Chapter 197: In Leaps and Bounds
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After having a quick breakfast, Qin Fen went to the military gravity room directly, under the gaze of the soldiers who were doing morning exercises.
Compared to the boot camp’s gravity room, each room here was extremely spacious, with a lot more gravity levels.
After some consideration, Qin Fen walked into a room with double gravity.
Unlike the boot camp, female service soldiers here did not show much surprise to the level of gravity room chosen by Qin Fen.
Shengjing, one of the central cities of economy, politics, and culture.
More than one-fifth of the talents in Zhongzhou were gathered here. In this historical city, many youngsters entered higher level gravity rooms.
In a spacious room, dozens of people were sitting cross-legged as they cultivate their Qi quietly.
Qin Fen chose a relatively empty place. He began slowly with the Commencing Posture of the Twenty-four Tai Chi, followed by Wild Horse’s Mane Parting, White Crane’s Wing Spreading…
Tai Chi practice under gravity environment enabled people to feel the forces bore and penetrated during attack better.
Female service soldiers at the counter were surprised when they saw Qin Fen practicing Tai Chi in gravity room through the screen.
Qin Fen was not the first person who practiced martial arts in the gravity room. In fact, almost everyone who went into the gravity room would practice their moves.
However, although the others not necessarily practice unique skills, they would practice some superior moves. Who would practice Twenty-four Simplified Tai Chi like him?
The female soldiers were seeing this for the first time.
Looking back on the record since this city was built, it was indeed the first time that someone was using Twenty-four Simplified Tai Chi in the gravity room of this camp.
Before finishing all the moves, Qin Fen already immersed himself in it completely – his mind was filled by the shadow of a master’s moves in his dream.
The female soldier who stared at the screen was stunned too. She had seen this Twenty-four Simplified Tai Chi before, it was not a profound thing. But why the way this recruit executed was so impressive?
Twenty-four Simplified Tai Chi was even more inferior than aerobic moves. How did this youngster manage to play it in such a beautiful way? There was a visible airflow circle flashing faintly around his arms and body!
Qin Fen was getting smoother in his practice. People inside the room could feel that the airflow had turned weird.
The first one who opened his eyes was a six-star Meteor Ace. He had the same surprise the female soldiers at the counter had at the moment he saw Qin Fen. Someone actually practiced Twenty-four Simplified Tai Chi here?
The surprise only lasted for a short while. The six-star Meteor Ace’s eyes reflected an escalated intensity of shock.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, this time, his surprise was not due to Qin Fen practicing Tai Chi but because the way Qin Fen executed it had portrayed a totally different feeling.
Unknowingly, he was attracted by Qin Fen’s moves. He stood up and walked towards him instinctively, stepping into Qin Fen’s aura.
Qin Fen was too concentrated in his practice that he did not sense someone had entered his aura.
Nevertheless, out of martial artist’s instinct, as soon as his aura interfered, he leaped towards the person and lashed his whip.
The lash without any distraction in the environment of double gravity caused his hands to have weak thunder roar.
The martial artist did not expect Qin Fen would attack him. The whip slashed towards him like the huge hand of Giant Spirit. He dared not look down the power of this strike. Filling his body with five-star Qi, he lowered his waist slightly. He took one step forward and attack Qin Fen’s lower rib – the Intimate Dragon move of the Big Eight Flying Dragon.
As the martial artist moved, the airflow around Qin Fen changed accordingly.
As his whip lashed down, Qin Fen’s body turned to White Crane’s Wing Spreading of the Twenty-four Simplified Tai Chi. His left palm brushed the martial artist’s fist while his right palm smashed the martial artist’s head.
At the moment when their palm and fist meet, the martial artist realized that although Qin Fen only brushed the back of his hand lightly, he felt as if his hand was beaten badly by shovel. The strength was out of his expectation that it broke his body balance immediately.
While he was losing balance, he had no time to think as Qin Fen’s right hand was approaching his face. If he was hit, the worst result was he would become a vegetative patient.
In such a life or death moment, he dared not to fight by using five-star strength which was the same level as Qin Fen. His six-star Meteor level strength burst out completely, his waist lowered again and his shoulders shrank. He used Dragon into Marsh to avoid Qin Fen’s move.
Without finishing his White Crane’s Wing Spreading move, Qin Fen changed to Brush Knee and Twist Steps to attack the martial artist’s head.
Till now, other people inside the room also felt the astral wind around, thus opened their eyes to see what happened.
The six-star martial artist was sullen. He just wanted to take a closer look at Qin Fen but ended up being engaged in a battle, not to say being beaten up by a kid.
Worse still, a lot of acquaintances saw this.
“Where does this kid come from?”
Frustrated, the six-star martial artist was furious. He no longer cared whether he would injure Qin Fen or not. Suddenly, his shoulders shook and he shouted, “Golden Dragon Soar!”
The rest of the people were shocked to hear this. It was the fiercest move in Big Eight Flying Dragon. The six-star martial artist was using it to attack Qin Fen with five-star level, would Qin Fen…?
Boom!
Qin Fen changed his palm into a fist and struck with the Golden Dragon fist. While his body trembled slightly, the six-star martial artist flew out of the battlefield with both legs off the ground. His body smashed on the solid wall heavily.
