The calm words of Qin Fen gave out an aura of an expert, which sent a deep shock through Ge Bing, one that he had never felt before. With that calm and poised manner, Qin Fen revealed the bearing of a grandmaster once more.

Qin Fen took a step in a very calm and poised manner. His steps didn’t make any earth-shattering sound, and neither was there any scene of rocks flying everywhere. His gait was as relaxed as a walk after a meal.

Nonetheless, the hairs of Ge Bing’s back stood on their ends. His narrowed eyes radiated a cold gleam filled with vigilance as the iron atoms covered the surface of his body in the blink of an eye.

“The bite of an injured beast is fiercer than the usual.”

Ge Bing had never forgotten this phrase.

Qin Fen had exhausted a large part of his strength. Ge Bing knew that Qin Fen’s next punch would perhaps be his last.

“As long as I dodge this attack…”

Ge Bing issued a new instruction to the crystal chip in his body, which was the simulated data of what his body could tolerate. It was also the crucial foundation that could assist him in unleashing the utmost limit of his strength.

Seeing Qin Fen take another step, Ge Bing couldn’t wait anymore. He rubbed his palms as blue electrical sparks jumped out from the gap between his palms.

Since his neo martial art had been seen through, there was no longer any need to hide it. He started casting it openly! This could also give birth to a threat in the opponent’s mind.

Ge Bing had thought it out in detail. The moment he stomped his feet on the ground, the Yin and Yang Electromagnetic Art created a gravitational force that reversed the gravity underneath his feet creating a repulsive force.

The rebound from the stamping of his feet, coupled with the repulsion force, turned the F1 Ge Bing into a jet plane. Immediately after, his figure cut through the air, giving rise to a whistling noise like when a mortar was moving through the air.

The gravitational recoil from the neo martial art, Yin and Yang Magnetic Hands, was so mighty that it made the onlookers smack their lips.

Facing such a fierce collision, there was not a single change in the calm look on Qin Fen’s face, none whatsoever. In response to Ge Bing’s attack, Qin Fen bent his body slightly as he took half a step and suddenly rotated his ankle, shifting his entire body a little bit to one side. What Qin Fen had used was the Dragon Guard from the Arhat Fist, owing to which, Ge Bing’s figure that was creating a downstream was pushed to one side.

A Dragon could control the winds, ride the clouds!

In Qin Fen’s opinion, the downstream created by Ge Bing was nothing more than the wind that could be driven by the Dragon Guard.

Having his attack dodged, a smile emerged in Ge Bing’s eyes; it was already within his calculations. Only, he didn’t expect that the opposite party would use a Dragon Guard-like move to achieve it.

Suddenly, a powerful gravitational pull was produced underneath the feet of the advancing Ge Bing. This time, his body and gravity produced a powerful attractive force that forcefully pulled Ge Bing’s body to the ground. At the same time, Ge Bing, using his palms like blades, firing a Lightning Cut as deep blue electric arcs constantly jumped back and forth from his palms.

At this time, Ge Bing was wielding the lightning like he was the legendary Thunder God.

Qin Fen, on the other hand, completely ignoring the palms flying at him, steadied his waist and hips as he rotated his arms while pushing them upwards. Meanwhile, the charging Dragon Elephant Prajna Art in his dantian rushed out like a tide. Owing to which, the true energy flowing with his blood let out faint whooshing sounds like those made by surging tides. Even his moving palms faintly burst forth with a furious howl, like a powerful sea wave was imminent.

Hearing these howls, Ge Bing felt like he was having a battle with Qin Fen on a seashore.

In the next moment, endless palm silhouettes, each carrying the terrifying power of a tsunami, emerged before Ge Bing’s eyes. At the sight of this, Ge Bing’s eyes went wide again. He finally had a dangerous feeling. This is his last attack, I have to dodge it!

Immediately, Ge Bing reversed the Earth’s gravity, once more, creating a repulsion.

The biochemical beast, coupled with the true energy charging with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and the Raging Berserker Tide, gave Qin Fen a feeling that he had transcended the strength of two elephants at this moment.

Fast as Ge Bing’s retreat was, Qin Fen’s chase was faster. The power of two elephants pushing a human body could only be imagined.

Right then, the Lightning Cut smashed into the violent tsunami like a lightning bolt smashing its way into the vast ocean. But this time, Qin Fen’s arms weren’t smacked away by the lightning as before.

In the next moment, the metal covering Ge Bing’s palm cracked and smashed away all at the same time. Immediately after, the metal covering the back of his palm and the arm exploded and scattered like dominos falling. It only came to a stop when it reached his shoulder.

As a thunderous blast from metal blasting into pieces resounded, a cracking sound from Ge Bing’s arm breaking due to the pressure was heard. Only when an excruciating pain emerged from the depths of his bone marrow did Ge Bing come to realize that his Lighting Cut had been broken.

“Ge Bing is finished…” A poker-faced Song Zhenting serenely looked at Qin Fen’s wild stance amidst the metal fragments flying in the courtyard. “What an overbearing finishing move. I can even hear the howls of sea waves.”

