The Favored Son of Heaven

The line, ‘Here they come’, had drawn everyone’s attention to the cosmo battleships that came from all directions in the sky.

The huge fleet was like a flock of black clouds blocking the sun. It felt as if the sky was also acknowledging the great aura of the Great Ensemble; the sky seemed to be falling down.

Many people in different colored suits jumped down to the ground at great speed, and looking like countless falling meteors. They didn’t care about the high altitude of thousands of meters at all.

Boom…boom…boom…boom…

The sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground echoed in this open space. It sounded like many ancient war drums had traveled through time and space, arriving at this battlefield.

The atmosphere of the battlefield that used to be still and quiet had a dramatic change after the falling of those martial artists like some cooking dumplings. The atmosphere condensed into a majestic aura that hovered over the earth.

Not everyone was here to take part in the Great Ensemble themselves. It would be the chance of a lifetime for fifteen-star martial dao masters to be able to watch such a grand event from a close-up place.

All of the strongest martial artists today had gathered here in this ring. The fifteen-star martial dao masters were worried that if they didn’t cause a scene upon their arrival, they might not be confident enough to face the candidates’ aura of power who would be fighting for the divine beast title later.

It was hard for ordinary people to man up and gather themselves together to face a martial dao master. Usually, a martial dao master could cause someone to have a mental breakdown just by glancing at them.

In the face of Heaven Emperor, Ground Treasury, and other senior top masters’ auras of power, the ordinary martial dao masters were prone to be distracted by the strong aura as they had a sharp sense of martial art.

The martial dao masters who landed did not immediately talk to each other but stood quietly in the same spots. They were observing the surrounding environment and adapting to the atmosphere here.

Qin Fen glanced at the martial dao masters who landed at the edge of the open space. He was secretly admiring them. They are also a group of martial dao top pros. Each of them must have gone through some extraordinary glorious moments in their lives.

“Hey?” Qin Fen’s eyes were fixated faraway on a martial artist who seemed to come from the State of Japan. He’s Hatoyama Kazuo, the Neo Aikido practitioner!

“He’s actually here too?”

Qin Fen was a little surprised. He had scared Hatoyama Kazuo off during their battle on Hallasan that day. He didn’t expect him to appear in such a situation. It seemed that the Battle of Hallasan had greatly inspired him. He had made some improvements in his martial dao.

Hatoyama Kazuo could feel that Qin Fen was looking at him. He felt a sudden sharp pain through his skin, like it was cut by a knife. However, he couldn’t escape from his attention. He was secretly shocked by the power of Qin Fen. This young martial artist who barely had an upper hand and won over me during the Battle of Hallasan back then has now turned into a great existence who stands at the real peak of martial dao!

“Kyokushin Kouten was killed by this man…” Hatoyama Kazuo shook his head gently, “His life was not wasted. This young man is too fast in making his progression. I could sense that he was very strong back when he fought the Terrorist King as I watched it through the internet broadcast. Now I’ve finally met him in person, I realized that I was wrong. He’s stronger than I thought, way more powerful.”

“Young brother Qin Fen!”

On the quiet battlefield, Hashimoto Nagashiro, who was the Neo Sumo wrestler, moved his huge body that had gained a lot of weight after the few days they hadn’t met each other. He stood in front of Qin Fen, reached out his thick hand and patted his shoulder casually. He said in a joyful tone, “I knew I’d meet you here! Haha, I want to thank you personally! I went to Saturn with you on that day, got your advice, and went back to the State of Japan to continue with my seclusion. I’ve now become the number one martial pro in the State of Japan!”

Neo Aikido’s Hatoyama Kazuo stood in the distance and frowned. He didn’t make any disapproving comment on that. He sparred with the Neo Sumo’s Hashimoto Nagashiro not long ago, and it felt like he had grown into a new person. Hashimoto was unstoppable with the fat on his body and had defeated Hatoyama completely within just three moves.

“What?”

“Really?”

“Is he really that strong?”

“He not only has great martial dao himself, he can actually provide guidance to other martial dao masters?”

The open space was filled with surprising exclamations. Martial dao masters from all around the Federation exchanged looks with each other. A martial artist is considered to be blessed if he is strong. As for guiding another martial dao master who already has a fixed martial dao and had even created his own sect? This is simply out of this world…

At that instant, Qin Fen gained an even more prestigious spot in these martial dao masters’ hearts! He got even closer to Heaven Emperor, Ground Treasury, and the others who were not far away from him.

