Chapter 282: The Tyrannical Might of External Oscillations

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the endless dark sky, a huge white screen was flickering, as if it was hiding the world’s deepest secret.

Master looked back at that blank screen as a pondering look appeared on his face.

At the sight of this, Qin Fen’s eyes were filled with incredulity. What is it that can give even a theoretical master of martial dao a problem deciding?

“Sigh…”

Master stared at Qin Fen’s face for a long time. Slowly, the furrow on his brow started relaxing. “Had you not have touched the threshold of oscillations on your own, had you not have grasped the most basic oscillations by yourself, had you been taught completely by me, I would have never shown you this picture. But contrary to what I had expected…”

Master clucked his tongue twice and slowly shook his head. “But contrary to what I had expected, you discovered it yourself, which had surpassed my calculations. In this case, I had no choice but to reevaluate whether I should show you this picture or not.”

What the hell is it? So mysterious? Qin Fen scratched his neck. He felt like several dozen monkeys were scratching his heart constantly.

The more mysteriously the things were covered up, the easier it was to pique other’s curiosity. And to a person who was deeply infatuated with martial dao, such attraction could even give him sleepless nights.

Master slowly raised his arm as that huge white screen in the sky started rolling, sometimes vague and sometimes distinct. It was hard to see the specific figure.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fen became tensed as the screen that made Master worried finally opened.

Bit by bit, as Master’s arm came down, the picture on that huge white screen on the sky slowly stabilized.

Standing in the screen was a human figure. This figure was different from the previous human figures that had a network of meridians. There was no network of meridians visible on this figure, it was just a purely human figure.

This seemingly ordinary man had his palm gently resting on a huge round rock that was more than five meters tall.

Qin Fen was staring at the picture with rapt interest. What does he want to do?

CRACK!

Suddenly, the rock under the man’s palm broke into pieces!

The fragmentation of the huge rock was far more than what Qin Fen had expected. It wasn’t like some fearsome expert had punched the rock body and split it into pieces.

Breaking into pieces and splitting into pieces were completely two different things.

Breaking into pieces meant breaking the rock into small pieces, which was different from splitting into pieces.

Qin Fen looked at the screen in the sky in a daze. Broke into pieces!? What on Earth did that man do in that instant? It was like the rock broke into pieces on its own. It’s not as if there were explosives hidden inside the rock that exploded.

Broke into pieces.. . Qin Fen held his chin with one hand. The man in the picture didn’t seem to have exerted any power. Neither did he applied any pressure through his arm, nor was there any release of true energy.

Master stood next to Qin Fen, silent. There was no joy nor sorrow on his face, making it difficult to understand as to what he was thinking exactly.

“Oscillations!?” The corner of Qin Fen’s left eyebrow twitched as he asked, looking at Master, “Oscillating the true energy while releasing it outside?”

A sliver of joy flashed past Master’s face before he waved his arm once more. Now, meridians underneath the skin of that ordinary-looking man were completely visible. The true energy in his body was slowly circulating. There wasn’t the slightest sign of any oscillations.

The true energy flowed through his palms resting on the huge rock and started oscillating rapidly.

Qin Fen’s eyebrows twitched as his mouth went agape. So the true energy was indeed released!? However, because the true energy was oscillating at a unique frequency, it hid the release of true energy, deceiving the eyes.

In the picture, the man shattered the rock into pieces again and again under a close-up look. Meanwhile, Qin Fen’s eyes were completely glued on the man’s palm, which was the real key to breaking the rock into pieces in the blink of an eye. It was a martial arts concept that had never been touched before.

“Kid.” Master’s voice slowly resounded. “I had never intended to tell you, that is the reason why I hide the circulation method of true energy. But who would have thought that you would be able to guess the reason of oscillations even when you couldn’t see the meridians? This proves that you indeed have the qualifications to watch and understand it.”

Qin Fen’s eyes were glued to that true energy oscillations of the palm and his jaw moved slightly several times. This combat technique was indeed beyond imagination. Not every oscillation frequency could crush the rock into pieces. The frequency played a major role at this moment. And it was really not easy to figure out the frequency of this oscillation.

“The true energy oscillation is divided into internal and external oscillations.” Master slowly went and stood beside Qin Fen. “In the cultivation of true energy, the strengthening of martial artists’ body needs internal oscillations and external oscillations in combat. This is also why Vile King, Zeng Yicheng, was able to defeat you with control and asked you to further increased the control over your true energy.”

Qin Fen slowly nodded. Had it not been for Vile King, Zeng Yicheng’s request of true energy control, he might not have been able to comprehend the threshold of oscillations today.

Qin Fen looked at the true energy oscillations of the man’s palm once more. He would easily suffer a loss if he didn’t know and rushed to fight with a fellow martial artist who could use the oscillations.

