Chapter 346: Nuclear Fission! An Explosive Strike! The Four Kings under Qilin!

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Qin Fen and Chaotic Antarctic stood on each side of the huge ring.

Five million spectators held their breaths. The quiet scene had everyone looming quietly.

Chaotic Antarctic looked up at the countless eyes in the arena and his heart could not remain calm any longer.

Since both paleo martial arts and neo martial arts began to flourish and become the most important pillars of the Federation, there had never been a nine-star martial artist that could fight under so many people’s attention.

Being able to compete under the watchful eyes of five million people, a thrill of excitement in Chaotic Antarctic’s heart was ignited, but there was also a hint of disappointment. Unfortunately, it was not him that caused the frenzy of these five million people, but the egoistic ‘Thirty-Six Hours’, who was not far away from him.

Shanhe Sheji was thrown into the audience by the system temporarily to Chaotic Antarctic’s previous position. He had changed from the person being challenged to an audience.

“After the duelists are ready, please choose to start the battle.” The synthesized voice of a beautiful broadcaster was introduced softly into the ears of both parties.

In the sky, the system’s inquiry sounded slowly, “This is the Sky Martial Battle Network rules of battle, reminding the contestants to view the opponent’s information from the system, such as height, arm reach, martial arts used, battle records, etc. These are all information used by past battle network martial artists recorded by the system.”

Qin Fen didn’t open Chaotic Antarctic’s profile. When he chose his opponent not long ago, the profile of the first-ranked nine-star in the Sky Martial Battle Network battle ranking had become engraved in his mind.

Chaotic Antarctic, height one hundred sixty-eight cm, arms span of a hundred and ninety-seven cm, used neo martial art Nuclear Fusion Fist, battle record…

Nuclear Fusion Fist! One of the most famous martial arts in neo martial art. Not only did the fist contain terrifying explosive force, the radiation energy was also filled with amazing destructive power. It could kill a large number of cells in the opponent’s body instantly and reduce the physical sustainability and survivability of the opponent. A special neo martial art developed entirely for combat.

Special, expensive, difficult: these were terms synonymous with this set of neo martial art.

Neo martial arts were subjected to surgical assistance inevitably, and the surgical requirements for the nuclear fusion fist were even more complicated. There were also certain special requirements of the user’s body, and naturally, the surgeries were expensive. For a middle-class person, it would be extremely difficult to nurture a nuclear fist user even if they sacrificed everything they had.

If he didn’t see Shanhe Sheji’s profile, Qin Fen probably would have chosen Chaotic Antarctic as his opponent. Just with three words ‘Nuclear Fusion Fist’ alone, no one dared to look down on Chaotic Antarctic.

Chaotic Antarctic opened Qin Fen’s profile, and his eyes flashed a thread of caution.

A nine-star martial artist who was also the first ranked nine-star in the Sky Battle Network naturally wouldn’t be the same as the two or three-star martial artists who despised and looked down on opponents who used fitness exercise fists.

On the contrary, Chaotic Antarctic, who had experienced a hundred battles, became even more cautious. In the profile of a person with only Arhat Fist, Hong Quan, and Guardian Deity Fist, he could still maintain a hundred percent win rate. Such a person should never be looked down on.

“Ready, battle commencing! Once you confirmed your choice, you will enter the duel and the countdown will start immediately.”

The same synthetic virtual beauty that floated in the sky began to broadcast the final countdown, “Ten… Nine… Eight… Seven…”

“Fight!”

The battle had begun! Chaotic Antarctic stretched his arms, and the air within a radius of one meter began to wriggle and twist as if the entire space was about to collapse. It was the high temperature generated by nuclear fusion, and the distortion of the surrounding air was due to the heat.

The body of the nine-star nuclear fusion fist user was like a huge melting pot and it was as if it would tear everything that was thrown into it apart.

Qin Fen did not rush to attack in this first time dealing with a nuclear fusion fist user. The objective of coming to the battle network this time was not to defeat the opponent, but to seek the pressure required to break through the obstacle in surpassing nine-star. If he did not allow his opponent to be engaged fully, how could he feel the pressure then?

