Chapter 513: Breakthrough toward Ground Aura Shield
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The grand ground aura shield fist auras exploded in the air and turned into a huge chrysanthemum shape. The chrysanthemum swelled and bloomed from the countless fist auras like prehistoric evil beasts, each flower petal blossomed with an amazing nineteen star-class ground aura shield.
The fist aura in Qin Fen’s pupil grew rapidly, and his mind was still in that moment where he looked back at Earth from space, as if he didn’t see this grand fist aura. The true energy in his body changed little by little. The feeling was very magical and it could not be described in words.
He quickly raised his arms, and his fingers linked both his palms tightly together. He held his arms high above his head and gathered his strength in his fists. It took the form of a mountain splitting ax and it made a heavy hit to the center point of the Chrysanthemum Fist aura.
Bang! Violent energy shot out in all directions and the chrysanthemum fist aura petals morphed into almost realistic throwing knives, striking Qin Fen’s lower abdomen, shoulders, legs, arms. The series of intensive concentrated attacks were like the rain, and it violently rained all over every part of Qin Fen’s body.
“Your enemy will not give you the opportunity to perceive things on the battlefield.” Vile King Zeng Yicheng said in a slightly stern voice, “Even if you were to observe such things, you should not take such a long time. Humanity, Ground, and Celestial: these three kinds of aura shield. Even a master-class would not be able to use his theory to give you an image that you can refer to. Each person’s martial dao is different, and each person’s way to form the ground aura shield is different. The more straightforward his martial dao, the easier it is for him to form his ground aura shield. Take for example Lord Turbulence’s martial dao of ferocity. He only pursues ferocity, thus, it is easier for him to attain his ground aura shield with ferocity. Whereas for vileness…”
“Tsk,” Zeng Yicheng shook his head again and again, “Vileness may seem simple, but it is actually very complicated. So, in theory, it is more difficult for me to attain the ground aura shield than Lord Turbulence. Apart from Zong Juelu, the level of difficulty for me to form the ground aura shield would be the closest to you, and that is why I have appeared. Your so-called Divine Boxing sounds very imposing, but the difficulty of forming the ground aura shield is much higher, furthermore, your internal art is the World Martial Arts Master Outline…”
Zeng Yicheng just shook his head and stopped talking. Qin Fen who was suspended in the sky looked at his body’s injuries quietly. It was caused by Zeng Yicheng’s attack with only one punch, not at full force. A nineteen-star class martial artist was already terrifying, but coupled with the ground aura shield, it became so lethal that it even made people lose their strength to fight back.
In the dark void, Zeng Yicheng’s figure gradually disappeared. The figure was then replaced by Lord Turbulence of the martial dao of ferocity. Lord Turbulence, who had the aura of a tyrant, was delighted when he saw Qin Fen. He took a step in mid-air and stood in front of Qin Fen. Without a single word, he raised his right arm.
Clank, clank, clank…
The true energy of the ground aura shield burst in waves in the right arm of Lord Turbulence. The already muscular right arm began to inflate like a balloon. It expanded and inflated infinitely; in the blink of an eye, it became twice as thick as the left arm. It was as if it was not an arm that was attached to the shoulder, but a giant thick steel column instead.
Lord Turbulence took another step, and a fierce aura emerged and spread out from his fist! Qin Fen saw a glimmer from the eyes of this super grandmaster who pursued the martial dao of ferocity. His arms were like two realistic mobile armors. The thick, muscular, iron column-like arms smashed down from above with a huge gust of wind!
Qin Fen’s contemplative eyes suddenly burst into a glimmer of remembrance, this descending punch turned out to be his own Investiture of the Gods! The fist aura of Lord Turbulence’s Investiture of the Gods lacked in the momentum of having all the might of the world in one fist, but it had a little more ferocity in it, as if a thousand million rhinos were stampeding down the grassland.
This Investiture of the Gods attack was unleashed based on Lord Turbulence’s eighteen-star class ground aura shield. After not having made any contact with Qin Fen for half a year, it was as if the momentum and strength that had been accumulated for half a year were all unleashed in this strike. It slightly resembled that first strike of Little Dragon King Yang Lie on Mount Everest.
As he faced the sudden Investiture of the Gods, Qin Fen’s nerves became excited. At this moment, he did not think about dodging. The muscles on his back flexed about rapidly, and the eighteen-star class humanity aura shield also perfused his right arm. The difference in their internal art made his arm glow once again like a light bulb. Investiture of the Gods, mixed in with the millions of years old soul of the Sahara. As he shouldered the unyielding tenacity of the iron-blooded military aura and was unable to back down, he let out a roar and went head-on against the opponent’s Investiture of the Gods that was full of ferocity.
Investiture of the Gods’ morphing techniques were no secret between the two parties. Any morphs became unnecessary at this time. Qin Fen wanted to try to perceive the ground aura shield once again and thus no one made any dodges and crashed into one another.
Under the impact of Investiture of the Gods, Lord Turbulence’s lips evoked a smile and Qin Fen’s body staggered. Then, through the force generated by the mutual tremor, the cracked humanity aura shield instantly recovered. He shrugged his shoulders, and without a break, the Investiture of the Gods was once again mixed in with a huge momentum and unleashed.
Lord Turbulence stood still and did not budge as though he was Optimus Prime, and swung his pillar-thick arms and unleashed another Investiture of the Gods.
Bang… Qin Fen’s true energy in his body had a feeling of being torn apart. Lord Turbulence’s martial dao of ferocity had reached an extreme, and his Divine Boxing was no longer in the perfect flawless form in front of him. The broken humanity aura shield once again instantly recovered, and he launched his third attack against Lord Turbulence!
