Chapter 142: Fighting Above One’s Level, a Conclusion Where One’s Ultimate Skills Weren’t Used

The surrounding people were even more surprised. The mental quality of this Thirty-Six Hours was too good. Or was it that this man was overly confident? He was facing a five-star warrior, after all!

Qin Fen didn’t say anything. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art silently circulated through his entire body. True energy was discharged and released over and over. His body began to expand along with the spread of true energy, revealing muscle akin to metal. This caused his body to rapidly shoot up an additional ten centimeters in height. However, he was still ten centimeters shorter than Robert in this form.

Each of the surrounding spectators drew in deep cold breaths. The sight of this transformation impact that was way too strong! Even Robert’s eyes slowly twitched a few times. This transformation, had they not seen it before on video, would have truly given them a huge fright.

Qin Fen slowly pulled into a combat stance. He gently lifted his forearm as he faintly said, “Okay, you can make your move now.”

The surrounding spectators were shocked once more. This Thirty-Six Hours really was like an old man hanging himself. He was courting death! The four-star martial artist was actually going to allow a five-star martial artist to seize the decisive opportunity?.

Robert didn’t say anything, simply pulling into a fighting stance as well. The system of values of a Westerner was more direct than other folks. It was best to be able to earn a lot of benefits. He didn’t spend the slightest thought on doubting that he had an unfair advantage in this fight between a five-star and a four-star.

“Okay!”

The word exploded from Robert’s mouth. His body moved, and his entire body was like a dragon that suddenly leaped through the surface of a still lake. He crossed the span of six meters with a single step, seizing upon Qin Fen in an instant, and his five fingers transformed into a dragon’s claw that grabbed towards Qin Fen’s throat.

Friction from his body scraping the air was like waves set off in the lake when a dragon bursts forth from the water. The generated gale seemed like it was about to blast Qin Fen away.

“The Dragon Fist Azure Dragon Fist!” Qin Fen’s heart immediately became on alert the instant he saw the strike. The foundation of the Azure Dragon Fist was created through much effort and work in walking. Often, one would train in various places such as the mountains, muddy lands, marshes, sandy shores, and so on. Such places were excellent for strengthening one’s lower limbs. The true power and display of the capturing palm came from the legs.

Qin Fen didn’t want to reveal his Raging Berserker Tide in front of everyone. He simply smashed out the Forcing Hand Cannon towards the dragon claw.

Robert never expected that Qin Fen, a four-star warrior, would choose to meet force with force in the fight against the five-star. He hastily raised the energy on his arm, for it was currently not enough. However, he was still slow by half a beat. Before his power could reach its peak, the recoil force beneath Qin Fen’s feet caused the clash to happen earlier than expected.

Fist and claw clashed, and a giant jolt ran through Qin Fen’s entire body. Two legs stood steady on the ground in a giant horse stance. His footsteps constantly treaded without end. Using his waist as an axis, his two arms whipped out over and over in a crazed and wild -like fashion. He used the Flowing Whipstrike of the Arhat Fist in a cross step and chaotic strike. The screams truly as if the lashing movement was not done by the arm but rather a mace of the ancient battlefield.

Robert didn’t expect Qin Fen to choose such a hard and firm move at all. He wasn’t able to seize any sort of advantage at all. His original plan and tactics were instantly made completely useless when he saw Qin Fen’s two mace-like arms lash over.

When faced with this sort of powerful fist, the energy passageways of his two legs burst forth, simply allowing him to dash six meters away. He then instantly pivoted on his ankle once more, and his body followed up with a spin. He raised his right leg up high, swinging out with a strike of the Azure Dragon Tail Whip. The strike firmly clashed together with Qin Fen’s mace.

The leg techniques of the Azure Dragon Fist was just as firm and fierce. The utilization of five-star strength at this moment with the swing of the leg was much greater than with his arm. The power was also a step higher.

