Chapter 419 - A Flashy Return! The Advance of the Dragon and Tiger! (2/2)

On the contrary, this exhausted state gave away a powerful aura, sending a message that any challengers would be crushed ruthlessly!

What were the odds now for the current Qin Fen to win a match against the Martial Madman? Everyone poked their heads out and had their eyes on Qin Fen.

Du Peng’s residence was not far from Qin Fen’s building number. The Sacred Martial Hall couldn’t possibly enroll that many martial artists within a short span of six months.

As the crowd closed onto the building, swift but calm footsteps echoed from the building.

More than a dozen young martial artists displayed hostile gazes.

Unlike other martial artists, these people entered the Sacred Martial Hall after Qin Fen’s special training. They had only heard of Qin Fen and his team from other people.

“Eh? No one has come to carry out the glorious tradition for a long time. Seems like there are people who have a death wish today.”

“Haha, you’ve arrived just in time! The building leader hasn’t displayed his wrath for a long time. Seems like these people are wanting to be beaten up.”

“Is it necessary to call the doctor first? When the building leader strikes, it is never a gentle strike.”

“I said, all of you, report your names!”

More than a dozen young martial artists talked non-stop with each other. The person in the forefront position had a slightly bloated body. In this place of martial dao training where most have fit bodies, that body was especially conspicuous.

Moreover, it was also him that requested Qin Fen to submit his name.

“Qin Fen.”

“Caesar.”

“Mourad.”

“Brooks.”

“Yang Lie.”

“…” Solomon retained his usual silence.

…

The previously clamoring young martial artists suddenly went quiet and eyed Qin Fen suspiciously.

In regards to the stormy generation that had appeared in the Sacred Martial Hall, the newcomer martial artists bore great doubts.

In their eyes, the title of the Sacred Martial Hall’s strongest newcomer martial artist was only eligible to be claimed by their building leader Du Peng and no one else.

Du Peng’s insolence was what everyone saw with their very own eyes.

Since entering the Sacred Martial Hall, only one stroke of Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder was required for each battle to reduce their opponent to a bloodied state, hospitalizing them for a period of time.

Rumor said that Du Peng did not want to kill, and therefore deliberately limited his force. Or else he could’ve easily split his opponent in half with only a hit.

“You are the past legends of the Sacred Martial Hall?”

Qin Fen couldn’t bring a smile to his face after hearing the question. The legends of these days were really not strong enough. With only half a year, Qin Fen and his team had become legends of the Sacred Martial Hall.

“What are you laughing at? Do you think it is still your era?”

“You’ve arrived at the perfect time! As long as the president defeats you, he will rightfully become the most powerful newcomer in the legend of the Sacred Martial Hall.”

Qin Fen nodded slowly without any rush. It seemed like Du Peng had not only improved his strength, but also his charisma along his star-rank. Every one of these young people capable of entering the Sacred Martial Hall were prideful individuals. It was really an amazing sight for them to admire Du Peng so much.

“Excuse me.”

In the corridor, Du Peng raised his long-lost deep voice.

Just as the young martial artists were creating a path, an intense, saber-like battle intent emitted through the crowd.

Yang Lie quickly looked at each other: “Who shall go first?”

Just as Yang Lie was in the middle of completing his sentence, the crowd had already created a passage. The ground of the corridor began to shake violently as a series of footsteps resembling a cavalry charge in an ancient battlefield engulfed Qin Fen’s team that was standing in front of the building.

From the darkness, Du Peng’s pupils shone with brightness, as his rising body resembled a cavalry general from the ancient battlefield. The air and his body produced sounds of friction similar to screaming warhorses as he lightly dragged a saber with his right hand, locking Yang Lie’s soul with his aura.

Du Peng’s sudden strike gave Qin Fen illusory visions. The figure of the deceased Du Zhanpeng seemingly integrated with Du Peng during the strike.

This blow didn’t feel like it came from Du Peng’s, but more like Du Zhanpeng had taken over his body and made the slash.

Warhorses and scimitars! Du Peng resembled the God of War, Guan Yu from the ancient past as terrified screams rose from wherever his right arm swung!

Du Peng finally understood the essence of the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cavalry, which was the essence of slaughter in the ancient battlefield!

Twelve-star! The new martial artists screamed at the top of their lungs. They had never witnessed the Du Peng today although they followed him for a long time. His strength today was much stronger than usual. His suffocating murderous aura showed that he would even be capable of annihilating a Jungle Ranger mobile armor, let alone mortals made of flesh and blood.

Yang Lie displayed a smile in his eyes with a straight posture. It wasn’t the first time he witnessed the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cavalry. He lifted his left foot seemingly upright, it was the movement technique from his defeat in the special training, the Dragon-Tiger Movement!

Although the step seemed upright and majestic, it was not a silly step. Yang Lie entered the attack range of Du Peng with only a step, as his shoulders sprung out for a punch the very moment it trembled!

Unexpectedly, this punch also resembled the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cavalry, as the striking arm was covered with the suffocating murderous intent from the blood and steel in the ancient battlefield. The air was compressed with freezing coldness, as the punch produced an air pressure visible to the naked eye!

