Chapter 483: Forward, Forward, Forward!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

At the highest floor of the Wu Zun Tower, Wu Zun, who had a young and handsome outer appearance, stood quietly in front of the huge french window and quietly gazed at the distant places.

Gentle sighs came from behind Wu Zun as six martial artists who wore the same standard warrior suit slowly appeared behind Wu Zun. The twelve eyes looked at the retreating figure of Xue Tian and the others from far, just like how Wu Zun did.

“Ai… what a pity…” Fairy Star gave another sigh and started a new conversation, “Xue Tian, this kid could definitely surprise everyone outside if we had more time.”

The other sacred martial stars continuously nodded in silence and stared at Xue Tian with unwillingness. Young martial artists like him were really rare geeks that could only be seen once in a million years.

Even for stronger martial artists who could enter the realm of unity of man and nature, they would only enter the mysterious and absolutely unpredictable realm of unity of man and nature when there’s a sudden opening of soul or an instinctive sentiment.

But Xue Tian! Wu Zun remembered that Xue Tian had suddenly entered the realm of The Unity of Man and Nature while he was asleep. He had truly set an unprecedented record.

Wu Zun had witnessed countless talented martial artists, but he had never met a freak like Xue Tian, who dozed off into the Unity of Man and Nature. If this news was passed to divine beast martial artists, their eyes would definitely pop out of their heads.

Wu Zun shook his head gently while looking at the departure of Xue Tian. This young man possessed martial talents that even Wu Zun was jealous of. Wu Zun had trained Xue Tian diligently as if he was a sacred martial six-star. Xue Tian wouldn’t even have the strength to open his mouth after training every day, but he would immediately be active again the next day. As long as Xue Tian’s ability allowed him to, he would show the opponent’s moves from yesterday’s battle.

As time went by, both Wu Zun and the sacred martial six-star had to come up with more and more secret arts to fight Xue Tian, but Xue Tian would absorb all the moves just like a huge sponge, despite how powerful they were.

In the latest battle, Fairy Star felt that he wasn’t fighting Xue Tian, it felt as if he was fighting the other sacred martial star artists or master Wu Zun.

Others would usually make changes to the moves they learned, so there would be some differences even though it might look similar. However, Xue Tian swallowed everything in one gulp when he learned. The moves that he used in battles were all still in their original forms. If your eyes were closed during the battle, these various martial styles may feel like they were coming from the same person.

The sacred martial six-stars smiled at each other, they knew that the other person had the same thoughts as themselves.

Wu Zun’s eyes smiled, and with words that were calm like usual, he said, “Everyone has different paths and I’m looking forward to this little guy’s path.”

The route for them to go back was different from the route they came from. Everyone was basically walking in a line with the existence of a super compass, Xue Tian.

Walking through multiple departments, Qin Fen suddenly saw a familiar residential area, the Sacred Martial Hall ‘People’ Residential Area!

The Sacred Martial Hall was a special location with lots of strict rules. The sky residential area here was provided for the martial artists of the Inner Sacred Martial Hall. Their living environment and conditions were far better than the people’s area and the land’s area.

The sky’s residential area did not only possess superb living facilities, but it was also closer to the residential area of stronger martial artists.

The people’s area could be said as the outermost layer of all residential areas. Qin Fen’s thoughts immediately went back to the day when he first entered the Sacred Martial Hall and spent time in its glorious traditions as he looked at these houses.

The others also remembered those happy days as they saw the houses here and they could not help but smile.

After passing through the buildings, a group of people suddenly appeared on the road ahead. They formed a huge circle and a hubbub of shouting came from all corners.

The circle formed by this group of people wasn’t closely arranged, they stood together sparsely. Most of them had martial outfits of the people’s residential area, while several people had elderly outfits of the people’s residential area.

“Glorious tradition?” Xue Tian raised his eyebrows and twitched his mouth, “I haven’t seen situations like this for a long time.”

The crowd did not stop at all, they went all the way to the outermost layer of the crowd. Qin Fen’s eyebrows jumped as he saw the young man in the middle of the battle ring.