Just as Song Zhenting passed his comment, dozens of Qin Fen’s palm struck Ge Bing’s body. It was like he was standing in the sea and his entire body was submerged by a giant sea wave.

This time, Ge Bing had completely lost the protection provided by the iron film attached to his body due to the Yin and Yang Magnetic Hands.

Hitherto, Ge Bing was like a tortoise hiding in its shell. But as luck would have it, he had encountered an elephant passing by. And unluckily, the elephant had stepped on the turtle shell.

How could a terrestrial tortoise compete with an elephant that weighed several tons? Naturally, the tortoiseshell was crushed into pieces.

The iron film covering Ge Bing’s body was crushed into pieces just like the tortoiseshell. His stomach, shoulders, back, legs…

Almost all the places protected by the metal film bore the full brunt of Qin Fen’s Raging Berserker Tide. The metal film cracked into pieces and scattered away in the blink of an eye. Ge Bing’s entire body rose high into the air and flew straight towards the distant wall.

Butler Hou’s figure flickered before he appeared on the courtyard wall. Then, he raised his hand to receive Ge Bing as he had done before. But suddenly, he felt the penetrating force of sea waves charging straight into his palm from Ge Bing’s body.

“Haha…”

Butler Hou’s eyes flickered with a pleasantly surprised look. With a slight twist of his wrist, the penetrating power traveled down his arm and passed through his foot. This caused numerous bricks of the courtyard wall to be shattered into pieces with a thump. Only then did the power of sea waves had completely dissipated.

Having seen Ge Bing suffer such a defeat, the other suitors felt lucky. Everyone was glad that they had decided to team up and fight, as such, they only had a few of their bones broken and suffered a certain degree of internal injuries.

Compared to what Ge Bing had suffered, they had fared far better.

All suitors had great discerning eyes. A human body had a total of two hundred and six bones. In that short moment, where Ge Bing was swept by those tsunami-like palms, at least a hundred and fifty bones of his had been broken.

Had Butler Hou not lent his assistance, he would have lost his life from the remnant energy after smashing into the ground.

Meanwhile, Qin Fen moved his wrist and stopped the usage of the biochemical beast before withdrawing his true energy into his dantian. His height that had increased by five centimeters before also decreased.

“I said…” Qin Fen focused his gaze at the fainted Ge Bing before sweeping his gaze at the other suitors. “My fist can break the sky.”

His calm and poised voice showed his matchless confidence.

Having noticed the expression in Qin Fen’s eyes when he glanced at them, an emotion called fear rose into the hearts of a few suitors.

Once again, Qin Fen transferred his gaze at Butler Hou’s figure as a bit of apologetic look emerged on his face. “Apologies, I have knocked all the suitors down. I presume Earth Martial God’s granddaughter would not be given to someone who could not even defeat me, right?”

Butler Hou’s face, on the other hand, was full of smiles. He sized up Qin Fen once more. Although this young man had an apologetic look on his face, his eyes were filled with a smug look the entire time.

Butler Hou gave a light applaud. “Kid, I will be reporting everything that happened here to the Lord. You better be prepared.”

Having given a beating to all ten suitors present here, Qin Fen had long thrown caution to the wind. He simply didn’t care whether Song Wendong would come looking for trouble. In fact, it would be impossible for a man of his stature to directly make a move on a junior!

Butler Hou took out his mobile and made a call. Right then, a swish was suddenly heard coming from Song Jia’s room on the second floor as the sound of something tearing through the air entered everyone’s ears.

Immediately, goosebumps exploded all over Qin Fen’s body as he turned around and fired a Soaring Cannon, smashing the peanut flying at him into pieces.

As Qin Fen had fired the punch in a hurry, the physical strength applied on it was in a very weakened state. As such, Qin Fen’s fist felt sore, as if he wasn’t blasting a small and fragile peanut but rather a ball of steel.

BOOM!

The peanut fragmented into pieces before they were smashed into nothing. In that very instant, two swishing sounds came from above as two peanuts tore through the air.

Qin Fen raised his head as he sighed in his heart, again and again. The man who was firing the peanuts was indeed his father-in-law, Song Zhenting.

The two peanuts arrived before him almost at the same time. At this instant, with Qin Fen’s fist still in pain, he recovered his grip completely. In a hurry, Qin Fen lunged his left leg before making a horizontal sweep with his right elbow, knocking down the two peanuts immediately.

As a matter of fact, Qin Fen couldn’t avoid them. Even if Qin Fen and Song Zhenting were separated by a certain distance, Qin Fen had noticed Song Zhenting’s intentions from his eyes; he could smash the peanuts into pieces, but he absolutely could not avoid them!

If he dodged them, he could forget ever mentioning Song Jia’s matter.

Just after two peanuts, another four peanuts came tearing through the air.

Qin Fen was suddenly having a headache. He could not understand what this father-in-law was thinking. Why was he testing him again and again?

Turning the Tri-Lotus Palm into Quad-Lotus Palm, Qin Fen smashed the four peanuts fired by Song Zhenting into pieces.

