Chapter 52: Lord Turbulence
Translator: Strivon Editor: Strivon
“Your society should have developed gravity chambers by now, right?” The man proposed, “Go there to practice your Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.”
Gravity chambers? Those were equipment specifically developed for martial artists. They were places to train the inner organs and increase the speed of strengthening one’s true energy.
Someone weighing seventy-five kilograms might be able to lift something weighting a hundred and fifty kilograms with the help of true energy. This was possible based on sheer muscle, but that didn’t mean that the same person could endure a gravity chamber of two times gravity!
A person who could lift two times their body weight still had a weak heart. If they were to go through two times gravity, their inner organs would immediately explode and they would die.
Gravity chambers were places where the pressure to the inner organs could increase by three fold!
Martial artists could temper the muscles of their bodies to be tyrannically strong, but it was hard to temper the inner organs. However, the truly powerful possessed strong hearts, and the stronger the heart, the stronger the body would become. Within fights on the same level, those with strong bodies often held the upper hand.
In gravity chambers, the martial artist used his true energy to protect and temper his heart and inner organs while circulating his true energy in execution. This caused his true energy to grow even faster.
“Oh right! Let me remind you of one last thing.” The man’s expression was incomparably serious, “There will be someone else teaching you tomorrow night. Remember. You must remember by all means! That this person’s style has major issues. You can adopt some of his style, but you can’t adopt all his style in its entirety.”
The man’s expression caused Qin Fen’s head to be befuddled with fog, so the man continued, “Don’t be completely captivated by his style. If you want to become someone truly powerful, then you need to walk your own path.”
“Can I know your name?”
When faced with the human formed from light, it was a bit awkward asking this question, but Qin Fen felt it would be even more awkward if he didn’t ask.
“Name?” The man eyes had a look of reminiscence, “My name. I think it was Lord Turbulence.”
Lord Turbulence? Qin Fen drew his lips together. This name was a bit bizarre.
“All right. We should finish today’s task.” Lord Turbulence became spirited, “You’re extremely proficient in both the Arhat Fist and the Flood Fist. This is great. However, you need to have secret finis.h.i.+ng moves as someone powerful. Since you’re close to the ocean, carefully observe this Raging Berserker Tide.”
When Lord Turbulence finished his words, an aura akin to the tidal waves immediately flooded out from within his body. Before his hands could exert force in its rise, his legs lightly struck out with a portion of the Raging Berserker Tide.
After the complete form was demonstrated, all the blood in Qin Fen’s body was boiling just from watching. Lord Turbulence had been just like the wild waves of the ocean just now. It could be said that his power came from taking quite a few strong points of the Arhat Fist and the Flood fist and melded them into a single form.
“Understand now that you’ve seen it?” Lord Turbulence asked as he drew back his form.
Qin Fen didn’t talk. He gently spread his hands apart in a stance, slowly displaying the Shaolin Arhat Fist. Tucked Elbows. Double Palm Push. Crossed Downward Spear Hand. Reversal Spear Hand….
One form after another of the Shaolin Arhat Fist, known to be the fitness exercise of fist forms, was displayed at a speed several times slower than usual. Lord Turbulence wasn’t made at Qin Fen for displaying the Arhat Fist rather than the Raging Berserker Tide. Instead, he had a smile of satisfaction on his face.
After finis.h.i.+ng the Arhat Fist, Qin Fen began displaying the Flood Fist. He displayed each one over and over several times until suddenly…! Qin Fen’s eyes burst open with a radiant and explosive light. The aura suppressed within his body suddenly gushed out. Though it couldn’t be compared to Lord Turbulence’s Raging Berserker Tide, it was the strongest aura Qin Fen ever produced. With a flip of his palms and a striding step forward, Qin Fen struck out with a Raging Berserker Tide of absolute ferocity and speed.
“Excellent!” Lord Turbulence praised, “You got some of it!”
The sound of a bugle call resonated into the dream, and a few wrinkles of pity appeared on Lord Turbulence’s face. “Times up. You should wake up now. I hope that you’ll be completely proficient in this form the next time we meet.”
The dream gradually transformed into nothingness, and all that was left was the sound of Lord Turbulence’s warning voice, “Remember! Don’t get tricked by Zeng Yicheng! Don’t completely walk on his path!”
After returning from the dream, Qin Fen quickly put on his military uniform along with the others, his mind still thinking about the Zeng Yicheng that Lord Turbulence had mentioned.
Zeng Yicheng was obviously the next person Qin Fen would meet in the dream. Why did his fellow expert Lord Turbulence warm Qin Fen about him?
He hurried made his way with his company to the field outside and got into formation. The company commander of Third Company had an expression as if someone owed him money when he arrived before everyone. He gave a simple order, “Seven kilometers of training. The use of true energy is not allowed. The last ten people….”
“Will receive impressive rewards.” The commander of Third Company revealed a sinister look.
Just how many people were in a company? And the commander was pointing out the last ten people? In this moment, practically everyone decided to go all out! Only an unknown and inexplicable punishment would be this headache inducing.
At the signal, everyone of Third Company let loose with their feet to sprint at lightning speeds as they chased the squad leaders sitting in a vehicle.
“Qin Fen! Du Peng! You two will have to take part in the punishment if you end up not getting first and second place!” Once Company Commander Yan said these words, Du Peng and Qin Fen, who had been running calmly in the middle of the crowd, had their complexions change.
They weren’t scared of any punishment, but to be punished because they were slow at running was a very shameful matter. With practically no hesitation at all, Qin Fen and Du Peng increased their speed in an instant.
First and second place? The positions sounded very impressive, but whoever got second meant that he lost against whoever got first. This was also a very shameful matter.
The two made their way out of the squads to arrive at the front most positions. Now, they had to compete regardless.
When faced with a challenge, those who cower weren’t men! The two’s sprinting speeds grew faster and faster, leaving the recruits of Third Company, who were left in the dust, to curse at how beastly the two were. The two’s speeds was too much of a psychological blow to them.
After competing against one another for the entire seven kilometers, the two ultimately maintained a tacit agreement. They arrived at the so-called finish line at the same time.
The bra.s.s had their policies, but the subordinates had countermeasures.
This saying was totally true, and a few squad leaders were in a good mood when they saw the situation created by the two recruits.
Company Commander Yan made his way to the finish line. He looked at the two recruits who were enjoying the scenery alla round them and gave a fierce laugh, “You guys were talking about brotherhood, right? Excellent! There’s stuff that you’ve been talking about for you to do today!”
Gradually, all the recruits arrived at the finish line, all gasping for breath. Company Commander Yan sneered at the last ten who were panting hard. He grabbed a rice from the vehicle and tossed a handful before each of the ten recruits. Then he said, “Squat to the ground and count each handful of rice. You can eat after you get the correct number. You can begin now!”
Squat? The ten recruits didn’t even have the strength to kneel. They nearly fainted on the spot when they heard about squatting.
To squat and count rise after such intense exercise?
A hint of shock streaked through Du Peng’s eyes. This was a training method for special forces. How did the commander of an ordinary recruit company know of this method?
“Baffled?” Company Commander Yan had a callous expression as he said, “I know what you’re thinking. Don’t you know that some people get weeded out?”
He was weeded out from the special forces? Du Peng was even more shocked. Company Commander Yan, a soldier of meteor level strength, had actually been weeded out?
“You are dismissed! Eat!” Company Commander Yan continued to show his capability and experience as a soldier, “Rest for thirty minutes after eating, then reconvene here.”
