The Favored Son of Heaven

Another roar of excitement. It wasn’t as loud as before but the sense of shock was far greater.

Lu Dongbin did not pay attention to most of the members of Inferno. Rather, he only looked at the three real powerful experts of Inferno. However, the shock on their faces could not be hidden.

How strong is Elysium? Ordinary people might not really know, but as Elysium’s opponent, any Inferno King was very clear on how strong Elysium was. They had piles of secret divine arts. Today, the population of the entire Federation was in the tens of billions, but the number of martial dao masters above fifteen-star level never crossed three hundred. It could be said the chances of one becoming a martial dao master had not even reached one in one hundred million.

Elysium had eight immortals: Guanyin, Tathagata, Monkey King, Yang Jian, Nezha, and other members that totaled up to twenty, occupying one-tenth of all of martial dao experts’ strength. This in and of itself was enough to explain how powerful they were.

Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli were the best among the eight immortals. Any martial artists who could survive up to the level of martial dao master and above were the best!

And five such experts joined hands to attack a young martial artist!? And yet, they couldn’t make him move from his position!? King of Mt. Tai became incredibly vigilant and placed his focus entirely on Qin Fen.

Today, everyone who could stand here was here to compete for the new energy and new metals.

King of Mt. Tai suddenly understood why Lu Dongbin said Elysium had suffered a big loss. All the reasons were for one thing: to join hands!

There was no need to speak too thoroughly with smart people. In the current situation, the fact that Qin Fen could go against five alone and still kill two of the eight immortals was evidently a problem.

King of Mt. Tai was confident he would not lose against any member of Elysium present here. He even had the confidence to win in a one-on-two situation, but if it was one-on-five!? Apart from running away, he didn’t have any other choice. He wouldn’t have been able to fight, let alone standing still in place and killing two experts, this kind of brilliant victory.

The sixth Inferno King, King Biancheng withdrew his previous disdain for Qin Fen. Not a single martial artist who could survive until today was stupid. Perhaps the pride and arrogance of being a powerful expert in the world might have taken root in their heart. They might not believe that the younger generation martial artists were strong enough to challenge the older generation martial artists but when they really came to know that someone did have this kind of strength — moreover, had already surpassed them — they would never shout something as stupid like ‘impossible!’ in their hearts when being challenged.

The Inferno Kings and God of Night glanced at each other before spreading out quietly, forming a siege; they were cooperating with their life and death enemy for the first time.

Lu Dongbin glanced at He Xiangu. Lan Caihe’s recovered body was letting out beastly roars that didn’t resemble anywhere near a human’s voice. The hot battle intent ignited the entire battlefield again.

Five sober experts had long come to an agreement using their eye signals. This time, Qin Fen would be killed first, and only then would everyone compete to see who would get the new energy and the new metal. As for that stubborn Jungle Ranger pilot!?

The five experts never put Du Peng in their eyes. Although his strength as a martial dao master was pretty good, and they may have even tried to solicit him if it was peacetime…

But today!? Qin Fen would be killed and he would too, while they were at it.

Standing in the Jungle Ranger, Du Peng looked at Qin Fen’s back, that broad and strong back. Even if his body wasn’t that of a leviathan, his aura of power was that of a leviathan surely! Looking from behind, it seemed that the entire sky was covered by that strong and broad back of his.

“Is this the Qin Fen from back then?” Du Peng recalled the time when the recruits joined the army. He was almost as strong as Qin Fen. But in these short few years!? He, too, had been progressing, and rapidly progressing at that! A martial dao master at the age of twenty! Which was an amazing feat in contrast with the growth rate of Sacred Martial Hall’s Martial Madman!

This speed was amazing in other people’s eyes. But when compared to Qin Fen!? Du Peng didn’t know what to say. If it was just his strength, he would have accepted it! But he had inherited his brother’s strength, forming complete martial art. And yet, he was still far behind…

Ten thick metal fingers of Jungle Ranger were clenched tightly together, creating a crisp cracking noise.

“I don’t want to be thrown behind… I have the blood and power of Du Zhanpeng… I am not willing to be thrown behind like this… he must be looking at me from heavens, right? Maybe he is laughing at my incompetence?”

“Kid, are you angry?” The Jungle ranger radiated a faint sorrow feeling under the sunlight. “You still not have gotten rid of the shackles in your heart after so long?”

“Brother Zhanpeng, is the message wrong? It’s been so long…”

“Wait a minute, the target we’re hunting this time cannot be underestimated…” The Jungle Ranger raised its cold face again. “Perhaps the moment of victory and defeat will appear this time! Qin Fen’s strength might have reached such a level, but against six of them together, the pressure is far greater than before. The winner this time…”

“Brother Zhanpeng, are you stronger or is Qin Fen stronger?”

