Chapter 187: One Against TenTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

As a high-rank martial art, the Federation had released only the first three stages of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. In other words, when a cultivator reached its peak and broken through, he or she could only remain as a four-star initial stage martial artist; there was no possibility for him or her to enter the ranks of five-star, whatsoever.

If one wanted to take another step, all he or she could do was pick another art; they didn’t have any other options.

Even if one was a genius, it would still be impossible for one to get self-enlightened to the fourth stage by just practicing the first three stages of the art, despite the amount of martial arts foundation one had.

Song Zhenting measured Qin Fen once more. Although this young man’s background hadn’t been vetted through unique resources, still he had learned through some powerful channels; apart from his missing brother, he simply didn’t have any other relatives whatsoever. What more, he wasn’t acquainted with any member of the Sacred Martial Hall.

The later stage of the exercise could only be learned by entering the Sacred Martial Hall. Then, how did he come to learn it? Is it that some member of the Sacred Martial Hall had grown so gutsy that he even dared to break the rules of the Sacred Martial Hall and privately taught him?

Impossible! Song Zhenting discarded this notion immediately. Ever since his father had disposed of some powerful people with strong backings after they had gone against the martial artists of the Sacred Martial Hall, no one within the Federation dared to break the rules of the Sacred Martial Hall ever again.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, without fusing with any marvelous and odd protective cultivation arts! Song Zhenting’s eyes grew more and more blurry; a young man who is struggling to make his ends meet, how did have the time to work so hard to comprehend such a set of fitness exercise?! A poverty-stricken young man, how did he come to be in the possession of such a marvelous protective cultivation art!?

The sliver of praise that was present in Song Zhenting’s eyes at the beginning was now being gradually replaced with an ice-cold look. Anyone who was playing the idea of going against the family didn’t need to continue living in this world. More importantly, he didn’t have the qualifications to have his treasured daughter.

Qin Fen clearly sensed the threatening aura that had been emanating from the beginning from Song Zhenting gradually turn into an obvious killing intent; he truly wanted to kill him.

The killing intent on Song Zhenting vanished in the blink of an eye. The calm and dull look returned to his eyes once more as he sat back down on the rattan chair.

He quietly gazed at Qin Fen for a few seconds. This young man was the fastest to extricate himself from the ‘Wu’ character after entering the room.

The ‘Wu’ character was personally written by the Earth Martial God. It was such a simple character but it bore endless martial dao.

Almost every martial artist would be trapped in it by just glancing at it; they won’t be able to extricate themselves.

However, to many people, this ‘Wu’ character wasn’t some guiding light that will lead them to the correct path of martial dao, no, not at all.

On the contrary, if any weak people gaze at this character, they would only be led astray. In severe cases, it could even lead them into qigong deviation; their entire meridian would rupture, pushing them to their doom.

To the youths, entering the room and looking at this ‘Wu’ character was just a test. If they could get any enlightenment from it, it would naturally be good, if they couldn’t, that was fine as well.

Only, the young men coming to participate in the matchmaking were bound by the constraints of their age. They had endless potential but did not have the corresponding robust foundation.

As far as they were concerned, they simply didn’t want to comprehend anything in here, for they simply couldn’t comprehend anything, whatsoever.

As far as they were concerned, this test was nothing more than to see who could extricate themselves from the devilish constraints of the ‘Wu’ character. If they didn’t suffer any harm, then, they would have passed the test.

This was a unique method to check the strength of a martial artist as well as the strength and potential of their martial dao.

If someone was lacking in any one among the three, it would be reflected in this ‘Wu’ character.

Ge Bing was once the fastest of these candidates, holding the fastest record of seventy-six seconds!

However, this record did not hold for too long. it was immediately broken by the following Qin Fen with an overwhelming advantage.

From Qin Fen’s initial performance of this ‘Wu’ character, Song Zhenting discovered that his daughter indeed had quite an insight; she had actually chosen such a good and prospective young man.

As for the money, it was a test to see one’s character.

Facing a hundred or ten thousand bucks, people may be able to suppress their desires.

But facing a million, ten million, a hundred million, or a mountain of gold, it would be difficult for the people to suppress their desires.

Even if one said love was above everything with a strong sense of righteousness, said it was everything in life, their true intentions could easily be seen from the look in their eyes.

But to Song Zhenting’s surprise, the poverty-fearing Qin Fen, who was found to be extremely greedy from the reports, the very same Qin Fen facing the lure of riches, the riches that was no different than a mountain of gold, actually regarded the wealth as if it was no different than a pile of waste. This was totally out of his character.

While wealth is covetable for a gentleman as well, he takes it in its natural course. Suddenly, Song Zhenting recalled this sentence as he looked at Qin Fen.

Even when facing such a monstrous threat, that firm willpower caused Song Zhenting to praise once again. Back when he was young, he might not necessarily have had such a firm willpower like this kid.

A young man with no background had performed far better than the others in the test and paved his way to the last hurdle. Song Zhenming was somewhat taken aback.

However, just this final hurdle…

All the good impression that Qin Fen had just left on Song Zhenting was entirely overthrown.

Kill or not kill?

In the blink of an eye, Song Zhenting had already made his decision: he chose to spare Qin Fen.

It was better to leave a person who had given oneself away than to kill him and let him hide again.

