Chapter 379 - Grandmaster of A Generation (1/2)
In the white hospital corridor, several young people were walking quickly. With just one look, the female nurses who were passing by knew that these people were here to challenge.
Recently, some people came forth to challenge almost every day. The doctors, nurses, and even the patients had felt very uncomfortable at the beginning but had gradually become numb to this sight.
A few nurses who weren’t occupied followed behind the young challengers. Although they were numb to the daily challenges, everyone remained curious about whether or not the two young people who guarded the door could be defeated.
In the past month or so, only a handful of challengers had passed the State of Japan checkpoint, yet they were stopped easily by another stern, handsome guy from Europe.
Unlike the young martial artists from the State of Japan, the stern, handsome guy with obvious European bloodlines defeated his opponent with one move in just a blink of an eye, rendering them powerless.
“Is Qin Fen here…”
“Looking for Old Qin?”
A sound with slight excitement could be heard from Qin Fen’s ward. The door opened slowly and a yawning Sky Splitter Brooks walked out of the room. His pale blue eyes looking at the three young martial artists from head to toe.
“Enzo Rota, do you mind giving these people to me?”
Brooks smiled as he looked at the stern, handsome European guy sitting not too far away from him. He was calculating on the tablet in his hand and did bother to lift his head up.
Since everyone was injured, the responsibility of chasing the challengers away had basically fallen on the shoulders of Kyokushin Genichi. As Qin Fen’s disciple, he had limited strength. Upon the occasional confrontation with stronger martial artists, he was powerless to stop them.
When this happened for the first time, Enzo Rota appeared. He didn’t even lift his head at that time. He kicked his opponent’s lower abdomen directly and without looking at the opponent, he turned around and sat, proceeding with his simulated medication calculations.
The young martial artist who was kicked in the lower abdomen had his liver ruptured. He was admitted into the hospital and had not yet recovered fully even until now.
In the past month, Brooks had become the first young martial artist to recover fully. He was sparring in swordsmanship in the room with Xue Tian. He was defeated by Xue Tian in a single move. As he had nowhere to vent his disappointment, he decided to jump out of the room and practice with the incoming challengers.
Enzo Rota still didn’t lift his head. His ten fingers jumped fast on the tablet, and he replied very simply, “Sure.”
Brooks loosened his shoulders and raised his arms. He pointed at the three young men with the wooden blade in his hands, “Last time during my battle with Qin Fen, he always liked saying this one sentence. When I think about it, I feel that it is really cool. Today, I can finally say it. All of you, come at me together.”
When his voice fell, Brooks’ true energy sprinted in his body. The wooden blade in the palm of his hand pointing at the three people did not move, yet it suddenly made a vibrating sound.
Nine-star! After recuperating for more than a month, Brooks’ ability did not regress. With the exchange from Qin Fen and the others, plus Enzo Rota’s weird pills to nourish the body, not only did he enter the nine-star realm after his complete recovery, but he was also already very close to the peak strength of a nine-star.
Using nine-star strength for the first time, Brooks turned his head subconsciously and looked at the serious-looking Enzo Rota sitting on a long bench.
This genius from Europe is much more terrifying than I thought. Without the help of those medicines, I think my body would not have recovered fully at this time.
Understandably, Brooks was even more surprised by the other functions of Enzo Rota’s medication. To attain the strength he had now, the pills from this person had also played a major part in addition to the exchange with Qin Fen.
“This is an unusually effective pill.” Brooks made two clicking sounds with his mouth and shook his head very seriously, “The efficacy is extraordinary, even the price is equally extraordinary…”
Kyokushin Genichi, who was at the side nodded constantly when he heard this. These pills from the laboratory were focused on the efficacy of the medication. As they did not consider the problem of mass production, there was naturally no improvements done on cost compression and made every single pill extremely expensive.
The people who were in Qin Fen’s room came from wealthy families. Otherwise, there would not be many people who could actually afford the medications Enzo Rota was selling.
With the true energy oscillation, the wooden blade produced buzzing sounds in the air. The three young challengers stepped back together at the same time. They felt chills on their bodies and no one dared to look directly into Brooks’ eyes.
It was a pair of eyes that had something different from the usual battle intent. A killing intent flashed between the pair of eyes, a killing intent filled with bloodlust.
With just an exchange of looks, the three young martial artists saw the bloodlust in Brooks’ eyes. Brooks had attained too much revelation from the battle at the beach. Even though the thin wooden blade was at a distance, it still extruded a feeling that they were unable to compete.
“No need…”
The leader among the three challengers shook his head and sighed. There was no longer any battle intent in his eyes. He saluted and said, “Nine-star… how many nine-stars are there in the younger generation? You’ve won, we admit defeat…”
The other two young martial artists were also dejected. They had heard that Qin Fen had also come up with his own set of so-called rules to counter Qilin Martial God Song’s order, that is before anyone could challenge him, they must first defeat the people around him.
The outside world had been passing a rumor these days. The rumor stated that the person in front of Qin Fen’s door was a State of Japan’s martial artist that was in between six and seven-star. A nine-star martial artist was not expected to be hiding behind this martial artist from the State of Japan.
How many nine-stars does the younger generation have? Nine-star pretty much represented the strongest strength of the younger generation and was almost impossible to win over.
Brooks turned the wooden blade with his wrists and his lips twitched with an unhappy gaze, “Lame. I thought I would be able to vent out the unhappiness in my heart. I didn’t expect that these people wouldn’t even have the guts to make a move. What kind of progress can they achieve from that martial dao?”
Solomon leaned against the doorframe. He didn’t look at Brooks, who won without a fight. His eyes were instead fixed on Enzo Rota, who was working hard on his chair.
In the past, I’ve only heard that Enzo Rota was a super pharmaceutical genius, and likely to become the authoritative figure of the Federation’s pharmaceuticals in the future. I didn’t expect this future pharmaceutical leader to have this money-is-my-life’s side.
The tablet made a few oriole-like sounds. Enzo Rota stopped everything he was working on and carried the small black suitcase beside him into Qin Fen’s room.
The young martial artists in the room were either discussing the exchanges or had closed their eyes to meditate. Otherwise, they were going back and forth using their fists to grasp the results from their discussion.
The lively room turned completely quiet once Enzo Rota entered. Everyone showed a helpless smile and took out a virtual network bank transfer device from their bodies one by one.
The special medication that everyone took these days was free of charge. Excluding the three days after Enzo Rota’s arrival, medication taken at any other time would require money, and could only be bought at a high price.
According to Enzo Rota’s words, everyone understood that his primary task now was to improve the effectiveness of the medication while completely ignoring how expensive the cost was. However, if this was the case, even he couldn’t bear the high cost of the medicine himself.
Since everyone wanted to recover as soon as possible and wanted to supplement their body with external strength, a fundraiser it is! Everyone had a lot of money on their hands anyway.
