Chapter 399: Shocking Sixth-Level Oscillation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In contrast to the momentum of Inner Sacred Martial Hall people when they arrived, which was tigers coming down the mountain, they left like toothless tigers.

In the quiet lecture hall, the Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists glanced at each other several times before they broke into cheers.

Who didn’t want to sit in the front as much as possible while attending the lecture? Who didn’t want to minutely observe every of the lecturer? But with the existence of the Inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists, no one was able to do it no matter how much they wanted.

But today, the Inner Sacred Martial Hall people had left, crestfallen. Everyone, on the other hand, felt a huge piece of rock taken off their chests.

Qin Fen looked back at that strange man sitting in the last row before beckoning him to come with him.

The man sitting in the last row, on the other hand, waved his hand. Judging by the look in his eyes, Qin Fen could tell that the other party had no intention of sitting in the front row. And so, he didn’t beckon him anymore. He just turned his head and stared at today’s lecturer, excited.

“Ke… ke…”

The moment Ren Tiansheng’s eyes met with Qin Fen, he felt that the eyes of this young man were very pure. And it wasn’t because of the winner’s pride, nor was it because of the inferiority of the basic-type Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists. His eyes were very peaceful; there was not a shred of impatience, which was quite perfect for drawing anyone.

He hastily coughed a few times. Ren Tiansheng, hiding the embarrassment of being attracted by Qin Fen’s eyes, puffed his chest slightly and said, “I am your main lecturer today. What I am going to teach you today is mainly related to true energy oscillations.”

Wow…

The young martial artists raised hues and cries in low voices.

True energy oscillations were very novel and an important martial skill for young Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists, who had entered the Sacred Martial Hall no more than three months ago.

Many martial artists had joined the Sacred Martial Hall in the seven-star realm but still couldn’t oscillate their true energy completely, which could enhance their physique as well as help in fighting.

Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the young martial artists below, a happy smile appeared in the corner of Ren Tiansheng’s eyes. Just true energy oscillation made you so excited… youth, geez…

Ren Tiansheng swept a glance through the lecture hall leisurely. But very soon, his glance swept Qin Fen and the others sitting on the first row.

…

Ren Tiansheng’s expression turned stiff immediately as he sized up Qin Fen with a strange look in his eyes. Why is this young man listening with such a serious attitude when his true energy oscillations are so strong obviously? Has he encountered some problem in true energy oscillations, so he came for some pointers?

Ren Tiansheng contemplated for a few seconds, doubtful. Realizing that he had no way to dispel this doubt, he regained his spirit and said, “So, we must first know what true energy oscillations are.”

“What are true energy oscillations?” Ren Tianshen asked and answered himself. He picked up a glass of water and swayed it slightly. “See this, just like the water is undulating, our blood can also undulate, and true energy can also oscillate. However, the oscillation must be done in a controlled range.”

Qin Fen nodded his agreement lightly. Back then he understood the basic theory of true energy oscillations through sound waves. Whereas Ren Tiansheng had used water as an analogy.

“What are the uses of true energy oscillations?” Ren Tiansheng quickly entered the state of a lecturer. He no longer continued to observe Qin Fen’s expression frequently. He just kept on lecturing the young people how to achieve true energy oscillations, to what degree can the true energy oscillations be controlled, and how strong the basic control of true energy oscillations should be, how it should be tested, and what was known as the numerical control.

Qin Fen nodded again and again while listening to Ren Tiansheng’s lecture. Sacred Martial Hall sure had its own unique features, especially regards to true energy oscillations. They had also done a very detailed division of true energy oscillations.

The primary-level true energy oscillations were when it was barely achievable. The oscillations control was riddled with occasional error. This was also known as first-level true energy oscillations.

Second-level true energy oscillations were when a primary-level of true energy oscillations was achievable. They were devoid of any error whatsoever.

At the third-level of true energy oscillations, the frequency could be changed.

At the fourth level of true energy oscillations, the control of true energy oscillations would have almost reached the level of at-will. But it was only limited to a certain meridian.

The fifth-level of true energy oscillations was the independent control of the main meridians.

The sixth-level of true energy oscillations was when the true energy oscillations could be controlled in eight extraordinary meridians and oscillations could be done at different frequencies at the same time as well.

