"Baengnokdam Destroyed, Hallasan Shattered. The Korean Martial God, Bae Seong-Joon was Killed in the Duel! Divine Boxing Destroys Neo Taekwondo!"

"The Martial Dao Master of the Neo Kyokushin Karate, Kyokushin Kouten was also Killed in the Duel! With the Defeat of the Sect-masters of Two Major Sects, the Popularity of Divine Boxing is Rising Swiftly Like a Comet!"

"With a Display of Power, the Mysterious Divine Boxing Defeated Two Major Sects Swiftly."

In less than a day, the websites related to martial dao within the federation were filled with the headlines of Bae Seong-Joon and Kyokushin's defeat and death.

In the evening, newspapers across the world placed the news of their defeat on the headlines on the front page. Some papers even extended this news piece toward the second and third section of the paper.

The demise of two martial dao masters wouldn't have occupied such a huge section of the newspaper under normal circumstances, but the commentary that followed after from martial dao commentators across the world about the demise of the martial dao masters had made it so. Apart from their speculation on the defeat of both masters, the commentators were more interested in the speculation of what Divine Boxing actually was, and what kind of sect it was.

Behind this Divine Boxing sect, what forces were supporting it all along?

Few people did not believe that the origin of this mysterious Divine Boxing was that simple. More people were wondering if Qilin was unhappy with the rapid development of Neo Taekwondo and Neo Karate that encroached upon the Earth martial god's territory, therefore sending an unknown disciple under the name of Divine Boxing to dismantle the two major powers.

Qin Fen's name wasn't displayed valiantly on the newspapers within the federation unlike the title of Divine Boxing. This was a mutual agreement between several divine beast martial artists within the federation. If a martial dao artist of the master level does not wish to reveal his or her personal information such as the name and appearance, no media in the federation would be allowed to disclose said information.

Qin Fen was injured in the fierce battle and returned to Tianbei City without making any actual contact with the media. At the same time, various speculations about Divine Boxing gave many martial dao commentators space for imagination to speculate further.

Across the State of Korea, white banners were hung at the front of every home. The heavy atmosphere of sorrow and depression filled the streets and cities.

From the television, images of the destruction of the peak of the Hallasan were replayed repeatedly, bringing more people to tears.

With the defeat of the Korean Martial God and the collapse of the peak of the Hallasan, two great pride symbols of the State of Korea disappeared overnight. The whole nation fell into mourning, as young people strapped strips of white cloth on their foreheads, walking silently into their martial arts halls and practicing techniques of Neo Taekwondo quietly.

Crying can only help in venting their emotions and nothing else. We can only regain our lost national pride and glory when we become stronger in martial dao! Neo Taekwondo of the State of Korea will not die as long as there are still Koreans alive on this earth! There was a glimmer of hope within the eyes of these young Korean martial artists.

The new Aikido from the State of Japan had expanded rapidly in just a day, annexing most of the Kyokushin Style karate dojos. The remaining Neo Kyokushin Karate dojos were also struggling to survive.

Most of the martial dao powers among the citizens didn't know the person behind Divine Boxing. However, among the circle of the martial dao masters, Qin Fen's name spread across the circle like a whirlwind to the ears of most martial dao masters.

A fledgling young martial dao master who was not over twenty years old managed to kill two martial dao masters within a day! Both opponents were also sixteen-star class martial dao masters that underwent the fusion of the level four biochemical beast.

Qin Fen held the morning paper and lamented for Kyokushin Kouten. That day during the battle of Hallasan, Hatoyama Kazuo displayed support for Kyokushin Kouten as a Japanese compatriot.

Right now, just shortly after the death of Kyokushin Kouten, Hatoyama Kazuo took over Kouten's territory immediately without hesitation. Qin Fen sighed, thinking how birds of a feather flock together.

After a night of healing, Qin Fen recovered his body rapidly with the help of medicine, mystical art, and the biochemical beast.

