Chapter 143 - A Super Test
Chapter 143: A Super Test
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Qin Fen guessed the situation correctly on the four-star forums, but he hadn’t guessed the situation entirely correctly on the other forums.
The meteor level martial artist forums had never had posts on four-star level, three-star level, and so on martial artists before.
However, today a recording of a four-star level fight was made into a post, and it became the most popular post on the meteor level forums.
Look at how a four-star martial artist dominates you meteor-level martial artists.
A four-star martial artist issued a very provocative post on the meteor level forums in a very arrogant manner.
In the beginning few seconds, not many people were drawn nor paid attention to the post. Many people were suspecting that a foolish clown at heart had typed up this post.
Soon, these people were truly shocked by the video within the post!
What soon followed were the serious reply posts from those who finished looking at the video.
“Robert, why don’t you go die already?”
“Robert, can you cause the meteor level to lose even more face than this?”
“Robert… the one from Hell City? Excellent, for the sake of rectifying the reputation of us of the meteor level, we need to first get rid of your Even Sky Tower before getting rid of Dragon Hall.”
“Robert, you really did give the meteor level face. You actually went to bully a four-star martial artist, and you were even sorted out by him. If I were you, I would have banged my head till I was dead.”
All sorts of nasty curses increased in number on the forums like a torrential rainstorm.
Aside from these nasty curses, there was a group of people who left behind extremely serious evaluations as well as a few theories regarding the fight.
It was just very unfortunate that Qin Fen didn’t know about this. He had unintentionally missed an excellent learning opportunity.
Qin Fen opened his computer. He chose to first log onto the Super Taobao Marketplace. He planned to look at the prices of the goods he auctioned, wishing to see just how high they rose.
His cell phone, which lay at the head of his bed, suddenly began to ring. Qin Fen had no choice but to give up looking at the prices. Instead, he rushed to pick up his cell phone with a unique ring tone.
Song Jia, Lin Liqiang, and Enzo Rota.
These three people possessed different unique ringtones. This music was calm yet also brimming with shock, which meant that Enzo Rota was calling.
“Outside the gate.”
As soon as Qin Fen picked up the phone, he heard Enzo Rota’s concise and straightforward voice come through the phone.
Pharmaceuticals! Qin Fen naturally hadn’t forgotten about the matter. It hadn’t been long ago since he mentioned the matter to Drill Instructor Cook and obtained his consent.
Enzo Rota stood silently outside the military camp, the moonlight shining onto him. He carried a backpack on his back, one that was in no way inferior to himself in size. Clearly, he had done the most meticulous preparations beforehand.
Qin Fen gaped with an open mouth and a bit of astonishment. Enzo Rota’s foresight was typically quite high. To be able to make him carry such a huge backpack over here, it looked like drill instructor cooks strength was far greater than what he imagined.
The simple procedures were quickly handled to allow Enzo Rota entry into the military camp. Qin Fen didn’t speak a single superfluous word, for he understood his old friend quite well. He simply brought Enzo Rota along to Cook’s territory.
They arrived before the door to Cook’s small canteen. Qin Fen and Enzo Rota dodged backward near-simultaneously in haste. The closed-door had suddenly been opened in an instant. A powerful and quick figure quickly dashed out from within.…
In the next instant, this figure dashed to the trashcan next to the door. The sound of vomiting immediately came from his mouth.
“That was really far too disgusting in taste… how can there be such disgusting food in this world… vomit… such a cook should be fired…”
The person who had dashed out vented his frustrations as he vomited.
A hint of a glow flashed in Qin Fen’s eyes as he looked at Enzo Rota. This good friend of his, who he had never fought before, had instantly performed a dodge just now. This clearly showed he possessed extraordinary strength! He must be much stronger than Park Jong-Hwan of the State of Korea!
A hint of admiration appeared on the grave and stern face of Enzo Rota. He hurriedly gave Qin Fen a light thumbs up and said, “First class.”
“It was all right. Training always yields gains.” Qin Fen didn’t act form. There was no need to be modest between friends. Doing so would actually make him appear to be an outsider.
After praising Qin Fen, Enzo Rota took his gaze and shifted it to the soldier, who was still vomiting. A food that could make someone vomit in such a world-shaking fashion, that could cause demons to cry and gods to howl… just how disgusting could the food have been to reach this level?
“To tell you the truth…” Qin Fen shook his head with the face of helplessness. “This food really isn’t that good tasting at all.”
