Chapter 582 - Half a Month = Half a Year (1/2)

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Bold and powerful? Du Peng appeared in the battle stance as the new human being. With his current appearance, as long as his opponent was not blind, they would be able to feel his boldness and power immediately.

With the bulked-up muscles and the shiny scales, Du Peng looked like a general in his soft fitting armor. This was the Dragon Type that was claimed to be the strongest among the battle types of new human beings!

Qin Fen looked at Du Peng, who was cursed by misfortune. He was secretly happy for his comrade, as they had been friends since both of them were still rookies in the military. He had only just become a new human being for a short period of time, and Lin Liqiang’s team had yet to do enough research on new human beings. Perhaps they would have to wait a little longer for Du Peng and Lin Liqiang to study and find out together about the Dragon Type’s special abilities.

Boom! Du Peng clenched his dragon claws and compressed the air around his palm. It sounded like a car tire had exploded. He stared at Sakra, “This is my strongest! Let’s get started!”

Lin Liqiang was excited as he was concentrating on the upcoming spar. This was the first time Du Peng fought in his Human-Dragon battle form since he was converted into the new human being and discovered that he was a Dragon Type.

Sakra stood still like a towering mountain. With the strength of a Sacred Martial Hall’s head of department, he didn’t need to get into any battle-preparing stance when he was faced with the sixteen-star apex-level Du Peng, regardless of whether Du Peng was in the so-called Dragon Type battle stance of the new human being or not.

Purple electricity that was visible to the naked eyes intertwined and entangled around Sakra’s body, forming an electric armor around him.

These electric sparkles didn’t look thick at all, but no one dared to take it as weak electricity. It could be regarded as the strongest electric web in the Federation.

Du Peng was faced with perhaps the world’s strongest bolt user of the electric neo martial art. He wasn’t being polite with Sakra at all. He let out a dragon roar that shattered all the glass in the room. He then stomped the ground continuously with his feet, and it felt like a few hundred metal piles were hitting against the ground. His strength ran from his waist to his back as he stretched his body like a dragon and his arm was extended like a sky-scraping spear. He executed a style of Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Firm and Fierce, reaching straight for Sakra’s vital point in his chest.

Firm and fierce! Tyranny! Qin Fen suddenly widened his eyes, sighing secretly in his heart. No wonder Lin Liqiang claimed that Du Peng will be invincible in any battle between him and any other sixteen-star martial artist. Du Peng has more of the dragon aura than the Little Dragon King Yang Lie. To be able to master both the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder and the Phaseless Water Bird, a cultivator has to meet several strict conditions regarding their physique. Even someone as talented as Du Zhanpeng failed to cultivate these two martial arts together. Du Peng, after he has gone through two misfortunes in his life, finally nailed these two martial arts and successfully forged them into one divine art!

Du Peng as a sixteen-star martial artist with Humanity Aura Shield, and with his dragon body as a new human being, executed his attack with ultimate strength. He integrated the slicing skills of the Phaseless Water Bird into the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder’s styles. If anyone misjudged his martial skills to be simple explosions hitting against the bod and tried to block his incoming punches, they might end up with sliced up limbs.

In the small room, Du Peng had already reached Sakra, roaring! Sakra, who had never actually shown his strength in front of Du Peng, took a step forward and lifted his arm horizontally in front of his chest like an iron bridge. The electricity that was like metal chains wrapped around Du Peng’s arm like spider webs. Du Peng felt himself being pulled forward by a strong force that threw him off balance. Sakra clenched his fingers into a fist and struck down a style of Thunder God’s Hammer in the midst of electric shocks.

Before Du Peng completely lost his balance, he quickly stepped his left foot firmly onto the ground and lifted his right knee; his whole body looked like a big bow clashing straight with Sakra’s Thunder God’s Hammer with only the power of sixteen-star.

As the two huge forces collided with each other, Sakra switched from the hammer to a sword. A beam of electricity shot out from his sword fingers and penetrated Du Peng’s lower abdomen from a short range. The pungent smell of burnt meat filled every corner of the room. Sakra kicked Du Peng in his lower abdomen with his right foot, kicking him into the air, sending him flying backward.

His techniques! Du Peng laid in the ruins after his body broke through several walls. He looked up at Sakra. So this is the true strength of a Sacred Martial Hall’s head of department. It was clear that the sixteen-star, Dragon Type Du Peng who went berserk was stronger than Sakra. However, he lost to Sakra’s skillful martial techniques in an instant.

Qin Fen looked at Sakra’s martial techniques and nodded gently. This was the advantage of the seniors. They may not have an impact as strong as the younger generation of martial artists, but their experience, techniques, mentality, and reactions were far better than the younger generation.

If he wished to defeat Tagatha, it wouldn’t be enough even if he were to acquire the Celestial Aura! He not only needed to kill Tagatha, he also had to fight for the world’s number one title in the Great Ensemble within half a year’s time!

Sakra looked back at Qin Fen and said calmly, “I’ve demonstrated what I wanted to tell you with all my moves just now. Find me a room…”

He said he has demonstrated everything he wanted to say, so what he meant must be his techniques. Qin Wen bowed gently to him. Despite the fact that his strength was above Sakra, Sakra was still his master! The demonstration just now was out of a master’s concern for his disciple.

Du Peng had already left during their conversation. He had gotten the conclusion and experience that he wanted from the battle just now. It would be a waste of time if he were to stay there any longer.