“So it turns out that you really do possess the genuine five-star strength! The four-star level cannot be compared with the meteor level.” Qin Fen, with the clashing of strikes with the Arhat Fist, had blood in energy churned in his chest. The horse stance he was holding with his two legs began to feel a bit weak. He quickly changed his movement technique into the Dragon Guard to dodge.

However, he never expected Robert to adapt without the slightest delay. The energy and senses of a five-star warrior were much stronger than those of a four-star warrior. His two legs stepped in succession in the Azure Dragon Fist’s Combat Step of the Astral Heavens. He thundered toward Qin Fen’s changed location from the Dragon Guard.

The Extending Claw of the Azure Dragon that Qin Fen had once dispersed before with his cannon fist came flying out with determination.

Robert was now angry. He vowed to use this move, which had just been dispersed by Qin Fen, to capture Qin Fen! Only in this manner could he reclaim his face of having a punch dispersed by a four-star while being a five-star.

“Roar!”

Qin Fen howled. The state of his entire self immediately changed greatly. He suddenly twisted his waist, spinning his body in the opposite direction. He moved to shoulder toward Robert’s dragon claw, and he instantly pulled his right shoulder inward. The first was whipped back to his chest, where true energy had accumulated to the limit. With a left and right sway of the horse stance, his arm was like an artillery shell fired from a cannon, simply smashing into the heart of the palm of the Extending Claw of the Azure Dragon.

This form of Qin Fen Soaring Cannon, in face of this pressure, was unleashed to a realm that Qin Fen had never been able to attain before.

The body acted as the frame, and the fist was the cannon! Large cannons were used in the second war in campaigns across the entire world. One cannon frame, one cannon barrel, bombards the mountain tops. Artillery shells flew wherever they pleased, and the heavens fell as the earth rends.

What kind of domineering and fierce grandness was this?

It was only until recently that Qin Fen had actually fired a real cannon. He was now incomparably familiar with the cannon, and he captured an essence he had never experienced before with the strike of this fist.

Bam! Palm and fist clashed, letting out an enormous rumble like one produced by a building falling over. The clothes on the two people’s arms were incapable of enduring the distortions caused by their strength. They ripped audibly, turning into rags.

Robert’s Extending Claw of the Azure Dragon was smacked dead center by Qin Fen’s Soaring Cannon. His five fingers clearly trembled for a moment before quickly withdrawing. His fingers clenched into a fist, the pressure of the action causing the air to crackle and pop.

Qin Fen took two consecutive steps back to steady his body. He wore a smile on his face as he suppressed the energy and blood in his chest that turned without end. With a gentle sway, he leaped out of the range of Robert’s Azure Dragon Claw.

The surrounding spectators were all stupefied by watching. Three moves had been struck out in a short time, and the ultimate ending resulted in neither a win for Robert nor a loss for Thirty-Six Hours.

The shock in Robert’s heart was larger than anyone else’s. He had actually lost this competition! His first strike of the Extending Claw of the Azure Dragon was forcefully dispersed by his opponent. The second strike, the Azure Dragon Tail Whip, had left him with a bit of an advantage. However, his third strike with the Extending Claw of the Azure Dragon should have secured victory by tightly clenching Qin Fen fist within, however, he had actually let his opponent strike collide with the fist for nothing, and he had even run away.

If this had been a fight between five-star strength and five-star strength, Robert could say it was the time. However, his opponent was clearly a warrior at the four-star level strength. Plus, the last fist of his opponent had been done in a manner that clearly gave Robert a chance to capture it, but Robert had not been able to seize it. This was his loss.

Qin Fen suppressed his churning blood and energy. He secretly made a comparison. This version of himself without the pressurized true energy of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and the Raging Berserker Tide could actually resist attacks of five-star strength. In the end, he had used the Guardian Dragon Deity Chaotic Dance as the cannon frame, and the result was far better than the true Soaring Cannon.

What if he were to use the pressurized true energy of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art? Qin Fen smiled when he thought of this. The one to be pushed back in this situation would clearly not be himself.

Of course, Robert wouldn’t be pushed back. He would be sent flying! He would fly just like Drill Instructor Butcher did!

