Chapter 411: Great Ensemble, Shangguan Chuanqi, Martial Madman

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Several young martial artists put all their attention on Qin Fen with a tired look.

Sacred Martial Hall’s first-level masters, if placed in the outside world, would be either master-class or even Grandmaster-class founding martial artists.

If they didn’t found a sect, then they would have gone to any huge international financial group or the power of the military family. As long as they were willing to, the highest level of worship as guests would be a hundred percent inevitable.

To be able to become a disciple of an HoD ¹ -level martial artist of the Sacred Martial Hall was not just because one was rich or had the family power to obtain it. It also required to see whether this level of martial artists was in a good mood or not.

Even with Caesar and the rest, although their family background had allowed them to learn the strength of secret art internal art, it was still impossible to find a master of the HoD-level from the Sacred Martial Hall.

Everyone whose strength had reached the HoD-level of the Sacred Martial Hall had glory and pride in their hearts. Why would they take you in as a disciple because of your secular power?

When Caesar and others didn’t know Qin Fen yet, they had all wanted to enter Sacred Martial Hall and also had a hope for it: the idea of being able to become the apprentices of the powerful martial artists of Sacred Martial Hall.

However, everyone did not think about ever meeting the Hod-level master at the Sacred Martial Hall. Being able to compete for the HoD-level martial artists to be their master was already a great blessing.

The relationship between mentor and apprentice was definitely not comparable to the intimacy of the identity of the guest.

In the world of martial dao, the masters and disciples were like fathers and sons!

Today, being able to become the disciples of the two HoD-level masters of the Sacred Martial Hall was equivalent to indirectly giving two masters to one family.

Qin Fen had said a few words and given it to everyone’s home. It was a gift that couldn’t be bought even with large sums of money.

A rhythm of soft knocking on the door interrupted everyone’s thoughts, and their eyes moved to the door of Qin Fen’s room.

This knocking on the door came very suddenly. It could be said that there was no warning. Even Qin Fen did not have the slightest awareness. Obviously, the strength of this person was not inferior to the HoD-class master.

Such strength usually had considerable authority in the Sacred Martial Hall. They could enter the rooms of newcomers like Qin Fen without the need to knock. They could enter and leave freely.

Who would have thought a strong man who was estimated to be so strong that he could easily enter and leave the room freely, would knock on the door politely and patiently? This had made Qin Fen and the others even more curious.

“Please come in.”

Qin Fen responded with a simple response and the door automatically opened to the side. Wu Zun walked into the room quietly and nodded at the crowd slightly.

It’s him? Qin Fen’s heart surged with surprise. Since that day of sparring, he had never seen this person again. What’s with his sudden visit today, he wouldn’t have come just because he was bored, rig ht?

Caesar squeezed Brooks and gave Wu Zun a space of two butt-sized seats on the couch.

“Introduce yourself Chai Jin.”

Wu Zun sat down slowly, his hands and wrists placed on his knees gently which showed that his arm was slightly longer than the length of ordinary people, but it did not give out a little bit feeling of disproportionate.

On the contrary, it was only this one seat, but the spirit of the young martial artists shook slightly and there was a quiet aura of power like a vast sea. It scattered in the silence as if to contain everything.

“Qin Fen.”

“Brooks.”

“Caesar...”

The young people had not responded to their names. Although he didn’t know where the young martial artists came from, the intuition a martial artist made everyone dare not be scornful.

This person, even if it was not the head of department of the Sacred Martial Hall, he should have enough qualifications to challenge the head of department! Caesar’s eyebrows pinched together and guessed Wu Zun’s strength and identity secretly.

“Congratulations.” Wu Zun gently held his fist, “It’s a great blessing to be a disciple of a head of department.”

Qin Fen responded with a bow with both hands clasped in front and assessed Wu Zun once again who was sitting all so casually. He could give a feeling like an immovable mountain and it seemed that the Sacred Martial Hall seemed to be a place where talented individuals hide in.

“Have you heard of the Great Ensemble?”

Wu Zun’s voice was as plain as water. In return, the young martial artists’ eyes were bright with excitement, even Qin Fen, who always maintained a calm martial dao heart, had his blood heated up in this instant.

Since entering martial dao, Qin Fen had not only upgraded had his own understanding of “Wu”, he had also gained some knowledge of the martial dao related to the Federation.

The Great Ensemble was arguably the place where the entire Federation martial artists could meet. It was the first battle event organized by the Federation government with several divine beast martial artists and major martial dao sect.

That was the glorious battlefield for every martial artist. Its influence has already surpassed the Olympic Games and the World Cup. Even the presidential elections were incomparable with the Great Ensemble. It was the true first event of the Federation.