When the sun rose from the horizon, Qin Fen's body had almost recovered completely, with only some tiny meridians in his body remaining blocked.

Qin Fen had a general understanding of the current situation, and once again began meditating on his knees to clean up the clogged tiny meridians in his body.

After stepping into the realm of martial dao masters, Qin Fen had a deep understanding of the meridian in subtle areas. These meridians, which were usually inconspicuous, would cause harm to the body after a long time without cleaning. Apart from bringing upon illness, it might also impede the progress of martial dao.

The world of martial dao never lacked prodigies. Occasionally a prodigy may suddenly emerge, only to fade into mediocrity. This wasn't because they weren't talented in martial dao, but rather because they accumulated various inner and well-hidden injuries during their battles. The accumulation of these injuries would then impede their progress if they were not treated in time.

It took Qin Fen four hours to unclog the tiny meridians in his body to ensure that his True Qi Energy was flowing throughout his body smoothly. He then fell into deep thought afterward.

Recalling the battle of Hallasan and Baengnokdam, Qin Fen began to frown deeply. Although he went on a path of martial dao that was the stagnating divine dao, his path wasn't a path of an uneducated peasant.

Recalling the moment after he killed Kyokushin Kouten and roared at Hatoyama Kazuo, although it was at the heat of the moment, the very action was indeed insulting and arrogant.

"Is it because I knew that I had someone to fall back on, with Master Sakra on the scene?" Qin Fen shook his head gently, "No, there was no such idea at the time. It was just the feeling of battle intent within the body increasing rapidly, causing the rise of True Qi Energy that led to the thought of challenging the neo Aikido right after."

Qin Fen closed the eyes and sat down quietly, concentrated on recalling the battle at Hallasan that day. As the battle progressed, he reached the part where he faced Hatoyama Kazuo quickly.

Similarly, Qin Fen found that he was in a greatly damaged state at the time. However, his battle intent remained at its peak, as the biochemical beast that was deeply rooted within him became unusually active than ever. The beasts seemed to have extreme stimulus toward battle intent.

"This is…"

Qin Fen opened his eyes and looked at his hands that were raising slowly. He finally found the reason behind his reckless battle pride on that day. It was from the biochemical beast!

Like a rhizome, the biochemical beast was entrenched into his cells to imitate the meridian. During the battle, the beast seemed to be injecting stimulants repeatedly into the cells to keep him going.

Qin Fen also found that the speed of recovery of his own injury after the battle was far beyond his own calculations. According to the biochemical beast's level two fusion data, the level two fusion biochemical beast might have a certain regenerative treatment ability, but the ability was relatively slow.

However, the help of the God-Demon Body in recovering the injured body was really amazing. Although incomparable to the biochemical beast level four's extreme regenerative ability, it still far exceeded the official statistical data provided.

Besides the speed of recovery, the pressure that the bionic meridian could withstand… Qin Fen had to admit that his God-Demon body had exceeded the usual statistical expectations.

During the fierce battle with Kyokushin Kouten, Qin Fen had initially planned to use all his power without regard to the consequences, to mortally injure Kouten under the advantageous position Qin Fen held to defeat him.

"God-Demon Body, wasn't without its side effects as Lin Shao claimed." Qin Fen laid on his bed, "The boost may be able to stimulate the user to fight more ferociously, but the downside of the boost is also obvious. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the stimulation, to the point…"

Qin Fen clenched his fists and stretched his body, "During yesterday's battle, I fought like a mad demon like those seen on television. This God-Demon body may help me in improving my Divine Boxing powers when I'm conscious, allowing me to display my demonic side at later stages of the fight… my demonic side…"

Qin Fen closed his eyes again and asked himself, "Is my martial dao limited only to the divine dao?"

"What do you think?" The voice of the master rang across Qin Fen's mind for the second time he was awake.

