Chapter 386: Mad Dragon Ferocious Tiger

Twenty-two minutes and forty-three seconds.

Gao Yuan looked at the time Yang Lie took to complete the assessment and took a while to recover recovered from the shock.

In the “Wu” stage, even if two martial artists only had a difference of just one second, the difference was like heaven and earth.

The record of nineteen minutes and twelve seconds was broken in less than half an hour? Gao Yuan looked at the Qin Fen in the screening hall. What kind of performance will this young man, whom Bai Sheng set his eyes on, show? It seems like most of these new martial artists know each other. Could it be that this young man is the strongest?

Brooks walked into the room, and Gao Yuan’s heart was once again nervous. The previous two young men were insanely strong when completing this stage. This person couldn’t be equally fierce, could he?

Thirty-six minutes and thirty-three seconds!

Brooks left the room. Both Gao Yuan and Bai Sheng stared in shock. Isn’t this a little too powerful? The Sacred Martial Hall’s record is one hour and twelve minutes. This young man actually completed it in half of the freak’s time?

Solomon then walked into the room. Gao Yuan’s face was filled with bitter smiles. Have we entered the era of the eruption of geniuses?

Bai Sheng supported his chin with his hand, and his expression was filled with the word “incomprehensible”. Whether it was Sky Splitter Brooks, Little Dragon King Yang Lie, or any of the other young martial artists from the Recruit Tournament, it was beyond anyone’s expectations that they would have entered the nine-star martial artists based on their performance six months ago.

But the sight in front of us… Bai Sheng shook his head again and again. These young people were all like butterflies that were reborn from a cocoon. Each and every one of them was amazing, and they had great momentum that garnered envy! These children who were about to turn nineteen had already achieved such strength. They could be considered as the pioneers of the young generation in the Federation.

One after another…

Gao Ren and Bai Sheng’s facial expressions had already become stiff. They had started to feel numb upon the sight of the back-to-back astonishing results.

One was surprising, two were shocking. However, when every one of them was like this, Gao Yuan started to feel numb. Are these geniuses really mass-produced?

The door opened again slowly. Yang Lie and Brooks looked at Qin Fen and Xue Tian at the same time. Only two more people have not entered the assessment this time. Who will be the first to enter?

After the “Wu” stage assessment, everyone slowly understood that whoever stayed in it for a longer time would be the one with a deeper foundation and strength.

Although this was not the key to determining the outcome of the battle, it could measure the strength of martial artists at this stage accurately.

Qin Fen and Xue Tian? Yang Lie stared curiously at the two people. These two are the strongest among all of us. How long will they last? Without having to fight, this room could be used to analyze who the strongest is at the current moment.

“Old Qin, you can go ahead.”

Xue Tian hugged the katana in his arms and raised his hand leisurely as he leaned against the wall.

Gao Yuan’s body that was slumped on the chair straightened slightly. The eyes that were slightly numb started to shrink and focus.

In the monitoring device, the young martial artists’ attitudes and movements couldn’t escape Gao Yuan’s eyes.

The gazes these astounding young martial artists had when they looked at each other was not as surprised. It was only when Qin Fen walked toward the room that almost everyone’s eyes were beaming with excitement, expectations, and predictions.

“A person who can make these amazing young martial artists pay attention!” Gao Yuan tapped his chin with his fingers and looked at Bai Sheng who was beside him, “Oh? Xiao Bai is even more excited than those young martial artists? Your eyes tell me that you’re hoping for him to break the highest record!”

Bai Sheng was so nervous that he did not notice that he had held his breath, and his eyes were locked on Qin Fen.

How long could he stay? Can he break the “Wu” Stage record?

Qin Fen looked at the big “Wu” character on the wall. This character was not too fresh. When Song Jia first held the ‘Contest for Marriage’ the other day, he had already seen a similar word.

However, that character was full of destructive damage. The longer one took to look at it, the greater the damage would be to the martial artists themselves. Today, this word was purely a guidance word.

One second… two seconds…

The huge “Wu” character twisted suddenly in Qin Fen’s sight. The thick black-bodied character “Wu” twisted and squirmed constantly as if it was alive, and then twisted and squirmed once again!

In less than a second, the “Wu” character had become a person! His two eyebrows were slightly long, and his eyes were extraordinarily spirited. His forehead was wide and bright, and his thick and black short hair matched his wide and strong body. He was about thirty years old and looked like Lord Guan from the temples except that his face was not red.

Temperament! The temperament he had was very much like Lord Guan’s!

