Chapter 395 - Brave (1/2)

Under Building Number One twenty-two, ten first-year martial artists of the Sacred Martial Hall were lying or sitting on the ground. All of them were lacking the unparalleled momentum they had shown when they had first appeared. Everyone was like a frosted eggplant, listlessly staring at the Young Dragon King – Yang Lie.

They had entered the Sacred Martial Hall, this holy land of martial arts, one year ago, but much to everyone’s dismay, the outcome was like this. Despite the fact that the nine of them had ganged up, they lost to a freshman who had entered the Sacred Martial Hall for not even a day and had not even employed all his strength.

Huang Fengwan looked at Mourad and then turned his gaze at the Young Dragon King – Yang Lie. Where did these people come from? With such strength, they should be put under the spotlight on the first day of their debut, like the Young Netherworld King – Hades. They should have been very, very famous!

“What a kick, what a punch!”

Suddenly, an oriole-like voice broke the silence. Immediately, Mourad’s eyes turned sharp as he looked at the source of the voice on his right side.

“Silly boy, where are you looking?”

Fenghua Danyun slowly walked out of the building from the left side of Mourad with her arms crossed around her chest. A childish mischevious smile was hung on her beautiful face.

Young Dragon King – Yang Lie’s body fiercely jolted as his pupils shrank to the size of pinholes. Just now, this woman’s aura and voice clearly came from the right side, how did she appear on the left? An expert!

“What a formidable woman!” Xue Tian, who was standing by the window, shook his head as he was hit with a chill. “This woman’s smile is purer than mine, but if she got angry and made a move, I’m afraid she would be fiercer than me. I can sense that her aura is similar to mine. It’s better to stay away from this woman.”

Qin Fen sized up Fenghua Danyun carefully. Fenghua Danyun was very beautiful, and it wasn’t just limited to her pretty face. By no means was her figure was that ravishing, but still, it could be considered as shapely and voluptuous. Especially her legs, which were a bit long, but still, they didn’t appear jarring. They only drew immediate admiration.

Huang Fengwan was momentarily startled by the arrival of Fenghua Danyun. Much to his surprise, there was such a pretty woman in Sacred Martial Hall. I wonder if she is one of the three beauties of Sacred Martial Hall. Does she have… her insignia on the shoulder… That’s right! That golden silk insignia, that’s Asura!

Three heads and six arms. Although the fearsome embroidery was small, it still appeared alive and kicking. It was very rare embroidered insignia in the Sacred Martial Hall. At the same time, it also represented the well-known status and title of the wearer.

Asura, the head of the Department of Martial Arts!

Every head of six departments of Sacred Martial Hall was very powerful. And no one had ever doubted this fact in the Sacred Martial Hall, ever.

But who was the strongest among the six heads of departments? This topic had always been the topic of controversy. Among which, the Heavenly Thunder Art of Sakra Azia was highly regarded by many people.

The Sacred Martial Hall crowned the head of each of the eight departments with a legendary title. Sakra Azia could be said to be the leader of eight departments, and naturally, had been highly praised by many people.

However, nothing in the world could fully unify the thinking of mankind. Asura of Department of Martial Arts was strongly dubbed as the strongest among the six heads of the departments by the public.

Among the six departments, the Department of Martial Arts was the main department directly in-charge of training martial arts. Also, it was an important department for the research and development of martial arts. How could the head of such a department be any weaker?

Especially when there was a rumor that the newly appointed Asura had beaten the last Asura to the point where he was seriously injured.

Old Asura, who was able to sit on the same level as Sakra Azia, was seriously injured by the new Asura. She immediately garnered the attention of many people’s support.

Huang Fengwan might not know whether Sakra Azia or Asura was stronger, or who was the strongest martial artist among the six heads of departments was, but he knew a bit.

Even Shangguan Chuanqi of Mars would have even one in ten-thousandth of a chance against Asura, let alone Young Dragon King – Yang Lie!

Fenghua Danyun made her way through the injured, gently kicking on their asses. Immediately, the unconscious as well as the martial artists, who were sitting still on the ground, jolted before their bare bodies were covered with a layer of visible white frost.

