Chapter 420 - The Most Demanding Battle Since the Special Training! (1/2)

Fighting with two of the fourteen-stars martial artists from the Sacred Martial Hall? You could only become a disciple of two heads of department after you won the fight.

Qin Fen used to only think that he couldn’t become the official disciple of two heads because of the Sacred Martial Six-stars. Today he knew of such conditions after he listened to Ferrero’s explanation.

Ferrero had kept quiet prior because he was afraid of affecting Qin Fen’s mood in the special training, which might result in him failing to do his best in it.

“Then we shall fight.”

Yang Lie and Caesar who stood beside Qin Fen casually placed their hands on his shoulder as they made the decision for him.

Ferrero was also very familiar with Qin Fen’s small team. They are a single unit together, sharing everything except their spouses. Since both Yang Lie and Caesar accepted the challenge, it was equivalent to Qin Fen accepting the challenge.

“It may be a duel, but you still need to be careful.” Ferrero’s two long and golden eyebrows revealed caution and suspicion, “In theory, fifteen-star martial artists will never lose to a fourteen-star martial artist. They should’ve already understood this especially when the power of the Sacred Martial Six-stars still belongs to our heads of departments. For them to request a duel nevertheless is indeed unusual.”

Qin Fen nodded slightly. The rumors of the Sacred Martial Hall had crowned Wu Zun as the strongest, closely followed by the Sacred Martial Six-stars. Their powers were still vested in the two Halls and six Departments. The challenging martial artist must’ve reached the power of a grandmaster, as it is unusual for them to challenge knowing a fifteen-star martial artist would almost always defeat a fourteen-star martial artist.

“Right, the time and place will be chosen by us. Because you were promoted to fifteen star-class…” Ferrero slid his index finger across the bridge of his nose, “The Sacred Martial Six-stars required that the venue of battle to be chosen by them”

“Making a fuss about the location?”

Several young martial artists’ eyes lit up as they suddenly understood the idea of the Sacred Martial Six-stars.

A duel between a fourteen-star class and a fifteen-star class martial artist would have the odds of winning tilting towards the latter. Especially for a monstrous opponent like Qin Fen, even martial artists of equal rank would find it difficult to defeat him in battle, let alone those below his rank.

Winning a battle had always been dependent on being at the right place at the right time with the right person. Qin Fen’s power far exceeded the fourteen-star martial artists and could be said to be in the “right time”. Therefore there was a need to handicap Qin Fen through stripping off his terrain advantage, placing him at the “wrong place”. Without these handicaps, Qin Fen would’ve easily won the battle before it even began.

“The Sacred Martial Six-stars also requested that two fourteen-star martial artists fight together.” Ferrero sighed, “You also know that promoting to fifteen-stars would make you qualified to learn the Wukong technique. I didn’t bring this up to you because of this very reason. Before you won the battle…”

“It doesn’t matter, I would get it after I win the battle, isn’t it?” Qin Fen showed a soft smile. The Wukong technique in the eyes of others wasn’t only a technique learned by a few, but a stringent technique that had high power requirements to be able to learn it.

However, this didn’t mean that Qin Fen had no way to learn the technique.

The moment he reached the power of a fifteen-star, the master told him about the Wukong technique.

The reason why Qin Fen did not immediately practice the Wukong technique was mainly because the flying speed of a fifteen-star-class martial artist wasn’t as fast as his sprinting speed.

Additionally, he hadn’t fully mastered the Martial Emperor Dragon Fist technique. If he were to forcibly cultivate the Wukong technique, it would become very difficult to correct the flaws of his movement techniques in the future.

“That’s good.” Ferrero nodded reassuringly, “Get some rest. I will meet with the Sacred Martial Six-stars tomorrow.”

Returning to his own room in Building One twenty-two, Qin Fen simply took a bath and went to bed without thinking anything about martial dao at all, only immersing himself in relaxation.

In the hall of the Invitation Department, Xue Tian leaned against the front desk and stared strangely at the female receptionist martial artist in front of him.

“Hey beautiful lady, did you say that Mr. Ferrero isn’t here?”

The female receptionist smiled sweetly, unable to hide her curious doubts in her eyes. The heads had never deliberately given orders on how to answer if anyone came looking for them when they were outside.

“Mr. Ferrero said he is very busy today, I am afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it in time, please come again next time.”

The female receptionist narrated Ferrero’s words with further doubts and confusion in her eyes. The receptionist thought of the embarrassed expression of Ferrero when he was leaving the message to her and wondered what really happened.

“Understood.” Xue Tian turned and scratched his head and walked outside the door, “Alright, please pass this message to Ferrero: I will come again tomorrow.”

