Chapter 388 - Backward Application, Glorious Tradition

Chapter 388: Backward Application, Glorious Tradition

A small stone arch, and three weird bells.

There was a stone bell, a paper bell, and a fog bell. Ever since the establishment of the Sacred Martial Hall, no martial artist had ever rung the fog bell when they first entered Sacred Martial Hall.

The paper bell had always been a terminator.

Throughout the history of Sacred Martial Hall, Gao Yuan was clear that among all the young martial artists who had just entered the Sacred Martial Hall for evaluation, those who rang the paper bell could be counted easily.

Fog bell? Gao Yuan shook his head gently. There was never any young martial artist who was able to ring it when they had just joined Sacred Martial Hall for evaluation.

Even that monster kid in the history of Sacred Martial Hall wasn’t able to ring the fog bell when he first entered Sacred Martial Hall.

“Even the rumored Shang Guan Chuan Qi…” Gao Yuan stared at the fog bell that was covered in mist and shook his head, “I also doubt that he would also be able to ring the fog bell at such age.”

Bai Sheng nodded slightly. In which year had a few so-called geniuses not pop out in the world of martial dao? And which of these so-called genius young martial artists were not touted by a martial dao master outside that they only exist in the sky, and that they were some genius that would only appear once in five hundred years?

But what about the results? These geniuses who were being touted outside and had never been seen before would lose their so-called genius aura quickly after entering Sacred Martial Hall.

Sacred Martial Hall… this was a center that gathered geniuses. When all the geniuses were gathered together, geniuses would also seem ordinary.

Young Hades is an example! Bai Sheng had a faint smile on his lips. The Venus martial artist who claimed to have entered the realm of the ten-star martial artists while completing the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

It was even rumored by the outside world that he had the best chance of becoming a divine beast martial artist among the younger generation.

As a result ? Bai Sheng’s eyes swept onto Qin Fen, who was on the screen, and had a gentle smile instantly. As a result, that person who was rumored to have the best chance of becoming a divine beast martial artist among the younger generation had been beaten up so bad he was declared worthless on Earth by Qin Fen, who isn’t exactly famous.

Shang Guan Chuan Qi? Bai Sheng frowned his eyebrows slightly. Who can prove that he’s someone who has been touted too high and isn’t so strong after all?

Fog bell? Bai Sheng grinned once again. The difficulty of ringing it was way too high. If one could ring it upon entering Sacred Martial Hall for five years, he or she would already be considered as a top student.

A young martial artist who had just entered the Sacred Martial Hall for not even a day…

Bai Sheng sighed again softly, even Qin Fen wouldn’t be able to complete this magnificent feat, perhaps, he will be able to ring the fog bell after two to three years. I just don’t know if the time for him to ring the fog bell will be able to create a record.

The fog bell that rose in the white mist floated in the air silently without a solid appearance. The young martial artists had all held their breaths unknowingly in fear that their breathing would influence the changes of the fog bell and disrupt Qin Fen’s course of impacting the fog bell.

Fog bell? Qin Fen was also grinning. If he came a year or two later and waited for his strength to be in a state of a fourteen-star, he would be able to form a special oscillation by mixing the released true energy into the mist instantly with his concentrated true energy and the true energy of Great Inborn Nirvana Marrow Transformation.

But now? Qin Fen took in a deep breath. The concentration of his true energy was still far from enough. It was impossible to carry out the so-called release of true energy.

Without the true energy release, it was impossible to complete the ringing of the fog bell.

Qin Fen lifted his palms gently. The moment his fingertips touched the fog bell, the white mist shied away rapidly toward the surroundings like a mimosa plant. It was impossible to truly touch their solid body.

The tense face of the white-clothed young man relaxed instantly. Indeed! Even if he is able to ring the paper bell, facing the fog bell that doesn’t even have a solid body…

Boom!

The slates under Qin Fen’s feet cracked suddenly without giving a warning. The blood vessels under his skin made a series of rushing sounds, as if half a dozen faucets had opened up in his body. The heart in his chest made a series of vibration sounds similar to battle sounds that were strong and powerful.

In an instant, Qin Fen’s right palm was red and bloody!

This is? When the young man in white was shocked when he saw that Qin Fen’s palm under the white misty bell had spurted out blood that was as fine as a bee sting with a “puff” sound!

