Chapter 450: Chrysanthemum
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Qin Fen wasn’t completely unfamiliar with Elysium. Even now, there was still no appearance of a martial artist with a divine beast level in Saturn. Any martial artist and influential groups with ambitions could choose to enter Saturn or Venus to fight for the chance to become the absolute overlord.
Before the death of Venus’s White Tiger, Saturn had gradually become a contention for both of these powerful forces.
These two forces, one was called “Elysium” and another force was named “Inferno”.
In the rumors, although Elysium of Saturn was unable to contend against the true power of divine beasts and Sacred Martial Hall, it was still worthy as a powerful force that gathered a lot of masters and became a force with the highest opportunity to capture a divine beast’s power.
Qin Fen heard the exclamation of Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro, and only then did he know that the token he held within his hand was one of the symbols of Elysium’s ident.i.ty. His inner doubts were increased to a higher degree at once, “How can this Elysium of Saturn appear on the Earth?”
Qin Fen didn’t know much about Elysium but his understanding of divine beasts had increased with time. Each planet was a divine beast’s territorial domain. Aside from its tyrannical strength and giant force, the divine beasts here also had a very strong sense of territory.
If other large forces entered the territory of the divine beast, it represented the intention to challenge them.
“It’s not surprising that Elysium appears on the Earth.” The shock on Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro’s face was partly gone, he opened his mouth and explained, “Presumably, it is the force of Elysium in between the force of Mars’ Vermillion Bird power, Mercury’s Black Tortoise power and Jupiter’s Azure Dragon power. Not only the force of Elysium but also the strength of Inferno are present among these planets.”
Qin Fen didn’t really understand it. To his surprise, these divine beasts and martial artists, who had a strong sense of territory, let Saturn’s two giant powerful forces to get involved.
“It’s really weird. I also don’t understand why.” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro said with the same confused face, “I just know that the beasts allow all forces to compete and enter their territories and temporarily expand their territories by taking these forces. When a new beast is born, the new beast will gather all the forces that are rooted in other planets and no longer enter the forces of other beasts. In the rumor, it seems that only Jupiter’s Azure Dragon had not penetrated other planets and directly formed his Jupiter’s Azure Dragon power.”
Qin Fen nodded gently and secretly guessing the thoughts of the beasts. It might be due to the absence of the beast on the planet, the economic conditions, or that other conditions were much worse. It was unable to supply the enormous force of a definite divine beast if it did not absorb all kinds of resources from other planets. Therefore, they agreed with these forces to allow others to compete and enter their respective territories.
The more powerful the force, the more resources were needed! Starting from the bottom, Qin Fen understood that no matter what organization it was, as long as it was composed of people, then naturally, they’d need to eat, dress and live. The more powerful the martial artists, the more they needed the help of pills. These all needed money.
In order to make money for the organization, Qin Fen did not think it was too strange even in the case of the building tyrants.
“Master, it is done.” Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi calmly appeared again in front of Qin Fen. There were martial artists with all kinds of body shapes lying at the empty s.p.a.ce behind him, “Except for the death of President Liu, all other people were only injured and hospitalized. ”
“Dead?” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro’s face stiffened a bit again, “Little Brother Qin, I’m afraid you’re getting into terrible trouble this time.”
“Am I? How terrible is it?” Qin Fen raised his eyebrows slightly. After all, Elysium was unreasonable in this affair. Even if they killed their people, there was nothing to say.
As long as the reason was right, Qin Fen even fended off the decision of Qilin Song Wendong recruiting a groom by conducting a martial arts contest on that day in an unconventional way.
“It’s a lot of trouble, it’s much more trouble than Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten and Bae Seong-Joon.” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro looked dignified and stared at the token in Qin Fen’s hand, “This token should not belong to the person named Liu Wenjun. You look at the position below this token, there are two words Earth Immortal engraved. It shows that this is the master of Immortal first-level in Elysium, it is not a token that ten-star level martial artists can get.”
Qin Fen saw the expression of Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro and became more interested in the establishment of Elysium. Since he heard about Shang Guan Chuan Qi entering Saturn and beginning the battle of the beast at the Sacred Martial Hall, his heart of wanting to be a divine beast martial artist was ignited.
Leaving Sacred Martial Hall, the initial plan Qin Fen had was to go to the Song’s family to propose marriage. This time, it was not the point to successfully marry Song Jia but the real focus was to show Qilin his nerve.
In Qin Fen’s mind, a man without nerve would not be a thing in Qinlin Song Wendong’s eyes even if one was a martial dao master.