Ever since the day the Great Ensemble was born, every planet and important city desperately tried to become the venue for the conference.

The holding of a season of the Great Ensemble could drive the rapid economic development of a city. Even the planet would benefit a lot. The expensive TV broadcasting rights would earn enough to cover back all their investments!

Every time a divine beast-level martial artist attended they would bring the atmosphere of the conference to the extreme, even if it was just a few punches showed like a performance, it would also make countless martial artists feel useless to no end.

The Great Ensemble was the ultimate place of glory for martial artists! Here, you could really step into the sky. Here, after the fierce battles, you would have endless benefits in terms of martial dao. There was even the chance to be chosen by the divine beast-level martial artists to become their disciple.

The Great Ensemble was also an indirect contest between the planets. A manifestation of the comprehensive strength of martial dao!

The recruiting tournament’s combat event was nothing compared to it. It was a gap where one was the ninth level of the heavens and the other was the eighteenth level of hell.

Such a brilliant martial dao conference, which martial artists could resist its temptation?

Wu Zun looked at the excited crowd and he nodded his head softly. His voice was calm since the beginning, “Very good, it seems that you all know its existence. Then you have to work harder. I’m afraid the Great Ensemble will probably be held earlier.”

The Great Ensemble will be held earlier? Qin Fen’s body trembled slightly and the faces of Caesar and the others also revealed a startled expression. Obviously, they were completely oblivious that this would happen.

Qin Fen once again pointed his doubtful gaze at Wu Zun. The family background of Caesar and others were far from ordinary people. Not even they had heard any rumors. Why was this person so sure about it?

“You should have heard of the death of Venus White Tiger.” Wu Zun nodded to himself and said, “The reason that it would be held earlier had some connection with his sudden death.”

Qin Fen was even more puzzled. The faces of Caesar and others were also confused. How would the Great Ensemble be linked to the death of White Tiger?

“You could say that.” Wu Zun straightened his spine gently and his eyes were like shooting out electric sparks, “If there are not too many accidents, this year’s Great Ensemble champion could obtain the title of the divine beast martial artist.”

The low voice fluttered gently from the mouth of Wu Zun and fell into the ears of the young martial artists. It was like a nuclear bomb detonated in this small space.

The champion of the Great Ensemble had the possibility to become a divine beast martial artist!

historical

The news was so shocking that even Qin Fen was shocked for zero point five seconds. Only then did he recovered from it.

What defines a divine beast martial artist? Qin Fen was a martial artist who had personally received a slap. Naturally, he understood how powerful they were.

“The divine beast title...” Caesar recovered from the shock and his mouth repeated faintly the words. As a person with an extraordinary background, he understood even more about the advantages and power that hid behind the title of the divine beast martial artist.

Compared with the forces of the divine beast martial artists, any so-called aristocratic family would no longer be a huge force. It was the power and authority of the spirit and maybe even the power to conquer a planet.

The divine beast martial artists had no fear toward the special environment in space and they were also not afraid of a huge fleet of cosmic warships. Their existences were like monsters!

The federation’s military strength could use a huge fleet of cosmic warships to destroy a planet but it would be too difficult to try to kill a divine beast class martial artist.

He could make any move easily to behead someone, perhaps in just a short amount of time. The Federation would lose its president, vice president, and even a large number of commanders in the army. They could all easily disappear from this world.

It could be said that the divine beast martial artists were the first nuclear weapons of mankind and they were more of a deterrent for each other.

Brooks stared at the coffee table with a grim look. What everyone lacked the most was time! If the Great Ensemble were to be held in advance, it might be a very lucky thing for the older generations of martial artists. But for the younger generation of martial artists, this was not a good thing.

Time! The younger generation lacked time! If the Great Ensemble were to be held earlier, it would be very unfair to the younger generation.

Divine beast martial artists! Even if the champion of the Great Ensemble did not have the strength of a divine beast martial artist, but as long as they were recognized by other divine beasts, he would also obtain power and authority to a certain extent.

Solomon looked at Wu Zun with a puzzled look. Why were they so anxious to find a divine beast martial artist? This kind approach to force the birth of divine beast martial artists was very different from the previous natural production of divine beast martial artists.

“Forcing birth has its benefits.” Wu Zun’s lips hung a shallow smile, “When people know that the champion of the Great Ensemble has a chance to become a divine beast, what will the martial artists do?”

Qin Fen nodded as he understood. This was a kind of goal and also a kind of catalyst. Its existence would give many martial artists a firm goal and at the same time destroy or reinforce martial artists whose hearts of the martial dao were unstable.

