The Favored Son of Heaven

“Eyes, they can sometimes trick people. You need to learn to use your feelings and your mind to analyze and discern what messages are sent from the eyes and what is wrong with them.”

Looking at completely shocked eyes of Chen Feiyu, Qin Fen suddenly recalled what Squad Leader Hao had once said.

“The person who killed your sister should be the one who crushed that other man’s heart.” Qin Fen pointed at the location of the black-clothed man’s corpse, which had just be taken away by Wang Hao, with extreme confidence. “Use your true energy to guard your sister’s heart meridian and to also wrap the murderer’s true energy in her heart. You will see that it’s exactly the same as the remnant true energy near that black-clothed man’s heart.”

“You are wrong.” Chen Feiyu slowly shook his head, his body exuded a faint mournful aura. “I don’t know how you perceived the difference in true energy but the murderer who really killed my sister is neither the men in black clothes, nor Wang Hao’s subordinates, but me…”

“Wang Hao did this because he wanted me to join his organization.” Chen Feiyu’s tone was filled with self-condemnation. “Had it not been me, her parent’s would not have been killed and her house would not have been burned. Had it not been for me, perhaps she would still be living her calm life. It was me who implicated her… I originally wanted to save more money and sneak her into Saturn…to a planet with more freedom and find the best hospital treatment for her…”

Qin Fen furrowed his brow as he silently stood up, coldly staring at Chen Feiyu who was still talking to himself.

To Qin Fen’s surprise, the tyrant king of Gruesome Madness’ basement second floor wasn’t even as good as a woman. He was only sitting on the ground, taking all the blame to himself. He wasn’t even thinking about avenging his sister. He didn’t deserve to be called as a man, he didn’t even have the basic requirements to be a brother.

Qin Fen reached out to Lin Ling. “Let’s go.”

“Hey.” Chen Feiyu suddenly called out, throwing the evolution pearl at Qin Fen.

Hearing the sound of the wind behind his head, Qin Fen raised his hand as he caught the flying evolution pearl between his two fingers. He slowly turned around and asked, rotating the priceless pearl in his fingers, “What do you want?”

“I want to do a trade.” Chen Feiyu looked up to Qin Fen. “Your cultivation has already reached the five-star peak, right? Reaching this point at such a young age obviously means your future would not be limited to just this strength. Even if you don’t this pill, you will still break through in the future. But it can shorten the time it will take for you to breakthrough. Take this and in exchange, help me kill my sister’s murderer.”

Qin Fen flicked his wrist as the evolution pearl, like a hidden weapon, returned into Chen Feiyu’s hand once more. “Even for revenge, you want to borrow someone else’s hand!?”

“If I could, I really would have taken the revenge myself. But…” A somewhat self-deprecating look appeared in Chen Feiyu’s forlorn smile. “I am just a cripple, I really can’t do it. I have once taken three of these evolution pearls, yet I was unable to achieve any breakthrough, not the slightest bit. There is no need to waste it.”

Three!? Qin Fen discovered that this man gave him far too many surprises.

Three evolution pearls! This was absolutely not a small amount. Even if a middle-class family bankrupted themselves, they could still not afford to buy three evolution pearls, and this man had actually eaten three of these.

“I know.” Chen Feiyu’s face was filled with gloom. “I know that when you heard my words, you definitely looked down on me. My own sister had been killed yet I am not even thinking about taking revenge myself.”

Qin Fen didn’t deny it. He slightly nodded his affirmation. From the beginning, this man’s performance had been truly sincere; there weren’t any false pretenses. Not to mention, Wang Hao had repeatedly sent his men in undercover to test him.

“Perhaps, if you take a fourth…”

“It’s useless!” Chen Feiyu violently interrupted Qin Fen’s advice. “For someone who only has half of the meridians that ordinary people have, even if he took a hundred evolution pearls, the result would still be the same.”

“Half the meridians of normal people!?” Astounded, Qin Fen sized up Chen Feiyu.

Since the Federation’s announcement of some martial arts, Qin Fen had never heard of anyone having half the normal amount of meridians. Even if some people didn’t have good enough natural endowments to train their martial arts to a higher level, their meridians were a hundred percent complete.

If one didn’t have complete meridians even promoting to one-star was nothing but a dream, much less pushing their martial art to five-star.

If one was missing even a single meridian, he or she would be unable to cultivate martial arts! Everyone who practiced martial arts was very clear about this basic principle.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Chen Feiyu smiled coldly. “Are you pitying me? If you are really pitying me, then help me kill my sister’s murderer.”

A silent Qin Fen shook his head. Once again, Qin Fen returned before Chen Feiyu and put his hand on Chen Feiyu’s shoulder before transfusing his true energy smoothly.

A martial artist allowing another martial artist to transfuse his true energy into his body was a very dangerous thing. One could even say that he was handing over half his life to the other party.

Chen Feiyu remained seated on the ground. He didn’t show the even the slightest bit of resistance.

Confusion and astonishment appeared on Qin Fen’s face as he slowly increased the output of his true energy once more.