“Young man,” Song Zhenting raised his arm and pointed at the door, “Looking at Jia Jia’s face, I pass you in my assessment. But let me tell you that my father, the Earth Martial God…his decision has never changed. Depending on your social status and assets, the moment I let you meet my father’s proxy, you will completely lose the qualification and will be eliminated.”

Qin Fen gave an earnest bow to Song Zhenting before gradually making his way out of the room. At this moment, if he said anything, it would be nothing but superfluous. With the schedule determined, it would be better to find a way to work out some real skills and show it to them.

After having withdrawn from the red-bricked room, as Qin Fen’s eyes fell upon the people present in the inner courtyard, he could not help but remain still from shock.

Ge Bing, Qian Xueling, Caesar, Oliver…

The thirteen young men who had passed the preliminaries were now all quietly standing in the courtyard. Moreover, each and every one of them was showcasing a rich hostile and belligerent attitude!

That’s right, it was completely undisguised, almost naked fighting intent.

All ten people were showing a strong hostility to each other.

At this moment, a mocking intent immediately covered the faces of these people at the same time. They were using a kind of looking down on attitude to look at Qin Fen, like humans gazing at the insignificant ants crawling on the ground.

Qin Fen slightly raised his head and looked at the elder standing behind the ten people: Song Wendong’s personal butler, Butler Hou.

Not an ounce of kindness could be found on this elder’s face. His face was like that of the main examiner of the college entrance test.

Qin Fen made his way to Lin Liqiang’s side and asked in a low voice, “This is?”

Ling Liqiang also let out a powerless sigh as he raised his hand and patted Qin Fen’s shoulder. “Song Family’s Grandfather is already aware of your circumstances. He said that you don’t have the qualifications to marry his granddaughter. Therefore, whether you have passed Uncle Song’s test or not, the results are now completely invalid. He also said that too many people had passed the test and a bunch of people must be eliminated. So, he had decided to let the ten people fight with each other and eliminated the ones who lost…”

“Choosing groom through martial arts competition!? What era is this!?” Qin Fen furrowed his brow. Even if the other party was the Earth Martial God, this practice was still far too ancient.

Lin Liqiang shrugged his shoulder as grinned. “No can do, who told him to be the Earth Martial God!? If the Earth’s first martial arts family doesn’t choose its groom through martial arts contest, then do you want them to hold some beauty contest!?”

Facing Lin Liqiang’s retort, Qin Fen could only remain silent. As the saying goes, too many thoughts and desires would lead one’s heart astray. As he paid too much attention to Song Jia’s feelings, he forgot the identity of Song Wendong.

If the groom of Earth Martial God’s granddaughter wasn’t chosen by martial arts competition but rather much simpler methods like comparing one’s family, assets, beauty, then that would be truly strange.

Lin Liqiang heaved a sigh once again. “Buddy, it’s not that I want to persuade you into giving up, but…”

Qin Fen too raised his hand and patted Lin Liqiang’s shoulder, indicating he understood what the other party wanted to say.

“It’s all right! Since he is Earth Martial God, then, everything is fine.” A smiling Qin Fen took a step forward and said, “What I am truly afraid of is him using his status as Federation’s richest man to compare assets with me, then I truly would not have an ounce of opportunity.”

This step might look simple but it directly led him to the edges of those ten people’s energy fields. Those ten young martial artists reacted promptly. They looked at Qin Fen in confusion wondering what this man who had clearly lost the qualifications wanted to do?

“Everybody, I am sorry.” Suddenly, Qin Fen cupped his fists and turned his body left and right a bit. “Someone has canceled my qualification, so, I can only put you all in the hospital and let you all lose the qualifications.”

The ten young martial artists stared at Qin Fen like they were staring at a lunatic. Everyone was the scions of aristocratic families of other continents. Since childhood, they had laid a robust foundation of martial dao. Whether it was tonic or guiding the qi to open the acupoints, they got hold of it much earlier than their peers.

Such aspects might not make them powerful experts at their young age, but their robust foundation could indeed help them leave the others behind in their adulthood. In cultivation, they would advance much faster than their peers.

If they were placed in any part of the Federation, they would still remain young martial experts who could not be underestimated at all. Among their peers, not many people would dare to say that they could win against them in one on one.

One against ten!? Even a fool would not blurt out such a thing. Only someone who had gone completely insane would say such an outrageous thing.

That’s right! This guy must have really gone crazy.

No one paid any heed to Qin Fen’s words. The ten young men quickly focus their attention on the others beside them. No one had any idea as to how the drawing would pan out. Still, they could measure up the strengths and weaknesses of the others first.

Meanwhile, Qin Fen was already in Hong Quan’s basic stance. Once Qin Fen took the stance of such a fitness exercise, it was immediately disregarded by all the young martial artists.

Against the scions from various continents of the Earth, if not a lunatic, who would actually employ Hong Quan, this kind of fitness exercise?

At the sight of this, the corner of Butler Hou’s eyebrows rose as a smile that had never previously existed bloomed on his face. He smelled the whiff of a lion that was about to hunt.

Suddenly, Ge Bing’s eyebrows started twitching non-stop. He swept his gaze back to the previously ignored Qin Fen.

The moment his eyes met Qin Fen’s, Ge Bing felt as if he had fallen into a frozen lake!
