The Favored Son of Heaven

Bai Sheng discovered suddenly that this young man named Qin Fen was far more than what was shown on the information. The problem was that most of this information was collected during the Recruit Tournament.

The information that was just collected had expired immediately? Bai Sheng’s mouth opened in disbelief. Although Qin Fen has indeed reached the peak period of growth in strength, this speed was still a little too fast, right? His understanding of martial dao, as well as the star-level he possessed, was indeed out of proportion. 

However, this kind of disproportion was completely different than most other martial artists who had shown disproportion.

A lot of martial artists would have grown too fast in strength, at a rate which exceeded their understanding of martial dao. They would ultimately stumble upon the rumored martial arts barrier in the end and would no longer be able to progress even slightly.

Bai Sheng’s mouth grew bigger and bigger with surprise. What does a disproportion indicate? For a martial artist who walked out from Sacred Martial Hall, it was extremely clear.

It indicated that if his body had enough talent, the space of development in the future would be extremely large! In the rumors, almost all of the few divine beast level grandmasters had an understanding towards martial dao that exceeded their star-level strength.

“Qin Fen, you have a limitless future. It is best to reconsider my previous proposal.”

Bai Sheng was stern once again. The Sacred Martial Hall was not lacking in geniuses, but monsters like Qin Fen were considered a rare species. Even if he could not become a divine beast level master, if they made an accidental discovery of a Constellation titled martial artist, it would still be considered a huge merit for the Sacred Martial Hall.

Qin Fen smirked while shaking his head and no longer spoke. He reached out to open up the first page of this book, “Wu”, and he was completely attracted to the records in an instant.

This was a set of fist technique, but it was not like the general fist technique book that wrote down the names of the fist technique. It only recorded the way of performing the technique, as well as the main points during battle.

This set of fist techniques was not the main thing that attracted Qin Fen. What was truly important was the person who recorded this set of fist technique. His understanding of martial arts was hidden in his writing of every single little movement, as well as in his words.

In the eyes of others, this person was just an insignificant small character within a set of ordinary fist technique. One had to understand slowly the taste of the fist technique within.

For Qin Fen, the moment the book opened, it came alive!

That’s right! Alive!

In Qin Fen’s eyes, the meridian of these insignificant people that were not active consisted of a true energy that was flowing rapidly. The torrential airflow was like the Yangtze River!

There were different oscillations in between these true energies. That was the true powerful essence of mastering this fist technique. The words that were attached at the side of the book seemed to be jumping out from the book one by one and became an essence that was hidden with a fresh and active martial dao. They imprinted deeply in Qin Fen’s mind, and the meridian in his body also began to jump with the flow.

Bai Sheng’s expression had once again become dignified and surprised. As an examiner who had read in detail all of Qin Fen’s information, he naturally knew that the surface power of this “Wu” was far behind the strength of the skills Qin Fen had already showcased. In any case, it was impossible that it could attract him to read it with such fascination.

Unless! Bai Sheng’s heart shrank a little. Unless this young man saw something on an even deeper level!

Ten minutes ago, even if Bai Sheng were to be beaten to death, he still would not believe that Qin Fen would be able to see the deeper side of the fist technique.

However, with the explanation on the book cover of “Wu”, Bai Sheng really began to suspect that Qin Fen might be able to understand this set of fist technique on a deeper level.

Although the records of the “Wu” fist below the cover were far more difficult to understand than the book cover… if Qin Fen didn’t actually see the essence, Bai Sheng would not be able to believe that Qin Fen would read it with such fascination.

Time was passing by and Bai Sheng was so shocked that he even forgot that Qin Fen had received the book half an hour ago. He stood in the same place and silently watched Qin Fen reading the “Wu” fist seriously.

Qin Fen became more surprised the more he continued to read. The records in this book seemed to be somewhat similar to a fist technique that he had previously come across. That’s right! It was the Great Brahma Ambush Palm that was taught by Lin Liqiang in Shenyang! 

The fist technique in this book had some similarities with the Great Brahma Ambush Palm, but it was just not as in-depth as the Great Brahma Ambush Palm. It felt like this was the first version, or the foundation version of it.

In an instant, Qin Fen felt that his mind became very clear. Many parts of which he did not understand in the Great Brahma Ambush Palm had become clear with the appearance of this book.

All along, Qin Fen had carried a very helpless attitude towards the Great Brahma Ambush Palm. This was an extremely powerful paleo martial art, but it never seemed to be able to be integrated into his own martial learning. Perhaps it could be used on its own to exert a great power.

Pure usage without true understanding would not serve any major purpose to a martial artist. It would only be a deadly weapon that did not differ from guns and bombs. It could not help any martial artists on their road to the peak of martial dao.

Masters and others around the same level should be able to fully understand the Great Brahma Ambush Palm. According to the habits of their personality, eight or nine out of ten would not undergo any sort of explanation.

In their words, martial dao was not as simple as a mathematical problem. Knowing and understanding were two different things. Many things in martial dao would have to be personally experienced by the martial artist.

Qin Fen understood the answer of masters and the others. If the next generation of martial artists could improve immediately just by telling them their experiences, then the next generation of martial masters should be extremely outstanding and would be able to reach the standard of their predecessors immediately. Descendants of the martial arts masters would be nobodies in the martial dao route.

