Chapter 180: Rising up Again a Second Level

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

It was impossible for Qin Fen to figure out what the God-Demon Body was, so he was in no rush to figure that out. He placed his attention back to trying to figure out what sort of changes occurred after the biochemical beast egg engaged in a level one fusion with his body.

With the fusion state already completely begun, Qin Fen had immediately felt an instant indescribable increase in all the body’s functions, including the sense of smell, the sense of sight, and the sense of hearing. The surges of power were far greater, by who knows how many times, than when he just entered the five-star level.

Without pressuring his true energy, without needing to explode forth the power within his body, Qin Fen was able to unleash the Raging Berserker Tide. Without the preparations he needed to make in the past, with just the mere shake of his shoulders, he could unleash it.

With a gentle assemble form being struck out, though Qin Fen didn’t utilize all his strength, the paper on the bed, which had been placed there, was listed by the winds generated by Qin Fen’s palms into a chaotic mess.

Qin Fen clenched his two hands tight into fists. The power that was fed back to his body gave him excitement and a stir of emotion in his heart that was indescribable.

He had used the Raging Berserker Tide with mere casualness, and its might was more formidable than when he normally used the Raging Berserker Tide with the turbine pressurization included.

If he were to unleash the Raging Berserker Tide with all his strength, what sort of destruction could he create? The excitement that Qin Fen felt right now could not be matched. Not a single day of the two weeks the training he had on Happy Paradise Island could match even one percent of the gains he made today.

“With my current strength, I shouldn’t lose even if I’m facing a six-star level expert.” Qin Fen furrowed his brow, earnestly reflecting for a moment. “As for the seven-star level… I will need to fight one to find out.”

Qin Fen gently struck out with the Arhat Fist, which he was so familiar with that he could not be even more familiar. This was to settle the excitement within his heart.

The case of rising from the four-star level to five-star level was fundamentally the crossing of the chasm into the meteor level. However, it was possible for Qin Fen to make another breakthrough from the five-star level. His two breakthroughs to the five-star level caused Qin Fen to stand at the peak of the five-star level upon entering this level. If he found the time to consolidate a little, it was possible for Qin Fen to directly breakthrough from the five-star level to the six-star level in a short amount of time.

With the increase in strength and ability brought by the level one fusion of the biochemical beast, it could be said that Qin Fen had risen two-star levels in a single day, and an additional half a star level.

For a martial artist, being able to rise one-star level was already a matter worthy of extreme celebration. This was especially true when crossing the divide at a young age, and entering the realm of the meteor level. Such a thing made one the target of extreme envy.

As for rising two-star levels in a single day? Such speed would probably be so shameful for the other martial artists that they would kill themselves.

Were not for Qin Fen’s current restrictions and circumstance, Qin Fen would really much like to pay Drill Instructor Butcher and Squad Leader Hao a visit to give them a pleasant surprise.

Du Hen didn’t summon Qin Fen for the next three days, nor did he let Qin Fen leave the room. Even more so, Du Hem didn’t let Qin Fen have any contact with the outside world.

Qin Fen, with nothing to do, could only continue cultivating his Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. He strove to perceive the phenomenon of bumps and unevenness with the meridian channels within his body. He wanted to reinforce his degree of control over true energy.

On the morning of the fourth day, Qin Fen received two pieces of information from a servant’s mouth.

Du Zhanpeng had been officially confirmed by the government to have sacrificed his life for the Federation, for attempts of his rescue had been in vain. The Du Family was to give a funeral service today at noon.

“If you have the time, and you want to send Du Zhanpeng his last regards, you can also come.”

The servant conveyed Du Hen’s original words to Qin Fen.

There was a secondary matter. Du Peng already woke up at the Number One Military Hospital of Zhongzhou. The Du Family wouldn’t stop Qin Fen from seeking to visit him.

Qin Fen walked out of the room which he was placed under house arrest for three days. He then saw Xing Wuyi, who had been placed under house arrest for three days as well, not too far away in the distance.

