The Favored Son of Heaven

Lu Bu disappeared. The millions of troops and eighteen princes in Hulao Pass also disappeared. The Hulao Pass battle which was praised incessantly and passed down through the ages was gone.

The spiritual space once again became the original dark and boundless spiritual space. The light figure suspended in the sky, those red eyes still shining.

Qin Fen did not pay much attention to the light figure. His thoughts were still on Lu Bu in Hulao Pass. The moment where Lu Bu turned around and left was stuck in his mind, the loneliness when he was disappointed, and Liu Bei’s gaze as he laughed pridefully. The two different emotions filled Qin Fen’s body.

At that moment, Qin Fen could feel that Lu Bu was more lonely than usual.

“Isn’t that lonely?”

In the dark void, the light figure had already disappeared. It was replaced by a man, a man that Qin Fen had never seen before. His appearance was handsome in an inexpressible way, but his face gave off a look of arrogance as if everything in the world was unworthy to be put in his eye.

Hearty short hair, high nose, broad shoulders, thin waist, starry eyes; his face was similar to an exquisite art. The black warrior suit fit nicely on his handsome body. An aura of never bowing down to anything exuded from every pore of his body. Only those starry eyes and his voice revealed a loneliness that could not be expressed.

That kind of loneliness immediately made Qin Fen think of Lu Bu’s silhouette, the lonely silhouette that left the fray.

It was rumored that this quirky spiritual space had a total of eight super martial artists, seven of whom were known as black hole-level martial artists, and one of them was the heaven-breaker level martial artist who was never seen before, Zong Juelu!

Qin Fen had already seen the other seven martial dao super grandmasters many times. He had long been familiar with the appearance of everyone. He had yet to meet the person before him.

Naturally, it could only be the one who he had heard of but yet to see. The god-defying martial dao, heaven-breaker-level martial artist Zong Juelu!

“Are you lonely?”

Zong Juelu looked at Qin Fen and spoke again, his voice sounded calm and soft, but it could not cover the loneliness.

Qin Fen nodded gently and shook his head. He could feel the loneliness of Lu Bu and feel the loneliness of Zong Juelu, but he himself was never lonely.

Zong Juelu smiled. He sat in the void beside Qin Fen and looked at the deep dark void and said, “In this world, lonely people are not necessarily invincible people. Invincibility is a kind of loneliness, but are there not other types of loneliness? The one you humans called God, he is not necessarily invincible, but he is still lonely.”

Qin Fen shook his head again, with some bitterness in his smile, “Maybe my loneliness can only come from invincibility, but I am not invincible as of now. As for other loneliness…?”

Qin Fen shook his head very firmly, “In other cases, I am not lonely. Because…”

Qin Fen’s face became a little more confident with a hint of pride that rarely appeared on his face, “I have friends.”

“Friends…” Zong Juelu muttered to himself a few times. It was as if he tried to taste and understand the word. He looked at Qin Fen, “Can you make me no longer lonely?”

Qin Fen laughed. This kind of question was not a problem for a martial artist who concentrated on martial dao. Who wouldn’t want to stand at the peak of martial dao? Who wouldn’t want to know what awaits at the end of martial dao?

“Great.” Zong Juelu smiled satisfactorily, “For every martial artist, if one does not have an invincible heart, then how will he achieve invincibility? Those divine beast martial artists, don’t they all have an invincible heart? Do you think that only strength alone will make you a divine beast? Perhaps, maybe strength alone is enough. But without an invincible heart, how can you achieve the greatest heights?”

“An invincible heart…”

Qin Fen contemplated seriously. The unwavering heart back then when he was in the recruit tournament, wasn’t that an invincible heart? However, as his horizon grew wider and wider, he saw more powerful martial artists, and the heart of pursuing martial dao became stronger, but the invincible heart had unconsciously disappeared.

“An invincible heart does not mean that it is lonely.” Zong Juelu stood proudly, “The masters also have invincible hearts, but they will not be lonely because I exist! You are different, you walk the path of the divine dao. You need to have an invincible heart, you must be lonely. This may be contradictory to you, but it is a fact.”

“Invincible heart… loneliness…” Qin Fen looked down at his hands. This was the fist that once claimed to be a heaven-breaker. These two legs had also said to Caesar and the others that he would wait for their challenge at the peak. He now walked much further in front of them, but he had lost that aura back in the day.

