Chapter 14: A Bizarre Art

Editor: Nora

"Please follow me in practicing the first stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art...." The figure of light's ordered mechanically once more.

"No way!" Qin Fen firmly refused the figure of light's order. Paleo martial arts was not something that could be casually cultivated. One mistake and the cultivator would die practicing. In such bizarre circumstances, God knows whether or not his subconscious mind had randomly invented a martial arts from wishing to become stronger.

Though Qin Fen only cultivated in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, he had seen other cultivation arts and methods. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art he saw the figure of light perform contained circulation channels similar to that of the Golden Bell Shield. There were also some parts that were similar to the circulation channel's of the Heavenly Birds Art evasion techniques.

Similar! They were merely similar! The more Qin Fen watched the less he dared to practice it. Shadows and traces of the government publicized free martial arts could be seen in this so-called Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, but there were indeed many differences.

He had seen these martial arts in every day life, and he had the egotistical idea to fuse these thirty free martial arts in one. Certainly it was because of this that tonight he dreamed such a crazy dream.

"The trained body refused to cultivate. Employing passive cultivation methods...."

Before Qin Fen could understand what were passive cultivation methods, the figure of light instantly dispersed into points of light before his eyes.

The points of light acted like locusts, instantly rushing into Qin Fen's body, rapidly amassing within.

"This...."

Qin Fen suddenly discovered that he had lost control of his body. The points of light on his body forcefully mobilized the force of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art within his body. The force followed the extremely complicated version of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, beginning the circulation for cultivation.

Resistance.... Failure.... Resistance again.... Failure again....

Qin Fen really was terrified now. He wanted to wake from this bizarre dream, but he had not even a hint of a means to wake up. No matter how he strove to control his jaw to bite down on his tongue, wishing to forcefully wake himself through pain, the result was merely hearing the figure of light's mechanical voice.

"This is the first step, forging the foundation. The host will not be able to awaken before this is complete. Please give up the meaningless actions."

Host? Damn it all! Qin Fen shrieked in his heart. He should have known to agree with Lin Liqiang's invitation and go have a free dinner. His friend would have been able to think of a way to help were he to faint in that situation.

"Please do not be distracted. The emotional fluctuations are too large, slowing the progress. There is a five percent chance that this will cause a failure in cultivation...." 

Failure? Qin Fen suddenly became filled with energy. He would be freed as long as the cultivation failed.

"Failure in cultivation will lead to a paralyzed body...."

Qin Fen couldn't hear what else the figure of light said, but just this alone was enough for him to shiver in his hands and feet and give up all resistance.

Resistance was assured death. He might not die from the bizarre Dragon Elephant Prajna Art if he doesn't resist. Might as well stake it all and resist no longer! Just follow and cultivate!

With his mind set, Qin Fen soon immersed himself in cultivation, following the figure of light's guidance....

"Speed of mental concentration is top-notch.... The calculated potential needs to be increased.... The host can be molded to be extremely strong...." The figure of light spoke once more in an analysis. Qin Fen, immersed in cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, didn't hear the figure of light's evaluation.

Circulate the energy.... Circulate the energy.... Execute the art.... Execute the art....

Qin Fen was completely immersed in cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. This art was much more complex than the original art. The challenges in training were much more difficult than the original version. The feeling was like using the body's power to slowly push an enormous stone forward.

But for some unknown reason, Qin Fen discovered that he was totally in love with this extremely difficult art since he beginning! And he instinctively believed that this was the true form of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

It was unknown just how many times slower it took Qin Fen to perform one cycle of circulation and execution compared to the figure of light.

Qin Fen woke up from his meditative state after performing one complete cycle. He suddenly discovered that his body was drenched with sweat, as if he had been fished up after being tossed in a lake.

Was this really a dream? Qin Fen had his doubts. Could someone feel this tired from exhaustion within a dream?

Please perform the second cycle of circulation and execution...."

"Second cycle?" Qin Fen watched the figure of light opposite of him with shock. Even though his willpower and fortitude was stronger than that of a normal person, there was still a limit for him. This single cycle left him with not even the strength to raise an arm, yet the figure of light wanted him to circulate and execute the second cycle.

"Fatigue is the best enhance, please do not waste it."

