Huala… huala…

The waves hit on the beach repeatedly, with each of the waves blooming then disappearing on the golden sands.

Kyokushin Genichi was surprised to see Qin Fen walking out of the sea. Among this group of martial artists who entered the sea, he has the strongest strength. How could he be the first to walk out of the sea? That is…!?

Kyokushin Genichi raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. He couldn’t believe what he saw behind Qin Fen. Something was being dragged by Qin Fen out from the sea.

Silver shark? Kyokushin Genichi sat upright. His eyes widened to a size never seen before. This was one of the overlord creatures of the sea, Silver Shark! That’s right! With a body length of nearly twenty meters, its weight should be at least fifteen tons?

This… this…

Kyokushin Genichi took in several deep breaths in a row, trying to calm the horror in his heart. It was a completely different concept to be in the sea and on land.

If the martial artist’s combat power on land was a ten, it would already be considered strong if he could exert a combat power of a three under the sea.

Silver Shark was one of the tyrants in the ocean. It had a body length of twenty meters and a weight of fifteen tons. If its copper skin was to transform into a terrestrial creature, it could definitely kill ten-star martial artists easily! It would be even stronger when it was a marine life! A twelve-star martial artist would choose to run away when he or she encountered this creature in the sea.

A sea tyrant as such actually died? Kyokushin Genichi looked at the half-naked Qin Fen who stopped moving and stood by the waters. He muttered, “Is this real?”

Qin Fen turned back and looked at the Silver Shark lying in the sand. He was using the buoyancy of the sea to add to his own strength, which was why he could drag the fifteen-ton giant out from the sea. But when he came to the surface of the sea, the dead body dragging on the sand caused the body to become heavier.

Kyokushin Genichi stood in front of Qin Fen and stared blankly at the twenty-meter long behemoth. The Silver Shark’s head had a basin-sized blood hole. One could also see through its hard skin and see its bones that were more solid than steel.

The bones shone with a somewhat dazzling light under the sunlight. These were not bones that were simply composed of calcium. There were also strong metallic elements in it.

Kyokushin Genichi did not have the spirit of a scientist who would investigate the sudden emergence of mutant creatures. He only wanted to know how powerful the fist that was used to break the Silver Shark’s brain was.

Whenever an object was bombarded in the sea, the power would dissipate due to the seawater.

Kyokushin Genichi looked at the head of the Silver Shark and had a strange feeling. The moment the sea tyrant was hit, its skull had already shattered without having the time to wait for the buffering of water to reduce the strength.

Kyokushin Genichi turned his neck quickly, and his eyes turned back to look at Qin Fen’s hand. This fist did not suffer the slightest damage after smashing the sturdy Silver Shark’s skull?

“Master…” Kyokushin Genichi was tempted to ask, “Were you injured?”

“Injured?” Qin Fen smiled and moved the five fingers on his right hand that was used to shatter the Silver Shark’s skull gently, “My hands were feeling a bit numb when I first killed it. Now, I feel nothing at all. Haha, my kung fu is still bad. The true energy could still travel in my bones earlier, but it couldn’t move freely.”

The true energy was traveling in the bones? Kyokushin Genichi felt a sharp chill on his body, and his eyes were twitching repeatedly. He had only heard of true energy traveling in the meridian, and that high-strength martial artist could move their true energy in the blood to form a mutual stimulation between the true energy and the blood. He had never heard that anyone’s true energy traveling in the bones.

Kyokushin Genichi had once considered how powerful it would be if he could merge his true energy with his bones to form the movement of true energy through the bones.

Kyokushin Genichi had done this kind of experiment countless times.

However, every time his bones faced the invasion of true energy, it would produce a reaction like how rubber reacted when met with an electric current. It was like a complete insulator of true energy; there was no way the true energy could enter it.

“This is nothing to be shocked about.” Qin Fen patted on Kyokushin Genichi’s shoulders, “Martial dao is so vast. All you need to do is to complete the Nirvana Marrow Transformation and enter the Great Inborn realm. Naturally, you would be able to move your true energy in the bone marrow. As long as you work hard, I believe you can do it too.”

“Great Inborn? Nirvana Marrow Transformation?” Kyokushin Genichi looked at Qin Fen, puzzled, “Master, what is that? Didn’t you reach the realm of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth? Why are you suddenly talking about things that I can’t understand at all?”