For those who were destroyed, their strengths naturally would not have any more breakthroughs. It would then belong to an invisible person who had been eliminated.

The reinforced perhaps would have the strength to take one step further. This was also in line with the original intention to force the birth of divine beast-level martial artists.

Just... Qin Fen still couldn’t understand. Why would the other divine beast-level martial artists do this? What would be the benefit of forcing the births of divine beast-level martial artists?

“So, what is the specific time of the Great Ensemble?” Qin Fen asked the question that everyone was very concerned about. If it was tomorrow, then everyone would simply not attend.

“The exact time has not yet been determined, but it is certain that it would be held earlier.” Wu Zun nodded in affirmation. His eyes turned slightly and then his eyes softened again, “There is one more thing I need to tell you all.”

Everyone was shocked. Qin Fen stared at Wu Zun curiously. Is there anything else that could be greater compared to the Great Ensemble?

“Shangguan Chuanqi is not on Mars, nor on Earth.” Wu Zun’s eyes were fixed on Qin Fen’s body, “Neither will he challenge you.”

Qin Fen was not too surprised. After the announcement of Qilin Song Wendong and the challenge of Young Netherworld King Hades, he was a person with a little fame. It wasn’t a strange thing that people know about his details. Just that the direction of Shangguan Chuanqi made everyone curious.

“Shangguan Chuanqi should have gone to Saturn.” Wu Zun’s tone showed faint admiration as his pair of eyes flashed with the brilliance of glass, “Saturn does not have a divine beast yet and he’s obviously going to Saturn to compete for Saturn’s divine beast’s title.”

Caesar took a breath into his lungs. The simple words of Wu Zun actually tried to tell everyone that Shangguan Chuanqi never targeted anyone from the crowd, including Qin Fen. His goal was always clear: to become a divine beast martial artist.

On the other hand, it could be said that it was to be the most outstanding martial artists of the younger generation. Shangguan Chuanqi’s martial dao had already surpassed Qin Fen.

While Qin Fen was practicing martial dao at the Sacred Martial Hall, Shangguan Chuanqi had already taken the lead in the martial dao road and obtained the divine beast before Qin Fen did!

The legend of Mars, and now, in the near future, he might become the legend of Saturn.

Solomon looked at Qin Fen from the corner of his eye and sighed in his heart. To compare Shangguan Chuanqi with Qin Fen was somewhat unfair. The starting line of the two was not the same. Shangguan Chuanqi had the best innate conditions while Qin Fen had broken through a lot of obstacles from the bottom level.

Wu Zun lifted his right arm from his knee and patted Qin Fen’s shoulder gently. His eyes had some expectations, “If you really want to see the extreme of martial dao, then you need to work harder.”

Wu Zun left and disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye.

The room was quiet once more and the news from Wu Zun was even more amazing than the news of the two heads of department who were willing to receive new disciples. Shangguan Chuanqi had already embarked onto the road of the divine beast title and the Great Ensemble, the world’s number one event was planned to be held earlier.

After a few seconds of silence, Caesar leaned against the sofa and shut his eyes. He simply said, “Sleep.”

The word had yet to be completely said when Caesar gave a quiet snore from his nose. The training from these days was too tiring and too tough. He had experienced many shocking incidents in Qin Fen’s room and even his spirit had been exhausted to the extreme. He relaxed slightly and fell asleep.

Solomon also followed Caesar and closed his eyes quietly and used Qin Fen’s sofa as a resting place to sleep. He didn’t even want to waste his time to walk back to his room.

Qin Fen couldn’t help but look at his other friends who followed Caesar’s action. It seemed that Xue Tian had really trained everyone strictly in accordance with the initial training plan. Otherwise, they would’ve never fallen asleep immediately after they relaxed their spirits.

“Aiya...” Xue Tian stretched his waist and walked out of the door, “I hope the Great Ensemble will be held tomorrow.”

“Oh?” Qin Fen couldn’t help but look at Xue Tian curiously. How did this lazy genius suddenly become so diligent?

“The earlier the better.” Xue Tian smiled and looked at Qin Fen, “Tomorrow, my strength is naturally not enough. Even if I lose, my first master can’t do anything to me. If it is held in the next few years, then I am afraid that I would accidentally have great strength and I would have to face you to fight for the title. It’s not like you don’t know how heavy your fists are. I am not afraid of pain but I am afraid that you will destroy my face. The divine beast title is a small matter but to pursue beauty is a big issue.”

Qin Fen smiled and shook his head repeatedly. It was Xue Tian’s style of thinking in the end; wildly different from the way normal people would think.