Tens of thousands of people inhaled a cold breath simultaneously and the sound was surprisingly majestic. Chaotic Antarctic roared once and his nuclear fusion fist output energy reached the limit he could bear! Although everything here was virtual, the virtual reality was incredibly realistic. The heatwave that wasn’t visible to the naked eye had already become a huge melting pot.

“Thirty-Six Hours!”

Chaotic Antarctic was like the legendary war god. At the same time, his ten fingers moved toward the palm: it had captured the hot air, creating successive explosion sounds!

“I hope you won’t let me down.” Chaotic Antarctic stretched his arms slowly, and he assumed the stance of Neo Muay Thai with his fists and legs, “Come on!”

Qin Fen nodded slightly. Nuclear fusion fist was indeed the neo martial art created specifically for battle. The high-heat airflow was a special field formed by nuclear radiation. No wonder this set of neo martial art was so expensive that you might not be able to afford it even if you sacrificed everything.

“Fight! Hurry up and fight!”

“Thirty-Six Hours! Aren’t you furious? Why are you standing still?”

“Are you afraid?”

“I told you so…”

Roar!

Qin Fen suddenly roared violently, interrupting the hustling and bustling of the audience and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art broke out in full force. The heart that usually pumped eight thousand five hundred kilograms of blood in one day suddenly had enough energy to pump several hundred kilograms of blood at this very moment!

Qin Fen’s skeleton was like a bunch of explosive firecrackers. His muscles were like balloons as they swelled, and the black and green veins were like a layer of black iron that covered his body and muscles completely. In the eyes of the audience, his height increased to two meters!

At a distance, Chaotic Antarctic also felt that he had become a dwarf in front of Qin Fen.

Chaotic Antarctic’s body trembled a little. Thirty-Six Hour’s body was not the only thing that grew larger. The aura that rose from his body seemed to have a faint majestic power.

God! What is this monster!? Five million viewers flashed a hint of surprise in their minds at the same time. No one had thought the nine-star martial artist’s body could be this tyrannical!

While the tens of thousands of people exclaimed, Qin Fen moved! Although he was the only person in moving, it suddenly felt like a thousand horses were galloping in that single movement. The slates within a radius of five meters from his feet all shattered, as if a small mine exploded, and the height of the explosion was more than one meter above the ground!

Hua la… 

Qin Fen’s body smashed the boulders that were in his way, resembling a powerful king from the Chu dynasty who rushed through an ambush from all sides. The explosive sound of the air rubbing against his body was like the impact of the four-footed Wu Tui Horse’s stomp on the battlefield. The stone had yet to fall to the ground, and Qin Fen had already rushed past a distance of forty meters!

Boom!

Another sound resembling a magical drum from the battlefield of the ancient gods that startled the skies once again traveled from afar. The soles of his feet created a loud banging noise. While sandwiched by the slates that were blown up within a radius of six meters by the previous intense power, his body once again dashed another forty meters before the slates were blown up to the sky.

Dong dong dong!

Three consecutive drum-sounding steps slammed onto the ground, shaking the hearts and minds of five million spectators, as well as the soul of Chaotic Antarctic.

Five steps! After five steps, before the first batch of slates had yet to return to the ground, Qin Fen had already rushed in front of Chaotic Antarctic.

Eighteen Dragons Gathering Clouds!

Eighteen strips of true energy entangled in the arm and exploded in Qin Fen’s single fist. The eighteen strips of true energy that spun around the exterior of the entire arm could be seen faintly, and the air that broke through the fist was like the roar of a huge dragon.

In just an instant, Chaotic Antarctic felt like an illusion appeared before his eyes! The opponent who rushed toward him from a distance was not a human, but a dragon! A dragon that turned over the river and even the seas while summoning the rain! The huge fist was a dragon mouth that was opened, a dragon mouth that could swallow the entire universe.

Retreat? I can’t retreat! If I retreat now, it won’t be as simple as a defeat, but it would be a shadow that could never be erased, which will then turn into an obstacle in the path of martial arts!