In a dimly lit room in the Sacred Martial Hall, Mark stared at the television blankly. He simply grabbed the half-emptied bottle of strong vodka and downed it. He and I used to be each other’s rivals among the younger generation. Who knew we’d have such a huge gap in between our strengths now?

“Congratulations.” Qin Fen smiled at the Neo Sumo’s Hashimoto Nagashiro, “Uncle Hashimoto, are you here to take part in the Great Ensemble too?”

“I’m not here for the Great Ensemble. I’m here to take a look.” The Neo Sumo’s Hashimoto Nagashiro pointed at Qin Fen’s team carefreely, “I stand no chance of winning if you guys are participating. I’m only here to watch you play, I want to watch how great my young brother’s power is from up close.”

Qin Fen smiled and cupped his hands in obeisance. It feels great to meet an old friend on such an occasion.

Another huge battleship appeared in the sky. Martial dao masters on the ground who were whispering with each other put on a solemn respectful look. They looked up at the cosmo battleship in the sky that had a huge “Martial” character printed on it.

The Sacred Martial Hall’s exclusive cosmo battleship! Most of the martial dao masters present here had trained in the Sacred Martial Hall before. They regarded the Sacred Martial Hall as their second home. As compared to the admiration they had towards the divine beast martial artists, their feelings towards the Sacred Martial Hall were respectful and fond ones. They wouldn’t have become who they are today if it was not for the Sacred Martial Hall.

“Sakra? Ferrero?”

The martial dao masters were stunned. How come the Sacred Martial Hall heads of department are here at the Great Ensemble? Are they also taking part in the competition?

Many martial dao masters bowed in a hurry as the two heads of departments landed. Qin Fen got up and marched towards them. He showed the most polite gesture of courtesy that a disciple would show towards his masters to the two heads of departments.

“The two of them are masters to Qin Fen?”

“God… this kid is so blessed…”

“It’s hard to say, I think these two heads of departments are very blessed.”

Several martial dao masters took a glance at Qin Fen, then at the two heads of departments. They quickly agreed with the latter’s comment. A master who can have a disciple like Qin Fen is indeed very blessed.

Suddenly, a hostile murderous aura came pouring down from the sky, flooding away the warm atmosphere where the masters were meeting their disciples in an instant. Many martial dao masters had their guards up instantly. They had goosebumps on their skin and cold sweat dripping down from their faces. They stared at the person who fell from the sky alertly. It was the Young Hades! He had long blonde hair and was very handsome, but his two eyes were bloodshot.

Young Hades, who did not use the insect warrior’s power, still looked as handsome as ever. He looked mysteriously charming with the cold aura. He exuded cold and hostile murderous aura towards Qin Fen and stared fiercely at him with his crimson red eyes.

Another hot stream of air poured down from the sky. Many martial dao masters looked up subconsciously. It was Shang Guan Chuan Qi who came down from the sky!

Four of the most talented young martial artists had finally come together in the same ring after so many years!

Qin Fen, Xue Tian, ​​Hades, and Shang Guan Chuan Qi! Each of them claimed to be the strongest among the younger generation. Who will be the true number one among the younger generation in the end? Who among them will actually qualify to challenge the experts of the older generation such as the Heaven Emperor and Ground Treasury, who sit on the highest positions of martial arts?

A murderous aura rose behind Qin Fen suddenly! Du Peng looked up at the sky with a sullen look with his eyes sharper than a fine sword. He stared at the Snake King Du Hen who glided slowly down from the sky!

The representative of the military! He had made his entrance today!

Du Hen’s hands were behind him, completely ignoring Du Peng’s fierce gaze. He walked leisurely around and found a spot to stand still. It seemed that everything in the world no longer had anything to do with him.

Tagatha bowed his head and whispered a few words to Heaven Emperor. He spread his legs and walked up to Du Hen. He stared at him in confusion, “Why do you insist on coming?”

“I am a soldier.” Du Hen raised his head gently with an inexplicable calmness, “How could there be no soldiers taking part in the Great Ensemble? Today…”

Clank! Du Hen turned his wrist and held out a red steel spear in his hand. The lionhead engraved on the spear shone a cold spark.

“You’re being stubborn!” Tagatha frowned in dissatisfaction.

Du Hen revealed a rare smile and didn’t say much. A hint of indescribable satisfaction and pride were shown through his lips.

