Chapter 149: Yuanba Swings Hammer, Meteor Enters Clouds

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Qin Fen’s two hands gripped into tight fists. His body suddenly swayed, his two legs unmoving. His arm swung out and a firm and fierce manner. Nobody expected him to strike out with this — the Yuanba Swings Hammer move of Neo Military Boxing.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art propelled this hammer. The power and aura took this ancient, grand, and brave combat hammer technique and displayed it to the limits! This military boxing technique which always was known within the military as a fitness exercise of fist forms was raised to unprecedented explosive waves of energy.

Zha Can’s dash step brought forth this whip kick, having been charged with energy, to move through the air like a hot knife through butter. Qin Fen’s hammer completely exploded at this moment as well. It truly did possess some of the aura of the tyrannical, brave, and unparalleled Li Yuanba.

The might of the hammer exploded forth, and it collided together with Zha Can’s kick, which was like a pillar that had been waved.

The moment the two sides made contact, Zha Can’s body swayed. This whipping leg heavily stomped the ground as it landed. His breathing wasn’t the slightest bit staggered as he raised his arm. He struck out with his elbow and his knee, the movement like howling winds and torrential rain.

This move of his, Meteor Enters Clouds, had a total of 32 strikes. Every strike could split wood and shatter brick. The number of young martial artists who could complete this entire move in a single breath numbered few.

Back then, Zha Can had relied on none other than the thirty-two strikes of the Meteor Enters Clouds to seize the youth championship the Neo Muay Thai Power Struggle Tournament without a hitch. He simply struck his opponent on the stage, ultimately reaching the peak.

There was quite some distance between the ground and his elbows and knees. The fierce winds were able to lift up the dark brick dust that had formed from their fierce steps. The air rang over and over with the whipping sound of lashing.

Qin Fen’s Yuanba Swings Hammer was quite firm and fierce. Its scale exploded, the impact actually causing the faint sound of thunder. Its might surpassed that of Zha Can’s attack by a level. It faintly suppressed the tyrannical aura of Neo Muay Thai.

“No wonder you are known as the most powerful among recruits!” Zha Can continued with his explosive strikes but was unable to break Qin Fen’s defenses. Instead, while they clashed, his true energy began to not move as smoothly.

The instant his mind ate some fright, Qin Fen’s arm suddenly expanded and turned thick. It was like a hammer, and it completely smashed away Zha Can’s elbow strike, exposing a large gap before his chest.

Qin Fen suddenly treaded the ground with his two feet. He was just like a war elephant on the ancient battlefield. With a single clash, he simply seized the center plane. The muscles of his back spasmed at high speed, as if they were turning into a plate of iron. He heavily rammed into Zha Can’s chest. It was the Arhat Fist’s Twisting Single Mountain Thrust!

The sight before Zha Can’s eyes caused worry to appear in his heart. He was one of the rare peak characters among four-star martial artists. He hadn’t been the slightest bit scared when he encountered Okamoto Takeshi’s utilization of a level one fusion biochemical beast. He naturally knew what consequences this strike of Qin Fen’s would bring.

In this instant, he hastily spat out a breath. His underbelly was sucked in and practically stuck to the bones of his back. His entire spine curved as he reacted with a response as quick as electric sparks.

This was because Zha Can’s martial senses were unable to calculate clearly whether or not he could dodge Qin Fen’s attack. He could only make a big bet right now on whether he would live or die!

Bang!

Qin Fen was just like a Porsche Cayenne whose driver was driving at high speed under the influence of alcohol. He fiercely rammed into Zha Can’s chest and the energy and power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was truly a resemblance of a giant elephant’s. He forcefully broke open Zha Can’s defenses of true energy. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art penetrated his rocklike muscles, heavily breaching into his bones and his inner organs.

It was in the instant that Kyokushin Genichi and Du Peng had their eyebrows wrinkle at the same time. Zha Can’s chest rang forth with the sound of bones fracturing one after another. His entire body tumbled over and over in the air as he flew over a dozen meters away.

Victory… in a minute!

