Chapter 381 - Martial Dao Three Thousand – I’m On Divine Dao (2/2)
The aura from this leap was significantly softer compared to the stormy battles in the past. This leap produced a feeling resembling a leisure stroll in the courtyard instead.
However, the stroll was slightly exaggerated as the distance covered was nearly thirty meters in just a single step. Other patients strolling in the courtyard did not even have the time to be amazed watching Qin Fen arriving less than a meter in front of Caesar.
Caesar, whose eyes were closed all the while, suddenly felt tremors through his fair skin. As if a calm lake was disturbed by a stone, Caesar’s skin produced an indescribable ripple oscillation.
“Caesar, let me see how much progress you have made.” Qin Fen finished, raised his arm and turned his right palm to Caesar.
Qin Fen’s palm was slower than before, with the entire arm naturally sent out by the shoulder.
With his eyes closed, Caesar didn’t look at Qin Fen’s palm. However, the whole process of the palm technique was instead perfectly presented in his mind.
With the attunement of the mental and physical state over the past seven days, Caesar did not need to open his eyes for this moment. Just by relying on the martial senses accumulated to the brim, Caesar was able to sense everything, including the slight bouncing motions of Qin Fen’s shoulder muscles – one of the power sources of the palm.
Papapapa…
A series of true energy oscillations were performed within Qin Fen at high speed, like a bunch of firecrackers releasing during the Spring Festival.
Suddenly, Qin Fen’s palm muscles and skin started vibrating fast! Caesar’s ears heard the sound of water gushing out of an opened faucet as his face could no longer maintain his initial calmness.
This was no rupture of a nearby water pipe. Rather, the sound of blood flowing through blood vessels came from Qin Fen’s body as he moved his limbs. The gushing sound was produced by Qin Fen’s rapid squeezing of blood vessels within his muscles!
Once upon a time, Qin Fen was able to produce the sound of gushing blood only by transforming into something resembling a mythical legendary demon. If he could now do the same by lifting his limbs, how much did Qin Fen really improve over two months of inactivity?
The hairs of Caesar’s body stood up all of a sudden. This very palm no longer contained the past aura of sheer brute force, but rather a new aura capable of moving mountains and filling up seas just like a deity in mythology. The ability to exert such overwhelming force with a lift of a finger had led to the force of the palm strike equating to a massive mountain made possible through the inhuman powers of the deities.
Even the emperor of the human realm was unable to singlehandedly resist the overwhelming power of a mountain!
Caesar opened his tightly shut eyes all of a sudden and stared at his palms calmly, like an emperor enjoying the view of their great rivers and mountains. Finally, Caesar’s hands sprung into action as Qin Fen’s palms were closing on to his chest! As Caesar pressed his hands toward, he coincidentally locked his hands right onto Qin Fen’s wrist! As Caesar’s huge hands locked and twisted the wrists in opposite directions, his arms resemble a dragon in the pillar of ancient architecture, locking itself on Qin Fen’s arms.
A left, and a right! This was Little Dragon King, Yang Lie’s Shuanglong Pan Column! It successfully entangled the palm that was pressuring with the might of a mountain, and Caesar then applied downwards pressure to the palm!
Qin Fen’s eyes brightened up a little, “Not bad!”
As the three arms of these two men made contact, none of their clothing could withstand the huge twisting force. Sounds of clothes tearing apart resonated crisply across the area, with small pieces of cloth flying about at the gap between both of them.
Not a moment before the sound of tearing cloth came to a halt, the arms of both men collided like the crashing of high tides, creating a fierce sea tide echo as they clashed.
This sound wasn’t created by the muscle collision, nor was it produced by the impact of both forces. Rather, it was the sound caused by the rapid collision of true energy rapid oscillation between Caesar and Qin Fen!
As the arms entangled, Caesar clearly felt the terrifying frequency of power within Qin Fen’s arm – true energy seemed to have been condensed into thousands of steel needles, erupting in unison in a split moment!
Such a tremendous force of true energy oscillation! The true energy oscillating within Caesar’s arms dissipated instantly! His legs, unable to maintain the horse stance, began to retreat. He had retreated ten steps before he was able to stabilize his stance. Qin Fen halted his palm movements in an instant, firmly stopping it right in front of Caesar’s chest.
The young martial artists who just landed looked at Caesar quietly. His shirt was drenched with cold sweat, and they stood on a powdery path that was once blue bricks before Caesar’s hasty retreat.
There was a brief silence in the courtyard where even the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard.
