Chapter 154: Jackpot and the Phaseless Water Bird Art Versus the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Art

The drill instructor cracked a large smile and said, “Kid, you have decent luck. Congratulations, you drew the jackpot. There are many people who wish to be my opponent, but none have had the chance.”

Qin Fen handed over the number in his hand to the drill instructor. He spoke in an easy-going manner. “I am willing to give away such a great opportunity to someone else.”

The other recruits hastily all dashed away when they heard his words. Instantly, within the three-meter radius of Qin Fen’s body, not a single person could be found.

Qin Fen cracked a smile as well. “It looks like everyone is developing their style.”

The drill instructor sneered. “It looks like you have the gift of a silver tongue in whatever the occasion. Choose then! As my opponent, I will give you the chance to prove that you are not trash. You can choose whatever you want; I will accept all challenges.”

Practically everyone looked at Qin Fen with sympathetic gazes. Though this drill instructor had yet to reveal just how much strength he possessed, anyone could tell that he was absolutely not someone these recruits could match.

“We can compete in anything?” Qin Fen asked once more in confirmation.

“That’s right. Anything is okay with me.”

Qin Fen, having confirmed the answer, gathered to the drill instructor side. He whispered, “Then let us compete in who is more handsome.”

The drill instructor with his nasty smile was suddenly dumbfounded. He stared at the recruit in a daze, whose external appearance didn’t look like that of a crafty person at all. Qin Fen had actually raised a manner of competition that completely exceeded his imagination.

Qin Fen looked at the stupefied true instructor. Faint words came from his lips. “Drill Instructor, it looks like I win.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

The stupefied drill instructor suddenly let out a thunderous bout of laughter. He extended a hand and heavily patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. His actions were very intimate like that done between old friends. “Kid, you got me this time. However, the consequences of you getting away with things like this are very serious.”

“I know.” Qin Fen spoke, not in the least bit concerned, “We came to this place to go through none other than the strictest of training. It is my honor for you to not have a good impression of me, Sir. These are my thoughts on the matter. You won’t go easy on me when engaging in training with me when the time comes.”

A couple of wrinkles of admiration and curiosity appeared on the forehead of the drill instructor. The soldiers who normally came here for training each had ample drive and were hot-blooded men. Soldiers with such an extremely calm attitude yet seeped with a different hot-bloodedness from within their calmness were truly the rarest of the rare.

Quite a few recruits looked at Qin Fen feeling very baffled. Just what in the world did this recruit say to the drill instructor? He actually passed through his test so easily? Could it be that there was some powerful military influence backing him up? Did he use the people behind him to subjugate this drill instructor?

Qin Fen was the first to complete his test, and this was out of everyone’s expectations. He leisurely heaved his M134 Vulcan Cannon back beneath a large tree, and he quietly watched the contests between the others.

Losing meant that they would be divvied into the trash group. Not one person was willing to be the first to become trash in this training. Everyone was flushed red with excitement, struggling in competition with their opponents.

Qin Fen began to understand why Squad Leader Hao and the others had said that those training here all possessed skill.

In a competition between two people, each person certainly desired to compete in his own specialty. In this way, the drill instructor didn’t even need to go look up the files and data reports on the recruits to find out the strengths of each recruit.

Having a rate of half the people partitioned into the trash group was something more penalizing and cruel than what Squad Leader Hao did in his daily military training in penalizing the last straggling soldiers of the day.

Bang…

Among the crowd, a young recruit flew backward and slammed into a tree, his body curved in the shape of a bow. The impact caused several dozen leaves to fall as his body fell from the tree trunk to the ground as well. White foam puffed endlessly from his lips.

The person who had done this to the recruit was none other than the female soldier who had squeezed the viper into exploding. She had done a mere and simple sidekick, and she had sent her opponent flying and unconscious.

Though she had eliminated a four-star martial artist in an instant, the female soldier acted as if she had done something extraordinarily unremarkable. She was just as calm as she was in the first place. She then returned to the top of the tree she laid claim to. She looked down at the other recruits, most of whom whose eyes were wide and tongues were tied.