The corner of Kyokushin Genichi’s eyes twitched several times. That had been crisp! That had been agile! When this Qin Fen faced Zha Can, he should have used all his strength. Qin Fen was completely incapable of staying his hand at all, and this was the only way he was able to inflict heavy injuries on Zha Can.

“Qin Fen, Kyokushin Genichi of the Kyokushin Style of Neo Karate issues you a challenge!”

Kyokushin Genichi treaded a step forward decisively. He stared straight at Qin Fen, who was in the middle walking toward Zha Can. He was emotionally stirred. As long as he were to defeat this man, he would become known as the most powerful recruit!

The recruits were still immersed within the scene of Qin Fen’s series of intense moves just now. Could this old chair actually be a professional of fitness exercises of fist forms? The Arhat Fist. The Flood Fist. And now he used military boxing?

“I also want to swap pointers with Qin Fen for a moment.” Du Peng slowly inserted himself between Qin Fen and Kyokushin Genichi. “To fight and beat someone when they’re tired after fighting others. There is no glory in such a victory. Qin Fen has just fought, so we should also fight together for one round. The winner can fight with him.”

Kyokushin Genichi gave a smile. Qin Fen had defeated Zha Con in an unparalleled and grand manner. Right now his aura and momentum were situated at its peak. Kyokushin Genichi was a bit lacking indeed when it came to momentum in his challenge. If he could first defeat someone else, though some physical strength will be consumed, he would be able to push his momentum and aura to the same level of Qin Fen. This was a decent method to use as well.

Qin Fen walked over to Zha Can’s side. He nodded his head in great approval. “You are very powerful. You are the most powerful person I have ever seen among recruits. It was impossible for me to defeat you when holding back. I was forced to go all out.”

The entirety of Zha Can’s sternum was completely caved it. He who lay on the ground had a face that was not only an expression of pain, but also one of incomparable delight.

“It has been a long time since I’ve been defeated. The last time I lost was against Achilles. I originally planned to first defeat you, then go challenge Achilles, who thought nothing of the title of youth champion. Right now it looks like I still have a lot of things to work on.” Zha Con wasn’t dismayed at all. “Thank you. Thank you for giving me this lesson. Though you had gone all out, you have still let me off immediately. I was actually unable to force you to use your ultimate move. You are fully deserving of the title of number one recruit martial artist in this recruit camp of ours.”

Qin Fen was a bit surprised. Zha Can looked to be more powerful than he had imagined. To be able to see that Qin Fen hadn’t used his ultimate move, it looked like Zha Can foundation was extremely deep.

As sounds came from behind them, one that was like the sound of two human bodies, yet also not quite like two human bodies, clashing. The powerful streams of air blasted out, and Qin Fen didn’t even need to turn his head to know that Kyokushin Genichi and Du Peng had begun exchanging blows.

“Everyone shall stay their hands by this boss’s orders…”

Squad leader Hao’s voice rang forth. He had come between the two recruits himself, next came the two muffled sound of fists being slapped away. The two young recruits, who were fighting each other, had bodies that were more contorted than the curvature of shrimp. Each one of them faced a different direction as they flew away.

Bam. Bam…

The sound of two heavy objects could be heard hitting the ground. Du Peng slid a dozen meters before he sat up, his pants chafed with holes from the friction. It was unknown if the skin on his buttocks had been chafed as well. His two hands covered his lower abdomen. Squad leader Hao’s kick just now had been done at the true and genuine strength of the six-star meteor level. He was lucky to not have died from the kick.

Kyokushin Genichi was not as lucky as Du Peng. The impact when he landed on the ground had been far too great. His entire body flipped and rolled, and he rolled at least two dozen meters. He lay on the ground with a bloody nose and swollen face. Vomit came endlessly out from his mouth.

Qin Fen could only give a helpless smile and shake his head when he saw the scene. The difference in the situation between the two didn’t demonstrate that Du Peng was stronger than Kyokushin Genichi, but rather that Squad Leader Hao’s fiercely protective nature had been in effect. The kick that struck Du Peng wasn’t as strong as the kick that struck Kyokushin Genichi.

