Chapter 309: Treading Into Nine Stars, Here Comes Trouble

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The helicopter was not large, but when it descended slowly, many people felt that it was no longer a helicopter. Rather, it was a cosmic warship with countless canons, which could easily turn a mobile armor into cosmic dust that descended from the sky.

Only the Song family could give people such an overwhelming feeling.

Zhao Huzi was also quiet while he stared at the plane landing slowly.

The door slowly opened. An old butler, who had not been seen for many days, chuckled when he walked out of the cabin. His pace seemed to have a senile feeling to it and it felt like he had reached the late stage of life, the point where he could die at any time. Many recruits looked at this old man who dared to trespass into a military airport curiously.

Qin Fen bowed gratefully to the old butler. Without the old man’s three palms technique, his progress in the martial dao would be much slower.

On the old butler’s face was a smile, and the pleats and wrinkles which piled upon his face followed his faint smile and stacked on his face even more. His smile made the young martial artists feel chills in their hearts.

“Miss.” The old butler came to Qin Fen’s side and bowed slightly. The face full of smiles was filled with concern for the younger generation, “You could have let me find you easily.”

Song Jia hid behind Qin Fen and hugged his arm tightly, like she was a frightened little white rabbit. She lost her usual aura of a queen and with a pitiful look, said, “Are you here to ground me?”

“This… hehe… of course.” The old butler smiled and gazed at Qin Fen. He slowly nodded, “Young man, not bad! You were not killed by the blood ranking ninth, but you better pay attention. I heard that the blood ranking ninth placement is vacant and many people who want to get on the blood ranking are actively preparing to hunt you. According to the rules of the blood ranking, the killer that can kill you can temporarily enter the blood ranking. Of course, other people who are already on the blood ranking would want to kill you. Because…”

The old butler’s smiling eyes flashed a stern coldness, “The people of the blood ranking must maintain the glory and status of the blood ranking. If they let you go, who will pay the blood ranking people a high price in the future?”

“Oh?” Lin Liqiang smiled and jumped out from the crowd, “Old man, this doesn’t seem right. Is Grandpa Song allowing someone to undermine his authority? This is not in line with Grandpa Song’s personality.”

“Young man.” The old butler raised his hand and knocked on Lin Liqiang’s head, “Are you smart? The master has said before, you deserve to be killed.”

Lin Liqiang shrank his neck and crouched quickly. The whole person seemed to have become a monkey in the jungle which dodged quickly side to side.

Pa…

The old butler’s seemingly withering dry hand came out at the speed of a tortoise, but he could still accurately chop the head of Lin Liqiang who was as agile as a monkey.

The recruits were astonished altogether. How did he hit him?

Many people were simulating:  if that was them just now, they should be able to easily dodge it.

Lin Liqiang touched his forehead where he was hit and chuckled. All these years and he has never been able to dodge the old butler’s splendid hand. If his palm had exerted even just a slight force, it would have instantly broken his head off.

Qin Fen stared at the palm of the old butler’s hand and kept replaying that chop in his mind. He kept thinking with rapt attention.

After a few seconds of thinking, Qin Fen felt like a century had passed. This palm had a beneficial feeling but unlike the things he had learned before, which could be absorbed for his own use.

Arms are unable to compete against the thighs [1] at this moment. Song Jia didn’t want to make her grandfather angrier and create more irrational matters. She gradually released Qin Fen’s arms and walked to the old butler’s side as slow as a turtle while acting like a spoiled child, “Grandpa, you must protect me when we go back.”

The old butler smiled again. This time, his smile made the wrinkles on the face completely flat. It was like he became a young man in an instant. His kind face had a bit more affection for the young one. He reached out and patted Song Jia’s head, “You will break and toss my old bones apart one day.”

“I won’t.” Song Jia hugged the old butler’s arm with both hands, “Grandpa will always be healthy.”