After half a minute, Qin Fen closed his eyes and clenched his fist tightly. He had memorized the frequency of oscillations completely, but he still couldn’t apply it. He still needed to practice it.

“Master,” Qin Fen opened his eyes. “Can I ask something? Why did I feel that although this external oscillation is very powerful, it’s not invincible? I feel that the firm and fierce of Dragon Elephant Prajna Art can counter it even if I don’t use any oscillations. Using oscillations does not necessarily enhance the strength, can you show me the purpose of this?”

Master’s jaw slightly dropped as a bit of joy appeared in his eyes. “Kid, your talent might not be the best I have ever seen but your perception is at the top of everyone I have ever seen. You know how to reflect. It’s really valuable. Many talented young martial artists would not even consider anything when they see a powerful martial art and would immediately want to learn it.”

Qin Fen scratched his head upon hearing this. Even after having learned the divine art of how to be thick-skinned from Squad Leader Hao, he finally lost to the praise of Master. He could no longer accept it calmly.

“That’s right! There are reasons why I let you watch the external oscillations but don’t let you learn it completely.” Master waved his arm as the screen in the sky disappeared. And instead, a picture that was very familiar to Qin Fen appeared.

Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds!

On the screen, as soon as Qin Fen, like a God of War descended on Earth, cast the Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds, the air around him began to change. Muffled claps of thunder sounded around his waving arm as a huge tree was broken down the middle by a punch.

Qin Fen looked at Master in dismay. He had hardly cast such an Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds in front of anyone. These muffled claps of thunder could only be made after having walked through the entire Qinghai and after having a deep understanding of the road of martial dao. Even if it wasn’t Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds, he could still make similar claps, but their sounds were far weaker than Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds.

“This is Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds after you have reached the sonic boom realm.” Master smiled shallowly. “But, this ace can only be used once, and that is when you are ambushed.”

Qin Fen gradually nodded and raised his eyebrows. “Master, what is a Sonic Boom Realm? When I was ambushed last time, I also heard the attacker say Sonic Boom Realm. Is martial art not just divided into star-class?”

“Hahaha.” Master laughed and shook his head. “Martial artists who have entered the Sonic Boom Realm and still don’t know about it are truly rare. Although martial arts are divided into star-classes, that does not include the entirety of martial dao. The realm is perception, a new understanding of power; only then can you display it. Perhaps some people who can reach a certain understanding at six-star or seven-star level reach this realm. But there may be some people who cannot understand what power is even after having reached twelve-star level.”

Qin Fen thought about it calmly and quietly. Meanwhile, Master continued speaking, “Only those martial artists who have understood what power is can truly bring out the essence of power. And those who are obsessed with star-class could never able to reach the true peak of martial arts. They can become a powerful expert for a while, but they are unable to become a world-renowned grandmaster.”

Qin Fen slowly nodded in agreement. After having walked thought Qinghai, Qin Fen had a new perception of martial dao. His strength was quite different from before. Before when he had used his walk to understand it, it was still somewhat puzzling. But now, after having listened to this explanation from Master, everything had started to become clear.

“Do you know why I let you watch your Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds?” Like a primary school teacher, Master was inducing his student to come up with an answer.

“This…” Qin Fen raised his head and looked at the screen before asking attentively, “Is it because my Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds has a fatal flaw?”

Master smiled and asked, “Do you think there is?”

“I don’t think so!” Qin Fen shook his head in a very determinant manner. “This is my own punch that I have carefully created.”

“Yes! Although it’s not perfect, it indeed does not have any fatal flaw.” Master looked up at the screen. “It’s very difficult to create a punch like this. Not only is it powerful, but its aura of power is ten times its power.”

“Why is that?” Qin Fen heaved a sigh of relief. “Master, I really can’t tell.”

“Because of this.” God knows how many times Master had waved his arms today. The screen in the sky changed again. This time, when Qin Fen cast the Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds, his meridians, as well as the circulation of his true energy, appeared on the screen.

Qin Fen gazed at the circulation route, the splitting, gathering, and eruption of his true energy with rapt attention. Is this the so-called perfect circulation method which Master appreciated?

As the screen in the sky grew bigger and bigger, the true energy circulating in Qin Fen’s meridians became clearer and clearer. Qin Fen’s countenance grew uglier as the true energy in the meridians became clearer.

This…!? The corner of Qin Fen’s eyes twitched fiercely. Is this Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds? How did I not noticed it before?

Much to his dismay, his meridians were injured just as the power of Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds erupted on the screen! If the screen had not been enlarged several times, he simply would not have noticed it.

Qin Fen looked at the close-up replay with dismay, again and again. The superb punch I had painstakingly created actually has such side effects! If I keep on using it continuously, especially in battle, then… the meridians of my arm are very likely to…