What if he were to use the Raging Berserker Tide? Qin Fen clenched his fists in excitement. The conclusion he made just now was the on the spot death of Robert.

Could a four-star warrior kill a five-star warrior? Qin Fen found the idea to be inconceivable himself. Qin Fen wanted to go find the Vile King Zeng Yicheng and spar with him one more time. He wanted to see if Zeng Yicheng could still use one-star strength to overthrow him.

Robert stood in place for a long time before he ultimately opened his mouth and said, “Your control over strength far surpasses my imagination. That qualitative change of yours is a near marvel. When it comes to pure control over power down to a single point, very few people of five-star strength can compare to you, a four-star martial artist, in this field.”

Qin Fen nodded his head. He was able to fight a five-star martial artist to a standstill without even using an ultimate move.

Without that precise control over explosive power, the might of the last Soaring Cannon wouldn’t have been as powerful.

These days he trained even while eating. Every hour, every minute awake was spent in diligent training, and finally, some results came out of it.

When Qin Fen thought about these things, he couldn’t help having his frame of mind be excited once more. He gently moved and stretched his body as he faced Robert and said, “You can leave now, right?”

“Sigh...” Robert looked up into the sky and let out a deep sigh. “I originally wanted to recruit you into my Even Sky Tower, increasing my reputation. I never thought that this fight would have me become your stepping stone, instead of the other way around.”

Qin Fen smiled. This competition had been done in front of so many people. There will certainly be people who would spend money to download the recordings. When that happens, the recordings will be spread across the forums, attracting attention with its title. Tomorrow, Dragon Hall will have a different social status.

“Kid, I will be coming here tomorrow.” Robert tossed out a few words before turning around and heading down the street with his people.

Some people of the surrounding spectators of the other sects shook their heads over and over. “How tasteless. He can say that he turned on his heels and walked away when he fought.”

Robert stopped his leaving footsteps. He turned around and revealed a sly smile. “What I said back then was ‘Today I won’t say anything else if I lose. I’ll just turn around and leave.’ I never said that I wouldn’t come again.”

Qin Fen was disinclined to engage with wordplay with his opponent. These sorts of things have been played around with so much by Squad Leader Hao that it was not fun at all. It was great that Robert would come tomorrow again. After a night’s worth of digestion and settlement of the experience, it was very likely for Qin Fen to have new comprehensions and improvement. When that happened, he might not even need to use his ultimate skill to kill past his level, to possess the ability to kill a sizable portion of experts of the five-star level.

The sect-annihilation battle had concluded, and every one of Dragon Hall, aside from Qin Fen, were all bustling. They swept the battlefield clean, absorbing new members into their organization.

In a short period of time, the number of people who applied to join Dragon Hall was no less than seventy or so people, and they had no qualms about paying the membership fee at all.

As the vice sect master, Zhang Xiangyang knew that it was likely that Qin Fen’s counter-attack in the sect-annihilation battle already spread to the forums in the form of recordings.

The grandness of one man challenging several hundred. The boldness of a man wielding one M134 Vulcan Cannon in a daring challenge against the mobile armor. Such scenes could only occur in fantasy movies, yet a person really had done it today!

The illusionary hero, which only existed in the imagination, had suddenly turned into a real existence. When that happened, those who love heroes would naturally want to be a bit closer to a real one.

Seeing the number of people applying to Dragon Hall continue to increase, Zhang Xiangyang had his smile turn even more delighted. “Presumably, when a recording of Qin Fen fighting a meteor level martial artist to a tie with four-star strength appear on the forums, the number of applications to join Dragon Hall will become exceptionally lively.”

Qin Fen logged out of the Sky Battle Net. He didn’t go looking at the posts on the forums.

After experiencing a few matters, Qin Fen knew without even looking that there will be posts of one man challenging several hundred. Today these posts would certainly be spread in a large hubbub.

As for a four-star martial artist having tied with a meteor level martial artist, Qin Fen suspected that such a post would forever be bumped to a high spot, or at least for a very long time, on the four-star martial artist forums.