Qin Fen sat on the body of the Silver Shark and tapped the position next to him, indicating Kyokushin Genichi to sit down and said, “In fact, Great Inborn Nirvana Marrow Transformation is another kind of realm. True energy can only move in the meridian at first. As the strength increases, it can gradually swim in the blood and stimulate the blood as a special kind of complement, but this is not the ultimate goal of martial dao.”

Kyokushin Genichi nodded slowly. He had only heard of the realm of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth. He had only vaguely felt that this was not the ultimate realm of martial dao. Today, it was confirmed by his master.

Qin Fen held the body of the Silver Shark with both his hands and looked up at the blue sky, “After our predecessors’ exploration of martial dao, they gradually discovered another realm after the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, which is my current Nirvana Marrow Transformation. The true energy would no longer be attached to the surface of the bone. Instead, it would be integrated completely with the bone to form an organic whole…”

“The bones can really…” Kyokushin Genichi was both surprised and happy. It turned out that his previous guess was correct, it’s just that this seemed to be extremely difficult.

“Haha… in fact, Nirvana Marrow Transformation is still not the highest realm.” Qin Fen’s legs kicked the body of the Silver Shark lightly, like a child sitting on a large rock and kicking freely, “Meridian, blood, muscles, and bones. I can only combine my true energy with either one of them now. After completing Nirvana Marrow Transformation, I can say that after I have completed all the single steps of these four steps, I will still have a long way to go. Plus…”

“Marrow Transformation?” Yang Lie flipped his wet hair as he swam out from under the water. His eyes were full of a disbelief shock, “Qin Fen, your true energy can really move in the bones already? This… what is this? Silver Shark? Did you kill it?”

Yang Lie floated on the water, and his eyes were staring at Qin Fen. Was it because I stayed in the sea for too long? Did it cause hypoxia? Is that why I have an auditory hallucination? As well as a visual illusion? A ten-star martial artist has completed the Nirvana Marrow Transformation of fourteen-star martial artists? And has already entered the Great Inborn realm?

“Yes, I have completed the Marrow Transformation.” Qin Fen raised his hand and scratched his head. He had intended to keep a low profile. He just didn’t expect that his martial senses would be interfered with by the aura of power of the sea, leading him to not notice that Yang Lie was coming out from the sea. Yang Lie’s progression was also not small, otherwise, he should not be able to escape the detection of his martial senses just because of the interference of the sea.

“Really!?”

Yang Lie jumped out of the water. His two beautiful eyes were like machine guns, looking up and down quickly at Qin Fen’s body.

Marrow transformation! Yang Lie had forgotten the problem of the Silver Shark. He couldn’t get over Qin Fen’s completion of the Nirvana Marrow Transformation and the shock that Qin Fen had already entered the Great Inborn.

“Is it true…” Caesar rested his arms on his hips as he got out from the surface of the water. His face was not showing shock, but frustration, “Qin Fen, are you human? All of us tried so hard to complete the Blood Transfusion Rebirth to get into the realm of Real Inborn. We haven’t even had the time to be happy and proud, and you have already completed the Nirvana Marrow Transformation?”

“Nirvana Marrow Transformation? Oh my God…” Brooks also popped his head out of the water and gave a long sigh, “Qin Fen, you are only ten-stars! You need to be a peak fourteen-star martial artist to be qualified to complete the Nirvana Marrow Transformation. How did you do it? I really don’t know if I am lucky or unlucky to be with you.”

There was a water column that spurted out suddenly from the surging surface of the sea. It was as though a small whale had floated out of the sea to breathe. Solomon’s body broke through the water, and his eyes flashed with confidence and joy. Solomon could also do what Caesar could do!

At the same time the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth was completed, Solomon has also entered the ranks of ten-star martial artists! The depressed feelings in his heart these days were finally dissipated with a shivering scream from his throat!

Brooks rubbed his forehead and sighed while glaring at Solomon who was full of confidence, and looked like he wanted to fight with Qin Fen to see how strong he was. “Solomon, you just entered the realm of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, I should congratulate you. However, I need to knock you down now. Qin Fen has completed the Great Inborn Nirvana Marrow Transformation.”

