It was already ten past midnight by the time Qin Fen returned to the hotel. He took a shower, sat in front of his computer, and turned it on. He tapped on his keyboard, typing special characters into his notebook.

One must not completely forget about the mission when on vacation. Though Qin Fen hadn’t investigated the venue of the concert, he still needed to plan the gun he would assemble ahead of time and see what parts will most likely be used.

Qin Fen now knew that the terrorist Sajjad possessed a biochemical beast and had seen him display his powers. Qin Fen was now forced to re-assess the might of his guns. The power and speed of the biochemical beast that Sajjad utilized was still vivid as day in Qin Fen’s mind.

Qin Fen wanted a gun that wouldn’t draw any one’s attention when fired and could be used to obtain a one-shot kill. Qin Fen needed to draw upon his experience gained from the last battle in order to come up with a meticulous design.

His ten fingers hopped without end on the keyboard, and Qin Fen chose the Barret M82A1 sniper rifle as the foundation and body to undergo modifications. The gun possessed a full length of 1448 mm, a caliber of 12.7 mm, a weight of twelve kilograms, and an effective range of 1830 meters. It was once the king of sniper rifles but had long since been usurped. However, its enormous destructive power hadn’t decreased at all.

Qin Fen selected a few additional parts and made a small adjustment to the Barret M82A1. He substantially increased the firing capabilities of the gun, slightly sacrificing a part of its firing power in the process. This, however, could be made up for by the bullet.

The M8 depleted uranium round. The bullet was made out of depleted uranium alloy, giving it a density two to eight times that of steel. This round could completely penetrate Sajjad wearing a light power armor used for jungle warfare, let alone a Sajjad possessing a level two biochemical beast of the fusion stage.

“I’ll do another survey once I arrive at the venue and see if I’ll need to make any further adjustments.” Qin Fen had no plans to redesign his handgun at this time. He intended to use the sniper rifle to kill Sajjad.

Qin Fen made some slight preparations before taking a shower and going to bed. These few days of vacation were rare to come by. He’d spend some time having fun together with his old friends again tomorrow.

“We meet again, kid….”

The voice was familiar. Qin Fen didn’t need to depend upon his eyes in the dream to know that the voice belonged to the Vile King Zeng Yicheng.

Before Zeng Yicheng could finish speaking, Qin Fen slightly buckled his legs. He suddenly unleashed a Throat Locker by pushing off with his right leg, directly ambushing Zeng Yicheng.

With this Vile King as his opponent, Qin Fen would have no chance to make a comeback if he gave his opponent the initiative. Qin Fen knew this fact very well. He immediately chose to do a vile ambush the instant he heard Zeng Yicheng’s voice.

“Interesting.”

A smile of appreciation blossomed on the round face of Zeng Yicheng’s plump body. His throat, already quite thick, suddenly expanded in an instant. Veins and veins entwined and coiled around his neck, instantly becoming akin to a thigh of a healthy man. It shone with a luster and firm and fierce power coursed through.

The joints of Qin Fen’s fingers crackled twice as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art coursed through his index finger and middle finger. Thet two fingers expanded at high speeds to become thicker than a thumb. They pierced directly toward below his opponents’ jaw, the spot most difficult to train.

The smile in Zeng Yicheng’s eyes didn’t change. He just lowered his head and open his jaw. His teeth, which looked like could bite through steel, bit toward Qin Fen’s fingers. It looked very much like he was eating sausage.

A grand apex-level expert is actually going to bite his opponent? Can you be even more vile? Qin Fen collected his fingers to form a fist, bringing a screaming gale of wind that assaulted Zeng Yicheng’s mouth.

I ‘ll shatter all the teeth in your mouth! Let me see how you’ll be able to bite then! A fierce light flared in Qin Fen’s eyes. He couldn’t be the least bit courteous when it came to a spar with the Vile King. He would just be acting cruel to himself if he were courteous with the Vile King.

The Vile King’s neck changed once again. In this instant, it was as if his thick neck was completely boneless. It reached to the side to bite at Qin Fen’s wrist.

No wonder this man was the Vile King. He just stood there, unmoving, and was able to achieve such results by merely using his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the speed in which two exchanged moves grew faster and faster. Qin Fen’s moves would sometimes be firm and fierce and sometimes be vile. He barely fought Zeng Yicheng, who was using four-star strength, to an equilibrium.

They fought for two hours in a single breath, and Qin Fen’s physical strength began to drop. Every second when it came to exchanging moves with an expert like this required him to focus with one hundred percent energy and strength. The mental drain and energy consumption were totally comparable to the life-or-death instants on a genuine battlefield.

Bam!

A foot stomped Qin Fen right in the face, and the protective power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art instantly covered his face. The foot stomp caused Qin Fen to retreat half a step, and another foot whipped into his ear. This was a spot that was super hard to temper and train.

Slam slam slam…

Qin Fen retreated four or five steps to the side before nearly losing his footing and sitting on the ground.

Qin Fen’s face was burning. The ears were normally one of the key points to defend in a fight. His opponent had struck in those spots today, causing him to lose the fight. It was quite humiliating.

“You are improving too slowly. Your strength is too lacking.” Zeng Yicheng made an ill and blunt comment.