Enzo Rota’s face revealed an expression that said he understood. It was very rare for there to be food in this world that could make his good friend Qin Fen say that the food was disgusting.
So even Qin Fen said that the food was disgusting…. Enzo Rota subconsciously rubbed his chin. He began to guess just how disgusting the food could actually be.
Qin Fen pushed open the door to the canteen and he just so happened to see Cook counting paper bills with great excitement. And next to him was the man who played the supporting role; he possessed a face of suffering.
Clearly, these two had made a bet, and drill instructor Cook had once again obtained a victory.
“Oh man, why did the kid have to come at this time?” Cook’s smile was much more radiant than a safflower from winning the bet. “Do you miss my food?”
Qin Fen kind of didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this man, who could be considered to have some problems with his sense of taste in this world. He probably wouldn’t like eating such insipid food either, right?
“Drill instructor, this is the friend I mentioned to you before in the past, sir…”
“Ohhhhh. So it’s the person who wanted to get in by pulling some strings?” Kuchta beamed as he studied Enzo Rota. “He actually looks quite handsome. I just don’t know how good his strength is. For the sake of Little Qin’s face, I will give you a chance. As long as you passed my test, everything will be A-OK with me…”
Boom!
With a wave of his hand, Cook had his subordinate immediately serve a small bowl of rich food.
“Little Qin, I recall that you like to bet, isn’t that right? Are you interested in making one now?” Cook beamed as he pointed at the bowl of food before Enzo Rota. “Two hundred bucks.”
“Four hundred.” Enzo Rota sat at the dining table. He coolly spoke his words. “One half.”
Cook was at a loss for moments before he cast his gaze toward Qin Fen. “Kid, what is your friend saying? I don’t understand.”
Cook’s subordinate, who was right by Cook’s side, also nodded. He had not understood the meaning behind Enzo Rota’s words as well.
Qin Fen smiled. “This friend of mine doesn’t really like to talk a lot. He is saying that if you want to bet, then bet four hundred. Just paying two hundred in a bet is inconsistent with the fee of him appearing on stage. What he means by one half is that if I win, then the net profit of my winnings will have to be split in half with him. This is because he will be doing his best to have me win.”
Cook and his two subordinates actually saw Enzo Rota nod his head. Their mouths were agape and their tongues were tied as they cast their gaze back to Qin Fen’s body. “That’s freakish. You were actually able to translate four words to this degree. You two are way too fierce enough. One person speaks very little, and the other can actually understand him.”
Qin Fen was very proud of his ability to translate Enzo Rota’s words. Even Qiangster was sometimes incapable of deciphering Enzo Rota’s words. He was the only person capable of completely deciphering Enzo Rota’s words to this day.
Bam!
Qin Fen slapped his bank card onto the table in a very straightforward manner. “I bet on my friend. He will clean up his food for sure!”
The ample confidence that Qin Fen had toward his friend caused Qin Fen’s aura to immediately soar by quite a bit. Such a display more or less caused Cook to be a bit worried.
“Cook, I deliberately added extra ingredients.”
Cook’s subordinate whispered in Cook’s ear, and Cook’s complexion quickly improved.
“You’re on!”
As soon as Cook said these words, Cook saw Enzo Rota begin eating the food within the bowl.
One bite… a pause… a furrow of the brow… a change in complexion…
Cook smiled. Such a reaction was really far too normal. According to past cases, the next thing that Enzo Rota would do is quickly charge out the door and begin engaging in inhumane vomiting.
Pause… pause… chew! And swallow!
The scene was beyond Cook’s expectations. He stared at Enzo Rota. This young man was quickly eliminating the food within the bowl. And the speed at which he eliminated the food was near approaching Qin Fen’s speed!
This… this friend of cheering fans… was he also the reincarnation of the starving ghost?
In shock, Cook watched Enzo Rota finished eating the last mouthful of food within the bowl.
Enzo Rota forcefully swallowed his last mouthful of food. What had once been a very handsome face had now turned a bit green. He never ate food as disgusting as this before in the years he’s been alive! If one were to apply to the Guinness Federation Records about who had the most disgusting food, Cook was absolutely fully deserving of the title.
Enzo Rota tossed aside the dining spoon in his hand. He gasped for breath in large mouthfuls. Eating this food had been much more tiresome than a full afternoon training in the gym.
Enzo Rota slightly calmed down for a moment before raising his head and speaking to Qin Fen. “Thank you. Screwed.”