…

The excitement on Solomon’s face became stiff instantly. He looked at Caesar who was not too far away. This genius comrade that was also from Europe was also looking at him while nodding with a helpless smile.

Solomon lifted his right hand expressionlessly, and gave praise with his thumbs up, “You are really strong.”

Other young people could only smile and nod their heads. This news was not only amazing, it was also too overwhelming!

Caesar sighed again. “No wonder… no wonder I can’t even take a shot from you. Great Inborn Nirvana Marrow Transformation, haha…”

“It’s still not smooth enough.” Qin Fen patted the Silver Shark that was sitting down, “If my true energy and bones are a hundred percent fused, my hands should not have felt anything when I smashed its head just now.”

No one could laugh upon hearing Qin Fen’s answer. To have his protective cultivation arts and bones to be completely integrated? One could be called a martial master when he or she had achieved that kind of realm.

Of course, even a peak sixteen-star-class martial artist would not necessarily be able to integrate the cultivation arts with the bones fully.

“Freak… you are really a freak.” Caesar came next to the dead Silver Shark and looked up at Qin Fen who was sitting on the Silver Shark’s back, “After the Recruit Tournament, many people have called you Qin Fen the Freak. It seems that they did not give you the wrong nickname. Your martial dao path is completely different from a normal martial dao progress. The realm you have reached is almost the point of a master, yet your strength is only ten-stars. I doubt that there are many twelve-star martial artists who could be your opponent if you were to really fight.”

“Freak.”

Solomon nodded with approval, and the outstanding young martial artists were also affected and nodded their heads.

“Freak?” Qin Fen jumped off the Silver Shark and shook his head, “I am not alone. Xue Tian had completed Nirvana Marrow Transformation recently too.”

“Sh*t!”

Solomon, who spoke very little usually, had spoken for the third time today, and he even said something in a direct manner that no one had expected. This sentence, however, was indeed very in line with the inner thoughts of many young martial artists.

A freak like Qin Fen was enough to crush people. They didn’t expect that there would be two such freaks appearing! Were they trying to stop others from practicing martial arts?

Qin Fen leaned against the Silver Shark, “I also have images of the Nirvana Marrow Transformation. If you are interested, you can try it.”

“Yeah?”

Everyone burst with excitement. Under these people’s gaze, Qin Fen felt that he was not standing in the sea, but was being stared at by countless greedy wolves in a deep forest.

“I have to first make a statement.” Qin Fen shrugged, “Nirvana Marrow Transformation is completely different from Blood Transfusion Rebirth. I have calculated that if I wasn’t so badly hit that my body became in a very special situation, I would not feel the presence and control of the bone marrow in the state of a ten-star martial artist. If you guys can’t feel it but want to complete the Nirvana Marrow Transformation, perhaps you would have to challenge a divine beast martial artist and let him hit you or even kill you.”

A hit from a divine beast? Caesar’s smile was very weak, Why would a divine beast hit anyone without a reason? And to a point that is just enough to hurt someone and not kill that person? Which divine beast martial artist hasn’t killed a large number of people?

“However, I don’t recommend it.” Qin Fen looked very dignified, “After the body is abolished, you may not be able to recover even if the Nirvana Marrow Transformation is successful.”

Yang Lie walked back and forth around the wound on the Silver Shark’s head. While he was looking at the damage that was caused by the dragon cannon, he said, “Why is it so complicated? If we can’t feel it, then just wait until we are fourteen-stars. I’ve never heard of anyone among the world’s divine beast martial artists being a freak like Qin Fen. With the help of the images, we can upgrade just a little slower than Qin Fen. But compared to the others? Haha…”

Everyone laughed together. If they used the normal way to rush all the way up, they would not necessarily be weaker than Qin Fen in the end. It was also not impossible to catch up with Qin Fen.

“This punch…” Yang Lie reached out and touched the skull of the Silver Shark. He said, “What a knack! Qin Fen, is this your new fist technique creation?”

“Yeah.” Qin Fen also came to the front of the Silver Shark’s skull, “Third style of Martial Emperor Dragon Fist, Dragon Cannon.”

“Dragon Cannon?” Yang Lie gave a thumbs up, “Interesting! This movement is used for group assault, right? If you encounter a situation like last time again, you can probably break through and defeat the leader of the opponent, right?”