Qin Fen realized that he actually knew the people of the battle group. Isn’t the tall black guy with short blond hair and the strength of a nine-star class Zeus Mark, the opponent I faced during the recruit tournament?

As for Mark’s opponent… Ma Jun Tie, who Qin Fen coincidentally met on the dock.

Ma Juntie! Qin Fen saw that the one receiving glorious tradition in the crowd was the Ma Jun Tie who he met when he came. There was no chance of winning for Ma Jun Tie with the strength of the six-star class to fight Mark with the strength of the nine-star class.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Mark didn’t use all his strength, Ma Juntie would’ve already lost. Mark only took out the most powerful seven-star strength. The punches and kicks were the best set of thunder fists, every punch targeted Ma Jun Tie. If it weren’t for Ma Juntie’s amusing dodges, he would’ve been defeated by the opponent’s fists.

Qin Fen’s raised eyebrows frowned tightly. Just with a glance, he could see that Ma Jun Tie’s power of understanding wasn’t just somewhat good.

In the eyes of many martial artists, the Four Pillars of Dynamic Art was just a set of dynamic exercises to train internal strength. However, Qin Fen, as a master of martial arts, knew that the Four Pillars of Dynamic Art was not just to train internal strength, it was also an outer fighting style. The person who created this set of exercises was very interesting as he wanted to combine both inner and outer. Unfortunately, his martial art foundation was not strong enough, so the final product came out as the Ten Pillars dynamic art.

Qin Fen used the basics of the Ten Pillars of Dynamic Art and altered it to the Eighteen Pillars inborn movement. It did not overthrow the ideas of the predecessors, it was a completion that successfully combined movement and stillness as one! There weren’t only movements in battle, there was also static.

The original creation of the Eighteen Pillars inborn movement was to combine movement and stillness as one in battle while also practicing internal strength.

Qin Fen did not explain the usage of the Eighteen Pillars of Dynamic Power when he was on the boat. He only told Ma Jun Tie the details to pay attention to while training the Eighteen Pillars of Dynamic Power.

Qin Fen never imagined that this young martial artist who he met on the boat had such a high power of understanding! Although he had just started training, Ma Jun Tie actually incorporated the Eighteen Pillars of Dynamic Power in the battle. Many parts were not fully proficient, but the reason why he wasn’t overtaken by the opponent’s strongest seven-star strength was because he had successfully incorporated the two words, “sky” and “land” of the Eighteen Pillars of Dynamic Power.

The sky and land were the two pillars that Qin Fen added to the Ten Pillars of Dynamic Art to create the Twelve Pillars of Dynamic Art. These two pillars were also the hardest ones to train. Ma Jun Tie was able to use it, albeit with difficulty, even though he just started learning. It formed an irregular self little scope with numerous loopholes that made the opponent unable to attack.

“This martial technique?”

Xue Tian clicked his tongue, the expression of Caesar and the other’s were filled with surprise. They never thought that a small six-star martial artist could possess such powerful secret art.

Qin Fen’s team was almost entirely composed of martial arts masters. Everyone had an original insight, they could see the difference in Ma Jun Tie with a glance. At the same time, they were curious about why this young man with such martial skills only had the strength of a six-star class.

People in the crowd started to whisper, “This kid is awesome. Zeus is a nine-star class martial artist, his martial insights are far superior than the opponent’s. He should be able to defeat the opponent with the strength of a six-star class, but he couldn’t even win with the strongest power of the seven-star class. Isn’t he too weak?”

“A nine-star class, so what? He only became a nine star-class the day before yesterday. I am afraid that he will be stuck in this star-class for the next five years. He might be a genius outside, but he’s just an ordinary martial artist here. Maybe the six-star class kid will be able to surpass Mark in a short period of time.”

The whispers of the crowds rapidly fell into the ears of Mark in the battle. Mark’s heart was unbalanced and impatient since he knew about the sudden improvements in the strengths of Yang Lie and others, and how they had improved so much so that they were being recruited as disciples by various departments of the heads of departments. He wanted to teach this new recruit a lesson today, but he didn’t expect that he would suffer a hidden loss by the opponent when he used the six-star class strength. He had to use the strength of the seven-star class to suppress the opponent, but he never thought that he wouldn’t be able to suppress the opponent.