Chaotic Antarctic was rich in combat experience. With a long whistling sound, both his nuclear fusion fists came together and created surging waves of air that escaped through his fingertips. A fission compression of the nuclear fusion energy! The air in front of him became extremely unstable, as if it could explode at any time.

In Nuclear Fusion Fist, there was an absolute suicidal battle move that could kill the surrounding martial artists easily. The name of that move was called ‘Uranium Blast’!

Qin Fen could barely say that he had witnessed this move before. He had witnessed it once, during the evening he received the liquid metal ball, when a three-star Nuclear Fist user martial artist used the suicidal Uranium Blast to destroy everyone who was tracking him.

This move from Chaotic Antarctic was the basic stage of the Uranium Blast, Nuclear Fission! Although it would not really end with both sides’ deaths, the power of the explosion was enough to kill an ordinary ten-star martial artist!

Of course, any finishing move would have side effects. The side effect of Nuclear Fission was that after use, the body would enter an extremely fatigued state and it would be impossible to use the nuclear fusion fist again in the next ten days.

Chaotic Antarctic could no longer consider the upcoming battles between the other nine-star martial artists. If he didn’t use Nuclear Fission, he would not be able to see any future at all.

“A grain of rice dares to compete with the moon! [1]”

Qin Fen’s cold roar followed the dragon-shaped aura straight into the sky. The explosion of air from the Nuclear Fission was indeed tyrannical, but how many waves could it pick up compared to the mighty sea?

In the Sky Battle Network, Qin Fen’s strength could reach the peak of his ability easily without the companion of his four-thousand-catty heavy lead clothing.

A fist blasting downward, a dragon roar that startled the skies!

The boiling heatwave and the unstable air pressure of Nuclear Fission were like a balloon that was smashed in the moment of contact with Qin Fen’s fist. The hot air from the explosion splashed everywhere!

The eighteen dragons broke through the Nuclear Fission that could kill even the higher ten-star martial artists. Chaotic Antarctic heard the sound of his arms breaking, and the gravity of the earth under his feet had also abandoned him completely. The tyrannical force sent him flying off the ground. His shoulder bones and his sternum made crackling sounds like popcorn. With everyone witnessing, the bone of his back spine broke through his back and flew straight out!

In an instant! In just an instant, Chaotic Antarctic’s entire body burst out from the inside! His eyes blackened all of the sudden, and he was kicked out from the Sky Battle Network.

“Wa!”

A scream was heard in the quiet villa. Chaotic Antarctic sat up straight in his bed, the pajamas on his body were wet, as if it had fallen into the water, and his hair was also dripping with water droplets.

He gasped for air heavily and looked up at a picture on the wall opposite his bed. It was a portrait of one of the four heavenly kings, Vessavaṇa from the temple myths.

Every planet’s divine beast would have its own powerful underlings under them. White Tiger, Suzaku, and Qinglong had their own four-star warriors. Qilin also had four warriors. However, unlike the constellation warriors chosen like the other Divine Beasts, Qilin chose the Four Heavenly Kings as his warriors.

Chaotic Antarctic, Li Tianji was the second son of the Four Heavenly Kings, Vessavana. Since young, he followed his father, Lee Duowen to practice neo martial arts. Under the huge financial support and tender care, he finally entered the nine-star strength when he was nineteen years and five months old. Now at twenty years and six months, he was at the pinnacle of the nine-star peak. But even after a long time, he still could not attain the final breakthrough to enter the ten-star True Inborn realm.

He entered the nine-star when he was nineteen years and five months! It used to be the proudest day for Li Tianji, as his eldest brother had only entered the nine-star realm at the age of twenty.

With such achievement, he thought that he could inherit the title of Vessavaṇa successfully in the future.

However, he could not attain a breakthrough in a period of thirteen months. He was already left behind in comparison to his brother, Li Tianji who entered the nine-star at the age of twenty and entered the ten-star when he was twenty years and five months old.