“It is so early in the morning, and you guys are already fighting? It looks like you guys are mentally awake enough.” Squad Leader Hao’s smile appeared once more in this moment, and all the recruits felt their bodies prickle with goosebumps. Every time this benevolent smile appeared on Squad Leader Hao’s face, it meant that their squad leader had evil intentions behind his smile. He was going to do some very benevolent things.

“Fighting? This is nothing!” Squad leader Hao waved his arm in a very uncaring manner. “Back when I was a recruit, I too fought with people quite a few times. However, you all need to comply with the fundamental rules of our military, at the very least. You cannot waste time for early morning training. As a model soldier who complies with the rules of the military, where should I place my face if I were to bring out this group of recruits who don’t comply with the rules?”

The recruits really did have the impulse and thought to rush up and beat up Squad Leader Hao. If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t beat Squad Leader Hao, quite a few people would probably choose to turn their thoughts into action. This Squad Leader Hao was none other than someone who was known for not complying with the military rules. One time, someone even held the standard military rulebook and went to find him, hoping to be able to get him to follow the standard military rules to engage in standard training.

In the end, Squad Leader Hao took the standard rulebook and said, “Just-in-time. Sometimes I can’t find toilet paper when I go to the bathroom. Though this paper is a bit hard, it still can be used. Kid, for the sake of thanking you for helping me out by providing me toilet paper during my crucial time of need, I’ve decided to repay you for a bit. Go to the training fields and run twenty laps. You are not allowed to use your internal energy! If I discovered that you used internal energy, this boss will toss you into the ocean to be fed to the sharks…”

Someone who could take the standard military rulebook and use it as toilet paper is in no way someone who complies by the military rules, right?

“You guys let my heart feel quite pained.” Squad leader Hao’s benevolent expression really did have the appearance of extreme pain contained within on this day.

However, the recruits all knew that the more pained squad leader Hao’s expression, the more their body would have to suffer through pain as well.

“How about this: aside from Qin Fen and Du Peng, these two people who had fought, based on the fact that the rest of you just stood around and watched them, training today will be doubled.”

“…” The recruits were all silent. Doubled? Did he want to tire them to death?

“What is wrong? Don’t you guys deeply understand your own mistakes? Do you feel that double the training is not enough as a self-punishment?” Squad leader Hao smile contained some threat within. “Since you guys are so proactive in this way, how about we make it threefold?”

“There is no need!”

After the recruits answered the same words in unison, they dispersed, their feet scuttling away. Each and every one of them gazed at Qin Fen with expressions of pity. It’s as if they were saying, Brother, it isn’t that we don’t have the code of brotherhood. When you get screwed, you must not hate us, okay? Who you should hate is none other than your squad leader.

Du Peng used his true energy to eliminate a portion of his pain with great difficulty. At this time, Kyokushin Genichi used his shaking two arms to prop himself up on the ground to sit up.

“Squad leader Hao, you struck out far too fiercely this time. Don’t you think so, sir? You can’t possibly be responsible for my soldier’s training, right?”

Qin Fen saw a seasoned soldier off in the distance. The man had a height of approximately a hundred sixty centimeters. From the way he walked, Qin Fen knew that this man was a martial artist who trained in Neo Karate. He should be a soldier of the State of Japan.

“This was just the mere exertion of lifting one’s hand in such a trifling matter. You don’t need to specifically rush over to express me your thanks.”

Squad leader Hao, a master of psychology, was a powerful expert on one on ones when it came to the battle of words. His skin was so thick to the point that even an artillery shell couldn’t even pierce it.

The soldier from the State of Japan who had walked over sneered. “So you are saying that next time if there is the chance, I can also help you teach your soldiers as well?”

Squad leader Hao shrugged his shoulders. “If my soldiers run over to the living quarters of the soldiers under you to challenge them, then you are welcome to make a move and give them a lesson. Just a pity that… hehe…”

Qin Fen possessed the title of the number one most powerful recruit in fighting. It was impossible that he would go to different places to challenge others.
