“Please input your login information…”

Qin Fen closed his eyes and listened to the familiar voice. He opened his eyes to look at the virtual administrator of the battle network and entered his account details quickly.

“Please choose your destination…”

Various channels popped out on the huge virtual sky. Main Station Channel, Ring Channel, Mobile Armor Channel, Tank Channel…

“Ring Channel, Free Zone eleven, arena number eleven.”

Qin Fen reported his destination softly, and his heart sighing faintly. Free Zone eleven, arena number eleven used to be the place where he made a living. It was also the place where his martial dao truly began.

Without that prediction of the outcome of the war, without that first-hand experience of a battle for the first time, he would not have had everything he had today, let alone being able to truly pursue the road of martial dao.

The space around the room had a sudden distortion, and Qin Fen had appeared on the spectator seats in arena number eleven of Free Zone eleven.

On the center ring of the arena, two two-star martial artists were fighting fiercely. Qin Fen somewhat couldn’t believe his eyes and blinked forcefully a few times.

Regal Propria! That’s right! The martial artist that used Azure Electric Drive and gained the upper hand in the ring, was indeed Regal Propria! Qin Fen’s first opponent when he stepped onto the road of martial dao!

Still in two-star? Isn’t this star-class progression a bit too slow? Qin Fen frowned slightly. He then shook his head with a smile. It wasn’t just that Regia Propria had progressed too slowly, he himself had progressed too fast in the star-class upgrade. Looking back now, besides that freak Xue Tian and that woman Lin Ling, whose strength was still unknown, the other strong opponents from his recruit camp back in those days had already been left far behind.

A burst of feelings rushed into Qin Fen’s heart. It was true that you wouldn’t know if you didn’t compare. Only when you look back at your previous opponents could you truly realize your progress.

Returning to this place where his dreams originated after less than a year, he found that the people and the things were still the same. Only his own strength had increased to an unimaginable state through a painstaking struggle.

“Regal Propria, win!”

In the sky above the battlefield, the emotionless synthetic sound sounded again, interrupting Qin Fen’s laments.

“Regal Propria, nice victory!”

One martial artist beside Qin Fen’s shouted excitedly, arousing many praises from the audience. A few people not far away discussed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides quietly.

“Is it nice?” There wasn’t much happiness shown on the Regal Propria’s face, but his lips had yet to suppress the happiness in his heart, “I’ve checked yesterday, my body is ready for the three-star Azure Electric Drive operation. Today is my last fight as a two-star.”

“What? Three-star? Congratulations!”

“Regal Propria, you are really fast. With only such time, you are already entering three-star?”

The intonation of the happy praises from Regal Propria’s friends carried no boasts. It was surprise and admiration from the heart.

Qin Fen stood quietly at the side, It was actually this hard to increase from a two-star to a three-star martial artist? Regal Propria’s speed is also called as fast?

“The speed is okay, I suppose.” Regal Propria finally had a happy smile on his face, while his eyes had faint loneliness, “Unfortunately, I am still not fast enough compared to him! I have to work hard! I want to catch up with him soon! I want to defeat him personally! To let him know that I, Regal Propria is not a person with flowery fist and fancy footwork like he said!”

Some of Regal Propria’s friends were silent for a while, everyone knew who he was talking about – Thirty-Six Hours! Sky Martial Battle Network’s famous money-sucking vampire! Regal Propria was fortunate to be his first stepping stone in becoming famous!

There would always be an explosion after a silence. Regal Propria’s few friends once again opened their mouths, “That’s right! Isn’t Thirty-Six Hours’ strength only four-star? All Regal Propria need to do is just practice a little more, rise to four-star and fight against him again.”

“Yeah! He never appeared again ever since he entered four-star. I think that he was no longer able to break through to the next star-class since then, and therefore he lost honor and hid! As long as Regal Propria rises to the four-star level…”

“That’s right!” Regal Propria swung his fist in the air, “I want to fight back! Thirty-Six Hours, just you wait! I must… you are…!”

