Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Fight

Seeing that Dragon Slayer and Gale members were confronting each other, the surrounding students had already quietly cleared an area.

Fighters and students were not forbidden to fight each other in Thousand Years Bar, and the martial arts circle had rules – if a fight occurred, the losing side would bear the cost and compensate the bar for the damage.

Since its opening, Thousand Years Bar had been rebuilt more than a dozen times due to fights between advanced martial artists while minor fights happened every few days.

Lin Zhen and Ouyang Yu held their glasses, raising them to drink at the same time.

Lin Zhen was fast; he finished the two catties of high-proof liquor in less than ten seconds.

After the antidote pill’s effect, the alcohol content was not even similar to that of beer, so Lin Zhen had no difficulty drinking it.

On the other hand, Ouyang Yu stopped after a few sips and coughed violently.

“This liquor… this liquor…” Ouyang Yu wanted to say something but saw that Lin Zhen had already finished.

He initially wanted to say the antidote pill didn’t work. However, at the moment, Lei Ming coldly looked at Ouyang Yu, “Is this all you can drink? If you don’t have the ability, don’t challenge others to a drinking competition. If you lose face for Dragon Slayer, you’ll see what happens.”

Ouyang Yu had no choice; there was no way to bring up the antidote pill issue, so he had to continue drinking reluctantly.

However, even martial artists would find it hard to drink two catties of the high-proof liquor at once. After drinking less than a third, Ouyang Yu couldn’t take it anymore.

“Ugh!”

He spat the liquor out all at once; Lin Zhen dodged to the side, but Zhu Haoran and Zhang Yi were caught off guard and got liquor all over them.

Before they could react, Ouyang Yu, affected by the alcohol, acted first.

“Damn! I’ll kill Gale’s grandson!”

He raised his glass and threw it at Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen quickly dodged, stepped forward, and threw three consecutive punches.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

The sound of the punches cutting through the air rang out. The drunken Ouyang Yu had no strength to fight back and was knocked down by Lin Zhen’s punches.

As soon as they started fighting, the Dragon Slayer members who had been looking for trouble also made their moves.

Zhu Haoran and Zhang Yi, both covered in filth, had no way to vent their anger. Along with Meng Dong, who had already joined the fight, the two sides quickly got into a brawl.

Fu Chengya and Lei Ming didn’t expect things to escalate so quickly. Both of them reacted instantly, each targeting the other and engaging in combat.

In an instant, the bar was in chaos, with bottles and plates flying, tables and chairs rolling around, and surrounding people keeping a safe distance while forming a large circle, cheering loudly.

Hearing the fighting outside, a group of martial artists who were gambling in a private room rushed out.

Seeing that members of the Dragon Slayer and Gale were involved, other martial artists didn’t speak up and merely watched the two groups’ martial artists.

As per the rules among martial artists, those with martial artist titles should not participate in fights between students; it would be tantamount to the strong bullying the weak.

There are level divisions among students: Warrior Level from levels one to three as Junior Warriors, levels four to six as Intermediate Warriors, and levels seven to nine as Advanced Warriors.

At the Warrior Level, practitioners mainly cultivate the strength of their bodies, also known as Obvious Force.

A critical stage of Warrior Level is the gene optimization potion.

The gene optimization potion is an epoch-making product. Generally taken at the peak of Level Three Warrior, it greatly enhances human potential. Depending on individual aptitude and luck, it can significantly increase a person’s strength, speed, and nerve response to varying degrees.

Otherwise, just relying on training would make it almost impossible to advance to the Advanced Warrior Level.

Any martial artist who can hunt in the wild has taken the genetic potion; otherwise, they would be no match for mutated beasts.

Once the Warrior Level is advanced further, it becomes the War General Level.

The key stage of advancing to become a War General is at the peak of the Level Nine Warrior. It requires taking an auxiliary gas-sensing agent to enable a martial artist to generate internal power.

During the Gregorian calendar era, martial arts experts who had cultivated their internal energy were all quite old. Cultivating internal power required accumulating it over time. Once it was successfully cultivated, extraordinary power could be exerted throughout the body. Martial artists called this Dark Force.

After the advent of the God Transformation Calendar, the gene potion and auxiliary gas-sensing agent were introduced successively, drastically shortening the cultivation time for martial artists. The auxiliary gas-sensing agent was specifically designed to improve a martial artist’s Dantian, generate a sense of air, and help save a lot of time cultivating Dark Force.

Of course, the success rate of Qi-perception auxiliary drugs is not that high, as understanding Qi-perception mainly depends on the natural talent of martial artists. The auxiliary drugs only serve as support. As long as the martial artist can grasp a bit of how the genuine Qi works, the auxiliary medicine will take effect. It provides an extra opportunity for those martial artists who have initially perceived Qi but have not fully mastered it. Many martial artists fail to hold onto it after their initial perception of Qi has been realized, but the drug can help to avoid that.

Overall, the Qi-perception auxiliary drugs can increase the success rate of around thirty percent of martial artists.

