Chapter 442 - Battle of Fame (Part One) (1/2)
The extension of bionic meridians did not stop. Qin Fen could feel that these meridians weren’t connected to human meridians; they were only using the human meridians as a pathway, nothing more, nothing less.
Much to Qin Fen’s surprise, the goal of these bionic meridians was each and every cell in the human body! The network of these bionic meridians was extremely complex. Sensing the endlessly extending network of meridians, Qin Fen was continuously surprised. Is this the fusion of biochemical beast?
Qin Fen had seen some of the fusion data of biochemical beasts once. According to the available data, level two fusion was one step further in terms of the fusion of human meridians and bionic meridians. But because the bionic meridians weren’t innate to the human body, the fusion of biochemical beast was a very dangerous process. It wasn’t just an unbearably painful process, one even had the risk of losing his life.
Qin Fen had no choice but to admire Lin Liqiang’s talent biochemical beasts. He did not feel even a shred of discomfort when the God-Demon Body fused with him. He had eliminated the risk of death completely. But what was even more surprising was the method of fusion.
The fusion of other biochemical beasts needed to fuse the bionic meridians with human meridians. But God-Demon Body was like a towering tree supported by countless roots. These roots seemed to be completely merged with the cells like soil, allowing it to provide nutrients to the cells and at the same time, absorb the energy from the cells.
Absorb and release.
In a flash, Qin Fen felt his God-Demon Body finishing the level two fusion easily, when others needed to prepare a suicide note before even attempting a level two fusion. The symbiosis of the current God-Demon Body had formed a preliminary supply and absorption loop with the body.
Qin Fen lightly gripped his fists as the true energy and strength of his entire body surged with a surging stream of energy.
So magical! Qin Fen could not help but admire the high-tech products of today’s era. Under the illumination of the sun, the God-Demon Body, which had spread all over his body, seemed to automatically absorb the energy from the sun and provide a special supplement to his cells.
Qin Fen was thinking of calling Lin Liqiang once more, but on second thought, he decided to not disturb him, as he was more than likely to be immersed in his research of insect warrior. Finally, he decided to fumble around by himself according to Lin Liqiang’s instructions.
“What exactly is this God-Demon Body?”
As Qin Fen controlled the God-Demon Body which had already finished level two fusion, the bionic meridian network that spanned all over the body quickly retracted, forming a special mass of energy at his waist.
It was still impossible to observe it in vitro even after the level two fusion of the biochemical beast. As strange as Qin Fen’s God-Demon Body was, it still could not violate the most basic principles.
Qin Fen lowered his head, looking at his waist. As the God-Demon Body shrank under his full control, he could vaguely see a ball of light similar to a body of energy.
This ball of light was very interesting. From the outside, it actually looked like the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fishes from the east; one could not find any semblance of God-Demon Body.
Watching the billowing black and white energy, Qin Fen clucked his tongue again and again. It seems that Lin Liqiang really let his imagination run wild when he created this thing. It has already reached level two fusion yet the biochemical beast had not yet hatched completely. I have completed a level two fusion in an incomplete state. I wonder if there will be any side effects when it hatches in the future?
Qin Fen was unable to answer his own questions. As he enjoyed the sea breeze blowing on his face, he laid out the bionic meridian network at a high speed once more.
Suddenly, a wave came crashing, drowning the place where Qin Fen just stood instantly. By the time the water receded, Qin Fen’s figure had long disappeared.
Kyokushin Genichi, who was coming out of the sea, rubbed his eyes hard. Clearly, Qin Fen was standing there calmly when the wave was about to crash down on him, when the wave was just a millimeter away from him.
Kyokushin Genichi was well aware of Qin Fen’s strength. When a martial dao master brought his entire strength into play, it was really as powerful and quick as a bolt of lightning.
Only… Kyokushin Genichi rubbed his eyes again as he made his way to Qin Fen’s side. “Master, how did you just do that? Even if you are a martial dao master, I am confident that I can see your movement, albeit barely. But just now, I actually felt you disappear into thin air.”
Qin Fen gently moved his toes, his face filled with joy. At the Sacred Martial, when he created the movement technique of Godly Fists, the Skydiving Monkey, he was lacking in foundation and strength. As such, he had no choice but to create a movement technique to fill in the gaps.
