Chapter 245 - Achilles Heel



Chapter 245: Achilles Heel

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Looking at the strings of tournament names on the screen, Qin Fen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was obviously the quota reported by those drill instructors.

“Teacher...” Kyokushin Genichi asked, somewhat worried, “Is this some kind of machine error?”

“It’s not an error.” Remembering the slot timings of each event, Qin Fen collected the magnetic card and shook his head repeatedly, “I really am participating in so many events.”

“Teacher...”

“Find an empty space.”

Qin Fen patted Kyokushin Genichi, asking him to lead the way. For this disciple that he had taken in to be capable enough to survive the attacks of insect warriors, it seems that he had some other strengths besides luck.

In Switzerland, this city wasn’t the most populous area. Sometimes, the floating population here could almost be equal to or even exceed the permanent population.

Having arrived a few days earlier, Kyokushin Genichi had grown relatively familiar with the environment here. Very soon, he found a place with good scenery and devoid of miscellaneous personnel.

Without any instructions from Qin Fen, Kyokushin Genichi started displaying the basic stances of his Neo Kyokushin Karate.

Without the help of internal energy and completely relying on his body muscles, his every kick and punch produced whistling of winds that were much more solid than before.

Qin Fen didn’t say much about it, but rather once again displayed the neo karate basic stances that Kyokushin Genichi had just exercised.

Having finished watching, Kyokushin Genichi heaved a long, powerless sigh. To his surprise, there was such a big gap between the same basic stances.

“Your progress is quite fast. It’s just that your mind is not calm enough.” Qin Fen calmly pointed out. “I asked you to exercise basic stances not because I wanted to make you pay attention to them but rather I wanted you to like them from the bottom of your heart. As for ‘all changes come from the most basic things’, I think you may have heard different things about this sentence, I don’t want to mention it again.”

“Teacher...then, my internal art...”

Kyokushin Genichi wanted to speak but stopped. A few days ago, when he successfully escaped from the insect warriors, he had unexpectedly broken through to the five-star level.

Having separated from the Neo Kyokushin Karate, he was unable to continue the corresponding internal art from the Neo Kyokushin Karate after having broken through from four-star to five-star level. This resulted in him being unable to continue practicing his internal art.

Qin Fen furrowed his brow ever so slightly. Kyokushin Genichi had painstakingly cultivated Neo Kyokushin Karate internal art for many years. A very sturdy foundation had already been laid. Now, if he were to rashly change to other internal arts, it could very easily lead to problems. The only way was to use his current internal art as the foundation and modify it slightly.

If he kept on using the original internal art, perhaps many Kyokushin Style martial artists would look for trouble in the future.

“Well, if you write down your current internal art, I can study it first.”

“This...”

Kyokushin Genichi was somewhat embarrassed. The Federation was very strict about the management of exercises. Only the martial artist who had paid for the exercise promulgated by the Federation could practice it. If one obtained it from other people and was found, his or her martial arts would be immediately abolished by the expert dispatched by the Federation.

The Federation paid great importance to the copyrights of the exercises. At first, many people, who were accustomed to piracy, thought of borrowing or stealing from their friends to practice free exercises. However, the experts dispatched by the Sacred Martial Hall crushed their shoulder blades and abolished their internal arts, making it impossible for them to practice martial arts in their lives ever again.

Although Neo Kyokushin Karate exercise wasn’t an officially published exercise, it belonged to a self-created internal art exercise, the strictness wasn’t as serious as compared to Federation, and the binding force was relatively lesser...

But it was still a very taboo thing to leak the exercise to the others. As per the old saying, it was against the rules of Jianghu.

A reluctant look appeared on Kyokushin Genichi’s face. Only then did he recall the information that he had gathered about Qin Fen. This new master of his lived in a relatively closed space and had never been truly crossed paths with any martial arts sects. Although a sect was created on the battle network, it could be said he was completely layman when it came to the real rules of Jianghu.

“What is it?” Qin Fen looked at Kyokushin Genichi with a strange gaze. “Are you afraid I will be unable to solve it?”

Kyokushin Genichi’s lips lightly twitched twice, and he somewhat regretted his sudden impulse today. Internal art – it wasn’t something that one could create a subsequent exercise to with just a casual look or two. It required considerable martial arts knowledge and experience. Only after repeated trials and tests could one create it bit by bit. Even if the first few levels of the internal art were truly spoken out, it begged the question of...

Kyokushin Genichi, noticing a bit of impatience in Qin Fen’s eyes, suddenly grit his teeth as he threw whatever Jianghu rules to the wind. He could only bet that his vision wasn’t wrong. He had indeed found an otherworldly master! Although Qin Fen may be young and his strength was far away from a grandmaster’s, he had a unique insight into martial arts. He could truly formulate subsequent exercise.

Listening carefully to Kyokushin Genichi stating the cultivation method, Qin Fen’s two eyebrows met on his forehead. This exercise of Kyokushin Genichi was in and of itself, flawed. Furthermore, its design was very simple. It couldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath with Lin Jiaxuan’s Jade Girl Heart Sutra...

“Lin Jiaxuan!? Jade Girl Heart Sutra!?” Suddenly, Qin Fen remembered the airmen he saw on the streets. Then, he recalled promising Lin Jiaxuan that he would create the later exercise for her. “I wonder if she has come here as well.”

Nervous, Kyokushin Genichi’s palms turned sweaty. Qin Fen’s concentrating expression gave him a faint sense of insecurity.