Qin Fen gave a light nod of his head; he agreed with this point. He tempered himself through these years by following such methods.

But he also knew when to stop before going too far. It was easy to overwork oneself and die when over practicing an art. It wasn't a good thing to be overly diligent.

"The cultivator has refused. Activating passive...."

"No, it's okay!" Qin Fen hurriedly said, the possessed state he was in just now made his body feel as if he were stabbed with hundreds of steel needles. It was something he didn't want to re-experience.

Unable to disobey the figure of light, Qin Fen could only comply and sit cross legged as he once again circulated and executed the bizarre Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

Outside the dream, the Qin Fen lying on the bed could be seen with the muscles of his entire body spasming. Sweat endlessly came pouring out from his pores, but there weren't any signs of dehydration at all.

The sun illuminated the earth once more, but Qin Fen, still lying on the bed, showed no signs of waking up.

"Okay, already! I've already circulated and executed three cycles! This is enough, right?"

Qin Fen lay in the empty space, feeling shocked himself. Originally, he believed that he was incapable of persevering through a second cycle, yet he was actually able to persevere through a third cycle.

Of course, all of this was done under the figure of light's coercion.

Qin Fen never believed himself to be a lazy person. Enzo Rota and Lin Liqiang shared the same feelings on this as well. Qin Fen was just like his name; he was extremely diligent.

But the degree of this diligence was tantamount to laziness of the figure of light's eyes. This point was very hard for Qin Fen to accept.

"Excellent. Cultivator, please execute the fourth cycle...." The figure of light sounded once more in a tone that would never change even in a thousand years.

Qin Fen was really mad now. He didn't know how long he had spent in this bizarre space, but extrapolating from how long each cycle took, he believed that it should be dawn by now.


Chapter 15: The Heart Sutra of Dreaming Sleep

Editor: Nora

Qin Fen was in the final spurt before taking the university entrance exams. He really didn't want to flunk the entrance exams. At the same time, he wanted to use classroom time to recover a bit of strength. He had lost a job, so he needed to find a new one as soon as possible. There was no time to waste.

"Let's do it next time. Let me go." Qin Fen put his hands on his knees to get up with great effort.

"Cultivator, please execute the fourth cycle of cultivating...."

This was the first time Qin Fen had the impulse to want to curse at someone. A proper sleep had turned into such a bizarre space. And there was certainly no friendly relations to be said with the figure of light in front of him, trapping someone without giving a care for their future life.

Battle intent bubbled forth from the bottom of his heart! Ever since Qin Fen swallowed the bizarre liquid metal, he felt his own desire to battle to be much stronger than it was before. Suppressing his battle intent became a more difficult task.

Leave? Only if you beat me when I'm in my first stage state. Or you can complete the three sections of the first part of training."

"Let me go!" Qin Fen raised his left leg then his right to close the gap in a mad dash before the figure of light. A palm struck toward the head of the figure of light.

Instead of dispersing apart, the figure of light's waist slid back half a step as it utilized the Dragon Guard of the Shaolin Arhat Fist, accurately dodging Qin Fen's palm. At the same time, it said, "The cultivator has autonomously launched a third attack, disrupting the training process. Issuing punishment now."

Qin Fen completely ignored the figure of light's warning. The palm struck nothing but air, and Qin Fen raised his left hand to follow up with a chop. He didn't give the figure of light a moment to fight back, striking out immediately after recovering his palm from the first strike.

Shaolin Arhat Fist's Triple Palm Strike!

"The Arhat Carries Swords...."

The figure of light's voice rang out, and it was as if Qin Fen's chest had been struck by a heavy hammer. His entire body flew back, heavily smashing through the empty void.

Qin Fen laid there in the empty space, his mind a daze. He had been defeated, and this possibility had run through his mind. His opponent looked to possess considerable strength, after all. However, he never expected to be defeated just by his opponent yelling out the name of its attack. He thought such a thing to be impossible.

They were both techniques of the Shaolin Arhat Fist! Most people believed this martial art to be the fitness exercise of fist forms, but Qin Fen was confident that, out of all the two-star warriors, he was the one who appreciated its essence the most. Yet, today he had been defeated by a mere figure of light.

"Please carry out the first stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. This will be your fourth cycle in training...."

