Chapter 324: Heaven Fist

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

A duel!?

Ever since Lee Yong Jun started taking the initiative to ask the coaches of the club for pointers, the Pegasus Fitness Club’s martial arts hall had been quiet for some time.

The members and coaches were all interested. They all knew that this was the last fight of Lee Yong Jun in the Pegasus Fitness Club. After such an offense against Manager Hua, he could forget ever stepping into the gates of the club after this battle.

One step... two steps... three steps...

The hard tatami sank deep with Lee Yong Jun’s every step, as if he was stepping on snow, as if he was stepping on a sponge that had lost its elasticity. His every step left a deep footprint, giving everyone the impression that the tatami he was stepping on was as thin as a paper.

Qin Fen, on the other hand, took a few steps back, giving Lee Yong Jun a bigger space. And his steps, too, left footprints on the tatami.

However, his shallow footprints could not be compared with Lee Yong Jun’s deep footprints. Everyone who was prepared to watch a lively show shook their heads and heaved a sigh. Just by looking at both footprints, the gap in their strength could be determined. There was too big of a gap. The fight was probably going to be completely one-sided. There was nothing exciting to watch.

No, I am still not there! While retreating, Qin Fen looked at his footprints on the tatami. *Even if I’m unable to completely distribute the two tons of weight, I still should not be leaving such deep footprints. It can only mean that my control has still not reached that step.

A happy smile was hung on Lee Yong Jun’s lips. Lie expert!? He is just pretending to be an expert, nothing more, nothing less! He can’t even flatten the tatami. His knowledge is only limited to using strength with his knees.

Manager Hua retreated quietly into the crowd. How could the battle prowess of someone, who could walk so quickly even after donning two tons on his body, yet leave such shallow footprints on the tatami, as well as not being tired even after exercising in the gravity chamber which had double the gravity pressure, be any weaker?

Since Mister Qin wants to fight... Manager Hua crossed his arms around his chest and watched the battle that was about to start with a completely different mindset than everyone around him.

If he really can’t win, he can take off the two-ton suit and fight again. Manager Hua started watching the forthcoming duel with ease.

“Fighters, make your preparations.”

God knows when a table had appeared in the room, a golden bell placed on top of it. Obviously, that was the bell to start the fight. Qin Fen was a little surprised. This Pegasus Fitness Club is quite thoughtful. They even paid attention to this small detail.

Once again, Lee Yong Jun glanced at Qin Fen’s footprints as the disdainful look on his face turned into an extreme caution in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, he slowly spread his feet apart as he took a stance of Neo Taekwondo’s Poomsae. Immediately after, the aura of nine-star level broke out from his body. All the onlookers gasped a breath of cold air. He is only twenty-one years old and he has already reached the nine-star level. Everyone could not help but wonder how broad his future prospects were and how much stronger his senior brothers were, and in what realm.

He is indeed a nine-star martial artist! Qin Fen pursed his lips in satisfaction. He had indeed not misread the depth of Lee Yong Jun’s strength.

“Wow!?”

“Ah!”

“My God!”

A series of exclaims broke out among the spectators. No one had expected that this young man before their eyes, who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, would also be at the nine-star level.

Nine-star vs nine-star!

Originally, no one was looking forward to this fight. But now, their curiosity was immediately piqued. One by one, everyone started guessing whether if Qin Fen had intentionally weakened his steps.

Lee Yong Jun’s throat moved up and down as he gulped. *How old is he? He is already at the nine star level at his age? No wonder he was looking at everyone with that look. He indeed has some capital. However, it’s still too presumptuous to look down on others at his age.

“Fighters, please get ready.”

The temporary build referee table announced, once again. Everyone knew that it was a reminder to Qin Fen to quickly take a stance instead of standing still there like a pole. Qin Fen lowered his waist slightly as he spread his legs into a Great Horse Stance. The moment he took this stance, Lee Yong Jun furrowed his black eyebrows. Rising Stance of Arhat Fist!?

The crowd of onlookers cried out in wonder together. What does this lieutenant colonel want to do?

Lee Yong Jun’s eyes flickered with disbelief as his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole in the next moment. This guy’s actions and appearance resembled the recruit whom Park Jong-Hwan spoke of.

“Are you Qin Fen?”

Qin Fen nodded. Since this guy was Park Jong-Hwan’s brother, it was not too surprising for him to shout Qin Fen’s name at this time.

“So fast!?” Lee Yong Jun’s corner of eyes and lips and even the base of his ears twitched at the same time. From the message he had received from Park Jong-Hwan some days ago, Qin Fen had just won the championship and was only in eight-star level. Much to his surprise, Qin Fen had already reached the nine-star level!?

Qin Fen’s eyebrows twitched a few times as he gently cocked his head to one side and forced a helpless smile. “It’s a bit faster.”

A bit!? Lee Yong Jun forced a smile. This speed is no different than sitting on a rocket, and yet you say a bit.

After a bitter smile, a happy smile once again appeared on Lee Yong Jun’s face. The defeat of his junior brother Park Jong-Hwan had brought a disgrace of Neo Taekwondo. Originally, he felt that Qin Fen, who had defeated Park Jong-Hwan, was far weaker. If he went looking for him to take revenge, it would be no different than strong bullying the weak. But since both of them were nine-star martial artists, it seemed quite fair! At least on the surface as both of them were at the nine-star level!

