Federation!”
Qin Fen stared at Mourad with curiosity. What kind of man is this Shangguan Chuanqi is? How can he make Mourad, who is equally outstanding, idolize him in such a way, almost to the point of reaching obsession!?
“You…” As the expression in Mourad’s eyes became firm and clear, he stared at Qin Fen. “If you want to challenge my senior brother, you simply aren’t qualified! If you let me go today, then in the new recruits martial arts tournament, I will knock you down instead of senior brother!”
Qin Fen waved his hand, allowing the other side to leave. Looking at the fading back of the last of the three heroes of West Asia, he muttered to himself, “I will defeat you first, and then wait for Shangguan Chuanqi’s challenge.”
A gust of wind blew over, blowing the grass so that it slightly touched the ground.
Owing to the death of so many creatures here, the air seemed to be filled with a chill of lingering ghosts. Qin Fen could help but subconsciously shrink his neck.
Turning around and looking at the dark and dreary forest, Qin Fen took a long, deep breath before slowly making his way towards the forest once more.
Whether it was the new recruits martial arts tournament, or facing Song Wnedong’s holy decree-like proclamation, the most basic premise for both was to leave here alive; leave this forest that was laden with death threats.
“Eight-star…” Qin Fen muttered Mourad’s words. “Eight-star…eight-star…”
Powerful forces would not only foster the experiences of the later generations but would also transform the huge financial resources into the key to enhance the strength of their future generations as far as possible.
Right then, a large and familiar shadow appeared in the forest…
