Chapter 395 - Brave (2/2)

“Yes! Caesar is right, why are you third? Third should clearly be me.”

“Pooh! How could you be third? Mourad, you are fourth, third should be me.”

Ouyang Yan, Huang Fengwan and the others were stupified upon seeing this scene. What the hell is going on? How could this proud bunch be squabbling for third place?

Solomon withdrew from the shouting group and walked quietly to Fenghua Danyun. He didn’t even say anything, he just used his finger to point at himself.

Puff…

Qin Fen burst into laughter upon seeing this scene. At the same time, he looked at Xue Tian beside him. These martial artists, who were generally prideful and aloof and disinclined to even look at others, were not only in deep friendship but had also picked up the habit of talking more from Xue Tian due to the long term contact with each other.

“There is nothing strange about this.” Xue Tian waved his hand, again and again. “Young man, what’s wrong with talking a little bit more? Besides, they got together because of you. If anyone is the culprit, it should be you.”

“Qin Fen.” In the crowd, Yang Lie raised his head and shouted, “You decide who among us is third!”

The group calmed down instantly. One after another, the young True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth martial artists looked at Qin Fen.

Fenghua Danyun looked a little surprised. Obviously, these young martial artists are full of martial artist’s temper. Otherwise, they would not be as strong as they are today. If they encounter someone stronger than them among their age group, they will refuse to accept them. They would train hard, and then find a place to make a comeback.

Yet, they admire someone among their peers!? More importantly, they are talking his words as a criterion!? ‘ Fenghua Danyun couldn’t help but size up Qin Fen again, checking out what kind of demeanor he had for these people to acknowledge a young martial artist.

Qin Fen smiled bitterly. Almost… there almost wasn’t any gap between them. It was even more obvious from their constant spar with each other. If they truly fought with each other, elements of luck would be the fine line between the winner and the loser.

After a brief silence, Qin Fen locked his gaze on Brooks finally. This young man cheaply occupied more advantage than the others. He fought with Xue Tian whenever he was free. Although he was forced to flee in helter-skelter by Xue Tian, he still had more experience than the others.

“Theoretically, he should be third in a spar.” Qin Fen curled his lips. “At best, you still have to spar and see.”

“Since Qin Fen said you are the strongest.” Caesar nodded. “You are the seed player. When I learn some more martial techniques from Qin Fen, we will have a qualifying match.”

“Alright.” Brooks was eager to try. He looked at Ouyang Yan and the others contemptuously. “It’s boring to fight. Let’s fight amongst ourselves and decide first, second, third, fourth…”

“After seven days, what do you think?” Caesar swept a questioning glance at the other companions before receiving their nod of approval.

“After seven days?” Fenghua Danyun looked at Yang Lie. “Since you are about to start, how about we gamble?”

Gamble!? Caesar and the others smiled at each other. This sounded so familiar! This seems to be Old Qin’s signature dialogue before a fight. They had never expected to find someone with the same personality as Qin Fen in the Sacred Martial Hall.

Yang Lie smiled. Gambling! This kind of thing was really nothing for people who had been with Qin Fen for a long time.

“What do you want to gamble?”

“I will put a cup full of water on the back of my hand. When you attack, I will only use this hand to block. I will lose even if a single drop of water splashes out of the cup.” Fenghua Danyun thought for a moment. “Of course, since you are ten-star martial artists, I will only use ten-star level strength. If I lose, I will complete one request from you. But if you lose, you will train with me for seven days, what do you think?”

Yang Lie smiled. “I am not gambling. Qin Fen can also do this kind of thing. Your true energy oscillation must be stronger than Qin Fen.”

“Is that so?” Fenghua Danyun looked at Qin Fen, her eyes flickering with curiosity. “Let’s gamble on something else…”

“No need to gamble. After we finished fighting, I will train with you for seven days.” Young Dragon King – Yang Lie knit his burrows. “I also want to know how terrifying the so-called devil trainer is.”

Fenghua Danyun smiled. Her smile was filled with happiness. After the affairs of the martial arts fanatics, there weren’t many people like Yang Lie in the Sacred Martial Hall who would bravely step up to challenge her training.

Fenghua Danyun gently raised her index finger of the right hand and beckoned, “Come on.”

“Alright!”

