The Favored Son of Heaven

Deafening claps of thunder shook the entire stadium as blood came dripping down the ears of hundreds of thousands of people almost at the same time. And the viewers who were watching the entire thing on their computer took off their headphones immediately, covering their ears with their hands to shield their ears from the deafening clap that had just entered their ears.

The people in the stadium covered their ears on one side as they felt the shock under their feet caused by the collision on the other side. Their bodies rocked left and right as they tried to avoid falling down.

The aura energy filled the entire sky as the huge palm of Ten Thousand Buddha Greets that was visible to the naked eye disintegrate into pieces after pressing Qin Fen thirty-some meters back. Qin Fen, hovering in the air, looked at Tathagata who had disappeared into the horizon already. He gently exercised the fingers of his right hand as he looked in the direction where Tathagata had disappeared; a deep furrow on his brow as he fell into his thoughts. Is this the strength of the heaven aura? After one’s martial dao entered the human aura realm, the gap between every realm is like the difference between heaven and earth.

“Tathagata…”

Qin Fen took a deep breath with a solemn look on his face. After this battle, he had a deeper understanding of Saturn’s strength. If Tathagata had entered the realm of heaven aura, then Kshitigarbha, Jade Emperor must also be in heaven aura realm. And similarly, King Qin Guang, who enjoyed equal fame, might also have the strength of heaven aura realm.

Tathagata was stronger than he had expected.

“Old Qin.” Xue Tian flew to Qin Fen’s side holding his katana and said with a smile, “Tell me, if the constellation warriors are actually in the heaven aura realm, then what realm has the legendary divine beasts has entered?”

“Divine beast..”

Qin Fen shook his head lightly. Perhaps I should ask Master, who had fought with Qilin once, what realm Song Wendong’s strength was actually in. With that, it might be possible to predict the strength of other divine beast martial artists.

“Qin Fen, you killed my Xianglong, I will definitely kill you to avenge Xianglong…”

Tathagata’s message floated over from the distant horizon. His powerful and sonorous voice echoed in every direction. Qin Fen, on the other hand, said nothing. Apparently, Tathagata had not used his entire strength just now when he cast the Ten Thousand Buddha Greets. The difference between the heaven aura and earth aura was like the gap between earth aura and the human aura.

Tathagata might have left but Qin Fen was still here. Countless people watching the concert over the internet looked at Qin Fen with surprise.

Martial artists in the ranks of martial dao master rarely showed up in public. And even more rarely fought in public. Many of the rumors regarding martial dao masters were usually just someone’s speculations.

In the rumors, all martial dao masters were over the age of forty; some even had white beards hanging down to their chests. Almost no one in the Federation expected such a young martial dao master to exist in the world. And what they had not expected even more so was that a fight between martial dao master could not be seen by the naked eye; they could only hear the deafening claps from their clashes.

“Is this young man’s name Qin fen?”

“There is actually such a young martial dao master in the Federation?”

The viewers over the internet looked at the landing Qin Fen, flabbergasted, whereas Ya Fei and Ya Xin, who were standing on the wrecked stage, looked at Qin Fen with a smile on their faces.

At this moment, melodious music echoed in the stadium once again. The rioting crowd no longer returned to their seats; they simply stood in their places, reveling the melodious voices of the two girls.

Without the splendid stage or various efficient acoustics, the heavy metal rock of the two girls returned to the most original state of the music for a moment. It juxtapositioned with the lingering vibes of the previous battle, they performed a concert of the highest level in their long career.

At the end of the four-hour-long concert, the members of the Flying Hearts were escorted by the army to a smaller area in the range of the military headquarters. The death of the Terrorist King would not cause any setback to the crazy terrorists. On the contrary, it would only act as a stimulant. In order to protect the safety of the two girls, the military headquarters was the safest place.

If terrorists wanted to enter the military headquarters, they must face Qin Fen’s team of martial dao masters first. This was absolutely an impossible mission for a terrorist organization that just had almost all its high-level experts killed.

At the end of the concert, the Federation’s network entered an unprecedented state of fervor. Countless sites broadcasted the scene of Qin Fen’s decisive battle with the Terrorist King. Although they couldn’t even see a shadow, much less kicks and punches, listening to their clash was enough to make the viewers’ blood boil!

