Chapter 381: Martial Dao Three Thousand – I’m On Divine Dao

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Sacred Martial Hall.

There was a glint of excitement in the eyes of the young martial artists immediately. The Sacred Martial Hall could be described as one of the Holy Sites of martial arts training in the world — a dream school for many, if not all of the martial artists around the world.

Almost everyone in the room held an invitation to the Sacred Martial Hal. Anyone wis.h.i.+ng to refine their martial arts to the next level at the Hall was welcome to do so by requesting a leave with the army.

“You are going to the Sacred Martial Hall?” Yang Lie took deep breaths repeatedly, “Then I have to step up my game! Before you go to the Sacred Martial Hall, I have to complete the Blood Transfusion Rebirth, entering the ranks of ten-star martial artists and go to the Sacred Martial Hall together with you.”

“That’s right.” Brooks clenched his fists unconsciously, “I have to complete the Blood Transfusion Rebirth as soon as possible, entering the ranks of the ten-star and go to the Sacred Martial Hall…”

The rest of the young martial artists in the room remained silent — showing only those bright and sharp eyes, radiating fighting spirits br.i.m.m.i.n.g with eagerness to try. The words of Yang Lie and Brooks described their thoughts exactly.

Caesar looked at Qin Fen, his heart once again filled with countless emotions. It is my luck that I was able to meet this guy. If I did not meet him in the recruit compet.i.tion, I probably would have gone to the Sacred Martial Hall with an ambitious spirit. If that was the case, I am sure that my future in the martial dao would not have been as good as what it currently is at this moment.

While natural talent played a role in one’s martial dao, the foundations of the arts were equally as important.

The martial artists got to know each other well during these two months of recuperation. Qin Fen mentored everyone throughout the period, providing far better outcomes in improving their skills than closed training sessions for two years with the elders.

As for the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, not only did it save everyone’s time, it was also able to guide everything in a systematic way thanks to the image. It was no different from the original Blood Transfusion Rebirth, but everyone was able to do it in a more comprehensive manner, resulting in a more robust foundation.

The room soon returned to its initial silent state. The young martial artists wasted no time in resuming their training — some were working toward breaking the limit of the nine-star strength, while others resumed their training on the Blood Transfusion.

Xue Tian hopped off his wheelchair and hopped on Qin Fen’s bed, forcibly claiming a “territory” of his own. Just like Qin Fen, he leaned back on a stack of four pillows, “Why do you want to go to the Sacred Martial Hall all of a sudden?”

Qin Fen looked at the almost fully recovered Xue Tian who was able to move freely yet pretending to be unable to do so, just to receive the care of the beautiful nurse, and stared at the ceiling while speaking with an intense but aspired tone, “At the beginning, I just wanted to make a fortune through martial dao to find someone. But because of Song Jia, I’ve become acquainted with the world of martial dao to a point where I am fond of practicing martial arts and enjoying the feeling of becoming stronger.”

Xue Tian nodded in agreement with a smile. Everyone might begin their martial dao journey with different motivations, but all would eventually meet the same fate of getting entrapped in the charm of the martial dao.

“Speaking of which, I used to be very inconsistent in my training.” Qin Fen lamented as his eyes began a reel of flashbacks to his past, “Until I met White Tiger and got hit by his palm. It jolted me awake completely.”

Xue Tian reached out from the bed and touched a complimentary bottle of nutrient drink from Enzo Rota, arguably one of the most disgusting drinks in existence. He then drank the vile concoction with visible disgust while listening to Qin Fen’s story.

“Because of my injury, everyone had to stay in the hospital together.” Qin Fen shook his head and sighed, “I am not strong enough to guarantee the safety of my friends around me, especially when all of you are so ma.s.sively hotheaded. The palm by White Tiger had broadened my horizons on what it means to possess superior power and the intricateness of the martial dao. So…”

Qin Fen took a deep breath. His powerful lung capacity inhaled air for more than two minutes continually while producing whistling sounds in the air, “I want to become stronger, and I want to change. I want to test my limits and see how far I can go down on the path of martial dao! I am not going to stick to my old ways. I want to be consistently and actively taking the initiative in my training! I will go to the Sacred Martial Hall eventually one way or another, and these two months is a perfect time for me to lay a solid foundation before heading to the Sacred Martial Hall.”

“Ohhh,” Xue Tian wiped the unappetizing syrup residue from his mouth while being stoic to the ordeal, “I heard that the Sacred Martial Hall provides free accommodation and food. There may also be beautiful ladies in the Hall, we should go together.”