Although it couldn’t channel true energy like Qin Fen, the Little Dragon King, Yang Lie had utilized his true energy specialty of absolute coldness, displaying the channeling of real energy from a punch without the channeling of true energy.

Thirteen-star rank! Du Peng’s eyes flashed with astonishment as the fists of both sides summoned the roars of swords clashing in ancient battlefields as they slammed into each other!

Boom!

The sturdy earth trembled continuously. As the ground cracked and vibrations were emitted from the ground, Du Peng’s blood-pumped right arm suddenly became pale. His palm clenched into a fist, causing the hairs on his shoulder to stand, all the while a thick white mist surrounding his arms.

The ice-cold true energy of the New Xuanming Divine Art was forced out by Du Peng in an instant. Yang Lie dashed in front of Du Peng using his Dragon-Tiger Movement and silently placed his left palm to Du Peng’s lower abdomen.

…

The scene was quiet. The young martial artists covered their ears with their hands, staring at the battle that started abruptly and ended in a moment.

Du Peng, the building leader with long-standing insolence was defeated in an instant to the previous legendary newcomer team.

“Du Peng, you’ve become stronger after not seeing you for a few days.” Yang Lie praised him while showing approval with his thumb, “You are really making some rapid progress right there.”

Qin Fen was also shocked by Du Peng’s strength. Twelve-star! Du Peng had reached the strength of twelve-star! Caesar and the others attained the strength of thirteen-stars and entering the apex of the eternal stars only after the special training.

Whether Du Peng’s talent was good or bad was not a secret for Qin Fen’s team. How did he improve so rapidly without the special training of the Asura?

This level of speed would be the level of speed for Caesar and the others if they didn’t go for the special training. There was only one plausible explanation for Du Peng attaining the speed of Caesar before his special training.

Du Peng had now fully accepted the legacy of his brother Du Zhanpeng. As two forces mutually integrated and oscillated with stimulating resonance, he was met with a surge in his strength — and more importantly — his agility was comparable to Caesar and the group before their special training.

In other words, Du Zhanpeng’s legacy had closed the remaining gap of talent between Du Peng and Caesar and the group.

Du Peng withdrew his attacking stance and smiled silently as he walked towards Qin Fen.

Without many words, the open arms led to a big solid hug.

The past inferiority stemming from the gap of power with these people had completely disappeared after the fight. Du Peng had already heard long ago that Caesar and the group had accepted a mysterious yet extremely effective special training to improve their strength.

The newcomer martial artists were all stunned. Why did the building leader fight fiercely with these people, only to hug them one by one after? It seems like they knew each other.

“You are quite powerful. Your talent is no worse than them.”

Fenghua Danyun slowly raised her interested voice. Qin Fen’s happy smile suddenly became stiff. Du Peng was puzzled. Why did his comrade, who never flinched in fierce battles, suddenly become overwhelmed with fear just by hearing such a beautiful voice?

Du Peng looked at other people and found that these people also showed unfortunate expressions.

“Since you know each other, then I will train you along the way.”

Fenghua Danyun walked with a lotus step. Du Peng realized that he didn’t even notice the other person’s figure before she appeared in front of him. Such power was indeed the most shocking to him since entering the Sacred Martial Hall.

Fenghua Danyun gently raised and placed her wrist on Du Peng’s shoulder. Looking back at Qin Fen, she smiled and said, “I will help your friend, how will you repay me?”

“This…” Qin Fen had out of words at the moment. This special training would be very helpful for Du Peng.

Helping a friend with the improvement of their star-power wasn’t usually possible. You may possess talent, but the Asura didn’t have the obligation to help your friends in special training.

Half a year of special training, Qin Fen knew that Asura would like to take a break for a while. Her appearance at this time was an expression of due respect to her former special training members.

“How about this: you will help me in three tasks in the future as an exchange for the training?”

Only three tasks in exchange for Du Peng’s special training! Qin Fen agreed immediately without thinking. To receive special training by Asura… even if you were to carry a mountain of gold to her, you wouldn’t receive her special training if she was unsatisfied.

Such special training could not be bought even with gold. Being able to allow his friends to receive the special training just by doing three tasks, how could Qin Fen resist such an offer?

“Remember it. You promised me.”

Fenghua Danyun’s smile gave a feeling of a child succeeding in their tricks. Without giving Du Peng a chance to resist, she placed her hand on Du Peng and disappeared with him in front of the crowd.

Caesar looked at the direction in which Du Peng disappeared and drew a cross on his chest and said, “May God bless you.”

Yang Lie looked at Qin Fen, “What are you going to do next?”

“Have a rest.” Qin Fen looked in the direction of the Inner Sacred Martial Hall, “Last time he looked for me, this time it was my turn to find him.”

“Qin Fen…”

Ferrero bore an awkward expression and appeared silently not too far away from the crowd.

“Master?” Qin Fen quickly stepped forward, visibly confused as to why there was an awkward expression on the head’s face, “Xue Tian seemed like he’s looking for you.”

“Xue Tian?” Ferrero’s awkwardness intensified on his face. He clenched his fist in front of his lips and coughed, “I need to talk to you about something.”
