After several slaps, what came out of Liang Tao was not only blood but thirty-two of his teeth as well.
Liang Tao’s face, which wasn’t that handsome to begin with, was now red and swollen. His mouth was constantly spitting out words, but because of his heavy injury, no one could understand what threats he was making. The only sound that could be heard was blood being spat everywhere.
Near the end of the slaps, Qin Fen turned both of his hands, and his fingers firmly gripped the Dragon’s Claw.
When the power in his fingers exploded, both of Liang Tao’s shoulder bones were immediately crushed. The Dragon’s Claw smoothly slid down from the shoulder joints to the wrists, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
Qin Fen didn’t know how to use the martial art Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder, which could break every bone in the opponent’s body with just a few hits, thus he could only painstakingly break them one by one.
All the new recruits were so surprised that they were rendered speechless. The people associated with Liang Tao weren’t people you could make fun of. Beating him a few times should have been enough, but now you want to cripple both of his arms and legs? You don’t want to live anymore?
Qin Fen didn’t bother with the gazes of the people around him. Both of his hands flew across Liang Tao’s body. Anywhere he touched the bone-breaking sound could be heard.
After a short period of ten seconds, Liang Tao fell limply to the ground, and even the bones above his chin were broken by Qin Fen.
Old Hao, is this what you taught?
In the distance outside the circle of the new recruits, the face of a middle-aged man wearing a squad leader uniform was somewhat gloomy. As Liang Tao’s squad leader, he should have stopped Qin Fen. However, Liang Tao usually hid behind his family’s prestige and looked down upon everyone in the recruits compound, even the squad leader himself.
Regarding this matter, he might as well give some face to Squad Leader Hao.
What I taught?
Squad Leader Hao’s face lit up, feeling that it was so refreshing to win this way.
What you taught?
Squad Leader Na sneered,
If you look at his approach, it is obvious that either he wouldn’t do it or he’d do it and follow it all the way through to the end without any mercy.
This is not what I taught.
Squad Leader Hao shook his head again and again,
That personality of his was developed by himself.
Oh? Is that so?
Squad Leader Na had an abnormally appreciative look on his face,
Then that means his potential is even better. If he isn’t stopped prematurely, then he will definitely have boundless future potential. Many congratulations.
Well said.
Squad Leader Hao’s showed a submissive face,
After Qin Fen leaves, I’ll temporarily leave this mess to you.
No problem here.
Squad Leader Na said again,
It’s just that Liang Tao’s family…
Squad Leader Hao beat his own chest,
I’ll take responsibility together with Butcher and the gang! This had nothing to do with you.
Then that’ll be alright. I’m not some big shot like the rest of you guys.
Qin Fen squatted down and looked at Liang Tao, who had only fear in his eyes,
I hope that you get better before the upcoming Recruit Competition. Otherwise, you’ll have to say goodbye to the title you worked so hard to achieve.
Uwu…
Liang Tao tried to say something. However, he was wounded so heavily that Qin Fen, who had learned lip reading before, wasn’t able to read what this guy was saying with his lips so swollen that they looked like two strips of ham.
Qin Fen got up and looked at the flying sword under his feet that he had turned into a piece of scrap metal, his arm feeling numb. Four thousand volts of electric current was not something to be underestimated.
Kyokushin Genichi looked at the scrap metal-like Flying Rainbow Sword on the ground, and his body shuddered. It was so exciting to see the Flying Rainbow Sword getting turned into scrap metal so easily! How old was Qin Fen? People really looked forward to the future achievements of this master.
This series of flying swords that you’re using…
Qin Fen looked down at Liang Tao and thoughtlessly shook his head.
Within the aviation combat net, there is a small group of martial artists that use magnet-controlled flying sword. As the expert of talking back in the day, Qin Fen once saw a three-star Magnetic flying sword martial artist, who, while controlling the direction of the dagger, also rotated the dagger itself.
Rotation of the sword tip not only enhanced the attack power, it also strongly reduce the risk of people catching the knife with their bare hands.
You want to catch the sword with your bare hands? Better think about whether or not you’ll lose your fingers to the rotating tip of the sword!
Master…
Kyokushin Genichi woke up from his excitement and found that Qin Fen had already gone on ahead. He quickly used a moving technique to catch up.
