Chapter 442 - Battle of Fame (Part One) (2/2)

Listening to Qin Fen’s low mumbles with a sense of excitement, a surge of lofty feelings filled Kyokushin Genichi’s chest. It’s time! The day the Godly Fists vs Neo Taekwondo is finally here.

Qin Fen may have not pushed through to the sixteen-level before the duel, but he was extremely satisfied with everything he had.

Both may be fifteen-star martial artists, but Qin Fen’s realm of martial dao had advanced far ahead after having experienced the Sahara desert. Furthermore, having achieved level two fusion with his biochemical beast, Qin Fen’s true combat power would soar crazily once he energized the God-Demon Body. He was confident that he could kill a sixteen-star opponent in a short time as long as he or she didn’t energize his or her biochemical beast; and even if he could not kill him, he could still defeat his opponent.

Bae Seong-Joon, the martial god of State of Korea, the creator of Neo Taekwondo, does he have a biochemical beast? Qin Fen would not deceive himself to this extent that he would come to believe that the martial god of State of Korea, Bae Seong-Joon, who enjoyed a high reputation in the State of Korea, would not have a piece of combat equipment like a biochemical beast.

Having been a martial dao master and for so many years at that, Qin Fen was quite convinced that the martial god of State of Korea would choose every method possible to improve combat power when it was hard to move forward on the road of martial arts.

In this world, there was no better and faster way to quickly raise one’s combat power than using a biochemical beast. If one’s heart of martial arts was firm enough, why could he or she not use such a practical tool?

Qin Fen never thought that the use of biochemical beast would hinder his heart of martial arts. Blades, guns, swords, halberds were also combat tools. Since a martial artist could use swords and guns, why couldn’t he use a biochemical beast?

Bae Seong-Joon was a long-time famous martial dao master. Qin Fen firmly believed that the opposite party would not be unaware of the so-called persistence. Only, Qin Fen didn’t know the level of fusion Bae Seong-Joon had achieved with his biochemical beast.

Level two fusion!? Qin Fen shook his head as he denied this notion. As a martial god of State of Korea and with his level and duration of fame, how could he only be at level two fusion? Clearly, he should have finished level three fusion. It would not be surprising for him to be at the end phase of level three fusion.

Level four fusion!? Qin Fen suddenly discovered that the Federation had not opened the information of level four fusion to the public. So far, the official information only had information regarding level three fusion.

The level three fusion was also known as deep-level fusion. After one had finished the level two fusion, he or she could then move on to level three fusion. The official information clearly highlighted that level three fusion was extremely dangerous and the rate of success of ordinary martial artists achieving a level three fusion was only six percent.

In theory, if a hundred strong martial artists carried out deep-level fusion, only six people could pull through. If they failed, it would quite likely cause the entire human body to collapse due to the incompatibility between the biochemical beast and the human body and its subsequent recoil. It would not be surprising for one to end up a lump of flesh and blood, losing all semblance of a human being.

A deep-level fusion was not something anyone could do. The biochemical beasts had stringent physical requirements for the final fused image. The requirements were so stringent that it could daunt a large number of martial artists. It was also the reason why many people did not dare to try it even though a deep-level fusion could raise the physical characteristics of its user by twenty-seven times.

Although the biochemical beast did not raise the strength exactly by twenty-seven times, not all moves of martial artists depended on their star-class. The star-class was just an approximate ruler.

Predication, response, and various other physiological states were vital factors in a battle.

After Qin Fen entered the ranks of martial dao master, he had gained a clear understanding of the deep-level fusion, the level three fusion of biochemical beast. Attempting a level three fusion wasn’t dangerous for a martial artist who had undergone Blood Transfusion Rebirth. If a martial artist had completed Nirvana Marrow Transformation, there wasn’t any danger at all.

The so-called six percent rate of success referred to martial artists in or below the nine-star level.

Bae Seong-Joon was a martial dao master of his time. The deep-level fusion posed no difficulty for him at all. As for whether he relied on his high status in the State of Korea to access the information on level four fusion and attempted it, no one had any idea about it.

Every martial dao master liked to hide his or her ace in the hole. Therefore, a duel between martial dao master was rare.