The “Wu” character became a huge living person who walked down from the wall. Without stopping, the Seven-star Step of the Big Dipper was used under his foot, and Yang Lie’s Roaring Dragon Fist was used. Instantly, his body was like a walking dragon in the sky with an overwhelming aura.

When the “Wu” person activated, the blood in Qin Fen’s body naturally started pumping at an accelerated rate. His eyebrows were twitching non-stop, and he could already feel the palm power of his opponent clearly. It struck the middle region of his forehead like the legendary Ne Zha’s magical golden brick.

The palm had yet to strike, but the palm’s intention had already hit!

The “Wu” person used the Roaring Dragon Fist. The fist did not carry a strong roaring dragon-like wind like Little Dragon King Yang Lie’s, but it was wrapped tightly around his fist. It created a strong wind that didn’t have a dragon’s roar, yet was stronger than a dragon’s roar!

This kind of fist did not carry any strong roaring wind sounds at all. Because the speed of the fist was too fast for the palm’s wind to compress and condense, it formed a special condition that surrounded the palm.

“Isn’t this a little too extreme?”

Shi! The “Wu” person’s Roaring Dragon Fist had its palm power hit Qin Fen’s forehead. And only when it was a few centimeters away did the wind created by the fist blow up his black hair on his forehead!

Fast! Everything was crazily fast!

If one encountered Qin Fen before Nirvana Marrow Transformation or Young Hades, it would’ve been impossible to escape the fate of defeat under the attack at this moment.

The moment the black hair in front of his forehead was blown by the wind created by the Roaring Dragon Fist. The martial artist dived straight into it. Like a spear, the dragon-like arm created a “pa” sound as it was blocked by an arm that came from the side. The strong power had pushed the Roaring Dragon Fist aside.

By the skin of one’s teeth, Qin Fen’s raised right arm glided across the front of his face. Like multi-purpose glue, it was stuck onto the “Wu” person’s arm as it wiped it off to the side.

Twenty-four style simplified Tai Chi Fist’s Cloud Hand! Qin Fen’s knees were bent slightly, and his body moved vigorously. His back muscles swelled up to form a small meat mountain and smashed toward the “Wu” person’s chest.

Arhat Fist: Twisting Single Mountain Thrust!

His two feet stomped on the ground with great might, breaking the slates and bursting them into the air! The stamina that was poured into it was activated once again, and the gravel that was blown up in the air exploded non-stop.

Qin Fen in the monitor is moving! Bai Sheng and Gao Yuan were stunned at the same time and stared curiously at Qin Fen who was at the “Wu” stage.

Cloud hand of the Twenty-four style simplified Tai Chi Fist? Arhat Fist’s Twisting Single Mountain Thrust? Hong Quan, Dragon Fist…

Qin Fen had eyes that were obviously in a state of ecstasy. He had a body that resembled the wind and moved like lightning! The martial arts techniques learned were unleashed at this moment instinctively with a speed that was completely different from the usual.

In the blink of an eye, the hour-long twenty-four simplified Tai Chi fist that was originally gentle and slow was used fully by Qin Fen in just a few seconds.

“This is…” Gao Yuan looked at the screen blankly, and his eyes flashed with confused light, “What is going on? He obviously has not withdrawn from the “Wu” character. How can he move? No one has ever moved!”

Bai Sheng also looked at the Qin Fen on the screen with confusion. Why did the young man seem like he had been cast into a spell just after watching the “Wu” character for a few seconds? He waved his fist in thin air as if he was fighting with someone!

“Weird…” Bai Sheng shook his head and said with his lips shut slightly, “It’s weird, what is going on?”

Nine seconds… ten seconds… thirty seconds… forty seconds… forty-seven seconds…

Qin Fen was as mad as a dragon and as ferocious as a tiger. His body stopped suddenly, and his lost eyes were restored to its previous state. He then looked blankly at his surroundings that had been destroyed.

“Amazing… what an amazing character.” Qin Fen spat a long sigh and whispered to himself, “Just one character could actually make me fall into a martial dao illusion! Fortunately, I won. If I lost, I wonder if I would actually be dead.”

Forty-seven seconds? Gao Yuan’s eye muscles twitched for a couple of times, and his body that sat slumped on the chair bounced up suddenly with a speed that was comparable to the speed of a person whose bottom was stabbed with a knife!

“How can it be?”

Both Gao Yuan’s hands held the monitoring device and he stared blankly at Qin Fen who walked out of the room on the screen. This kind of result was not surprising as it had been achieved by many young people who came to the “Wu” stage. But today’s achievement was indeed too surprising.