“Qin Fen!”

Someone let out a furious roar that was filled with murderous aura from the sky. It felt as if the whole cosmo battleship was shaken by it. The descending martial artist was in his fifties, he was burly and gave people a bold and carefree feeling. His bloodshot eyes shone a hostile light which told others that he was not a good guy.

A newbie? Many martial dao masters were surprised. The people present may not have had contact with each other, but they knew of each other’s existence. There were not many of them who could reach the realm of martial dao master and above, especially for those who wanted to join the team of martial dao masters. None of them hadn’t killed their way up the martial dao ladder with their fists and legs; they had stepped on their seniors’ bodies in order to reach such a height today.

It was safe to say that no martial dao masters were nobodies! There shouldn’t be any newbies here! However, no one knew the person who had just turned up.

Qin Fen raised his eyebrows and looked at the guy, he asked with a flat tone, “You’re the Terrorist King’s disciple?”

“That’s me!” Sun Jiulong straightened his spine and raised his chin up. The martial dao of horror that he inherited from the Terrorist King, plus his bloodshot red eyes boosted his aura intensely, overtaking the Terrorist King’s on that day. “You ruined our sacred war of freedom, so I’ll destroy yours today!”

The power of terrorists is coming too! There was a sudden low-pitched murmur across the battlefield. No one would have guessed that the Great Ensemble today could have attracted such an evil guy! Although he was not as well-known as any of the martial dao masters present, they immediately knew that he was a rare talent as soon as his debut!

He dared to make such an arrogant speech in front of the invincible Qin Fen. This action was enough to showcase his strength and confidence.

The murderous storm had boiled up once again at this moment! Young Hades stood there and stared coldly at Sun Jiulong, who was also an insect warrior like himself. He said in a creepy tone, “Get lost! Qin Fen is mine!”

“You?” Sun Jiulong burst out with a series of hysterical laugh at the sky, “A pitiful cat who was beaten up by Qin Fen twice? You little brat, I’m the strongest insect warrior, not you. You’re lucky enough to get back up as it all thanks to the old mudfish Golden Dragon Kang behind you, isn’t that true?”

“You have no right to make any sort of comments on Venus’s constellation warriors, as you’re just a pathetic terrorist who’s chased all around the Federation by the Dragon Hall. A mudfish? Golden Dragon in his prime could have easily killed a hundred people like you.”

Three battleships, with three martial artists in their clothes embroidered with different animal heads descended from the sky. The golden embroideries and the fonts revealed an intense murderous aura; the three of them were the three constellation warriors of Venus, the planet of massacre.

Golden Goat Gui! He had a slender body and the goatee beard on his chin. His eyes were shining with dazzling murderous intent, covering Sun Jiulong with his murderous aura.

Golden Dog Lou! Golden Ox Niu! Venus’ four major constellation warriors were all here! Although the four of them were exuding some obvious hostility towards each other, the other three constellation warriors had directed more of their murderous aura towards Sun Jiulong.

Although the four of them had long turned their backs on each other because they were fighting for the divine beast title on Venus, the camaraderie among them couldn’t be cut off that easily. Particularly, the four constellation warriors had long had their glory joined together as one, a glory of one was glory for all, while a shame of one was a shame for all as well! Hearing how Golden Dragon Kang was shamed in such a way, the other three constellation warriors had immediately listed the name of Sun Jiulong on their list to kill.

The martial dao masters who were here to watch the battles suddenly found out that the situation in this field was far more complicated than they had thought. The Great Ensemble had yet to commence and these qualified candidates had already been built up with some complicated hateful relationships with each other.

The young martial artists wanted to fight for the title of the strongest among the younger generation; Hades held a grudge towards Qin Fen, while Qin Fen held a grudge towards Sun Jiulong… Du Hen, who was the grandfather to Du Peng, seemed to want to have a battle of life and death with his grandson. Hades seemed wanting to kill the other three constellation warriors of Venus as well…

Chaos! Chaos! Chaos! This was indeed the most chaotic Great Ensemble compared to past events!

A huge pressure came from the sky. This pressure split from the initial one into two different overwhelming pressures. Then, it split further into three… four… five of it!

Five pressures? There should only be four divine beasts left on Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Earth! Why are there five pressures with almost the same level of power descending from the sky?

Qin Fen looked up to the sky with slight confusion. Wu Zun’s pressure is not within these five pressures. Why are there five people? Who’s the fifth person?