The bright red blood turned into a bloody fog instantly and blended with the white mist quickly!

The white-clothed young man was stunned as he saw this scene. This red bloody fog did not spread out the fog bell, instead, it had a weird compatibility with it. The naked eye could see a series of ripples formed by the blood and the fog, and it was oscillating gently!

“God!”

Gao Yuan screamed as he fell off from the chair. His buttocks sat onto the ground heavily as he watched Qin Fen on the screen blankly.

“Genius!” Bai Sheng widened his eyes and praised loudly, “This is a true genius!”

Due to the lack of true energy concentration, a ten-star martial artist could not carry out the so-called true energy release, let alone condense the released true energy into a solid body. It was a complete fantasy to ring the fog bell.

However, as long as someone in this world makes a proposition, then there will be people who would find a way to break this proposition.

A ten-star martial artist couldn’t release their true energy? What about blood? When the martial artist used his true energy to transform his blood into a needle-like presence to form a special blood mist, he also hid his true energy within this blood mist! Every line of this blood mist was equipped with a true energy of the same precision and had undergone the most intense oscillation before it left the body. This was so that the moment they collide with the mist, they would produce a new resonance as they hadn’t lost their oscillation!

This resonance was enough to form a temporary solid bell the moment the blood mist merged with the fog bell! Although the time it existed would possibly be as quick as lightning, it could indeed form this weird state.

Qiang…

Qin Fen’s nails tapped the semi-atomized and semi-liquid fog bell firmly, making a sound that would only be heard when metal collided with metal. It was not a sound that would be made by an ancient giant bell from ancient times.

“This is considered as it ringing, right?”

Qin Fen shook his finger that was covered with blood gently and shook his head . It seems that I am still somewhat lacking in control power to ring the fog bell using this special method! After releasing the blood fog containing true energy oscillation, the true energy oscillation within my body couldn’t convert all the frequencies perfectly in an instant. It could only change to a frequency that could emit sounds of ironclad collisions hurriedly.

“Incredible… it’s indeed incredible…” Gao Yuan sat on the floor and looked up at Qin Fen on the screen, “Although this sound was the worst quality sound, it indeed rang. Horrifying, his control power… it’s too horrifying. This kid is even more horrifying than the monster who entered Sacred Martial Hall.”

Bai Sheng was lost for words as he looked at Qin Fen. For a ten-star martial artist to use his true energy to spurt out blood from his body was already something that was barely achievable. It was even more difficult to transform all the blood that was oscillated out into a bee-sting sized shape.

It was completely impossible for a ten-star martial artist to retain the true energy within the bee-sting-like blood! Not to mention storing true energy that could still oscillate within it. This was even impossible for a twelve-star martial artist.

To retain the true energy oscillation within the bee-sting shaped blood, and to maintain the same frequency state in each string…

Bai Sheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. I’m afraid that not many fourteen-star martial artists could even do it.

Gao Yuan wanted to laugh, but he realized that he couldn’t laugh at all. He shook his head repeatedly, “This control power seems opportunistic, yet the way it was showcased was even more horrifying. Strictly speaking, he was not opportunistic. He used a special method that could make up for his inability to release his true energy. Powerful, he’s too powerful! His control power is strong, his mind is even stronger! He thought what ordinary people wouldn’t dare to think, and he did what ordinary people wouldn’t dare to do.”

Xue Tian waved his fist in the air, “Beautiful!”

Bai Sheng nodded, “Beautiful, it’s indeed beautiful. I don’t know if there’s anybody else who can break the record of these three bells of Sacred Martial Hall.”

Gao Yuan shook his head powerlessly, How can such a record be broken? If there really is a limit in this world, Qin Fen’s performance of ringing the fog bell would be the true limit.

The performance of just a moment had completely surpassed the heart, skill, and body degree of fusion that a peak ten-star martial artist should have. Even a twelve-star martial artist’s peak performance of heart, skill, and body might be inferior to this performance.

Caesar shook his head and smiled bitterly. This scene was indeed exciting to see, yet it also filled him with frustration. Everyone was about the same age, why was the gap in strength getting bigger and bigger?

Brooks tapped on Caesar’s shoulder as though he had admitted defeat, “This is Qin Fen the Freak, just accept it.”