Yang Lie lips twitched, but he didn’t express anything resembling a smile. There were a few drops of cold sweat surfacing on his forehead.
Qin Fen is too strong, right? Yang Lie did not wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, focusing on Qin Fen’s fixed palm as he shook his head repeatedly.
Caesar had actually completed the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth and entered the ranks of ten-star martial artists! It was rare to find martial artists possessing such talents, and even more so to find rivals of a similar caliber! To a degree where he was decisively defeated, more so than the previous fight with Qin Fen!
How… how is this possible? Yang Lie’s eyes twitched repeatedly, Although I knew that Caesar was unlikely to prevail in this challenge, I totally did not expect such a quick defeat!
Last time, when Qin Fen was also a ten-star martial artist that mastered the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, it was natural for him to have defeated Caesar, who at that time had not yet completed the Blood Transfusion Rebirth.
But this time, both were on an equal playing field – being ten-star martial artists and mastering the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth! Why was Caesar defeated in a blink of an eye in such a clear cut manner?
How did the battle become a battle between an infant and an adult?
Caesar lowered his head and gazed at Qin Fen’s palm that just halted barely in front of his chest, “Incredible! Your true energy oscillation is not only amazingly fast but also terrifying for the fact that you are able to maintain the limit of your energy passage while oscillating at that frequency! Swift and ferocious, I have much more to learn from you! It is no surprise that you are daring enough to boast that you can defeat eleven-star martial artists in a blink of an eye. If it weren’t for the overpowering true Qi possessed by the thirteen-stars, I’m afraid that you would have openly challenged them by now.”
Little Dragon King, Yang Lie gently applauded, leading the rest to do the same right after. Although the duel was short, it was still very amazing. Qin Fen’s fist was no longer the brute-natured fist from the past, but something altogether different – the huge aura power responsible for the overpowering true energy oscillation amazed everyone.
Brooks slowly walked over to both of them with his eyes assessing Qin Fen, “I thought that you only used these two months to solidify your foundation. I didn’t expect at all that these two months didn’t cause a pause on your momentum to improve yourself. Be it the harmonization of the aura, true energy oscillation, and comprehensive strength, you are clearly a cut above the rest of us.”
“Ah!” Little Dragon King, Yang Lie let out a long helpless sigh, “I thought I am able to close the power gap between you and I. It is really unexpected that you were already ahead of us, miles away in shaping your own world of Martial Dao and testing out comprehensive strength when we began to work on the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth. When we were with others, we felt an overwhelming sense of superiority. However, the more time we spend with you, the more I’m afraid that I’m going to lose my mind and give up on martial dao altogether.”
Everyone laughed while nodding their heads. Although the Little Dragon King exaggerated when he talked about having his confidence destroyed to the point him giving up on martial dao, Qin Fen’s rapid progress in his martial dao was undoubtedly beyond everyone’s expectations.
Qin Fen took back his palm as he turned around and bowed respectfully to a giant tree nearby, straightened his waist, nodded at it and said, “Thank you.”
Thank you ? Yang Lie, Caesar, and others were shocked at the same time, What is Qin Fen thankful for?
…
The huge tree was silent for a while, but spoke plain yet grateful words shortly after, “You… are pretty good.”
“Is someone there?” Yang Lie asked as he began to bolt for the tree at lightning speed with his dragon-shaped movement technique, only to be immobilized by a force resembling a lightning strike. There shouldn’t be anyone behind the tree, as there were no footprints at all at the origin of the sound.
Not bad? Qin Fen showed a faint smile while recalling the words told by the shadow when he left. Is Shadow praising him for his palm strike earlier, or was he praising him for managing to pinpoint his hiding spot?
He couldn’t know for sure. Qin Fen shook his head. This time he was able to pinpoint the location of the shadow. Apart from the earlier guidance by his drill instructor, a little luck was also vital in pinpointing the shadow’s location. Without that little luck, he wouldn’t be able to pinpoint the shadow’s exact location.
“Expert.” Yang Lie shrugged and jumped back to Qin Fen and said again, “Qin Fen, it seems that you have realized the martial dao of your own. Although there seems to be a sense of indescribable carefreeness in that shot, the real martial dao is, in fact, hiding that vast power under the façade of carefreeness, am I right?”
“Yes.” Qin Fen nodded. “Thanks to the information you shared. If Caesar is taking the martial dao of the Martial Emperor, then I’m going down the path of Divine Dao. Although God is only existent in myths, his spirit was however heartfelt and real from the countless traditions and reinterpretation by mankind!”