Compared to Qin Fen’s mental states, Xing Wuyi’s mood was always at an extreme low for these past three days. Aside from training in martial arts, Xing Wuyi looked through the notes that Du Zhanpeng left behind.

Their eyes met, and two people subconsciously nodded their heads. They walked together out of the Du Family’s main entrance.

Standing at the street, Qin Fen suddenly felt a bit lost.

Shengjing, Zhongzhou. This was an economic, political, and cultural center of Asia. Qin Fen only knew of this place when he learned geography. He had never truly stepped into this ancient city of thousands of years.

“This place is called Houhai.” Xing Wuyi looked up, gazing into the sky. “Where you want to go?”

Houhai? Qin Fen stared blankly at his surroundings. So this was the Houhai where its land was known to be worth more than gold?

“Let’s first go see Du Peng. There are things that I feel like he needs to know.” Qin Fen’s words carried a bit of sadness. “Then let’s go see Du Zhanpeng….”

“I see.” Xing Wuyi patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. “Then you should just come with me. I’ve also planned to do the same. There are some things that I need to help Zhanpeng handle.”

The Number One Military Hospital of Zhongzhou wasn’t hard to find. The two arrived at the Second North Ring, where they hailed a taxi. Soon they arrived at the Number One Military Hospital of Zhongzhou, whose real estate was enormous.

Du Peng’s room was a single patient room. Of course, the money for this room hadn’t come from the Du Family, but from the military.

Du Peng was lying in his bed, eyes closed and resting. He only opened his eyes when he heard the door open. When he saw Qin Fen, he gently nodded his head.

As for Xing Wuyi, it was as if Du Peng hadn’t seen him at all.

Du Peng’s body had yet to recover; a gunshot had nearly struck his heart, and he had taken a palm from Du Zhanpeng on his back. Du Peng’s complexion and lips were both a bit pale. However, he appeared to be much better mentally.

Qin Fen sat at the nursing bed and whispered, “How do you feel?”

Du Peng gave a very loathsome glance at Xing Wuyi. His tone was frigid as he said, “My fate is good. I still live after being struck by a sneak attack.”

Xing Wuyi didn’t say a word. He just looked at the red metal box in his hands, as if he hadn’t heard Du Peng’s mockery at all.

….

Qin Fen grew silent as well. He’s thought for several minutes before saying, “What about your true energy? There hasn’t been a setback with it, right?”

“True energy?” Pride emerged on Du Peng’s face. “I just escaped from calamity. It looks like I profited from a disaster. I don’t know why, but it seems that there’s been a fundamental change with the true energy in my body. I clearly suffered heavy injuries, but I increased in star level.”

Having spoken to this point, Du Peng cast yet another gaze of bitter resentment at Xing Wuyi. His words carried a provocative tone as he said, “Wait until my body recovers, when the master’s lackey loses….”

Xing Wuyi slowly lifted his head. There wasn’t a hint of fury in his eyes. Grief was all there was. Aside from grief were tears that jiggled within the rim of his eyes. These tears could come flowing out at any moment.

Du Peng was slightly stunned for a moment. He had never seen Xing Wuyi look like this. From his perspective, Xing Wuyi had come here not to visit a sick patient with good intentions, but to demonstrate and convey a threat from Du Zhanpeng.

For the sake of striving for achievements on the battlefield, one’s own comrades were inflicted heavy injuries. As such news were to get out, there would be no benefits for Du Zhanpeng.

“What’s wrong? Have you come here to repent?” Du Peng smiled coldly. “Du Zhanpeng knew that he rushed into disaster himself, has he dispatched you to play the sympathy card? Relax. I am not that contemptible. I won’t let anybody else know about how he launched a sneak attack on me. I will defeat him fair and square….”

Xing Wuyi could no longer control his tears any longer. They endlessly flowed out from his eyes. He squeezed the red metal box in his hands very tightly. This was the birthday gift that Du Zhanpeng wanted to give to Du Peng.