The female service soldier who sat in front of the screen dropped her coffee as she was dumbstruck.
All martial artists in the gravity room stared at the six-star martial artist who sat on the ground with eyes wide opened.
“How can it be?”
Someone who was dumbstruck unconsciously asked the doubt in everyone’s mind.
A six-star martial artist of the Meteor level was sent flying by a five-star Meteor level martial artist? Is it possible?
The six-star martial artist who was sitting on the ground also could not believe this. The strength of that fist was too strong, that was not a collision of their Qi, it was a harsh and barbaric strength from Qin Fen’s body that shoved him away.
In that split second, he felt that he was not battling with a human, but rather, was striking on the leg of an elephant. At the same time, the elephant also kicked his sturdy leg angrily.
The impact of tyrannical force caused the six-star martial artist’s arms and shoulder joints to misplace. The harsh force had produced the results that could only be done by Grasping Hand.
Qin Fen also restored his mind from the state of immersion under this fist.
He looked at the martial artist who was sitting on the ground, then looked at the broken stone brick under his feet, and immediately understood what had happened just now.
He recalled the move just now carefully. He banged the martial artist at the moment they punched each other. Immediately, the fierce and strong force inside his body turned into soft billows, which stopped the invading six-star Qi at his arms and neutralized it completely.
“Interesting.” A six-star martial artist stood up from the crowd, “Young man, let’s have some practice.”
Qin Fen was worried that he could not find people to practice with, so that he could understand what was meant by strong and what was meant by soft from the battle. Thus, of course, he would not let this opportunity go.
“Predecessor, please show some mercy to me.”
As Qin Fen spoke, he readied up with the posture of White Crane’s Wing Spreading.
The man did not restrain himself, he trod his feet and used dragon style steps to pounce. The air friction produced a sound similar to a dragon roar. As his legs grounded, he strode with Half-step Collapse.
Qin Fen’s eyes suddenly illuminated. Under double gravity, the opponent’s speed was not slower than when they were outside. Six-star strength was indeed amazing. Qin Fen responded with Moving Hammer.
It was impossible for the six-star martial artist to dodge against a five-star go. Moreover, there were many eyes watching them. He also wanted to test how strong Qin Fen was.
Both of them bumped into each other in a solid way.
Qin Fen’s body swayed again. This six-star martial artist was no different from the previous one. He felt that he had experienced an intimate contact with an elephant, and then he was shoved away by a harsh and barbaric force.
“My turn!”
This time was a six-star peak level martial artist. He clenched his fist, leaving a “pop” sound in the air. The veins in his open arms were visible, a fierceful Big Fling Steel smashed Qin Fen.
Qin Fen bumped into his fist with Cloudy Hand.
Both of their arms vibrated. The six-star peak martial artist could not stop himself from recoiling. He predicted that Qin Fen’s strength was strong but his power was still out of his prediction.
Even Qin Fen also did not expect that his strength had improved to this level. He looked at the others who would like to have a try and asked, “Can all of you come one-shot?”
The heat of group battle not long ago had not been settled down. Yet, Qin Fen targeted everyone in the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOther six-star martial artists who had also observed Qin Fen’s strength in doubt, pounced on him together without saying a word.
The female service soldier in front of the screen was watching the fiercest and most heroic battle since she joined the army.
The sound of muscle collision echoed non-stop in the gravity room. These martial artists did not intend to kill Qin Fen, hence, they did not cooperate with each other. Instead, they took turns to fight with him.
Shoved, come again!
Again, shoved away!
Dozens of people kept fighting with Qin Fen, causing the room to be filled with flying rubble.
The battle lasted for more than seventy minutes and ended when Qin Fen was drained.
Those seasoned soldiers who fought with Qin Fen were laughing as they looked at their red and swollen arms. The young man not only possessed amazing strength but also had an extraordinary hardness on his body.
“Not bad huh, young man!”
“Yea, are you hungry?”
“Want to have another round after lunch and rest for a while?”
The seasoned soldiers surrounded Qin Fen joyfully. They did not dislike him due to the battle just now. Instead, they felt happy with this young man who emerged suddenly.
Qin Fen could feel their friendliness clearly, he nodded his head, “Sure! I appreciate that my predecessors are open to giving me a chance.”
His modest words made the seasoned soldiers felt relieved..
“Young man, you are interesting. Where do you come from?”
“I’m still a recruit. I came here unexpectedly for a mission.”
“Oh, I see.”
The seasoned soldiers did not ask about his mission. They just accompanied Qin Fen to leave the gravity room. All of them were hungry after the fierce battle.
In the following three days, Qin Fen’s life became extremely simple. Apart from eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, he spent all his time practicing with the veterans in the gravity room.
The veterans also transformed from purely harsh fighting to real combat with Qin Fen.
Qin Fen was aware that his improvement in these three days was much greater than practicing hard on his own for three months. He not only grasped his fierce strength in greater depth but also developed his new unique skill gradually with the help and guidance of the seasoned soldiers.
“Young man, let’s go to eat.”
After another fierce battle, Qin Fen was dragged out of the gravity room by the seasoned soldiers.
“Excuse me, are you Qin Fen?”
Outside the door of the gravity room, a soldier with the rank of lieutenant stared at Qin Fen and asked.