"Master?" Qin Fen sat up straight and asked, "Did you just say…"

"I didn't say anything, nothing at all." The sound of the elegant voice of the master was a few paces faster than usual, "I can only give you advice on martial arts techniques, but martial dao is unique for everyone. Its formation is dependent on fate, personality, changes in the surrounding environment. For example that guy of heaven-breaking level, he went on the God-defying path of martial dao and underwent several changes in martial dao to achieve a level above ordinary men."

"Heaven-breaker level? God-defying martial dao?" Qin Fen stared blankly at the wooden floor below his bed, "Master, you've mentioned many times about the heaven-breaker level expert, why did he never appear?"

"It's very simple." The master's elegant voice carried a teasing tone, "You are not good enough. You still lack something, which is converting energy into element."

Qin Fen was slightly shocked. He had never heard of such eccentric words since he started training in the Sacred Martial Hall.

"Converting energy into element is the transformation of your True Qi Energy in your body into its real elements." Master's unique and elegant voice once again sounded in Qin Fen's mind at a slow pace, "Martial dao is always concerned with the change in quality and quantity. Now you can exert your True Qi Energy to the point where you can accumulate to its limit without battle, which will form a visible aura shield that protects your body externally."

Qin Fen nodded lightly. During the battle of Hallasan, as he raised his own strength to the limit, he noticed that he was surrounded by a visible circle of True Qi Energy. It was as if he was given a pair of wings to soar in the skies.

"The conversion is divided into three steps: the condensation of Qi Energy, the insertion of aura shield, and converting energy into element." The master continued to share his profound knowledge, "Now you can channel your True Qi Energy into a spirit-like gas, but there is still a distance to convert energy into an element. The aura shield is the improved form of True Qi Energy. Its cohesiveness and lethality are far above the True Qi Energy. When you were fighting with full strength, you converted your True Qi Energy into aura shield inadvertently. And that is the secret of your success over both martial dao masters. But this is not enough, the instinctive transformation was only the basics…"

Qin Fen closed his eyes and there was a picture of True Qi Energy flowing in his mind. It was the process picture of converting energy into element sent by the master through his special methods.

As he "looked" at the picture of converting energy into element, Qin Fen recalled the scenes of yesterday's battle. The True Qi Energy within his body began to flow little by little.

The battle at Hallasan was not only a big leap in the martial dao circle for Qin Fen but also a major improvement in his spirit and comprehensiveness.

The combat experience with martial dao masters was precious. The two consecutive dueling experiences were far more valuable than any duel elsewhere. It was a situation that many martial dao masters would not encounter in their lifetime.

Qin Fen was fortunate. Consecutively fighting two martial dao masters that were also founders of their respective sects and achieving the final victory. The experience gained from these battles could not be described by numbers.

As he landed the killing blow to his opponent that were also martial dao masters, Qin Fen could feel the life experiences of his opponent clearly. The brilliant and beautiful life of martial dao seemed to have been imprinted in his mind deeply.

Experiencing the life experience of the person you killed might seem nonsensical. However, Qin Fen could only use such nonsensical descriptions to describe his moment of victory, where he could feel the sorrow and joy from his opponents' lives clearly.

"Eh?"

In the living room outside Qin Fen's bedroom, Hashimoto Nagashiro looked with amazement as he looked at the door of Qin Fen's bedroom curiously. His thick lips muttered to himself, "Weird, why can I feel an improvement in his martial dao again?"

Converting energy into element! Qin Fen passed the baptism of the Sahara, two consecutive duels with two martial dao masters, and the experience of crossing the Hallasan! He had also fulfilled the conditions of his foundational basics.

Without the guidance of a master, Qin Fen still needed some time to experience, train in isolation and discover. Now there was one less step to worry about, and Qin Fen meditated for two hours before opening his eyes suddenly and waving his left hand lightly.