All of them were hit with a chill. As they opened their mouths, they breathe out a gust of cold air that could even freeze boiling hot water. Yet they felt their bodies at inexplicable ease.

Nether Divine Art! Young Dragon King – Yang Lie’s internal force completely belonged to an extremely cold paleo martial art, which was different from neo martial art, Nitrogen Freezing Magic.

Neo martial art, Nitrogen Freezing Magic gathered the nitrogen in the air and released it with the nitrogen in one’s own body, freezing the target from outside. It could freeze the human body into ice in the blink of an eye, and change the ambient temperature.

Although the true energy of Nether Divine Art was extremely cold, it did not change the ambient temperature, nor did it freeze the target’s body. It would only enter the human body like leeches on the tarsal bone to completely freeze the human meridians, making it impossible for the other party to circulate his or her true energy. Even the blood would be frozen bit by bit, with the invasion of true energy.

The nine martial artists who had just fought were all frozen by the Nether True Energy. The purity and quality of true energy of Yang Lie, who had completed the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth with the help of Qin Fen, was far higher than these opponents. Even if he suppressed his true energy to the peak of the eight-star level, he could fight opponents at a higher level without falling behind all because his true energy was far higher than his opponents.

After a few bouts, when the pure nether true energy started invading his opponents’ bodies, they became unable to bring out their strength even more so. Thus, how could they not be defeated?

Young Dragon King – Yang Lie’s eyes flickered with a bit of vigilance and a bit of curiosity as well. This woman easily resolved the true energy invading their bodies with just kicks!? I’m afraid Qin Fen is also able to do it just like this. But why does it seem like she is even stronger than QIn Fen? The Sacred Martial Hall is really unfathomable! Just a run-of-the-mill young woman is as strong as Qin Fen!?

“Kid, your kicks and punches might be lacking in many places, but your true energy really surprised.” Fenghua Dangyun’s lackadaisical kick awoke Ouyang Yan. “Only a very few people can train their nether true energy to such an outstanding level at your age.”

Yang Lie’s eyelids twitched momentarily. This woman has pretty good insight. She knew what true energy I’m using by just kicking others once!? When Qin Fen sparred with me at first, he could only speculate two options, cold true energy and nether true energy. He didn’t possess as sharp of eyes as this woman.

Fenghua Danyun raised her head, looking at Qin Fen on the sixth floor. “Kid, if I don’t defeat you, that little kid above won’t come down to fight with me, am I right? So, why don’t we fight a bit?”

“No!”

Huang Fengwan’s scream immediately caught everyone’s attention.

A doubtful Yang Lie stared at Huang Fengwan, waiting for him to give a reason to stop the fight.

“She…She!” Huang Fengwan gritted his teeth and screamed, “She is Asura! The Head of Sacred Martial Hall’s Department of Martial Arts! The legendary Asura – Fenghua Danyun!”

“What!?”

“Really!?”

“Asura…”

Immediately, the scene turned chaotic. The rescued martial artists and the old martial artists of Building One twenty-two stared at Fenghua Danyun, astonished. Everyone’s tone was filled with inexplicable shock and fear.

To their surprise, the strongest expert of the Department of Martial Arts had actually made an appearance at the ‘welcome ceremony’ for the freshmen entry to the Sacred Martial Hall. This had never happened in the history of the Sacred Martial Hall.

The Head of Department of Martial Arts, Asura, had voluntarily asked the freshmen for pointers on the very first day they entered the Sacred Martial Hall. This kind of thing never happened.

Ouyang Yan turned his eyes at Young Dragon King – Yang Lie quickly, the shock in his eyes was quickly replaced with jealousy.

Ah!  The freshman had been asked to spar by the Head of Department of Martial Arts, Asura, on the very first day he entered Sacred Martial Hall. What does this mean? It was perfectly clear to everyone as long as one wasn’t stupid!

Even the freshman of Inner Sacred Martial Hall had never enjoyed such treatment. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, this happened to a basic martial artist of the Outer Sacred Martial Hall!