That day, Jang Cheon-Hyeok was too arrogant; he had not even energized his biochemical beast. And when he found Qin Fen to be strong and fearsome, he could not find any opportunity to energize his biochemical beast; his defense had been pierced through directly by Qin Fen.

“Genichi, that’s it for today, you can take a rest now.” Qin Fen thought for a while. “You don’t need to go to the sea the next few days, follow me to Hallasan.”

Hallasan was located on Jeju Island of the State of Korea. It’s one of the three main mountains of the State of Korea. It is one thousand nine hundred and fifty meters above sea level and the highest mountain in South Korea. In-State of Korea, it is also called The Mountain that Can Take Down the Galaxy. There is a crater lake on Hallasan called Baengnokdam, meaning white deer lake. It’s a special environment formed by volcanic eruptions tens of thousands of years ago, surrounded by over three hundred small volcanoes formed by volcanic eruptions.

The venue for the duel with Bae Seong-Joon was the Baengnokdam on the mountain known as The Mountain that Can Take Down the Galaxy in the State of Korea.

With the passage of time, Baengnokdam no longer had clear water. Its dried-up area had been slightly modified into a place where Bae Seong-Joon normally meditated. It was also one of the sacred places in the hearts of Koreans.

…

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at approximately two thousand meters tall mountain, a smile spread across Qin Fen’s face. This mountain indeed looked exceptionally elevated under this kind of terrain. But unfortunately, having seen many cliffs and mountains in Qinghai, Hallasan did not bring any excitement to Qin Fen.

Currently, Hallasan was under martial law. Several policemen stationed at the foot of the mountain had a slight change in their expression as they sighted Qin Fen; their gazes were filled with a bit of resentment as they made way for him.

Citizens of other states may not be aware of Jang Cheon-Hyeok’s death but only a few Korean were unaware of this.

Jang Cheon-Hyeok was the idol of the State of Korea, after the martial god of the State of Korea, Bae Seong-Joon. Jang Cheon-Hyeok’s deed of developing Neo Taekwondo in Europe brought a sense of national pride to every citizen of the State of Korea.

Jang Cheon-Hyeok was dead. The Koreans didn’t care why he was killed by Qin Fen. The only point they paid attention to was that it was Qin Fen who killed their national treasure.

Many people didn’t know what Qin Fen looked like but the police responsible for guarding the mountain were aware of Qin Fen’s appearance. If they didn’t know that Bae Seong-Joon was going to fight Qin Fen, many policemen would be tempted to click their safety locks off and open fire on Qin Fen and shoot him to death even at the risk of their jobs.

Qin Fen looked about at the several policemen around him. He could keenly feel the air around the foot of mountain pervaded by resentment, as well as a faint sorrow.

This aura was emanating from the overt and secret police. Qin Fen could feel that it wasn’t their personal thoughts but rather an aura caused by a kind of national emotion. If he took a walk on the streets of State of Korea and shouted I am Jang Cheon-Hyeok’s killer, perhaps the air of the lively street would freeze, frozen by the intense resentment and sorrow.

Be that as it may, Qin Fen did not halt his footsteps; he slowly stepped on the first step of Hallasan.

Tap…

The impact sound from the contact between his sole and the step was very clear. At the same time, Qin Fen closed his eyes. Hallasan had been climbed by many Koreans; everyone climbed the highest mountain in the State of Korea with happiness, pride, and various other emotions.

After countless years, all these emotions seemed to have remained on Hallasan. They seemed to be the soul of Hallasan.

Qin Fen came to realize why Bai Seong-Joon chose to fight on Hallasan. It wasn’t some useless home court.

As far as Bae Seong-Joon was concerned, Hallasan was a superb home court! Theoretically, he could display one hundred and twenty percent of his strength here.

Qin Fen began to climb the mountain slowly. He always maintained an average speed and kept his eyes closed as he embarked on Hallasan.

Qin Fen took an entire six hours to climb Hallasan. For a martial dao master, this was absolutely a shocking time; even ordinary people would not need such a long time to climb Hallasan.

Baengnokdam was polished as flat as a mirror. There wasn’t even a single chair present, even a tone polished chair was absent.

The martial god of the State of Korea, Bae Seong-Joon, was standing at the center of Baengnokdam. He was wearing a white Neo Taekwondo attire and a black belt with golden lace on his waist.