I’m improving too slowly? And my strength is lacking? Qin Fen was stunned as he couldn’t imagine how this was possible.

Qin Fen was confident that he was part of the highest block within his age group when it came to speed of growth in strength. This absolutely wasn’t Qin Fen being conceited. Instead, this was an understanding that came from researching the martial dao.

“You don’t believe me?” Zeng Yicheng’s smile revealed that he had guessed what Qin Fen was thinking through his expression. “Do you know how much strength I used when fighting with you just now?”

Qin Fen furrowed his brow in contemplation. Within this special space of thought, it was impossible to rely purely on an opponent’s strength of aura to determine an opponent’s strength, unless the opponent reported which star strength he used.

“When we clashed just now, you were forced to take a mere three steps back by purely my strength. This means that the power you used should be between three-star and four-star power….”

Qin Fen made his own assessment and was shocked as well. The Vile King had actually suppressed his strength to be at a disadvantage in the fight, yet they were evenly matched when they fought. This was similar to how Qin Fen himself fought with other people in the real world.

“You’re wrong.” The Vile King stopped being vile at this time. He gently wagged a plump and short finger. “I used one-star strength.”

“What?”

Qin Fen began to doubt his own hearing. He thought something was wrong with his ears. He understood one-star, two-star, and other strengths like these far too well. In the face of the four-star Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, even a three-star expert wouldn’t have to strength to last a single fight, let alone a one-star or two-star expert.

“Why don’t you believe it?” The vile king faintly said. “Think back in detail for a moment. When I fought you, how much slower was my speed compared to yours? Think about it for a moment. Think about how you resist a meteor level expert using four-star strength on the outside world.”

Qin Fen was stupefied. His desire to win against the Vile King had been too strong before the fight. Right now he did some careful recollection after the fight, and indeed, his opponent’s speed appeared to be merely at the apex of one-star.

“Then, when I took three steps back just then….” Qin Fen didn’t finish his words. His eyes first lit up. “You used one-star power to redirect the force???”

Qin Fen produced the answer on his own. He swallowed hard a few times. He had done force redirection using four-star strength against the attacks of a meteor level expert before. However, he needed a precise understanding of his and his opponent’s power. At the same time, he needed accurate control over his own power!

Even so, Qin Fen found force redirection at the four-star level against the meteor five-star level to be extremely exhausting and strenuous.

Even though he knew that the Vile King was a super expert among experts, hearing that Vile King used one-star strength to stand off against four-star strength made Qin Fen indescribably stupefied.

This was especially true of his opponent’s precision and control over power. In his many spars and exchanges with experts, Qin Fen had gradually cultivated a self-confidence within himself. There had never been someone who possessed a control and precision over power greater than he could.

In a fight where the opponents differ by a single star level, the power requirements were an extremely difficult thing to match. A difference of three-star levels should be totally impossible to fight in. However, the Vile King had actually done such a thing.

“You can’t even beat me at one-star strength. Do you still feel that you’re improving quickly?” The Vile King was much more straightforward than the other instructors. His words struck the mark head one. He didn’t pay heed to Qin Fen’s emotions at all.

Qin Fen was stunned in place. He had improved so much these past few days. He believed that his control over power surpassed all those on his level. Now it looked like his control was truly incomparably rough.

“Your foundation is indeed extremely solid.” The Vile King gave an affirmation. “I don’t feel like my foundation was as solid as yours back when I was your age. However, just this isn’t enough. It’s far from enough. You are extremely weak in the aspect of power control and countering your opponent’s power control.”

Qin Fen slowly nodded over and over. Having a high control and precision over power could allow him to break his opponent’s force redirection in an instant during a fight. He could win without a problem by overpowering his opponent in this case.

Even when encountering an expert who just entered the meteor level, Qin Fen could rely on the same technique to completely break his opponent’s attack and score a victory against someone on a higher level!

Control! Precision and control! Qin Fen’s eyes glowed brighter and brighter. He always wanted to make a breakthrough to higher heights these days, but he never discovered all these things he himself was lacking. A solid foundation wasn’t as good as he imagined.

“In any case, you’re not bad.” Vile King Zeng Yicheng changed the topic. “You haven’t completely walked my old path. Instead, you are trying and feeling your own path. Though you’re in a place that’s extremely rough and in need of much polish, feeling your own path at the four-star strength is already something that extremely few people do.”

This carrot and the stick method… Qin Fen smiled helplessly. It looked like everyone used this method.

Zeng Yicheng warmed up his shoulders. “Kid, you have the firm and fierce move, the Raging Berserker Tide. And you have utilized your own understandings to heighten it. However, don’t you feel that you also need a vile ultimate move as well?”

“I’ve been thinking about it.” Qin Fen didn’t deny it. “Won’t you teach me?”

“No, no, no….” Zeng Yicheng waved his hand over and over. “My style is different from other people’s. One sometimes needs to rely on one’s own talent when it comes to vileness. Actually, your talent is quite decent. It’s just that you’re missing a mentor. A truly vile ultimate move cannot be taught. It can only come from comprehension. Therefore, I can only give you the simplest of methods. True vileness cannot be imagined by others even when given an eternity. Whenever you use it, they will curse you for being shameless. This is true vileness.”