After the proposal of marriage, if he could, he would enter Saturn through the army and go to battle for the divine beast with Shang Guan Chuan Qi alongside with many of the distinguished elite.
Divine beast! The highest glory of martial artists. Qin Fen did not want to wait until Great Ensemble to get the so-called t.i.tle of divine beast martial artists.
Divine beast! Qin Fen believed that as long as he had the t.i.tle of a divine beast martial artists, he could step on Jupiter in good sportsmans.h.i.+p and have a look at the mysterious Azure Dragon to see if it was his brother, Qin Zhan, as rumored!
If the military did not allow him to enter Saturn by that time, Qin Fen was ready to apply for early retirement and directly set up a mercenary group as the initial force team. It was also a good idea to fight Saturn’s divine beast.
Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro looked at the excitement that flashed through Qin Fen’s face. He sighed softly, “I don’t know if I am old or if you are young and energetic. But this Elysium is really more complicated and bigger than you think. In Elysium, Jade Emperor is known as the first master. Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin, Sun Wukong the Monkey King, Erlang Xiansheng are also first-cla.s.s martial dao masters or even martial dao grandmasters. They were declared as Da Luo Jinxian internally. Their followers, Eight Immortals, are also Sky Immortal masters of the martial dao master level. These people usually stay in Saturn and do not go out.”
Qin Fen listened to the remarks of Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro and his understanding and opinion toward Shang Guan Chuan Qi had once again increased as he could compete for the t.i.tle of the beast under such Elysium forces. This required more than just courage and pride. It must have sufficient strength and potential.
“How strong are the martial artists called Sky Immortal in Elysium? I don’t know this very well. After all, I haven’t really met them, but…” The dignified look in between Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro’s eyebrows increased again, “About the martial artists that had become Earth Immortal level in Elysium, I heard that Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten had been in contact with them.”
“Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten?” Qin Fen remembered the opponent of the battle of Hallasan. Although the character of the man was despicable, his strength was still very strong. Even if he had already died in his hands, he had to admit his strength. That was the real martial dao master, an undeniable martial dao master.
“Yes, Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten.” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro tutted and said, “That is a secret fight. I heard from Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten saying that Elysium wanted to invite him to join Elysium. It was not long before Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten was just a martial dao master. It was the stage when his heart filled with boundless pride. He, of course, proposed to spar when he met the martial artists of the same martial dao master to see if Elysium has this qualification to recruit him.”
Manager He listened to the conversation between Qin Fen and Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten. The more he heard the more he shocked. The young man who looked around twenty years old seemed to be martial dao master!
Martial dao master around twenty years old? Manager He swallowed again and again. Only then did he understand why he dared to let his people fight without blinking an eye when faced with the provocation of the building tyrant.
Martial dao master! That was the ability to fly! Although in today’s society, where there were no known fairies and monsters, there was still strong admiration for those being able to fly in the sky with their own ability. In the eyes of most martial artists, if the martial artists of paleo martial arts could fly in the sky, then they were not much different from the legendary G.o.ds.
The Federation law was not absolutely binding on martial dao masters in a sense. As long as they didn’t go overboard, the Federation would prioritize winning such people over and rarely did extreme things to them.
Manager He did not expect that he was able to be so close to a martial dao master. He was more delighted after the shock.
The martial dao master was nothing like the masters of Confucianism and Taoism who were particular about forbearance. This group of building tyrants had even demolished the furniture of the new house of martial dao master today, they were afraid to get in real trouble.
“Half-year.” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro swayed his head and said, “Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten said that it’s the most terrible defeat since he debuted. He needs to rest for half a year, but the other side just backed off completely. Of course, that defeat for him now can only be regarded as the second terrible defeat of his battle record.”
Being a martial dao master like him, Qin Fen was very clear on what it meant when one side was seriously injured and another side was able to retreat. There was still a big gap in the difference between the strength of the two sides.
The so-called Earth Immortal of Elysium master had such strength, so what was the strength of Eight Immortals and Guanyin? Qin Fen admired Shang Guan Chuan Qi even further. Facing the martial artists with such a huge strength, he still chose to carry out the beast war, this kind of nerve was enough to admire.
Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro turned over the token and saw the other two words on the corner of the Elysium’s token. His cautious face changed again suddenly as he said, “It’s him?”
The expression of Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro tickled more curiosity out of Qin Fen. It was not easy to make this Neo Sumomartial dao master, Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten, who was strong and not in any way inferior, have a serious expression.
“w.a.n.g Xiao…” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro’s eyes sank into memories, “The first time I heard his name was from the mouth of Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten. This person, the Chrysanthemum Fist master, who backed off completely.”
