The Favored Son of Heaven

Translator: Strivon  Editor: Nora

Qin Fen’s fight just now was extremely shocking, but Glowing Child of the Wind was the real deal, a powerful two-star expert. He had seized the title of War God twice in the past. His strength was no small matter.

One Sword Shocks the Gods had seized the title of War God this month mainly due to luck. Glowing Child of the Wind had fought a first-class expert of the powerful top two-stars a day earlier, so he didn’t participate in this labyrinth competition. Many first-class two-star experts also chose to watch Glowing Child of the Wind’s fight, not participating in the War God Arena. It was because of this that One Sword Shocks the Gods was luckily able to snatch the title. It would be very hard to say whose body would be bound with azure lightning if this wasn’t the case.

Qin Fen felt almost suffocated when he saw the bets number to a eleven hundred and thirty six dollars. He would receive more than a month’s worth of living expenses if he wins!

Win! He had to win!

Glowing Child of the Wind’s eyebrows shot up as he gazed at Qin Fen with a bit of alarm. This expert named Thirty-Six Hours had an aura as tranquil as a lake a moment earlier. How did it suddenly skyrocket with the bold desire for battle? What in the world had stimulated him?

The data on Qin Fen was truly so scarce that it was pitiful. Aside from the record of a few fights, he stayed completely as a spectator. A spectator who had watched nearly ten thousand matches.

Other people might interpret such data to say that Thirty-Six Hours was a piece of trash that didn’t dare to fight. However, a different feeling stirred from Glowing Child of the Wind’s perspective. Qin Fen had observed nearly ten thousand fights. Though the man never really set foot on stage, he just needed to have the heart and he could be considered a martial artist with ample experience.

The spectator seats in the fighting arena were completely packed by now.

Glowing Child of the Wind was one of the experts of the top one-hundred powerful two-star martial artists, and he was going to fight in an arena of the free area. This news instantly swept through the entirety of the two-star level on the Sky Martial Battle Network.

He was different from Qin Fen, a nameless fodder. Glowing Child of the Wind possessed an extremely high reputation among two-star martial artists. To be able to watch a fight of his was certainly something very exciting.

The higher the rank of the martial artist, the less of them that exist in that level. The lower the rank of the martial artist, the greater the number of people in that level.

Two-star. It was considered to be a higher level of the lower classes, yet it also wasn’t on the level of true experts. It possessed an enormous base population. It wasn’t particularly hard to fill an arena with them.

There were several people inquiring into Qin Fen’s data. Who in the world was this man? To be able to attract Glowing Child of the Wind, one of the top one-hundred powerful warriors, to personally challenge him?

Three wins and zero losses? Shaolin Arhat Fist? Dragon Elephant Prajna Art?

Practically everyone was flabbergasted when they saw Qin Fen’s data. Could someone with such a profile really fight with Glowing Child of the Wind?

During the crowd’s skepticism, the announcement of the start of the battle rang throughout the combat field.

Whoosh!

The battle began, and Glowing Child of the Wind’s feet pressed ahead. His body was akin to a fierce gale, causing the sound of a biting cold wind to sweep up in the air. One leap and he dashed to be just before Qin Fen. Right foot advanced. Left foot stomped fiercely. Two fists bore toward the chest, striking toward the sternum.

This was a strike of the Furious Tiger Pierces the Forest. The distance was short and the explosive power was utterly strong. Only the sound of an explosive ring from Glowing Child of the Wind’s back shoulder bone could be heard, as his fist moved at a faster and more inconceivable speed. In the blink of an eye, the fist’s pressure already blasted upon Qin Fen’s clothes.

Qin Fen’s eyes flared with a light ten times brighter than before! Tiger Form required one to cultivate valor energy from the bones. Bones were the root of valor! Valor came from the bones. If the bones couldn’t support valor, than valor wouldn’t be formed!

The movements of the elegant Glowing Child of the Wind was truly akin to the saber-tooth tiger from the figure of light’s created cultivation scenario. The man’s brutal aura had arrived before his blow.