Qin Fen stayed in a daze, lying in the air, for two seconds before staggering back up again. He consciously chose to enter meditation. It wasn't that he was scared of the figure of light, it was just that figure of light's strike made him realize that he was being a bit arrogant.

He had looked down on others in the past for not being able to predict the results of battles. He had been like the others just now, when he was in the middle of one. If he couldn't leave this place, then he might as well train! Train until he could leave!

Men all have a competitive fighting spirit, and Qin Fen was no exception. This was especially true after he experienced the few fights in recent times. His fighting spirit, half buried from the busyness of life, awakened once more.

"Please carry out a fifth cycle...."

This time Qin Fen didn't resist or hesitate at all. He already decided to join the military, so he might as well do some special training beforehand! As for the entrance exams? Qin Fen was confident that as long as he could wake up in time for the test, he would be able to pass it. He just wouldn't be able to place in one of the top positions is all.

"Twenty cycles of the second stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art has been completed." The figure of light's rigid voice reverberated in the bizarre dark space, "Congratulations on completing the second section of the first part of training. Please calm your breathing as you prepare to carry out the third section of the first part of training."

Qin Fen let out a long breath, and his eyes opened with an unprecedentedly explosive light.

He probably already spent at least a week in this bizarre space. This damnable figure of light had no intentions of letting him go.

Qin Fen wasn't worried about being expelled from school for missing classes. He had his friend Lin Liqiang, who would certainly help cover him and come up with the most rational of reasons for his leave of absence.

Right now he needed to focus on adjusting his state, so he could receive the last section of training. Then he could live this bizarre place! Qin Fen closed his eyes once more before slowly standing up. He completely relied on his martial artist perception to relax his body.

"He seems to be calming himself."

Two boys and a girl surrounded the bed within Qin Fen's little room. They attentively observed his current state.

Lin Liqiang was the one who spoke. He had felt something was wrong the first day when Qin Fen didn't attend class. He immediately fabricated an excuse for his friend's leave of absence, and he simply slipped out of class to go to Qin Fen's residence.

Although Qin Fen had never told anyone where he lived, finding out the location of a friend's residence was simply a trifling matter for someone of Lin Liqiang's identity.

He normally didn't look into his friends, but there was likely something going on, making it necessary to spend some energy to investigate.

By the time Lin Liqiang arrived at Qin Fen's room, he discovered that Enzo Rota got there a step earlier.

Enzo Rota probably had an extraordinary background as well! This thought had instantly ran through Lin Liqiang's mind before he immediately came to Qin Fen's side.

Lin Liqiang was completely uninterested in Enzo Rota's identity. There was no need to ask about this stuff among friends. He would talk about it when he wanted to.

As Lin Liqiang stepped a foot into the room, Song Jia stepped into Qin Fen's residence as well.

"Cultivating." Enzo Rota spoke simply, something Song Jia was still not used to. She turned to look at Lin Liqiang for help.

"Old Enz is saying that Old Enz seems to be cultivating. We shouldn't move him nor touch him. Otherwise, it will probably be dangerous for Old Qin."

After listening to Lin Liqiang's explanation, Song Jia had a bit of a sudden admiration toward Lin Liqiang and Qin Fen. They were actually able to completely understand a weirdo like Enzo Rota. It was quite amazing.

Seven days passed with the three people guarding Qin Fen at his bed, thanks to the help of Lin Liqiang super powerful leave of absence skills.

Song Jia endlessly speculated over Qin Fen for these seven days. She speculated what sort of martial art he was cultivating that could make him sleep for seven days without need for food nor water.

The Heart Sutra of Dreaming Sleep? Impossible! Song Jia soon rejected this guess. She had looked into all of Qin Fen's information in the past few days.

Qin Fen. Born on Earth. Grew up on Earth. Never left Earth. Only has a brother for family, who suddenly disappeared five years ago. No one knew where he went.

It was impossible for such a person to get in contact with the number one expert of Mercury and learn the apex-level divine art, The Heart Sutra of Dreaming Sleep.

What divine arts were there where one cultivated in their sleep, other than the rumored Heart Sutra of Dreaming Sleep? Song Jia thought so hard that her head hurt, yet she was still unable to think of any.