Yang Lie looked up and the back of his head touched the wall, “Yeah, just accept it! Let’s just fight for second place of the younger generation…”

Solomon poked Yang Lie’s shoulder with his finger and pointed to Xue Tian who wasn’t too far away.

“Ai…” Yang Lie sighed again, “Forget it, let’s just fight for third place of the younger generation.”

Qin Fen looked up at the position of the pinhole detector, “May I ask if this is considered a pass?”

“It’s a pass, it’s a pass…” Gao Yuan looked at the screen blankly as he nodded, “Now, you can all go back to the rooms you came from and enter from the other side of the door. As for the results of your evaluation earlier, I will also report it to the higher-ups. The reward will be sent to you after a while.”

“Thank you.” Qin Fen nodded politely and walked toward the direction he came from.

Caesar rushed to walk next to Qin Fen and said, “I’m afraid that the Reborn Pill doesn’t have much of an effect on me. Are you interested? Ten yuan, and I’ll sell it to you.”

Ten yuan? Qin Fen smiled. How is this even considered selling a Reborn Pill? The price is even cheaper than Power Pills that were sold on the streets.

“Qin Fen, his is too expensive. Buy mine.” Yang Lie placed his hands behind his head and waddled beside him, “I will sell it for five yuan.”

“Mine for two and a half yuan.” Caesar laughed as he joined in the fun.

The passage was filled with laughter, and the white-clothed man’s mind was muddled. Where did these freaks come from? How have I never heard that the younger generation could be strong to this extent? Even among those historical outstanding martial artists… not many could be this fierce at such a young age!

As they passed through the door on the other side of the room, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Ever since they came to the realm of Sacred Martial Hall, no one had seen a living person besides themselves. Now, they’ve finally seen a real living person.

This side of the room was not a slender gallery, but a modern reception desk. There were telephones, computers, and a female receptionist who was pretty good looking.

“This side…”

The female receptionist did not even lift her eyelids. She waved her hand with a very bad attitude and pointed toward a self-service computer, “Fill in your names and the invitation. You have one extra chance to modify your application here. For example, if you applied for the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type originally, you can re-edit it to the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type, or the Inner Sacred Martial Hall. Of course, this kind of application from the outer to the inner would depend on your qualifications. If you are not qualified, your application will be wasted.”

The female receptionist finished talking in an unfriendly manner and looked back at her own computer screen attentively. Her arm posture changed according to the changing of the image on the screen.

Xue Tian shook his head and said, “This is indeed Sacred Martial Hall. No time is wasted here. I admire this, I really admire this.”

“Yi?” Yang Lie’s eyebrows twitched, “Qin Fen, did you sign up for Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type? I thought you signed up for Inner Sacred Martial Hall.”

When everyone heard Yang Lie’s words, they were shocked as they all came to the screen. For Qin Fen, who was so stubborn when it comes to martial dao, to actually chose for Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type at this sacred place of martial dao… this was indeed shocking.

“I don’t want to be tied down.” Qin Fen finished filling in his information, “The heart can have a companion, but it can’t be tied down. If the heart is tied down, then the fists will also be tied down, right?”

“If the heart is tied down, the fists will also be tied down…” Caesar repeated this statement several times, and looked at the female receptionist, “Can the application be applied casually? For example, the previous application for the inner hall was approved, but now I’d like to change my application to the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type.”

“That doesn’t require an application. You just have to fill in, and it will take immediate effect…” The female receptionist said without thinking, then looked up at Caesar suddenly. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, “What did you say? You applied for Inner Sacred Martial Hall successfully, and now you want to change it to Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type? I didn’t hear you wrong, did I?”

Caesar’s ten fingers filled in his information quickly on the keyboard, and nodded his head simply, “Yeah.”

Yeah? The female receptionist’s mouth opened up to a size that was big enough to swallow an egg.

Sacred Martial Hall! The world’s sacred land of martial arts! It had strict rules and regulations.

The three halls would conduct a thorough evaluation once every while.

If the martial artists of Inner Sacred Martial Hall did not meet the standards of the assessment, they would be downgraded to the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type.

If the martial artists of the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type were not up to standards, they would then be sent to the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type.

At each time of the assessment, all the martial artists from the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity and basic type would go over to the Inner Sacred Martial Hall to test their luck, thinking that if they were to pass the evaluation, they would be able to enter the Inner Sacred Martial Hall.

