The Favored Son of Heaven

Under the cloak, a simple word came out. The blood ranking ninth’s chest was as though he was rammed by the Electro Warrior in high velocity. Once again, blood spewed out of his mouth. The wall behind him shattered, pieces falling onto the ground with a  thump. He could barely stand firm after he retreated a few steps back into the room.

The blood ranking ninth, Phantom Blood! With a simple word from the opponent, he was forced back non-stop as blood gushed out from his mouth!

“You…” The blood ranking ninth’s eyes glinted with a hint of doubt, “Are you not going to kill me?”

The pupils under the cloak glared with an aura that was comparable to thunder in the night sky. Phantom Blood’s legs subconsciously retreated backward.

With just a gaze, Phantom Blood felt as if his heart was pierced, making it feel like he had lost control and was close to exploding.

Assassins were always prepared for death, even before the mission was executed.

Phantom Blood couldn’t believe that he, one who wasn’t afraid of death, would be forced to retreat with only a gaze.

The fierce ruckus quickly caused the other rooms to turn on their lights. Phantom Blood looked at Qin Fen, who was slowly opening his eyes even though his combat power was temporarily absent. It was the best chance to kill Qin Fen. If he didn’t kill Qin Fen now, Qin Fen would gain a lot of experience from this battle and his strength would have escalated to the next level after his body recovered.

He was unwilling! Phantom Blood had both of his fists gripped tightly. His right hand that faced Qin Fen’s fist head-on was numb. With such disparity of strength between the two, the stronger one could still feel numb. What kind of potential was this?

Looking up at the cloaked man in front of Qin Fen, a powerless feeling came over Phantom Blood. The cloaked man was like a great devil from the purgatory, with that finger being like the legendary Ruyi Jingu Bang [1] that was difficult to be moved.

“Ai!”

With a sigh, Phantom Blood held his chest with a hand. He stomped both his feet stomp on the ground as he turned and rushed towards another direction.

Qin Fen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the back of the man standing in front of him.

Under the dark night, the cloaked man looked like a high-rise precipice. He was simply standing without releasing any true energy, yet he gave others a feeling that even if the sky fell down, he would be able to hold it up.

Qin Fen was stunned. This back of this figure was a bit unfamiliar, yet filled with familiarity.

“Brother…”

The male figure in front of him suddenly shook a little.

After being silent for half a second, he, with a single leap, appeared high in the sky, his departure silent and graceful. He flew away in a manner that completely went against Earth’s gravity.

It was rumored that, whether it was paleo martial arts or the modern arts, upon reaching a certain realm, one would be able to fly in the sky!

It was rumored that Sacred Martial Hall had given this martial art that could enable flight the name “the Wukong Technique”.

Qin Fen stared at the sky. Unlike many other fake rumors, the Wukong technique really existed.

“Qin Fen!”

From hao Huzi’s room came a thunderous roar. His high-speed movement caused enough friction to created muffled thunder sounds. He arrived beside Qin Fen after many mid-air maneuvers. His angry eyes searched everywhere. He then extended his hand and held Qin Fen’s wrist to carefully feel for the pulse.

“The injury is not light. His right arm has a slight fracture but it will not hinder his daily life…” Zhao Huzi’s face scrunched up, “You are unable to battle for a while. Your meridian and internal organs have suffered different degrees of damage. Why are you so careless?”

Qin Fen looked at the dark night sky in a daze. Although he only saw man’s back figure, it was full of warmth and kind concern. That figure seen from behind was like his brother… but if it was his brother, why did he not look back at me? Or even talk to me?

“Somebody!” Zhao Huzi yelled at the top of his lung, “Where are the guards? Doctors? I want to send you all to the military court!”

Under the night sky, Zhao Huzi’s angry voice echoed. Qin Fen sighed secretly. This assassination, besides the fact that the opponent was too strong, was the result of his lack of responsibility. If he wasn’t so preoccupied with the Taichi’s world of hardness within softness, if he had his usual vigilance, even if the opponent hid the killing intent completely under the skin and pores, the opponent still wouldn’t be able to hide his essence of human life.

I’m too careless! Qin Fen barely released a sigh and adjusted his body’s tangled true energy.