The other young martial artists also started leaving with smirks on their faces. This Liang Tao, who even the American recruits were afraid to fight with…if he was able to represent East Asia and join the competition, then they would rather abstain and quit.
The rest of the training recruits just looked at each other. In the end, without saying a word, they continued to run silently as if they didn’t see the wounded member on the ground. No one took the initiative to call the recruit camp hospital doctor to come and treat him.
Master…
Kyokushin Genichi chased after Qin Fen,
Can you guide me today?
Qin Fen stopped and looked at his disciple, who was about the same age as himself,
How strong do you plan to be?
The strongest!
Kyokushin Genichi didn’t even need to think about it. As a martial artist, if they weren’t thinking of becoming the strongest, then what was the point of training?
Qin Fen did not speak. He reached out to form a basic karate posture, then stretched his four fingers, the thumb bent on the side of the hand. He lifted his hand to strike the back of the head, with his right hand is placed on the right rib and cut downwards along the center. He quickly retracted his left hand to his left rib.
Kyokushin Genichi’s eyes were full of doubts. Bare-handed strike? Qin Fen also performed, without using true energy, the high knee kick, the bladed hand side strike, and the backhand straight punch.
Then, Qin Fen performed a horse-riding new karate leg technique.
After he finished a set of new karate’s most basic moves, Qin Fen resumed his usual calm standing posture and asked,
Did you see that?
I saw it.
Kyokushin Genichi nodded quickly.
Qin Fen tidied up his military uniform a little and asked casually,
How is it different from yours?
Different?
Kyokushin Genichi was a little hesitant,
The power is stronger than mine but the rest doesn’t seem to be any different.
True enough…
Qin Fen shook his head,
Your foundation is terrible.
Poor foundation? This was the first time Kyokushin Genichi heard someone evaluate him and say that he had a poor foundation. In Kyokushin Style, if the basics couldn’t reach a certain standard, it was impossible to continue to learn the harder martial arts.
The foundation test of the Kyokushin Style had its own set of scoring standards, with a perfect score of one hundred. There weren’t many people who could get a perfect score. Kyokushin Genichi was always proud of himself for being able to get full marks.
In addition to the normal training, use the rest of your time to do what I did just now and slowly get used to it.
Qin Fen left a dazed Kyokushin Genichi on the spot,
Do not use internal force, rely entirely on your body.
Kyokushin Genichi looked at the back of Qin Fen as he was leaving, feeling a bit unwilling while clenching his fists. When I left Kyokushin Style, I swore on my pride as a martial artist that I would not return. Was it all just so that I could learn the basics of new karate that I’m already familiar with?
Master!
Kyokushin Genichi summoned up his courage and shouted,
In the Kyokushin Style assessment test, I’m one of the few people who got a perfect score.
A perfect score?
Qin Fen paused and stared back at Kyokushin Genich disbelievingly,
Even you can get a perfect score.
Yes.
Kyokushin Genichi nodded forcefully,
So, please teach me the ability to catch a flying sword with my bare hands.
Qin Fen smiled,
You want to learn how to run before you’ve even learned how to walk?
After the words left his mouth, Qin Fen smiled wider. I’m around the same age as him, why am I talking like an old man? Does everyone talk like this after becoming a master?
Qin Fen sighed,
Then let’s do this. How about the two of us spar using basic techniques of karate without using any real energy?
That…
Kyokushin Genichi was a little embarrassed,
Isn’t that going to take a long time? It’s just a competition of stamina.
Is it?
Qin Fen shook his fingers as he walked towards Kyokushin Genichi,
I don’t think so. If you can spar with me until the point where I run out of stamina, then I will teach you whatever you want to learn.
Really?
The glared in Kyokushin Genichi’s eyes became intense. The ability to catch a flying sword with his bare hands — that powerful defensive ability was too tempting.
Come on!
Qin Fen entered a basic new karate battle stance. Kyokushin Genichi confidently flexed his muscles and entered a stance. After practicing new karate for so many years, it’d be very shameful if he couldn’t even win someone who practices new karate for fun.
Even though this person is my master! But every industry has its own specialist!
Kyokushin Genichi was very confident that he could beat Qin Fen without waiting for his stamina to run out. Otherwise, all the years he spent training the new karate would have gone to waste.
