This look in his eyes!? Lee Yong Jun's numb body instinctively shuddered as his eyes quickly looked away and he shouted, "I lost."
Even in an underground fight, the duel would come to an end if one side admitted defeat. Let alone an "as you wish" level of fight.
Qin Fen secretly marveled in his heart. This guy is not only ruthless but is also quick-witted. He analyzed the situation in the blink of an eye and took the initiative to admit defeat. He knows as long as there are green hills, he doesn't need to worry about fire. Unlike Liang Tao, he is far more clever. If he is allowed to retaliate, I'm afraid he will pose more danger than Liang Tao.
The coaches were rather taken aback by Lee Yong Jun's initiative to throw in the towel. Last time, when he fought with King of Wrestling - Lee Yong Jun, didn't throw in the towel even when he was beaten to the point where even his mother could not recognize him. He gritted his teeth and bore it. He never admits defeat. What is going on today? Why is he throwing in the towel just after one punch?
The two members who were learning neo taekwondo from Lee Yong Jun rushed forward to help Lee Yong Jun.
Qin Fen slightly furrowed his brow. Lee Yong Jun's arm was broken in several places. When he was helped up, his broken arm swayed like a clapper of an ancient bell; it was swaying left and right in an uncontrolled manner. But to Qin Fen's surprise, the resulting pain only made his lips twitch a few times. A man with this kind of forbearance was as dangerous as a poisonous snake hiding in the grass.
I need to think of a way to kill him! He is much more dangerous than Liang Tao! The corner of Qin Fen's eyebrow twitched before turning his gaze to a two-meter tall, tower-like fellow.
A pair of leaf-fan sized palms steadily and forcefully clapped together as rhythmic claps slowly echoed in the hall.
Clap, clap, clap...
This guy had the least number of members by his side. There were only less than ten, but Qin Fen could sense that this guy was the strongest among all the coaches in the hall!
*King of Wrestling - Hubert! *The faces of all the coaches changed in unison. Among the nine-star level coaches, he was by far the strongest, stronger than Lee Yong Jun. He had already trained Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians to its peak! That day he fought with Lee Yong Jun, Lee Yong Jun's kicks and punches only made loud clangs, like he was striking a steel plate. Lee Yong Jun was unable to cause any damage to him, whatsoever.
"Kid, I don't like Lee Yong Jun." Everyone gave way to Hubert one after another while listening to him."So, I won't avenge him. However, judging by your kicks and punches, I really want to have a spar with you."
Qin Fen sized up Hubert. His tall height did not affect the stability of his lower body in the slightest bit. His arms swayed in a vigorous manner; there weren't any stiffness in his muscles, only smoothness. His gait was filled with an endless aura of righteousness! Is there such a martial artist in Pegasus Fitness Club!?
Lee Yong Jun raised his left arm, which was no longer numb, and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. A cold smile hung on his lips. Qin Fen, no matter how stable and powerful your nine-star level is, you are no match for Hubert. He is a strange technique user among the nine-star martial artists
Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians was an exercise that had a total of thirteen levels. Only when it has been practiced to its ultimate peak could one reach the nine-star level. That was the reason why many martial artists did not choose it when they chose an art to practice.
Although when the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians was practiced to its peak, it could only reach the nine-star level. It was even more difficult to practice than any other neo or paleo martial arts like Iron Mantle, Diamond Body of Earth, Steel War Body, and so on. The kind of bodily torture associated with it made countless people give up this less expensive martial art.
However, if there were disadvantages in this world, there were advantages as well. When any martial art was practiced to the final level and taken it to its peak was the time it showed its true power.
Hubert, this middle-aged man who was thirty years old, had practiced the last level of the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians last year. It was also the most arduous level to practice. He had to stake his life to practice it!
The power of a complete Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians was far from the power of its twelfth level. Although he was already a nine-star martial artist when he practiced to the twelfth level, the moment he practiced the thirteenth level, Lee Yong Jun knew that perhaps it would be extremely difficult for someone in the nine-star level to defeat him!
Other martial arts coaches had also not forgotten that Lee Yong Jun's attacks, which were strong enough to smash hard rocks into powder and leave dents on a steel plate, were no different than mosquito bites against Hubert.