“Who is that person?” Li Tianji stared at the portrait blankly, “I can defeat higher ten-star martial artists with my Nuclear Fission, how was it so vulnerable in front of him? Even in the face of my father, his strength was something that I admired but never feared. Why, why am I afraid of that fist? Thirty-Six Hours… you seem to be only one step away from entering the ten stars…”

The villa once again fell into silence. The huge arena of the special channel with five million people had also fallen into an unprecedented silence.

This kind of ending couldn’t have been predicted by anyone.

The first-ranked nine-star martial artist in the battle record list and the expensive killing martial arts Nuclear Fusion Fist user Chaotic Antarctic, could not even take one punch from Thirty-Six Hours.

With only a punch, Chaotic Antarctic not only lost, but died! If this was real life, Chaotic Antarctic would have already turned into a pile of blood and rotten meat under the fist of Thirty-Six Hours!

Three punches? Three punches was just Thirty-Six Hours being modest!

Qin Fen removed his true energy, and the reddish complexion on his face revealed a little paleness. This paleness was replaced by the rosiness that came up in an instant. The skin on the back of his hand also became a little black, but was restored to its normal color quickly.

The instant he became pale was unable to escape the sights of the powerful masters among the five million people.

Nuclear fusion punch! It was not at all an ordinary neo martial art. The power of radiation was extremely strong! Even though Thirty-Six Hours’ aura was extremely powerful, it still couldn’t block the radiation attack completely.

In that short moment that just happened, the radiation still managed to kill many of Thirty Six Hours’ cells, which explained the paleness. The violent high temperature of the nuclear fusion fist even burned the knuckles of Thirty-Six Hours.

However, the bodily functions of this Thirty-Six Hours were too strong. His body had created new cells in an instant and made up for the loss of dead cells. His arms also recovered at the same time.

For this situation to occur in real life, even if the burn on the back of Thirty-Six Hours’ hand required time to recover, his body cells would definitely recover in an instant.

Chaotic Antarctic was really unlucky! Many martial artists flashed the same thought in their minds.

The terrifying thing about nuclear fusion fist was the radiation that kills the cells of the human body and caused martial artists to lose their physical strength and combat power bit by bit under the loss of cells.

It could be said that in addition to the terrifying external attack power, nuclear fusion fist also hid a poison-like attack. And this hidden attack was most deadly!

Chaotic Antarctic was too unlucky! He met an opponent who did not allow the prolonging of the battle time at all. The fist of Thirty-Six Hours seemed to be a dragon that broke free from its seal, and crushed Chaotic Antarctic completely in an instant.

Chaotic Antarctic was too unlucky! Even if he could have prolonged the battle, he might still have been defeated in the end. The opponent this time, Thirty-Six Hours, had an extremely powerful body. His internal art was full of life force that could reproduce a large number of cells in an instant, and his defense power was too weird.

He could kill ten star-class martial artists with the Nuclear Fission. Even if he didn’t kill him, the radiation that was released in an instant should have also killed a lot of cells in Thirty-Six Hours, made his whole body pale, and lose his combat ability temporarily.

However, in the face of Thirty-Six Hours, the tyrannical nuclear fission was as gentle as a daughter-in-law who had just married, Qin Fen’s face only showed a hint of white.

The arena was still quiet. Qin Fen took a deep breath and stared at the previous Shanhe Sheji. He raised his hand and pointed to Wild Waves, who was at the other side, “All of you, can you come together now?”

A large number of viewers just remembered, Right! The reason why Thirty-Six Hours fought one-on-one with Chaotic Antarctica was to prove that he had the ability to fight against many single-handedly!

Several nine-star martial artists who had boasted previously became the focus of everyone. The special channel also gave them a close-up, zooming in on several of their facial expressions and put them on the display in the sky.

The face of the Wild Wave gradually grew a faint smile, “Thirty-Six Hours, although I have not fought against Chaotic Antarctic, I can indeed feel that I am a little stronger than him. To fight you one-on-one, there would no chance of winning for me. But being able to fight against the possibly strongest nine-star could perhaps stimulate me to get a breakthrough again.”