The blood rank ninth’s true energy was like a maggot that attached to the bone. It entered the meridian and morphed into a car that went in the opposite direction on the highway. It entangled with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art true energy in the body like a huge collision between thousands of cars on the highway.

Under the skin, true energy collided with each other, looking like worms circulating beneath the skin when viewed with the naked eyes.

“That is troublesome!” Zhao Huzi grabbed his hair, hard. He had never seen Qin Fen’s true energy flow. He couldn’t help even if he wanted to. A blind helping hand would only hurt Qin Fen.

“Where is everyone!?” Zhao Huzi stood up from the squat and screamed towards the crowd that was building up around him, “Doctor! If you don’t come here, I am going to murder your whole family!”

The crowd was separated as several men and women in white coats rushed to the scene. They carried Qin Fen onto a stretcher clumsily. No one dared to look at General Zhao with his wrathful eyes.

“Xing Wuyi!” Zhao Huzi pointed to Xing Wuyi, “You bring a few people and look after Qin Fen for me. If anything happens to him, I will question you!”

Xing Wuyi was standing beside Qin Fen’s stretcher with a gloomy expression. He called several people to follow him to the hospital. The true energy was visibly tangling in the naked eye. This was a very troublesome problem.

“Guards?” Zhao Huzi activated a technique and dashed out from the crowd, “Who are the guards tonight?”

The appearance of assassins during the recruit tournament became the discussion between the soldiers from all over the world who participated in the tournament. This was the first time in the history of the recruit tournament to happen, and moreover, it happened to Qin Fen, who was currently in the limelight right now.

Could it be that the military regions of the other continents were displeased and made a move, ambushing Qin Fen to stop his winning streak that was gaining great momentum? It wasn’t that there weren’t any ambushes that happened in the military. As long as there was no evidence, everything was fine.

Or maybe, who had Qin Fen offended? Look at this scene, there was definitely an intention to kill.

In the dark alleys outside the military camp, the blood ranking ninth held his chest and fled quickly. If the actual strength of the army was really put to use, even if he hid three feet underground, he would still be dug out. He must escape in the shortest time.

The city of Switzerland wasn’t too big. The recruit competition was in a relatively remote location. Phantom Blood rushed ten miles into the wilderness. He could no longer suppress the wounds. Once he opened his mouth, blood spewed out and both his legs knelt to the ground.

Huhuhu…

Phantom Blood turned around and sat on the ground. Both his palms were holding his chest to suppress the tumultuous blood. His eyes glinted in desperation as he stared at the dark sky. Who was the man in the cloak? He looked so young. How could he be so ferocious with just one finger? That finger seemed to point out at random. He didn’t put any strength to it at all!

Why? Why? Phantom Blood readjusted the rummaging blood in his body. Why did the man save Qin Fen but not make a move to kill? When did he appear? How did I not noticed?

Si…

The eyes of the Phantom Blood flashed with a trace of alertness. His body jumped up like a monkey. He stared at the far end of the dark night and said, “Friend, since you are here, please show yourself.”

“Is it you who injured Qin Fen?”

In the night, Chen Feiyu slowly walked out in his uniform. His eyes were like an abyss far darker than the dark sky.

Phantom Blood stared intently at Chen Feiyu’s fists with his eyes. The moment this man appeared, his fists became surrounded with thick bloody killing intent. It was indeed a pressure that seeped into the bone as it was evident that they have taken away many lives.

This is a real killer! Both the pupils of Phantom Blood constricted. He usually isn’t afraid of martial artists with only seven star-class.

However, today… Phantom Blood raised his hand to press against the flowing blood in his chest. The injury wasn’t much lighter than Qin Fen. He only didn’t fall to the ground due to his substantial true energy.

The cloaked man seemed to have done it deliberately? With a flash in the pupils of Phantom Blood, cold sweat formed on his back. Was the man able to calculate the intensity of damage inflicted based on the strength of his move?

“You are able to hurt Qin Fen?” Chen Feiyu bent slightly. The bloody aura of his legs and fist grew more intense, “How strong are you? Ten-star? Eleven-star? Or is it twelve-star?”

With these words, the bloody aura of Chen Feiyu’s fists gradually enveloped his entire body.