Regal Propria’s fist that was waving in the air stopped subconsciously. He looked at a person who wasn’t too far from him blankly. The person had his face hidden, a mysteriously dressed person who revealed only two eyes.

“You… you are…” Regal Propria’s arm trembled a little and his eyes squinted gently. The man in front of his eyes looked and dressed like Thirty-Six Hours back then! Although many people imitated Thirty-Six Hours nowadays, the charm was extremely hard for anyone to imitate!

Only those who had fought Thirty-Six Hours hand-to-hand could remember that kind of charm! Many people in the world could display firm and fierce fists, but no one could be in the strength of two-star, yet reveal the temperament of a grandmaster and the style of a master!

For the Arhat Fist alone, even if it was displayed by many masters of the martial dao, it would not necessarily be better, or even more charming than Thirty-Six Hours.

Regal Propria had dreamt about the battle that day more than once. No matter how hard he tried in every dream realm, he could never land a hit on Thirty-Six Hours who covered himself using Dragon Guard. He also could never evade Thirty-Six Hour’s counterattack.

That scene had been imprinted deeply in the soul of Regal Propria!

“You… you are Thirty-Six Hours! That’s right!” Regal Propria’s voice was full of vibrato, a vibrato caused by excessive excitement, “You… you finally appeared… haha! Let me see your strength…”

Thirty-Six Hours? Thirty-Six Hours!

This name was too resounding in the world of low star-class! The audience in the arena all had their sights focused on Qin Fen at almost the same time!

“What! How is it possible!?”

Regal Propria shrieked suddenly. His voice was full of shock and disbelief.

Everyone was stunned at first, then remembered suddenly that Thirty-Six Hours wasn’t a person who would spend money to cover up his information. They quickly paid a small fee to the system and checked Regal Propria’s source of shock immediately.

Nine stars!

Nine stars! Nine stars!

Once upon a time, Thirty-Six Hours confronted Regal Propria, and both sides were two-star martial artists. At that time, Thirty-Six Hours relied on the understanding of the fist technique and achieved the final victory with his moves.

Now, when Regal Propria was about to break through to three-star successfully and when everyone was amazed by the speed of his star-class improvements, Thirty-Six Hours returned.

Not only did Thirty-Six Hours returned, but he also brought along shocking news. After his complete disappearance from the Sky Battle Network since his four-star achievement, he returned today as a nine-star martial artist!

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It must be a system error…” Regal Propria’s head swayed like a rattle as he became anxious, “Absolutely impossible! This is absolutely impossible! With such time he turned into a nine-star martial artist? Even if you had sat on a rocket on the route of the upgrade, it would still not be this fast!”

Nine stars?

Several martial artists who had not bought the information also looked at Qin Fen with unbelievable eyes. They didn’t speak, but their eyes had spoken.  Impossible! How can it be? In less than a year, someone’s strength improved by seven levels? Who do you think you are? A martial artist with the potential of a divine beast?

Regal Propria’s friends were all stunned. Everyone knew that the system was never wrong! The system had never been wrong! If the system said that Qin Fen had the strength of a nine-star, then he was a nine-star.

Nine stars? Everyone’s heart was filled with powerless laughs. Comparing one person with another could really drive someone to their death. Regal Propria’s speed in breakthrough was already envied by many.

However, compared with this legendary money-sucking vampire, Regal Propria’s star-class improvement speed was like a turtle… no! It was at the speed of a snail!

Compared with this Thirty-Six Hours, Regal Propria had no future in practicing martial arts!

“Thirty-Six Hours…” The sound of Regal Propria’s gnashing teeth was filled with the taste of desperation. Nine stars! Perhaps the ultimate achievement is to have the opportunity to reach the strength of nine-stars? Revenge… is now hopeless…

Qin Fen looked at Regal Propria quietly. It turned out that in addition to such an exciting side in martial dao, there was also such a cruel side. In just less than a year, meeting again actually made someone experience such a desperate emotion.