Kyokushin Genichi looked at Qin Fen's bedroom, puzzled, as he heard sounds of thunder coming out from Qin Fen's bedroom.

Kyokushin Genichi might be confident in causing a thunderous explosion in the air with True Qi Energy, but causing one without the use of True Qi Energy? Even Hashimoto Nagashiro admitted that he couldn't do it.

With sufficient accumulation, it would resemble an arsenal. The guidance of the master would then be the small fireball that detonated the gunpowder within the arsenal.

In just two hours, he entered the point where he could convert energy to element. Qin Fen finally realized an idiom he had learned for a long time yet couldn't truly understand, it was just a matter of course!

"To convert energy to element is to bring the aura shield outside the body into the bones until you can't see a trace of spirit outside your body." The master's voice once again rang across elegantly, "It's somewhat to similar in going back to the basics."

Qin Fen smiled and shook his head. Breaking two realms in one day?

Qin Fen closed his eyes and observed the projection provided by the master. Qin Fen entered a state of meditation once again, as he strived to absorb the aura shield outside into his body.

An hour… Qin Fen opened his eyes with a forced smile. It was really impossible to have an impact at such a quick pace. Fortunately, I had attained at least some experience during the impact process, therefore it's not a complete loss.

Qin Fen left the bedroom again, leaving Kyokushin Genichi and Hashimoto Nagashiro sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Sakra ensured that Qin Fen's body had recovered to a condition well enough for him to defend himself before sending him away. As an honor seat of the Sacred Martial Hall, Sakra knew very well that it was time for Qin Fen to carve his own path. A little care from a master should be provided, but not to the point of overprotection, which may cause him to go astray from his personality and path of martial dao.

"Young man, you…" Hashimoto Nagashiro got up and moved his fat but incomparably flexible body to Qin Fen. He patted Qin Fen's back and chest with his big palms and eyed him for a while, before exclaiming, "You really took another step forward on martial dao."

Qin Fen grinned and scratched his head. Looking at the enthusiastic yet forthright Hashimoto Nagashiro, Qin Fen smiled bitterly and replied, "If Hashimoto went through two intense duels consecutively like me, I am pretty sure that you would also have a rapid improvement in martial dao."

"Theoretically that may be true." Hashimoto Nagashiro shook his huge head that was twice the size of Qin Fen's, "But your progress is too fast. Even if I were to experience what you went through, I still need to rest and recover for a month or two before moving on."

"Of course!" Hashimoto Nagashiro sighed again, "Although I am also obsessed with martial dao, martial dao is not always just gambling. In fact, observing from different angles, you can also find the moving side of martial dao. Your desperate way to improve isn't suitable for everyone, and may not necessarily go well for you in the future, for the luck of man is finite.

Qin Fen nodded in agreement. After experiencing the baptism from the Sahara, I learned to observe martial dao from different perspectives to experience the beauty of martial dao. If martial dao can only be experienced by killing people, the world would be a mess by now with that many martial dao masters in the world.

"Oh, it seems that you already know how to observe from other perspectives." Hashimoto Nagashiro smiled and shook his huge head repeatedly., "You are really a freak, achieving such power at a young age. There was also that kid with a katana called Xue Tian that left recently. He is also a freak."

Qin Fen nodded in strong agreement with Hashimoto Nagashiro's evaluation of Xue Tian, that kid was really a freak!

"Right." Hashimoto Nagashiro stretched out his fat index finger, "Don't you think that just because I entered the realm of martial dao master earlier than you that everything I think will be right. Don't just obey and give up your character. Every road under each person's feet is different. Your martial dao has the aura of power of the long river. If you face a challenge and retreat, perhaps the martial dao will not improve anymore."

Qin Fen looked at Hashimoto Nagashiro and felt that he was really lucky. Regardless of whether his words were correct or not, at least he treats me as a friend.

A phone call interrupted Qin Fen's thoughts. He looked down on his phone and found that it was from a strange phone number.