The sky battle net forum had the largest influx of people in a day since their server was created.

Countless people were discussing Qin Fen. The legendary Terrorist King had fallen; he had become the most important stepping stone for the rise of the legend, Qin Fen.

Some well-informed people even dug out the material pertaining to the battle of Hallasan and found all the details on Bae Seong-Joon and Kyokushin Kouten, who were killed by Qin Fen in that battle.

For a while, Qin Fen’s reputation continued to rise. Xue Tian and Solomon also attracted the attention of a large number of people at the same time. The three youngsters…no! It was a group of youngsters of similar age! There was indeed a new group of young martial artists who didn’t fight in the video but were all capable of flying.

“Qin Fen is so fierce! Haha, I am really skillful in teaching and providing guidance! Even if I can’t be a divine beast martial artist in this life, I guess I can really be a master of a divine beast.”

In the Sacred Martial Hall, Ferrero, who was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, nudged Sakra’s shoulder with his elbow with a smile on his lips, watching the battle through the projection that others could not see. “Tell me, if we fought with Qin Fen now, who do think will win?”

The corner of Sakra’s eyes twitched as he cast a sidelong glance at Ferrero. Suddenly, he stood up and started walking towards the exit, leaving a few words as he walked out of the room. “I want to go to Saturn.”

“Saturn!? Sakra, you haven’t forgotten that our Sacred Martial Hall has an aloof status, have you? We can’t intervene…”

“I know, so, I will just take a look and come back.”

“Then, count me in too!”

Saturn’s military headquarters was busier than ever. Many young residents of Saturn were calling, one by one, just to ask the same question: the conditions and methods of joining the army.

Qin Fen returned to his room in a hurry and took a shower. And just when he returned to the bedroom, he received a message.

Solomon has disappeared. In order words, Solomon left the military headquarters and no one could find where he went.

“Disappeared?” Qin Fen looked at the flashing message icon at the upper right corner of the screen. He casually opened and to his surprise, it was a message from Solomon.

I’m going out for a while. You can carry on with your things. Just give me a call if there is a problem. Don’t disturb if there is nothing, I am going to cut some people.

Qin Fen closed the text message and pondered for a while. He knew that this guy was most likely going to the terrorist organization to relive his boredom.

Generally, only a few martial dao masters would pay attention to terrorists. Terrorists might not be normal but they rarely provoked martial dao master-like terrifying existences. And martial dao master also had friends and families. They usually didn’t provoke the terrorist organization. As such, both sides lived in peace and quiet with each other.

But Solomon was different. So what if the terrorists attacked Solomon Family for revenge? What did that have to do with him? And if terrorists wanted to trouble Miss Fiery? It wasn’t a big problem. All they needed was to charge into Saturn’s military headquarter first.

“Terrorist organizations may remain really quiet for some time.” Qin Fen leaned back and mumbled to himself. He reached out and picked up the helmet for the sky battle net that was ordered to be placed by the bed by Yang Lie.

Looking at the helmet in his hands that he hadn’t touched for many days, a warm smile appeared on Qin Fen’s lips. Back then, it used to be one of my main sources of income. I haven’t gone online for a really long time.

As Qin Fen connected the helmet, the familiar login screen reappeared before him. Qin Fen quickly entered the forgotten account name.

“Welcome, Thirty-Six Hours…”

A familiar voice, a familiar scene. Qin Fen appeared on a barely familiar street, looking at the passerby in surprise.

The sky battle net had a variety of functions. One of which was the option to choose to let your nickname visible on top of your head for the others to see. But only a few people would use this option. Everyone preferred to hide their nickname.

But today, this street was very different from the usual. The passerby had all chosen to show their nicknames. And all these nicknames were similar.

‘Real. Qin Fen’, ‘Qin Fen. my idol’, ‘I will only marry. Qin Fen’, ‘Qin Fen. The real man’, ‘Invincible under the heavens. Qin Fen’…

Qin Fen, standing on the virtual street of the sky battle net, watching those people moving back and forth with their IDs visible to everyone, was somewhat dumbfounded.

