Chapter 401: Strength of Ten Elephant and Wu Zun


Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales


His straight-as-sword eyebrows and twinkling eyes like stars, coupled with his well-featured red lips and white teeth, drew an inexplicable natural charm on his face. Even when he stood casually, with a height of one meter and eight centimeters with a symmetrical body, he gave the impression of having inexplicable perfection, whether in regards to his body or a martial artist’s temperament.


His handsome features gave the impression of a prince charming in the fairy tales. It was hard to believe that this Wu Zun was standing at the very apex of the Sacred Martial Hall’s martial arts pyramid!


Wu Zun! Also known as the strongest expert of the Sacred Martial Hall. He single-handedly created the legend of the holy land of martial arts in the Federation. In everyone’s imagination, this man had silver-white hair and snowy beard hanging down his chin, like the aloof immortals who had transcended mortality.


Yet he seemed like a young martial artist in his early twenties! Sakra Azia still remembered how shocked he was when he first met Wu Zun. Although he knew that when one had entered into the high realms in martial arts, he or she could maintain their youth by activating their cells, yet this almost immortal-like youthful appearance had scared the h.e.l.l out of him.


“Sir Wu Zun is out?” Ferrero turned his head and looked at the six stars of Sacred Martial Hall in the room, puzzled. In the past, almost everyone would be notified every time Wu Zun exited his seclusion. But this time, there was no news at all whatsoever. No one would have known that he had exited his seclusion had the camera not captured Wu Zun’s image.


The heads of other departments also cast dubious glances at the six stars of Sacred Martial Hall, hoping to find answers they sought.


“Don’t look at us.” The black Fiend Star continued to serve as the spokesman of the six stars. “This time, we, too, weren’t aware that Sir Wu Zun was out. If I have to guess, he must’ve just left!”


Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed in Sakra Azia’s mind. A sharp gleam flashed past his eyes as he shouted in a cold voice, “Asura!”


Everyone was slightly startled. A sudden realization dawned upon everyone. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this guess. Asura, who was the head of the Department of Martial Arts, had instinctive guts. If she said that she would go and disturb Sir Wu Zun’s secluded training, no one doubted the possibility of this matter.


The smile on Ferrero’s face grew bigger. Why would Sir Wu Zun exit his seclusion and rush to the freshmen’s lecture hall? It can only be for Qin Fen! The King of Scared Martial Hall had never broken his seclusion and made an appearance just for a freshman in the history of the Sacred Martial Hall.


Although last time a martial arts fanatic joined the Sacred Martial Hall, Sir Wu Zun didn’t happen to be in seclusion, Ferrero strongly believed that even if Sir Wu Zun was in a closed-door training and a martial arts genius as strong as a martial arts fanatic joined the Sacred Martial Hall, he may not have been able to move this Buddha to exit from his seclusion.


But today! Sir Wu Zun had exited from his seclusion! And today wasn’t the day for him to exit his seclusion. To everyone’s surprise, he had exited his seclusion earlier than it was planned! Ferrero’s entire body was shaking in excitement. To his pleasant surprise, Qin Fen had made Sir Wu Zun exit his secluded training just for him. This course of action was proof in itself of the value of Qin Fen!


Wu Zun!? Wu Zun! Even after having been in the Sacred Martial Hall for many years, Bai Sheng had never met Wu Zun. His eyes turned wet in the blink of an eye, staring at the G.o.d of Sacred Martial Hall on the screen…


So exciting! Bai Sheng proudly much wanted to look up and let out a long cry to soothe his rippling heart! Today, it seems like sending the invitation letter to Qin Fen that day was the most correct decision in my life!


Gao Yuan stared at Wu Zun on the screen and muttered in a daze, “Sir Wu Zun is not going to spar with Qin Fen, would he?”


Sakra Azia rolled his eyes at Gao Yuan. Sir Wu Zun is a man who keeps his promises; he does what he says. Since he says he wants to spar with Qin Fen today, then he will spar for sure.


The young martial artists in the lecture hall retreated one after another, giving Qin Fen and Wu Zun some s.p.a.ce. Only Samuele and the people with him didn’t back down. As the martial artists of Inner Sacred Martial Hall, how could they swallow being despised by a basic-type Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist, a kid of unknown origin?