The old butler looked at the young lady, the one he had taken care of since she was little, and shook his head, “No way, I am already old…”

Song Jia helped the old butler to get up the helicopter. When the two were very close to the helicopter cabin, the old butler stopped and turned to look at Qin Fen again. His face became serious, “Kid, you participated in recruit tournament, that is why the old master gave the military face and no challengers appeared. Now that the recruiting tournament is over, you will be busy.”

“Thank you, grandpa, for the reminder.”

Lin Liqiang watched Qin Fen bow as a junior. He didn’t call the butler his senior and his heart was secretly happy. Old Qin is also very smart. In one sentence, he narrowed the relationship between the two sides.

“Hehe.” The old butler smiled and loosened Song Jia’s aid. He came back to Qin Fen’s side, leaned in closely and whispered into Qin Fen’s ear, “Since you call me grandpa and little Jia Jia likes you, let me give you a little reminder. The one who spent a lot of money to hire the blood rank ninth and kill you is still alive. Currently living comfortably, the old master did not destroy the person who violated his regulations. You better pay more attention, that person will continue making their move.”

Qin Fen’s chin was raised subconsciously. He wanted to ask a little more about the person who hired the killer and found that the old butler’s body had already drifted back to the cabin door. Lin Liqiang waved his hand awkwardly and said goodbye. The Song family’s helicopter lifted off slowly.

Was it really the reputable leader of the Golden Triangle who had become impatient? Qin Fen felt an expanding pain on his temple. Most of the people living in the Golden Triangle eat people without spitting the bones. If it’s them, then it will be a difficult life in the future.

“Buddy!” Xue Tian took Qin Fen’s shoulder and walked to the plane, “Are you having a headache over the next challenger? Think about it, who asked you to get a girlfriend with a strong background and even had the president’s handicaps? Ai! Except for young masters of the same generation, Shang Guan Chuan Qi and Young Netherworld King, others are fine. The worst thing is that your opponent is not just them. There are people who are five or even ten years older than me can be your enemy. If only the martial artists were all younger than thirty years old…”

Xue Tian released another sigh, his face full of sympathy and sorrow, “In short, you may be busier after the recruit competition.”

Qin Fen’s mouth was filled with a bitter smile, sometimes he really didn’t understand. What did Song Jia see in him, like Lin Liqiang had said? Love was a special emotion that was completely irrational and cannot be analyzed by normal logic.

Being unable to understand this, Qin Fen no longer thought about things that were difficult to understand. He closed his eyes and recalled the old butler’s seemingly ordinary slap that could not be any less ordinary.

Path of the simple, path of the complexed.

Qin Fen remembered what the master once said, that the martial dao had countless branches. If one reached the end of the branch, one may become a top martial artist. The vile way of fighting was looked down upon by many people, but didn’t Vile King Zeng Yicheng practice until he reached the point where the gods and ghosts would have headaches upon the sight of his moves?

Soon, Qin Fen was immersed in his own spiritual world. These days when Qin Fen was fighting alone against a group, he had understood the way Little Dragon King Yang Lie, who also practiced Dragon Fist, had hidden the dragon a little. But it couldn’t really be integrated into his own fists.

If there was no real understanding of the martial arts then it cannot be integrated! A sentence from the master made Qin Fen once again simulate the battle mode of the Palm Hidden Dragon.

Palm Hidden Dragon, Palm Hidden Dragon…

Qin Fen silently recalled the private exchanges between the young martial artists of the top eight during the recruit tournament. It was not just an exchange of fists but also an exchange of conversation.

No matter what the level of science and technology society had developed, many martial artists still prefer the secretive way, using things such as the martial dao insights,

When he recalled of the young outstanding figures’ reactions when they were called that day, such as Little Dragon King Yang Lie, Qin Fen couldn’t contain longer his laughter.

“What? Exchange?”

“This… our martial arts are somewhat different, I am afraid…”

“Our war dance in Africa, if there was no African temperament…”

The initial reactions of the young martial artists, as Lin Liqiang said, were secrets.