Today, with the unexpected activation of the biochemical beast on its own, coupled with the integration and sedimentation over these days, he had finally succeeded in creating most of the movement technique he wanted to create.
“It is called Thunder Steps.” Qin Fen thought for a moment. “Godly Fists’ movement technique is roughly divided into four levels. The first level is what I used before, Skydiving Monkey. And the next level is what I used just now, Thunder Steps. Naturally, it is supposed to be as fast as lightning. As for the third and fourth levels, I am still ruminating. They are called Electric Steps and Flash Steps.”
“Thunder Steps!?” Kyokushin Genichi shook his head and said disapprovingly. “It would be better to call it Electric Steps as I didn’t hear any thunderclap.”
Having just completed the second level movement technique of Godly Fists, the Thunder Steps, Qin Fen wanted to practice it a bit more. He immediately asked Kyokushin Genichi, “That’s wasn’t the complete Thunder Steps. Do you want to see the real Thunder Steps?”
Kyokushin Genichi nodded hard, again and again. If the incomplete Thunder Steps is like this, then how would the complete Thunder Steps be?
“I will let you see!”
Qin Fen’s Thunder Steps were only ten percent completed; the Godly Fists was a step closer to perfection. A heroic spirit rose in Qin Fen’s heart as the toes of his feet suddenly unleashed their full force! Kyokushin Genichi didn’t even see Qin Fen so much as bend his knees or body, but his figure suddenly disappeared from his line of sight.
The moment Qin Fen’s figure disappeared, Kyokushin Genichi heard a sudden explosive clap that made the air in the distance tremble, as if a bolt of lightning had exploded, followed by the flapping of clothes as the wind blew, swirled, and burst against them!
Kyokushin Genichi felt the sand under his feet spin at high speed despite the fact that there was no wind blowing, making grating noises of collisions. At the same time, another clap of thunder resounded thirty meters away!
The explosive sound had not yet died down but another explosion resounded sixty meters away from him. Before he could turn to look, another clap of thunder resounded from another position.
In the blink of an eye, Kyokushin Genichi discovered claps of thunders resounding around the beach, one after another; rolling non-stop, affecting each other and producing even more resonance. It was as if a huge cumulonimbus cloud had appeared, thundering everywhere before the advent of rain.
Thunder Steps! Kyokushin Genichi looked about the beach where he could not find even a shadow of Qin Fen. Finally, he understood why this set of moving technique was called Thunder Steps. It wasn’t an illusion, its speed was really that of a thunder; one which could only be heard but could not be seen.
Claps of thunder may be billowing on the beach but it did not raise much sand into the air. The sounds of waves crashing by the shore appeared to be overshadowed by the billowing thunder.
Kyokushin Genichi gulped again and again. His martial dao could be considered to be progressing fast over these days. He had seen hundreds of martial arts on the skybattle network, among which were even martial artists in or above ten-star level, but he had never seen such a powerful martial art like today.
As the thundering stopped, Kyokushin Genichi felt a shadow creeping before his eyes; Qin Fen was already standing before him calmly.
“This… this is Thunder Steps…”
Qin Fen nodded non-stop, extremely happy. The effect of Thunder Steps had surpassed his estimation. After using the God-Demon Body, he didn’t feel the exhaustion that users normally felt after using their biochemical beasts. Everything was extremely smooth and unrestrained. Aside from the fact that he had to expend much more strength than the usual, which made it inappropriate from long-term combat, there was no other discomfort at all.
“Thunder Steps… Thunder Steps…”
Kyokushin Genichi kept on mumbling the movement technique he just saw, his mind occupied with the approaching battle that had drawn the attention of many martial artists.
Qin Fen gazed at the turbulent sea. He had been digesting all the accumulated martial arts experience over these days; he didn’t have the time to take a dive into the sea and feel the soul of the sea, which was similar to the desert.
Kyokushin Genichi returned to his senses slowly. Learning from standing beside Qin Fen, he gazed into the deep and boundless sea. He heard Qin Fen mumbling in low voice, “Soon, it’s almost time.”