“Invincibility… loneliness…”

Qin Fen clenched his fists, and his thoughts returned to the eve of the Hulao Pass Battle. He remembered the loneliness of Lu Bu. He did not want to learn his loneliness. He wanted to understand the feeling of invincible loneliness.

Zong Juelu looked at Qin Fen’s expression and nodded. In order to attain ground aura shield, a twenty-four hour continuous battle with the masters was not enough. But Qin Fen had managed to start finding his own direction. How much meditation would help him? And how long would he meditate this time?

Forty-eight hours! From time to time, Lin Ling looked at Qin Fen who was in deep sleep. Ever since the spacecraft took off, it had now flown for forty-eight hours. Qin Fen had slept for forty-eight hours, without any signs of waking up.

“Wu Zun! I am fighting with you!”

A very uncomfortable scream rushed out of the mouth of Xue Tian, and Xue Tian, who was just sleeping, once again woke up. The people around him cast a helpless look at him. The young man had already slept three times on board. However, every time he woke up, he woke up with this big shout. No one really knew what kind of hate he had with Wu Zun. Every time he dreamed, he would dream about fighting him.

“Unlucky fellow!” Xue Tian scratched his head and grabbed the juice next to him. He sipped a few mouthfuls and said, “I used to dream of beauties, but after being tortured for half a year by Wu Zun and Sacred Martial Six Stars, I could not even dream of my charming Gandharva anymore.”

Yang Lie turned to the back row and looked at Xue Tian, who shook his head again and again. He was no better than Xue Tian, the image of Arctic ice and snow appeared whenever he closed his eyes. Would this be considered the body’s instinct to practice in a self-simulated environment?

Caesar turned to look at the sleeping Qin Fen and looked at Lin Ling and asked, “Is old Qin still sleeping?”

Lin Ling nodded lightly, “His blood pressure, heartbeat, and vitals are normal. He is only in deep sleep.”

Brooks looked at Qin Fen and curled his mouth, “Is sleeping also a special training? Or else how could Old Qin sleep for so long?”

“We will reach Saturn in another five days, how boring.” Xue Tian looked at the timetable and called for service again.

Beep beep… beep beep…

In the flight attendant duty room, the young female waitress on duty looked at the seat number that lit up and her face seemed baffled. In the past two days, almost all female flight attendants had come to know one thing: there was a young and handsome passenger on the spacecraft.

The gossip level was far more intense than the entertainment reporters in the entertainment industry. If he were to be an entertainment reporter, the other entertainment reporters would probably be driven out of business.

“Beauty, you are so beautiful.”

“Where are you from?”

“London? Is that so? What a coincidence! I am also from London, we are from the same hometown!”

The female flight attendant felt a line form on her forehead. Didn’t this person say that he was from Zibo City last time? The other time he seemed to say that he was from Shanghai? And another time he said that he was from Vermillion Bird City on Mars?

“Do you have a boyfriend? No? What do you think about me? I’m not only handsome, but my martial dao strength should not be underestimated! If I am your boyfriend, I can definitely make you feel safe.”

“Sir, what do you need?”

“I need you to be my girlfriend.”

“Sir, you are joking. What do you need?”

“I need you to be my girlfriend.”

“…Sir, what do you need?”

“Well, I need a glass of juice.”

“Please wait…”Read more chapter on vi pnovel

“Hey you guys, don’t worry about Old Qin.” Xue Tian laid on the back of Qin Fen’s seat, “Most probably that when the spacecraft lands, he will wake up.”

Everyone glanced at Xue Tian and Qin Fen. Once again, they returned to their seats or closed their eyes to rest or meditated in martial dao.

“It’s too boring.” Xue Tian stretched and left the seat, “I’m going to the billiard room for a while, do any of you want to come along?”

Caesar shook his head, Solomon shook his head, Yang Lie and the others also shook their heads. Xue Tian looked at everyone’s reaction and did the same and sighed, “Hey! If you guys don’t play against me, who will be my opponent in the billiard room? It is always me against one whole group of people, and every time the game ends in a single shot. I am so lonely! Invincibility really is a kind of loneliness.”