During the third punch, Qin Fen’s body was in heavy shock, but he did not take a step back, and the shocked arm once again gathered the Investiture of the Gods.
Lord Turbulence’s eyebrows raised. He was surprised at Qin Fen’s humanity aura shield. Not including martial artists of ground aura shield level and above, were there any martial artists in the humanity aura shield level who could be his opponent? Even for an eighteen star-class ground aura shield against his humanity aura shield, it could only merely smash his aura shield, which he’d recovered immediately. This kid had progressed faster than he saw, and his control over his humanity aura shield had reached a true extremity. Moreover, the endurance of split-seconds recovery on aura shield was not a common feat for humanity aura shield level martial artists.
The fourth strike… the fifth strike… the sixth strike…
By the one hundred and thirty second strike, Qin Fen’s body finally flew out under the giant tremor, and the speed at which his humanity aura shield recovered had significantly slowed down than before. The one hundred and thirty third strike of Investiture of the Gods struck again.
The figure of Lord Turbulence turned into nothingness for a moment. What appeared in front of Qin Fen was a martial artist with a scrawny body and ordinary looks. His arms seemed to have no power. His arms opened wide, as it followed Qin Fen’s punch trajectory. The action was just like kneading dough, his hands were completely closed to the middle. It was akin to catkins that fell on a rampant big truck, it could not slow this truck down.Read more chapter on NovelFull
But it was a different feeling for Qin Fen. His Investiture of the Gods was like a net that trapped any opponent in it. But it was as if at this time, he encountered a much larger and stickier net.
Hui Yichan? Qin Fen’s instinctive attack suddenly recovered. The mighty power of Investiture of the Gods turned and the two arms were entangled in Hui Yichan’s Entanglement.
Qin Fen and the master had studied on how to deal with Hui Yichan. Either you were stronger than him, or could overpower him with brute force. Otherwise, it would not be easy to win against him, you can only calm down and prolong the fight against him.
Wrap, wind, twist, tear!
In a simple technique of Entanglement, the ultimate meaning of those four words were hidden. Qin Fen was more accustomed to getting entangled with Hui Yichan. It seemed as if there was no danger, as though a battle of children being entangled with each other. But there were unparalleled risks, one accident was enough to get caught by the other’s arm, and then the entanglement would cause the entire arm to be scrapped.
The master called it, the gentlest and calmest yet also the cruelest battle of life and death! Zeng Yicheng’s scornful evaluation was that this was a twisted battle of life and death.
No matter what kind of evaluation, in the end, it would still mean the same four words ‘life and death battle’.
Winding, winding, and winding again…
After ten minutes of intertwining, Qin Fen suddenly understood from Hui Yichan that the evaluation criteria for the ground aura shield was different from that of martial dao.
Whether it was Reborn of Blood Transfusion Real Inborn or Nirvana Marrow Transformation Great Inborn or condensing energy into aura shield, true aura shield enter body, or humanity true aura shield from converting energy into element, they had a standardized, consistent, uniform criteria. As long as martial arts were trained in this way, then your chances to understand and perceive it would be much higher, but the ground aura shield was completely different!
The ground aura shield was not just about the concentration of true energy, it was also about merging one’s own martial dao into his own humanity aura shield. The martial dao was no longer just a simple martial dao, and the aura shield was no longer just an aura shield, but rather a merging of martial dao and aura shield, that was the true martial dao!
Having trained one’s martial dao to the realm of ground aura shield, this was the true mark of having entered the realm of martial dao! Be it Zeng Yicheng’s or Lord Turbulence’s or Hui Yichan’s ground aura shield, everyone’s ground aura shield was different!
“I’ll allow you to witness what even Zeng Yicheng has never seen. I used it before to deal with Zong Juelu, the second technique of Entangling!” Hui Yichan’s voice was very faint, but it was like a bolt from the blue in Qin Fen’s ear.
Whether it was Zeng Yicheng, master, or any other black hole level martial artists, their evaluation of Hui Yichan was just one sentence: a one-trick pony, one trick that devises into countless one tricks.
Second skill? Qin Fen had never heard of it from other super grandmasters. Had this Entangling technique not reached its ultimate? How was there a second skill? Used to go against Zong Juelu? The one who cultivated the God-defying martial dao, who was supposed to be a heaven breaker level expert’s second skill?
“Lethal linger.”
Hui Yichan’s words were soft and gentle as if they wafted from the sky. All the fine hairs on his arms, palms, and wrists stood up straight! At this moment, there was a great change. The ground aura shield seemed to have come to life at this moment. His body turned and twisted as it headed forward. It did not look like Qin Fen’s arms were entangled with Hui Yichan, but rather, the body of Hui Yichan was wrapped around Qin Fen’s arms.
Level! Qin Fen had to admit that after Hui Yichan executed lethal linger, it was as if the whole space wanted to entangle with him, it was far more powerful than the previous Entanglement! The ground aura shield, in the state of lethal linger, were like a million poisonous snakes that entangled his body.
In the instant the fine hairs on Qin Fen’s body stood up, it felt like his hair became a hedgehog’s. If he continued to entangle with Hui Yichan, it would only take a few more seconds before he became a cocoon, and the lingering battle intent suddenly changed. The dreamy, chaotic, unparalleled Divine Boxing once again returned to the body, and Hui Yichan’s lips evoked a faint approving smile.
Lethal linger disappeared in a flash! Qin Fen suddenly had a feeling like an all-out punch of his had landed in thin air.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the front of Qin Fen’s eyes, and a fierce attack picked up from behind.
Extreme speed martial dao, Tian Lasen! Qin Fen’s Thunder step, Electric step, and Thunderbolt step were all inspired by the extreme speed martial dao of Tian Lasen; it was this martial dao that led to the creation of these three techniques.
