The Favored Son of Heaven

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Jarl Lassen was hovering high up in the air above the sea, looking down at young men on the beach who were wearing just the swimming shorts, one after another. His slender blue eyes flickered with undisguised sadness and anger.

If it was in the past, perhaps he would have praised the quality of young martial artists of this generation as pretty good.

But today, Jarl Lassen wasn’t in the mood to appreciate others. As his slender eyes swept a glance at everyone, the young martial artists stood back up with a jump, unconsciously pushed the true energy in their bodies to the extreme.

In the world of martial artists, Divine Beast martial artists were as high and mighty as Gods!

The true energy in the entire body of young martial artists was pushed to the extreme. Nevertheless, that huge aura of power of Jarl Lassen was weighing down on their shoulders like a boulder that weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds. In just a few seconds, their legs started to feel fatigued and cramp up.

The ever-confident young men started to feel their own insignificance the moment they saw White Tiger.

Every young man present at the beach once took the Divine Beast as their target. They believed that as long as they worked hard, they could achieve the strength of the divine beast.

But only when they saw White Tiger did they truly come to understand the difference between both sides: that was the difference between a drop of water and an ocean. If White Tiger’s aura of power was released without any restraint, let alone squatting on the ground, it would not be impossible to be squashed to death on the spot by just his aura of power.

Suddenly, Jarl Lassen’s deep-blue pupils constricted as he spotted Qin Fen, the only one present on the beach who was not fazed by the killing intent in Jarl Lassen’s eyes. Slowly, his thick lips parted as his deep voice came out, as if it was coming from the wilderness, “Are you Qin Fen?”

The four words floating out of his mouth were like the four sharpest knives in the world!

Qin Fen’s heart started to beat quickly in an uncontrollable manner, pumping his blood rapidly in the blink of an eye. This was a hundred percent control over his blood and energy of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, which was running out of control by the shock from the words of Divine Beast White Tiger alone.

Qin Fen gradually closed his eyes as he adjusted his blood and bodily functions. After having regained control again, he opened his eyes and stood up and nodded lightly. “I am Qin Fen.”

Jarl Lassen’s deep-blue eyes flickered with a sliver of surprise. He repeated nodded as he kept on muttering, “Good, very good, very, very good!”

The furious voice was filled with killing intent. Young Dragon King – Yang Lie stared at White Tiger in disbelief. Is this Divine Beast title holder truly going to make a move on Qin Fen?

White Tiger had the dignity and glory of a divine beast.

They were high and aloof. Even if the constellation warriors under their command wanted to request pointers, they, too, would have to look at their moods to determine.

Qin Fen’s heel quivered momentarily as his body shot out from the crowd like an arrow fired from a bow. He opened his mouth as a long dragon roar soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was pushed to the extreme. The air around his body seemed to be resonating because of the movement of this true energy, forming a unique armor of air around him.

Qin Fen had benefited a lot after having won against Young Netherworld King. His true energy might not have broken to the eleven-star level, but he had gained more valuable insights than if he were to break through to the next star-class. He slowly started to have a direction in his martial dao of slaughter, firm and fierce martial dao, as well as the integration of martial dao of dirty fighting, sinister, and extreme softness.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fen clearly felt that naked killing intent of White Tiger wasn’t made intentionally to scare him, nor was it that the killing aura around him was too concentrated because of his martial dao of slaughter, but rather he really wanted to make a move on him!

That’s right!

White Tiger was about to make a move on Qin Fen. He wanted to kill him. He wanted to avenge his son!

A divine beast-level martial artist had the glory of an expert, but the divine beast martial artist was a human as well.

His most beloved and most promising future had been seriously injured to the extent that even the divine beast, who had all the powers in heaven, was unable to cure him. How could White Tiger not be angry?

“White Tiger, are really going to make a move on the younger generation and hurt them?” Brooks exclaimed loudly. “Are you really going to act in the way of big bullying the small?”

“Big bullying the small?” Jarl Lassen’s deep-blue eyes flickered with a cold gleam as the sea under his feet separated into two. He looked up to the sky and laughed, mournfully, “My son was seriously injured. Why do I care about big bullying the small? I, Jarl Lassen, am a father first, then a divine beast!”

Jarl Lassen rolled his eyes as he looked at Qin Fen, whose hair was fluttering because of having pushed his strength to the extreme and was releasing true energy. “Kid, you injured my son to the point that he is lying in the bed, today, I will also smack a palm on you…”

“White Tiger, you should go and look for Qilin.”

Under that fierce killing intent of Jarl Lassen, Xing Wuyi forcefully took a step forward. Immediately, a glaring red tinge appeared at the corner of his lips. The tyrannical pressure left him, who was the weakest here, with internal injuries immediately.

Xing Wuyi raised his hand and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. Then, he raised his head and said, gritting his teeth, “Without Song Wendong’s instructions, your son would not have fought with Qin Fen. Do you only dare to attack us, the younger generation?”

Jarl Lassen’s freezing cold eyes flickered with faint appreciation. To his surprise, such a weak young man could actually speak like this with a deep-rooted arrogance. If he had seen such a young man before, he would have given him pointers and even recruited him into his clan surely.

But today…

Jarl Lassen’s eyes widened as his eyes flickered with an extreme chill. He raised his fiery-red saber-like eyebrows high as he said with a very prideful look, “Qilin, I will naturally go to him. Only, Qin Fen…”

Before everyone could even respond, Jarl Lassen flipped his wrist as he opened his five fingers and raised his hand high before smacking a palm at Qin Fen. Immediately, a dazzling golden glow like a golden tiger burst through the air like thunder.