The two carefully approached each other. The moment Kyokushin Genichi stepped into his attack range, his body immediately became like a charging bullet, and he performed a basic right punch to Qin Fen’s face! The aura of his power after many years in battle still exploded without him using any true energy! He was confident that even if Qin Fen defended, it would be difficult to completely stop this punch. What Qin Fen would face after that would instead be a ton of consecutive punches until Qin Fen was knocked down.
Bang…
The air seemed to solidify. Time seemed to stop. The Earth seemed not to be rotating. The charging Kyokushin Genichi suddenly couldn’t move. His eyeballs turned up and his legs trembled slightly. Even the true energy in his body was trembling, as if it wanted to explode automatically.
With an effort he held down his true energy. It was stated clearly before their sparring that no one was allowed to use true energy.
Thump…
Kyokushin Genichi, who started cultivating new karate from a young age and passed the assessment with a perfect score, lost instantly in a fight where only the basics of new karate were used. Without the support of true energy in his legs, he immediately kneeled on the ground.
Even as his knees hit the ground, Kyokushin Genichi still couldn’t believe that he, who specializes in new karate, lost to Qin Fen who played around while training. What more, it was an instant loss?
I think…
Qin Fen said seriously while rubbing his chin,
You should apply for a vacation with the drill instructor. Besides eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, use the rest of your time to train the basics. Your foundation is a lot worse than I thought.
Kyokushin Genichi bowed his head and kneeled on the floor, his eyes hollow as he looked at the ground. It turns out that I was a frog at the bottom of the well. [1] All the years I spent practicing were a waste, as the Kyokushin master never really taught me anything! No wonder when those seniors heard that I had passed the assessment with full marks they did not give me a look of respect, but instead, a look of contempt.
All this while Kyokushin Genichi always believed that those contemptuous eyes contained endless jealousy. Until today! He knew now that it wasn’t jealousy, but real contempt.
Oh right…
Qin Fen had only taken a few steps when he stopped and gave a reminder,
Carry weights on your back, hand, and legs. Also, add weights to your clothes, then go to the gravity chamber and withstand the highest amount you can bear. For your meals go to the special canteen there and when you see the chef say that you’re my discipline, he will take care of you and give you the best delicacies.
Yes!
Kyokushin Genichi kneeled on the floor, slammed both his hands on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Fen’s back. Then he whispered,
The best food… it seems that I don’t need to eat that unpalatable food this time. Master actually knows the chef there, I wonder how tasty is the best food?
Turning a corner, Qin Fen covered his mouth and forced down his laughter while quickening his footsteps. After walking a distance of a hundred meters in one go, he let go of his hands and laughed,
The best meal, haha! Good things are meant to be shared, finally, I’m not the only one who has to eat those hard-to-swallow meals.
Kyokushin Genichi’s true energy coursed through his legs. He stood up quickly and rushed to the living quarters. He needed to apply for leave, order a set of weight-bearing clothes, then go to the gravity chamber and start his hard training. He also had to taste the delicious food that his master htold him about.
Qin Fen also rushed to the meeting place agreed with Squad Leader Hao. There is still a lot of time today, so I can continue the special training!
Before the Recruit Competition, he must not be careless at all. The martial artists sent by the Americans definitely aren’t among the strongest.
After meeting up, Squad Leader Hao and the others gave Qin Fen a punch on the shoulder. Everyone who saw the fight just now felt good in their heart.
Instructor, it’s up to you later.
Qin Fen smiled as he rubbed his shoulder,
I really do need to ask for your help to clean up the mess.
No problem!
Squad Leader Hao said with a big gesture,
It would be better for both sides if they just forget this incident. Otherwise, everyone will play! Let’s see who will play the other to death.
Yes.
Butcher said,
We received a new message just now. The people at the West Asian Military Region, they said they want to engage in a mock battle for the recruits before the Recruit Competition. It would be considered as one last warm-up before the start of the competition. They also said something like preventing a regretful event like an unnoticed talent suddenly appearing.
Phoenix sneered,
Breaking down what they said: they just want to give themselves a strong momentum before the start of the game. This has always been the worst military region. It may be that they’ve seen our weak East Asian military region for many years, so they want to use us East Asians as a sacrifice to their reputation.
Confrontation? Mock battle? I have to participate?