Lee Yong Jun had also not forgotten when his kicks and punches landed on Hubert, it was like bombarding on the hull of an aircraft carrier. He was not even able to shake him, not in the slightest. Instead, he was knocked down by the other side's wrestling skills, lying on the ground unconsciously.
Finally, because Lee Yong Jun refused to admit defeat, the good-tempered Hubert was forced to give up his wrestling skills and use the final trick up his sleeve, Jade Breaking Fists of Shattering the Earth and Shocking the Heavens, which broke through a reinforced concrete pillar in the hall... and thus, ending that spar.
The King of Wrestling doesn't just know wrestling! Lee Yong Jun looked at Qin Fen. He didn't expect that even without looking for his Second Uncle for help, this young lieutenant colonel was already out of luck.
"Alright!"
Qin Fen took a stance but he didn't forget to take a glance through the corner of his eye at Lee Yong Jun, this sinister guy who was as dangerous as a scorpion. He couldn't give him any chance to use his poisonous stinger.
Hubert looked at Qin Fen with a laugh as his left and right feet jumped up and down with his shoulders. In the blink of an eye, his body was creating a special tempo.
Manager Hua drew in a breath of cold air through the gaps of his teeth. There was not too big of a gap between Hubert and Lee Yong Jun. He could still recall that crazy scene vividly where Hubert broke the reinforced concrete pillar in that spar whenever he closed his eyes.
The martial arts coaches were even more interested. Qin Fen had just defeated Lee Yong Jun with just one punch. Whereas Hubert had beaten Lee Yong Jun black and blue to the point that not even his mother could recognize him with just flip of a hand.
The bell to start the match rang just as both sides took their stances.
Just as the bell rang, Hubert's figure began to sway constantly around Qin Fen, as if a cute burly bear was doing a hula dance.
Qin Fen was quietly excited in his heart. He has seen a lot of wrestling techniques but this would be the first time he would be truly taking part in wrestling. Although nine out of ten fights were wrestling, he had never truly wrestled with anyone.
Hubert's bear dance continued for two laps around Qin Fen before a sly smile appeared on his lips as he fiercely slammed his huge feet on the tatami. As a result, even the spectators who were sitting in the distance felt the ground underneath them shake.
The tatami underneath Hubert's feet was like as if a landmine had exploded. The hard and somewhat elastic tatami was scrapped under his stamp. A small whirl like a cyclone with his feet as the center had appeared on the ruined tatami.
Some of the martial arts coaches lightly exclaimed, covering their mouths. This in-step of Hubert was no longer an ordinary advance. The moment his ankle rotated with strong rotational power, a rotation burst of energy could be said to be released.
Immediately after, his stocky body moved faster than a bear. He stretched his thick arms in the air as they suddenly swelled, becoming even thicker than Qin Fen's thigh.
You want to compete in power with me!? Qin Fen lowered his horse waist as he stretched his palms directly towards Hubert's to welcome them.
*Has he gone crazy? He wants to wrestle with King of Wrestling!? *Several martial arts coaches screamed in their hearts. Can't you even see the difference in your body sizes!?
Lee Yong Jun let out a cold snort in a more timely manner. The Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians isn't just about tempering the body so that it can not be pierced by any blade or spear. When it's been practiced to the last level, the user will have his strength suddenly increased by a lot. Grabbing someone will be as simple as grabbing a chicken by its neck! And you want to compete with King of Wrestling in strength!? You are getting too overconfident!
BANG! BANG!
As the arms of two clasped with each other, Qin Fen suddenly felt a great deal of strength raiding his arm. The tatami underneath his feet creaked under the pressure from the clash, finally flattening to the thickness of a paper.
"Throw him down!" Lee Yong Jun couldn't suppress the excitement and hatred in his heart. His high-pitched voice broke the silence of the ring, "Knock him dead!"
Hubert's shoulders shook as the force from perfect unison of his waist and legs emerge from underneath his feet as he used it lift Qin Fen's arms up!
Well!
Hubert's eyes flickered with a sliver of surprise. What's going on? In the past, the opponent's feet would have already left the ground with this move. Why is there no response today? Has he also practiced Thousand Pound Drop? You aren't afraid because you have practiced Thousand Pound Drop, huh!
Hubert was only surprised for a short time. Immediately after, he circulated his true energy in his body as thick blue veins popped out on his thick arms as if black dragons were around his arms.
Again!