To Qin Fen’s surprise, Chen Feiyu indeed only had half of the meridians. Even the theoretical master of dreamland had never explained this kind of situation. There seemed to be no similar case on the internet as well.

“Then, how did you ever reach five-star…” Withdrawing his true energy, Qin Fen looked at Chen Feiyu as if he was looking at a monster.

Usually, this kind of expression would be used by others to look at Qin Fen. Qin Fen had long since been accustomed to others treating him as a monster. He really never imagined that someday he would be using the very same expression that others used to give him to look at another guy.

“Strange, right?” Chen Feiyu looked at Qin Fen in a very calm and poised manner. “If I tell you about the strange part of my body, will you help me kill my sister’s murderer?”

“I can consider it.”

As a martial artist, Qin Fen was very interested in any martial technique that could help him produce stronger power. What method did this person, who only had half the meridians to that of ordinary people, use to have five-star level strength? Perhaps it was worth learning.

“A special set of internal arts.” Chen Feiyu weakly lifted his eyelids. “A special internal art developed specifically for people who only had half of the meridians. Unfortunately…only the first five strata are correct, the sixth level…”

That recalling look in Chen Feiyu’s eyes suddenly burst forth with trepidation. His pupils instantly constricted to the size of a needle tip.

“Everyone who cultivates to the sixth level…” Goosebumps exploded all over Chen Feiyu’s body; his voice also turned gloomy and filled with dread. “Everyone who cultivates to the sixth level will die from the explosion from their body…”

“Everyone who cultivates to the sixth level?” Qin Fen was even more curious. “You mean to say you aren’t the only one with half the meridians of ordinary people? Can you tell me the first six levels of the exercise?”

Chen Feiyu gave a weird look to Qin Fen. Can this young man keep his mind absolutely calm in any kind of situation? He actually heard everything, yet immediately remembered more than one part.

Qin Fen looked back at Chen Feiyu. An exercise that can make someone who only has half of the meridians cultivate to the five-star realm may be of great value.

Chen Feiyu remained silent for a few seconds. Finally, he could not bear that fiery look in Qin Fen’s eyes any longer.

“Now, I have nothing to worry about. If you aren’t afraid of getting into trouble, I might as well tell you.” Chen Feiyu quickly drew a human figure on the ground with his finger followed by half of the meridians a human body had. At last, he drew the circulating path in the veins as he constantly recited the chanting formula, word by word.

Qin Fen’s ears stood erect as he tried to remember everything in an earnest manner. As he heard up to the sixth level of the exercise, his face grew more and more solemn.

“What are you smiling at?” Having finished explaining, Chen Feiyu raised his head, looking at the sneering Qin Fen. “Is this exercise very amusing?”

“It’s not amusing.” Qin Fen immediately shook his head. “The creator of this exercise is amusing.”

Chen Feiyu picked his eyebrows. “How is he amusing?”

“He is wrong from the very beginning.” Squatting down, Qin Fen pointed at the first picture. “It seems there is nothing wrong with it but because of this, he made a mistake from the beginning. Therefore, this mistake also continued to the second level, then the third level, then to the fourth, and so on. But because the previous mistake didn’t seem obvious, the problem would never appear. But if you cultivate the sixth level, then, the mistake buried in the first five levels would be triggered. The moment the cultivator starts practicing the sixth level of the exercise, the exercise’s strength would suddenly increase. It can even directly rush to the levels of the seventh star. But…very soon the true energy would start running amok; the cultivator would completely lose control. The rampaging true energy would suddenly multiply several times, overburdening the body instantly which would cause the cultivator to explode…”

Chen Feiyu kept on looking at Qin Fen in a daze for a long time. Finally, he doubtfully asked, “Have you seen this kind of thing before?”

“No.” Qin Fen lightly shook his head. “However, looking at these internal arts you can figure out the result. The creator of this internal art was truly a wizard. Unfortunately, he took a very wrong direction. From the remaining signs, he had changed the sixth level of this exercise no less than ten times by my estimate.”

Now, it was Chen Feiyu’s turn to look at Qin Fen like he was looking at a monster. The cultivation of sixth level exercise was exactly the same as Qin Fen said, even the number of revisions was as he said.

Chen Feiyu knew that the sixth level of the exercise had been revised sixteen times.

Just through looking at the model, he can correctly calculate the number of revisions…if it was noticed by the Earth Martial God, the martial art grandmaster Song Wendong, it would have been very normal.  But a five-star young man, who doesn’t even look twenty years old, noticed it…

Chen Feiyu was somewhat unable to accept this.

“Only using half of the meridians to create such an exercise. This person’s imagination is truly rich.” Qin Fen, looking at the completely wrong diagram, still kept on nodding in praises. “Imaginative! It’s really imaginative! Unfortunately, his initial direction was wrong. If…”

Qin Fen was completely immersed in the enlightenment from this new internal art. He subconsciously stretched his hand out, slowly making revisions. “Changing the path here a bit, and also here. Circulating twelve times here instead of once…”