“This is? Dragon Guard, were you using it like this? Hehe… a little different from mine…”

Yang Lie was surprised to hear that Qin Fen took the initiative to explain his reaction to the Dragon Guard for the first time.

“My understanding of the Dragon Guard is this…”

From the initial brief discussion of common martial arts to revealing their respective martial arts experience little by little, the recruit martial artists of all continents found that Qin Fen did not have any reservations when he explained his views.

In the face of such spirit, if they continue keeping their own experiences to themselves, not only would people look down on upon them, but they would also look down upon themselves. The young people’s thoughts were more open and soon, a small circle of communication was formed.

On the military plane flying to America, Yang Lie couldn’t sit still. His hands kept drawing a circle in front of him. It was the most basic form of Tai Chi fist, but it had some understanding from Qin Fen.

One circle, one circle, one circle…

Yang Lie understood the insight of Qin Fen’s explanation seriously. The surrounding American recruits looked at Yang Lie, confused, and at the same time also looked at Sky Splitter Brooks, the eight-star martial artist that was also drawing the same circle.

The same thing happened in the plane of the European and African Military Region of Africa, only West Asia was silent.

Reject exchanges!

Mourad Tschick’s attitude was resolute and Qin Fen had shut down twice. Who would have the heart to exchange their martial dao insights and experience with their enemy?

Palm Hidden Dragon, Palm Hidden Dragon…

Qin Fen’s palm was like a fish that wandered in the water and swayed gently. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art ran quietly in the body as usual.

Xue Tian looked at Qin Fen as if he was a monster. Someone could practice on the plane and still have their star-class strength promoted?

Nine stars! Qin Fen’s eyes suddenly opened, and two paths, sharp like a sword, shot out. The true energy in the body flowed suddenly like a river. The sound of the heartbeats at this moment couldn’t be suppressed by even the propellers. Several recruits that sat beside him could hear the drum-like heartbeats.

“Breakthrough?” Qin Fen himself was also shocked, he did not expect the accumulation of the all-on-one battle, plus the recent exchange, to complement each other and allow him to break through so easily at this instant.

Nine stars!

His strength suddenly increased, and Qin Fen was also happy. He had not participated in the recruit tournament in vain; not only did he accidentally understand the true energy oscillation, but he also improved his star-class between the exchanges. If there was no such exchange, it seemed that more time would’ve been required for the breakthrough as a replacement.

Earth’s Number One young martial artist? Qin Fen was really convinced at this moment that he had truly stood at the peak of Earth’s young martial artists. He just didn’t know how strong Shang Liang Chuan Qi, Young Netherworld King, and the other young martial artists from the other planets were.

Qin Fen touched his chin while he thought. All of them were at the peak of their own planet. The gap between each of them shouldn’t be that great, right?

With a little contemplation, Qin Fen once again closed his eyes and enter his own spiritual world and experienced the feeling of just entering the nine-star strength.

After the breakthrough, there were still many things to do and the experience at this time could often get twice the result with half the effort.

Xue Tian shook his head and sighed constantly, “God, you really like this martial dao.”

After a long flight, the plane finally landed slowly at a military airport in Shenyang.

After the successive recruit tournament, the continental regions had a habit, and that was that the recruits who participated in the competition were welcomed to a place to reward them.

This time, East Asia recruits were on wipeout spree and defeated the recruits combined from several other continents into a pulp.

Although it was only the confrontation between recruits and not the confrontation of the real apex-level comprehensive military strength, the military still felt very bright as they finally achieved impressive results in the lowly anticipated recruit tournament.

Win? Being the champion? That was nothing to be proud of. What really makes the military squad feel like they have face was sweeping the other continents recruit completely and beating them until they pee their pants.

Therefore, the scale of reception for these recruits was also much higher than before, where they received the award directly at Shenyang.

The helicopter stopped steadily and the door slowly opened. Qin Fen was surprised to see a young man outside the hatch. With clear battle intent, he rushed into the cabin at the moment the hatch opened.

“Who is Qin Fen?”