Nonetheless, Qin Fen remained still...
A scary thought flashed in Hubert's mind. After I had practiced the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians to the peak of culmination, I had enough strength to lift one and a half tons! Even if he has practiced Thousand Pound Drop, that's just only five hundred kg, how can he resist me?'
I don't believe it! Hubert threw himself at Qin Fen and wrapped his arms around Qin Fen's abdomen from behind and fiercely threw his arms up, immediately going for a backdrop.
Two thousand kg!? Hubert was shocked, again. This guy weighs about two thousand kg the moment his feet left the ground!?
BANG!
Qin Fen was only thrown less than a meter away, yet large beads of sweat had already appeared on Hubert's forehead. He deliberately looked at the thrown Qin Fen in a daze. What kind of Thousand Pound Drop did this kid practice!? He actually weighs two thousand kg!
Qin Fen crawled back up, similarly surprised. This was the first time he had seen someone lift two tons of weight."Would you like to try again?"
"Let's not." Hubert shook his head in a very straightforward manner."You weigh two tons, I can't defeat you using wrestling moves. How about we compete with kicks and punches..."
"Alright..."
Just as Qin Fen's voice fell, his left and right leg shook the ground as the distance of less than one meter between the two was shortened in the blink of an eye, as if he teleported. With his left hand, he smashed a Hand Cannon into that eight pack abdomen of Hubert.
BANG!
A muffled bang as if his fist had struck a car tire rang. Hubert stepped several steps back before he could find a stable footing. Those steel-like muscles of his abdomen were forcefully depressed a bit, but his muscles bounced back up with such a speed that it was visible to the naked eye. His abdomen mystically restored, as if the air was blown into it.
Qin Fen spread his fingers and shook them before clenching them into a fist again, causing a sonic boom immediately after. Qin Fen looked at Hubert, very surprised. To his surprise, Hubert had completely recovered from that punch! If that punch had landed on a slightly thinner steel plate, it would have completely deformed it. Yet it did not affect a human!?
"Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians!?" Qin Fen stared at Hubert, surprised. That protective paleo martial art was indeed Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians! But why is his defense so strong? If not for the nine-star level strength, if not for the great progress I had made in external true energy oscillations, I might not have been able to hurt him with just the eight-star level, even if I simulated the Origin Suppressing Vajra Art with Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to burn my true energy and use the Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds.
Of course... the premise is that I could hit him!
"Hei hei..." Hubert raised his hand and touched his place where he was hit."That's right, Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians, I have practiced it to the complete realm. You are the first martial artist in the same rank as me who could force me to resort to the transformation of the complete realm."
Qin Fen nodded as realization dawn upon him. A bit of admiration appeared in his eyes. Rumor had it that practicing the thirteenth level of Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians was almost no different than self-abuse. Anyone who could practice it successfully could be said to have great perseverance and was worthy of admiration.
"Kid, do you have anything else up your sleeve?" Hubert moved his shoulder."If not, then, I'll give it a try."
Qin Fen moved his shoulders as well as he secretly reveled in his heart. The power of any martial art, when practiced to perfection, could not be compared to its basic level. Anyone who could practice the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians to perfection indeed had the capital to be proud and arrogant in the nine-star level.
Qin Fen took the stance of Playing Pipa from Twenty-Four Simplified Tai Chi Fists as he smiled and said, "I do, but what about you?"
Just as Qin Fen's words fell, Hubert's feet kicked the ground as he immediately closed the distance between the two. His vertebra heaved up and down like waves in a river, pouring the entire momentum to his arm as he hurled it into the air so that the air before his fists was squeezed and twisted towards Qin Fen's head.
This time, Hubert exerted all his strength. The tatamis all around him were about to bounce up from the shock. Everyone could feel the ground underneath them shake even more than before.
Manager Hua lamented in his heart. It seems I have to ask someone to check the floor above this, lest it falls down someday. It won't be good.
The hammering force and the oncoming arm and fist of the Guardian Deity's Fierce Tail didn't leave Qin Fen any room to dodge. Hubert was absolutely sure than Qin Fen wouldn't escape. This guy likes fighting head-on.
Qin Fen closed his legs and bent his knees, lowering his waist as he gently clenched his palms. This wasn't the usual fist. It looked like a bit of like an imperial jade seal imprint. Next, his arm flew up from his waist as they greeted the oncoming fists, taking the Jade Breaking Fists of Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians head-on completely.
