Chapter 384: Sudden Ma.s.s Production of Rare Treasured Geniuses
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Straight punch! Straight punch! Straight punch!
Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi stood in the area where the seawater was above his shoulders and faced the waves that pushed toward him one after another. He didn’t stop waving his straight punch, and the waves shattered at his firm and fierce force.
The raging waves could easily flip a person over, yet Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi’s body was as stable as a rock, like the Pillar that Pacifies the Ocean [1] that planted firmly into the sea.
The morning at the seaside was cool, yet Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi’s body was hot. From today onward, this place was the practice spot that belonged to Du Peng and him. The others had already boarded the plane and left Tianbei City.
“Sacred Martial Hall…” Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi looked up at a huge pa.s.senger aircraft that flew across the sky, “I’m guessing that Master’s on this plane. I wonder how Master will be feeling in the face of Sacred Martial Hall… will he be excited? Nervous? Or something else?”
Hua la…
Du Peng emerged from the water and looked up at the plane that flew across the sky. There was an unspeakable dissatisfaction flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.
Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi looked at Du Peng, who was like a little black dot due to the far distance between them and shook his head gently. Everyone else had already completed the Blood Transfusion Rebirth and even entered the ten-star level within these twelve days. Only Du Peng had not even reached the peak strength of a nine-star. Needless to say, he had yet to enter the ten-star level and the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.
“Ai… secret art… it’s apparent that not everyone can cultivate it.” Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi shook his head again as he recalled what Qin Fen had said before leaving.
“The level of the profoundness of the martial arts Du Peng cultivated was far above Caesar and the others. It’s just a pity that a genius as strong as Du Zhanpeng would also have to cultivate them separately in order for them to be merged together. The difficulty for him to complete the Blood Transfusion Rebirth is way higher compared to the others.”
Hua la…
Du Peng was silent and sank into the deep ocean once again like a big turtle. Since his talent was not like the others, then he would just have to put in more effort than the others!
Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi looked up once again at the plane that disappeared gradually into the clouds, “Master must be very happy to be able to get a free in-flight meal again, right?
“Old Qin, hurry and see…” Xue Tian nudged Qin Fen repeatedly with his elbow, “The air hostesses on this flight aren’t too bad.”
…
Qin Fen looked down at the newspaper in his hand and pretended to not know Xue Tian, whose voice was so loud he didn’t need a loudspeaker.
Caesar, who was sitting on Xue Tian’s left, also turned his head toward the window hurriedly. He would rather pretend to be a flight rookie than expose his familiarity toward Xue Tian.
Yang Lie looked at Solomon who was next to him, and then looked at Brooks and Mourad Tschick. The lineup heading toward Sacred Martial Hall this time is probably had the strongest group of young people ever since the establishment of Sacred Martial Hall, right?
In the past, which young martial artist, after receiving an invitation from the Sacred Martial Hall, did not pack up immediately and head straight to the Sacred Martial Hall happily?
In the history of receiving an invitation, almost no one waited to head over to Sacred Martial Hall only after they had patiently refined themselves to the extent where they’ve completed the Blood Transfusion Rebirth and become a ten-star martial artist.
True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth? Yang Lie shook both his hands, and there was another burst of pride in his chest. Many young martial artists who have entered Sacred Martial Hall to practice martial dao didn’t even seem to have completed the realm of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth when they left. In the history of Sacred Martial Hall, there weren’t many who had already completed the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth and entered the ten-star level when they were only just over nineteen years of age.
Sky Splitter Brooks was sleeping soundly with a big hat covering his face. The speedy improvement in martial arts with Qin Fen and the others these days had made him lose plenty of sleep. How could he not sleep as much as he could now that he finally had the chance?
Soon enough, the impact of takeoff had been completed. The air hostess stood up and said into a small microphone with a sweet voice, “Dear pa.s.sengers, now…”
Qin Fen’s eyes left the newspaper in his hand, and his expression was filled with a bitter smile. Could it be that my zodiac sign and that of the Federation Airlines don’t go well together? Why is it that the two times I’ve sat on the Federation Airlines’ plane, I’ve encountered a hijacking incident every time I listened to the air hostess speak?
At different positions in the cabin, four suffocating murderous aurae broke out all at once at the same time the air hostess spoke.
“Now, this plane has been taken over by us!”