“Simultaneously control every true energy oscillations at a different frequency in the body!? Is this really possible?”

“Yes, is it really possible? Every part of the body has its strengths and weaknesses. How much control does one need to control every place? Only divine beast-level martial artists can do it, isn’t that so?”

The young martial artists voiced their doubts, one after another. The Sacred Martial Hall lectures had never objected to asking questions.

“This…” Ren Tiansheng shrugged his shoulders. “I heard that you don’t need to be a divine beast-level martial artist to do this, it is possible.”

“Heard? Professor, you can’t do it?”

“Professor, at what level your true energy oscillations are at?”

“Mine!?” Ren Tiansheng raised his chest. “Fourth-level.”

A clamor broke out amidst the young martial artists below. The true energy oscillations had a grand total of six levels and much to their surprise, the professor had reached the fourth level already.

“Alright.” Ren Tiansheng spread his arms. “Don’t ask me first. First, you should sense your degree of control in your body in accordance with what I said.”

The noisy lecture hall calmed down immediately. Each young martial artist was concentrating with rapt attention.

Ren Tiansheng, stepping down from the podium, made his way to Qin Fen. During the lecture, he had swept glances at the young attendees occasionally and he had always found Qin Fen nodding lightly; he was not nodding his understanding but his recognition.

Exchanging pointers! Ren Tiansheng had been thinking of exchange pointers with Qin Fen when he saw him defeat his opponent bare-handed before the lecture, hoping that they could promote each other through this exchange.

Take Qin Fen as a disciple!? Ren Tiansheng had already discarded this thought. Qin Fen’s star-class may be weaker but his foundation was very deeper; he would not take a fourteen-star martial artist as his master for sure.

Ren Tiansheng sat face-to-face with Qin Fen. “I saw you nodding frequently, it seems you have a pretty good understanding of true energy oscillations.”

“A little bit.” Qin Fen remained modest. “Just some superficial understanding.”

“Superficial!?” Ren Tiansheng shook his head. “Young man, a bit of modesty is good but excessive modesty is hypocrisy.”

Excessive modesty!? Qin Fen gave a helpless smile. The more he came to understood martial dao, the more he felt the shallowness of the past. It other words, he wasn’t a hypocrite to say he only had a superficial understanding; it was a fact, nothing more, nothing less.

Ren Tiansheng was extremely curious about Qin Fen. Seeing that Qin Fen stopped talking, he continued, “Kid, what’s the level of your true energy oscillations control?”

“Sixth-level?”

“What!?” Ren Tiansheng suspected there was something wrong with his ears. His eyes went wide as he sized up Qin Fen, again and again. “Kid, what level did you say?”

“Sixth-level.”

Looking at the dumbfounded Ren Tiansheng, Qin Fen smiled indifferently. Although true energy oscillations were very difficult, it was far simpler than Nirvana Marrow Transformation. The moment he finished the Nirvana Marrow Transformation, he only needed a minimum control of full-body over true energy oscillations.

In other words, if he had not achieved level-six control over true energy oscillations, it would’ve been impossible to finish the Nirvana Marrow Transformation. That day, Master still hadn’t told him the whole truth in regards to the oscillations.

Above the oscillations of true energy meridians, there were also oscillations of blood and bone marrow through the true energy oscillations; both were stronger oscillations that could strengthen and remold the physique.

“You can do sixth-level oscillations? True? Or false?”

Ren Tiansheng was still unable to believe that a martial artist, who was not even nineteen years old yet, could achieve sixth-level of true energy oscillations. What about my forty years of hard work?

Qin Fen went up the podium silently before he reached out and touched the glass filled with water with his five fingers…

“This…”

Ren Tiansheng stood up straight immediately as he looked at the cup of water touched by Qin Fen’s fingers with round bell-like widened eyes. Eight undulating water column had surged up from the calm water surface. The thickness and speed of eruption of these eight water columns were also different.

Level-six control of true energy oscillations! That can only be done the peak level-six control of true energy oscillations! Who would have thought that what I just arbitrarily talked and described to inspired the young martial artists on the podium would actually reappear before me for real!