It has only been a few hours since I left the concert and returned to the military headquarters but so many have already appeared on the sky battle net…

Qin Fen’s network communicator beeped continuously. As he opened his mailbox, he discovered that the messages in it were no longer in the thousands. Since the last time he fought in here in the nine-star level, the Thirty-Six Hours name had already gone famous throughout the internet.

Countless people had sent challenges to his mailbox. Furthermore, each and every one of them had offered a very high price. There were many nine-star martial artists in it. Obviously, they want to stimulate the hope to enter the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth with a fight with a fellow nine-star martial artist.

The moments he switched on the communicator, Zhang Xiangyang’s voice entered his ears, “Qin Fen!? Is that you? Where are you? How come you have the time to come here? How strong are you now? I just used the money to take pictures but I found that the system only gave me two question marks.”

Question marks!? Qin Fen raised his head as he looked at the virtual blue sky, smiling. It seems that the Federation’s sky battle net cannot measure everyone’s star-class. However, who knows how many levels it has reached. It can’t be tested!

“Now, where is Dragon Hall’s main altar?”

“Knowing that you love money, it’s still in the old place. Its position hasn’t changed.”

Old position!? Qin fen turned around and said. “Wait for me.”

The Dragon Hall was still the same as it used to be. Today, it was a behemoth that occupied half of this virtual planet but it didn’t reveal a shred of its brilliance. Only this tranquility could make everyone feel its power.

On this virtual planet, someone was always challenging and attacking other guilds and dojos. If real peace could be found here, it could only be said that its power and influence was too great.

Zhang Xiangyang was already standing by the door, accompanied by a group of people as well. Qin Fen recognized some of the few among them, they were those dandy policemen from Tianbei.

The world of sky battle net could be said to have no ten-star level expert. These people of Tianbei City had the diagram for the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth and the martial arts and internal arts modified by Qin Fen when he left, as well as the training methods left by Qin Fen. These people had been training non-stop. Each of them had now become an invincible existence in the sky battle net.

Eleven-star and even twelve-star martial artists might not be that big of a deal for martial dao masters. But to these normal martial artist guilds and dojos, they could only look up to these people.

Furthermore, they were all very young. They had a bright future ahead of them. The fourteen-star level wasn’t impossible for them. Even Great Inborn Nirvana Marrow Transformation wasn’t without some chance.

Zhang Xiangyang was only in the nine-star level. And it wasn’t that he didn’t have the Blood Transfusion Rebirth’s diagram. Qin Fen had given him a copy through Enzo Rota. But there are some people in the world who were just not made for martial arts. Zhang Xiangyang had taken several months to complete the Blood Transfusion Rebirth but he still hadn’t entered the ten-star level.

Zhang Xiangyang gave Qin Fen a bear hug. Looking at the look of pity in Qin Fen’s eyes, he smiled indifferently. “It’s alright. My specialty isn’t martial arts. I will be a big man in the future. You can give me a few martial dao masters to be my bodyguards, can’t you?”

“Captain…”

Captain: it was just a police officer position when he was in Tianbei. Qin Fen, upon hearing this, hugged Young Gun King and the others. Then he looked at the remaining unfamiliar faces.

Zhang Xiangyang walked up those people and pointed at Qin Fen. “Thirty-Six Hours is the true leader of Dragon Hall. Well, I have told you before, he had killed the State of Korea’s Martial God, Bae Seong-Joon. And what he has done recently, you should be very clear, right?”

A series of low-pitched exclamations rang out, one after another. Everyone was staring at Qin Fen in anticipation, as he had had his face covered ever since the beginning. They wanted to take a closer look at this super expert whom they had recently seen on the broadcast.

“Qin Fen…” Zhang Xiangyang pointed to Qin Fen’s face.

The cover disappeared, revealing the face that everyone had seen in the broadcast.

All these people were the core members of Dragon Hall. Furthermore, Qin Fen used to hide his face back then was to make more money. But today, it was no longer necessary. As such, Qin Fen didn’t care about this protection.

Exclamations sounded again from the crowd.

Hearing about someone was just hearing, and really seeing with their own eyes was another thing. Everyone carefully stepped forward and observed Qin Fen meticulously. Apart from exhilaration, pride and excitement could be found in their eyes.

