The Favored Son of Heaven

Squad Leader Hao gave a helpless smile. It seemed that Qin Zhan had fought too ruthlessly back then. Just hearing the words Qin Zhan made the Gun Freak excited like a wolf looking at meat.

“His talent is decent, but it doesn’t seem like he has touched a gun before.”

“That’s okay!” The Gun Freak was full of confidence, “I will nurture out his gunner senses and firearm skills!”

Even though he had lost thirty-two times in a row and was called a boring trifle, the Gun Freak didn’t end up hating Qin Zhan. Instead, he had discovered himself to be quite lacking in his fight with Qin Zhan. He began to make endless progress with his once stagnate skills.

“All right, go!” Squad Leader Hao turned and waved as he said, “Go find other people! Aside from killers and shooters, I want to Qin Fen to learn tracking, anti-tracking, ambushing, anti-ambushing, concealment, anti-concealment, striking, and anti-striking from a small team of tactical experts.”

“That’s right! We must also find the best teachers in mobile armors and fighters!” The Butcher was in high spirits as well.

Squad Leader Hao scratched his head, “Qin Fen is an infantryman.”

“Who cares if he’s an infantryman!?” The Butcher smirked, “Qin Zhan, that fellow, was an infantryman as well, and the number one expert in aerial combat back then was beaten to an inch of his life by him.”

“An all-rounder super soldier?” Squad Leader Hao laughed, “Okay! That kid has talent in aerial combat as well. Let’s find an expert to help him avoid going on the wrong path and we shall forge him into an all-rounder super soldier!”

Three monsters of recruit boot camp rapidly ran toward the residence of the fourth monster of recruit boot camp.

After finishing his second fight, Qin Fen logged out from the battle network. He opened his eyes and saw that the entirety of the living quarters had drowned into the drawn-out breathing of sleep. He quietly put on his military uniform and got out of bed.

Squad Leader Hao wasn’t here? Qin Fen was a bit startled. Where in the world did this squad leader, a man with a big smile but evil intentions, go in the dead of the night? It looked like very likely that someone was going to be screwed.

Qin Fen guess of Squad Leader Hao’s intentions hit the mark, but he guessed incorrectly the person Squad Leader Hao had in mind. It was none other than Qin Fen himself.

Qin Fen quietly felt his way out of the living quarters before letting out a long breath of relief. Only in the dead of the night couldhe go to temper himself by the ocean without being disturbed.

Recruit boot camp was a journey of seven kilometers from the ocean. He didn’t need to do a forced march, nor did he need to carry Jin Kui this time. Qin Fen felt that it was tolerable.

Qin Fen arrived at the shift station of the gate, and under the bizarre gaze of the guard, he quickly wrote his name and left camp.

The guard watched Qin Fen disappear into the night. He shook his head in confusion as he carried his rifle, “Is this guy really a recruit? The morning’s training volume was quite a lot, yet he still has the energy to leave camp at night?”

Qin Fen’s legs burst with power, and all he felt was the generation of wind by his ears. Ever since he swallowed that bizarre metal, his desire to fight grew stronger and stronger, and his thirst for becoming stronger had grown as well. It seemed that the only way he could reach his happiest state was to exhaust all the energy in his body down to the very last bit.

Sand was a material that really didn’t store much heat. In the day, one could easily feel the heat of the sand through the military boots. Right now the sand had turned completely cold.

A seven kilometer dash was quite the decent warmup exercise. Qin Fen took off his military boots, faced the deep dark ocean, and gently got into the stances of the Shaolin Arhat Fist.

The Shaolin Arhat Fist was a set of fist forms that Qin Fen performed everday without fail. Even if he couldn’t be more familiar with this set of fist forms, Qin Fen never broke this habit.

Punch a thousand times, and the martial art envelopes the body.

Qin Fen forgot where he had seen this sentence on the forums, but he felt that these words made a lot of sense. He always persevered in them.

Under the moon, Qin Fen was barefoot on the sandy shore. He either kicked, rose, or fell, but the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art always surged without end within his body, complementing the Shaolin Arhat Fist between this heaven and earth. The fights Qin Fen had undergone these past few days flashed quickly in his mind, and there was a sort of indescribable comprehension that slowly rose in his heart.

After finishing a set of fist forms, Qin Fen let out a long breath. The comprehension during execution was something that could only be experienced and understood during nonstop movement. It was a pure comprehension, a pure experience. Once performing the set of fist forms was finished, the comprehension would subsequently disappear.

This was an experience that could be undergone not sought. It wasn’t a comprehension that could be attained just by meditating. Qin Fen knew that he couldn’t force it.

The gust of the ocean breeze came, and Qin Fen knew that it was time to go into the ocean. After he looked all around him and made sure that there weren’t any other people, he quickly took off his military uniform and walked into the ocean.

Qin Fen didn’t dare go deep into the ocean. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art wasn’t like the Turtle Breathing Art where the user didn’t need to breath at all. He made his way deep enough such that the water level reached his chest, and he stopped walking.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, as guided by the figure of light, didn’t require the user to sit cross-legged and raise their head toward the sky in cultivation. The user could lie down as well or even stand. Normally, Qin Fen was used to sitting cross-legged. He didn’t want to look out of place in front of everyone, so he always chose to sit cross-legged.

Right now there was nobody else in any direction. Qin Fen didn’t need to hide anything. He just stood there, slowly closing his eyes, as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art circulated energy outward from his dantian region.

In the past, circulating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was akin to pushing a five-thousand kilogram rock forward. Now it was akin to pushing a two-thousand and five-hundred kilogram rock forward. Even though it was still very hard, it was much easier than before.

Qin Fen was quite happy in his heart. The cultivation that used to take him two hours to perform one cycle looked like it would only take one hour of time in the present. He just didn’t know why cultivating in the water made it easier. What was the reason for this?

Though he had his suspicions Qin Fen didn’t have the time to research this. He immediately submersed his body and mind into cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, the true energy within his body akin to a rain dragon entering the waters. After circulating and executing the art for some time, the speed of circulation and execution became even faster.

In a mere forty minutes, an entire cycle of circulation and execution reached the final juncture. In the past, his true energy would easily return back to his dantian region, but now it was as if the rain dragon had escaped confinement. It wasn’t willing to return to the dantian region no matter what.

In the past, driving true energy energy was something as difficult as pushing a five-thousand kilogram rock. Right now the difficulty was at the fifty-thousand kilogram level! Then a sudden change somewhat caught Qin Fen unprepared. Quite a bit of the advancing true energy was reversing directions in his meridians.

Reverse meridian circulation! Qin Fen felt an unprecedented pain in his body. The stimulation was intense, and Qin Fen steeled his mind as he slowly pushed his true energy back to his dantian region.

Push forward, whiplash, push forward, whiplash! The true energy wouldn’t budge at all in front of his dantian region as it engaged in a tug-of-war with Qin Fen.

“AHHHH!”

Qin Fen’s roar surpressed the sound of the ocean waves. A bit of the true energy that wouldn’t move at all in his body was finally forced into his dantian region, upon which the rest of the true energy instantly entered his dantian region in a line.