Though the man had already died, Xing Wuyi knew that Du Zhanpeng would certainly not permit him to speak the truth.

“What you say is right. I have come to negotiate.” Xing Wuyi’s lips strove to squeeze together into its usual arrogance line. He took the red box in his hand and tossed it before Du Peng, like tossing a piece of trash. “Young Master Du said that this is your hush money.”

Du Peng’s thumb and index finger pinched the red metal box. He turned left and right as he observed it. His eyes were completely filled with ridicule. “What is this?”

“Biochemical beast.” Xing Wuyi stood up. He used the gaze of one towering from above to look at Du Peng. “If you are afraid of death, you can always not accept it.”

“Afraid of death?”

Du Peng opened the red metal box, and a biochemical beast egg, blooming with red light, was lying inside. A strand of understanding flashed within his skeptical eyes.

“This was Du Zhanpeng’s idea, right?”

“What?” Xing Wuyi was stunned.

“I said, this was Du Zhanpeng’s idea, right?” Du Peng turned the metal box. “He wants to use a biochemical beast egg to kill me? He believes that I won’t be able to make it through the fusion process with the biochemical beast, so he wants to kill me this way, right?”

Xing Wuyi strove to maintain the sneer on his lips. “Yeah, I even made a bet with Young Master Du. I bet that you wouldn’t dare to leave behind this biochemical beast egg. Also, bet that you wouldn’t dare to use it. In the end, Young Master Du feels the same, so the bet was never made between us.”

“You can get the hell out.” Du Peng gently waved his hand. “Go back and tell your master that I, Du Peng, accept this thing.”

“Okay, great. I will carry these words.” Xing Wuyi turned around and began to walk out of the room. “Qin Fen, I will wait outside the door for you. I’ll take you for a stroll down Shengjing in a bit.”

The room returned to its peaceful calm once more. Du Peng still turned the metal box around in observation. His eyes were completely filled with ice-cold ridicule. “Does Du Zhanpeng really think I am a pig? Giving me this thing to provoke me. Does he really believe that I will fuse what’s this biochemical beast egg? Does he want to kill me to prevent me from spilling the beans? Wait until I recover, and I won’t need the biochemical beast egg, I’ll be able to eat him.”

He casually tossed the metal box at the desk by the bed. Du Peng revealed a smile to Qin Fen once again. “You didn’t bring any fruit, even though you came to see me?”

Qin Fen didn’t respond to Du Peng’s joke. He stared blankly at the biochemical beast egg, which Du Peng had tossed to the table as of tossing a piece of trash.

The scene of Du Zhanpeng leaving this world appeared once more before Qin Fen’s eyes.

Du Zhanpeng was Du Peng’s older brother, after all! Though he died, he still thought of his own little brother.

“What is wrong?” Du Peng could feel that there was something off about Qin Fen’s mood.

Qin Fen slowly raised his head to look at Du Peng. Complicated emotions throbbed endlessly within his eyes. It took a while before Qin Fen slowly said, “Du Zhanpeng has died….”

A shock ran through Du Peng’s body. He, who had been half laying in bed, suddenly sat up straight. He stared at Qin Fen in a daze.

“What did you say? Du Zhanpeng died?”

“He died.” Qin Fen slowly said, “On that day when we carried out the mission, he died.”

“How is this possible?” Du Peng’s gaze shifted to the biochemical beast egg at the table. “This….”

“This should just be a gift from him.” Qin Fen slowly nodded, his tone downcast, as he said, “It is just that this should have been prepared before he died, right?”

“What are you saying?” Du Peng didn’t dare to believe his own ears. “He prepared a biochemical beast egg before he died? Could it be, that he felt that I was a threat to him, so he actually prepared this ahead of time?”

Qin Fen could only gently shake his head. He didn’t answer Du Zhanpeng’s question. Instead, he talked to himself aloud. “Let me tell you a story.”
