Chapter 402: Realm of Mastery
Samuele stood calmly on the ruined battlefield, gazing at the tattered Qin Fen’s martial attire. His calm expression brought out an inexplicable handsomeness.
“Do you want to exchange pointers?”
Qin Fen’s voice seemed to be coming from the ancient battlefield. Suddenly, Samuele was hit with a chill. Exchange pointers!? Are you kidding me? Exchanging pointers with you isn’t just a matter of losing my face if I lose, neither it is as simple as being sent to the hospital, if you are distracted just a bit in the fight, a single punch can take my life right then and there.
Martial artists weren’t afraid of death but their death should also have some meaning. Samuele didn’t see any value in dying in a spar with Qin Fen.
Sammartino’s lips twitched uncontrollably to the point that they were actually making smacking sounds. Is his kid really a basic-type outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist who has just joined the Sacred Martial Hall?
The rest of inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists too were devoid of that arrogance of superiority which they had when they first came. Each of them was staring at Qin Fen with an ashen look on their faces; they could utter or think anything for a long time. A young martial artist who had just joined the Sacred Martial Hall is actually so strong. Not to mention the freshmen inner Sacred Martial Hall, even the first year, second year or even the third year inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists would not occupy many advantages before him.
The other young martial artists in the quiet lecture hall were waiting for Samuele’s reply. Qin Fen’s furrowed his brow slightly as he swept a glance through the other inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists and said indifferently, “If you think you can’t defeat me one-on-one, you can come at me together.”
The lecture hall sunk into pin-drop silence!
All the young martial artists had their attention on the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists. If the basic-type outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist, who had just entered the Sacred Martial Hall, was just as arrogant and rampant as before, any inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist would come to teach him in rage.
But today, after having seen the fight, Samuele didn’t feel that Qin Fen was arrogant at all. The plain and simple tone sounded like it was a very normal thing.
Together!? Sammartino was extremely clear that even if the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist attacked him together, it was just a side dish to Qin Fen, nothing more than a stepping stone.
Hesitation, the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist had never hesitated like today. The young martial artist before them was a super-level existence.
Samuele stared at his younger brother with hatred. If it wasn’t for this kid, how could I fall into this dilemma today?
Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders and raised his leg as he took a step forward…
Swish!
Samuele kicked the ground with his toe fiercely as his body flew back a few dozen meters. He was staring at Qin Fen with vigilance, his face pale.
Just about the same time, other inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists hastily retreated, one after another. Immediately after, they took defensive or offensive stances as if they Qin Fen was their enemy.
“Haha.” Qin Fen broke into helpless laughter and shook his head. These people are so terrified that I just took a casual step, haven’t had any intention of making a move on them, but it made them hastily retreat. They can’t even make a basic judgment whether the martial artist was going to fight or not.
“Hahaha…”
“No way!?”
“So funny…”
After a silence of a few seconds, the young martial artists in the lecture hall burst into laughter, one after another. Much to their surprise, the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists, who usually walked with a domineering attitude, chin up and chest out, jumped back in scare from Qin Fen’s single advance. Never had any inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist had lost face in such a way.
Samuele felt his cheeks burning. Had he not been of losing to Qin Fen, he would have taught these young martial artists who were laughing at him.
“Trash.” Sakra Azia declared coldly. “How can such a guy enter the inner Sacred Martial Hall.”
Ferrero nodded his acknowledgment, again and again, “Such people are indeed ineligible to enter the inner Sacred Martial Hall. However, you can’t blame them. Qin Fen had just fought with Wu Zun. Aren’t you and I shocked as well?”
“Hmph!” Sakra Azia let out a cold snort and said, “If it was me, I would have still fought with Qin Fen even if I was as powerful as him! Martial artists can lose a battle, can die in a battle, but then can’t do what he did, never, ever! The martial artists should have the bones of a martial artist.”
Ferrero raised his thumb. “Therefore, you are one of the six departmental heads. Those kids can never reach your level in their lives.”
Sakra Azia waved his sleeve before his figure disappeared from the rooftop. The battle had already come to an end. Having seen Qin Fen’s performance today, he had no choice but to admit that Qin Fen was very outstanding, even if he was in a hostile position.
