Chapter 228: The Eruption of Devil Might

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Liang Tao, a member of three five seven corps, first battalion, first company, first platoon, fist squad. He cultivated neo martial art – Mag Drive Flying Sword and controlled a set of rainbow flying swords. Just recently, he had a new surgical transplant and already attained the strength of a four-star level.

Qin Fen quickly went through the information collected by the Squad Leader Hao and the others in his mind.

Just by making a few phone calls, these personal data had immediately arrived in their hands. Only after seeing that kind of speed that Qin Fen realized that he might have looked down on his drill instructors and their connections that were like twined roots of a giant tree, twisted and complicated.

Otherwise, it was impossible to gather such data so quickly that it only took the time for one to yawn. Not to mention that even the high voltage and the intensity of each of those seven flying swords were clearly investigated.

The red sword was three hundred volts, the orange sword was six hundred volts, the yellow sword was nine hundred volts, the green sword was one thousand two hundred volts, the blue sword was one thousand five hundred volts, the indigo sword was one thousand eight hundred volts, and the violet sword was three thousand volts!

In addition to this set of rainbow flying swords, Liang Tao also had a small, secret flying sword hidden in his belt. This flying sword had no electrical power, it was just sharp! At a close range, it could easily pierce through bulletproof armor. Cao Rong had paid a lot of money for it.

Liang Tao was particularly happy this morning. After waking up, he received a call with good news. The matter of his third uncle* refusing to agree was finished with a phone call from his grandmother.

Hearing that his grandmother had personally taken action to deprive Qin Fen of his spot, Liang Tao knew that he should not have any problems anymore. All he needed was to quietly wait for the day when the spots would be announced, and he could embark on the glorious course for the new recruit tournament.

Liang Tao, relying on his four-star level strength, easily ran to the front of the first company at a brisk pace. As a participant of the new recruit tournament, how could he follow behind others and eat dust?

While Liang Tao was running happily, two people suddenly came from the distance and blocked his route.

Liang Tao was startled. He stopped in his steps and rubbed his eyes hard. He couldn’t believe that young men with obvious western origins were standing before him.

“En…Enzo Rota…”

Liang Tao was very surprised. He had once participated in one of the parties of the circle. There, he had seen a young man from far away who was praised as the favored son of heaven by many people.

An outstanding background, a genius-level intellect, superb martial arts endowments, the dream lover of countless girls.

If Enzo Rota hadn’t been too outstanding, it would have been impossible for him to recognize Enzo Rota and promptly recall the opposite party’s origins.

“Are you Liang Tao?”

Qin Fen sized up Liang Tao. In theory, if he could recognize Enzo Rota at one glance, his family’s background forces wouldn’t be too bad.

Only now did Liang Tao focused his gaze Qin Fen who was next to Enzo Rota and then said, raising his eyebrows with arrogance, “Who are you? Enzo’s attendant? You don’t have the qualification to speak here.”

“I heard that you wanted to steal my spot?” Qin Fen being taller than Liang Hao, looked down at the opposite party with a sneer. “I personally came to see what qualifications you have to replace me.”

“You…you’re…” Liang Tao tapped his temple with his finger. Generally, he wouldn’t even bother to remember insignificant characters like him.

Qin Fen, raising his thumb, pointed at his own chest. “Qin Fen.”

“Oh! Right, right, right!” Liang Tao slapped his forehead as he smiled again. “So you are that guy called Qin Fen!? What is it? Not convinced?”

“I just came to see what qualifications you have to replace me. I didn’t expect…hahaha…” Qin Fen broke into cold laughter, shaking his head. “Now I wonder whether you have taken bribes from the American Military or any other military? If trash like you represented East Asia, you will only bring shame to East Asia.”

“What did you say?” Liang Tao, like a fighting cock, raised his voice sharply all of a sudden, “If you have the guts, say it once again.”

“If trash like you represented East Asia, you will only bring shame to East Asia.”

Behind Liang Tao, Kyokushin Genichi took a steady step as he repeated Qin Fen’s words.

“If trash like you represented East Asia, you will only bring shame to East Asia!”

Zhao Can’s voice was even harder that Kyokushin Genichi’s, as if his words could smash a pit on the ground.

“If a third-class waste like you represented East Asia, even the animal of East Asia would feel ashamed.”

Okamoto Takeshi had the largest stature, but he didn’t speak in a dumb way even a bit — on the contrary, his words were the sharpest.

Shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hand out, Qin Fen said sarcastically, “Now, are you sure you need me to say it again?”

