Song Jia didn't even wait for Qin Fen to respond. She warned him again, "Don't underestimate this Park Jong-Hwan, and really don't underestimate Neo Taekwondo. It's best not to provoke him. Rumor has it that he's someone who has entered the military at the near-four-star level."
"Oh?" Qin Fen had a bit of an embarrassed grin, "I don't want to cross paths with Park Jong-Hwan, but if he's going to participate in the Federation's military tournament, I have no choice but to face him."
Squad Leader Hao, who had been tidying his bed to the side, heard Qin Fen talk about the military tournament. Squad Leader Hao's body immediately froze. Originally, he planed to find a pretext and trick Qin Fen into participating. Now it sounded like Qin Fen was going to participate on his own accord.
"You're going to participate in the Federation's military tournament?" Song Jia was quite shocked on the other end of the phone.
"I want to participate," Qin Fen had nothing to hide. He spoke very honestly, "I heard that there are different rewards upon retirement every time you advance in the tournament."
To the side, the corner of Squad Leader Hao's eyes twitched endlessly. The greatest palace of honor for a soldier was nothing more than retirement rewards in Qin Fen's eyes.
"Really?" Song Jia muttered to her self for a moment before saying, "Then go all out and do your best! You need to get first place in the entire Federation!"
Qin Fen didn't quite expect Song Jia's reaction. She had just tried persuading him to do his best not to clash with Park Jong-Hwan, yet she immediately changed her position in this moment.
"Surprised?" Song Jia, this sly devil, clearly got that Qin Fen was surprised. She said, "I'll give you advice before you make a decision, but when you make a decision, I will only support you."
Beep beep.... The telephone beeped, and Qin Fen knew that this was a reminder from the system. His call credits were about to run out for his number.
"Out of money?" There was a bit of disappointment in Song Jia's voice, but she knew that she and Qin Fen had talked for a considerable amount of time. She could only whisper, "All right then. Let's hang up for now. Remember to deposit more next time."
Even though Qin Fen knew Song Jia couldn't see him, he still nodded his head, "Okay." The cost of this one call was more expensive then his typical call costs of an entire year.
After hanging up, Qin Fen simply put on the helmet for the Sky Martial Battle Network. He had blown through quite a bit of money from the phone call just now. He had to earn back the money to make things better.
He opened his inbox to look at the challenge messages. Qin Fen simply had the system help in searching for the highest offer in price.
After getting rid of all his challenge messages, a message that wasn't really a challenge message still remained in his inbox. It made Qin Fen a bit shocked. The message had come from Glowing Child of the Wind.
"Senior Brother Thirty-Six Hours, I haven't seen you for days. I hope you're doing fine. I got some news the other day. The three-star area's War God Arena starts a few days earlier than the two-star area's War God Arena. If you're interested, you can first go to the three-star and experience it for yourself."
Experience it? Qin Fen looked at the electronic message before his eyes with earnest. He was able to dig up quite a bit of information on the War God Arena from government websites, so he had a preliminary understanding of it. However, other people had left behind comments, practically all of which saying that its forever impossible to truly understand it if one doesn't truly enter the War God Arena.
Three-star....
A glimmer of thirst shone in Qin Fen's eyes. Ever since he fought Squad Leader Hao, who suppressed his strength to a three-star state, Qin Fen always thought that two-star fights weren't stimulating enough.
For now, he didn't need to be constantly about for the sake of living. His heart for battle, as a man who strove for the top, was quickly restored in Qin Fen's body.
The system quickly selected four messages, and Qin Fen suddenly laughed. How could one of the four messages be so coincidental. It was a two-star challenger who cultivated in Neo Taekwondo.
Qin Fen delightfully chose his first person to fight. It was none other than the Neo Taekwondo challenger called Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.
As Qin Fen accepted challenges each day, his fame grew all the more bigger day by day, and the number of people who chose to watch his fights grew greater as well. Practically all of the hundred major experts of the two-star level chose a temporary armistice to come watch Thirty-Six Hours's fights.
Two-stars were an enormous community, and the hundred experts standing at the peak amongst them with the best battle records all watched the fights. This was essentially a type of propaganda.
It was unknown when it happened, but Qin Fen already possessed his own support regiment.
"Thirty-Six Hours, if I beat you, you'll need to take off your mask!"
Challenger Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains's words weren't that shocking to Qin Fen. Practically all of the challengers over the course of these days had this request. There were also quite a bit of his support regiment making posts on the two-star forums. They guessed who was the man under the mask and what in the world he looked like.
He has to be an exceptionally low-key handsome dude This came from an absolute fan.
He has to be hideous. He's afraid of scaring people! This came from someone who was envious....
These kind of posts were quite high up in the two-star forums.
"The higher the stakes, the more money you have to pay," Qin Fen reminded very professionally.
All of the two-stars who challenged Qin Fen all knew by now that Thirty-Six Hours loves money to an extreme. There was the challenge fee, and if someone wanted to add the condition of Qin Fen taking off his mask were he to lose, then the challenger would need to hand over another fee before the fight.
There was a some charitable person who offered ten thousand dollars for Qin Fen to take off his mask himself, but Qin Fen had refused.
Quite a few people said that Qin Fen was stupid because of this. He could have made ten thousand bucks in a single go!
In the end, it was ultimately Glowing Child of the Wind, who Qin Fen had once defeated and was one of the top hundred experts, who came out and lectured these people who said Qin Fen was an idiot.
"You're the idiots! Thirty-Six Hours can only earn ten thousand dollars once when he takes off his helmet. As long as he never takes it off, he will be able to make money everyday."
"Okay! No problem! I'll add another hundred dollars. I know this rule of yours." Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains said very bluntly, "I also want to chose the site for the fight!"
Qin Fen shrugged. As a businessman, he should always satisfy his customers. Rings and arenas were technically fair, but one wouldn't give their opponent a fair environment in a true fight where they battled about atop of it. Therefore, any sort of environment was a sort of training, and Qin Fen found no problem with it.
The battle setting that Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains chose was a narrow alley.
The choice in setting revealed whether or not a person possessed the DNA to fight.
These days, Qin Fen's fitness exercise of fist forms, the Shaolin Arhat Fist, had all sorts of experts eating dirt. And its Dragon Guard was exquisitely fearsome. Quite a few challengers would choose a narrow space to restrict this outstanding ability of Qin Fen's.
Neo Taekwondo, after refined by Bae Seong-Joon, was not only a martial art that became much stronger, but the already tyrannical leg techniques had their might increase once more. It was known as the number one leg art by the people of the Autonomous State of Korea!