The aggressive voice caught most of the pa.s.sengers’ attention instantly. Someone had pressed a pistol that was made of special materials against the temple of the air hostess who was holding the microphone.
Hijack, it’s another hijack! Qin Fen leaned the back of his head powerlessly on the headrest. The Federation had extremely tight security. Incidents like hijacking would at most probably happen only about two or three times a year. What kind of luck do I have to have a hijacking incident happen every time I boarded a plane?
“Old Qin, Old Qin.” Xue Tian said softly with excitement, “You can’t take action, you can’t take action! Let me this time, my time to save a damsel in distress as a hero is here! By the time I knock down that unlucky hijacker, this beautiful air hostess will definitely…”
Sou!
A yellow light that couldn’t be seen clearly by everyone’s eyes flashed out of a sudden in mid-air, and a two-inch-long toothpick was nailed between the brows of the four-star martial artist who held the air hostess hostage with a gun.
The speed of the toothpick was extremely fast. The fierceness of the force made it pierce through the hijacker’s forehead instantly, and a half-inch stick shot out from the back of his head.
At the same time Mourad Tschick flicked the toothpick in his hand, he also plucked the b.u.t.tons on his s.h.i.+rt and his fingers flicked them almost simultaneously! The crowd only heard a series of “jiujiu” sounds in the air. Before the three remaining hijackers could even pull the trigger, their heads were all pierced by a steel b.u.t.ton.
So fast, it’s indeed too fast!
The speed of this hijacking incident coming to an end could almost be recorded into the Guinness World Record as the shortest hijacking time ever.
The other pa.s.sengers on the plane had not even fully realized that they were being hijacked when they found that all the hijackers had already died.
Mourad Tschick tapped all ten of his fingers. He stared at Qin Fen, sneered as if he was demonstrating his power, and sat back onto his seat. It was as if the murder that just happened was not his doing.
“This… this Mourad Tschick…” Xue Tian’s fingers tapped the handrail repeatedly, “I want to fight him! He s.n.a.t.c.hed my spotlight!”
Qin Fen shook his head. This record was indeed meant to be broken. He had also encountered a hijacking incident recently and had set the shortest hijacking time record back then. Who knew that the record would be broken by Mourad Tschick in such a short time?
As the air hostesses had gone through information sessions about the hijacking incident six months ago, they were clear that they should first calm the pa.s.sengers and inform the captain of the incident under such a case. They would have to first contact the local police of their destination in order to ensure that the police would arrive first thing upon landing to handle the case.
Qin Fen looked at how busy everyone was and tapped Yang Lie’s shoulder in front of them. He whispered, “We leave once we get off the plane.”
“Hmm?” Yang Lie looked back in confusion, “Why?”
Qin Fen sighed, “I’ve encountered a hijack once. If we were to linger, we might end up being surrounded by a bunch of reporters…”
Yang Lie nodded in realization. This was indeed a very troublesome thing. Being the focus of attention wasn’t always a good thing.
After flying for a few hours, the plane landed slowly at the airport in Hawaii. The Federation didn’t have a single flight that could fly to the Sacred Martial Hall directly, and there was no other way to get to the island other than by boat.
The door of the plane opened slowly and the reporters who had been waiting blocked the door in their eagerness. Qin Fen’s plan of sneaking away immediately went down the drain.
The unlucky Mourad Tschick was dragged into an interview for a whole half an hour before he was released.
Although Qin Fen and the others were lucky enough to not be dragged on for so long, they were also interviewed for a short time because of their relations.h.i.+p with Mourad Tschick.
They got out of the airport and got in a taxi. Qin Fen and the others came to know about information from the taxi driver, that there was only one boat that set out to Sacred Martial Hall per day. Today’s boat had already set sail, and they had to wait another day to get to Sacred Martial Hall.
Rent a boat? No way! Sacred Martial Hall had set a rule that there could only be one boat a day to symbolize that there was only one chance in life. It was to let every single person who was headed to Sacred Martial Hall know how lucky they were.
There was no other way, and everyone spent a comfortable night in Hawaii. They went straight to the docks mentioned by the driver first thing in the morning, and to their surprise, they found that there was already someone waiting for the boat.
He looked like an eighteen to nineteen-year-old and had on a loose white silk practice suit. His sharp gaze and brows made him a considerably pretty boy. It’s just that there was an arrogant cold aura in between his brows.