Ren Tiansheng watched Qin Fen come down from the podium in a daze, his stiff facial muscles forced a bitter smile. 4What’s the matter today? When I thought that I had found a good seedling, a successor to pass my mantle onto, I ultimately discover that this successor has the foundations to sit on equal footing with me and discuss pointers even though his star-class was inadequate…

Ren Tiansheng sighed once more and shook his head as fast as a rattle. It’s already frustrating to see a good seedling successor turn into a rival in the blink of an eye. But this kid’s performance is too outstanding, I don’t even have the qualifications to sit before him and exchange pointers on equal footing.

Ask for advice…that’s right! Reng Tiansheng looked at Qin Fen helplessly. He was an honorable fourteen-star Sacred Martial Hall martial artist, a martial arts lecturer who taught the freshmen. But much to his dismay, he could not even compare notes with a martial artist who was less than nineteen years old. All he could do was ask for advice.

Ren Tiansheng smiled bitterly as he sat on the ground, recalling how this short half a day had turned interesting; from the initial idea of taking Qin Fen as an apprentice to teach him, to becoming someone he could only compare notes with, to discovering that all he could do was ask for advice from the opposite party! Asking for advice from a young martial artist who was not even nineteen.

“No matter whoever studies first, the one to learn first is the teacher. No matter whoever studies first, the one to learn first is the teacher…” Ren Tiansheng chewed the words of the sages as his dazed eyes regained their spirits gradually. he sat down on the ground and looked up to Qin Fen, who was sitting on the stump. “Kid… kid…”

Suddenly, Ren Tiansheng discovered that he didn’t know how to address Qin Fen. According to the norms, it was quite respectable to address a martial artist, who had just enrolled in the Sacred Martial Hall, as “kid” already. But this rookie, who had just entered the Sacred Martial Hall, had a very deep foundation in martial arts.

If they compared martial arts foundation, Ren Tiansheng discovered that he should address Qin Fen as Senior.

A fourteen-star martial artist in forties addressing a teenager as Senior!? Ren Tiansheng was truly unable to open his mouth.

“Senior, my name is Qin Fen.”

Ren Tiansheng heaved a long sigh of relief as he turned his attention to Qin Fen. Not only does this young guy have a very deep foundation in martial arts, he is also humble; his observation is quite meticulous. He is a rare genius.

Ren Tiansheng pondered for a bit, “Brother Qin Fen, I hope you don’t mind me addressing you like this.”

“Senior, of course, I don’t mind.”

“Don’t call me senior.” Ren Tianshed waved his hand powerlessly. “I would really blush with shame if you call me senior. I will call you brother, so you can call me Elder Brother Ren alright?”

“Elder Brother Ren.”

Ren Tiansheng secretly raised a thumb in his heart. When Qin Fen called him this, neither was he pretentious nor was he disdainful. Even Ren Tiansheng didn’t have such an attitude at Qin Fen’s age.

“Brother Qin…” Ren Tiansheng scratched his head. “I want to ask you how to progress from the fourth-level of true energy oscillations to fifth-level of true energy oscillations. This elder brother of yours had been stagnant all these years, it’s very distressing.”

This time it was Qin Fen’s turn to stare at Ren Tiansheng in a daze. He truly hadn’t expected a fourteen-star lecturer to actually lower himself and ask his guidance in such a straightforward manner.

Looking at that look of disbelief in Qin Fen’s eyes, Ren Tiansheng could only smile wryly. He was really at his wits’ ends. Although the Sacred Martial Hall had given him the method to practice true energy oscillations, he didn’t know why he was unable to break the bottleneck of the forth-level of true energy oscillations regardless of how he practiced. There was no progress in his true energy control either.

“Brother Qin, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I am really at my wits’ ends.” Ren Tiansheng looked distressed as he tugged his black hair hard. “For a decade, your brother’s true energy oscillations have been stuck at the fourth-level for a decade. I have been practicing the true energy oscillations in accordance with the Sacred Martial Hall method, but still have not succeeded. Otherwise, why would a forty-year-old man lower himself and ask your guidance like this?”

