Chapter 46: The Butcher
Translator:StrivonEditor:Nora
Of course, whether or not Neo Taekwondo was truly the world's number one leg art in both name and reality was still up for discussion. However, Neo Taekwondo's Gale Kick and Thunderbolt Kick truly did possess powerful combat capabilities.
Narrow spaces were quite suitable for striking with the leg techniques of Neo Taekwondo. If one practiced the Gale Kick to a decent level, it was possible to cover the entire space with leg-afterimages.
"Fight!"
The system transmitted the notification that everyone couldn't be more familiar with. Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains came charging out practically in sync with the sound.
In an instant, Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains transformed into a ferocious beast. He made two rapid steps and instantly appeared before Qin Fen. His right shoulder rose slightly, as his hands guarded in front. His right leg left the earth, and a high whip kick lashed toward Qin Fen's skull.
The leg lashed out like a steel whip from ancient times. Its ferocity brought with it a mighty wind, the Neo Taekwondo uniform screaming like muffled thunder.
The ferociousness of the Neo Taekwondo's high whip kick displayed the power of two-star strength practically to its limits! There was no space for Qin Fen to use the Dragon Guard in this narrow alley.
Qin Fen immediately became excited. He had been thinking about Park Jong-Hwan not too long ago, and his body practically took the man before him to be Park Jong-Hwan subconsiously. With a step of his right leg to fill the gap, his foot, waist, and shoulder formed a central axis as his left arm lashed out into the Flowing Whipstrike of the Shaolin Arhat Fist!
Boom!
The fist whip strike collided with the leg whip strike!
Under everyone's dumbstruck gazes, Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains fell back half a step. Before everyone could react, Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains suddenly retreated two more steps, his feet stepping on the wall. He pushed off, leaping high into the air, his right leg like an ancient giant axe as it cleaved down!
Neo Taekwondo's Battle-Ax Kick! This move was normally used by meteor level experts by utilizing one's strength to soar high and display a ferocious leg technique. Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains cleverly utilized his surroundings to use this super move that was above his level! Only now did everyone understand why he chose this environment to fight in. It was all for the sake of this one strike.
"Excellent! Come!"
Qin Fen was scared of boring and dull fights. The stronger the opponent, the greater his desire for battle. His legs split to stride a step forward, and he firmly planted himself into the ground with the Shaolin Arhat Fist's Great Horse Stance. His arms crossed high over his head, and his body sunk down before he ferociously straightened back up. It was none other than the Second Rise Into Mountain Stance of the fitness exercise of fist forms!
Boom!
Even though they were in a virtual world, everyone felt the earth beneath Qin Fen's feet tremble.
The Battle-ax Kick ferociously smashed into Qin Fen's stance, and Qin Fen's stance broke Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains's super move. Before Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains could recover from his shock, Qin Fen's arms thrummed with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, causing his opponent's leg to tremble. Qin Fen gave endless chase with his legs, his right leg treading onto the wall. He soared high up into the air, just like Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains did, and he rotated his waist as he rose, his leg lashing out at the same time.
The Shaolin Arhat Fist's Whirlwind Kick!
"KO!"
The system transmitted this new word of victory, but soon this announcement faded away thanks to Qin Fen's consecutive strikes with the Whirlwind Kick.
"Death!" The system determined. The degree of injury that Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains received from the kicks reached death!
Qin Fen looked at Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains fade away, his boiling battle blood gradually subsiding. He told himself that he had been far too into the fight. He disregarded the rules of business and killed a customer.
There were always people who died in duels on the battle network. Being killed quite a serious blow to confidence.
Often, those who were killed wouldn't go after their killer for revenge until they were fully prepared.
Qin Fen used fights not only to temper himself but to personally experience all sorts of martial arts and fighting styles. Fights also helped him cultivate a challenger's mentality for the next customer.
He often chose to win by a narrow margin. This was to let the opponent think that they lost due to luck. They would often challenge him again after a few days.
Glowing Child of the Wind said to One Must Be Low Key, the number one expert in battle records of the top one hundred two-stars, "Today, Thirty-Six Hours is very hot blooded. He probably wanted to bring out his true skills this time."
"What a pity...." One Must Be Low Key sighed, "Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains wasn't good enough to make him truly serious, just hot-blooded only for a moment. Neo Taekwondo was used decently, but unfortunately the State of Korea's Tai Chi internal art is a bit lacking."
"You can push him into bringing out his true strength," Glowing Child of the Wind gave One Must Be Low Key a profound glance.
"...." One Must Be Low Key went silent before ultimately shaking his head, "It's pointless fighting him at his suppressed strength. I want to fight him in an all out battle with no worries."
Glowing Child of the Wind laughed, "Me too! I was a bit sad when I lost last time. A strong controlled precision doesn't guarantee a win in an all out fight. Controlled precision is just one element of battle."
Qin Fen warmed up his shoulders as he began to select his next opponent from the three remaining challengers....
.......
Nightfall.
After a day of training, practically everyone in recruit boot camp were in deep sleep. The few that didn't sleep all had helmets on their heads. They were fighting on the physical combat network, aerial combat network, and other battle networks.
Squad Leader Hao slowly sat up and revealed a hint of agrin when he saw Qin Fen that Qin Fen wore the Sky Battle Network helmet.
He got up from his bed, softly and quickly, and quickly left the living quarters. He used his full meteor level strength to dash rapidly toward a different living quarters.
In recruit boot camp, a single-person living quarters still remained lit within the dusk. Its door had been long since closed. There was even a 'Closed Doors, Do Not Disturb' sign hanging on the handle.
Squad Leader Hao arrived before the door. It was as if he didn't even see the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door. He simply stomped the door open with a foot.
At the same time the door was kicked open, a figure quickly dashed out from within the building. The aura the man gave was more like that of a tiger than a man, and his fist rapidly increased in size within Squad Leader Hao's pupils.
Bam bam bam!
Three punches were exchanged in a row, and the air shook without end from their exchange.
"Mr. Hao! Do you not know how to read!? Didn't you see this boss's 'Closed Doors, Do Not Disturb' sign?"
Under the moonlight, the man who struck out was larger and more muscular than Squad Leader Hao by a factor.
"There's a pressing matter, so I looked for you. Come and train a recruit with me." Squad Leader Hao said very directly, "Of all the drill instructors in military boot camp, you, the Butcher, may not be the most powerful in martial might, but you're absolutely the one most capable of fighting on th battlefield. You are the best at killing."
"...." After a short period of silence, the Butcher Chen Yuantu's two thick eyebrows twisted. He studied Squad Leader Hao for quite a while in displeasure, "You broke my door because of this little matter? I'm not going! I'm not training! This boss is busy! I got no time!"
"Is that so?" Squad Leader Hao looked at Chen Yuantu very seriously, "Are you sure? I am just sending something good to your doorstep. If you give up now, and later you beg me to train the recruit together, then you'll need to treat me to a week at the Golden Pavilion Restaurant for me to agree."