Liang Tao suddenly turned back as his eyes behind the gold-rimmed spectacles shot a malicious gaze at Zha Can and the others. “You all…”

“What about us?” Zha Can puffed his chest and stepped forward. An arrogant aura slowly emanating from his body. “That’s what I said just now. If you don’t agree, let’s have a contest. Don’t worry, no one will say that you are bullying me, a sick patient.”

“If you are afraid of Zha Can’s fist, you can do it with me. “Okamoto Takeshi’s mountain-like body moved half a meter forward. “If you are still a man, play it fair and square. Sneaking around and doing those dirty things under the table, even a martial artist should have some self-esteem.”

Liang Tao’s cold eyes glanced about at everyone as his resentment and grudgingness slowly turned into laughter. “Hmph…hmph…hahaha…hahaha…”

After several bouts of laughter, Liang Tao narrowed his eyes as a sharp aura shot out from the narrow gaps of his eyelids. “I call this using rules in a reasonable manner! If I have such options, why shouldn’t I use them? Qin Fen, if you are upset, then, blame your parents, blame all your relatives. It’s because you don’t have any outstanding figures in your family, you don’t have any backing. That’s the only reason why you here and talking to me about fairness! If you had such options, I don’t believe you wouldn’t use it!”

Qin Fen smiled.* Comparing connections? Since Squad Leader Hao was planning on using his connections to confront, at least, it shows that his connections aren’t any weaker than the opponent.*

Having laughed at by Qin Fen, Liang Tao was feeling a bit annoyed in his heart. That smile always gave him a feeling like when humans would laugh at a monkey’s limited intellect.

“Is there anything else?” Liang Tao pushed the gold-rimmed spectacles up his nose as he tried to calm the jitters in his heart. “I need to train to get a good place in the new recruit tournament. If there is nothing else, please make way.”

Qin Fen’s body swayed as he blocked Liang Tao’s route, once more. “I heard that every recruit camp has a number one fighter, is that right?”

“That’s right.” Liang Tao raised his head and turned up his eyes. “What’s wrong? You want to say that you are that!? Hahaha, laughable, truly laughable! You think that as long as those recruits who don’t have any strength would arbitrarily call you the number one fighter, you will become the number one fighter!? If you want to take the title of the number one fighter among the recruits, you need to ask me first. Not to mention there are also Kyokushin Genichi, Zha Can and the others behind me.”

“Is that so?” Qin Fen looked at Zha Can standing behind Liang Tao, pretending like he didn’t know anything.

“We admit that you, Qin Fen are the number one fighter of this recruit camp!”

Zha Can, Kyokushin Genichi, Okamoto Takeshi, as well as the just-arrived Park Jong-Hwan answered to Qin Fen’s question together using loudest of their voices.

Liang Tao’s face immediately turned stiff. How can these people, who have eyes on top of their heads, do…

“Liang Tao.” Qin Fen raised his fingers in a very calm manner and pointed at the recruits who had stopped training. “They are all watching, I, as the current number one fighter of this recruit camp, give you an invite to fight, giving you the chance to take my title.”

Liang Tao looked around him continuously. He suddenly discovered that thousands of eyes were staring at him.

The stiff look on his face remained for a few seconds before the elasticity slowly returned to his facial muscles. He let out a cold snort. “What’s my status? What qualifications does a thing like you, who came from the slums, have to fight with me?”

Liang Tao, throwing a few words of mockery, arrived beside Qin Fen with a sway of his body and lifted his leg to leave. He really didn’t want to have a head-on confrontation with someone who could make even a tough guy like Zha Can admit defeat.

In any case, I already have the spot. It’s better not to fight an unnecessary battle.

Just as Liang Tao was about to take his step, a black figure blocked his way. As he raised his head to look, a chill ran up his spine and straight to his brain.

God knows when Enzo Rota had arrived before Liang Tao. His usual grim face was currently covered in a layer of frost. His blue eyes were glittering with a sharp gleam like the eyes of the most ferocious solitary wolf in nature.

“En…Enzo…” Liang Tao’s heart fiercely contracted as countless goosebumps exploded all over his skin.

“Am I qualified enough?”

Enzo Rota, who rarely spoke long sentences, had spoken four words in one breath. Furthermore, it was with such a chilling intent that it made Liang Tao’s body tremble, once more.

That gathering was still vivid in Liang Tao’s memories. Because Enzo Rota was too outstanding, he had inquired about him privately, as to why Enzo Rota didn’t speak much, whether he was mute or what.