Qin Fen turned to look at Xue Tian, whose face had turned green by the potion. Qin Fen nodded admirably; the potion was so vile that Little Dragon King, Yang Lie had almost fainted on the spot. Xue Tian, however, was able to finish the drink nonchalantly. If Enzo Rota saw this, you could be sure that the next batch of nutrient potions would be even worse.

Seven days flew by in the blink of an eye. Qin Fen was finally discharged from the hospital after two months of nursing and recovery. His spirits were evidently higher than before.

Solomon and others also made progress in their training, and Yang Lie became the next person to complete the Blood Transfusion Rebirth after Caesar.

Thirty-four minutes and twenty-six seconds was the time it took for Yang Lie to enter the ranks of ten-star martial artists after completing the Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

The record was still slightly inferior compared to Caesar’s, but it was still a remarkable speed that caused envy among other young martial artists who had yet to complete their Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

Everyone knew it clearly that if it wasn’t for Caesar’s outstanding record, the announcement of Yang Lie’s speed record of entering the ten-star was enough to be lauded by the senior masters in the realm of martial dao.

While data imagery of the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth was powerful, efforts and insights of the martial artist in question were still required to complete the Transfusion. Among the martial artists, only Yang Lie managed to complete the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth within seven days.

Brook was the earliest one to peak and reach nine-stars. As he witnessed the breakthrough of the others, Brook was depressed to the point where he refused to sleep and raced against the others in completing the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

Today was the day Qin Fen was discharged from the hospital. Not only were Yu Xiao and the others from the Special Security Detachment present to celebrate Qin Fen’s discharge from the hospital, Solomon, who was in the middle of his closed-door training, also came out just to celebrate with Qin Fen.

“Master, the discharge procedure is done.” Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi pushed the door open, “You may go.”

“Thank you for your help.” Qin Fen patted Kyokus.h.i.+n Genichi’s shoulder and looked at the room again, “Eh, where is Caesar?”

Xue Tian leaned against the window sill and pointed outside the window to the courtyard downstairs with his right index finger, “Caesar is waiting for you below.”

Qin Fen’s eyes looked out below the window. Caesar wasn’t wearing his military outfit today. Instead, he was wearing a golden martial artist outfit. He closed his eyes silently and stood still, completely immersed in his own world as he made final attunements with his body and spirit.

Martial artists usually only make such attunements before a life-or-death duel in order to display their full strength during the duel.

Caesar had been adjusting his body and mental state for seven days. Despite not being an opponent for Qin Fen, he still wanted to fight with Qin Fen again.

The completion of the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth complemented with seven days of adjustment right after had allowed Caesar’s spirits to reach new heights like never before.

Qin Fen stood on the fourth floor overlooking Caesar in the courtyard, his mouth producing only sounds of awe and praise. Caesar had indeed grown a lot in two months, being able to completely separate between his posture and aura.

Before the fight, the posture should be lowered as much as possible, but the aura should not be lowered at the slightest. If ordinary martial artists were to lower their posture, it would affect and weaken their aura as a result.

In the past, Caesar exuded the emperor’s aura while maintaining a prideful state. Both states were unable to be completely separated. That isn’t because he did not want to do so, but rather because he was unable to do so.

For more than two months, almost all of the young martial artists had undergone a transformation with Caesar being the most outstanding one among the crowd.

After seven days of adjustment, Caesar even gained the confidence to duel with the young Netherworld King, Hades on that day! The surrounding hollies slightly shed their leaves at that very moment, as if they were submitting to the emperor.

Qin Fen did not duel with anyone for more than two months. As he witnessed Caesar’s overwhelming aura at the courtyard downstairs, the hibernating spirit of the martial dao within him awoke once again.

Qin Fen opened the window, jumped into the air, and landed downstairs.

Qin Fen’s quick and simple action caused differing reactions among everyone all of a sudden.

Martial artists of nine-stars and above jumped out the window with Qin Fen, albeit involuntarily. Yu Xiao and the others turned and bolted out the door, opting for the stairs in order to save time.

Qin Fen touched the ground with his feet, his slightly forward-leaning body reducing the impact. His knees then proceeded to slightly bend and launched himself thirty meters forward, landing right in front of Caesar.

The aura from this leap was significantly softer compared to the stormy battles in the past. This leap produced a feeling resembling a leisure stroll in the courtyard instead.