As the student of Sacred Martial Hall, everyone knew that the head of the Department of Martial Arts, Asura had a very bad yet good habit. She liked training young martial artists with potential.

Furthermore, the strength of those martial artists who had been trained by her would increase rapidly. But God knows why those martial artists, who had obviously benefited, were reluctant to accept any more special guidance from the Head of Department of Martial Arts. They would rather practice themselves rather than accept the guidance of the head of the Department of Martial Arts.

Rumor had it that even those martial arts fanatics, who were crazy about martial arts, couldn’t withstand the special training of this Head of Department of Martial Arts.

Gradually, a rumor had been created in the Sacred Martial Hall because of this. Being chosen by the Head of the Department of Martial Arts represented that the student had very good potential. And it also meant that his or her strength would improve by leaps and bounds. But at the same time, it also meant that his or her tragic moment was nigh.

There were still countless martial artists hoping to be chosen by Asura even if they knew clearly that it would be a tragic time in their lives. Slowly, this had become a kind of hidden glory.

Having attracted the attention of the Head of the Department of Martial Arts on the very first day of the Sacred Martial Hall, a jealous Ouyang Yan wanted to fire a rocket launcher at Young Dragon King – Yang Lie and blast him into pieces.

“Asura!? The Head of the Department of Martial Arts!?”

Curious, Yang Lie started the introduction function of the badge. Suddenly, a vague black figure jumped out of the badge before a melodious female voice started giving the introduction, “Department of Martial Arts is one of the six departments of Sacred Martial Hall. Asura, the strongest expert of the Department of Martial Arts, possesses the strength of eternal star-level, but it doesn’t rule out of the possibility of her hidden strength. She has been monikered with the title of Devil Trainer. All martial artists are warned to approach her cautiously, and must not be deceived by her naive appearance.”

Eternal star-level!? Strongest expert in the Department of Martial Arts!? Devil!?

Yang Lie sized up Fenghua Danyun again. Much to his shock, such a beautiful girl was the strongest expert in the Department of Martial Arts! Not to mention the fact that she was in eternal star-level at the very least. God knows how many levels is it above the meteor star-level! Even Qin Fen, who is the strongest expert in the meteor star-level, can’t win!

“That’s truly a nasty badge!” Fenghua Danyun pursed her lips and said, an unhappy look on her face, “In the next meeting, I will strongly recommend canceling the introduction function of the badge. My reputation has been ruined by this badge. Are you going to fight or not? I’m leaving if you don’t…”

“Wait!”

Yang Lie shouted to stop Fenghua Danyun from turning around; he didn’t know whether she really wanted to go or was just pretending, “I want to fight.”

“What!?”

“What did he say?”

“Has he gone crazy?”

“He wants to fight even after listening to the introduction?”

Admiration slowly started to replace the jealousy in Ouyang Yan’s eyes. After holding his breath for a long time, he opened his mouth and said, “What a brave guy!”

The crowd nodded again and again in acknowledgment. If someone who dared to step forward even after having come to know that the opponent was the Head of the Sacred Martial Hall’s Department of Martial Arts, the Devil Trainer, Fenghua Danyun wasn’t called brave, then what else would he be called?

Yang Lie’s pupils glittered with a bright gleam, like the brightest star in the night. He couldn’t conceal the excitement overflowing from his eyes. A spar with such a master was just a little bit less precious than the injuries Qin Fen had received from just one palm attack of White Tiger.

“Really!?” Fenghua Danyun turned around with a smile on her face, her eyes flickering with happiness like a child who was successful in deceiving an adult. “Originally, I was planning to attack you at night, but you save me the trouble. By the way, how strong are you in your group?”

Yang Lie furrowed his brow as he thought about it for half a second before replying heartily, “I should be ranked third…”

“Bulls**t!”

The young martial artists upstairs and downstairs shouted in unison. Immediately, Sky Splitter – Brooks jumped down, followed closely by Caesar and the others.

Apart from Xue Tian and Qin Fen, the rest of the young martial artists gathered around Yang Lie and began shouting.

“Why are you third?”