Samuele gazed at the two martial artists separated by a distance of twenty meters as they faced each other. Only by breaking their each and every bone, hearing the sounds of their bones breaking and their subsequent miserable scream could the shame of being despised be vented.


Most of the martial artists in the lecture hall even slowed down their breathing, for the fear of disturbing this sudden battle. Ren Tiansheng, on the other hand, watching Qin Fen and the unknown young martial artist nervously, constantly wondered who and from where this young man had popped out from.


Disregarded! Disregarded! Disregarded! Samuele was unable to bear the anger of being disregarded anymore. He immediately lifted his right leg and took a step forward…


“Hmm!?”


The moment Samuele’s foot was about to enter their range, his right leg turned stiff immediately. Moving his foot started becoming strenuous as if an invisible force had stopped his foot from falling.


This…!? The moment Samuele realized his surprise, Qin Fen made his move.


Unlike before when he had obliterated Sammartino with just one move, Qin Fen squinted his eyes as his body muscles shook at the same time!


Immediately after, slow and powerful drumming sounds could be heard in the silent lecture hall. This drumming sound was coming from Qin Fen’s body. The sound of his heart pumping blood every time sounded like a battle drum on the battlefield. This sound was so powerful that it gave everyone an inexplicable pressure.


In the next moment, the sound of a turbulent river flowing resounded in the quiet lecture hall; the blood in Qin Fen’s body splashed constantly. His blue-green muscles bulged one after another, crisscrossing around his body, giving the impression of green snakes hiding in the gra.s.s, whereas his bones crackled like firecrackers again and again.


Dislocating the bones and propping the muscles! In the blink of an eye, Qin Fen turned into a two-meter and twenty centimeters tall demon king; his eyes flickering with a fierce gleam that could give ordinary person nightmares!


Qin Fen never had really made full use of his strength since the Nirvana Marrow Transformation. It was mainly because of his opponents. He hadn’t encountered an opponent who could force him to employ his full force recently. Even during the Three Bells of the Stone Arch, the fog bell was lacking.


Asura was qualified but Asura – Fenghua Danyun refused to fight.


Now that he had encountered such a strange young martial artist, the battle intent which Qin Fen had been suppressing for all these days completely broke out. At the same time, he wanted to see what level he had reached.


Ten-star peak! Ren Tiansheng stared at Qin Fen, flabbergasted. This is the strength of a ten-star martial artist!? How come I have never seen such a powerful ten-star martial artist in all my years?


“This…?” Bai Sheng was also taken aback. Qin Fen had grown so much stronger than when I saw him in the recruit tournament a few months back. Now, it was if he was a demon king who had crawled out of h.e.l.l.


Sakra Azia was shocked for the third time today in the blink of an eye. The blue veins of his temple visibly throbbed again and again. This sudden eruption of Qin Fen’s entire strength was indeed amazing! It was especially shocking when everyone realized that he was just a teenager.


Ferrero was pleasantly surprised. If he wasn’t worried about maintaining the demeanor of a head of a department, he would have already lied down on the ground and broken into laughter while clapping his hands. I have made a correct decision in trusting my subordinates this time. But it seems Qin Fen’s performances had not others happy. I wonder what Sir Wu Zun thinks of this Qin Fen?


Wu Zun’s star-like eyes flickered with a gleam of surprise again and again. He immediately took the stance of Playing Pipa of Tai Chi Fists; his entire body seemed loose and slacking as if it didn’t have any power, yet the strength of the ten-star realm seeped out from under his clothes.


Caesar was even more taken aback by this scene. He was also curious about where Qin Fen’s opponent comes from! Under Qin Fen’s current might, even he with the similar strength of ten-star realm was unable to remain calm, needless to say so relaxed that he was completely in his own world.


Brooks nodded in admiration. “Sure enough, the world is bigger than we think. There is actually a ten-star martial artist who can compete with Qin Fen…”


While Brooks kept showering his praises, Qin Fen had finished making his move.


The movements caused by Qin Fen’s move was extremely big. The entire ground shook just as the right foot of the Dragon Cannon stomped on the ground. Even the solid stumps were shaking violently. The distant young martial artists could feel a tremor pa.s.sing under their feet, feeling a bit unstable.


It felt as if they had been running at high speed on a treadmill but the treadmill had stopped suddenly. Their bodies were not able to adapt for a moment.