Chrysanthemum Fist? Qin Fen remembered the scene when Liu Wenjun made a move. When he stepped out of the smoke dust, it turned into a million chrysanthemum silk petals and there was a blooming chrysanthemum when his arms crossed.
Chrysanthemum, a special flower that bloomed in the cold after the fall of other flowers in the autumn. Qin Fen could feel the unyielding taste of the fists when Liu Wenjun struck. It was a pity he had the arrogance of a building tyrant, but there was no real arrogance as when the chrysanthemum faced the autumn frost.
“Since Kyokus.h.i.+n Kouten talked about w.a.n.g Xiao, I made inquiries about him in many ways.” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro looked very serious, “The Chrysanthemum Art of w.a.n.g Xiao is not self-created. He claimed to have found a piece of slate that should’ve belonged to the historical remains of Atlantis at a place outside of the historical remains of Atlantis with the Chrysanthemum Art recorded on it. Most of the martial dao historical remains of Atlantis do not have a signature but that set of Chrysanthemum Art is signed. According to him, a name was left after deciphering, the name is Zeng Yicheng…”
Zeng Yicheng? Qin Fen’s eyes which carried a hint of contemplation as he listened lightened all of a sudden. This name was too familiar. He could always see the wretched martial dao Vile King in his dream s.p.a.ce once in a while, his name was called Zeng Yicheng.
Thinking of Zeng Yicheng, Qin Fen narrowed his eyes, thinking about the Chrysanthemum Fist that he saw before. An odd smile gradually appeared on his face.
In a moment, Qin Fen could almost be certain that this Chrysanthemum Art was created by Vile King Zeng Yicheng in the dream s.p.a.ce and he was more certain that Liu Wenjun practiced the Chrysanthemum Fist in a totally wrong way.
It was still enough for Qin Fen to understand that his martial dao master’s Chrysanthemum Art was obviously cultivated in the wrong direction although he had not encountered w.a.n.g Xiao. This set of Chrysanthemums Art was not simply derived from the arrogance of the chrysanthemum. If the wretched martial dao of Zeng Yicheng was utilized…
Qin Fen silently simulated the martial arts technique that Liu Wenjun had just played. With his vast knowledge of martial dao and his understanding of Zeng Yicheng, he worked hard to infer the development and essence of this set of Chrysanthemum Art.
“Hehe… hehe…” Qin Fen laughed in a gradual increase of excitement. This Chrysanthemum Art was obviously a set of apex-level martial arts. It was lucky for the man named w.a.n.g Xiao to obtain the Chrysanthemum Art. At the same time, it was also a misfortune.
Zeng Yicheng’s Chrysanthemum Fist was not derived from the elegance and arrogance of the chrysanthemum. On the contrary, there was an invincible wretched taste in his Chrysanthemum Art from its name to the essence of martial arts technique. w.a.n.g Xiao had completely practiced this lost knowledge set of divine art the wrong way!
Qin Fen somewhat admired w.a.n.g Xiao, whom he had never met. He practiced the invincible wretched Chrysanthemum Divine Art of Zeng Yicheng to the point of a martial dao master even though he did it in a completely opposite way. Qin Fen honestly did not know to say whether he was lucky or grievous.
Now it was the turn of Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro to look at Qin Fen in doubt, “Little Brother Qin, what are you laughing at? How come this smile… this… looks a bit wretched…”
Qin Fen was sober from the contemplation, he unwittingly entered the martial dao of Zeng Yicheng when simulated the wretched Chrysanthemum Art. Even the smile was infected by the power of his martial dao.
“w.a.n.g Xiao, I think his cultivation is wrong.” Qin Fen smiled with slight confidence.
“He cultivated wrong?” Has.h.i.+moto Nagas.h.i.+ro shook his head again and again, “It is impossible. Although the guy has not displayed the true meaning of chrysanthemum just now, the martial dao master w.a.n.g Xiao will never fail to play the art with the taste of the elegance and arrogance.”
Qin Fen laughed again, “Even if he plays a perfect one hundred percent of the elegance and arrogance, it is still wrong.”
“Wrong? You say that I did not practice properly?”
A magnetic moving car slowly opened above the sky, and the superior sound of the arrogant voice emerged from it. A tyrannical pressure came from the sky.
“w.a.n.g Xiao?”
Qin Fen didn’t raise his head and asked, there was no surprise in his voice for the arrival of the other party. At that moment, just after touching the token, he already knew that the token was not just a simple pure metal, there were special tracking devices and listening devices installed inside of it.
