Samuele stood calmly on the ruined battlefield, gazing at the tattered Qin Fen’s martial attire. His calm expression brought out an inexplicable handsomeness.

Do you want to exchange pointers?

Qin Fen’s voice seemed to be coming from the ancient battlefield. Suddenly, Samuele was hit with a chill. Exchange pointers!? Are you kidding me? Exchanging pointers with you isn’t just a matter of losing my face if I lose, neither it is as simple as being sent to the hospital, if you are distracted just a bit in the fight, a single punch can take my life right then and there.

Martial artists weren’t afraid of death but their death should also have some meaning. Samuele didn’t see any value in dying in a spar with Qin Fen.
Sammartino’s lips twitched uncontrollably to the point that they were actually making smacking sounds. Is his kid really a basic-type outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist who has just joined the Sacred Martial Hall?


The rest of inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists too were devoid of that arrogance of superiority which they had when they first came. Each of them was staring at Qin Fen with an ashen look on their faces; they could utter or think anything for a long time. A young martial artist who had just joined the Sacred Martial Hall is actually so strong. Not to mention the freshmen inner Sacred Martial Hall, even the first year, second year or even the third year inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists would not occupy many advantages before him.

The other young martial artists in the quiet lecture hall were waiting for Samuele’s reply. Qin Fen’s furrowed his brow slightly as he swept a glance through the other inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists and said indifferently,
If you think you can’t defeat me one-on-one, you can come at me together.

The lecture hall sunk into pin-drop silence!
All the young martial artists had their attention on the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists. If the basic-type outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist, who had just entered the Sacred Martial Hall, was just as arrogant and rampant as before, any inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist would come to teach him in rage.
But today, after having seen the fight, Samuele didn’t feel that Qin Fen was arrogant at all. The plain and simple tone sounded like it was a very normal thing.
Together!? 
Sammartino was extremely clear that even if the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist attacked him together, it was just a side dish to Qin Fen, nothing more than a stepping stone.
Hesitation, the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist had never hesitated like today. The young martial artist before them was a super-level existence.
Samuele stared at his younger brother with hatred. If it wasn’t for this kid, how could I fall into this dilemma today?

Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders and raised his leg as he took a step forward…
Swish!


Samuele kicked the ground with his toe fiercely as his body flew back a few dozen meters. He was staring at Qin Fen with vigilance, his face pale.
Just about the same time, other inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists hastily retreated, one after another. Immediately after, they took defensive or offensive stances as if they Qin Fen was their enemy.

Haha.
Qin Fen broke into helpless laughter and shook his head. These people are so terrified that I just took a casual step, haven’t had any intention of making a move on them, but it made them hastily retreat. They can’t even make a basic judgment whether the martial artist was going to fight or not.


Hahaha…


No way!?


So funny…

After a silence of a few seconds, the young martial artists in the lecture hall burst into laughter, one after another. Much to their surprise, the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists, who usually walked with a domineering attitude, chin up and chest out, jumped back in scare from Qin Fen’s single advance. Never had any inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist had lost face in such a way.
Samuele felt his cheeks burning. Had he not been of losing to Qin Fen, he would have taught these young martial artists who were laughing at him.

Trash.
Sakra Azia declared coldly.
How can such a guy enter the inner Sacred Martial Hall.

Ferrero nodded his acknowledgment, again and again,
Such people are indeed ineligible to enter the inner Sacred Martial Hall. However, you can’t blame them. Qin Fen had just fought with Wu Zun. Aren’t you and I shocked as well?




Hmph!
Sakra Azia let out a cold snort and said,
If it was me, I would have still fought with Qin Fen even if I was as powerful as him! Martial artists can lose a battle, can die in a battle, but then can’t do what he did, never, ever! The martial artists should have the bones of a martial artist.

Ferrero raised his thumb.
Therefore, you are one of the six departmental heads. Those kids can never reach your level in their lives.

Sakra Azia waved his sleeve before his figure disappeared from the rooftop. The battle had already come to an end. Having seen Qin Fen’s performance today, he had no choice but to admit that Qin Fen was very outstanding, even if he was in a hostile position.

Qin Fen…
Samuele took a deep breath. The panic in his eyes was gradually replaced by nervousness. The pride of inner Sacred Martial Hall returned to his face.
I must admit, you are very good. But it doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want rampantly. There are many experts in inner Sacred Martial Hall. They will come next time! They will be enough for you! Today, I admit my defeat, even if we attacked you together, we will lose. Bye!

The inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists cupper their fists together before they turned around and disappeared from the lecture hall.
Qin Fen smiled and shook his head even more helplessly. Rampant!? When have I been rampant? It has not even been two days since I came to the Sacred Martial Hall and I have been on the other end of the challenge! My goal may have been to see and experience the martial arts of Sacred Martial Hall from the start, I had even planned to challenge others one after another, but I had not even started.

The young martial artists quickly gathered beside Qin Fen. Before he even had the opportunity to resist, they picked him up and threw him into the air.
Although their contracts were divided into equity and basic-type, they were all outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists at the end of the day. All of them had been suppressed by the inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists to the point that they could not even lift their heads before them. But now that a comet-like young martial artist had suddenly appeared, how could they not be excited?

Qin Fen, you are very strong!


Yeah, how can you be so strong!




Do you have any secrets?

Facing all kinds of questions from everywhere, Qin Fen didn’t know how to answer for a while.

What kind of question are you asking? How can you lots compare to my Master? All of you step back!
Relying on the strength of the fourteen-star level, Ren Tiansheng pushed the young martial artists aside and said, standing before Qin Fen,
Your foundations are very shallow. Come again when you have practiced the first-level of true energy oscillation! Advanced martial arts aren’t suitable for you currently.

In the face of the majesty of the lecturer and the strength of the fourteen-star level, the young martial artists could only back off.
The vicious look on Ren Tiansheng’s face was replaced by a huge grin as he turned to Qin Fen in the blink of an eye.
Master, let’s talk somewhere else. It’s too messy here.

Master!? 
Qin Fen looked at about forty-years-old, fourteen-star martial artist and sighed, again and again. A ten-star martial artist becoming the teacher of a fourteen-star martial artist!? This world is going crazier and crazier.


Qin Fen.

A not so clear voice rang from outside the crowd. Qin Fen perked his ears as his eyes flickered with joy of meeting a friend.
Bai Sheng’s voice! 
Qin Fen still remembered. This is Bai Sheng’s voice! Bai Sheng, who gave me incomparable advantages stealthily, when he invited me that day! 
He may not have heard this voice many times, but he could not forget it in his life.
A simple thank you is not enough for a gratitude that can never be repaid, it should be etched in one’s heart forever! 
Qin Fen threw his arms open as he ran towards Bai Sheng in large strides before greeting him as a junior should to a senior, respectfully.


Although martial strength was an important aspect in the world of martial artists; someone who was addressed as a senior by many martial artists two-three years back may be addressed as Old Bai when the other party’s strength caught up, and Little Bai when the opposite party had surpassed him…
Qin Fen didn’t want to do such a rude thing. Some graces were worth remembering for a lifetime. Bai Sheng had intentionally gifted him the Book of Wu back than. That was precisely that kind of grace.
Not to mention he was just a ten-star martial artist today, even if he had the luck to reach the divine-beast level in the future, Qin Fen belied that he would always treat Bai Sheng as a senior with a respect which he deserved.
This!? 
The young martial artists were stunned. Ren Tiansheng stood dumb in his place, even more so. Bai Sheng isn’t a fourteen-star martial artist, neither is the foundation of his martial art any better than Qin Fen. Then, why is Qin Fen so polite to him?


Senior, long time no see.
Qin Fen slowly raised his back as he asked him with a smile on his face,
How have you been these days?

Bai Sheng was also stunned. A hearty grin occupied his the corner of lips and eyes quickly. Although given face by such a young and outstanding hero, what truly made him happy was that it came from the bottom of Qin Fen’s heart.

I’m fine.
Bai Sheng nodded with a smile constantly.
You look fine as well. I have been waiting for you to come here for a long time. I thought you were not going to come.

Bai Sheng continued, punching Qin Fen’s shoulder lightly,
Kid, I came to talk to you about two things.


Old Bai, let’s talk somewhere else.
Ren Tiansheng jumped in between them and pushed Qin Fen and Bai Sheng’s back the other way.
Let’s talk somewhere else.

Qin Fen turned his head, looking back at Caesar and the others. Xue Tian raised his hand and motioned.
Old Qin, go on. These guys have watched your fight, I’m afraid they are going to close up and meditate for a while.