Yang Lie turned to look at Xue Tian’s disappearing figure and shook his head again. You are obviously going to swindle money, why bother to pretend like this? I heard that last time, Xue Tian set up twelve tables in the billiard room and played with twelve travelers who played snooker. As a result, he took all the balls from the twelve tables in one shot and left the travelers in a daze. As a grandmaster class martial artist, the control over force is more precise than a machine, yet you are using it to play snooker to swindle money? This kind of thing, I guess only Xue Tian would do.

Solomon got up and walked in the direction of Xue Tian. Caesar looked at the departing Solomon and got up and followed. Brooks, Mourad, and Du Peng got up and left. Yang Lie looked at Chen Feiyu and Lin Ling, then sped up as he entered the billiard room on the second floor.

Xue Tian looked at the crowd with the cue in hand, “How would you guys like to play? It is not difficult for me to get a one-shot clear.”

Yang Lie picked up a cue and skillfully made a billiard ball action, “Three tables per person, since we are all going to execute one-shot clears, then let’s see who has a faster time and a higher score.”

Pa…

Solomon had already started. The white ball scrambled all the red balls and one of the red balls went directly into the pocket. The cue ball was drawn at an arc and landed in front of the black ball with a crisp sound of billiard balls collision followed by.

For a period of time, the billiard hall was completely occupied by the fast figure of several young people, and the sounds of impact sounded like a few hundred billiard balls colliding.

Xue Tian smiled and hit the balls constantly. Everyone was a master of martial dao. The control and calculation of power was not a problem for them. However, the strength of everyone was different after all. In fact, there was still a gap in the accuracy of the ball stopping, but this small gap could only be overcome by calculation from supercomputers.

A small billiard ball, but it brought all of a person’s concentration together. Was this not another type of battle? Since it was impossible to spar in a spaceship, then let this be another way to spar among each other.

Although the effect was incomparable to actual sparring, it was still helpful to some extent.

Lin Ling turned to look at Chen Feiyu and asked without emotion in her words, “Are you not going?”

Chen Feiyu looked at Qin Fen and smiled and shook his head, “I am not going. Qin Fen has not woken up yet, I will not go anywhere.”

Lin Ling paid another closer look at Chen Feiyu. Chen Feiyu looked up from Qin Fen and said, “I told Qin Fen that my life is his. Without him, I would not even have the qualifications to take my revenge. Now, because of his help, I broke that weird barrier and gained hope for revenge. One should always be grateful, so Qin Fen is my only benefactor now.”

Lin Ling did not have much to say, she set her eyes on Qin Fen’s body and found her fingers twitching a little.

The time of space travel was long and boring, and it even gave people a feeling of a day being like a year. The spaceship flew for six days in this period of boredom.

For four days, Qin Fen occupied himself with sleep and meditation, recalling his own bits and pieces, recalling Lu Bu’s emotions as he wiped the Heaven Scorcher Halberd.

Zong Juelu saw Qin Fen’s inattentive eyes had gradually begun to regain spirit. In the blink of an eye, his mind had completely recovered.

“Are you enlightened?”

Three faint words. Qin Fen listened slowly and nodded.

Zong Juelu’s lips were faintly satisfied, “Are you really enlightened?”

“I’m enlightened.” Qin Fen got up and slightly expanded his chest, “In fact, every industry has the possibility of invincibility. It is not limited to martial dao, but the previous light figure only showed me the loneliness of Lu Bu. That is because this loneliness is the most difficult and the most tyrannical. The invincibility of any other industry, compared with the invincibility of another industry, is impossible to compare in real terms, as a difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart. But only Lu Bu’s invincibility can be compared with them. Or rather, Lu Bu’s invincibility can destroy the invincibility of others. He can’t surpass others in their field, but he can destroy them.”

Zong Juelu was even more satisfied, “Yes, the invincible heart of the master and the others, is having absolute invincibility in their own field. For example, the invincible heart of the master lies in research, and I am unable to surpass him in this field. In the field of ferocity I am not as good as Lord Turbulence, they can all realize their invincibility. My invincibility cannot beat their invincibility in their field, but I can destroy them.”

“So…” Zong Juelu looked at Qin Fen, “What do you feel?”