As a result, the answer he got was that Enzo Rota just didn’t like to talk much. Only on a few occasions, he had spoken no more that one or two words. If anyone heard him speak more than two words, that would represent great mood swings for this man. Either extreme joy, or extreme sorrow, or extreme anger!

Liang Tao could determine that Enzo Rota before him was absolutely not extremely happy or extremely sad. Then, since he had spoken four words in one breath, that meant that he was extremely angry.

“Haha…haha…” Liang Tao swung his hands again and again. “Enzo, I am not qualified to fight with you. You are a rare genius, I am also not your match. If I have to fight with you, then, I will admit defeat. Can I admit defeat?”

Liang Tao, repeatedly swinging his hand, kept on retreating. In any case, even if lost to Enzo Rota, he won’t lose his spot. He might as well simply admit his defeat.

“Old Enz, forget it.” Qin Fen patted Enzo Rota’s shoulder. “What are you going to do?”

Liang Tao couldn’t believe his eyes. The intel said that Qin Fen was as poor as a pauper. But to his surprise, he could even slap Enzo Rota’s back. Moreover, seeing Enzo Rota’s appearance, he even accepted his proposal.

“If Enzo isn’t fighting, then, I will carry on with my training.”

Liang Tao didn’t dare to tarry any longer. If a man of Enzo Rota’s stature insistently made a move on him, he would be beaten without even a chance of revenge. The forces behind his family were simply too large.

Slip…

Liang Tao almost fell down when his feet slipped. Lowering his head, he discovered that just when he was passing by, he had unintentionally stepped on Qin Fen’s foot.

What a stroke of bad luck! Liang Tao swore in his heart. Just as he took another step to leave, a hand whooshed through the air, towards his shoulder.

Warning signs immediately tolled in Liang Tao’s heart. Liang Tao leaned his body towards one side to avoid as he shouted, angrily glaring at Qin Fen, “What do you want?”

Qin Fen’s finger pointed down at his foot. “You just stepped on me. I only wanted to pat you on your shoulder to call you and ask you to apologize to me.”

Liang Tao rolled his eyes. Just a palm could make wind howl. That palm could even break rocks and you want to use to call me?

“Hey, apologize.” Qin Fen pointed at the imprint on his foot. “I am sure you stepped on my foot on purpose. Therefore, you have to kneel down and kowtow to apologize, and also, wipe my shoes clean.”

“What?” Liang Tao even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Obviously, you stretched your foot out on purpose just now. And now, you actually dare to ask me to kowtow to apologize?

“Kneel. Down. And. Kowtow. To. Apologize.”

Qin Fen forcefully squeezed each and every word out of his mouth. You want to use underhanded tricks to grab my spot, and, acting so arrogantly. Then, I also have no reason to treat you nicely! The drill instructors had taught me that when engaging with an enemy who harbors evil designs, I have to directly fight back! He never taught me the principle of obedience and forbearance.

Liang Tao took a glance at Enzo Rota fearfully. Having seen his performance, he had no choice but to keep an eye out on Enzo Rota.

Hesitant, Liang Tao crossed his hands before his chest. “I just stepped on you, it’s no big deal. You can step back on mine.”

“Alright!”

Just as Qin Fen’s replied, his raised foot suddenly bloomed with Dragon Elephant Prajna Art!

BOOM!

The moment his sole smashed against the ground, the ground could be seen quaking with naked eyes. The blue bricks underneath his foot were crushed to nothing directly. Even the scene of pieces of rocks spluttering didn’t appear.

Liang Tao was petrified upon seeing the dust slowly rising from the ground. Only now did he come to realize why a firm bridge and horse martial artist like Zha Can admit that Qin Fen was the number one fighter among the recruits. Even Zha Can couldn’t stamp like that.

“Come here.” Qin Fen hooked his finger. “I will step on you.”

Where would Liang Tao find the guts to step forward? Instead, he retreated a step back and shook his head, repeatedly, “No.”

Qin Fen just gave a smile.* I was waiting for you to disagree! My purpose for coming here isn’t just limited to the scope of breaking your leg but to send you directly to the hospital. Don’t you love your son? Then, let me hurt you enough! Go to the hospital and love your son dearly!*

“I give you two choices.” Qin Fen also became overbearing with the aura erupting from his foot. “First, let me step on your foot. Second, kneel down and kowtow to apologize to me…”

Having been continuously humiliated, Liang Tao no longer took account of Enzo Rota’s opinion. All around them, so many recruits were watching. If he kept on acting like this, how could he lift his head in the future?