Qin Fen treaded half a step forward, rotating his arms in a cleaving motion. His muscular arms were akin to the edge of a large axe. His clothes ground against the air, causing a rumbling sound to ring out. It was the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Striking the Tiger’s Momentum!

Obviously he had to use Striking the Tiger’s Momentum against the Tiger Form!

Boom!

The earth trembled for a moment and both sides were pushed back half a step. A wisp of excitement streaked through Glowing Child’s eyes. With a slight bend of his right knee, his body swiveled to the right. At the same time, his right shoulder faced forward and swayed downward. Then his left arm was launched from his shoulder. A bear-like roar came from his mouth as he struck with the Five Animals Art’s Bear Slap!

Qin Fen took a half step once again. His waist swiveled, bringing his arm along, completely infused with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. His lashing arms recreated the ferocious might of ancient steel whips. It was the Flowing Whipstrike!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Bear Slaps collided explosively with Whipstrikes seven times one after another. The two men’s feet were embedded deep within the ring in this intense battle that was unparalleled in fierceness and staunchness. The audience watched stunned. Everyone was a two-star martial artist. Weren’t these two being too ferocious?

The eight strike! Qin Fen seized half a step forward, his arm expanded a bit larger to be akin to an enormous hammer that smashed against Glowing Child of the Wind’s Bear Slap. Sparks and electricity flared as their arms crossed and collided.

Boom!

Glowing Child of the Wind snorted. He was unable to act like he did during the first seven strikes, not moving at all. His feet continued to retreat back without end, pulling back several dozen steps in a single breath before he could stand firm. Every step he took left behind a deep mark in the ground. By the time his body stopped moving, he discovered that he had already stood outside of the ring.

This fight was different from the others. Glowing Child of the Wind had chosen ring mode. The two fought within an ancient stone-slab ring.

Glowing Child of the Wind looked at the earth beneath his feet. He raised his head and said very calmly, “I lost. Thank-you.”

Everyone was flabbergasted once more. He lost. Why did he express his thanks to the winner? An expert didn’t need to act this way, right?

“Thirty-Six Hours had already beaten me with the first strike. The remaining exchanges of blows were to help me understand through experience. That’s all,” Glowing Child of the Wind suddenly shouted, causing everyone to be shocked once more.

He was able to defeat Glowing Child of the Wind, a top one-hundred powerful expert at the two-star level, with a single strike? How was this possible? Even the number one two-star in the Sky Martial Battle Network couldn’t have defeated Glowing Child of the Wind in a single strike.

Qin Fen quickly transfered the thousand or so dollars into his bank account. As for why he struck more than seven times, it was because he wanted some more material to write a draft for the newspaper a little later. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to write a draft for the special column where the fight concluded with a single strike. This was the only reason he dragged it on.

“Are you in dire need of money?” Glowing Child of the Wind returned back to the ring, whispering his curiosities.

“Yes,” Qin Fen answered honestly. He wasn’t ashamed of being poor. What was truly shameful was not putting forth all effort to generate wealth when being poor. This was his consistent philosophy.

“Then why don’t you fight in the Arena?” Glowing Child of the Wind said, “You can reap several nice items if you obtain the title War God. Though these are just virtual goods, they can still sell for good prices.”

“War God?” Qin Fen only knew matters pertaining to the free area. He didn’t quite understand the membership area. He had never heard of fighting for the title of War God.

“It’s an event in the membership area. The rate of return should be very high for you.” Glowing Child of the Wind gave a general introduction, “There are generous items as rewards if you win.”

Items. Qin Fen’s eyes lit up. These virtual items were completely different in might compared to items in the real world. The existence of these virtual items were for the sake of having people in the battle network become familiar with the usage of them. Otherwise, one would find it hard to train with two thunderous swords in reality. One mistake in controlling the flying swords would run the risk of a sword piercing one’s own body. Such a way to die would cause even the devil to laugh when arriving in hell.