By the time he reached the last page, five hours had passed.

Qin Fen exhaled a long breath and reluctantly returned the “Wu” book in his hands to Bai Sheng.

“Have you understood?”

Bai Sheng stared at Qin Fen with surprise and joy. Being able to read this book of “Wu” for five hours in the first contact was something extremely rare in the history of the establishment of Sacred Martial Hall.

“No.” Qin Fen sighed. His vision had yet to leave the “Wu” book, “This book can really be said to be extremely profound. How is it possible to absorb completely in just five hours?”

Upon finishing, Qin Fen sighed again. This book was not only a set of fist technique, there were also still many keys within it. It was a martial arts encyclopedia and had significant help particularly in terms of true energy oscillations.

Bai Sheng evaluated Qin Fen in detail. The essence of this young man was definitely not the most outstanding in the history of Sacred Martial Hall, he was probably slightly above average.

However, it was not necessary for someone to stand at the peak just because of good essence in martial learning! Essence was only a better foundation that acts as a head start during the beginning of martial arts practice.

Leading at the starting line was not sufficient enough to reach the endpoint of martial dao. The understanding of “Wu” held a greater proportion in the later period!

Looking at Qin Fen, Bai Sheng’s heart sighed. Sacred Martial Hall was a special place that would never change its standard rules for anyone. For such a good seedling in the martial arts practice, it was indeed a pity.

Ugh! Bai Sheng’s right fist clenched slightly as he made a decision that even he himself could not believe.

“Hey, I’m so exhausted.” Bai Sheng stretched his waist, “Just stay here today, leave tomorrow.”

His voice fell and Bai Sheng was already standing twenty meters away. The “Wu” fist book in his pocket had yet to fall to the ground.

Pa…

The “Wu” fist book fell onto ground, and Bai Sheng had already floated to a distance of fifty meters.

With his strength, he could definitely hear the sound of a book falling onto the ground within such distance. Yet, as if he had not heard it, he exerted force under his feet and disappeared from Qin Fen’s side with a turn.

As he picked up the “Wu” fist on the ground, Qin Fen had a respectful expression on his face and bowed deeply in the direction that Bai Sheng had disappeared into.

In this era where martial laws were extremely strict, Qin Fen was extremely clear of the danger in responsibility that Bai Sheng took up for pretending to drop a book without explicit permission.

For this book to be lost for a night, not only did Bai Sheng offended the laws of the Federation, but he also violated the iron-like rules of Sacred Martial Hall!

If this were to be discovered by someone, the lightest consequence Bai Sheng would face was to have his martial practices abolished! It was even possible for him to be hung!

As a martial artist, Qin Fen knew how hard it was for Bai Sheng to possess such martial strength. He understood, even more, the extent of Bai Sheng’s deeds.

Crack… 

The door to the conference room opened at this time.

Zhao Huzi came out and saw Qin Fen standing blankly at the same place with the “Wu” book in his hand. His feet quickly made a turn back to the conference room and his mouth muttered constantly, “Sigh! I’m so old, my brain can’t be used anymore. How did I forget my documents in the conference room again? Fortunately no one saw it, fortunately, no one saw it! This is a big crime, I have to hide it properly! I have to hide it properly! I’m guessing that Qin Fen will very possibly be ambushed again tonight. It seems like it is only right for me to look for some people to take cover near his room.”

Documents? The conference room was so clean, what documents are there? Ambushed? Since when did Zhao Huzi become a prophet? Qin Fen’s heart was touched greatly. What seemed to be a monologue of this general was filled with care and reminders.

Qin Fen took the “Wu” fist carefully and bowed in the direction of Zhao Huzi once again. He then ran out of the promenade outside of the conference room.

Soon, Qin Fen had disappeared from promenade near the conference room.

Bai Sheng, who had disappeared in the shadows not long ago, walked out slowly from the corner of the shadow. He sighed silently and whispered to himself, “Doing this, is it right or wrong? Kid, don’t let me down!”

Bai Sheng’s body swayed a little and disappeared from his position.

Zhao Huzi leaned on the doorway of the promenade and watched Bai Sheng, who disappeared. The corner of his mouth showed a smile of admiration, “It seems that I don’t need to send people to guard the surroundings of Qin Fen’s room tonight. With this examiner from Sacred Martial Hall as a guardian, it can almost be said to be foolproof…”

A sudden phone call interrupted Zhao Huzi’s monologue. He answered the phone and heard the voice of the African Major General, “Looking for the general, we are ready for the mobile armor sparring. How about, we spar tonight?” ”

Challenge now? Isn’t this an addition to the mess? Zhao Huzi sneered. What Qin Fen needed most tonight was to read! 

“I think tomorrow night would be better. Qin Fen needs a good rest tonight to face tomorrow’s martial tournament.”

“Tomorrow night? Okay then! Tomorrow night it is.”

Vladimir hung up the phone, stood up and walked around his office. East Asia has never avoided confrontations. Unless they found out that something was wrong? No way! I have to get to the bottom of this. Zhao Huzi’s reply was completely different from their style in this tournament that was not afraid to challenge at any place and time! Something definitely came up!