The arrogant voice was filled with provocation.

Through the hatch, Qin Fen looked at the young person outside.

A warrior suit, but not a military uniform from the military. A sharp aura eluded from his brows, but it was not a unique aura from a soldier.

Not a soldier!

In an instant, Qin Fen has already determined the general identity of the other party.

The young recruits in the cabin, followed by the arrogant sound of the other party, subconsciously placed their sights on Qin Fen.

“You are Qin Fen?” The young man had a narrow waist, strong arms, and wide shoulders. He looked like he was younger than twenty. He has thick scorpions on his fists that told others that he was a paleo martial artist that walked on the sand palm martial arts channel. “I am Li Hongtao! I am here to challenge you! Song Jia does not belong to the likes of you.”

A challenger? Qin Fen shook his head. He didn’t expect the news to be spread so quickly. It was faster than the military plane. Looking at the skin condition of this person, he must have been waiting at the airport for a while.

“So how? You don’t dare to fight? If you are afraid…”

Qin Fen picked up a few pieces of luggage that he carried with him. He jumped out of the cabin and looked at the opponent.  A six-star martial artist wanted to come and be arrogant?

Six-star, although not the top of the younger generation, could usually qualify to be called the pride of the sky in ordinary small circles.

Qin Fen felt that his smile had some powerlessness. He didn’t know if it was the charm of Song Jia or if the title of Earth Martial God Song Wendong’s grandson-in-law was too attractive. This plane had just landed and someone had already come and challenged him.

East Asia’s recruits snuck out and formed a circle, creating a special competition ground for the two.

Li Hongtao looked around triumphantly, “Everyone, you all are my witnesses before someone loses to me and refuses to admit it.”

The recruits who participated in the recruit tournament suddenly burst into laughter, and the taste of ridicule could be heard by anyone as long as they were not a fool.

“What’s so funny?” Li Hongtao roared, his black and white scorpions suddenly becoming bloody red, and his body’s aura power rose, but it did not enhance his actual star-class. The mirror smooth-like concrete floor under the feet cracked from the pressure.

Biochemical beast!

The recruits were surprised, this recruit actually had an expensive biochemical beast! No wonder he was so bold to come challenge him.

Level two fusion? Qin Fen smiled, no wonder he was so confident to come and challenge. It turns out he has a biochemical beast that has reached the level two fusion.

Biochemical beast: a special “weapon” that could assist martial artists in challenges. The higher the fusion level of the martial artist, the more the star-class gap can be challenged.

“Qin Fen.” Li Hongtao exhibited the tiger-shaped stance and with his low voice, he spoke slowly, “If you are still a man, take your stance!”

Zhao Huzi jumped out of the cockpit of the plane and shouted, “Qin Fen, hurry up! Are you going to let everyone wait for you?”

“Yes general!” Qin Fen gave a military salute and turned to look at Li Hongtao, “Are you ready?”

Li Hongtao was shocked, Am I ready?! You are the one that didn’t start your stance.

“It seems that you are ready.” Qin Fen seemed to be talking to himself, “Then I won’t hold back…”

I won’t hold back. When the four words flowed into Li Hongtao’s ears, he saw a bursting leap from Qin Fen, as if Qin Fen teleported in front of Li Hongtao, a huge foot was clearly in his line of sight and it was firmly pressed on his chest.

In the next moment, Li Hongtao found that his feet had left the ground and the surrounding scenes were changing and moving rapidly in the opposite direction. The pain was like a spider web that had spread throughout every corner of his body.

At a distance of twenty meters away, Li Hongtao was lying on the ground and staring at Qin Fen from the distance. There was no battle foreboding at that moment and he did not even capture the other’s battle intent and the battle was done? And the biochemical beast in his body was actually smashed with just one foot?

“Commanding officer, the task is completed.”

Qin Fen took the baggage that had not left his hand and walked quickly to Zhao Huzi, as if he had just kicked a can in front of him and not sent a living six-star martial artist who had used biochemical beast flying.