The young man who held many record-breaking young martial artist’s hope and valued greatly by Bai Sheng had just gone berserk in the room for forty-seven seconds and came out unscathed?

“Forty-seven seconds?” Gao Yuan tapped the console again and again, “What is this? Forty-seven seconds?”

Bai Sheng raised his hands and massaged his temples as well. He was expecting Qin Fen to break the freak’s record in a go. He never expected him to just go berserk for forty-seven seconds and walk out.

“Fortunately… fortunately…” Bai Sheng leaned against the chair powerlessly. Fortunately, he went berserk for forty-seven seconds. If he only went berserk for twenty-nine seconds, he would’ve been eliminated.

With the opening of the door, Qin Fen walked out under the peculiar gazes of almost everyone.

“Forty-seven seconds?” Yang Lie couldn’t believe this number. Even if Qin Fen stayed there for a day and a night and end up leaving the room because he needed to pee, it wouldn’t be anything surprising. But this time of forty-seven seconds was too short.

The white-clothed youth looked at Qin Fen curiously. What just happened in the room?

“Old Qin…” Xue Tian leaned against the wall while he hugged his katana, “What made you suffer in there? I was listening outside and it was as if you turned into a demolition worker.”

Qin Fen couldn’t help but smile as he shook his head. The situation was just too fictional. He raised his hand and patted Xue Tian’s shoulder, “Be careful, the Wu character might come to life suddenly and attack you.”

“What Wu character?”

As Xue Tian walked into the room, his thumb pushed the katana’s handguard and half an inch of cold light burst from the scabbard.

“What a sharp blade!” Gao Yuan inhaled cool air, “A martial artist should be the same as his blade, how long will this person stay?”

Fifty-two seconds…

Unlike Qin Fen, Xue Tian did not destroy the Sacred Martial Hall building. He just stood in front of the character “Wu” for fifty-two seconds, turned away, and left the room.

“Fifty-two seconds?”

Gao Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. The last two people’s times were not considered to be outstanding. If it wasn’t because of Qin Fen’s sudden berserk punches for forty-seven seconds, perhaps it wouldn’t have impacted him as much.

“Little Bai…” Gao Yuan moved his thumb provocatively and pointed at Qin Fen on the screen, “Are you still sure that he can pass the next self-choice question stage? It’s even a paper stage… get ready to look after the computer room for a year then.”

Bai Sheng crossed his arms and had a small confident smile, “I don’t know what happened earlier, but I think you would still have to contribute your training notes.”

Gao Yuan smiled without saying anything. If it was Brooks who took the longest time, perhaps there could be a better chance of losing the bet. As for Qin Fen who only took forty-seven seconds, it would obviously not be lost.

“Kids.” Gao Yuan turn on the microphone and said with a smile, “Later, the left and right doors will open. On the left, you can enter Sacred Martial Hall directly. You are considered to have completed the assessment and may begin the journey of Sacred Martial Hall. On the right is an extra assessment. If you complete one of these assessments, you will get medications or other similar rewards by Sacred Martial Hall. Even if you do not complete any, there will be no penalty.”

Only rewards and no punishment? Everyone smiled. What more needs to be said about this situation? Naturally, we have to try it.

“Right.” Gao Yuan said, “Although there is no punishment, if there are some among all the people who were to enter can finish it, it will still be a very shameful thing for those who can’t.”

The room was quiet for a few seconds. Qin Fen smiled and walked into the door on the right. Sacred Martial Hall’s extra assessment should probably be more interesting? Although the battle with the “Wu” character was only a short period of forty seconds, he had still benefited a lot by having to infuse all his previous martial arts techniques into an actual battle to re-do the connections and summary.

Actual combat! Qin Fen nodded gently. Although practice in martial dao was important, actual combat was even more important! By going against Yang Lie and the others, victory would already be obtained even without having to get into an actual battle. As for Xue Tian? To fight one of my own with everything I have? That doesn’t seem too good either. If one of us dies accidentally, it could really be a lifelong regret.

One, two, three…

In the twinkling of an eye, only the white-shirted boy was left in the room. His handsome proud face showed hesitation, and he clenched his fists tightly, “As a martial artist, if I can’t accept the challenge, what kind of cowardly martial artist would I be? Defeat is not terrifying, the terrifying thing is not even having the courage to fight!”

After they passed through the corridor, a stone arch appeared in front of everyone.
