“Amazing….” One Sword Shocks the Gods drew in a cold breath. He had suffered quite a bit by Global War Encore’s sword net. If it were not for the fact that the treasured sword in his hands had a special function as well, he would have likely lost to Global War Encore. He never expected that today he would see someone fight empty handed with the fitness exercise of fist forms, advancing and retreating freely within the sword net.

Global War Encore became flustered as he saw Qin Fen continue to approach. His hands moved up and down like flying butterflies. His sword hand signs changed several times each second as his feet shifted back in retreat without end. He continued to maintain distance.

Global War Encore retreated quickly, but Qin Fen moved even faster. Qin Fen’s body faintly swayed as he faced the two swords, and the complete power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was infused into his two legs the moment he flickered past the two thunderous swords.

In the time it takes for spark to fly off a flint, the muscles of Qin Fen’s legs exploded in size. The muscular legs were now akin to inflated tires. They expanded by several factors in a single breath, causing the loose combat clothes to be stretched taut, as if countless cotton was stuffed inside. He broke through the sword net in the blink of an eye, and his legs moved as if they treaded upon the magical clouds of the highest of heavens. He charged toward Global War Encore at high speeds.

“Arhat Cloud Walk?” Glowing Child of the Wind’s eyes suddenly lit up. This was no Arhat Cloud Walk. Qin Fen was totally like a rain dragon ascending through the heavens!

A distance of ninety meters wasn’t exactly short, but Qin Fen’s explosive burst of strength made every foot step leave a deep imprint each time he made contact with the ground. And his combat clothes caused the air around him to scream through friction.

Global War Encore’s eyes bulged as wide as a cow’s. Even though he had ample experience in combat, he never expected that his opponent would suddenly fight so radically.

ROAR!

Global War Encore’s eyes bulged to their limits with this roar, and faint azure lightning surfaced around his body. Clearly, he had heightened his neo martial art to the limit. The two thunderous sword pierced through the air, flying back at maximum speed. The sound of broken air was akin to the rumbling thunder before a storm.

The fight instantly turned white-hot. Global War Encore didn’t even have the energy to retreat even if he wanted to. Qin Fen flickered through the two thunderous swords with the Dragon Guard and the Arhat Cloud Walk, moving like a hot knife through butter. The distance to Global War Encore was not even ten meters.

“BREAK!”

Lightning explosively flared around Global War Encore’s body, and the two thunderous swords struck out with their fastest blows one after another. Qin Fen spread his arms out, infusing the complete power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art into them. His arms were normally pretty muscular, but their muscles exploded in size once more in this instant. His fingers crackled as he displayed the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Double Piercing Palm!

The two thunderous swords were captured within Qin Fen’s hands, causing Global War Encore to have a super exaggerated grin on his face. There was actually someone who believed that they could grab onto his swords without any problems! Every thunderous sword had a different source of electric power. These two swords had their sources in their hilts, designed to specifically target experts who fought empty handedly and sought to grab these swords!

Azure lightning exploded within Qin Fen’s hands, and Global War Encore pulled back his body and bent his waist to launch an explosive Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Tiger Rise toward Qin Fen’s throat.

Using one’s style against them! Global War Encore planned to use the Shaolin Arhat Fist to defeat Qin Fen.

Discarding the sword! The throwing knives skill Qin Fen used to kill a hundred bandits within his trial by fire appeared once more. Global War Encore’s eyes flashed with disbelief as he watched a thunderous sword pierce his throat. He slowly faded away under the crowd’s eyes.

Qin Fen tossed away the other thunderous sword, revealing a faint smile. The electric power was indeed considerable, but it was merely the same in pain as when he cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art with the figure of light possessing him. It really wasn’t much. He had increased his palm’s defense power when he drew true energy into his hands. This counteracted a portion of the electricity. Plus, he had mentally prepared himself before he grabbed the swords. That was why he was able to ignore the threat of electricity.