The worst of the young martial artists present were still seven-star martial artists. Their feet could be said to be rooted on the ground. So naturally, it would be impossible to say that it was unstable for them to stand. But this step of Qin Fen was in complete harmony with his vast aura of power. It not only shook the ground but fiercely impacted the spiritual world of everyone at the same time. And that was this impact which gave everyone the mistaken feeling that they could not stand.


At this moment, the ground around Qin Fen seemed as if a few hundred marmots were moving at high speed; the ground rose and fell fiercely.


Move the mountain and shake the earth! No one had expected Qin Fen’s one stamp to produce a similar aura of power of moving the mountain and shaking the earth.


In a flash, Qin Fen’s figure disappeared!


The true energy boost after the acc.u.mulation of all his strength gave Qin Fen enough margin to exert the strength of ten elephants from the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art through this step! Having trained the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants to the extreme, Qin Fen finally had the strength of ten elephants after countless fierce battles and nirvana.


How strong were ten elephants? Even an armored vehicle by knocked over for sure if it was in front of Qin Fen!


Using the strength of ten elephants to propel his body, Qin Fen’s speed could be said to be not much slower than an artillery sh.e.l.l. The seven-star martial artists could not even see his movements. When he appeared before Wu Zun, it truly gave the impression of an instantaneous movement.


Qin Fen’s charge was like a river flowing east with a momentum that was shooting through the sky! Wu Zun’s martial attire flapped against the wind as the wind generated from the friction between Qin Fen’s body and the air blew on Wu Zun’s face. It seemed that a strong gale would blow Wu Zun into the air completely.


Dragon Cannon! The same Dragon Cannon was far stronger than Young Dragon King, Yang Lie’s Dragon Cannon! This was the true Dragon Cannon!


At the sight of this Dragon Cannon that could even split the river asunder, Wu Zun’s eyes flickered with the joy of having sighted a prey. In neither fast nor slow manner, he placed his left hand on the back of Qin Fen’s fist and pushed his right palm towards the front of Qin Fen’s fist as he twisted every muscle and bone at the same time.


CRACK!


Wu Zun’s joint crackled at once as if more than a dozen people were rubbing and striking mahjong tiles with each other at the same time.


For a short while, Wu Zun’s every bone and muscle fiber drew a complete circle on their own axis, yet there seemed to be a faint connection and coordination with each other. He had reached the realm of extreme softness.


Nevertheless, it was still impossible to avoid the collision of bones and muscles the moment of Wu Zun’s palm and Qin Fen’s fist collided!


BANG!


The deafening sound of cannon fire rang in everyone’s ear. The ground on which the two people were fighting sank before a cloud of dust was blasted into the air. Immediately, everyone felt a tremor far fiercer than before running through the ground. The stumps rooted near the center of the battlefield could no longer bear the collision of these two forces and shot into the air like the cork stopper of champagne at a party.


Owing to the collision, the two figures flew out of the cloud of dust quickly. Before anyone could react, the two planted their feet on the ground to halt their retreat before flying into the cloud of dust almost at the same time. Immediately after, the thunderous explosions resounded once again. However, this time it wasn’t an explosion just one clash but several thunderous explosions in successions. It was soon followed by earthquakes and uprooting of tree stumps from the shock.


Having returned to the cloud of dust and noticing Wu Zun coming back, he pushed his left hand out as he clenched his fingers, blasting the air in between. It was still the most simple straight punch, smas.h.i.+ng towards Wu Zun’s head.


Wu Zun didn’t even spare a glance at the oncoming punch. He bent his neck slightly before he crossed his hands and pressed them down on Qin Fen’s stance of Hidden Dragon Palm which Qin Fen had learned from Young Dragon King, Yang Lie and subsequently modified.


The hidden dragon turned corporeal; the might of this palm disappeared instantly. Meanwhile, Wu Zun’s crossed arms wrapped around Qin Fen’s arm left and right like a giant python coiling around a cow and rotating, again and again. Much to everyone’s surprise, he wanted to break that thick as leg arm of Qin Fen!


Qin Fen’s eyes bloomed with a fierce gleam as he raised his lone arm up promptly! He lifted Wu Zun’s body high! Whether Wu Zun weighed a thousand kilograms or was an iron bridge, everything was nothing in the face of the strength of ten elephants!