“This exercise of yours is...” Qin Fen constantly clucked his tongue as he shook his head, again and again.

Kyokushin Genichi’s heart began to sink in despair, like the Titanic after having collided with the iceberg. This expression is clearly of powerlessness...

“Terrible.” Qin Fen’s simple conclusion made Kyokushin Genichi completely dumbfounded. He had spent a lot of money to buy this exercise. How could he ever imagine that it would receive such an evaluation?

“When you reached three-star, did your Dazhui* point not hurt at noon?” Qin Fen asked.

“Ah?” Kyokushin Genichi looked at Qin Fen as if he had seen a monster. “Teacher, how...how do you know...”

“Like being stabbed by a red-hot needle?” Qin Fen didn’t answer and continued making his calculations. “For about sixty seconds. When you entered four-star, it extended to about ninety seconds, right? After you entered five-star, you think it will hurt for more than two minutes?”

Kyokushin Genichi was tongue-tied and utterly speechless. Not only had Qin Fen calculated the location and the time of pain, but he could also judge the duration of pain based on star level...

“Yes...yes Teacher...” Kyokushin Genichi vigorously shook his head to sober himself a bit before answering, “At that time, the person who taught me this exercise said that this is the inevitable reaction of the exercise. It could be suppressed by taking medicine. Therefore, when I entered the three-star and four-star level, I always took the medicine and it wasn’t that painful. However, now...”

Having separated from the Neo Kyokushin Karate, he was naturally unable to buy the repressive drugs. As such, the pain had already become everyday torture.

“The person who taught you the exercise also took medicine?”

“He didn’t.” Kyokushin Genichi shook his head, again and again, “He said, as long as my exercise had reached culmination, the pain would naturally disappear.”

Qin Fen raised his hand and touched his chin, his index finger rubbing his chin up and down. “Make a set of defective exercise and sell them. Make up a lie, and you can sell the medicine and make a fortune at the same time. It’s really economical...”

“What...!? Teacher...you mean to say...” Kyokushin Genichi’s hands and feet immediately turned cold. This news gave a huge blow to him.

“That’s right.” Qin Fen’s expression turned serious. “This exercise of yours is truly terrible. Furthermore, it is still an abridged version or maybe a wrong version created on purpose. You will simply be unable to practice it to the point of culmination. When you enter six-star, then, apart from your Dazhui point, your Quchi point will also start to hurt. When you enter eight-star, by my estimate, it will be difficult for you to make even a bit of progress. Four of your acupoints will hurt every day. At that time, you can only spend money to buy drugs to suppress the pain.”

“Can only reach eight-stars?” Kyokushin Genichi remained standing where he was. In his brain, he recalled his senior brother, Shige Sayama, who had reached eight-star level. He had said the same thing as Qin Fen.

“If you forcefully continue to cultivate it, then in less than a decade...” Qin Fen continued in a very firm manner, “Your true energy will break out from your acupuncture points, pierce through your skin and spewed out into the world. At that time, you will become cripple and will be unable to practice martial art for the rest of your life.”

Kyokushin Genichi’s swallowed nervously. He was amazed by the detrimental effects of the exercise and shocked by Qin Fen’s martial arts knowledge.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Kyokushin Genichi would not have believed what he had heard was true. This was the absolute basic level of master-level martial arts!

“Teacher...” Kyokushin Genichi knelt down on the ground with a grunt. “Help me...”

As a martial artist, he knew his martial dao had gone on the wrong road. Not only did Kyokushin Genichi’s hands and feet turn cold, but his scalp was also tingling as well.

“This is not a difficult thing.” Qin Fen raised his hand, gesturing to the other party to stand up. “As long as the subsequent part of the exercise is corrected, naturally, everything will become normal. But...”

Kyokushin Genichi looked at Qin Fen with apprehension. “But” – this was the word he was most afraid of.

“You may have to remain my disciple for your entire life.” Qin Fen looked at Kyokushin Genichi. “You better consider it clearly. You will not only remain my apprentice for the rest of your life, but your life will also be completely restricted by me. If my strength encounters a bottleneck and I am unable to break through, then, you will become stagnant like me.”

While Kyokushin Genichi’s face was filled with confusion, Qin Fen continued speaking, “You have been cultivating this true energy for too long. To be honest, your body has been badly damaged. Even if you use my modified exercise, if I don’t guide your true energy at your every breakthrough in the future, it’s very likely your old wounds will re-emerge. If I reached a bottleneck, I will be unable to help, and naturally, you will also...”

“So it was like this...” Kyokushin Genichi smiled indifferently. “When I chose to leave Kyokushin Style, I had already decided to follow you for my entire life. Besides, my exercise is wrong, and now only you can save me...”

“That’s good, I will give you the exercise tomorrow. Currently, I need to think more thoroughly.” Having finished speaking, Qin Fen suddenly asked, “Right, did that Lin Jiaxuan come here? It was the female pilot who brought you here.”

“She is here.” Kyokushin Genichi nodded hastily. “She was also the one to send us here. I heard that she came here to participate in the air force events of new recruits tournament.”

“She is? That’s great, this time, I will cook all the things in the same pot. It will save me a lot of trouble.”

Kyokushin Genichi looked at the disappearing back of Qin Fen, confused and unable to make heads and tails of Qin Fen’s words.

“Right!” Qin Fen turned his head and pointed at Kyokushin Genichi, “Continue to practice the basics, your basics are terrible.”