His ten fingers were clasped together in front of his chest, and his body was leaning slightly against the back of the chair. It warned people to stay away.
“Yi? There are other people besides us today.”
Xue Tian who raised his voice deliberately didn’t seem to interest the young man at all. His gaze was still overlooking the blue sea, and a reminiscing ray of light shot toward the sea.
“His strength isn’t too bad.” Xue Tian sat next to Qin Fen indifferently. His eyes were evaluating the arrogant white-clothed young man, “From his looks, he should be around our age. It’s rare that he has an eight-star strength.”
The arrogant white-clothed man finally had some changes in his expression. He didn’t look at Xue Tian, but he still evoked an obvious smile at the corner of his lips. A smile that was filled with confidence and pride.
His strength had reached eight-star before the age of nineteen! The white-clothed man was incredibly proud. In this world, not many could reach beyond the strength of an eight-star besides Young Hades, who was rumored to have been beaten crippled, and Shang Guan Chuan Qi, who was missing.
Caesar looked at Qin Fen and back at the white-clothed man. He shook his head as he smiled, If I’ve never met Qin Fen, I probably would’ve been as proud as this young man. I’m guessing that he came over the moment he received the invite, right?
The cruise s.h.i.+p revealed its clear outline gradually from the sea fog. The white-clothed man didn’t wait for the cruise s.h.i.+p to come to a complete halt. He bent his waist slightly and jumped onto the s.h.i.+p like an energetic gorilla.
“Such good looking kung fu.” Yang Lie praised softly. His face was a little more smiley suddenly. What’s with me? This white-clothed man is also my peer, so why did I feel like a senior watching a junior when I praised him?
Qin Fen boarded the cruise s.h.i.+p, and Yang Lie’s eyes flashed in succession. I really should thank Qin Fen for this kind of mentality. If it wasn’t for his help in aiding me to complete the Blood Transfusion Rebirth successfully, I probably wouldn’t have such a mentality.
The white-clothed man looked at the sea. His eyes never stayed on Yang Lie and the others for longer than half a second.
Not long after, truckloads of vegetables, fresh meat, and various supplies were all transported onto the s.h.i.+p. The cruise s.h.i.+p did not show any hint of waiting. It blew three whistles and left the port decisively.
Qin Fen stood on the s.h.i.+pboard quietly and looked out into the distance of the sea. Before he thought about coming to Sacred Martial Hall, he didn’t have a lot of curiosity or expectations toward this place. When he decided to come to this place that was regarded as a martial learning sanctuary by many of the Federation’s martial artists, it became an exciting thing.
As a martial learning sanctuary in the hearts of almost every martial artist of the Federation, what would the Sacred Martial Hall look like?
The cruise s.h.i.+p sailed for two hours, and a huge island appeared in front of Qin Fen. There were no traces of modern large-scale buildings or even artificial carvings from the outside. Instead, it felt like a deserted island.
The cruise s.h.i.+p stopped sailing suddenly, and the bearded middle-aged man in a captain’s uniform came to the s.h.i.+pboard. His pair of black eyes gave off the feeling of a jungle tiger.
The young martial artists who were swept by his gaze felt a sensation instantly. This captain who looks as fat as a water tank was also a martial dao master!
“Do you see the steel wire in the sea?” The captain pointed to the thumb-thick steel wire that was hidden in the sea, “The distance from here to the sh.o.r.e is five kilometers. Whoever falls from the steel wire no longer need to enter Sacred Martial Hall…”
Pa… sou…
The feet of the white-clothed man slammed onto the deck suddenly, and a white figure swept across the surface of the sea. In the eyes of everyone, it indeed looked like a white-furred monkey that sprinted on the surface of the sea with no intention of falling.
Suddenly, the seawater on both sides of the wire started tumbling. Qin Fen’s eyes flashed instantly. Dozens of fist-sized tropical piranhas were rus.h.i.+ng toward the white-clothed man at an incredibly high speed.
He tilted his head up, bent over, pushed his chest outward, and curled his body!
In an instant, the white-clothed man completed more than a dozen dodging movements, resembling an ape in the jungle. The attack net made up of piranhas was full of holes in front of him. The thin wire could not limit his movements.
As he walked onto the beach, the white-clothed man did not leave immediately. He stopped at the beach and turned to look at Xue Tian and the others who were still on the s.h.i.+p. There was faint arrogance in between his brows.