“Since the big brother Wild Wave has agreed to the group battle, then I, Xiong Kuohai have no reason to disagree.”

“Big Brother Wild Wave?” Wild Wave frowned: “Am I that old? I am only twenty-five years old this year. Based on appearance, you look older than me don’t you think?”

Martial artists were sometimes the same as women, the most taboo topic was age. In theory, if the martial artist had not reached a certain level at a certain age, it was a sign that the path of his future martial art’s study was becoming narrower.

Twenty-five year old nine-star martial artist. To a certain extent, having such ability at this age could also be considered a level of a young genius.

Unfortunately, one really can’t compare with another. Qin Fen was not yet nineteen years old and he had already reached the peak of nine stars and put many recognized geniuses in the world behind him.

The outbreak period of strength growth was a special period that even Qilin Song Wendong could not predict. The legendary Shang Guan Chuan Qi of Mars was one of the best in this regard, and some people say that the idiom ‘One Thousand Miles in a Day’ was made especially for him.

“Oh, then I have to call you young brother Wild Wave, this Xiong is twenty-seven years old this year!”

Xiong Kuohai was still unable to conceal the pride in his voice when he revealed his age. At the age of twenty-seven, he became one of the peaks among the nine stars. Even if he was not a genius, he was also a talented person on the road of martial arts.

“What a coincidence, big brother Wild Wave? I, Shang Xuanyue, am also twenty-five years old. I don’t know who is older by the month between you and me, I was born on December thirty-first.”

“Yeah? What a coincidence!” Wild Wave pouted and did not believe in Xuanyue’s bragging. His words, however, did not show the slightest weakness, “I am also December thirty-first, born at twenty-three hour fifty-nine minutes fifty-nine seconds.”

Five million people laughed at the same time. Both of them were obviously bragging in order to show their qualifications.

Sometimes, when two sides compared the time they took to enter the next star-class, it was also a special tactic to easily impact the opponent.

“Hehe, it seems that the only old man today is me.” Thunderstorm Warrior walked up the ring with a body of golden armor, “I am forty years old this year. I entered the nine-star realm five years ago. I hope everyone would not say that I am bullying the young ones.”

The lady who had just stepped into the ring, Feng Chen Tian Xia, looked at the Thunderstorm Warrior a few times. Age was a disadvantage in the future development of martial arts, but it was not necessarily a disadvantage in this ring.

Entering the nine-stars five years ago and having stayed in this star-class for five years could only mean one thing, which was that the experience he has in nine-star was very rich. He could probably be the most experienced one among these people who are about to fight!

“The age of women has always been confidential. But since everyone said it, then let me, little sister inform you.” Feng Jian Tian Xia said with a smile, “Today is coincidentally my twenty-sixth birthday.”

“Ha ha ha… I didn’t expect a bunch of uncles in the nine stars!” Shanhe Sheji stepped onto the platform, and said with brows filled with arrogance, “I am not even twenty-one years old! I entered the nine-star realm a year ago! At that time, I was not even twenty years old!”

The exclamation in the audience came one after another. He entered the nine-star realm at the age younger than twenty! Although he had been in the nine-star realm for a year, the future martial dao achievements for this young man could be very amazing. Perhaps he came from an influential background and history?

Qin Fen looked at the Shanhe Sheji and praised his own vision. Just from those battle records, he was able to pick such an opponent.

Qin Fen looked at Shanhe Sheji, all the martial artists in the ring, as well as the audience who were watching Qin Fen. The only person in this ring who had not reported his age was him.

“I say…” Shanhe Sheji raised one of his eyebrows, “Thirty-Six Hours, even with your bad looks, you can always tell us how old you are?”

“Me?” Qin Fen was proud and straightened his spine, “I am not nineteen years old yet. I entered the nine-star realm nearly three months ago…”

The audience was boiling! The exclamations came together as if they were a thunder that came from the sky.

What? Not even nineteen years old? This Thirty-Six Hours is only eighteen! He just entered his first year of the power outbreak period!
