Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

With the sound of a bang, the two metal doors slammed together hard and completely sealed the laboratory of metallurgy researchers.

Ferrero looked at Xue Tian’s indifferent back and secretly admired him. In this critical half-year period, everyone was working hard to enhance their practice and seek to make final breakthroughs. They cherished every second they had, but Xue Tian did not care about this problem at all.

This was a kind of mental growth. It couldn’t be said that Xue Tian had a better mentality, but it could at least be said that Xue Tian’s mentality was very healthy. He knew how to prioritize matters instead of just immersing himself desperately in training solely for the purpose of pursuing a breakthrough.

Ferrero looked at Qin Fen and his heart was filled with comfort. Accepting these two disciples at the Sacred Martial Hall was indeed the proudest decision in his life.

Qin Fen was more stable now compared to the time when he was at the Sacred Martial Hall. Even just standing casually or walking normally, his body carried an indescribable calmness. It felt as if it was not a human moving but a towering mountain instead. There was an aura that was majestic and powerful in every movement.

Putting aside the strength, the majestic and powerful aura in each movement alone could transverse the five mountains; even the Sacred Martial Six Stars couldn’t match this young Qin Fen. What happened to him recently? The Qin Fen who battled against Terrorist King at the stadium concert in the past had such a different aura of power compared to his current aura of power.

Qin Fen entered the room that was designated for people to relax in and made a cup of tea for the two masters. He sat on the right side of the guests and said, “Please have some tea.”

The three men hadn’t been together for a long time, but they also had some mutual understanding between them. There were only two explanations why the two masters from Sacred Martial Hall would appear here at this juncture: either to cheer him on or to keep watch of things.

The young men of Saturn’s military headquarters shocked the world with the battle at the stadium concert that day. Thereafter, they quickly became the most fascinating group of uprising stars in the martial arts world. Many people even thought that they were qualified to be on equal footing with Elysium and Inferno.

However, the young martial artists of Saturn’s military headquarters were weaker than the tough predecessors in terms of foundation. This was an inevitable flaw. You could ignore their existence, but you could not deny the facts.

Elysium and Inferno were doubtful about the young men of Saturn’s military headquarters. No one knew if they would suddenly make a surprise attack or use other methods on the young men of Saturn’s military headquarters.

Increasing the overall strength of Saturn’s military headquarters was the best way, but the Sacred Martial Hall had stipulated that they must maintain their own detached status. They should never interfere with the affairs and power struggles among the parties who were fighting over the title of divine beasts.

The purpose was to convey a message to all martial art practitioners in the world – the Sacred Martial Hall was of a transcendental existence! The major forces had always tacitly recognized this fact; even divine beast martial artists fully acknowledged the Sacred Martial Hall. Almost every once in a while, there would be a divine beast appearing at the Sacred Martial Hall to teach the Sacred Martial Hall’s martial artists.

The divine beast martial artists teaching other force’s martial artists! Only the Sacred Martial Hall could enjoy this kind of treatment. Due to their transcendentality, Sacred Martial Hall also became the Holy Land in the hearts of martial artists.

The Sacred Martial Hall’s honor seat must not interfere with worldly affairs! This was the iron law of the Sacred Martial Hall! There were only two types of scenarios where exceptions could be made. The first was when human society encountered a huge crisis and humanity had reached dangers of extinction. Then, all of the Sacred Martial Hall members should sacrifice their lives and shed their blood in order to resolve the crisis of human beings!

Another exception was if the Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments gave up their seats! They would leave Sacred Martial Hall from then on and no longer have any relationship with the Sacred Martial Hall!

The treatments of the Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments were enough to make any martial artist stunned. However, these treatments were not really the things that held the hearts of the Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments. The glory of fully belonging to the Sacred Martial Hall was the real reason why the Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments never left the Sacred Martial Hall.

However, the two major Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments had personally appeared in Saturn’s military headquarters today. Although they didn’t say anything extra, it had already explained one thing to some extent.

The Sacred Martial Hall never had the record of heads of departments leaving the organization willingly, and this record might break at any time soon now! The two famous Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments may even choose to leave their beloved Sacred Martial Hall for the sake of their own disciples.

Qin Fen could feel what the two masters’ actions meant to the world, and he knew how great the support given to him by these two masters was.

Touched? No! What rose in Qin Fen’s heart was a kind of family warmth, not something shallowly touchy. There was nothing touchy about the affection within a family, and touchy matters would never be the same as affection within a family! It was only between loved ones that you can experience the warmth that need not be expressed in words, but just simple actions.

“It’s not bad here.”

The least talkative Sakra was the first to put down the teacup and broke the warm silence of the room.

Qin Fen nodded and agreed. There was no need to pretend to be modest in front of his masters. It was indeed really good that Saturn’s military headquarters could have its current development.

A true God would not be hypocritical and pretentious. Yes was yes, and no was no. He dared to face everything and also dared to shoulder everything.

Qin Fen’s unconscious movements had secretly begun to conform to the word “God” in Divine Boxing. This was no longer him deliberately trying to be aligned with Divine Boxing — it had changed from an ideological perspective.

Bang!

The door suddenly opened and Du Peng stood outside the door stiffly. He looked at the two Sacred Martial Hall’s honor seats and performed the disciple rituals too, “Masters.”

Sakra’s serious eyes flashed a trace of surprise and amazement. Du Peng’s body faintly exuded a very special aura that never even existed within Qin Fen. It was completely different from the past Du Peng in the Sacred Martial Hall. It seems that the fierce beast that was trapped in his body was freed!