“What? What is he saying?” Cook really didn’t understand. “Why did he say thank you to you?”
Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders. Enzo Rota meant was that he originally wouldn’t have been able to eat all the food. However, when Enzo Rota thought about how his bro had fished out four hundred dollars in the big bet with him as the target of the bet, Enzo Rot could not fail to live up to his bro’s trust. It was only because of Qin Fen’s faith in him that he was able to eat the most disgusting food in history.
“Old Enz is saying that if he had known that the food was this disgusting, the bet should’ve been at least a thousand or even more. Four hundred bucks would be screwing over his personal value.” Qin Fen explained the meaning of the last word that Enzo Rota said.
Clap, clap, clap…
Cook applauded in great admiration. “Kid, as a pharmacist, you must have sufficient patience. Your patience is decent, quite decent. Much better than this trash disciple of mine. Back then, he only ate five mouthfuls before vomiting, nearly passing out.”
To the side, each of Cook’s subordinates twitched their lips. The people in this world who could eat five mouthfuls of this food, aside from Qin Fen and this freak before their eyes, numbered only one person — him.
Enzo Rota, who rarely praised others, gave Cook’s disciple a thumbs-up. “Not bad.”
“Kid, don’t flatter others too much.” Cook made a chopping motion toward the table with the kitchen knife in his hand. “Whether you passed or not, I have the final say. Next I have the second test for you. I heard from Little Qin that you plan on only learning from me for three months. I am very curious. Where does this confidence of yours come from? Therefore, the second test will be a test of your foundation in the pharmaceutical field…”
Bam!
The sound of Enzo Rota smacking the metal box onto the table reverberated in the canteen. “Taste.”
Cook looked at the small pill inside the metal box. It was the size of a soybean. His eyes revealed a very flabbergasted glow. He reached a hand to fetch out the pill from within the box. He first put it to his nose and smelled it a few times, then he simply used his tongue to taste it a few times.
“This is… you made this…?”
The shock in the cook’s eyes had already completely turned into suspicion. This pharmaceutical skill was absolutely not something a first-year student in university should possess! A freshman of university absolutely should not be able to do this! If one actually could, then many experts of medical research units might actually all go hang themselves as an act of committing suicide.

Bam!
Enzo Rota smacked down a second metal box the size of a fist. His eyes flickered with the sheer glow of confidence.
“This… this is also your…”
Bam… bam… bam…
Enzo Rota was someone who didn’t really like to show off. It was just that he had heard the contemptuous meaning behind Cook’s words. And this contemptuousness was looking lightly on Qin Fen’s foresight.
While Enzo Rota was a very prideful person, he was someone who was cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. To have his own friend be looked lightly upon, even if this was done in kindness, this was something that Enzo Rota couldn’t endure. Pieces after pieces of pharmaceutical works were spread over the table like the falling of rain.
“All right! Okay already! There’s no need to take out anymore!” Cook waved his hand. “I wasn’t as strong as you when I was your age. I thought you were being a bit arrogant when you said three months, but you really are qualified to say these words.”
It was only this that satisfied Enzo Rota. He stopped taking out his works of art.
Cook had a faint smile as he looked over the various works on the table. “Clever and wonderful thoughts and ideas. You really are gifted. Your fundamentals are also very sturdy. You are a genius in pharmaceuticals! Within the young generation, perhaps there’s only the rumored pharmaceutical genius called Enzo Rota that could be a match for you.”
Qin Fen became much more delighted than before when he heard such an assessment. “Drill instructor, how do you know that the Enzo Rota you speak of can be an assured match for my good friend? The rumors must be exaggerated.”
“That is impossible.” Cook waved his hand very decisively. “Even though I’ve never met the kid, I have seen one of his prescriptions. Though the work is a bit young and tender, it is absolutely in the style of the genius.”
“Drill instructor… this is…” Qin Fen sat by Enzo Rota’s side and said, “Let me give you a detailed introduction of my friend here. His name is Enzo Rota. He is a good friend of mine from high school…”
“Enzo… Enzo Rota? You’re none other than Enzo Rota? You’re that genius who countless idiotic experts think highly of?” There was a bit of agony within Cook’s smile. “I never thought that those idiots would have moments of good taste.”
“Not bad, not bad!” Cook studied Enzo Rota from top to bottom. “Kid, you just gave me a fright. You must be quite proud of yourself right now, right? Since you want to learn from me, then I will nevertheless need to have you be a bit more well behaved…”
Cook rapped the ring on his ring finger, and a pill came tumbling out.