Phantom Blood’s eye muscles twitched a little uncontrollably. How could a man with only seven stars have an aura that was akin to the god of killing? How many people has he killed? In the face of a higher star-class opponent, how could he be so confident?

“Twelve-star.” Phantom Blood had his chest slightly raised as his index finger gently shook in front of his chest, “You are merely a seven-star martial artist. You’re inadequate.”

“Oh, Twelve-star.” Chen Feiyu slowly nodded. With a horse stance [2], his left palm gently pressed against his waist and his right palm slid out slightly, “Although I don’t know who injured you, how much strength is left within you? Nine-star? Eight-star? Seven-star or six-star?”

Phantom Blood took a cold breath into the abdomen and complained secretly inside his heart. How does   this man only have seven-star strength? He has such a pair of sharp eyes!

“My strength has indeed dropped a lot but…” Phantom Blood eyes glowed as his face turned into a cold sneer, “It is adequate to kill you! What I’m especially thankful for, is that you gave me so much time to suppress the injury and restore my strength. ”

“Is that so?” Chen Feiyu’s right foot tapped the ground. His body retreated two meters back, as he raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Well, I will give you some extra time for you to rest, how about that? I hope you can recover to the strength of twelve-star. However, I’m afraid that your strength is decreasing with every second.”

Phantom Blood was stunned for a while. The muscles of his body also became stiff. The body’s injury had reached the point where it couldn’t be suppressed. If he didn’t immediately meditate with a calm mind, his battle stance would worsen his injury and lower his strength by a level every second! How did he figure out this secret?

“Are you amazed?” Chen Feiyu drew a semicircle in front of him with his right leg, “Next, you will see more surprises, such as…”

Not good! It’s a trap. There is someone else! Phantom Blood cried in panic deep down in his heart. The true energy within his body hastened up. The weeds under his feet were pushed to the sides as he dashed to the right like an arrow.

“If you can run away, my name, Xue Tian will be written upside down[3]!”

A giant black net that was indistinguishable to the naked eye descended from the sky. Phantom Blood used both his hands to push away the black net that covered his body. Both his arms tore at it forcefully!

Zizi.

Blood gushed out from the fingertips of Phantom Blood. The feeling of pain was transmitted through his every nerve.

What is this? Phantom Blood writhed using all of his strength. The black net that covered his body contracted with each twist he made. The space for him to move had become smaller and smaller.

“Keep going, keep going.”

Under the pitch-black sky, Xue Tian crossed his hands in front of his chest and looked at Phantom Blood leisurely, “If you still had the strength of twelve-star, I admit that the net I made now wouldn’t be able to hold you back. However, how much strength are you left with? Seven-star? Do you still have it?”

“Six-star.” Chen Feiyu said faintly as he straightened up his stance, “He only has the strength of six-star.”

“Six-star?” Xue Tian whistled exaggeratedly, “If Old Qin was in the net, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee that my net would be able to trap him. However, for any other six-star martial artists besides him, I can guarantee that no one can break free from it!”

“You guys are too fast. Why don’t you leave me some action?” Lin Liqiang patted Chen Feiyu’s shoulder, “Just now, your anger seems like you really wanted to kill him. It seems that Old Qin has a heavy place in your heart.”

“Yes.” Chen Feiyu stared at Lin Liqiang’s bright eyes, “Besides my sister, he carries the most weight in my heart.”

“Haha, I like your honesty.” Lin Liqiang raised his hand and made a crisp snap. A red sphere appeared in his palm after a twist of his wrist, “I always thought that Old Qin would have few friends. If he can make a real friend like you, then I will give that person a gift. Although this is incomparable to the God-Demon Body in Old Qin’s hand, it is also something that I, the biochemical beast genius, Lin Liqiang produced.”

“Young Master Linnn!!” Xue Tian dragged a long sound and he simply extended his five-fingers, “What about me?”

“Yours? I haven’t made it yet.” Lin Liqiang touched his chin. “The last time I saw Young Master Xue, I have been tailoring one for you. Our distinguished biochemical beast has to extend the male function no matter what. It needs to have the ability to improve the pleasure in bed, right? This can’t be sloppy.”