However, the stroll was slightly exaggerated as the distance covered was nearly thirty meters in just a single step. Other patients strolling in the courtyard did not even have the time to be amazed watching Qin Fen arriving less than a meter in front of Caesar.

Caesar, whose eyes were closed all the while, suddenly felt tremors through his fair skin. As if a calm lake was disturbed by a stone, Caesar’s skin produced an indescribable ripple oscillation.

“Caesar, let me see how much progress you have made.” Qin Fen finished, raised his arm and turned his right palm to Caesar.

Qin Fen’s palm was slower than before, with the entire arm naturally sent out by the shoulder.

With his eyes closed, Caesar didn’t look at Qin Fen’s palm. However, the whole process of the palm technique was instead perfectly presented in his mind.

With the attunement of the mental and physical state over the past seven days, Caesar did not need to open his eyes for this moment. Just by relying on the martial senses acc.u.mulated to the brim, Caesar was able to sense everything, including the slight bouncing motions of Qin Fen’s shoulder muscles – one of the power sources of the palm.

Papapapa…

A series of true energy oscillations were performed within Qin Fen at high speed, like a bunch of firecrackers releasing during the Spring Festival.

Suddenly, Qin Fen’s palm muscles and skin started vibrating fast! Caesar’s ears heard the sound of water gus.h.i.+ng out of an opened faucet as his face could no longer maintain his initial calmness.

This was no rupture of a nearby water pipe. Rather, the sound of blood flowing through blood vessels came from Qin Fen’s body as he moved his limbs. The gus.h.i.+ng sound was produced by Qin Fen’s rapid squeezing of blood vessels within his muscles!

Once upon a time, Qin Fen was able to produce the sound of gus.h.i.+ng blood only by transforming into something resembling a mythical legendary demon. If he could now do the same by lifting his limbs, how much did Qin Fen really improve over two months of inactivity?

The hairs of Caesar’s body stood up all of a sudden. This very palm no longer contained the past aura of sheer brute force, but rather a new aura capable of moving mountains and filling up seas just like a deity in mythology. The ability to exert such overwhelming force with a lift of a finger had led to the force of the palm strike equating to a ma.s.sive mountain made possible through the inhuman powers of the deities.

Even the emperor of the human realm was unable to singlehandedly resist the overwhelming power of a mountain!

Caesar opened his tightly shut eyes all of a sudden and stared at his palms calmly, like an emperor enjoying the view of their great rivers and mountains. Finally, Caesar’s hands sprung into action as Qin Fen’s palms were closing on to his chest! As Caesar pressed his hands toward, he coincidentally locked his hands right onto Qin Fen’s wrist! As Caesar’s huge hands locked and twisted the wrists in opposite directions, his arms resemble a dragon in the pillar of ancient architecture, locking itself on Qin Fen’s arms.

A left, and a right! This was Little Dragon King, Yang Lie’s Shuanglong Pan Column! It successfully entangled the palm that was pressuring with the might of a mountain, and Caesar then applied downwards pressure to the palm!

Qin Fen’s eyes brightened up a little, “Not bad!”

As the three arms of these two men made contact, none of their clothing could withstand the huge twisting force. Sounds of clothes tearing apart resonated crisply across the area, with small pieces of cloth flying about at the gap between both of them.

Not a moment before the sound of tearing cloth came to a halt, the arms of both men collided like the cras.h.i.+ng of high tides, creating a fierce sea tide echo as they clashed.

This sound wasn’t created by the muscle collision, nor was it produced by the impact of both forces. Rather, it was the sound caused by the rapid collision of true energy rapid oscillation between Caesar and Qin Fen!

As the arms entangled, Caesar clearly felt the terrifying frequency of power within Qin Fen’s arm – true energy seemed to have been condensed into thousands of steel needles, erupting in unison in a split moment!

Such a tremendous force of true energy oscillation! The true energy oscillating within Caesar’s arms dissipated instantly! His legs, unable to maintain the horse stance, began to retreat. He had retreated ten steps before he was able to stabilize his stance. Qin Fen halted his palm movements in an instant, firmly stopping it right in front of Caesar’s chest.

The young martial artists who just landed looked at Caesar quietly. His s.h.i.+rt was drenched with cold sweat, and they stood on a powdery path that was once blue bricks before Caesar’s hasty retreat.

There was a brief silence in the courtyard where even the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard.

Yang Lie lips twitched, but he didn’t express anything resembling a smile. There were a few drops of cold sweat surfacing on his forehead.