Six…eight…twelve…

Holding the plate of peanuts, Song Zhenting’s face turned gloomy. Also, as time went by, the peanuts fired became faster and stronger.

As Song Zhenting wasn’t able to figure out Qin Fen’s protective divine art from his recent fight with Ge Bing, he had to take action personally now.

In the beginning, Qin Fen was still able to receive the peanuts with his punches alone. But as the peanuts fired by Song Zhenting became more and more rapid, he had no choice but to use his fists and elbows, only then was he able to deal with those peanuts that were even faster than shots from an assault rifle.

Watching the peanuts shot by him getting blocked by Qin Fen completely, Song Zhenting’s face grew uglier and uglier.

In the beginning, he only wanted to figure out what protective divine art Qin Fen was actually using. But until now, he didn’t get to see what his protective divine art was. And now, all the peanuts shot by him had been blocked.

Furious, Song Zhenting added a bit more power to the peanuts. Now, instead of using his fingers to flick the peanuts, he directly grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plates and rained them down on Qin Fen.

For a moment, swishing sounds could be heard to no end. At the sight of this, Song Jia was also terrified. She immediately turned around and hugged Song Zhenting’s arm. “Daaaadddddd…”

She dragged her shout for a bit longer, calming down Song Zhenting a bit. As such, a handful of peanuts were finally not thrown for the second time.

Even though Song Zhenting had stopped throwing the peanuts, Qin Fen was still in a miserable state. After the fierce battle, he had long exhausted seventy to eighty percent of his physical strength. In fact, even if he was in his heyday, it begged the question of whether he could still defend against those endless peanuts raining down on him, let alone now, when he had already exhausted most of his strength.

No matter how Qin Fen wanted to defend, he couldn’t block them completely; all he could do was use his body to take them head-on. Twenty-some peanuts struck various parts of his body, making him feel that he was shot in some battlefield.

Just twenty-some peanuts made him retreat, again and again. Had he not have a breath of air still remaining in his lungs, he would not have been able to stand until now. He felt like the protective true energy in his body was being smashed apart.

The doubtful look in Song Zhenting’s eyes grew even more. The last endless rain of peanuts indeed has smashed Qin Fen’s protective divine art apart. That should be the Golden Bell Shield.

Yet, it seemed that his protective divine art wasn’t broken. Because after the Golden Bell Shield’s True Energy had been broken, there was still another protective divine art present which received all the peanuts.

Double-layer protective divine art? Song Zhenting was very suspicious. How could this possibly appear on a five-star martial artist who had just entered the meteor level?

Qin Fen’s entire body was sore to the point that he was shaking. On the other hand, the suitors who were violently beaten by Qin Fen felt super-refreshed as well as surprised.

They felt refreshed because this overbearing, invincible young man finally got to know the pain of a beating.

What they were surprised about was that those peanuts were thrown by the son of Earth Martial God, Song Wendong. Even though he had suppressed his strength when he made his move, it was still incomparably shocking. Had they struck a boulder, it would presumably be split apart, let alone a human body.

Nonetheless, a young man, who had exhausted seventy to eighty percent of his strength, actually withstood those strikes and yet didn’t fall down.

The suitors could not help but wonder what kind of strict training Qin Fen bears.

With all his strength, Lin Liqiang gave an applaud before he strode towards Qin Fen and shouted in a loud voice, “Old Qin, you rocked! Completely rocked! The money we earned from today’s fight must be divided!”

Earned money? Qin Fen was taken aback for a moment. The fight just now was for snatching his wife, what did it have to do with earning money…?

As Qin Fen’s gaze fell upon the suitors lying on the ground, his eyes immediately lit up brightly.

All these people used to be in Lin Liqiang’s circle. If they were defeated, they would not only lose their reputation, their status in their respective families might also suffer some changes.

Lin Liqiang, brushing past by Qin Fen, squatted down before the suitors.

Looking incomparably sad, he said, “Everyone, you all know me, what’s good, what’s bad. My big mouth…can not be changed!”

Shaking his head while dragging his words, an evil smile appeared on Lin Liqiang’s face, giving chills to the young suitors.

“Young Master Lin, we know you are short on money.” Oliver heaved a sigh. “Speak your price.”

Lin Liqiang clapped with all his strength once more before he raised his thumb and simply spoke one word, “Tactful!”

The suitors could only smile bitterly. Is this the right time to be tactful?

“Young man.”

Butler Hou, hanging up the call, gave a smile that gave chills even to Qin Fen.

“My Lord is already aware of your conduct. He very much appreciates your way of doing things.”

From Butler Hou’s voice, Qin Fen could not feel the slightest trace of appreciative feelings. On the contrary, it felt like he had touched the tail of a tiger, and the tiger was about to get angry.

“Therefore…” Butler Hou heaved a long sigh. “My Lord said that all the trials of suitor would be altered a bit. Anyone who can beat you will be considered to have passed the first round. Therefore, I am afraid you will be very busy in the future.”