Xue Tian gave Lin Liqiang a ruthless bear hug, “You’re worthy to be my confidant! Although our bodies are great, as a man, who doesn’t want to be stronger?! Right now, the biochemical beast manufacturer has not noticed this aspect at all. ”

“I…” Chen Feiyu looked at the two men who were warmly embracing each other. He said after a moment of silence, “I might not be able to use biochemical beast.”

“What?” Lin Liqiang turned around, “Is there anyone who is unable to use biochemical beast?”

“Me…” Chen Feiyu said after a heavy sigh, “I only have half of the meridian of an ordinary human…”

“So what?” Lin Liqiang said as he rolled his eye, “This thing in your hand, although it isn’t as mystical as Qin Fen’s God-Demon Body, is still one of my mystical specimens. You don’t know, right? As biochemical beast manufacturer, I can encounter any kind of person. I have even met a weird fellow without any meridian.”

“This… I…” Chen Feiyu’s palm trembled. He couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart, “Can I use it?”

“Of course.” Lin Liqiang shrugged. “That’s just a small problem. Any powerful biochemical beast manufacturer can circumvent this problem in the designing and manufacturing stage.”

Chen Feiyu carefully took the biochemical beast egg. With this, he had an increment in his chances to face the nightmare he had the other day!

“Oh! Right!” Lin Liqiang pointed to the sky with his index finger swaying around, “The biochemical beast holds a lot of risks when it hatches and fuses. I have adjusted Old Qin’s one. However, I haven’t adjusted yours yet. To tell the truth, the adjustment of the thing very troublesome. It not only consumes a lot of time, but also consumes a lot of money. I’m not rich. Old Qin’s one almost made me bankrupt, really…”

“That is enough. Really, it is enough.” Chen Feiyu clasped his fingers, “Thank you, thank you very much.”

“You make me…” Lin Liqiang raised his hand and scratched his head, “You’re making me feel embarrassed. Let us first investigate this hideous scoundrel. Who sent this person to kill Old Qin?”

“Don’t look. He is already dead.” Xue Tian squatted down and looked at Phantom Blood in the net, “This man actually hid more than three ways to commit suicide on his body. Hey? This is… a red metal card? And carved with nine words? What is the meaning of it?”

Lin Liqiang and Chen Feiyu looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

Xue Tian’s two fingers pinched the identification of the blood ranking ninth and gently turned it, “The efficiency of the military camp here is too bad. Let us call them to inform them of the location. Why haven’t they driven here yet? Do they want us to carry this dead body back?”

Chen Feiyu pointed his fingers at the sky. An X2 Combat Helicopter flew at high speed.

Di… di… di…

Numerous instruments were attached to Qin Fen’s body on the bed. Several advanced medical instruments transmitted Qin Fen’s body data.

The fractured arm had been carefully treated by the doctor. The remaining internal injuries couldn’t be treated by modern technology.

At the door of the quiet ward, stood two seasoned soldiers brought by Zhao Huzi while more than a dozen soldiers patrolled around the hospital.

In the quiet ward, Qin Fen was lying alone on the bed.

Zhao Huzi stood outside the room and stared at Qin Fen. The young man’s true energy was too weird. His eyesight, after many years of practicing paleo martial arts, still couldn’t see how his true energy worked. Dragon Elephant Prajna Art should not work as such.

“Ai…” Zhao Huzi shook his head and placed his hands on his waist, “In this case, no one can help! Boy, you have to fight for yourself!”

Dida… dida… dida…

The boring monotonous sound from the instrument repeated over and over again. Qin Fen’s eyes were slightly closed. His whole body was immersed in the true energy of the body.

Phantom Blood’s true energy was very strange and was unlike any true energy that had invaded his body in the past.

On normal days, even if there was true energy that invaded the body, it was like a buffalo that charged in with its horns. As long as it was diffused, it could be molded softly and be excreted.

Phantom Blood’s true energy seemed to have life and wisdom. In the face of a large number of true energy that was gathered together, they would automatically choose to avoid and escape. The soft energy traction would have no effect on them.

If I faint now, at this time? Entering the dream… Qin Fen pouted. His eyebrows were screwed together unconsciously. If I rely on others to solve my problems when I encounter them, how can I actually grow and improve?