Qin Fen went straight to the main subject.
Of course.
Squad Leader Hao spread his hands,
You have a certain amount of prestige after restructuring Liang Tao. In the short term, I’m afraid no one will dare to use this sort of method like Liang Tao. But if you do not go and participate in this confrontation, I predict…
I understand.
Qin Fen blinked,
If I don’t go, the forces behind Liang Tao will become troublesome, is that right?
Squad Leader Hao used his hands to hold Qin Fen’s face,
You really are a disciple of mine… hey? What’s the meaning of this, kid? I just want to pat your face and show how close we are.
Instructor.
Qin Fen showed a rather helpless smile,
You are close to me, of course, I am very happy about it. But can you please wipe off the ghost face powder on your hand, then hold my face? Although it is colorless and odorless, and will only turn black after you rub it, if I didn’t fall for your trap last time, how could I fall for it this time?
Is that so?
Squad Leader Hao withdrew his hands,
I thought that after you defended against this the last time, you wouldn’t defend against it this time. I didn’t expect your memory to be so good.
Qin Fen put his gaze on Gale Riley’s. If it wasn’t because of this instructors ambush not long ago, which served as a reminder this time, it really was possible that he’d overturn his boat in a gutter [2] and be played by Squad Leader Hao.
Gale Riley, it’s your turn to look after Qin Fen this afternoon.
Squad leader Hao made a crisp statement,
We are going to be busy. If you can train him until he is fearless, then you’ve got skills.
Gale Riley’s cracked his fingers, his confident expression showing a faint smile,
Don’t worry, I will entertain this student who I haven’t seen for a long time.
Qin Fen felt a cold chill run down his spine, that long-lost hell training feeling finally came back!
Time quickly passed by to the afternoon meal time. The chef was very happy to see the scene of a young man wearing a new karate uniform claiming to be Qin Fen’s disciple, asking for the best delicacies, then covering his mouth and rushing to the trash can to vomit.
Kid, your master is letting you know of the phrase no pain, no gain.
The chef kindly added another spoonful of ‘delicious food’ into Kyokushin Genichi’s bowl,
You have to finish eating it, don’t waste it. I will be relaying this situation to Qin Fen.
With a green face, Kyokushin Genichi returned to the dining table. Looking at the ‘delicious food’, he deeply regretted introducing himself to the chef as Qin Fen’s disciple.
What?! Tao Tao was beaten by someone?
Cao Rong’s broken porcelain voice could be heard,
Was it serious? Where was he injured? Who beat him? What? That serious? Qin Fen?
Qin Fen! I swear that we will be your nemesis …
Cao Rong slammed the phone on the pedestal, and angrily dialed another number,
Bro, your nephew was beaten by someone…
Cao Bo, who was working at the office, looked at the phone call from a woman that will only cause trouble at home and decided to simply press the hang-up button.
The call you made is temporarily unavailable…
The mechanical sound could be heard coming through the receiver. Cao Rong stood there blankly for a few seconds before she slammed the receiver on the pedestal again and screamed,
Hanging up on my call! You’re not going to help me? Your nephew wants to make a name for himself and you’re not going to help! Now that he’s been beaten, you actually hang up the phone! Alright then! Do you think that I, Cao Rong, can’t do anything without your help?
Cao Rong angrily left the sofa and turned on the desktop computer in her room, her hands typing quickly on the virtual keyboard. She entered the black market website that Zhang Xiangyang had introduced to Qin Fen not long ago.
Hitman … hitman … the best hitman …
Cao Rong chanted the words as she entered the hitman for hire page. When she saw the price listing she was stunned.
The price of a hitman was not an astronomical figure — with her income, she actually had enough to hire one — but unfortunately, she spends a lot of her money in her daily life. All the food she eats and the things that she uses are all luxury items. She could barely get by every day with her cash at hand…she can’t afford a hitman, not even a third-rate one.
It seems…
Cao Rong stared at the screen while gnashing her teeth,
The only way is to borrow some money from the public funds of the family business…

Butcher said,
We received a new message just now. The people at the West Asian Military Region, they said they want to engage in a mock battle for the recruits before the Recruit Competition. It would be considered as one last warm-up before the start of the competition. They also said something like preventing a regretful event like an unnoticed talent suddenly appearing.