Qin Fen was just as shocked as he studied the female soldier. In her fight that lasted a mere instant, he actually was totally unable to detect the circulation and release of true energy of her body. It was as if her foot had swung out purely with the might of explosive power.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art? The Strength of Nine Oxes and Two Tigers Russian Mark? Qin Fen shook his head, unable to deny his own conjectures. These two arts shouldn’t have such a performance.

“Are you sure you want to compete with me in martial arts?”

Among the crowd, Du Zhanpeng looked at Du Peng, who had a face full of enmity, across from him. His facial expression carried an indescribable contempt.

“Yes.”

Du Peng’s voice sounded very deep and dark. He, who was normally incomparably calm, had a body that was trembling in this very moment. It was unknown whether he was trembling in excitement or fear.

Du Zhanpeng shrugged his shoulders in a very indifferent manner. He casually spread his hands open and said, “Your luck really isn’t that bad. Originally, you didn’t have the qualifications to challenge me. By hitching a ride on the drill instructor’s luck, I will give you a chance. This is good too! It really does feel uncomfortable to be stared at by a wild dog day in and day out. Today you will take my strikes, as I will teach you a lesson. I will let you understand just how great the difference between one with first-rate noble blood and one with mixed blood really is—”

Du Zhanpeng didn’t even finish talking when Du Peng’s body toward the begun to move. Du Peng’s speed was extremely quick, yet it didn’t carry that firm, fierce, and domineering aura like Qin Fen. His entire self was just like a dancing swan. The five fingers of his right hand clenched tightly together, and his fingertips cutting the air could be heard in the air.

Qin Fen’s leisurely expression turned grave in an instant. Though he had not seen the fighting technique that Du Peng unleashed, he had long since heard its name. He had heard it many times – the Phaseless Water Bird Art!

The Phaseless Water Bird Art was divided into three great systems of movement techniques, fighting techniques, and internal arts. Of them, it’s fighting technique was classified as a typical laceration type combat style. Drill Instructor Butcher thought highly of this merciless fighting technique, calling it the most gorgeous.

Butcher’s Heart Excising Hand was the ultimate move he created by imitating none other than the profound Phaseless Tiger Breaks Dragon of the Phaseless Water Bird Fist.

When faced with such a gorgeous attack, Du Zhanpeng didn’t dodge. His nostrils abruptly enlarged in size as he suddenly inhaled in a breath of air. The cavity of his chest inflated without end. His entire person seemed to have grown by two inches. He quickly struck out with a fist that rotated at high speeds. The air between his arms seems to have been hollowed out. He wasn’t scared at all at the tearing attack of his opponent.

It was the combat breathing technique of the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Art! Qin Fen’s eyes bulged wide once more. It was yet another martial art that one couldn’t obtain even by spending money.

Du Peng’s body stirred with power. He suddenly dodged, practically violating the rules of movement in that manner as he dodged several meters to the side. His two legs exploded with power once more the moment they touched the ground, and he threw himself at Du Zhanpeng’s left rib like lightning, his five fingers splitting apart in the form of an eagle’s claw.

Du Zhanpeng stood in his original spot motionless. At most he just suddenly looked to a corner with his eyes, and Du Peng’s dashing body was forced to move to the side. He promptly treaded a step, and his movement technique changed once more. He was suddenly opened and closed. He was suddenly moving left and then right. His body fiercely retreated several steps, shooting off like lightning in a different direction. His entire person was just like a white swan dancing gracefully on the surface of the water.

Du Zhanpeng stood in his original spot for quite some time. The corners of his lips gradually lifted into a faint smile. His two eyes suddenly radiated forth. He, who hadn’t moved at all during this time, suddenly made his move. Of his two legs, one stepped onto the ground, and his entire body loaded forth like a general riding a warhorse on the ancient battlefield. The friction between his body in the air caused a sound akin to the cry of a warhorse. His arm was akin to a large ax, and using the strength of a war blade, he simply cleaved through Du Peng’s aura and momentum, seeking to sever his soul.

Du Zhanpeng’s strike was equal to the Cleaving Strike of Seven Stars Calvalry of the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Art!