“F**k your mother! You want your father to kowtow to you? What kind of thing are you?”

Interrupting Qin Fen with a hard and loud voice, Liang Tao pointed at Qin Fen’s nose and started cursing. I don’t dare counter Enzo Rota. But do you think I will be afraid of going against a little squirt like you? I don’t believe that a little squirt like you would truly dare to hit someone clearly knowing that the guy you are facing has a powerful family and is someone you can’t deal with.

“Your father is telling you to immediately f**k off!” Liang Tao, seeing Qin Fen’s face quickly turning dark, shouted more and more quickly, “My uncle is a high-ranking official in Shengjing’s military. He can throw you out of the military camp by just moving his finger! If you disappear immediately, your father can still spare you! Otherwise…hmph!”

Having roared out all of his background in one breath, Liang Tao’s heart finally settled down a bit. So long as a normal person heard such family background, only a few would dare to make a move on the opposite party. A few curse and abuses would make them scram, crestfallen.

“Does it feels very good to curse?” Qin Fen lightly exercised his shoulders. “It seems that you haven’t received good teaching since childhood. Then, I will teach you a lesson this once on behalf of your father.”

“You…”

Exerting his strength into his feet and stamping them on the ground, Liang Tao cast a movement technique as he retreated quickly. Meanwhile, his hands formed seals of a sword technique as seven rainbow-colored flying swords flew into the sky from the distant living quarters behind Liang Tao.

These seven swords did not hower in the air, but rather cut through the air as they swished down, drawing a beautiful yet lethal rainbow across the sky. Their target: Qin Fen.

As a member of a neither too big nor too little military family, Liang Tao could clearly feel that Qin Fen had every intention to make a move on him.

He who strikes first has the bigger advantage. Liang Tao clearly understood this reason. Under his full impetus, the Rainbow Flying Swords rushed down like a beam of light, entering the combat range in the blink of an eye, aiming straight at Qin Fen.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art perfused through his arms as his true energy stirred his blood, making his blood seethe. Owing to which, his two arms suddenly grew several times thicker out of nowhere, ripping his military uniform and revealing his strong muscles.

Meanwhile, the first red sword had already arrived before Qin Fen. In response, Qin Fen’s huge arms rushed straight towards it to grab it.

At the sight of this, Liang Tao felt pleasantly surprised in his heart. The red sword’s entire body was covered in electric arcs. Although the electricity wasn’t that strong, it could still electrify a martial artist to the point that his body would grow numb momentarily!

What the experts contended for was a second! Liang Tao was confident that when the red sword electrified his opponent, the other six swords would have completely surrounded Qin Fen. At that time, he could force the other party to kowtow instead. This way, not only would he have recovered his lost face, he would also steadily occupy the throne of the number one fighter in the recruit camp. At that time, who would dare to make random remarks on him?!

Pa!

As the red sword entered Qin Fen’s palm, Liang Tao’s excitement was clearly expressed by the exaggerated arc drawn by the corner of his lips.

Electrify!

Liang Tao’s brain quickly issued this command. Just as the blue sparks leaped out of the blade, Qin Fen’s hands had grasped the sword by its two ends and twisted it, like he was twisting clothes after washing.

The sparks that just jumped out were instantly extinguished. The instrument hidden in its body had already been trashed with the twisting of the red sword.

*He dares scrap my sword? *Liang Tao’s fury suddenly rose to a whole new level. He quickly gave another order to the oranger sword in his mind. Discharge!

The sword had yet to enter Qin Fen’s arm, but the sword’s body was already electrified. Liang Tao’s pride reappeared on his lips once more. I don’t believe you dare to grab my sword in this kind of state!

While Liang Tao was immersed in his happiness, he didn’t stop his retreat at all. A long-distance combat martial artist’s basic quality was to maintain enough safe distance.

Pa…

Even under the situation when blue sparks erupted from the entire body of the orange sword, Qin Fen stretched his hand out and grabbed the sword in his hand, once more. At the same time, casting the Dragon Guard with a flash, he avoided the sharp flying sword stabbing him from the back as he twisted the sword in his hand like before!

Papapa…

The twisted orange sword that had been thrown on the ground still had the blue electric arcs that did not yet completely disappear. They were still jumping about the blade constantly.

“How is this possible? Is he not afraid of electricity? But that’s six hundred volts!” Liang Tao was agape and tongue-tied. He turned his wrist once more before a sword flying in the air swooped down. “I don’t believe you can’t die from electrocution! Nine hundred volts!”