“Qin Fen…” Samuele took a deep breath. The panic in his eyes was gradually replaced by nervousness. The pride of inner Sacred Martial Hall returned to his face. “I must admit, you are very good. But it doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want rampantly. There are many experts in inner Sacred Martial Hall. They will come next time! They will be enough for you! Today, I admit my defeat, even if we attacked you together, we will lose. Bye!”
The inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists cupper their fists together before they turned around and disappeared from the lecture hall.
Qin Fen smiled and shook his head even more helplessly. Rampant!? When have I been rampant? It has not even been two days since I came to the Sacred Martial Hall and I have been on the other end of the challenge! My goal may have been to see and experience the martial arts of Sacred Martial Hall from the start, I had even planned to challenge others one after another, but I had not even started.
The young martial artists quickly gathered beside Qin Fen. Before he even had the opportunity to resist, they picked him up and threw him into the air.
Although their contracts were divided into equity and basic-type, they were all outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists at the end of the day. All of them had been suppressed by the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists to the point that they could not even lift their heads before them. But now that a comet-like young martial artist had suddenly appeared, how could they not be excited?
“Qin Fen, you are very strong!”
“Yeah, how can you be so strong!”
“Do you have any secrets?”
Facing all kinds of questions from everywhere, Qin Fen didn’t know how to answer for a while.
“What kind of question are you asking? How can you lots compare to my Master? All of you step back!” Relying on the strength of the fourteen-star level, Ren Tiansheng pushed the young martial artists aside and said, standing before Qin Fen, “Your foundations are very shallow. Come again when you have practiced the first-level of true energy oscillation! Advanced martial arts aren’t suitable for you currently.”
In the face of the majesty of the lecturer and the strength of the fourteen-star level, the young martial artists could only back off.
The vicious look on Ren Tiansheng’s face was replaced by a huge grin as he turned to Qin Fen in the blink of an eye. “Master, let’s talk somewhere else. It’s too messy here.”
Master!? Qin Fen looked at about forty-years-old, fourteen-star martial artist and sighed, again and again. A ten-star martial artist becoming the teacher of a fourteen-star martial artist!? This world is going crazier and crazier.
“Qin Fen.”
A not so clear voice rang from outside the crowd. Qin Fen perked his ears as his eyes flickered with joy of meeting a friend.
Bai Sheng’s voice! Qin Fen still remembered. This is Bai Sheng’s voice! Bai Sheng, who gave me incomparable advantages stealthily, when he invited me that day! He may not have heard this voice many times, but he could not forget it in his life.
A simple thank you is not enough for a gratitude that can never be repaid, it should be etched in one’s heart forever! Qin Fen threw his arms open as he ran towards Bai Sheng in large strides before greeting him as a junior should to a senior, respectfully.
Although martial strength was an important aspect in the world of martial artists; someone who was addressed as a senior by many martial artists two-three years back may be addressed as Old Bai when the other party’s strength caught up, and Little Bai when the opposite party had surpassed him…
Qin Fen didn’t want to do such a rude thing. Some graces were worth remembering for a lifetime. Bai Sheng had intentionally gifted him the Book of Wu back than. That was precisely that kind of grace.
Not to mention he was just a ten-star martial artist today, even if he had the luck to reach the divine-beast level in the future, Qin Fen belied that he would always treat Bai Sheng as a senior with a respect which he deserved.
This!? The young martial artists were stunned. Ren Tiansheng stood dumb in his place, even more so. Bai Sheng isn’t a fourteen-star martial artist, neither is the foundation of his martial art any better than Qin Fen. Then, why is Qin Fen so polite to him?
“Senior, long time no see.” Qin Fen slowly raised his back as he asked him with a smile on his face, “How have you been these days?”
Bai Sheng was also stunned. A hearty grin occupied his the corner of lips and eyes quickly. Although given face by such a young and outstanding hero, what truly made him happy was that it came from the bottom of Qin Fen’s heart.
“I’m fine.” Bai Sheng nodded with a smile constantly. “You look fine as well. I have been waiting for you to come here for a long time. I thought you were not going to come.”
Bai Sheng continued, punching Qin Fen’s shoulder lightly, “Kid, I came to talk to you about two things.”