Phoenix sneered,
Breaking down what they said: they just want to give themselves a strong momentum before the start of the game. This has always been the worst military region. It may be that they’ve seen our weak East Asian military region for many years, so they want to use us East Asians as a sacrifice to their reputation.
Confrontation? Mock battle? I have to participate?
Qin Fen went straight to the main subject.
Of course.
Squad Leader Hao spread his hands,
You have a certain amount of prestige after restructuring Liang Tao. In the short term, I’m afraid no one will dare to use this sort of method like Liang Tao. But if you do not go and participate in this confrontation, I predict…
I understand.
Qin Fen blinked,
If I don’t go, the forces behind Liang Tao will become troublesome, is that right?
Squad Leader Hao used his hands to hold Qin Fen’s face,
You really are a disciple of mine… hey? What’s the meaning of this, kid? I just want to pat your face and show how close we are.
Instructor.
Qin Fen showed a rather helpless smile,
You are close to me, of course, I am very happy about it. But can you please wipe off the ghost face powder on your hand, then hold my face? Although it is colorless and odorless, and will only turn black after you rub it, if I didn’t fall for your trap last time, how could I fall for it this time?
Is that so?
Squad Leader Hao withdrew his hands,
I thought that after you defended against this the last time, you wouldn’t defend against it this time. I didn’t expect your memory to be so good.
Qin Fen put his gaze on Gale Riley’s. If it wasn’t because of this instructors ambush not long ago, which served as a reminder this time, it really was possible that he’d overturn his boat in a gutter [2] and be played by Squad Leader Hao.
Gale Riley, it’s your turn to look after Qin Fen this afternoon.
Squad leader Hao made a crisp statement,
We are going to be busy. If you can train him until he is fearless, then you’ve got skills.
Gale Riley’s cracked his fingers, his confident expression showing a faint smile,
Don’t worry, I will entertain this student who I haven’t seen for a long time.
Qin Fen felt a cold chill run down his spine, that long-lost hell training feeling finally came back!
Time quickly passed by to the afternoon meal time. The chef was very happy to see the scene of a young man wearing a new karate uniform claiming to be Qin Fen’s disciple, asking for the best delicacies, then covering his mouth and rushing to the trash can to vomit.
Kid, your master is letting you know of the phrase no pain, no gain.
The chef kindly added another spoonful of ‘delicious food’ into Kyokushin Genichi’s bowl,
You have to finish eating it, don’t waste it. I will be relaying this situation to Qin Fen.
With a green face, Kyokushin Genichi returned to the dining table. Looking at the ‘delicious food’, he deeply regretted introducing himself to the chef as Qin Fen’s disciple.
What?! Tao Tao was beaten by someone?
Cao Rong’s broken porcelain voice could be heard,
Was it serious? Where was he injured? Who beat him? What? That serious? Qin Fen?
Qin Fen! I swear that we will be your nemesis …
Cao Rong slammed the phone on the pedestal, and angrily dialed another number,
Bro, your nephew was beaten by someone…
Cao Bo, who was working at the office, looked at the phone call from a woman that will only cause trouble at home and decided to simply press the hang-up button.
The call you made is temporarily unavailable…
The mechanical sound could be heard coming through the receiver. Cao Rong stood there blankly for a few seconds before she slammed the receiver on the pedestal again and screamed,
Hanging up on my call! You’re not going to help me? Your nephew wants to make a name for himself and you’re not going to help! Now that he’s been beaten, you actually hang up the phone! Alright then! Do you think that I, Cao Rong, can’t do anything without your help?
Cao Rong angrily left the sofa and turned on the desktop computer in her room, her hands typing quickly on the virtual keyboard. She entered the black market website that Zhang Xiangyang had introduced to Qin Fen not long ago.
Hitman … hitman … the best hitman …
Cao Rong chanted the words as she entered the hitman for hire page. When she saw the price listing she was stunned.
The price of a hitman was not an astronomical figure — with her income, she actually had enough to hire one — but unfortunately, she spends a lot of her money in her daily life. All the food she eats and the things that she uses are all luxury items. She could barely get by every day with her cash at hand…she can’t afford a hitman, not even a third-rate one.
It seems…
Cao Rong stared at the screen while gnashing her teeth,
The only way is to borrow some money from the public funds of the family business…