The broadsword of a warhorse rider! The ancient Saint of War Guan Yu was domineering on the battlefield. He relied on none other than his horse and his blade! Wherever the blade-light went, all that remained were the cries of departed souls.

It was a tyrannicalness that was utterly incomparable!

Du Zhanpeng’s Cleaving Strike of Seven Stars Calvalry takes from none other than the close-quarter fighting on the ancient battlefield. He, who came from a military family, carried an aura of the battlefield upon his body.

Du Peng looked as if he had long expected Du Zhanpeng to utilize this move. His ankle swiveled in a very bizarre manner, looking like a form of extreme Indian yoga. His body, with a strange twist of his ankle, forcefully allowed him to dodge to the side. The five fingers that he struck out with changed their target to Du Zhanpeng’s kidney!

This claw of Du Peng’s could turn even rock to ash, let alone a target that was of flesh and blood of the human body.

All of these changes went according to Du Peng’s calculations. For the sake of dealing with the Cleaving Strike of Seven Stars Calvalry, the strange swiveling motion of his ankle caused him to pay a price of incomparable effort and strength. Du Zhanpeng’s aura and momentum had reached its peak already. It was practically impossible for him to change his direction even if Du Zhanpeng wanted to. Du Zhanpeng could only choose to fall back!

As long as Du Zhanpeng retreated, his momentum and aura would gradually weaken to an unprecedented low. In that instant, Du Peng could leap up high to the sky and give chase and attack. Then he would unleash the most merciless and gorgeous Vermillion Bird Spreads its Wings of the Phaseless Water Bird Fist, simply tearing apart his opponent’s two legs.

“RAAAHHH!”

It was at the very moment that Du Peng could feel the dawn of victory when Du Zhanpeng suddenly made an explosive roar. Du Zhanpeng’s arm turned into a war blade, and his shoulders suddenly twisted in movement. He cleaved towards Du Peng’s skull in the same inconceivable angle.

All of a sudden, things became impossible for Du Peng to do any sort of dodge successfully. As his two legs quickly withdrew, his two arms forcefully blocked the Cleaving Strike of Seven Stars Calvalry.

Bang…

A very solid sound rang forth from their clash. Du Peng’s entire body lost complete balance. His two feet completely left the ground as he flew out.

Du Zhanpeng’s move had succeeded. He didn’t stay idle. His two feet stepped across the ground, as he started to move just like an ancient warhorse once again. The biting cold gale generated from his movement overtook the Du Peng that fell to the ground. He raised his large foot, which was like the foot of an ancient warhorse that trampled on a soldier on the battlefield. The foot heavily stomped towards Du Peng’s chest.

Quite a few young recruits didn’t have the hearts to look at the instant Du Peng’s chest would completely shatter. Each and every single one of them covered their eyes. They waited for several seconds, before finally discovering that the shattering of bone and the miserable shrieks that should have happened didn’t happen. Each and every one of opened their eyes in curiosity, and they discovered that Du Zhanpeng’s foot had stopped at a distance of half a foot from Du Peng’s chest.

Du Peng halfway on the ground. His face was covered in fury as he looked at Du Zhanpeng. He propped himself up from the ground with his two arms with great difficulty, letting out intense tremors without end. The Cleaving Strike of Seven Stars Calvalry just now had caused him quite the injury.

Du Zhanpeng looked down from above at Du Peng in a very arrogant manner. It was just like an ancient sovereign King looking at a commoner like an ant.

It was just that there was a wrinkle of displeasure faintly hidden on the forehead of this arrogant sovereign king. This was because he could feel a very dense threat coming from not too far away.

Du Peng hadn’t been seriously injured not because the sovereign king was lenient. Instead, the proud sovereign king could feel that if he were to truly stomp on Du Peng with his foot, six pitch-black gun barrels that pointed at him from not too far away would immediately let out the most splendid of metal roars.

Du Zhanpeng was very proud, but he was no fool. When faced with the M134 Vulcan Cannon, he was confident that he wouldn’t be able to block its power with his current strength.

Though he somewhat suspected that Qin Fen wouldn’t really fire, Du Zhanpeng didn’t dare to use his body to test if this were really true.
