11 Illusory Martial Pagoda (2/2)

”Zhao Kai, who's he?” A skinny pretty boy leaned over and asked Zhao Kai with a cynical smile.

”Just a lucky kid!” Zhao Kai's face twitched. He answered while pretending not to care.

Yet, the pretty boy was obviously not so gullible. Seeing Zhao Kai getting exasperated, his eyes rolled as he judged Feng Lin thoughtfully.

He knew very well that Zhao Kai was arrogant and reckless. This new guy must be extraordinary to enrage Zhao Kai to this extent.

Feeling the sights on him, Feng Lin had no intentions to get closer at all. He waited for the opening of Illusory Martial Pagoda patiently.

Bearing burdensome stress, he had no time to spare for small talks.

Soon after, the Illusory Martial Pagoda opened.

They entered according to the sequence. Feng Lin then entered a spacious room that was completely empty.

Is this the Illusory Martial Pagoda? Hmm, I wonder how it would be. This illusory martial system was the product of Interstellar technology at its peak. It was Feng Lin's first time here, so he was extremely curious.

Suddenly, the lights turned off and it was pitch dark.

Beams of light converged from all corners like the meteors meeting in the sky and formed different illusions. A thirty-story high pagoda appeared before them all of a sudden.

This was an illusory space constructed by the energy.

”Energy collection completed. The Illusory Martial Pagoda opens now! Senior year student, Feng Lin, no records of entering the martial pagoda before, start from the first level!” A robotic voice was heard.

There were thirty levels of the Illusory Martial Pagoda. The higher the level, the more difficult it would be. It was like a hurdle to overcome if one wanted to reach a higher pagoda level.

Everyone's progress in the pagoda would be recorded by the Illusory Martial Pagoda's core memory. The next time one entered the pagoda, he would start again from where he had stopped previously until he reached the peak.

Since Feng Lin had never been here, he had to start from Level 1 this time.

That was exactly what he wanted.

Starting from the most bottom level, he would figure out the virtuality of the Illusory Martial Pagoda and break through them one by one.

The gate of Level 1 pagoda opened up in silence.

Feng Lin stepped into it. The scene changed like he just entered a whole new world.

It was a martial training field. In the middle of it, a sturdy and muscular man stood in the field, giving out a suffocating and capable aura. He was wearing an old-fashioned long, green robe.

Doubtlessly, this was an ancient man from the feudalism era.

When Feng Lin approached him, his eyes opened up all of a sudden, radiating an oppressing aura.

”Hong Fist's seventh inheritor, Hong Gang! Please enlighten me!” He put his hands together, preparing for battle. Feng Lin was slightly amazed, as this man really resembled someone alive and not just a computer simulation.

”Please!” Feng Lin clasped his hands too and treated him respectfully.

After the greeting, they started fighting instantly...

”Ha!”

Hong Gang exhaled and let out a yell. He made a step abruptly and moved like a storm, unleashing a punch.

The punch concealed a heaven-shaking prowess; its motion happened in just a flash.

Delicate like a lady and fast like a hare, this punch contained the essence of his martial arts.

Archstep Punch!

Horse Stance Butterfly Palm!

Reverse Elbow!

...

The Hong Fist was an ancient Huaxia fist technique. It was extremely violent and powerful. Once used, the user's fist would be flowing and striking continuously, making it unavoidable.

Hong Gang was obviously a skilled master of Hong Fist. His moves were stable and fierce like a tiger.

Feng Lin had next to no experience about fighting, in fact, this was the first time he had ever fought. No surprise, he was instantly suppressed at the first move and was immediately trapped in a difficult situation.

In the next three moves, he erupted forth with strength and jumped ten steps away, lengthening the distance before changing his stance.

Basic military fist!

As a student with an ordinary background, he naturally had no way to learn valuable genetic martial arts.

This basic military fist was an elementary body-strengthening martial art. The moves were simple and effective with great destructive power.

Feng Lin made a leap and fought with the opponent. He was actually enjoying the fighting process.

In terms of proficiency and ability to grab opportunities, Feng Lin was no match for Hong Gang. Yet, he found out something queer.

The opponent's speed and strength were a lot weaker than his.

Pausing to recall, he realized what was the reason behind it.

In fact, for every higher floor in the Illusory Martial Pagoda, the vitality stats of the combat master would increase by 0.1.

As the guardian of Level 1, Hong Gang only had 0.1 vitality which was the average of Ancient Earth Era's humans.

And there was this saying: Strength subdues everything!

Although Feng Lin was not as skillful as Hong Gang, he gradually suppressed his opponent due to his immense advantage of having a much higher vitality.

As time passed, he got more proficient with the basic military fist.

Although he had ever done some training before, they were not useful at all as they couldn't be compared to actual combat experiences. Now, it was an actual fight, he naturally gained martial experiences much faster than before.

After gene strengthening, his body was full of vitality. His strength, speed, and coordination…. they were all above ordinary person's limits. He was extremely fast in learning martial arts too.

Gradually, he discovered the essence of the basic military fist and started to get more proficient in it.

At this moment, he was no weaker than Hong Gang in terms of techniques. The dominance of his vitality made the fight boring.

Dragonsnake Strangle!

Feng Lin used the killer move of basic military fist abruptly. Jumping into the air, his legs were like a dragon wrapping around Hong Gang's body. With a violent twist, he caused Hong Gang's body that was formed from energy motes to dissipate completely.

The gate to Level 2 then opened up.

Genetic potential +10%!