Brooks nodded. This fight had given him a lot of inspiration. More importantly, Qin Fen had used almost everyone’s martial techniques. It could be said that the student had surpassed his teachers.

Master, where is your room? Let’s go to your room, okay? It just so happens that I know where it is.
Ren Tiansheng was acting all familiar from the start, he was not worse than Xue Tian. Had there not been too much difference in their appearance, Qin Fen truly believed that Ren Tiansheng and Xue Tian might be somehow related.
Having walked some distance from the lecture hall, Bai Sheng pointed at the nearby standing Gao Yuan on the road and said to Qin Fen,
This is my friend, Gao Yuan.

Qin Fen nodded lightly as he bowed and cupped his fist like a junior greeting the senior.
Senior.

Gao Yuan stood dumb in his place for a few seconds. Before meeting Qin Fen, he had come up with all kinds of possible scenarios, proud, disdainful, hypocritical, courteous, but he had never expected Qin Fen to act so politely. Moreover, there wasn’t even an ounce of hypocrisy in his politeness.
Calm and humble! 
Gao Yuan nodded, again and again. It was really surprising to see a young man with such a deep martial arts foundation to be so humble.
Having returned to the A-Block on the sixth floor of Building 122, Ren Tiansheng looked about the room and said, clicking his tongue,
Master, your room is really bad, how about moving to my room? The living conditions for a fourteen-start martial artist is far better than a freshman’s.

Qin Fen shook his head, indifferently.
I am here to see and experience the Sacred Martial Hall martial arts. I didn’t come here on a vacation. I am fine here. It is many times better than my previous place. There is no need to change.

Bai Sheng sat down on the sofa comfortably, looked at somewhat agitated Gao Yuan and said with a smile,
Qin Fen, I need to discuss two things with you.

Qin Fen dragged a stool and sat opposite to Bai Sheng, listening carefully.

First is this.
Bai Sheng took out two handwritten booklets from his vest and placed them on the table. He pressed his finger on the books and said as he approached Qin Fen,
Before you came here, I thought I should give you a present if you came to the Sacred Martial Hall. These are Gao Yuan and my martial arts notes. I thought they would be helpful to you. But now, I’m afraid they can only be used as a reference.

Qin Fen looked at the notes and then at Bai Sheng before he picked up the notes with both hands, earnestly. Having been walking on the road of martial arts, his understanding of martial arts had grown deeper. Many people were used to hiding things. But Bai Sheng wasn’t pretentious or had come to this decision temporarily, not at all.

Senior, thank you.
Qin Fen took the notes carefully, his eyes filled with gratitude.
These are not just reference materials, they are of great help to me.

Gao Yuan looked at Bai Sheng blankly. ‘I could not understand why he asked martial arts notes when he won the last gamble. It turns out, he was always planning to gift them to this young martial artist.’

Second.
Bai Sheng raised his finger and pointed at Ren Tiansheng.
Old Bai’s true energy oscillations control has been stuck at level four. Perhaps he can enter fifth-level with your help!


Yes.
Ren Tiansheng raised his eyebrow as he stared at Bai Sheng with a hearty smile on his face.

Old Bai, are you interested in checking whether my control of true energy oscillations has increased?

Qin Fen wasn’t stupid; he understood everything with just one look at Bai Sheng’s expression.
Senior, can you…

Bai Sheng stretched his palm out and pushed them against Qin Fen’s wrist, earnestly. Immediately, two bouts of level-four true energy oscillations collided aloud with rapidly changing frequency.
One second, ten seconds… thirty seconds…
Qin Fen withdrew his palm before his middle and index turned into sword fingers. Next, he quickly pointed at Bai Sheng’s Jian Jing (GB 21) is located in the muscle by first pinching the shoulder muscle with your thumb and middle finger  Jian Jing acupoints 1
 and said,
Senior, I will hit transmit a wave of true energy with varying frequencies into your body, please try to feel it.