The whispers were like knives, digging and cutting the heart of Zeus. The calm battle spirit started to be impetuous.

Win! I must win! Lightning sparks sparkled in the blue pupils of Zeus. Two deep blue rays suddenly appeared at the back of his waist. The nine-star class lightning power erupted fully, the two jug-sized fists sounded with the power of lightning.

Nine-stars! The powerful strength suddenly erupted. The slabs under Zeus’ feet within two meters were shattered. His figure was like lightning as the burnt smell of lightning spread through the air. The seven-star martial artists could barely see the blue electric light figure of Zeus clearly. He was like an indignant Zeus holding the lightning in his hands, a huge lightning fist broke through the invisible air and landed on Ma Jun Tie’s stomach.

Boom!

The sound of the heavy punch was like a defeat. Both of Zeus’ feet were two inches deep in the ground and his majestic body was like a mountain that was suppressed.

The crowd was surprised when they realized that someone who wasn’t considered handsome was standing between Zeus and Ma Jun Tie. His face was like a cold pool, and with a gentle raise of his palms, the lightning fist of Zeus Mark that could electrocute a rhinoceros into cooked beef was held in his palms.

“You… Du Peng…”

The two lightning eyes of Mark stared wide open at the opponent who held his fist as if it was just wind and clouds. It turned out to be the Du Peng that was beaten up badly by Mark during the recruit tournament and was discharged from the hospital after receiving treatment for a long time.

Du Peng’s palm was much smaller than Mark’s fist. The fist of Mark was about three meters bigger, as big as the brain of an average person. The palm of Du Heng which was bigger than average looked weak in front of Mark’s fist.

Many people were worried, how long could this palm hold onto this huge fist?

Du Peng didn’t even look at Mark’s fist, which couldn’t even move an inch further, and looked straight into Mark’s eyes, “Mark, he’s just a kid who had only just entered the Sacred Martial Hall. Even if it is a glorious tradition, it is still too much. Were you trying to abolish him?”

“Du Peng…you…”

Mark continued to draw his power, wanting to push through Du Peng’s palm. However, he realized with sorrow that his fist was like hitting the body of a huge mountain and it was impossible to move this huge mountain.

“Mark, jealousy won’t be able to help you gain power.” Du Peng smiled with self-depreciation, “Although these words are sappy to say, this is the truth. I started to understand how to use my power only when I thoroughly understood my brother’s love for me. The power will only get close to me when I understand how it is used.”

Mark’s eyes kept on twitching. He looked at Du Peng’s self-deprecating look with preaching intentions, and the twitching in his heart was a hundred times more compared to the twitching of the corners of his eyes.

He looked at Du Peng, then at Yang Lie and the others who were hidden in the crowd. At that moment, Mark’s heart was as dead as dust! Du Peng, who was once his defeated opponent, could now handle his attack simply with one hand with the undefeatable fourteen-star class martial strength in his body.

Although Mark couldn’t feel the star class strength of Yang Lie and others who were hidden in the crowd, he could feel that the martial aura of these people had upgraded to another realm.

Mark’s heart was filled with a powerless sense of failure. They used to be opponents who were evenly matched with me. Somehow it turned out that I became only able to look at their backs. Now, I don’t even have the strength to look at their backs.

Undoubtedly! I was clearly improving rapidly, but… Mark had to admit that the strength of Yang Lie and others improved at the speed of light.

Mark then looked at Ma Juntie who was behind Du Peng. The fighting style of this young man is strange. My seven-star class strength was definitely suppressing the opponent, but there was a feeling that the small world of this battle was controlled by the opponent. Perhaps this feeling was the reason that made me want to destroy him.

“Ma Jun Tie.” Qin Fen walked out from the crowd, “You surprised me, are you interested in being my disciple?”

