Chapter 447 - Gathering Energy Coagulating Aura Shield, Bring Aura Shield into the Body (1/2)
“Baengnokdam Destroyed, Hallasan Shattered. The Korean Martial God, Bae Seong-Joon was Killed in the Duel! Divine Boxing Destroys Neo Taekwondo!”
“The Martial Dao Master of the Neo Kyokushin Karate, Kyokushin Kouten was also Killed in the Duel! With the Defeat of the Sect-masters of Two Major Sects, the Popularity of Divine Boxing is Rising Swiftly Like a Comet!”
“With a Display of Power, the Mysterious Divine Boxing Defeated Two Major Sects Swiftly.”
In less than a day, the websites related to martial dao within the federation were filled with the headlines of Bae Seong-Joon and Kyokushin’s defeat and death.
In the evening, newspapers across the world placed the news of their defeat on the headlines on the front page. Some papers even extended this news piece toward the second and third section of the paper.
The demise of two martial dao masters wouldn’t have occupied such a huge section of the newspaper under normal circumstances, but the commentary that followed after from martial dao commentators across the world about the demise of the martial dao masters had made it so. Apart from their speculation on the defeat of both masters, the commentators were more interested in the speculation of what Divine Boxing actually was, and what kind of sect it was.
Behind this Divine Boxing sect, what forces were supporting it all along?
Few people did not believe that the origin of this mysterious Divine Boxing was that simple. More people were wondering if Qilin was unhappy with the rapid development of Neo Taekwondo and Neo Karate that encroached upon the Earth martial god’s territory, therefore sending an unknown disciple under the name of Divine Boxing to dismantle the two major powers.
Qin Fen’s name wasn’t displayed valiantly on the newspapers within the federation unlike the title of Divine Boxing. This was a mutual agreement between several divine beast martial artists within the federation. If a martial dao artist of the master level does not wish to reveal his or her personal information such as the name and appearance, no media in the federation would be allowed to disclose said information.
Qin Fen was injured in the fierce battle and returned to Tianbei City without making any actual contact with the media. At the same time, various speculations about Divine Boxing gave many martial dao commentators space for imagination to speculate further.
Across the State of Korea, white banners were hung at the front of every home. The heavy atmosphere of sorrow and depression filled the streets and cities.
From the television, images of the destruction of the peak of the Hallasan were replayed repeatedly, bringing more people to tears.
With the defeat of the Korean Martial God and the collapse of the peak of the Hallasan, two great pride symbols of the State of Korea disappeared overnight. The whole nation fell into mourning, as young people strapped strips of white cloth on their foreheads, walking silently into their martial arts halls and practicing techniques of Neo Taekwondo quietly.
Crying can only help in venting their emotions and nothing else. We can only regain our lost national pride and glory when we become stronger in martial dao! Neo Taekwondo of the State of Korea will not die as long as there are still Koreans alive on this earth! There was a glimmer of hope within the eyes of these young Korean martial artists.
The new Aikido from the State of Japan had expanded rapidly in just a day, annexing most of the Kyokushin Style karate dojos. The remaining Neo Kyokushin Karate dojos were also struggling to survive.
Most of the martial dao powers among the citizens didn’t know the person behind Divine Boxing. However, among the circle of the martial dao masters, Qin Fen’s name spread across the circle like a whirlwind to the ears of most martial dao masters.
A fledgling young martial dao master who was not over twenty years old managed to kill two martial dao masters within a day! Both opponents were also sixteen-star class martial dao masters that underwent the fusion of the level four biochemical beast.
Qin Fen held the morning paper and lamented for Kyokushin Kouten. That day during the battle of Hallasan, Hatoyama Kazuo displayed support for Kyokushin Kouten as a Japanese compatriot.
Right now, just shortly after the death of Kyokushin Kouten, Hatoyama Kazuo took over Kouten’s territory immediately without hesitation. Qin Fen sighed, thinking how birds of a feather flock together.