Ever since the female receptionist entered Sacred Martial Hall, she had only heard of people who would keep trying to apply for the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type or the Inner Sacred Martial Hall. She had never heard of someone from the inner Sacred Martial Hall applying outward voluntarily.

“Settled!” Caesar tapped on the enter button on the beam keyboard handsomely and retreated to the side happily.

The female receptionist looked at Caesar carefully. Did this young man go mad because he entered the sacred land of martial arts? He actually removed himself to the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type? He probably doesn’t know, right? Ever since the establishment of Sacred Martial Hall, no one has ever been able to rush back to their original class after they downgrade.

One could get the secret records of martial arts, the help of medicinal herbs, as well as guidance from master martial artists in the Inner Sacred Martial Hall. It was far beyond the interests of the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type.

Of course, the help that martial artists of the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type could get was also far beyond the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type!

Entering the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type was equivalent to being sentenced to death by Sacred Martial Hall! It was stamped with two big characters “no future”.

“Qin Fen is in the outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type?” Yang Lie stood in front of the computer and started filling in his information, “I’ll change then. I won’t go to the Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type now. I’ll change it to the basic type.”

“…” Solomon tapped on the beam keyboard in front of the computer silently, and Caesar peeked from the side sneakily. Although this person didn’t say a single word, he, too, was changing from Inner Sacred Martial Hall to Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type.

The female receptionist stared blankly at the other computer screen beside her. Except for the white-clothed young man Hu Yingjie, all the other martial artists from Inner Sacred Martial Hall and Outer Sacred Martial Hall equity type were changed to Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type. They sealed off their own future road of martial dao!

“Are they crazy? Have they all gone crazy?” The female reception muttered, “These kids know nothing about the immensity of the universe.”

The immensity of the universe? Yang Lie and Caesar smiled at each other. If they had came to Sacred Martial Hall immediately after the Recruit Tournament ended, the best they would be today was a nine-star peak martial artist. They would even be stuck at this realm constantly, unsure about the time they would take to complete the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

“Beauty.”

Xue Tian appeared in front of the table suddenly and gave the female receptionist a shock.

“Where is our residence?”

The female receptionist recovered from her shock and took out a batch of electronic badges from under the table, “There are the rules and regulations of Sacred Martial Hall on these. It will tell you where the basic type can go, and which places are restricted for you. There is also a map that tells you the activity areas throughout the whole Sacred Martial Hall that you can go to, as well as your residences. Read the rules and regulations when you have the time. If you break the rules, you will be expelled from Sacred Martial Hall.”

Xue Tian grabbed the badges on the table and threw them behind his back. Qin Fen and others lifted their arms gently, and everyone caught a badge each. The female receptionist was stunned. This act seemed simple, but it was indeed not a simple thing for it to fall onto each and everyone’s hands without having to look.

“Beauty, thank you.” Xue Tian collected the badge, “I’ll treat you to tea someday.”

“Tea?” The female receptionist looked at Xue Tian’s back and smirked as she shook her head, “After you have passed the glorious tradition of Sacred Martial Hall’s baptism, I’ll see if you’ll still say that so handsomely…”

Ring ring ring…

The female receptionist grabbed the phone, “Hello.”

“Hello, I am Bai Sheng. There is someone named Qin Fen among those young men. Did he modify his application to enter the inner Sacred Martial Hall?”

“Inner Sacred Martial Hall?” The female receptionist was a little more curious. What is with today? Bai Sheng actually called to ask about a newcomer specifically?

“He didn’t modify his application, but almost all the people who came with him changed their original intentions and followed him to the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type.”

“What?” Bai Sheng suspected that his ear had a problem, “They have all achieved the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, yet they still chose the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic type?”

“What!” The voice of the female receptionist was also raised, “There’s someone who is less than nineteen years old that has completed True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth? Who among them has completed it? Is it the one called Qin Fen?”

Bai Sheng held the phone and replied in a weak tone, “Except for the young martial artist in white, the rest of them have all completed it…”

“What did you say?!”

The phone slipped from the female receptionist’s hand and slammed onto the table. She stared at Xue Tian’s shadow as it disappeared down the hall, “They have all completed it? How is it possible? If this is true… doesn’t that mean that the glorious tradition of Sacred Martial Hall’s newcomer baptism will come to an end…?”