This was martial dao, the survival of the fittest! Where only the strong survive!

A trace of sadness and a trace of cruelty, Qin Fen savored these two different emotions in detail. An obstacle that had never been found in his heart suddenly became unblocked.

That’s right! Martial dao was cruel! Qin Fen’s eyes became bright. Although the increment these days have been difficult, it had always been smooth despite the dangers. The understanding of martial dao was more diligent, hardworking, sentimental, intense, nervous, happy, and moments between life and death!

He just never thought about that. That wasn’t everything about martial dao!

There was another side to martial dao, and it was cruel. It had ruthless rules, where only the strong would survive!

With a movement of the heart, Qin Fen felt the blood in his body oscillated slightly at this moment.

What’s this? Qin Fen was surprised. The main reason for him entering the battle network this time was to find the strongest nine-star martial artist, have a fight, stimulate the body through the battle, and enter the ten-star realm that was so-called the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

It had never crossed his mind that returning to the position where his dreams first began, meeting the person he once crossed paths with and having these sentiments rush to his heart could help a lot in the improvement of his strength.

Although understanding martial dao this time did not let his strength to enter the ten-star True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth immediately, it built an indispensable step of a solid foundation that was required to break through the ten-star.

When Qin Fen looked at Regal Propria, both his eyes flashed with shallow gratitude. If this person who had guided him into the real martial dao world had not existed, even if he had an actual all-out battle with a nine-star martial artist and received experience from that battle, he would still be unable to enter the realm of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

Today, Qin Fen was even more confident in entering the ten-star True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

“Thirty-Six Hours, since you have already achieved nine-star strength, what are you doing here?” One of Regal Propria’s friends stared coldly at Qin Fen, “Did you come to show off? If yes, you have achieved your purpose. You are strong. Just within a year, you have increased your ability to this level. Even Glowing Child could not compare to your speed. You have won, you can leave now.”

Qin Fen looked at Regal Propria’s sorrowful look and sighed softly, “I did not return to show off.”

“Then you…?”

“This is the place where I first fought, and the place where I used to make a living. I can never forget it.” Qin Fen said as he walked to the ring at the center of the venue, “I’ve returned to fight!”

Fight? Everyone was surprised. Not many high star-class martial artists were willing to fight in front of low star-class martial artists except for in the Ensemble of Heroes and certain tournaments as they could not afford to lose.

Thirty-Six Hours who had risen to nine stars actually returned today to fight in this arena that only had two-star strength?

Qin Fen did not speak after that and unveiled the top a hundred list of the nine star-class. He viewed quickly the battle record of the top twenty, the level of their opponents during their battle, and which martial art they used.

The first place in the nine-star top hundred was not necessarily the strongest person among the nine-star. Sometimes, the strength of their challengers that they had accepted were not even strong. But since they were defeated, it still would be counted into their win/loss percentage.

Regal Propria’s friend stared at Qin Fen for a few seconds, and his eyes flashed a sudden clever light, He opened his communication channel quickly and contacted all the friends he could, “Money-sucking vampire, Thirty-Six Hours who had disappeared for a while has now re-appeared on the battle network…”

Several people also informed different friends at the same time. These friends then sent messages to other friends quickly. Thirty-Six Hours who once stirred up the second, third and fourth-star levels has reappeared!

Thirty-Six Hours who opened the doors and started the Dragon Hall sect at the artificial satellite has appeared once again!

The speed at which the message spread was faster than ever, and it spread rapidly in the various star-class of the Sky Martial Battle Network.

In a short time, posts with the same title appeared in the two-star, three-star, four-star, five-star, six-star, seven-star, eight-star, and nine-star martial artist forums.

“Former Money-sucking Vampire Thirty-Six Hours has Reappeared!”

The big words with red font were shining on every forum channel.