After a night of healing, Qin Fen recovered his body rapidly with the help of medicine, mystical art, and the biochemical beast.
When the sun rose from the horizon, Qin Fen’s body had almost recovered completely, with only some tiny meridians in his body remaining blocked.
Qin Fen had a general understanding of the current situation, and once again began meditating on his knees to clean up the clogged tiny meridians in his body.
After stepping into the realm of martial dao masters, Qin Fen had a deep understanding of the meridian in subtle areas. These meridians, which were usually inconspicuous, would cause harm to the body after a long time without cleaning. Apart from bringing upon illness, it might also impede the progress of martial dao.
The world of martial dao never lacked prodigies. Occasionally a prodigy may suddenly emerge, only to fade into mediocrity. This wasn’t because they weren’t talented in martial dao, but rather because they accumulated various inner and well-hidden injuries during their battles. The accumulation of these injuries would then impede their progress if they were not treated in time.
It took Qin Fen four hours to unclog the tiny meridians in his body to ensure that his True Qi Energy was flowing throughout his body smoothly. He then fell into deep thought afterward.
Recalling the battle of Hallasan and Baengnokdam, Qin Fen began to frown deeply. Although he went on a path of martial dao that was the stagnating divine dao, his path wasn’t a path of an uneducated peasant.
Recalling the moment after he killed Kyokushin Kouten and roared at Hatoyama Kazuo, although it was at the heat of the moment, the very action was indeed insulting and arrogant.
“Is it because I knew that I had someone to fall back on, with Master Sakra on the scene?” Qin Fen shook his head gently, “No, there was no such idea at the time. It was just the feeling of battle intent within the body increasing rapidly, causing the rise of True Qi Energy that led to the thought of challenging the neo Aikido right after.”
Qin Fen closed the eyes and sat down quietly, concentrated on recalling the battle at Hallasan that day. As the battle progressed, he reached the part where he faced Hatoyama Kazuo quickly.
Similarly, Qin Fen found that he was in a greatly damaged state at the time. However, his battle intent remained at its peak, as the biochemical beast that was deeply rooted within him became unusually active than ever. The beasts seemed to have extreme stimulus toward battle intent.
“This is…”
Qin Fen opened his eyes and looked at his hands that were raising slowly. He finally found the reason behind his reckless battle pride on that day. It was from the biochemical beast!
Like a rhizome, the biochemical beast was entrenched into his cells to imitate the meridian. During the battle, the beast seemed to be injecting stimulants repeatedly into the cells to keep him going.
Qin Fen also found that the speed of recovery of his own injury after the battle was far beyond his own calculations. According to the biochemical beast’s level two fusion data, the level two fusion biochemical beast might have a certain regenerative treatment ability, but the ability was relatively slow.
However, the help of the God-Demon Body in recovering the injured body was really amazing. Although incomparable to the biochemical beast level four’s extreme regenerative ability, it still far exceeded the official statistical data provided.
Besides the speed of recovery, the pressure that the bionic meridian could withstand… Qin Fen had to admit that his God-Demon body had exceeded the usual statistical expectations.
During the fierce battle with Kyokushin Kouten, Qin Fen had initially planned to use all his power without regard to the consequences, to mortally injure Kouten under the advantageous position Qin Fen held to defeat him.
“God-Demon Body, wasn’t without its side effects as Lin Shao claimed.” Qin Fen laid on his bed, “The boost may be able to stimulate the user to fight more ferociously, but the downside of the boost is also obvious. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the stimulation, to the point…”
Qin Fen clenched his fists and stretched his body, “During yesterday’s battle, I fought like a mad demon like those seen on television. This God-Demon body may help me in improving my Divine Boxing powers when I’m conscious, allowing me to display my demonic side at later stages of the fight… my demonic side…”
Qin Fen closed his eyes again and asked himself, “Is my martial dao limited only to the divine dao?”