Qin Fen nodded approvingly. They have been exchanging martial dao experience these days, and Yang Lie was also practicing Dragon Fist. With his martial arts training, it was not too strange that he was able to judge the way of this move just from the wound.

Caesar patted the body of the Silver Shark, “Qin Fen, did you kill this thing and drag it out of the sea to show off? What other thoughts do you have?”

“Of course it’s is to eat it.” Qin Fen took it for granted, “I have seen some information before that included an introduction of Silver Sharks. It is a variant creature, but one’s genes will not mutate after eating it. Also, its meat is more delicious than a pufferfish and its body is non-toxic. It is only because it is too fierce, too sturdy, and difficult to capture that only a few people can eat it.”

“More delicious than pufferfish?” Kyokushin Genichi swallowed his saliva repeatedly. The State of Japan was particularly fond of fish because of its geographical area. Every year, there were incidents where people died because they ate toxic pufferfish by accident just because they wanted to taste the deliciousness of pufferfish.

Caesar looked at Qin Fen strangely, This person is really a freak! Everyone took the time to practice martial arts on their normal days. He was practicing guns, mobile armor, and was even engaged in combat aircraft with various special forces. Now it seems that he even has other knowledge. Where does this person’s time and energy come from?

Genius! This is a real genius! Little Dragon King Yang Lie admired Qin Fen and his heart judged secretly. Qin Fen, this person learns things at a speed that is definitely far inferior to Xue Tian. Even if he is compared with me, Caesar or the others, he is not extraordinary. The scariest thing about him is that he can infer other things from one fact and bring forth a new theory from an old one. Others merely learn, but he learns on the basis and then carries out development and deduction.

Brooks kicked the body of the Silver Shark, “I have also heard of this rumor, it’s just that…”

Everyone looked at Brooks curiously, and listened to him asking doubtfully, “Who among us can cook?”

…

Caesar was shaking his head, Yang Lie was shaking his head, and Solomon was also shaking his head. Mourad Tschick, who was always in a semi-hostile state with Qin Fen and couldn’t care less about anything else, was also shaking his head non-stop.

Brooks spread out his hands, “This is a problem, no one can cook. It probably weighs at least a dozen tons…”

“I can.”

Qin Fen’s words caught everyone’s attention again.

“You can?”

“Really?”

“You can even cook?”

“Yeah.” Qin Fen smiled indifferently, “I used to live a tough life. In order to survive, everything had to be done by myself. So I practiced cooking skills for a tad bit. Later I entered the army and learned a little from a drill instructor. I am at least able to cook fish soup.”

“That’s great!” Yang Lie snapped his fingers, “Today, let’s try Qin Fen’s cooking.”

“Master.” Kyokushin Genichi came to him and asked softly, “What materials and tools do you need?”

“A soup pot, a wok…” Qin Fen listed out a lot of materials and tools, and then pointed to Caesar and others, “Look to them for the expenses for the materials and tools.”

Everyone smiled and walked to their clothes. As they were taking out their wallets, they heard the voice of Qin Fen again, “In addition to the expenses for the materials and tools, please remember to pay for the beer last time and the fee for this meal. Thank you.”

They paid, got dressed, and helped drag up the fish.

Qin Fen struggled when he dragged the fifteen-ton Silver Shark alone. But with everyone dragging it together, it became easy.

Kyokushin Genichi purchased everything and began to start the fire for cooking immediately. Everyone exchanged their experiences of practicing their skills under the sea around the campfire.

“Aiyo! It’s better to come on time than to come early!”

Xue Tian’s annoying voice came from not far away. He had a katana hanging on his waist out of nowhere. He didn’t treat himself as an outsider and sat in the crowd, “Hmm… I know it’s good just by smelling it! Old Qin’s cooking is really good.”

As Xue Tian’s hand reached for the spoon in the pot, a lot of palms hit the back of his hand heavily.

Papapa…

The crisp slaps sounded in a row, and Xue Tian looked at everyone blankly, “What?”

Yang Lie and others stared at Xue Tian in a threatening manner, then said in unison, “Pay up!”

…

“You have all been infected by Old Qin!” Xue Tian shouted after being stunned for two seconds.

“Hahaha…”

A burst of laughter that came from the young martial artists who had opened their hearts sounded from the beach under the sky.