Two, three, four, and even five-star martial artists were checking Thirty-Six Hours’ position of appearance from the post almost instantly.

This person’s strength soared rapidly in a short amount of time, and his every fist and kick created a new horizon. Where was Thirty-Six Hours, who disappeared after he gained fame, now?

The six, seven, eight, and nine-star martial artists would usually not pay attention to four-star martial artists. But now, out of curiosity, they clicked on the post that had appeared suddenly from nowhere.

Soon, those who opened the post were attracted immediately by the past deeds of Thirty-Six Hours. Two-star strength martial artist? In less than a year, he had now reached nine stars?

God! Is this kid a genius? No! Is this kid a monster? Such a monster, we have to check it out!

So, the six, seven, eight, and nine-star martial artists also began to flock to Free Zone Eleven, arena number eleven. They wanted to witness the charm of this magical kid, and see what was the purpose of him coming. Why did he disappear for so long and reappear on the battle arena once again?

Thirty-Six Hours has returned?

In addition to the various star-class martial artists who received the news, certain sects from the artificial satellite number four were also interested in this news.

Among them, Tianyi Sect head Tianyi who fought ferociously with Dragon Hall these days for the authority of a street was even more surprised and curious about this news.

“What? That freak Thirty-Six Hours has returned? This guy is really a freak! He created Dragon Hall, gained fame and disappeared suddenly. He let his followers take over and prosper his sect, and now he reappeared out of nowhere again. At this critical moment, he didn’t head back to Dragon Hall to help, but instead, went to the arena? And he is now a nine-star? This kid is actually with a nine star-class? The speed is too fast! It’s not possible even if you sat on a rocket.”

Tianyi pondered for a few seconds and exited the channel of artificial satellite number four quickly. Like everyone else, he chose to go to Free Zone eleven, arena number eleven to watch this weird money-sucking vampire.

“There is too much traffic in the network, and Free Zone eleven is congested. Do you wish to change to another channel?”

The emotionless mechanical synthetic sound passed into the ears of Tianyi slowly.

“The network is congested?” Tianyi couldn’t believe his ears. When the Federation first created the Sky Martial Battle Network, the advertised slogan was: The Sky Battle Network is smooth and the simulation is life-like. There will be no network delays, and absolutely no network congestion! Super network, create a super Sky Battle Network.

“This advertising thing is really a lie!” Tianyi shook his head dissatisfied, “Why am I the one who has to quit if the network is congested? I will not quit! Let others quit!”

“If you don’t quit, then you have to wait for your number according to the rules. Your waiting number is one million three hundred and seventy-three thousand two hundred and eighty-eight…”

“Screw this!” Tian Yi yelled, “Is it really so exaggerated? Around one million and three hundred thousand people are stuck? Isn’t this too much?”

“Not one million three hundred thousand people… now it is one million five hundred… no! One million sixty-three thousand, one million sixty-four thousand people…”

Listening to the emotionless yet meticulous synthetic sound, Tianyi had a feeling of defeat. How short of a time has it been? There are already more than one million people stuck here. Isn’t the popularity of Thirty-Six Hours way too high? If this continues, even if his strength was not on par with Earth Martial God, his popularity would really catch up with the old man.

The eleventh? Shanhe Sheji?

Qin Fen stared at the eleventh place in the combat record of the nine-star Top Hundred. Although he didn’t make it into the top ten, he was definitely not weak in terms of strength. If you analyzed the top twenty, this person might be the strongest among the twenty people!

The reason why his combat record did not enter the top ten was because the number of battles he had was not as much as those in the top ten. This person was also a dark horse that broke out to the nine stars suddenly within this year. He was like a fierce tiger, and more than half of those on the nine-star top hundred list had been challenged by him.

Moreover, he had never lost when he fought against the top hundred combat record opponents! The people who had been defeated by him all gave him a very similar evaluation.

His fists and kicks carried a Shanhe Sheji-like strong strength. Firm, fierce, and domineering!

“It’s him!”