Raising Wu Zun high, Qin Fen fiercely flung his arm fiercely towards the ground! He wanted to smash Wu Zun into the ground.


Wu Zun loosened his palms around Qin Fen’s arm with a shock and landed on the ground by borrowing the strength of this shock. At the same time, his waist and legs turned like a loach as he slipped to Qin Fen’s right side. Meanwhile, he made a crane’s beak with his five fingers before he pecked under Qin Fen’s armpit with a twist of his wrist.


Qin Fen jumped back with a twist of his legs as the Dragon Guard avoided Wu Zun’s Crane’s Beak. His left arm’s fist changed momentarily as his four fingers pierced through the air like the tip of a blade, giving rise to a whistle which sounded as if a steel spear was piercing through the air.


Vermillion Bird Spear Shot!


Wu Zun’s recognized Qin fen’s attack as a martial arts of Mars at once. It was a shaking spear art created by Vermillion Bird. Spear had always been used for a long-distance attack but Vermillion Bird had created a very closed-range spear technique. Qin Fen had learned it from Mourad, modified it and changed it into a spear technique suitable for bare-hand combat. Although it had changed a lot, the charm of Vermillion Bird’s shaking spear technique was still there.


This move was an attack using the entire strength at the smallest point; it was the best method to break the soft force.


Wu Zun furrowed his brows slightly as he sunk his waist in completely harmony with his legs as he used the Grasping the Sparrow’s Tail to push the spear body aside. Although this grasp wasn’t pressing on Qin Fen’s weak point, it still used the softness to mitigate the sharpness of Qin Fen’s shaking spear technique. When this thrust struck Wu Zun, instead of hurting Wu Zun he was. .h.i.t by Wu Zun’s attack; it was as if Wu Zun’s entire body was like a rubber ball.


As the power of the shaking spear technique was completely mitigated, Qin Fen retreated half a step before he used the Tiger Lunge with the roar of a tiger, once again.


Wu Zun’s eyes were all smiles. Whether it’s using advanced martial arts or basic-level Arhat Fist, this kid uses them at the most appropriate place and time. He is indeed a good seedling.


As Qin Fen attacked, again and again, Wu Zun’s eyes radiated with more and more excitement. He was completely determined to win this match by suppressing Qin Fen using only the strength of ten-star martial artist.


In the small s.p.a.ce, the two were attacking faster and faster. None of the two were bound with hardness and softness style; they were interchanging between hardness and softness as per the situation. It didn’t matter as long as whatever worked.


In just a short period of a few seconds, the earthquakes grew stronger and stronger. Dust, rocks, stumps all flew off the ground. The thunderous collision between their kicks and punches sounded like hundreds of lightning bolts had gathered at one place and exploded.


The young martial artists outside the cloud of dust were not able to see the battle clearly. Sakra Azia and the others had left the monitoring room a long time ago. They too weren’t able to make out anything from the rigid screen before them.


The heads of the departments stood on the higher floors, gazing at the fierce battle taking place inside the cloud of dust and smoke with rapt attention. Shockwaves of true energy spread in every direction. This was the strongest battle Qin Fen had ever fought since he started walking on the road of martial arts; his every combat cell was cheering in excitement.


Sakra Azia’s face grew uglier than before; his entire face was as livid as copper. To his surprise, Qin Fen’s combat ability was far better than what he had shown during the fog bell.


His control might be terrifying; having reached the peak of the ten-star level at such a young age may be terrifying, but it wasn’t as terrifying as his current combat ability. At this moment, Qin Fen really seemed as if he had been possessed by the G.o.d of War. Any move displayed by him was at the master level. Even Sakra Azia had no choice but to admit that Qin Fen’s combat stances were as natural as they could be.


“Mastery…” Ferrero couldn’t be any happier at this moment. He too had been taken aback by Qin Fen’s combat ability. To his surprise, a ten-star martial artist, who was no different than last in line, had really entered the realm of mastery.


Mastery!? A ten-star martial artist had entered the realm of mastery!? Ferrero shook his head again and again. Even a fifteen-star martial artist would be called a genius if he had entered the realm of mastery, but what to do with this kid?


Wu Zun’s eyes shone continuously. He had never been happy as he was in today’s fight, he had never been as helpless as he was today either. He had not won a single advantage in today’s fight. On the contrary, he seemed to be falling leeward slightly. It wasn’t that Qin Fen’s combat level had gained the upper-hand, but rather his strength!