BANG...
The pressure of the two fists collided with each other with a loud bang which sounded as if someone had suddenly hit the huge battle drum on an ancient battlefield. A shock wave visible to the naked eye spread in every direction as crisp sounds of flesh and bones clashing with each other rang in the next moment.
The war force of the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians in Hubert's arm was as thick as an elephant's leg and a fist that was almost as big as Qin Fen's head climbed to the peak in the blink of an eye!
Meanwhile, everyone looked at Qin Fen's arm in surprise. Compared to that thick arm of Hubert's, Qin Fen's strong arm appeared as fragile as a matchstick.
However, much to their surprise, when this fragile arm collided with Hubert's, not a single sound of bones being crushed or broken was heard.
The tatami underneath their feet could not withstand the resulting backlash from the fierce collision of fists. The tatami ripped into countless pieces with a series of crisp sounds and flew off the ground under the subsequent impact. The resulting straws and debris flew more than two meters up in the air, forming a circular cloud of debris dancing in the air.
In the next moment, a huge black figure flew out from the cloud of debris...
Much to everyone's surprise, the one who was pushed back turned out to be Hubert. Hubert, whose feet never ever left the ground, flew off the ground in an uncontrolled manner. He only landed after flying five meters high in the air. And when he touched the ground, he took eight steps back before he could find his footing. Along the way, the tatami were all broken into fragments that danced up in the air.
Astute martial artists discovered that Hubert's protective aura of Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians was showing signs of collapsing. Although it had not been completely broken, it wasn't as stable and dense as it was when the battle started.
"What a powerful punch!" Hubert raised his left arm without any scruples and rubbed his already numb right arm as he repeatedly praised, "It is also a first for me to see someone in the nine-star level break my Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians! What punch was that? Why did it feel so strange? It was more like an ancient seal!?"
"This..." Qin Fen laughed as he looked at his imperial jade seal, like an ancient seal, fists."Is practiced by my friend. It's not completely simulated. That guy calls it Annihilation of the Clan, I call it Invigoration of Five Organs."
Hubert nodded again and again. He praised non-stop. There was a shred of dissatisfaction on his face because of having been defeated, but in his eyes, all there was, was joy and excitement after the fight.
The eyes of other martial arts coaches went wide. King of Wrestling - Hubert lost! That Hubert, who had beaten Lee Yong Jun black and blue easily, who is almost invincible in the nine-star realm, lost!?
Others also looked underneath Qin Fen's feet and to their surprise, a small crack had appeared on the floor which was specially built after much consideration and calculations.
This crack may not affect the safety of the room but no one expected that a casual fight between two people would cause the floor to crack.
Lee Yong Jun gasped a breath of cold air. There was rejoice hidden deep within those hatred-filled eyes. A wise man submits to fate. Fortunately, I took the initiative to admit defeat or else I would have been unable to save myself if we continued fighting.
"I heard someone is here to challenge the club!?"
A voice filled with curiosity and excitement came from outside the hall. Listening to this voice, a happy smile was hung on almost everyone's face.
Today, the young man led by Manager Hua had first knocked Lee Yong Jun down with a punch and then defeated Hubert who had practiced Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians to the complete realm. This was a bare-naked slap on their faces.
If they could not hold this young man down today, the martial arts department of Pegasus Fitness Club would experience a sharp decline in its income for a long time.
But now, everyone didn't need to worry about this as that Freak Wang Ying was back!
Qin Fen turned his head and looked at the one point seven two meters tall woman with long, slender legs that occupied almost two-thirds of her body height, coming in. What particularly drew everyone's attention was the cute ponytail with a red hairpin, which brought about the special charm in her.
"Is it you who came to sweep the club?" Wang Ying cracked her neck and walked straight into the ring. Suddenly, a shred of doubt appeared on her face."Kid, have we met before? You look familiar!"
"We should be meeting for the first time." Qin Fen raised his hand as he took off the wrist and ankle weights. When dropped on the tatami below, the hard tatami caved in with a loud bang.
This loud crash attracted everyone's attention. Wang Ying's eyes lit up at this moment.
"If I'm wearing a heavy-lead suit, I can't beat you." Qin Fen removed the other wrist weight and ankle weight next.