“What do I feel?” Qin Fen slammed his fist into the endless void, and the mighty punches revealed an invincible aura of power! The self-proclaimed fist that could break the heavens back then, and the Qin Fen who issued ‘I am standing at the top of the mountain waiting for you to challenge’, was back!

Ground Aura Shield! Eighteen star-class!

“Kid, have you attained ground aura shield?”

In the void, Lord Turbulence walked out of it. Without saying a single word, he launched his fiercest, overwhelming eighteen star-class ground aura shield. Qin Fen did not back down and directly countered with the Investiture of the Gods.

Bang! The aura shield splattered, and the void seemed to have begun to distort. Qin Fen’s Investiture of the Gods smashed again. But Lord Turbulence’s punches didn’t come through like last time, and collapsed like Investiture of the Gods.

It was a tie! Lord Turbulence raised his thumb, “Kid, not bad. From this moment on, you are also considered a master.”

Qin Fen smiled. Lord Turbulence’s punch was not at full strength, but being able to defend against it, he really had the qualification to be proud.

“Kid, let us have one round!”

Lord Turbulence disappeared and Zeng Yicheng jumped out. Qin Fen’s arms were superimposed on each other and did not use Divine Boxing, but instead, were open to embrace Zeng Yicheng.

“F*ck! Entanglement? Motherf*cker! Can you get any more vile?” Zeng Yicheng did not dodge, he put up a horse stance and decided to go against Qin Fen head-on. The grand aura shield was directly smashed against Qin Fen, twenty star-class! Celestial Aura Shield!

Qin Fen rolled his eyes and was directly concussed by this grand force, and three sentences were clearly heard at the moment before he fainted.

“F*ck! Trying to play dirty with me? Do you know who the Vile King is now?”

“Zeng Yicheng, you stunned Qin Fen, who am I going to fight with? I will kill you!”

“Military Kill Ripper, are you crazy? I will escape, I am not fighting with you!”

Qin Fen’s sound asleep body trembled abruptly. His eyes slowly opened and realized that Lin Ling was looking at him. Those emotionless eyes had faintly revealed the slightest hint of emotion: concern and doubt that would have been easily ignored if not carefully observed!

It was so faint that Qin Fen even suspected that Lin Ling herself did not realize it.

“You slept for six days.”

The care in Lin Ling’s eyes disappeared, leaving only a little bit of it and a trace of doubt, but her tone was still so emotionless.

Qin Fen went into thought, “I was practicing.”

The doubts in Lin Ling’s eyes disappeared.

“Have you been looking at me all this while?” Qin Fen suddenly asked, and Lin Ling nodded.

“Is that so?” Qin Fen nodded lightly, “Sorry.”

Lin Ling skipped her pleasantry and her words were still without emotion, “You are the leader of the team. Whether you admit it or not, it is a fact. You should consider all aspects before you do anything. This time, your performance was a failure. If you were ambushed while practicing, it would have forced us to disperse our strength and spirit.”

Qin Fen nodded again and again. Although Lin Ling’s words were somewhat unfavorable and unreasonable, everything she said was indeed facts. There was no rebuttal at all, and there was no excuse to elaborate. Even if this retreat was involuntary, the fact was that he slept for six days. There was no escaping that.

As a man, you must take responsibility. If you found an excuse for every time you encountered something, then you are not a man at all! A man with an invincible heart couldn’t care less to find an excuse, right is right, wrong is wrong, and you bear your own mistakes!

“Right, Xue Tian, what about them?” Qin Fen found that Caesar and others were not in their seat, and was puzzled.

“The second floor, billiard room.” Lin Ling seemed to be reporting, and the words continued to have no emotions.

“Oh, I’m going to find them.” Qin Fen got up and took a step. Then, he went back to Lin Ling and whispered in her ear, “Also, thank you. Having you beside me felt really good.”

Qin Fen walked away and went up to the second floor. Lin Ling slowly loosened her clenched fists. Those palms that would not sweat even when hunting down martial arts masters were filled with sweat at that moment. The body which always had a steady heartbeat and normal blood flow, for the very first time, encountered an “abnormal condition”.

“It’s really good to have you by my side.” Lin Ling’s perfect eyes blinked and a trace of very shallow happiness came through from the pupil. It was no longer an imitation, but a real smile. Unfortunately, Qin Fen did not see it.