Yellow sword…the next moment, it was clear that it also couldn’t escape the fate of the previous two swords. The sword’s body was completely twisted and scrapped by Qin Fen before being thrown on the ground.

At this moment, not only Liang Tao was tongue-tied, the corners of Zha Can and the others’ eyes were also madly twitching constantly.

Nine hundred volts. Even if there is some tenacious art protecting the body, isn’t this already surpassing the limit of humans?

Everyone, who was still reeling in from the shock, saw something even more shocking than before. The green sword of one thousand two hundred volts had turned into a green chewing gum that had been chewed countless times before spitting out.

Only Kyokushin Genichi looked ecstatic instead of being shocked. This was his teacher! One of the most correct things I have done over these years is worshipping my teacher.

The smile on Kyokushin Genichi’s face had yet to completely spread, and the blue sword of one thousand five hundred volts had also been twisted and scrapped.

Rainbow Flying Swords, a set of seven swords!

Looking at the five scrapped swords lying at Qin Fen’s feet, Liang Tao couldn’t believe his eyes. Is he not afraid of electricity? Impossible!

The indigo sword of one thousand eight hundred volts had also been scrapped.

As Qin Fen scrapped the six flying swords continuously in a brave manner, the heroic spirit in his heart turned into a war cry that resounded throughout the sky.

This cry wasn’t loud enough to break everyone’s eardrum. But coupled with heroic bearing, many recruits unconsciously covered their ears to avoid this tyrannical might.

Liang Tao somehow could not bear to launch the final violet sword. He wasn’t sure whether Qin Fen’s body was an insulator or not. Currently, Qin Fen appeared to be completely unafraid of electric current.

Similarly, Qin Fen was also uncertain. In the beginning, he only wanted to scrap the first two flying swords. But what he didn’t expect that every time he broke the flying sword, the electric current would feel like the bite of ants.

It wasn’t until the sixth sword was destroyed that Qin Fen’s arm started to feel a bit numb.

Looking at the violet sword of three thousand volts hovering in the sky, Qin Fen wasn’t sure. Therefore, by howling at the sky, he wanted to arouse his heroic heart.

Every increase in three hundred volts, he would feel a little bit more. One thousand eight hundred volts was like this, then, three thousand volts would be…

Last sword…Liang Tao was hesitant. He secretly looked about, hoping to find a route to retreat.

This? What’s that look in their eyes? Liang Tao momentarily quivered. The expression in everyone’s eyes around him could be divided into two. Those who were looking at Qin Fen had their eyes filled with worship and admiration. And those who were looking at Liang Tao gave the look in their eyes was like they were looking at a circus clown.

“Qin Fen!” Liang Tao ground his teeth. “You grabbed my spot and destroyed my prestige. Today, I will kill you! Violet sword! Overload! Four thousand volts!”

Liang Tao’s four limbs started convulsing as the regulator in his body began to release the data that could control the flying sword with four thousand volts of current.

The divine flying sword suddenly burst forth with a bluish resplendent light as electric currents jumped out of its body, making crackling noises. Its speed was as fast as a lightning bolt that suddenly appeared under the night sky.

“Come!”

Qin Fen gave a loud shout as he grabbed the diving sword once more. At the sight of which, Liang Tao was taken aback again. He can actually catch such a fast flying sword? How is this possible?

Immediately after, the most unforgettable scene appeared for the majority of the onlookers.

The violet sword of four thousand volts was twisted and scrapped by Qin Fen with a dragon-like roar.

“How is this possible?”

Liang Tao had already forgotten how many times he had said “How is this possible?” today. Immediately after, he exerted strength in his legs as he turned around, trying to escape. But right then he heard an explosive sound behind him like that of the drums in an ancient battlefield, along with the fluttering of somebody’s clothes like a guy was chasing after him. Suddenly, his shoulders were pushed back to the ground by a vigorous pressure from the sky.

In Liang Tao’s eyes, a huge hand was quickly enlarging. Before he could react, he felt a burning sensation coming from his cheek as red blood constantly whirled before his eyes.

In the next moment, Qin Fen’s cold voice rang in his ears. “You have to pay a price for everything you do. Weren’t you just happily cursing? I was only going to seriously hurt you. But I have changed my idea. I am going to smash away all your teeth to that point that you wouldn’t be able to bear the pain, so that you will remember that when you humiliate a man, and he will humiliate you more!”

The corner of every onlooking recruits’ eyes and mouths twitched repeatedly. This wasn’t a fight between martial artists but rather a father teaching his disobedient son a lesson!