Compared to other people, Du Peng’s star-level strength was the weakest and his time was the most pressing among all. He wouldn’t want to waste even one second of time.

Qin Fen helped Sakra and Ferrero to settle down. He breathed a long sigh of relief. Watching dozens of soldiers nervously picking up the ruins caused by Du Peng, he made a decision.

Seclusion! He would start seclusion longer than all other seclusions he had in the past! The seclusion this time had only one purpose: to meet the masters. He needed to meet with Zeng Yicheng, Zong Juelu, and the others to have special training that he had never been through before.

Seclusion was nothing strange to martial artists. Almost all martial artists would choose to go into seclusion if they realized they were on the verge of a star-level breakthrough. This was true even for civilians who were not hardcore martial artists, or an office worker who didn’t really enjoy their work. Literally everyone would choose to go into seclusion to achieve the breakthrough if there was hope for them to improve their martial dao star-level strength.

The Federation was being openly supportive of everyone practicing martial arts. They had even listed a clause in the Federation’s constitution that required all working organizations to provide unconditional support for those employees who were seeking for a star-level breakthrough through seclusion. They should also be granted with paid holidays. If any organizations were to go against this clause, there would be a penalty with the amount of a hundred times their salaries.

The Constitution was the highest law in the Federation. Those organizations operating under the divine beast martial artists were originally supportive of everybody practicing martial arts. Other companies dared not do something that would violate the Constitution.

Since Qin Fen had embarked on the journey of martial artists, he had been through many seclusions. Sometimes he secluded himself in a small space, sometimes he would put everything down and just travel around freely.

Seclusion did not necessarily mean confining oneself completely in a small space. The word seclusion was referring to mental seclusion rather than physical seclusion.

What Qin Fen wanted to do this time was complete seclusion. Both mental and physical seclusion; thorough seclusion; a long-term seclusion.

Long-term seclusion needed to be sustained by some special means. Qin Fen did not want to be woken up by hunger when he was in seclusion and in the strange space. He didn’t want to be disturbed when he was fighting those masters.

He was still a human even though he had very strong martial strength; he needed to consume food too. Even a martial artist with the Celestial Aura needed life-sustaining nutrients.

A special nutrient solution tank and an oral-nasal respirator. Lin Liqiang had customized these life-sustaining machines for Qin Fen.

Qin Fen took off all his clothes, revealing his strong and slender muscles. He laid down peacefully inside the special machine, and he looked very calm.

Inside the deep, dark, and borderless space, Qin Fen floated quietly in this special spiritual space where he couldn’t plant his feet onto the ground.

After seeing the Founding Society’s technology and the research on space technology, Qin Fen admired Atlantis’ technology more and more. Atlantis could create a special spiritual space that the Founding Society could not.

It was strange; the special space was changing rapidly, and colors appeared around him. Green filled every single corner of the space. At first glance, he thought that he had once again entered Pandora, the dimension that was opened by humans. However, when he looked closely, he saw that they were very different from the plants in Pandora. Qin Fen had never seen any of the plants he found here.

A loud roar sounded suddenly. Qin Fen looked around for the source of the sound. He could feel the dangerous aura through his skin; it was the same feeling as when an ordinary person walked in the wild and suddenly had a pack of wolves appear behind them.

In the dark woods, a sudden sparkle could be observed. Qin Fen wasn’t surprised when he met with the figure of light floating in front of him. The emotionless figure of light explained something to Qin Fen with his ever frozen, unnatural tone, “Simulated survival game. Your physical body will die too if you die in here. Please try your best to survive on this planet that was once discovered by Atlantis during their star trek.

The planet that Atlantis had discovered? Qin Fen didn’t have time to ask more questions. The figure of light disappeared as soon as it appeared.

Qin Fen walked quietly under the huge plants that he didn’t know the names of. He saw an apple-like fruit that was the size of a villa, hanging down from a towering tree’s branch.

The growth of plants in any region was usually determined by the other creatures in the area in which they were located. After seeing such a huge apple, Qin Fen faintly felt that the creatures he was about to face may have an unprecedentedly large size.

Trees not far from him were shaking. Qin Fen saw a huge and strong body that was as tall as a multi-story building. It would only take a gentle whip of its thick tail to snap a thick tree.

A dinosaur! Qin Fen looked at the absurd creature in front of him. It turned out that dinosaurs existed even on other living planets during the era of Atlantis.

The dinosaur, which was a few stories in height, opened its mouth and roared into the sky. It went berserk and ran forward as if it had not seen Qin Fen, who was blocking its path.

It’s scared? Qin Fen read some surprising information from the small eyes of the dinosaur. Why would such a huge creature be frightened of something? In the era of dinosaurs on Earth, dinosaurs were the overlord of that era! The one-and-only lord. However, the dinosaurs here are frightened?

“Au au au au…”

Behind the dinosaur, some other creatures let out a few roars that sounded wild and excited in a rhythm. It was a group of creatures that looked similar to humans. They walked upright, had four eyes on their head, two in the front, and each on the left and right. They had blue skin and a tail on their back. They were two meters in height.

Compared to the dinosaur’s size, these ‘living creatures’ that were riding on some boar-like creatures were relatively very tiny in size. However, it was this tiny creature that was chasing after a fleeing huge dinosaur.