Yang Lie’s face turned serious as he shouted aloud the response to the opponent’s words, as he wanted to forcefully suppress the invincible momentum created by the sole finger of Asura.

In the next moment, Yang Lie bent his knee slightly. His figure receded a bit backward as he employed the move, Divine Dragon Hiding Inside the Cloud. As he planted his feet on the ground together, shaking the ground, a loud bang came from the ground as if a high-speed car had crashed. Dragon Cannon had appeared once more!

Yang Lie decisively made his move at this moment. He circulated his true energy at high speed as his loud shout pushed his momentum to the zenith. A furious dragon roar resounded along with his attack immediately. God knows how many times this scene was bigger than the previous group fight.

Ouyang Yan gasped as he sucked in a mouthful of cold breath. He looked at Yang Lie’s Dragon Cannon with incomparable shock. To his dismay, this blow was strong enough to kill someone, there was simply no chance of escape!

More importantly, this blow was only a prelude. Yet it was strong enough to make anyone lose their will to fight once they saw it.

“Hey!?” Fenghua Danyun’s beautiful eyes flickered with a bright gleam. Not only is this young man far stronger than the others, but he’s also very rich in fighting experience. He knows that he should seize the momentum first. Also, there is a bloody smell in his kicks and punches.

He has definitely killed someone before! Fenghua Danyun’s beautiful eyes shone brightly. This guy has beat someone to death with his kicks and punches, and not just one. He has not been training foolishly, he knows that the ultimate goal of martial arts is to kill each other!

Fenghua Danyun wasn’t in a hurry even after having lost the opportunity. In front of such an opponent, there was no difference in seizing the momentum or not seizing it. Because…

Seizing the momentum wasn’t everything, momentum itself was everything! Looking at the battle through the binoculars, Qin Fen’s eyes bloomed with an ever-rising intelligent gleam. Fenghua Danyun’s understanding of the momentum and level of control is simply too high. Even if she is only using the same comprehensive strength as Yang Lie, the one who is going to be defeated will only be Yang Lie, no matter what

What is momentum?  Yang Lie was very clear on this subject, and after many rounds of discussion with Qin Fen, he realized even more. In the previous fight just now, he had completely controlled the situation.

However, at this moment, Yang Lie suddenly discovered that the was like a caged dragon even though his momentum was towering.

A dragon soaring to the ninth heaven under the vast and boundless sky. And yet, it was unable to catch sight of any target, none whatsoever. It was flying completely alone. If the almighty God could reach out, he’d pinch the flying dragon to death.

Suddenly, Fenghua Danyun’s shoulder moved a bit before her hand shot out fiercely as her slender jade finger clashed with the Dragon Cannon.

As the finger and fist slammed into each other, the air was blown away by the shock! Immediately, the sound of flesh and bones crashing into each other resounded, followed by a few crisp sounds of bones.

Hiss…

Yang Lie drew in a breath of cold air with a loud whistle. With his fist filled with the true energy oscillation from the opponent, the true energy and blood in his fist were vibrating. The subsequent sound sounded much like a heart beating, as if he was holding a beating heart in his fist.

True energy oscillation! What a terrifying true energy oscillation!  The corners of Caesar’s eyes twitched again and again. The true energy oscillation is so powerful that it is even causing the blood to oscillate, creating a unique source of vibration like a heart, which in turn is making the martial artist’s energy and blood to impact the real heart.

The heart was a blood-pumping machine in the human body. If the blood pressure forced the blood back into the heart, the heart may very likely be crushed from the pressure itself!

Qin Fen called this Hetero-Heart.

Yang Lie’s fist was in great pain but it ignited the battle intent in his heart. Even if he retreated in defeat, he didn’t want to have lost in just one second! Otherwise, how would he face his brother in the future?

He slammed his feet hard on the ground again as the left hand placed on his heart suddenly rotated at a high speed like a top. The muscles of his shoulder swelled fiercely as his left hand turned into a palm knife, thrusting at Fenghua Danyun’s throat!

Ha!

Fenghua Danyun broke into a happy smile. Immediately, her left hand’s index finger struck Yang Lie’s elbow.

Yang Lie’s elbow turned numb as the numbness spread across his entire arm in the blink of an eye. Even after having his dense tendons poked by someone so easily, he still didn’t lose control of his arm, which was already proof of his strong control.

