My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 309: Chapter 159: Cooling Down

Wang Jing sighed. He wanted to persuade Qin Fang to back down, but things had gone too far. There was nothing he could do.

He could only ask, ”Young Master Shen, do you have any objections?”

Shen Han’s chest felt so tight it was about to explode. The veins on his forehead throbbed violently, as if they might burst at any second.

He even felt the world begin to spin... In that moment, he felt as if he’d been stripped naked and thrown out onto the street.

An unprecedented sense of humiliation gnawed ferociously at his once-proud heart.

He glared at Qin Fang on the platform like a cornered beast. Qin Fang watched him with a casual air, and when their crazed gazes met, Qin Fang’s expression didn’t even flicker. Instead, he broke into a grin.

Shen Han could no longer hold back. With a roar, he launched himself into the air, clearing over forty meters in a single bound to land directly on the platform.

”Die!!!”

Without even waiting for Wang Jing to signal the start, he brought a palm crashing down toward Qin Fang’s head.

The Force behind the blow was so immense that if Qin Fang didn’t dodge, his head would inevitably burst like a watermelon.

...This was a clear violation of the principle of stopping short of serious injury.

Wang Jing’s brow twitched, and he moved to intervene.

But he stopped himself... because he knew that such a move was useless against Qin Fang.

And just as expected, Qin Fang simply raised an eyebrow, shifted his stance, and easily dodged aside.

Shen Han was utterly enraged. His first strike having missed, he spun and brought a lightning-fast axe kick down on his opponent!

The power was terrifying, making the very air shriek!

...It had to be said, this Shen Han, who had once achieved the thirteenth seat, did have some real skill.

’At least in terms of Physique,’ Qin Fang thought, ’he’s probably not much weaker than I am...’

’After all, he’s a Noble Family’s Heir. He must have an unlimited supply of various Elixirs.’

’His Martial Arts Realm has probably even reached the Second Realm... and the Martial Techniques he’s using are likely Huajin Stage Cultivation Techniques, which he’s clearly practiced to a high degree.’

Qin Fang felt that if he were facing Shen Han in the same state he’d been in during his second fight with Chen Shanhe, he might not have been able to completely dominate him.

Shen Han clearly knew how to conserve his momentum, hiding his follow-up moves within his initial attacks and making it much harder to predict his next action.

But unfortunately for Shen Han... Qin Fang was not the same person he was back then.

He was now...

In the Third Realm!

Within his Heart Realm, all of his opponent’s movements were like ripples on a placid lake—there was nowhere to hide.

He could see every concealed technique with perfect clarity, allowing him to naturally predict his opponent’s next attack.

Not a single subtle shift could escape his notice!

Under these circumstances, how could Shen Han possibly harm him?

Watching the crazed Shen Han before him, Qin Fang’s eyes narrowed. While dodging, he suddenly spoke with a light chuckle, ”You’re angry?”

The enraged Shen Han froze, his attack faltering for an instant.

Qin Fang didn’t take the opportunity to attack. Instead, he smiled. ”Didn’t you want to test my limits? Why send someone else? See? Coming up here yourself gives you a much more intimate experience, doesn’t it?”

Qin Fang’s question only enraged Shen Han further. His eyes went bloodshot as he suddenly quickened his assault, trying to strike Qin Fang down on the spot!

...He was willing to face any punishment from the Post House!

”You know, we had no history, no grudge. Why did you have to provoke me for no reason?”

Qin Fang sighed, asking with a smile as he effortlessly dodged the attacks.

Shen Han’s heart clenched violently...

But he had to admit it...

When Qin Fang spoke those words, an uncontrollable wave of regret washed over him...

’...He’s right. We had no grudge. Why did I have to go and provoke him for no reason?’

’If I hadn’t sent Geng Ye to test him, we would have been like two parallel lines, never crossing. I would still be the respected ’Young Master Shen of the Divine Family’ at the Post House, and he would just be some nameless peasant from C Courtyard...’

’How did it come to this?’

’...Now, I’m the biggest joke in all the noble families!’

’I was dragged onto the platform by a commoner and knocked unconscious with a single slap in our first fight!’

’I was forced out of A Courtyard and into B Courtyard.’

’And it doesn’t even end there... because of him, I’m about to be knocked out of B Courtyard and fall into C Courtyard.’

’He might even... even knock me all the way down to D Building!’

’...For anyone else, this might seem normal.’

’Just a simple win or loss.’

’But who am I?’

’I am from the main branch of the Shen Family!’

’I’m a prodigy with the full backing of the Shen Family, a strong contender for one of the twelve seats!’

’But, just because I acted rashly and decided to test him...’

’...I’ve ended up in this mess!’

Regret washed over him like a tidal wave, making Shen Han feel as if his heart would shatter!

”Aren’t you a fool?”

Just then, his opponent spoke again, chuckling as he effortlessly dodged the attacks. ”I’m the ’variable’ everyone is talking about... But is winning one of the twelve seats a problem for you alone? Why is it that everyone else could keep their cool and wait to see what happens, but you just had to be the reckless one to step forward?”

”They’re all just enjoying the show, don’t you know?”

Qin Fang’s words made Shen Han’s entire body go rigid. His crimson eyes stared dead at him.

”Don’t get it? Let me spell it out for you... The twelve seats aren’t just your concern. Many other people are fighting for those spots besides you. But now you’ve rashly stepped up to confront me... and they must be laughing their heads off.”

”Why? Because I’ve thoroughly offended you now, so you definitely want revenge, right? But how are you going to get it? I, for one, don’t plan on taking a single step outside the Post House before the Martial Arts Examination... So, with all that hatred festering inside you, unable to swallow your pride, you’ll have to find a way to kill me right here in the Post House.”