“Your disciple? Oh? It’s you? The legend of the Sacred Martial Hall?” Ma Jun Tie stared at Qin Fen with surprise, “The martial techniques you taught me were very powerful, but…”

Ma Jun Tie scratched his head, “I already have an idol in my heart…”

A burst of hubbub started in the crowd, some doubted if it was a problem with their ears or whether they were all dreaming.

Recruiting disciples! The current legend of the Sacred Martial Hall, Qin Fen the record holder! The actual martial art master wanted to recruit disciples! Almost everyone looked at Ma Jun Tie enviously at the same time, the martial art master was recruiting disciples!

Ma Jun Tie was recruited as a disciple of a martial art master without even spending a penny, and furthermore, this person was Qin Fen! A legendary martial artist wanted to recruit a six-star class martial artist who had just entered the Sacred Martial Hall as his disciple!

Some people were suspecting if the ancestral grave of Ma Jun Tie was burning in a raging fire. This was not something that could be explained by the smoke of ancestral tombs [1].

Even the crowd wanted to rush forward and choke Ma Junt Tie to death! The super legend of the Sacred Martial Hall took the initiative to recruit him as his disciple and this kid wanted to refuse it without recognizing the good intentions of others! Who did he think he is?

Qin Fen laughed at this stubbornness which reminded him of himself that day. He did not surrender but chose to fight when faced with that fierce attack of Mark’s just now.

Qin Fen could feel that if Ma Jun Tie really got punched by that fist and if he was lucky, he would probably be hospitalized for three months. It was not really a bad thing to him, but if he was unlucky…

“I’ll tell you a secret.” Qin Fen whispered next to Ma Juntie’s ear, “You can go ask the current head of the Dragon Hall to see if Lieutenant Colonel Qin Fen is Thirty-Six Hours.”

“You…” Ma Jun Tie looked at Qin Fen in shock with his eyes wide open.

Qin Fen gently nodded and did not speak. It was the first time he had truly wanted to recruit a disciple since his debut.

“This is my contact method.” Qin Fen operated skillfully on Ma Juntie’s badge, “After verifying my identity, you can contact me if you are interested.”

Qin Fen turned around, patted Zeus’s shoulder, and whispered, “Brother Mark, you can fight my disciple casually, but don’t abolish him. I finally found someone who has similar experiences with me. Very few people nowadays are willing to work hard on training the Arhat Fist.”

Mark’s face turned red and white alternately. Qin Fen was just being humble by saying those words, but Mark did not dare to be ostentatious in front of Qin Fen. The aura and energy of a grandmaster could be found in Qin Fen, who was once stronger than Mark only in martial strength. The aura itself wasn’t something that ordinary martial artist could bear.

Recruiting disciples! Mark had once privately mock Qin Fen for overestimating himself when Qin Fen recruited Kyokushin Genichi as his disciple. Seeing the current Qin Fen recruiting disciplines again, Mark had to admit that Qin Fen truly had sufficient qualifications and the ability to recruit disciples now.

Ma Jun Tie was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that Qin Fen, Xue Tian and the others had already left the crowd. Their footsteps were so fast…

Ma Jun Tie took a deep breath and shouted, “Master! I know you won’t lie to me! Remember to come back and visit me when you have the time.”

The surrounding martial artists felt a little giddy. What he just shouted was just to boast shamelessly, as it was usually the disciple that visits the master. This disciple had such a lack of sense to directly request the master to come visit him.

“Alright!” Qin Fen responded, which made the surrounding martial artists completely speechless. Granted that this disciple wasn’t sensible, that master…! The legend of the Sacred Martial Hall didn’t even care about who should look for who.

Mark turned his head and looked at Ma Jun Tie, who wasn’t far in front. He suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart. He had a bad feeling as he made assumptions in is mind. This kid shouldn’t be able to suppress me and become a martial artist stronger than me in a short period of time right?

The thought flashed through Mark’s mind in a moment, and he flung his head hard and tried to throw the seemingly absurd thought out of his head.

More people around started to guess how long it would take for the new recruit, Ma Jun Tie, to surpass Mark’s strength.

On a building’s rooftop, the martial madman who was concentrating fully on seclusion silently watched Ma Jun Tie in the crowd while nodding gently.