A decade!? Qin Fen gazed at Ren Tiansheng with admiration. Even a martial artist who had his complete focus on martial arts would go crazy if there was no progress in a decade. It was really admirable to see someone who can still maintain certain calmness even after this.

“Then, how about we check first?” Qin Fen put his hand outwards as he took the pushing hand stance of Tai Chi. “I will check at what step of the fourth-level Elder Brother’s true energy oscillations is at.”

“Alright!” Ren Tiansheng rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, “Then Brother Qin, please don’t laugh at your elder brother’s incompetence. Please be careful, although my true energy oscillations are inadequate, they still possess a lot of power.”

Clap…

Qin Fen felt his wrist sink sharply as soon as their wrists came in contact. That was the Strength of Sumeru practiced by Ren Tiansheng throughout the year. His strength grew particularly stronger as the true energy oscillations of continuously varying frequency were transmitted.

“Well!?”

Ren Tiansheng looked surprised once more. I am already exerting three thousand pounds of pressure and it looks like he isn’t feeling anything. He just lifted it casually.

Qin Fen slowly furrowed his burrow. The changing of frequency is fast and smooth; there isn’t any sluggishness. It can be said that his true energy oscillations are the peak of the fourth level. They should be able to enter the fifth-level without any guidance easily.

BANG BANG…BANG BANG…BANG BANG…

As both of their wrists came in contact with each other, the oscillation true energy clashed with each other continuously with continuous reverberating drumming sounds. Many young martial artists opened their eyes, looking at the scene before their eyes with surprise.

Much to their surprise, a young basic-type outer Sacred Martial Hall freshman was exchanging pointers in true energy oscillations with the lecturer! This freshman is really lucky. He is appreciated by the professor. My guess is that he will be taken as the professor’s apprentice!

Immediately, gazes of envy landed on Qin Fen one after another. Although it wasn’t rare to see someone accepting a teacher in the Sacred Martial Hall, it was extremely rare when it happened to a basic-type Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist. It seems that this kid is going to soar into the sky in a single leap.

Gazing at Qin Fen, Ren Tiansheng was competing in true energy oscillations, which always maintained an absolute balance, while also pondering about the problem. Suddenly, a sense of frustration gripped his heart. I, who has lived over forty years, is even worse than a teenaged martial artist. What’s the matter?

Qin Fen furrowed brow slowly loosened up. His wrist shook ever so slightly before he withdrew his linked hands that were emitting true energy oscillations.

“This…” Ren Tiansheng eyes widened as he smiled wryly again. It wasn’t easy for anyone to take the initiative to withdraw when competing in true energy oscillations. He knew that Qin Fen’s true energy oscillations were at level six but seeing him do something a fourteen-star martial artist wasn’t able to do as easily as raising his arm was still extremely shocking.

Qin Fen placed his arm under his chin and sunk into his thoughts. Suddenly, Ren Tiansheng felt like scratching his ears and cheeks in embarrassment. After seeing him, I thought that this teenaged martial artist may have a shortcut to the true energy oscillation which had not seen progress for a decade. But now, judging by the teenager’s pondering look, perhaps he also doesn’t know what to do?

The young martial artists in the vicinity stared at Qin Fen and Ren Tiansheng in confusion. Now that they had finished testing, why is this kid not taking the opportunity to worship Ren Tiansheng as his teacher? Why is he still pretending to be so deep? Quickly take him as your teacher! Quickly!

Many young martial artists clenched their fists in anxiety. They could not wait to push Qin Fen’s head onto the ground to help him complete the ceremony.

“Hmm…” Qin Fen’s hand supporting his chin moved a few centimeters down as he said, still staring at the ground, “I think, it might be because of this.”

“Because of what?”

Ren Tiansheng stared nervously at Qin Fen. He had been stuck at the fourth-level of true energy oscillations for so many years already. There were also several junior and senior brothers, who, too, have been stuck at this level, unable to break through for many years.

“This… I can’t describe it in words. I’ve got a better idea.” Qin Fen raised his index finger and said, “If Elder Brother Ren believes me, then, please relax your true energy, don’t control it at all. I will inject my true energy into your body and guide your true energy, help you get that feeling.”