Bai Sheng closed his eyes and sensed the true energy transmitted into his body by Qin Fen…
Ba-dump…Ba-dump…Ba-dump…

Gao Yuan stared at Bai Sheng nervously. Previously, when Qin Fen helped Ren Tiansheng entered the fifth level of true energy oscillation, it was quite shocking; so shocking that others dared not believe it.
The still true energy is Bai Sheng’s body in the beginning gradually started resonating with Qin Fen’s true energy. His true energy frequency was constantly changing. At first, the undulations were only limited to the main meridians, but after half an hour, the true energy in all the meridians began oscillating at different frequencies.
!? 
Bai Shen was pleasantly surprised. This wave of Qin Fen’s true energy is completely different from the fifth-level of true energy control infused into Ren Tiansheng. He is using the sixth-level of true energy oscillations!

The difference between the fifth-level and sixth-level of true energy oscillation was as big as the difference between heaven and earth. And it was even more difficult to do these two things in others’ bodies.
Bai Sheng was shocked, as well as, incomparably excited by Qin Fen’s amazing control of true energy oscillations! He had finally broken through after having stuck for so many years! A crucial step for the Nirvana Marrow Transformation was to undulate the true energy in different meridians at different frequencies.
One hour, two hours, three hours…
Ren Tiansheng and Gao Yuan kept staring curiously at Bai Sheng. How long does it going to take? Theoretically, Bai Sheng should need just half an hour with his aptitude.

Gao Yuan looked at Qin Fen’s forehead which was covered in sweat with some worry. It was far more dangerous and difficult to undulate the true energy in others’ bodies than in one’s own. Are they going to be okay?

Four hours…
Gao Yuan’s and Ren Tiansheng’s eyes were filled with disbelief. A 100% concentration for a full four hours! It’s really mind-blowing to stay with this young man for too long. Four hours of assistance marathon and without any mistakes. This level of control may put all the fifteen-star martial artists to shame!

After four hours thirty-seven minutes, Qin Fen finally breathed a long, deep breath before wiping the sweat off his forehead.
Gao Yuan, on the other hand, stared nervously at Bai Sheng when he found that his old friend was not showing any signs of waking up; he was still meditating.

Senior Bai Sheng probably going to need a little more time to adapt and remember.
Qin Fen said as he stretched his hands out,
Senior, let’s get started.

Just like before, Gao Yuan entered the fifth-level of true energy control after half an hour just as he wished. His eyes filled with worship as he kept gawking at Qin Fen.

It’s nothing. It’s nothing more than raising my hand.
Qin Fen wiped the sweat off his forehead, a happy look on his face. Having guided the three in true energy oscillation may seem worthless, but only he knew how worthwhile it was in fact.
Over these days, each of the seven experts had entered the realm of mastery. Qin Fen also wanted to achieve mastery but he was always short by a hair’s breadth. Had he entered the realm of mastery before the fight, then the fight would have ended in a draw.
Mastery!? 
Qin Fen closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. A hearty smile boomed on his face.
Helping the three in true energy oscillation, investigating their meridians while guiding the true energy oscillations, he had entered the realm of mastery, knowingly or unknowingly!
What was realm of mastery!? It was the foresight like how cicadas could sense the autumn before even the autumn wind started blowing.
When Bai Sheng was out of his meditation, it had already been five hours after Qin Fen’s help. The moment he opened his eyes, his eyes bloomed with a gleam of confidence and excitement. His whole temperament changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.
Gao Yuan stood gawking at Bai Sheng for a long time. Only then could he speak, doubtful,
You…you have reached the sixth-level of true energy oscillations control?

Bai Sheng clenched his fist forcefully as an unprecedented joy appeared on his face.
Yes! Sixth-level control…

In the next moment, a layer of watery mist immediately covered Bai Sheng’s shining eyes. He thought that he could never make a progress in martial arts all his life, but this view had been subverted by others in the blink of an eye.
Bai Sheng had the urge to kneel and shout at the sky. Having been through this barrier, his hope of Nirvana Marrow Transformation which had been smothered was rekindled! Although this hope was still small, it was better than zero!

You…you…
Gao Yuan was unable to believe it. Such a huge gap had appeared in two people with the same aptitude and strength in just a few hours.
Although level-five and level-six control of true energy oscillations differed by only one level, the hopes they represented were completely different.
Bai Sheng looked at Qin Fen in embarrassment.
Gao Yuan is my best friend…

Gao Yuan froze. Ren Tiansheng stood gawking at Qin Fen.
Old Bai, you mean to say…

Bai Sheng still found it unbelievable; there was a wry smile on his face.
Yeah, I can’t believe it myself. It is indeed much more difficult to bring out sixth-level oscillations in others, but it is indeed true.