Wu Zun was feeling a little miserable. Not only did he have to bear the pure brunt of the ten-star true energy of the opposite party but also had to bear the full brunt of Qin Fen’s strength which could kill an elephant easily with a single punch.


In the same ten-star level, Wu Zun didn’t practice an internal art of bitter work like Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. As such, his physical strength was far weaker than Qin Fen’s. Soon, it would become quite apparent that he had suffered losses by lowering his comprehensive quality to Qin Fen’s level.


“Since you are fighting with all your strength, I will not be hiding anymore either.” Wu Zun made up his mind in the blink of an eye. The true energy he had been hiding from the start erupted suddenly!


“Qin Fen lost…” Before Sakra Azia could finish speaking, a series of thunderous clashes resounded after a deafening explosion on the battlefield.


Several heads of departments exclaimed in low voice at the same time. Qin Fen, who had been at a disadvantage, erupted with a tsunami-like momentum. Suddenly, his palms turned into monstrous waves of tsunamis as he withdrew from the fight before launching a final counterattack under the disadvantage.


“Qin Fen indeed lost.” Ferrero shook his head in disbelief, again and again. “But Sir Wu Zun also seemed to have suffered a small loss. Can this be considered as Qin Fen’s complete defeat?”


Outside the cloud of dust, Qin Fen’s dispersed that fiend-G.o.d physique and gave a thumbs-up as he praised, “Thank you, you won.”


Wu Zun sized up Qin Fen with a strange look in his eyes. The final counterattack was indeed surprising. That was absolutely not an ultimate skill that could be created by a ten-star martial artist. Even this kid can’t create it with the foundation of his martial art.


“What’s the name of that move?”


“Raging Berserker Tide.” Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders. “That was my final ace in the hole but I still lost.”


“Raging Berserker Tide… what a good name! What a good combat skill.” Wu Zun nodded his appreciation. “Unfortunately, your current foundation is inadequate, your strength is also lacking. This fight wasn’t interesting!”


“It’s alright.” Qin Fen smiled happily. “I learned many things from this fight. Let’s fight again after I have digested it.”


“I guess, you are right. All the best, I am waiting for you to give me more surprises.”


Having said this, Wu Zun immediately turned around and made his way outside the lecture hall in a natural and elegant manner. Only, his sleeves and trousers of his martial attire broke this elegance; they were already tattered like a beggar’s clothes.


“He is strongest among the young ten-star martial artists.” Sakra Azia’s jaw moved unconsciously, his voice very low.


Ferrero heaved a sigh. “Be honest, can even an eleven-star martial artist beat him?”


The heads of various departments shook their head, smiling wryly. Let alone eleven-star martial artists, it would be difficult to find anyone in the twelve-star level who could be Qin Fen’s opponent. His martial arts foundation was so strong and unique that he could roam freely even in Sacred Martial Hall where geniuses were like clouds.


All the young martial artists were dumbfounded. Who could have thought that when the two young martial artists attending the lecture made their moves, they would have such fierce and terrifying destructive power?


Ren Tiansheng could not help but shake his head, again and again. It would be not a problem to beat Qin Fen if I fought using the strength of the fourteen-star level. But if I lowered my level to ten-star level and fought with Qin Fen!? No! Even if I lowered my level to eleven-star level, I would not be his opponent.


Others might not be able to see the fight clearly but Ren Tiansheng saw it clearly. In the fight, Qin Fen could turn any rotten technique into G.o.dly techniques. Whether it’s the Twenty-Four Simplified Tai Chi Fists or the Arhat Fists, he has used them quite frequently.


Samuele stared straight at the battlefield after the fierce fight. The ground seemed to have been plowed by a plowing machine. The stumps were lying on the ground. But why does it seem that it had weathered an air-strike?


How could a young martial artist who had just joined the Sacred Martial Hall be so powerful? Samuele kept asking himself the same question over and over again. Has he really just joined the Sacred Martial Hall? Is he really a basic-type Outer Sacred Martial Hall? I’m an eleven-star martial artist, but I’m afraid that I, too, will be defeated by him if I’m against him!


Qin Fen moved his shoulders as he turned his head towards Samuele and asked indifferently, “Excuse me, are you looking for me?”
