Chapter 592 - Who Will be the Lord (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Qilin Peak wasn’t a name dedicated to a fixed place. Rather, it was the peak where the Earth Martial God, Song Wendong resided.
On the peak of a verdant mountain was a small stone house, lacking in magnificence. It gave off the feeling of proud loneliness. As the strongest martial artist on Earth, he was lonely, but not many people could understand this loneliness.
Qin Fen, landing the plane slowly at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the majestic Qilin Peak before raising his feet towards the first step leading to the top of the mountain.
The simple stone house stood quietly there. Ordinary people would not pay much attention to this stone house if they saw it but it gave another feeling to martial arts experts.
Although this small stone house wasn’t magnificently decorated in any way, it was more regal and greater than the ancient forbidden city of Shengjing!
With a steady stride, Qin Fen stepped on the last step leading to the stone house.
CREAK… The worn hinges of the stone house’s wooden door made a harsh grating creak.
The dark room didn’t detract Song Wendong’s skyrocketing aura of power in any way.
This time, Song Wendong didn’t punch Qin Fen down the mountain with his fist energy like how he had done when Qin Fen had climbed the Qilin Peak to propose marriage.
Today, Qin Fen was no longer a fledgling martial dao master. He was a genuine grandmaster of martial arts valuable in the Federation, someone who could spar with Wu Zun and come out unscathed. If he wasn’t a martial arts grandmaster, then only a few people in the Federation were qualified to be called martial arts grandmasters.
Song Wendong, carrying his hands behind his back and sizing up Qin Fen up and down with his pair of tigerish eyes, said calmly, “The progress you’ve made is not small.”
“Mhmm.” Qin Fen replied, cupping his fist and bending his waist, “I came here for two things.”
“Two things.” Song Wendong was a bit taken aback. Is there anything else other than learning about martial dao?
“First, I want to see Qilin’s unique energy.”
Song Wendong raised his eyebrows as he pursed his lips into a sliver of a self-deprecating smile. Who would have thought that Song Jia would have better eyes than me? Over these years, Qin Fen has come all the way and touched the barrier of unique energy already.
“The second thing.” Qin Fen withdrew his cupped fist and straightened his slightly bent waist slowly. “I want to be a divine beast martial artist.”
At this moment, Qin Fen’s aura of power was like a cyclone circulating in a counter-clockwise direction. An extra aura of power that could crush everything had emerged in Qiling Peak!
Song Wendong’s pupil that had never shown any signs of changing all these years constricted suddenly. Divine beast!? He wants to become a divine beast martial artist!? He wants to be the first to become a divine beast martial artist before the Great Ensemble!? What a spirit! This is really surprising!
“Too many people are claiming to the best in the younger generation.” Qin Fen, carrying his hands behind his back, continued slowly with a calm look on his face, “Whether it’s Shangguan Chuanqi or Young Hades or Furious Beheader Xue Tian, all of them are outstanding heroes. Between us, I’m afraid neither one of us will take the initiative to challenge another.”
Song Wendong agreed with Qin Fen’s words and nodded gently. All four outstanding young martial artists believed themselves to be the best in this generation!
Where in the world would the strongest person in the world challenge the people under him? A real expert would stand at the peak and wait for others to come and challenge him!
Challenging others was tantamount to weakening one’s momentum first! Shangguan Chuanqi had never challenged other younger martial artists of his generation after becoming a legendary martial artist on Mars. He had always regarded himself as the best of this generation.
Hades had fought with Qin Fen but that wasn’t a challenge; it was a matter of killing one man according to Song Wendong’s will, nothing more.
As for Xue Tian, despite his usual carefree look, the thought that he was the best of this generation was ingrained in his bones. It was difficult for someone without such thoughts to be standing at such heights.
Suddenly, Song Wendong came to envy Qin Fen. The road of past martial artists was brilliant but it was never been brilliant.
Each and every one of the four would have deserved to be first in any other previous martial arts era. But they were born in the same generation, which was envied by the martial artists of other generations.
“Since no one will challenge anyone, I will walk to the end of the divine beast road first.” Qin Fen raised his head slightly, looking at the sky. “I believe that the other three are also thinking the same!”
Song Wendong smiled but said nothing. People standing at the same height sometimes had similar ideas. Not long ago, Shangguan Chuanqi had sent a letter stating that he would be coming for a spar and pointers sometime in the near future, but who would have thought that Qin Fen would arrive first.
“So… let’s get started.”
Just as the voice fell, Qin Fen stamped his feet and took the simple stance of drawing a bow before using the mid-range Tiger Lunge. His fist corked through the air, giving rise to a roar. Immediately, the entire Qilin Mountain echoed as if hundreds of thousands of tigers were roaring at the same time. The leaves and branches of thousands of trees shook again and again.
Song Wendong leaned his upper body slightly to one side, dodging the punch as his right hand pressed on Qin Fen’s fist while he pushed his left hand forward along the momentum! And using the Parting the Wild Horse’ Mane of the Twenty-Four Simplified Tai Chi Fists, he thrust it straight into Qin Fen’s armpit! The usual soft boxing technique was as swift as lightning at this moment. His arm was like an unstoppable spear killing through an army of ten thousand troops.