The hall was restored to its initial silence. After five minutes, the female receptionist picked up the phone and asked, “Hello sir, Xue Tian has left. He said he will come again tomorrow.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Ferrero closed the badge communication tool. He let out a helpless smile and shrugged his shoulders as he felt the confused eyes of the Sakra opposite him.

“Can you go now?”

The Sakra stared at Ferrero with disdain. The one that never entered his office had appeared today. Yet, he didn’t talk nor do anything but only drank tea.

“Sakra, I would like to discuss something with you.” Ferrero put down his teacup and placed his elbows on the armrest of the sofa, leaning forward, “What do you think about switching rooms with me?”

Switching rooms? The Sakra’s right hand trembled a little while holding a cup of tea. Ripples began to form on the calm water as his stoic face displayed an unusual expression.

“Didn’t you hear it just now?” Ferrero said with slight embarrassment, “I am hiding from Xue Tian. I can’t take it anymore, suffering like this because of him.”

Sakra’s cold face turned into a gloating smile. Seeing Ferrero’s embarrassed expression was way better than beating him up personally, “What happened? Is he more talented than Qin Fen?”

“You can’t really put it that way.” Ferrero waved his hand, “Xue Tian and Qin Fen are both different types. Qin Fen is the type to work hard on something, only to apply it practically and creating something uniquely his own. Xue Tian, however, is like a giant sponge, absorbing and understanding all sorts of knowledge in a short time regardless of how complicated it is. All he does is learn but is not innovative…”

“Oh?” the Sakra raised his eyebrows with unexpected interest, “How fast?”

Ferrero’s face suddenly turned bitter, “Do you remember my ‘Thirty-Six Days of Sickle Sword Technique?'”

“Yes, I remember, it was good.” the Sakra gently raised his thumb, “The Seventy-two Earth Breaking Sword Technique was also pretty good.”

Ferrero’s body fell back to the sofa as he weakly lifted his shoulders, “In the past six months, he had visited me five times. The last time we met, I even taught him the Dual Swords Technique. And now, he’s come back for more…”

“What?” The tea from the Sakra’s teacup spilled slightly due to his trembling hands, “You said that he only spent half a year…”

“Yes, he spent half a year to learn the martial arts that requires a few decades for a lot of talented martial artists to learn.” Ferrero sighed helplessly, “If it keeps going on like this, I am afraid that I will have nothing to teach him one day.”

“Is he that powerful?” The Sakra looked at Ferrero with suspicion. It was not that he didn’t believe Ferrero’s words, but the story was just too ridiculous. Is Xue Tian’s ability even human?

Ferrero put his legs on the armrest of the sofa as he laid down on the sofa, “You don’t believe me? That’s fine. I will just stay here and you can stay at my place for a while to find out.”

The Sakra quietly left his seat and looked at the shameless Ferrero again before quickly leaving the room.

Ferrero smiled and stretched his body. Knowing him as an old opponent of his, Ferrero saw the courageous eyes of Sakra accepting the challenge. Ferrero felt that it was about time for Sakra’s confidence to be crushed by Xue Tian.

Did it matter even if it’s neo martial art? Neo martial art fighting also required knowledge of combat techniques. There was no reason for Xue Tian to be unable to pick up the combat skills of the Sakra.

In the Asura’s room, Fenghua Danyun stood in front of a row of quirky beakers, constantly mixing various medicines together while whispering, “A divine beast level martial artist from a Shura Holy Fetus. I can definitely cultivate one, personally train it into a divine beast martial artist! No! Maybe he can even surpass the divine beast martial artists in the future and become an even more powerful martial artist.”

In dozens of test tubes, weird liquids were constantly boiling, giving out a whistling sound that gave out weird feelings to people.

The Sacred Martial Hall on the surface went on as usual as the day went by with uneventful training.

The sun rose once again. Ferrero came to Qin Fen’s room early only to find that many people had already gathered in his room, including Caesar, Yang Lie, and the rest of Qin Fen’s entourage; Xue Tian was looking at Ferrero with a smile.

Ferrero saw a martial arts handbook written by Sakra in the hands of Xue Tian and coughed a few times to mask his embarrassment, only to be slightly shocked by Qin Fen’s face as he walked out of his bedroom.

Ferrero knew that Qin Fen’s appearance was not ugly nor handsome.

However, Qin Fen was very different today from the usual. Dressed in a black warrior suit that showed the outline of his fit body, his long and unkempt hair that had grown for half a year was tied up behind his head. Complemented with his heroic presence, Qin Fen felt like an illuminator of blinding heat.

Maybe the word “handsome” wasn’t the best word right now to describe Qin Fen.

But his masculine charm and aura had indeed deeply attracted others, even more so than the feminine-looking guys.

“Wow, you look nice.” Fenghua Danyun leaned on the door frame and assessed Qin Fen. Her watery pupils exuding a weird smile.
