Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Great Success of the Profound Turtle and Spiritual Serpent
He was a young man of extraordinary bearing, his aura immensely powerful. He was at the Peak of the Martial Arts Sixth Realm, just one step away from connecting to the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, achieving a Reverse Inborn state, and entering the Innate Realm.
From the way some in the crowd addressed him, Qin Feng learned that his name was Xue Ning. He was an extremely conceited and aggressive genius among the current students of All Stars Academy—and quite famous.
Several hundred students stood in the clearing, and their attention shifted along with Xue Ning’s challenge. Curious gazes fell upon Qin Feng, who was dressed all in black.
Influenced by preconceived notions, many of them couldn’t help but conjure the image of a cruel, malicious, and vengeful young man who would retaliate over the smallest grievance.
CRACK! CRACK!
Qin Feng stood up, the bones in his body letting out a series of cracks and pops. He tilted his head to look at Xue Ning and rubbed his aching hands.
"So, you want to stand up for her? Your cultivation at the Peak of the Martial Arts Sixth Realm gives you some right to be confident. But against an idiot like you, so infatuated you can’t think straight? I could break your legs without even moving!" Qin Feng had no patience for so-called geniuses blinded by a pretty face. His tone was as dismissive as if he were swatting away a fly.
"You ignorant little beast, you’ve got a big mouth. Fine. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on how to conduct yourself!" Xue Ning stood proudly with his hands clasped behind his back, his voice utterly frigid.
A flash of savage killing intent crossed his eyes. The next moment, Xue Ning’s figure blurred into motion, transforming into a violent gust as he lunged forward with a sweeping kick.
A torrent of afterimages from his kicks blotted out the sky, descending on Qin Feng like a rolling thunderstorm. Within the barrage, dangerous arcs of azure lightning crackled through the air.
SIZZLE! The electricity tore through the air like a sudden thunderclap. Xue Ning had actually managed to channel a sliver of the Power of Heaven and Earth Thunder!
This was an ability exclusive to the Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven! Xue Ning already had one foot in the Innate Realm. With just a little more time, he was certain to successfully break through!
From a distance, the expressions of several youths who were at the Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven changed. A flicker of apprehension crossed their eyes. Even they would have trouble dealing with such a terrifying Leg Technique.
A smug look appeared in Xue Ning’s eyes as he charged, unable to conceal a vicious sneer.
As the blindingly fast kick approached, Qin Feng felt a twinge of danger and frowned. ’This Xue Ning actually has a Thunder Attribute constitution, just like I did in my past life.’
The Thunder Attribute was one of the Mutated Attributes with the most potent offensive power. After breaking through to the Innate Realm, a cultivator could channel a sliver of the Power of Heaven and Earth Thunder, granting them immense destructive force!
"You want to teach me a lesson? I’ll teach *you* one first!" Qin Feng sneered. His body shot forward like a cannonball, not retreating but advancing, crashing directly into the maelstrom of kicks!
In his past life, he had been a Half-step Thunder Demon God. He was the progenitor when it came to wielding the thunder of heaven and earth!
"You brought this on yourself!" A cruel excitement flashed in Xue Ning’s eyes as he saw Qin Feng charge forward. ’He’s lost his mind! He’s actually trying to face my Ultimate Skill, the Wind Thunder Linked Legs, head-on. He’s courting death! My kicks are infused with a trace of the most explosive force in existence—the power of thunder!’
"Haha!" At the thought of seeing Qin Feng kicked aside like a dead dog, Xue Ning couldn’t suppress a gleeful smile.
But in the next instant, the smile on Xue Ning’s face froze solid.
BANG! It was like he had kicked an iron plate!
CRACK! The sickening sound of a bone snapping echoed.
"AHHH!" Xue Ning let out a bloodcurdling shriek. The intense pain sent him collapsing to the ground, clutching his leg and screaming in agony.
BOOM! Qin Feng was thrown back several steps, his body like a rampaging beast, gouging deep tracks in the earth. But what made the onlookers’ eyes bulge was the fact that Qin Feng was completely unharmed!
The scene was absolutely stunning.
A Martial Artist at the Peak of the Martial Arts Sixth Realm had used his strongest technique against a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Martial Arts Fourth Layer Heaven. Not only had he failed to injure his opponent, but he had broken his own leg in the process!