Qin Fen is too strong, right? Yang Lie did not wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, focusing on Qin Fen’s fixed palm as he shook his head repeatedly.

Caesar had actually completed the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth and entered the ranks of ten-star martial artists! It was rare to find martial artists possessing such talents, and even more so to find rivals of a similar caliber! To a degree where he was decisively defeated, more so than the previous fight with Qin Fen!

How… how is this possible? Yang Lie’s eyes twitched repeatedly, Although I knew that Caesar was unlikely to prevail in this challenge, I totally did not expect such a quick defeat!

Last time, when Qin Fen was also a ten-star martial artist that mastered the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, it was natural for him to have defeated Caesar, who at that time had not yet completed the Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

But this time, both were on an equal playing field – being ten-star martial artists and mastering the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth! Why was Caesar defeated in a blink of an eye in such a clear cut manner?

How did the battle become a battle between an infant and an adult?

Caesar lowered his head and gazed at Qin Fen’s palm that just halted barely in front of his chest, “Incredible! Your true energy oscillation is not only amazingly fast but also terrifying for the fact that you are able to maintain the limit of your energy pa.s.sage while oscillating at that frequency! Swift and ferocious, I have much more to learn from you! It is no surprise that you are daring enough to boast that you can defeat eleven-star martial artists in a blink of an eye. If it weren’t for the overpowering true Qi possessed by the thirteen-stars, I’m afraid that you would have openly challenged them by now.”

Little Dragon King, Yang Lie gently applauded, leading the rest to do the same right after. Although the duel was short, it was still very amazing. Qin Fen’s fist was no longer the brute-natured fist from the past, but something altogether different – the huge aura power responsible for the overpowering true energy oscillation amazed everyone.

Brooks slowly walked over to both of them with his eyes a.s.sessing Qin Fen, “I thought that you only used these two months to solidify your foundation. I didn’t expect at all that these two months didn’t cause a pause on your momentum to improve yourself. Be it the harmonization of the aura, true energy oscillation, and comprehensive strength, you are clearly a cut above the rest of us.”

“Ah!” Little Dragon King, Yang Lie let out a long helpless sigh, “I thought I am able to close the power gap between you and I. It is really unexpected that you were already ahead of us, miles away in shaping your own world of Martial Dao and testing out comprehensive strength when we began to work on the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth. When we were with others, we felt an overwhelming sense of superiority. However, the more time we spend with you, the more I’m afraid that I’m going to lose my mind and give up on martial dao altogether.”

Everyone laughed while nodding their heads. Although the Little Dragon King exaggerated when he talked about having his confidence destroyed to the point him giving up on martial dao, Qin Fen’s rapid progress in his martial dao was undoubtedly beyond everyone’s expectations.

Qin Fen took back his palm as he turned around and bowed respectfully to a giant tree nearby, straightened his waist, nodded at it and said, “Thank you.”

Thank you ? Yang Lie, Caesar, and others were shocked at the same time, What is Qin Fen thankful for?

…

The huge tree was silent for a while, but spoke plain yet grateful words shortly after, “You… are pretty good.”

“Is someone there?” Yang Lie asked as he began to bolt for the tree at lightning speed with his dragon-shaped movement technique, only to be immobilized by a force resembling a lightning strike. There shouldn’t be anyone behind the tree, as there were no footprints at all at the origin of the sound.

Not bad? Qin Fen showed a faint smile while recalling the words told by the shadow when he left. Is Shadow praising him for his palm strike earlier, or was he praising him for managing to pinpoint his hiding spot?

He couldn’t know for sure. Qin Fen shook his head. This time he was able to pinpoint the location of the shadow. Apart from the earlier guidance by his drill instructor, a little luck was also vital in pinpointing the shadow’s location. Without that little luck, he wouldn’t be able to pinpoint the shadow’s exact location.

“Expert.” Yang Lie shrugged and jumped back to Qin Fen and said again, “Qin Fen, it seems that you have realized the martial dao of your own. Although there seems to be a sense of indescribable carefreeness in that shot, the real martial dao is, in fact, hiding that vast power under the façade of carefreeness, am I right?”

“Yes.” Qin Fen nodded. “Thanks to the information you shared. If Caesar is taking the martial dao of the Martial Emperor, then I’m going down the path of Divine Dao. Although G.o.d is only existent in myths, his spirit was however heartfelt and real from the countless traditions and reinterpretation by mankind!”