Ren Tiansheng took in a breath of cold air till his lips went dry. Even an expert whose true energy oscillations were at the peak of the sixth level was not necessarily able to oscillate the true energy of someone else by injecting his true energy into others’ bodies unless he could oscillate both his blood and energy. There were indeed martial artists like these in Sacred Martial Hall, but it was impossible for them to help others for no reason. One would need pills to carry out this exchange.

The more one had advanced in martial arts, the more pills one needed to exchange. Ren Tiansheng had saved a lot over these years but he was still reluctant to find someone to help him in this. He always felt like he could achieve it tomorrow, but he still hadn’t entered the fifth-level of true energy oscillations.

“You can oscillate blood and energy?” Ren Tiansheng was truly shocked. His heart was pounding dozens of times every second. “You can truly oscillate blood and energy?”

Qin Fen smiled and didn’t answer. He gently tapped his finger…

BANG BANG… BANG BANG… BANG BANG…

Ren Tiansheng’s martial attire seemed to be drumming. His martial attire would vibrate slightly with every oscillation.

The onlooking young martial artists stood dumbfounded.

What’s the meaning of this? It wasn’t that the professor was testing Qin Fen in that previous exchange but rather, Qin Fen was testing the professor!?

One minute, three minutes…ten minutes… half an hour…

Ren Tiansheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flickering with an inexplicable complex expression. He raised his eyes and looked at the confused young martial artists in the vicinity before turning his gaze at Qin Fen, who was sitting on the stump. Finally, he could not help but heave a long sigh

“Sigh…”

Ren Tiansheng dropped his head powerlessly with this sigh. His tone turned even more helpless. “Brother Qin, are you interested in taking in a martial artist much older than you?”

Qin Fen looked at Ren Tiansheng, dumbfounded for a long while before asking, “What? Elder Brother Ren, are you kidding me?”

“I am not kidding.”

Ren Tiansheng looked at the ground, crestfallen. A fourteen-star Sacred Martial Hall martial artist, who was in his forties, was actually worshiping a teenaged ten-star martial artist. If he was not doing it himself, he would have never believed it.

But it’s really happening! Ren Tianshen himself found it funny. From the initial notion of taking the opposite part as his disciple to wishing to compare notes with him on equal footing, to requesting his guidance… now, it had changed to taking the opposite party as his teacher after he came to know that the opposite party could oscillate his blood and energy.

Cycle! Ren Tiansheng had no choice but to admit the fact that he had completed a weird cycle. But he was utterly convinced.

“What!?”

“What did he say!?”

“Did I hear it correctly?”

The young martial artists broke into an uproar once again. Almost everyone could not believe the scene before their eyes. The fourteen-star martial artist, Ren Tiansheng, who came to teach them higher-level martial arts, someone who had been practicing in the Sacred Martial Hall for many years, was actually worshiping Qin Fen as his teacher!? No matter how big of a genius Qin Fen was, he was just a teenager and it had just been two days since he joined the Sacred Martial Hall!

Sakra Azia, gazing at this absurd scene through the screen, did not speak for a long time. Much to his dismay, a fourteen-star martial artist who had been studying martial arts in the Sacred Martial Hall for many years wanted to worship a teenaged martial artist as a teacher on his second day since he joined the Sacred Martial Hall!? This is truly unprecedented in the long history of Sacred Martial Hall!?’

Bai Sheng looked at Gao Yuan and discovered that he, too, was also looking at him. More importantly, those eyes of his were flickering with a crazed look!

That’s right! Gao Yuan’s eyes had an extremely fervent look, it was the look of persistent pursuit of martial arts! One could read clearly what he wanted to say through his eyes.

“I also want to have a breakthrough in the true energy oscillations control! Bai Sheng, didn’t you invite this young man? Introduce him to me! I want to take him as my teacher! I want to worship him as my teacher!”

Chills ran down Bai Sheng’s spine several times. Gao Yuan was definitely not joking. He is serious.

Ferrero was already smiling like a flower. He kept clapping and said, “If we do not talk about the problem of his star-class, this kid can really become Ren Tiansheng’s teacher from the perspective of the martial arts foundation.”

Sakra Azia’s face looked like his father had just died. He nodded reluctantly. “You’re right.”