The old captain was satisfied and nodded with a faint smile. His finger waved in front of his chest as he looked at Xue Tian, “Your turn.”
“Oh…”
Xue Tian walked on the wire with a pace that wasn’t too fast. He also didn’t dodge like the white-clothed man did every time a piranha jumped up next to him. Instead, he pushed the katana that hung across his waist with his thumb.
Hundreds of silver snakes danced around Xue Tian’s body. He proceeded to walk leisurely, and the piranhas who were in the air became Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi’s favorite sas.h.i.+mi in an instant as they fell into the sea.
The old captain was slightly moved. Among the young men who came to Sacred Martial Hall, who wasn’t longing and cautious? In the face of this wire that was obviously meant to test their movement, they would try their best to use their movement techniques to dodge in order to showcase their flexibility. He had never seen such a grand young martial artist who used blades in a movement test to simply kill off these well-trained piranhas.
After Xue Tian finished, Mourad Tschick jumped on the wire with a red spear. The old captain waved his hand and released a batch of spare piranhas to the sea.
As the piranhas jumped, Mourad Tschick shook the long spear in his hands. Dozens of long red dragons appeared in the sky instantly.
The arrogant expression of the white-clothed man standing on the beach stiffened up. Why is it that these young men didn’t bother to use their movement techniques? Instead, they used a destructive method? Why didn’t I think of killing all those piranhas? I only had to dodge these little piranhas .
The old captain looked even more shocked, Interesting! He looked at Qin Fen, “Kid, this is a place that tests movement techniques, you’re not allowed to kill the piranhas. You can now get on the wire.”
Qin Fen looked at the wire and shook his head gently. For someone who walks on the divine dao martial arts road to choose to dodge in the face of piranhas, is it still called divine dao martial arts road?
After jumping on the wire, Qin Fen walked quickly on the wire. The soft wire fluctuated with the waves of the seawater. Seven-star martial artists who had a poor foundation in movement technique may not actually be able to stabilize their body.
Puff… puff… puff…
The piranhas in the sea once again leaped out of the water. Qin Fen did not raise his hand to stop the attack nor did he use his movement technique to dodge. He proceeded to walk leisurely on the wire.
“This is…”
For a moment the old captain was stunned. The piranhas that rammed into Qin Fen’s body and opened their mouths to enjoy this delicious human flesh suddenly fell backward the moment they touched Qin Fen’s body. They were blasted straight into a blurry pile of blood and meat in the air.
Caesar smiled. Qin Fen didn’t even use his protection kung fu. He had just used true energy oscillation to oscillate these piranhas to death.
The old captain was stunned for a few seconds. He looked at Qin Fen and squinted at Caesar and the others.
“Yi?” The old captain rubbed his eyes twice, and his tiger-like eyes seemed to have seen a weird prey, “You… you… have all completed the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth? And you’re all ten-star martial artists already? How can this be?”
Blood Transfusion Rebirth ten-star martial artists! Even martial artists who have entered Sacred Martial Hall may not all be able to complete this segment!
Blood Transfusion Rebirth? In addition to strength, this thing also required a little luck.
The old captain had been the captain of this cruise s.h.i.+p for more than ten years, yet he had never seen any better than a nineteen-year-old martial artist who already had the strength of a ten-star martial artist on this s.h.i.+p heading to the island! To be able to have nine-star was already extremely rare.
“This… how is it possible… how is it possible…” The old captain shook his head repeatedly. In the history of Sacred Martial Hall, there were quite a few who had a nine-star strength at such an age.
True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth? Ten-star martial artist? Younger than nineteen years old? The old captain rubbed his forehead, There’s only one in the history of Sacred Martial Hall!
This kind of young martial artist was a rare treasure in the history of Sacred Martial Hall… it was suddenly ma.s.s-produced today? The old captain wondered if he was dreaming. Since when could things like geniuses be ma.s.s-produced?
Solomon was the last to leave the s.h.i.+p. The old captain looked at Qin Fen and the others who were on the sh.o.r.e. He shook his head repeatedly as he said to himself, “I’m afraid that this time, those young men who entered Sacred Martial Hall a year earlier than these people would have some difficulties in wanting to develop Sacred Martial Hall’s traditional virtue of teaching the newcomers.”