Enzo Rota picked it up. He merely sniffed it with his nose for a moment, and his grave and stern face turned stiff. His eyes were filled with endless shock.
“You can taste it if you want…” Cook’s smile was very confident. “Perhaps you can discover some things with it.”
His expression darkened as he placed the pill in his hand back on the table. He didn’t go tasting the pill, instead, he simply gave Lin Liqiang a call.
“Old Enz, did you make your trip for nothing or something?”
“Asking for one more month.”
“What?”
“Further extension will probably be needed.”
“Then congratulations!” Lin Liqiang’s voice was filled with joy. He said, “Congratulations! Congratulations! Those who reach our level find it very hard to find teachers capable of teaching us. Those who can teach us for long periods of time are the rarest of the rare. To have this sort of opportunity, I am very happy for you.”
“Yes.”
Enzo Rota also had a face of excitement. Cook’s strength far exceeded what he had imagined. The pills that Cook brought out were probably the bottom of the barrel goods for Cook.
However, it was because this item was bottom of the barrel for Cook that it raised Cook’s strength up far too much.
“Excellent! I’m confident that you will be able to collect your pride.” Cook grabbed his kitchen knife. “Even if you are a genius, you will have to listen to me now that you are here. Therefore, you need to learn one thing. And that is cooking. Come! Learn from me!”
“This… if there’s nothing else, then I am going to leave first.”
Qin Fen got up and was prepared to leave when Cook’s kitchen knife flashed, nailing the table right before Qin Fen’s face.
“Kid, don’t be in such a rush to leave. This is the first time that your friend is going to cook. I think you should give it a taste, right? Otherwise, it would be quite unfair to your friendship.”
Qin Fen obediently sat back down in his seat. Though Cook was the drill instructor in the field of pharmaceuticals, this didn’t mean that his strength was weak.
He was someone powerful who wielded a kitchen knife day in and day out. He casually made disgusting food in the military as recreation. He wasn’t scared of being retaliated against. Clearly, his strength wouldn’t be weak to the point of non-existence.
The product of Enzo Rota’s first time cooking food was soon served, and Qin Fen finally knew something about his friend. This pharmaceutical genius, who he reckoned was also a genius in the martial dao, turned out to have things he wasn’t a genius in. It could be said that Enzo Rota really had things that he was a complete loser in.
The color of the food… there was not a single bit of color at all!
Smell… Qin Fen suspected that his incomparably sensitive sense of smell was having some issues. He actually was unable to smell a single iota of the fragrance of food.
Taste…
Qin Fen tried a mouthful. He swallowed it with great difficulty, upon which he gave Enzo Rota a thumbs up. “Bro, congratulations to you. It’s been one day since you came here, and there is one ability that you surpass Drill Instructor Cook in already.”
When the grave and stern Enzo Rota heard such praise, he couldn’t help feeling a wave of heat flood his face. Cooking food had actually been countless times harder than creating medicine or practicing martial arts. This food, which he made with diligence, actually caused Qin Fen’s eyes to turn green. What kind of taste and flavor did it have?
Cook instantly laughed so hard that it seemed like his teeth gonna fall out in his delight. He patted Enzo Rota on the shoulder very hard. “Kid, not bad, not bad! I saw how earnestly you made the food. I was really scared that your potential would’ve exploded for the sake of your friend. I was scared that you would produce food that smelled, looked, and tasted great. You have not disappointed me at all. To be able to make a dish without color flavor or smell… you really are the disciple upon which I will impart my legacy.”
Enzo Rota tossed Qin Fen an apologetic gaze. To be able to make Qin Fen turn green from eating… this was something extremely hard to do.
The final mouthful of the food was finally swallowed, and Qin Fen was already sweating from his forehead. Enzo Rota had brought cooking to the realm of the most disgusting. He had a talent that was out of the ordinary.
“Excellent! I shall declare something! From today on, all of Little Qin’s food will be your, Enzo Rota’s, responsibility.”
Cook cast Qin Fen a very retaliatory old gaze toward Qin Fen when he finished speaking. He had seen the disgusting food he made through hard work be completely eaten by Qin Fen with a delightful gaze time and time again. Cook always held a feeling of certain frustration and failure that was indescribable.
Today! He finally discovered that he could defeat Qin Fen through Enzo Rota’s body. It was the dawn that could torment Qin Fen! This made him feel incomparably excited and incomparably delighted.