In other words, out of a hundred martial artists, only ten can comprehend Qi perception and cultivate Dark Force. With the help of Qi perception auxiliary drugs, forty people can enter the Dark Force phase smoothly.

Of course, these forty people also have some talent. The dumber ones would still be useless even with the assistance of medicine.

Those who have formal martial artist titles are War General Level and all of them are Dark Force experts.

A Level Nine Warrior Peak can exert a force of up to 1,000 kilograms, which is the limit after gene optimization. However, this is no match for Dark Force experts.

Not only are the Dark Force experts faster, making them difficult to threaten with conventional firearms, but they can also easily exert forces of several ton’s with very little effort. They’re in a completely different league compared to those with Ming Force.

As for the War God Level above the War General Level, also called the Transformed stage, it refers to cultivating Dark Force to every corner of their body, making every move they make incredibly powerful. However, this stage cannot be achieved by relying on medicine alone. One must practice on their own. Therefore, only true geniuses have the qualifications to advance to the War God Level. For others, Level Nine Martial Generals is the limit.

Due to the significant gap in power, Dark Force Warriors cannot participate in battles at the student level. This is a rule. The students have to resolve the conflicts by themselves, with the outcome being based on individual skill.

The students are also part of the martial artist community. Martial artists in this era enjoy special privileges, as they are not subject to the laws of the mundane world. Even if the martial artists break the law, they are subject to resolutions among their own kind. Ordinary police and judges do not have the authority to convict martial artists.

Gale and Dragon Slayer martial artists look at each other without speaking. They cannot interfere in this fight. They can only wait for the students to determine the winner and loser.

After Ouyang Yu was knocked down by Lin Zhen, the seven Dragon Slayer members and five Gale members each had one first-class student, two second-class students, four Level 3 students from Dragon Slayer, and two from Gale. Although Dragon Slayer held some advantage, it was not a significant one.

Old Hu from Gale roared, “You little bastards, give me a fierce fight! If we win, I’ll report to the chief of the pavilion, and the one who performs the best will be rewarded. If we lose, just wait for me to fiercely train you guys!”

The people from Dragon Slayer didn’t want to show weakness and uttered similar words.

The battle below quickly heated up. Fu Chengya faced Lei Ming and one Level 3 student; Meng Dong and Zhang Yi faced the other two Level 3 students; Zhu Haoran faced the other side’s second-class student.

Because Lin Zhen knocked out Ouyang Yu from the start, two of their opponents, one second-class and one third-class student, surrounded him.

As they had just joined the martial arts school, the students had not had time to practice their techniques and weapons. Thus, they all fought with fists and feet. The basic skills of these students were good, their fists and kicks were impressive, and their movements were swift.

Zhao Liang and Old Hu watched the fight below with some worry. Zhao Liang said, “Old Hu, the situation doesn’t look good. The other side has two more people. Fu Chengya is about equal to Lei Ming, plus a third-class student, so he is doing well as long as he is not knocked down.”

“Yes, the main concern is Lin Zhen. As it stands, I’m afraid he will be the first to fall. If he goes down, Meng Dong and Zhang Yi will be unable to resist, and we might lose very badly.”

“Yes, we can only hope that Lin Zhen can hold on for five minutes. If he doesn’t get defeated within that time, we can intervene under the pretext of protecting the students and stop the fight. But it might be tough for him to hold on for these five minutes.”

“Not necessarily. This Lin Zhen… has very fast nerve responses. Maybe he can bring us a pleasant surprise.”

At this moment, Old Hu’s phone suddenly rang. After answering and listening to a few words from the other side, he hung up and shouted to the students below, “The chief orders: knocking down a third-class student rewards 200 points, knocking down a second-class student rewards 500 points, and knocking down a first-class student rewards 2,000 points! Give me a ruthless fight!”

Hearing Old Hu’s words, Lin Zhen had a thought in his heart, as they were actually rewarding martial arts points!

Martial arts points are extremely important. Generally, you can only earn them by hunting mutated beasts, selling them at low prices, or donating them to the martial arts school.

Points can be used to purchase many goods. A lot of valuable items require both cash and points to be acquired, preventing outsiders from obtaining them easily.

Lin Zhen wants to enhance his strength quickly and has a complete plan in mind. An essential part of that plan is obtaining points, combined with the cash on hand, to purchase some urgently needed items.

“Since there are rewards in points, I must give it my all, vying to earn some points.”

“The second-class student from the other side also has the level of a Level 3 Warrior, so he poses a greater threat to me. If it’s one-on-one, I have the full confidence to defeat him. However, this third-class student is in the way, so I must deal with him first.”

Lin Zhen kicked away a table, blocking the attack route of the second-class student. In the next instant, he appeared in front of the third-class student. Relying on his incredibly fast reflexes, he barely dodged several of the opponent’s punches in close range. His shoulder then pushed forward vigorously, making the opponent stagger backward. Lin Zhen immediately threw several lightning-fast punches in succession!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bone fractures, the third-class student fell backward, blood spurting from his nose.

Two hundred points in hand!