“Of course Brother Zhanpeng is stronger! Don’t forget, Big Bro Zhan once said that he had crossed the Sacred Lucky Wheel of the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder that only rumored to exist. How fast Brother Zhanpeng’s strength soared, haven’t you lots seen it? More importantly, don’t forget who Brother Zhanpeng has been training with all these years…”

“That’s, Big Bro Zhan, that’s Jupiter’s…”

The Jungle Ranger didn’t look back as the cold words from its iron face interrupted everyone’s conversation. “Qin Fen is better than me a bit.”

“What!?”

“Really!?”

The Jungle Ranger squad sunk into silence again as everyone felt the impending battle on the battlefield. No one wanted to miss seeing the younger and stronger Qin Fen according to Brother Zhan Peng.

“Qin Fen is actually so strong?” It was only at this moment, when the seventh Inferno King, King Taishan, was truly facing Qin Fen, did he deeply experience that vaguely powerful energy field. If he wasn’t really facing the hostility emanating from Qin Fen, he would not have been able to know that someone from today’s young martial artists had reached this step already.Read more chapter on NovelFull

King Taishan knew clearly that in a fight between strong martial artists, the fight was all about seizing the initiative and momentum of the battle. Once the one side could suppress his opponent’s momentum, he could very easily gain the initiative of the battle naturally. Therefore, quite often, when a battle was triggered, everyone would try to expand their aura of power desperately. Sometimes, the collision between the pressure could almost suffocate the onlooking lower star-class martial artists to death on the spot.

But from the beginning to the end, he never saw Qin Fen’s aura of power expand. Qin Fen just stood there indifferently with his arms hanging in a natural manner. No one was able to sense even the slightest bit of star-class strength from him. That kind of calmness was a kind of power in itself! Everyone’s release of their aura of power before him seemed like a bluff.

Qin Fen turned his neck as he looked about at the unprecedented alliance. The cooperation between Inferno and Elysium was extremely tight, giving the impression that they had cooperated like this a thousand times already. Qin Fen nodded gently. Sure enough, the person who knows you best is your enemy.

Owing to the fact that Elysium and Inferno had been fighting with each other, their understanding of each other was beyond ordinary people’s imagination. They might be cooperating for the first time but in the eyes of super-level martial artists, the harmony between their aura of power and their positioning was the best.

“Many people say that Shangguan Chuanqi is the top expert in the younger generation.” Qin Fen raised his right arm slowly and looked at his stretched palm. His calm and indifferent tone gave the impression that he was talking to himself, like he was having a heart-to-heart talk with a friend he had not seen for a long time. The only thing it didn’t look like was a life and death fight. “This sentence may have been correct before. But from today, I will tell a certain divine beast that old views can be changed. The strongest expert of the young generation, the martial artists really standing at the peak of the young generation, is Qin Fen.”

Qin Fen, withdrawing his gaze from his right palm, glanced about at the rarely seen older generation powerhouses with a calm and confident look on his face. “Those of you who will survive can be my proof that I, Qin Fen, is really the strongest martial artist in the younger generation. Therefore, all of you, come at me together.”

Strongest martial artists in the younger generation!? Those of you who will survive!? Lu Dongbin’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably again and again. His muscles started bulging rapidly, bulging, bulging, and bulging even more!

Chichi… chichi… chichi…

Martial artists could sense life and death instinctively. Lu Dongbin’s muscles swelled, again and again, ripping his martial suit apart completely. As his muscles and tendons bulged and stretched while the gap in between his bones increased, he turned into a giant, a one-point-eight meter tall giant. His current body was actually taller than King Biancheng and his forearm thicker than King Biancheng!

King Taishan looked at Lu Dongbin in surprise. When he first laid his eyes on Lu Dongbin, who is known as the strongest martial artist in the firm and fierce style of martial arts in the world, Lu Dongbin gave him a sense of elegance. He was unable to see the firm and fierce style in him, not to mention why he was known as the strongest in the world.

But now… King Taishan understood finally why Lu Dongbin was known as the strongest expert of the firm and fierce style of martial arts! Just the bulging of his muscles had boosted Lu Dongbin’s strength continuously. In just one breath, his strength had jumped to the level of eighteen stars. Furthermore, he was in the Human Aura Realm.

Paleo martial arts, Strength of Mount Sumeru!

King Taishan was incomparably shocked by Lu Dongbin’s transformation. This man is actually practicing a neo martial art and a paleo martial art!? Mag Drive Flying Sword and the Strength of Mount Sumeru!? How did he do it?

Many people in the world could practice two kinds of paleo martial arts as long as one wasn’t afraid of suddenly becoming impotent, or changing from a male to a female, or side effects such as a total body paralysis; one could even practice four to five together.

Some people had practiced neo martial art such as Steel War Body and then practice paleo boxing technique, making a combo by switching between new and ancient martial arts. But to really practice neo martial arts and paleo martial arts internal arts together!? That was almost unheard of!

However, it was not that no scientist had such an idea but it was just that it had extremely strict requirements in terms of physical qualifications. After a calculation was done by a supercomputer, the probability was only one in three hundred billion!