“Hey! Let’s go see Master Ferrero first.” Xue Tian walked out of the room as he hugged his katana and the words he left drifted into Qin Fen’s room, “In order to not be disfigured in the future, I can only learn more.”

Wu Zun left. Xue Tian also left. Qin Fen looked at the few people who were asleep. Tomorrow, his companions will be competing for the internal rankings. Qin Fen got up and shook his head. He went back to his bed in the room. He continued to do the inductive of the massive martial arts system to increase his own martial cultivation.

Building One twenty-two restored its silence completely. Wu Zun stood on the top floor of another building quietly. His deep eyes gazed at Qin Fen’s room. His tone was a bit deeper, “I couldn’t become a divine beast in this life. The Sacred Martial Hall couldn’t be without divine beast martial artists; Little Madman has a chance, you have a chance. Don’t let me down!”

“The Inner Sacred Martial Hall, the Inner Sacred Martial Hall.” Xue Tian adjusted the electronic map on his badge as he stood in the lobby of the Invitation Department and smiled as he walked towards the female martial artists at the reception, “Hey beauty, my name is Xue Tian, do you have time this evening? How about we go bask in the moonlight together?”

...

The female martial artists were baffled to see Xue Tian. This was a martial artist from the basic type of the Outer Sacred Martial Hall, how dare he come here as if he was not an outsider?

“This is the Invitation Department. What business do you have?”

“Oh!” Xue Tian tapped his forehead with an awkward expression, “This brain of mine, I had forgotten why I had come here upon seeing beauties. I want to see my master Ferrero.”

“Your master? The great Ferrero is your master?” The female martial artists were surprised that their mouths had become agape, “Oh! You are Xue Tian! Ferrero just mentioned that he received a disciple called Xue Tian!”

“Haha.” Xue Tian raised his chin, “Can I meet him now?”

“Sorry, Sir Ferrero went out, you need to wait a moment.”

“Went out?”

Xue Tian looked up at the ceiling with doubts. The HoD-class masters rarely received disciples. People in this powerful of a position would rarely go out on their own initiative. Why was he not in his room?

“Accepting disciples? Both of you?”

In a quiet meeting room, the projection of the Sacred Martial Six Stars was suspended in the air as a spokesperson for Fiend Star stared at Sakra Azia, astonishing.

Ferrero would accept Qin Fen as a disciple. This was not too surprising. This head of the Invitation Department had always supported Qin Fen non-stop since the day he noticed Qin Fen.

However, Sakra Azia, the acting head of the criminal law department, could be said as the most rigid martial artist. He also wanted to accept Qin Fen as a disciple? This was so shocking!

Sakra Azia, who hated those who despised the Sacred Martial Hall’s rules, had accepted Qin Fen, who seemed to be the most resistant to the Sacred Martial Hall. Fiend Star suspected if there was something wrong with his hearing.

Qin Fen’s outstanding performance was obvious to all, it was just that Fiend Star was somewhat unable to accept Sakra Azia’s attitude.

What surprised the Sacred Martial Six Stars, even more, was that these two heads of department had not only received Qin Fen as a disciple, but also the entire team next to Qin Fen.

Moreover, as they listened to the intention of the two heads of department, they accepted the others as disciples because Qin Fen gave them a little tough decision. If they would not receive the others, they could not receive Qin Fen as a disciple.

The other heads of department in the room looked at Sakra and Ferrero with admiration. Besides admiration, there was also a little envy and jealousy. To be able to receive a disciple such as Qin Fen, even if they needed to accept pigs with no martial arts talent, would be still worth accepting! What’s more, the young martial artists around Qin Fen were all talented material.

This time, Sakra and Ferrero had gained a lot and everyone in the heads of department understood it.

Fiend Star’s black-skinned face was gradually getting darker. Theoretically, the Sacred Martial Hall couldn’t interfere with any martial artists accepting disciples in the Sacred Martial Hall but this time the people who were accepting disciples were the two heads of department. The disciples they had accepted were all basic Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists.

What are Sakra and Ferrero doing? Fiend Star knew it clearly and the other heads of department understood that this was to bypass the rules of Sacred Martial Hall! If things were really completed, then even the young martial artists could have slid pass and overcome the rules of the Sacred Martial Hall.

The rules can’t be broken! The Sacred Martial Six Stars stared silently at the two heads of department together. Many of Sacred Martial Hall’s rules were created by the Sacred Martial Six Stars and Wu Zun through their painstaking and hard-earned effort. It was one of the reasons why they were being honored as the holy land of martial dao and the reason why the Sacred Martial Hall stood proudly in the world.