Dragon Hall! The Dragon Hall belongs to a real expert! Everyone was happy about their choices on that day. With the expansion of the Dragon Hall, it was harder and harder to become its core member. Anyone who could become its core member felt extremely proud.

The high and mighty martial dao masters almost never appeared on the sky battle net. And today, they could see a martial dao master in flesh. And it wasn’t an ordinary martial dao master, but someone who was far stronger than many martial dao masters!

“Can I touch you?”

“Can you give me an autograph? My son is a fan of yours…”

“Can I take a photo with you? I…”

The core members of the Dragon Hall voiced their thoughts, once after another. There weren’t just young people among them, there were some middle-aged people as well.

Since the beginning, Zhang Xiangyang had not planned on building the Dragon Hall into an organization that focused on martial strength. Rather, he had really wanted to build it into a huge comprehensive force.

Zhang Xiangyang didn’t know why Qin Zhan had come to such a decision back then, why he believed Qin Fen would definitely become a powerful expert. But Zhang Xiangyang held Qin Zhan’s decision in absolute trust. Just as Qin Zhan believed that Qin Fen could become a powerful expert for sure, Zhang Xiangyang believed that Qin Zhan’s vision would never be wrong.

Not everyone had the ability to build a team for an expert. Zhang Xiangyang was quite aware that there were many people in this world who were not any inferior to him in terms of management. But they didn’t have such an opportunity. Since he had encountered such an opportunity, he could never let it pass.

In just a few years, Zhang Xiangyang had rapidly expanded the Dragon Hall by relying on the legends created by Thirty-Six Hours on the sky battle net.

Although it seemed that it was only on the sky battle net, this virtual network, Zhang Xiangyang was a hundred percent convinced that it wasn’t impossible to gather these people in real life now. A huge and powerful comprehensive organization could be quickly established in a short time.

“Touch it…”

“Do you want an autograph in real life!? Where should I sign? What? It’s no trouble at all…”

“Oh, you can take a photo…”

Qin Fen, facing these Dragon Hall members who were showing a friendly attitude to him, answered them one after another. He became really busy for a moment.

During this period, many core members of the Dragon Hall received a message from Zhang Xiangyang in real life through the internet. One by one, they all logged into the sky battle net. None of them had expected that they could really see Qin Fen.

“Mr. Qin, I came back at the cost of an early leave fine. Can you give me an autograph and take a picture with me?”

“…okay…”

“Mr. Qin, my wife asked me when we have a child, can you accept him as your disciple? If that doesn’t work, a grand disciple is also fine…”

“…as long as he is upright and conscientious in his work, it’s okay. Even if I don’t have the time to personally guide him, I will find someone to teach him seriously. It’s true for the sons and daughters of any core member of the Dragon Hall.”

Cheers shot straight to the virtual sky! Everyone was very clear how difficult it was for someone to do his or her apprenticeship under a martial dao master. Everyone understood quite clearly what Qin Fen’s commitment represented.

It wasn’t important whether they could become a martial dao master or not, but if he or she could, it couldn’t be any better. Even if they couldn’t become martial dao master, just the fact that they trained under Qin Fen would pave the way for a relatively easy future for their children.

As for the confidence that Qin Fen could become a divine beast martial artist, everyone had even more confidence than Qin Fen himself due to the long-term instigation and encouragement.

After a round of hues and cries, everyone slowly calmed down. An expert like Qin Fen would never enter the sky battle net for no reason. People let him enter the hall connecting the two martial dojos and sat on the ground.

Qin Fen, looking at the martial artists sitting closely in arranged order, realized that Zhang Xiangyang was really powerful, even more fearsome than what he had heard in the rumors. To his surprise, such a large hall was crowded already. Moreover, some core members would appear at the gate from time to time, trying to squeeze into the door.

“Cough, cough…” Zhang Xiangyang, looking at the overcrowded hall, coughed forcefully, twice. “It seems, I need to find some time to expand the hall.”

Qin Fen scratched his forehead. Today’s situation was caused by his previous obsession with money. It could only lead to this kind of situation because he left such an idea to Zhang Xiangyang.

A joyful smile appeared on Qin Fen’s lips as he recalled the past. If I get a do-over, I would still choose the stingy lifestyle over everything! Only those who have really endured hardships knows the importance of money, know the value of money.