Lee Yong Jun lightly moved his shoulders. How can a young lieutenant colonel, who had just entered the nine-star level, compete with an old nine-star expert, who had been at the nine-star level for half a year?

*DING...

As the bell to start the match rang, Lee Yong Jun bolted like there were springs installed underneath his feet. The tatami was no longer like thin paper underneath his feet. His forceful steps made the straws at the edge of tatami pop out like thorns, one after another. Suddenly, the tatami looked like a nest made of straws in which two hens had hatched their eggs.

The neo taekwondo inherited the speed advantage of the oldest taekwondo. Meaning it was extremely fast. And under the full brunt of nine-star strength, many weaker members were simply unable to see how Lee Yong Jun even moved. He was already in the air and just before Qin Fen.

Lee Yong Jun dived down like an eagle as he slowly pushed his right fist that was hiding under his arm out, which seemed to be moving in slow motion in the eyes of numerous martial artists and coaches.

At this moment, the heart of numerous martial artists was shocked at the same time. *This is Neo Taekwondo’s Heaven Fist! Oh my God! Lee Yong Jun has actually practiced Heaven Fist!

Looking at that fist surrounded by airflow, Qin Fen’s eyes lit up. Heaven Fist! The Heaven Fist of Neo Taekwondo is said to have abstruse principles of boundless Heaven. The slow-building of momentum and the agile tempo during the punch is integrated with the intent of boundless heaven.

As a matter of fact, the Heaven Fist wasn’t that slow. Those low-level martial artists were simply unable to track the punch. However, Lee Yong Jun’s punch was just too stable. That extreme degree of stability gave everyone a wrong visual impression.

Qin Fen raised his legs and took half a step. Just as his right foot touched the ground, his left foot shook the ground. At the same time, he punched vertically with his right arm through the inside of his left arm. His military uniform no longer made flaps against the wind, but rather a whistle, as if he was a veteran soldier with rich experience who could surely hear the sharp whistle made by artillery shells in the air.

Cannon Fist! Qin Fen had been using the Cannon Art for so long, yet it was only today that he could play with the essence of Cannon Fist. And that was to fire a bomb with a punch!

Fist and fist collided yet there weren’t any brittle sounds of bone-to-bone collisions. The pressure wrapping around both fists squeezed into one and soon burst forth with a thunderous explosion as if a football had exploded from a sudden and vigorous step.

The moment both fists touched each other, Qin Fen straighten his wrist again as the high-speed vibration of Dragon Elephant Prajna Art completely exploded like an artillery shell.

In a fleeting moment, Lee Yong Jun’s Heaven Fist also burst forth with true energy oscillations. However, just as his true energy oscillations burst out, it scattered immediately in the next moment, as if it had crashed into a huge cosmic warship. Immediately after, he felt like he was being stabbed by hundreds of thousands of steel needles before a power that could flip the mountains and overturn the seas broke through his fists and entered his wrist, traveling down his elbow and to his shoulder...

In just a blink of an eye, Lee Yong Jun let out a miserable cry as he spewed a mouthful of red blood. Before his body had even touched the ground, he was sent flying even higher. His figure did a one hundred and eighty-degree backflip and crashed heavily on the tatami a dozen meters away before his body slid another ten or so meters back. Due to the crash, the tatami turned into a huge chicken nest at the crash point before a unique passage was opened on the tatami from the slide.

Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds rang from Lee Yong Jun’s right arm that was above the ground. Anyone who had often heard this sound knew that this was the sound of someone’s bones breaking.

Almost everyone, including the coaches, was stupified.* A duel between two nine-star martial artists was decided with a single fist!?*

This guy! The moment everyone focused their gazes on Qin Fen, their mind went blank as they looked at the tatami underneath Qin Fen’s feet foolishly.

To their surprise, there was almost no visible change in the tatami underneath Qin Fen’s feet. It wasn’t crushed like a thin paper. At best, its thickness was reduced by half, that’s all.

The tatami didn’t completely collapse in that intense clash!? The coaches looked at each other. Such a result was much more difficult than crushing the tatami like a paper.

He even paid attention to the tatami underneath his feet while clashing with someone of the same star-class!? The coaches shook their heads non-stop in unison. It was impossible for them to do such a thing.

Shock was clearly written in the vicious eyes of Lee Yong Jun.* Was this kid really in eight-star level a few days ago? If so, then how is his control so powerful? Also, why is the frequency of those true energy oscillations so high?

Lee Yong Jun raised his leg, trying to stand up. However, he discovered that both his legs were completely numb. They were simply not listening to any of his commands. As such, he could only lie there helplessly, waiting for the numbness to pass.

“He is already this strong at his age?” Lee Yong Jun’s eyebrows twitched. “He can’t be left alive! He absolutely can’t be left alive! If he keeps on going like this, I’m afraid...”

Looking at the resentment and cold intent in Lee Yong Jun’s eyes, Qin Fen secretly regretted going easy on him. He felt he should have pursued him and either crippled him completely or beaten him to death! The expression in his eyes clearly told Qin Fen that he would not bury the hatchet and that he should not leave a sea of troubles for the future!

After having experienced someone like Liang Tao once, how could he make the same mistake twice? Qin Fen’s frown grew coldly. In his mind, he quickly searched for an excuse to kill Lee Yong Jun on the spot. In any case, before the fight started, he had stated it clearly, as you wish!
