Kapitel 20: The Thunderous Versus the Fitness Exercise
Redakteur: Nora
Area eleven, Arena eleven never really received much attention, but today it was far more lively than usual.
It wasn't easy to become famous in this global battle network. The player base was over ten billion, so there were all sorts of odd fights and all kinds of spectacular fights. It wasn't that attention-drawing for a Shaolin Arhat Fist user to win two fights.
People would rather watch the fights of top rankers and other high level experts over a fighter of the Shaolin Arhat Fist and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. Fierce scenes such as those weren't things that could happen in two-star fights.
The main reason that this fight drew a lot of attention was because it was likely interesting. It was being carried out in the free area. The audience was made up of people who liked free things, as well as....
"Glowing Child? So, even you came."
"One Sword, aren't you here as well?" The one who spoke was none other than Glowing Child of the Wind, the expert who had sent Qin Fen a message after seeing the video on the forums.
Though some two-star experts in real life didn't care for the rankings on the battle network, it was still an extremely difficult task to be able to enter the top hundred powerful two-stars in this global competition.
"Oh right, congrats." Glowing Child of the Wind, a warrior donned in gold, had his eyebrows shoot up, "You snatched this month's War God."
War God. This was a title on the Sky Martial Battle Network. Every month, a fighting arena was set up on each and every level. People had infinite lives here to engage in fights of mutual slaughter. There was a time limit of three hours. Each kill granted one an elimination point. Each death lost one an elimination point. Whoever had the most elimination points when time ran out would become the War God.
The system would then issue special lighting effects upon the winner—A body bound in lightning and thunder! At the same time, those who became this round's War God would receive considerable rewards.
Of course, taking part in the War God competition wasn't free. There was a ten dollar admission fee. For the sake of the title and the accompanying rewards, many people would choose to enter the competition. First place got the title War God, while second place got the title War Saint. It was a labyrinth of an arena, filled with chaotic warfare where people didn't necessary fight one-on-one. It really was a crazy battlefield where one could meet famous experts. And those famous experts would often find themselves surrounded and besieged by many. Therefore, there was always uncertainty as to who would obtain the title of War God.
"Luck. It was just luck," One Sword Shocks the Gods said modestly, but he was unable to conceal the delight on his face. He had seized the title War God in such chaotic circumstances. It really wasn't easy.
Glowing Child of the Wind smiled gently, no longer spiraling down the topic of War God. Instead, he watched Qin Fen within the arena with great interest. "I really want to exchange blows with him."
"Global War Encore isn't a weakling," One Sword Shocks the Gods's confidence was much greater than normal after seizing the title of War God. "Don't look at how his battle record doesn't rank him in the top one hundred. His strength is much stronger than those trash in the top one hundred who just grinded out the numbers. I fought him before. It was a narrow victory."
Qin Fen didn't have the time to observer the situation with the audience. He locked his complete attention onto Global War Encore's body. His body exuded a cold and sharp sword aura the moment he appeared, and the two thunderous swords revolved up and down around his body in a nimble dance. He was completely different from the people Qin Fen faced before. He was completely different from Regal Propria.
"Activating the anti-cheat device.... Both parties, please get ready...."
The anti-cheat device specifically suppressed one's strength for competition. It was a special item that activated when one suddenly exceeded the level of strength set for the fight, especially during critical moments of battle.
"Fight!"
The announcer's voice rang out, declaring the start of the fight, and Global War Encore instantly flew back in retreat. His two thunderous swords were truly akin to lightning beneath the night sky. They revolved and spun around his body at high speeds, covering his entire body tightly. He feared a sudden attack from Qin Fen.
Global War Encore had seen the recordings of Qin Fen's two fights and carefully analyzed them. He was very clear of Qin Fen's strong points. Qin Fen was extraordinarily strong in close physical combat.
His experience of over a thousand fights told him that the opponent before his eyes had a strength sufficient to enter into the top one-hundred of two-star warriors, even though his opponent only had two recorded fights.
Maintain distance, utilize the advantages of the thunderous swords, and eliminate the opponent!
In normal circumstances, Global War Encore would have fought a spectacular battle with Qin Fen, justly and honorably. But today was different! He had come to help out. He had come to help his friend reclaim his pride. He just needed to win, so it was okay to use the simplest method to do so.
Global War Encore already retreated a distance of a hundred meters, a relatively safe distance. He stopped retreating a looked at Qin Fen with a bit of bafflement. He really didn't understand why his opponent would let him easily pull away distance.
"The newcomer is going to lose," One Sword Shocks the Gods stretched his body. "He probably never fought a user of the Thunderous Swords of Yin and Yang. He's going to get the worst of it."
Glowing Child of the Wind's brow wrinkled into a frown as he wished to refute. However, he didn't know how to refute. In the arena, Global War Encore's Thunderous Swords of Yin and Yang was put to use in an utterly skillful manner. He truly was a troublesome opponent.
Qin Fen stood relaxed and loose as he adopted the rising stance of the Shaolin Arhat Fist, indicating that he would continue using what others saw as the fitness exercise of fist forms for this fight. The veins of his hands exploded forth, and the joints of his bones crisply crackled, indicating that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was rapidly circulating through his entire body.
The two sides stood quietly in opposition for a few seconds before Global War Encore was unable to take it. He had come to reclaim pride for his friend, and he wouldn't be able to seize victory by standing around.
"Soar for me!"
Global War Encore pointed with a sword hand sign, and a thunderous sword pierce through the sky away from him.
This sword was akin to a dragon in the night. The power with which it pierced the sky brought a screaming wind. Qin Fen didn't retreat. Instead, he advanced. With some spinning footwork, the thunderous sword to struck nothing but air before spinning around to go pierce Qin Fen's back.
The thunderous sword was named to be thunderous not only because its speed was akin to thunder, but because the sword blade itself carried some voltage. Even if an opponent had a technique to catch a blade with bare hands, the moment the opponent would make contact with the thunderous sword, the opponent would suffer from some free electrotherapy before feeling delight.
Victory and defeat was decided in an instant between experts. An electric shock would cause one's body to be paralyzed. Just a mere half a second of paralysis was enough for an opponent to snatch victory.
Qin Fen didn't have much experience fighting, but he had written many drafts on fights. He had encountered the thunderous sword before. He knew of its mechanisms, and he knew not to touch it. He continued to stride firmly ahead with spinning footwork. In the time it took to blink a few times, the distance of one hundred meters shrunk to ninety.
Global War Encore's brow furrowed tight. The other thunderous sword revolving around his body was sent piercing through the air. He had been too conservative just now, sending one sword to attack and leaving one sword to defend. Since one sword was unable to take his opponent's life, he could only use two swords.
The might of two swords far exceeded the might of a single sword. The two swords danced and entwined in the air, forming a net of light akin to a spider's web. Weaker martial artists were absolutely unable to tell what were the swords and what were light.
Within the net of light, Qin Fen continued to display the Dragon Guard. The thunderous swords were unable to touch even his clothes, as he continued to make quite the distance forward.