The electric power of the Thunderous Swords of Yin and Yang were lacking in the end. Qin Fen did a secret calculation. If they were three-star Thunderous Swords of Yin and Yang, then he wouldn’t dare to catch the swords with his bare hands.

Practically the entire audience was flabbergasted. How in the world was this possible? Someone had actually ignored the effects of electricity. Could it be? Does Qin Fen’s hands possess a biochemical beast fighting state?

“Marvelous!” Glowing Child of the Wind’s applause rang in the air.

A hundred dollars was transfered into Qin Fen’s account, calming Qin Fen’s heart a bit. He had finally earned back some of the money he lost from the many days of deep sleep.

“Are you interested in fighting a round with me?” Glowing Child of the Wind slowly walked down from the spectator seats.

The combat field exploded in clamor the moment he said these words.

Every one of the top one-hundred powerful two-star warriors was extremely famous, and Glowing Child of the Wind was an extremely well known figure among them. He wielded a fist of five forms, the Five Animals Art. He was known to be the most exquisite user among two-star warriors.

Actually, Qin Fen was familiar with Glowing Child of the Wind. He was familiar with every one of the powerful top one hundred two-stars with true strength. These people’s fights were all once sources of his income.

Qin Fen was a bit excited to be able to fight hand-t-hand with the truly powerful of two-stars, but he still asked something out of habit. Something that made most people stupefied, “Is there money to be made fighting you?”

Glowing Child of the Wind couldn’t help being stunned as well. There were thousands upon thousands of people wishing to fight him on the Sky Martial Battle Network. Everyday, he needed help from the system to clear the challenge messages from his inbox.

With such an existence like Glowing Child issuing the challenge, the challenged should feel the greatest honor. Why in the world would Qin Fen talk about vulgar matters of money?

Qin Fen didn’t care how other people looked at him. He had slept for a long time, wasting a lot of work time. He needed to find a way to make back the money.

Regal Propria quickly walked to Glowing Child of the Wind’s side. He whispered quickly to Glowing Child of the Wind, informing him of Qin Fen’s consistent style.

A curious smile gradually grew on Glowing Child of the Wind’s face. So there was a young expert like this. It was quite surprising.

“Do you know the benefits of beating me?” Glowing Child of the Wind smiled gently.

Qin Fen nodded indifferently, “If I beat you, there will be a lot of people challenging me. I should be able to make a lot of money.”

“Then can’t you fight this one time for free?” Glowing Child of the Wind wasn’t lacking money, but he wanted to have a talk with such an interesting opponent. He wanted to gain a greater understanding of this opponent.

“You’re the one who wants to fight with me,” Qin Fen would never compromise to anybody when it came to money, except for his two friends, Enzo Rota and Lin Liqiang.

“All right,” Glowing Child of the Wind strode a step forward with his left leg. His right leg soon followed to advance half a step. He stood on his toes, his shoulder shook slightly, and he arrived in the center of the fighting arena in a few jumps.

The Five Animals Art: Soaring Bird!

Qin Fen opened his account channel and found that his opponent had already transfered money to him, regardless of winning or losing. He transfered the money to his personal account and said, “I will fight you seriously.”

“That’s all I ask for,” Glowing Child of the Wind began to bring up system records of all of Qin Fen’s fights on the battle network. He read them with great interest, not in a hurry to fight. Since he was going to fight against someone, he had to try to understand his opponent as much as possible.

Qin Fen already had a great understanding of Glowing Child of the Wind. He took advantage of this free time to speak toward the thousands of spectators around him. “Anyone interested in making a bet? Who will win between me and Glowing Child of the Wind? I’ll play house. The odds are one to one, and I’ll pay out. The maximum bet cannot exceed one dollar….”

The audience were all stunned. Wasn’t this a pitiful amount of money? Qin Fen could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, “This is because I don’t have that much money to pay out.”

The audience laughed. A fighter was acting as house, so this house wasn’t exactly fair. If everyone betted on Qin Fen to win, then the house just needed to throw the fight.

Everyone was silent for a while, but eventually people began betting. Of course, these people all bet money on Glowing Child of the Wind to win.