The numbness was immediately followed by an excruciating bout of pain. In the blink of an eye, Yang Lie’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat. While suppressing the Heteroheart in his right hand attacking his heart, he also had to suppress the true energy invading down his tendons. And with this, he was no longer able to launch an attack.

“Your first attack was very powerful. As for the second one, it was good but it was pretty obvious. It wasn’t as good as the first.” Fenghua Danyun commented with a giggle. The very beginning, when Yang Lie’s Dragon Cannon crashed into her finger, her finger was bent a few times. Using just the strength of the ten-star realm to fight, she was unable to completely block that fierce power even though she was using high-level true energy oscillation to cheat. Just one blow had actually broken the first two lines of defenses of her two joints. The attack was truly stopped by the third joint only.

Yang Lie smiled wryly. Sure enough, my Hidden Dragon Palm is still not as good as Qin Fen’s Dragon Cannon. The instant he suffered the first blow, he managed to send a bit of nether true energy into the opponent’s body so that the opponent would not occupy a total advantage.

Hidden Dragon Palm… Yang Lie shook his head, smiling wryly. From the get-go, nothing was hidden from the opponent. It was found by her and broken and by someone of the same level no less. It clearly means that there are flaws in my martial skill. Otherwise, why would Fenghua Danyun, who had suppressed her cultivation at ten-star level, take the Dragon Cannon head-on and not break in the same way?

“You are very powerful for your age. Better than I was then.” Fenghua Danyun looked at Yang Lie and said, “However, the first move was not created by you. The second attack, however, seems like it was.”

Yang Lie moved the fingers of his right arm in pain due to the true energy oscillations. “You noticed this?”

“Hehe, of course.”

Fenghua Danyun knit her two beautiful eyebrows and exercised her finger a few times. She was still feeling pain when she used true energy oscillations. Furthermore, her bones were a bit dislocated when she was hit by the punch, which was even more painful.

“Nether Divine Art isn’t straightforward, firm, and fierce. It is still surprising that your punch could still burst forth with such aura of power. If it was someone taking the path of pure firmness and fierceness, this punch should be a lot stronger, right? When it’s creator created this move, he appeared to have a feeling of engulfing the world, which is different from your martial arts temperament. It must not be you.”

Fenghua Danyun raised her eyes, looking at Qin Fen upstairs. “Kid, you are the creator, right?”

Qin Fen nodded lightly with no intention of denying it. At the sight of this, Ouyang Yan’s throat moved up and down continuously as he gulped mouthfuls of saliva. To his surprise, this punch was created by a martial artist who wasn’t even nineteen years old!?

“I want to fight with you now.” Fenghua Danyun pursed her lips, she looked so cute and beautiful that everyone forgot that she was the Head of the Department of Martial Arts, Asura.

An aggrieved look flashed past Fenghua Danyun’s eyes immediately. “What a pity, it would not be fun to fight with you now. When you grow a bit stronger, fight with me then.”

Qin Fen sighed. I wanted to go down and fight now but this woman didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting at this moment. If I fight now, I’m afraid the effect would be greatly reduced and would be a bit boring.

Asura walked away and with Young Dragon King – Yang Lie, and their figures disappeared from everyone’s vision soon.

Qin Fen rested his arms on the window as a happy smile appeared on his face. The appearance of Asura conveyed a very useful message at the very least. The Sacred Martial Hall isn’t the holy land of martial arts in just appearance, there are real powerful martial artists here! Very good! For the first time since I’ve  started walking on the road of martial arts, I’ve made a correct decision.

Several magnetic flying cars appeared before everyone. Judging by the red cross painted on them, it was clear that they were ambulances of the Sacred Martial Hall.

Ouyang Yan, lying on the stretcher, looked at Qin Fen and said, “I admit my defeat this time. But this does not mean that this is over. There are powerful experts in Sacred Martial Hall. Also, there are seniors who have stayed in the Sacred Martial Hall longer than me. They will definitely finish this glorious tradition that you deserve.”

“Powerful experts!?” Qin Fen spread his hands. “Everyone is most welcome. One of my main purpose of coming to the Sacred Martial Hall is this.”

“Is that so?” Ouyang Yan smiled coldly. “I hope that you can maintain the same mentality when you’re lying on a stretcher like me.”