The ringtone of the cell phone on Qin Fen’s body rang once more at this time. The canteen was relatively quiet, so the sound was exceptionally clear to everyone.
It was a phone number that Qin Fen didn’t recognize. Qin Fen was a bit baffled. The people who knew his cell phone number were quite few in number. Why was there an unfamiliar number calling him?
Qin Fen answered the phone, and a voice he wasn’t really familiar with could be heard through the receiver. “Qin… Qin Fen… save… save…” Static filled the line.
Lin Jiaxuan? Qin Fen two eyebrows lifted up. How did she find his number? Why does her voice sound like she was in pain? Why was there also the sound of ocean water? Could she be by the seashore?
Beep beep beep beep…
The sound that came through the receiver turned completely into the cutoff tone at this time.
Qin Fen contemplated for a moment as he held his cell phone. He got up they quickly walked toward the exit of the canteen. “I am going out for a moment, you guys help me out.”
Qin Fen walked out of the canteen and quick in his footsteps. No matter how he heard it, Lin Jiaxuan’s voice sounded to be painful moans. Even though he hadn’t really interacted with her much at all, since someone else was asking for his help, he couldn’t just ignore it.
As he left the military camp, Qin Fen simply raised his four-star Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, and he quickly dashed toward the seashore.
He quickly arrived at the place where they first met. The beach was silver under the moonlight, with waves and waves of chills. The tide crashed on the seacoast and retreated time and time again.
At the confluence between tide and seacoast, Qin Fen saw Lin Jiaxuan laying on the sandy beach, not moving even an inch.
“Something couldn’t have gone wrong during training, right?”
Bad premonitions flashed in Qin Fen’s mind. He quickly dashed over to her.
Today, Lin Jiaxuan wasn’t like the last time, when she was completely naked.
She wore a pair of white shorts. The spacious T-shirt practically enveloped the entirety of her shorts, revealing beautiful legs that were fair, white, and smooth. If it weren’t for the ocean water brushing upon her, revealing a bit of her shorts, it looked like she really was just wearing a single T-shirt and nothing else.
The body, beneath the one hundred percent white cotton T-shirt, did not contain a bra to protect the chest at all. After being soaked by the brush of seawater, the perfect mounds on her chest closely stuck to the T-shirt. One could even see the perkiness of the nipples. They were in the shape of juicy peaches. It was very easy for one to get the impulse to want to tear apart the T-shirt and fondle with these goods.
Lin Jiaxuan moaned. Her complexion was a bit pale. It was unknown just how many times she woke from unconsciousness.
She just so happened to see Qin Fen right next to her side. She awkwardly lifted her head to look at herself. The pure cotton T-shirt was already completely soaked. It stuck to her body, making her look no different than wearing no clothes at all.
No! Compared to not wearing any clothes, the appearance of soaked clothes sticking to the body was much more capable of letting a man have some physiological responses generated and engage in the actions of a beast.
“You… don’t you look…”
Lin Jiaxuan was anxious, angry, ashamed, and furious all at the same time. It was all because of this man before her eyes. She was incapable of cultivating after making her breakthrough in her own martial arts, yet she was unable to find him for help no matter how she looked. She could only rely on her own feelings to go explore the direction of cultivation.
In the end, facts were proven once more. Not just any person had the talent to modify martial art.
In the ocean, she, who encountered problems when taking off her clothes and cultivating, had arrived at the shore with great difficulty after putting on some tiny shorts and a T-shirt. She didn’t have the capability to do anything else. Her entire self collapsed on the sandy shore.
Qin Fen then turned his head to the side. He was still a man, after all. If he didn’t have any reactions seeing such a scene, he reckoned that he should go get his body examined and checked to see if he had any illnesses.
Proper virtue and morals controlled Qin Fen’s thoughts. He knew that there were some things he shouldn’t see right now, and to prevent accident seeing some things, he should step back and look away.
“Are you hurt?”
“Yes… the injury is very serious. My energy is in disorder…” Lin Jiaxuan was weak and without strength, but she responded full of resentment. “I made a breakthrough, but I don’t have the cultivation techniques for the latter parts. I was not able to find you as well, so I could only try to feel about and practice on my own.”
….
Qin Fen was silent for a moment. After he modified the martial art last time, he really should have followed her up. Lin Jiaxuan’s current situation, besides her own stubborn nature to win, was partially due to him. He was partially responsible.