Divine Beast White Tiger smacked a palm out of nowhere in a very casual manner. But everyone’s heart started pounding madly. They couldn’t even make out the form of palm energy shot out from this palm attack, much less react to it.

The moment Qin Fen heard Jarl Lassen shouting his name, his body had already responded, preemptively. Infusing the true energy in his hands, he raised them above his head and made a gesture to close the doors; a simple move called Withdraw and Pull, as if Closing a Door. But it was the most appropriate defense at this moment.

Dodge? Impossible!

Under the palm attack of the divine beast-level White Tiger, the speed of Qin Fen’s retreat was obviously worse than the palm energy of the opposite side. Even if he dodged it somehow, he could only greet even fiercer palm strength.

With the rupturing counterattack like Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds, his body would not be able to withstand the two violent powers. This would only result in the breaking of his arms.

Redirecting the strength with softness!? Qin Fen was very clear that although he could push the softness to the so-called extreme, he still could not divert this palm.

In the face of absolute power, any soft force is unable to divert a force of a thousand pounds, ever.

“Hmph!”

Upon seeing Qin Fen’s move Withdraw and Pull, as if Closing a Door, wanting to shut his palm energy out, he immediately let out a cold snort. The instant he saw Qin Fen closing that huge door, he smashed it open immediately.

Qin Fen felt a shock in his arms first and then, he felt hundreds of thousands of knives shearing his arms at the same time before the tyrannical power broke his arms and crashed straight into his chest.

In the next moment, he felt a power piercing through his chest and flying out of his back!

A huge palm imprint appeared on the sandy beach behind Qin Fen. White Tiger’s palm attack went straight through Qin Fen’s body. Any kind of protective divine art was incomparably vulnerable before this palm attack.

In that fleeting moment, Qin Fen’s internal organs seemed to have been stirred by tens of thousands of knives. All his bones and blood vessels seemed to have been randomly cut by knives.

Pain.

Just as this thought flashed in Qin Fen’s mind, his feet that seemed to have been rooted to the ground since the start of the battle left that ground for the first time when he was hit by just one slap from the opposite party. He was simply unable to swallow the blood surging into his throat; he opened his mouth and spewed an endless mist of blood and from all of his pores at the same time.

In just a blink of an eye, Qin Fen had turned into a bloody figure. After having his entire body pierced through by that tremendous strength, he didn’t even have the time to cry in pain. As his body flew into the air and rolled in an uncontrollable manner, he fainted.

BANG!

Qin Fen crashed heavily on the beach, raising a cloud of sand covered in blood that stuck on him soon after.

“You…”

Xing Wuyi rushed to Qin Fen at once, but the other young martial artists were even faster, they were already standing before Qin Fen before Xing Wuyi. Meanwhile, the saber in Sky Splitter – Brooks’ hand let out a crisp howl as he pointed it at White Tiger in the sky.

Over the past few days, Qin Fen’s selfless exchange of martial dao, as well as that unpleasant personality of his, had deeply attracted everyone. Although he was their opponent, he was their friend and brother first!

Divine Beast, so what? When their brother was injured, they were ready to fight even if there was no chance of winning against a divine beast.

“White! Tiger!!!”

On the vast ocean, a long shout filled with monstrous anger drowned all the sounds and roars of the sea. Jarl Lassen’s crimson eyebrows twitched momentarily.

Since his appearance, apart from moving his arm for that slap, he had never made any kind of movement. That furious roar finally made him turn his head to look.

A flash of silver lightning no less inferior to that golden palm rapidly shot towards Jarl Lassen! The biting cold saber intent along with the momentum of the vast ocean arrived ten meters before White Tiger in the blink of an eye.

Sky Splitter – Brooks’ eyes went wide immediately. So this is the true Furious Beheader – Xue Tian. That Xue Tian’s attack in the recruit tournament was just Blade Wielder – Xue Tian, and not Furious Beheader.

The blade filled with Xue Tian’s fury flew with lightning-fast speed. White Tiger’s eyebrows distorted in a strange manner several times before he lightly flicked his finger in the air. Immediately, the finger wrapped in the golden true energy pressed on to the blade tip without so much as a clang, fracturing the blade into countless pieces that fell into the sea.

“What!?”

White Tiger’s slender eyes blue eyes flickered with slight surprise. Originally, this finger was intended to flick the blade back, giving the attacker the taste of his own medicine. He didn’t expect that the power contained in this blade was more than White Tiger had imagined. This generation of young men…

Jarl Lassen didn’t take so much as glance at the furious Xue Tian who was unable to fly into the air but rather he turned his head and swept a glance at the bloody and unconscious Qin Fen.

“His bones are truly hard. The strength of that one palm should be enough to injure him even more seriously than my son, but who would have thought that the sudden outbreak of this kid would actually waste so much of that strength.” Jarl Lassen sneered in his heart. “Also, although that palm had not broken his bones, the damage to all his meridians and internal organs is even more devastating. I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to recover in this life. I guess this can be considered as revenge for my son.”

As Jarl Lassen’s figure slightly flickered, his figure had already flown a couple of hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, it was already difficult to make out his figure.

“Qin Fen…”

“Old Qin…”

A series of worried cries rang repeatedly on the beach. They all wondered if Qin Fen would ever be able to see the light of day after that slap of divine beast.