Fiend Star coughed a few times, “Respective heads of department, according to the rules of Sacred Martial Hall, I wouldn’t interfere with this. However, this time it’s a bit special. Both of you accepted the same person at the same time. There had never been such a thing as this in the Sacred Martial Hall. Two heads of department of the Sacred Martial Hall accepting the same person as a disciple at the same time... I think we should give him a test? You can’t say you want to accept it! Then you will accept it? This matter concerns the face of our Sacred Martial Hall, don’t you think so?”

In the quiet meeting room, Sakra and his old rival Ferrero looked at each other and their faces showed a smile that had never been seen before.

This smile had made a head of department couldn’t sit properly and almost laughed until he fell onto the ground.

The other heads of department were also shocked alongside the Sacred Martial Six Stars. Did the sun rise from the southwest corner today? The two heads of department who were never on the same page would stand in the same camp while smiling at each other.

“I don’t know, how do the great six stars want to test him?”

Azia and Ferrero asked in unison and the scene made everyone wonder if they were dreaming. How did this pair of rivals end up on the same beat?

Fiend Star stared blankly at the two heads of department for a few seconds and said slowly, “How can we test him? This is the Sacred Martial Hall, so naturally, it would be sparring ...”

“Spar with a fifteen-star martial artist?” Ferrero asked first, “If this is the case, it’s called bullying.”

Azia nodded lightly. Qin Fen was able to beat Neo Taekwondo’s fourteen-star female martial artist; although it was related to his own strength, luck also played quite a big role in the process.

If Qin Fen were to battle against other fourteen-star martial artists, the winning percentage would be less than ten percent.

The gap between the star classes between an eleven star-class martial artist and a fourteen-star class martial artist in a battle was too great. This was not a gap that could be bridged by just the foundation of martial arts. Qin Fen would not likely to be so fortunate every time.

If he encountered fifteen-star martial artists who have already succeeded in Nirvana Marrow Transformation, Qin Fen’s winning percentage would be equal to zero.

Ferrero was the first to open his mouth, it was to shut the mouths of the Sacred Martial Six Stars. If they need a fifteen-star class martial artists to execute the test, then they sincerely did not want Qin Fen to pass.

Fiend Star looked back at the other Sacred Martial Five Star, the six-star in the projection once again silent. Qin Fen was considered as a freak martial artist. To find an eleven-star class martial artists to fight a ‘fair’ battle with him would be unfair to the other eleven-star class martial artists.

Even twelve-star class martial artists had no chance of winning against Qin Fen. This was very clear to everyone in the conference room.

Thirteen-star class? Fiend Star shook his head silently. Even if thirteen-star martial artists and Qin Fen fought against each other, I am afraid that there would only be about a fifty percent winning rate and that was still an optimistic conclusion.

It was almost impossible to win against a fourteen-star class and it was almost impossible to lose to thirteen-star class martial artists. No matter who you look for, it would not be considered as a real test.

Everyone in the conference room knew clearly that the bottom line of Ferrero was if a fourteen-star martial artist was to become an opponent for Qin Fen.

The question was that Sacred Martial Six Stars could not guarantee that the fourteen-star level martial artists could defeat Qin Fen. God knows whether Qin Fen would have another fury mode under that great pressure.

Everyone was very clear about the so-called test, but it was an excuse to prevent Qin Fen from becoming the disciple of the two heads of department so that the rules that had been evaded would be restored to the right track again.

As the disciple of the two heads of department, according to the rules, Qin Fen could get subsidies from both heads of department which would benefit far more than the benefits of Inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists.

The Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic martial artists would not have many contributions to the Sacred Martial Hall contract in the future. Sacred Martial Six Stars did not think that the benefits should be given to Qin Fen for free to help him succeed.

Fiend Star grimaced unhappily. For Qin Fen’s attitude, Sacred Martial Six Stars had only one attitude.

“I am not your father, why would I retreat?”

“You are not the sun, I wonder why does the Sacred Martial Hall revolve around you, a martial artist who doesn’t sign a deed?”

“Sacred Martial Hall’s medicine and money did not come from the breeze in thin air, nor do they fall out of the sky. There was no need to wait for a martial artist who is not a good seller.”

It was only these words, yet it was difficult to express. The two heads of department did not violate the rules of Sacred Martial Hall by accepting a disciple. He had to seize the excuse of the fact that two people had accepted the same person as a disciple at the same time to use the test to eliminate Qin Fen.

The empty conference room was silent again and Fiend Star once again walked out from the Sacred Martial Six Stars, “Fourteen-star martial artists, two rounds of cont-->>