"What happened to Xue Ning? Isn’t he supposed to be the strongest expert below the Innate Realm? Has he been fooling around with too many women? Did all the debauchery turn him into a weakling?" Some watched the scene unfold in disbelief, their jaws practically on the floor.
"What kind of special Body Refining Technique does that Qin Feng practice? His body is terrifying! He took such a powerful kick without a scratch and even reflected the force to break Xue Ning’s leg!" A more perceptive genius had noticed the faint green light that flashed across Qin Feng’s body.
"What a freakish body!" In the shadows, a few experts from All Stars Academy exchanged looks of astonishment.
"Poor Young Master Xue! Look, he’s crying from the pain. I heard the bone snap... even the sound was sickening!"
"Xue Ning really shot himself in the foot. He wanted to flex for that little ice queen, and now he’s ended up crippling himself!"
"He failed so badly at showing off. Of all the things to flaunt in front of a girl, why his muscles? Now he’s crippled. I bet he’ll have to give up on the All Stars Academy trials and spend the next few years as an Indentured Servant!"
"An Indentured Servant... How humiliating!"
...
In the crowd, Guan Ruo Lin’s face flushed red, then drained of color. Listening to the whispers all around her, she was filled with rage.
’Damn, that hurt. I got careless.’ freёwebnovel.com
Though Qin Feng stood by with a blank expression, his arms were actually numb and his entire skeleton ached. A few days ago, he had unexpectedly mastered the Profound Turtle Sea-Suppressing Fist to the level of Great Success, making his defense as peerless as a turtle’s shell. Even so, he found the impact hard to bear.
The Innate Primordial Qi circulated through his meridians, and the aching gradually subsided.
The Xuanwu Yin Yang Dao was a True Martial Level Boxing Technique composed of two styles: the Profound Turtle Sea-Suppressing Fist and the Spiritual Snake Demon-Subduing Fist. Previously, Qin Feng had only managed to master the Spiritual Snake Demon-Subduing Fist to the Great Success level. Because his innate disposition didn’t align with the Profound Turtle, his progress with the Profound Turtle Sea-Suppressing Fist had been extremely slow, only reaching Minor Achievement. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Only a few days ago had he finally brought it to the level of Great Success.
Once the Profound Turtle Sea-Suppressing Fist reached Great Success, it made Qin Feng like a human-shaped Profound Turtle, granting him terrifying defensive power. The Hidden Force it generated was like a perfect seal, akin to the Yin Yang Bagua, and even possessed the ability to reflect force back at an attacker.
This small test of his ability had given Qin Feng a pleasant surprise.
As the Innate Primordial Qi slowly soothed the ache in his meridians, Qin Feng estimated that at his current level, only a powerhouse who had advanced to the Innate Realm could break through the Hidden Force of his Great Success Profound Turtle Sea-Suppressing Fist and actually injure him.
Xue Ning’s face was crimson with shame and fury. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he struggled to his feet without a word and limped away, supported by a few of his loyal followers. Just before he left, he shot Qin Feng a look of venomous, bone-deep hatred.
Guan Ruo Lin left as well. With the backer she relied upon having collapsed, her face burned with humiliation. Before she departed, she turned to give Qin Feng one last, cold glare, her hatred almost palpable.
Qin Feng’s eyes turned cold as ice. If he didn’t know that experts from All Stars Academy were watching from the shadows and forbidding any Slaughter, he would have already killed them both.
He watched Guan Ruo Lin’s departing figure. At fifteen or sixteen, she was a young woman in the flower of her youth, her body just beginning to blossom. With her stunningly cold and beautiful face, cloud-like black hair, and graceful figure, it was no wonder many of the young men watched her with captivated eyes.
Qin Feng couldn’t help but be reminded of the mature, enchanting beauty of Xu Ya.
As one of the ten great beauties of the Great Yan Kingdom, Xu Ya’s looks and charm were far beyond what some young, inexperienced girl could ever hope to match. Qin Feng had personally witnessed Xu Ya’s flawless body—a figure so perfect that to add or subtract even a fraction would mar it. She was truly a masterpiece of Creation, blessed by the heavens.
’Once I enter the Snowfield, I have to take care of this problem for good.’