With a fierce temperament and eagerness to try, his whole body exuded a brisk battle intent. Du Peng gently arched his hand, “Do you have time, masters?”

Sparring! Since he woke up, Du Peng’s personality had changed a lot. He always came straight to the point in handling matters, never made any turns, and his goals were always clear and concise. Even the person he was facing could feel this point clearly. He had already embarked on his own martial dao journey.

“You want to do some sparring? Ok!” Ferrero got up and moved his shoulders with a smile, “Kid, don’t even say it. I’m really interested in you.”

In this world, a master’s tolerance for his disciple was sometimes not inferior to a father’s tolerance for his son. Even though Ferrero had just arrived at Saturn by taking a spaceship from Earth and had only drunk a cup of tea without having the time to catch up and talk yet, he did not reject Du Peng’s request to spar.

The strength of the masters determined the destructive impact they had on the surrounding buildings during their battle. Usually, they would choose a special geographical environment to carry out the battle.

Du Peng did not choose another environment. Compared to the strength of Qin Fen and others, he clearly knew the gap he had with the masters, and he could take a serious look at the gap calmly.

When Du Peng thought about the gap previously, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to catch up and close the gap! Although the impatient mentality could be converted into motivation, the martial dao heart was not stable. That kind of mentality was far worse than Hades’ vengeful heart.

The vengeful heart was more direct and pure, and it was relatively clean without any distracting thoughts. An impatient mentality would create endless distractions, and it would only block people’s progress on martial dao.

The current Du Peng’s mentality was not much different than that of Xue Tian. He looked at Ferrero and did not choose to go to other places for sparring. His strength, under the suppression of Ferrero, couldn’t damage the surrounding environment at all.

Sakra also stood up and with his arm blocked in front of Ferrero, his eyes staring straight at Du Peng.

There was no need to speak. With just a simple body movement, Sakra had expressed his interest in Du Peng.

Ferrero shrugged and retreated to the side, “You are hardly interested in people. I will not fight with you today.”

Du Peng did not make any comments about the change of opponent. The opponents were the Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments anyway. There would not be much difference in strength. The true energy in his body suddenly rose and pushed open. Streams of energy waves that were visible to the naked eyes exploded out of his body, blowing the papers off the tables in the room. Even the tea in the cup was shaking.

This was the strength of a sixteen-star apex-level pro! Qin Fen leaned back on the chair and waited for Du Peng’s next change calmly. If this was all his strength, then he had disappointed the efforts of Du Zhanpeng, Lin Liqiang, and Enzo Rota, super-geniuses from three different fields.

Changes appeared in the next moment! Du Peng’s complexion became a little greenish, and his fingers’ muscles slowly crept. Each sharp fingernail became like a long hook, and the skin of his whole body actually ... actually grew scales!

That’s right! Blue-black scales which were the size of a thumbnail! These scales covered almost his entire body! Two very short and sharp horns slowly arched from his forehead!

Crack...crack...crack...

There were sounds of his spine continuously moving. His spine looked like a dragon swimming and twirling in the sea. There were a series of blasting sound, and his teeth became sharp.

In an instant, Du Peng’s aura became brutally fierce which was unparalleled! He was like a monster!

Qin Fen’s eyelids were flickering incessantly. He didn’t think that Du Peng’s change would turn out to be like this! This change was really surprising.

“Dragonization!”

Lin Liqiang’s excited and proud voice, along with his projection, appeared next to Qin Fen, “Old Qin, how about that? Doesn’t it look so mythical? This is Du Peng’s new human being transformation, Dragonization!”

New human being? Qin Fen remembered that it was one of Lin Liqiang’s most exciting performances. Recently, Qin Fen had not seen any changes in Du Peng, and thought that the development of the new human being was not noticeable by people. He didn’t expect it to be so obvious.

“Old Qin, isn’t it unexpected? I never thought about it either.” Lin Liqiang looked at Du Peng with excitement, “We’ve speculated a lot about the research direction of the new human being and done some planning as well. We also surprisingly found out that among the new human beings, there should also be those who can use mental power, which should be categorized as the Mental Type. Then, we temporarily divided the new human beings into several major types. The strongest type is called the Dragon Type!”

Dragon! Since the history of its legend, it had been one of the synonyms of being the strongest.

“Of course, this dragon is not exactly like the dragon from mythology and legends. How should I explain it to you...” Lin Liqiang tapped his head, struggling, “Old Qin, if you have some time, do supplement some scientific knowledge. After all, you came out of a famous high school, and so it should not be difficult for you to learn it.”

Qin Fen nodded, “Wait until my martial dao has another breakthrough.”

“Well, I won’t force you. Everyone’s path is different.” Lin Liqiang said thoughtfully, “In short, his outer appearance has changed. In fact, his whole body has changed dramatically. He lives in normal human form on normal days. The energy consumed is less, and the fighting energy that bursts out is also less. After the Dragonization... oh! After becoming like a dragon in mythology and legend, his body greatly improves, resulting in the strengthening of the body meridian’s strength. His true energy sprints and skyrockets...”

“In a nutshell...” Lin Liqiang concluded, “It is very powerful and mighty! Even as another sixteen-star, you will not necessarily defeat him. As for the other changes, those are still more on the theoretical inference stage. Even I can’t say anything further.”
