The Favored Son of Heaven

Quite a lot. This was the number of opponents that Qin Fen believed he could eliminate within a hundred moves. He was uncertain of only a very few apex existences, and that included Glowing Child of the Wind, who replied to the post.

Is it because he didn’t have combat experience in the past? Now that he fought personally today, he had gained a greater understanding of his own strength? Qin Fen softly shook his head, overruling this conjecture. He would truly be an idiot if he was unable to get a feel for his level of strength among these two-star warriors.

Could it be the liquid metal? Qin Fen was a bit restless. He turned off the computer before him, ultimately deciding to go to the hospital for a bit of a check up. It was best to resolve any issues early if there truly were some. People only lived once, after all.

Qin Fen had a bit of a heartache over the cost of the expensive medial examination as he withdrew some money from his bank account that had suddenly surged with over ten thousand RMB. He quickly walked into the hospital.

Blood draws. Fluoroscopy. Taking X-ray images!

A series of procedures were done, each costing a fee, and Qin Fen felt a heartache over the loss of the bills in his wallet. His body was all extremely normal regardless the examination. The metal content of his blood was normal. And the X-ray images only showed his heart, liver, lung, spleen, kidney, bones, and intestines. There weren’t any part of that dripping wet liquid metal ball that looked a bit disgusting.

Back in his room, Qin Fen laid on the bed, tossing and turning. He was unable to fall asleep no matter what he did. In the end, he simply and helplessly sat crossed-legged on his bed for he planned to continue cultivating in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. He clearly felt that he had broken through to the second stage these days, but he hadn’t had any signs of breakthrough to the third stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

Coalesce the mind! Calm the breath! Circulate the body’s internal energy….

This wouldn’t do! Qin Fen shook his head hard. His body was constantly in a state of inexplicable excitement, and his brain was in a state of indescribable excitement as well. It was fundamentally impossible for him to obtain the tranquility needed to cultivate internal energy.

Coalesce the mind! Calm the breath! Circulate the body’s….

This still wouldn’t do! Qin Fen tried going into a meditative state once more, but the inexplicable emotions of excitement destroyed it time and time again.

Sleep? Unable to sleep! Meditate? Unable to enter meditation! Could it be that he had to do shadowbox exercises until the morning? Qin Fen watched the moon outside his window as he leaned against the wall. Soon he rejected the decision to get up and shadowbox. If he were to continue shadowboxing now, he would exhaust all of his strength for work tomorrow. An appropriate amount of training was training. Over training… had far too high a cost. The impoverished Qin Fen wouldn’t go training wastefully.

He was unable to do anything. Qin Fen stared outside the window, lost in thought, as an enormous interstellar spaceship just so happened to break through the atmosphere, flying towards a different planet. Humanity already ruled the five major planets of the solar system. Becoming the existences fully deserving to be overlords of the solar system. In this era of interplanetary travel, not only hadn’t Qin Fen visited other planets. He hadn’t even left Treasure Island.

“Brother, are you still on Mars?” Qin Fen mumbled in a whisper, “It’s been five years. Why hasn’t there been word of you?”

Qin Fen took out the pocket watch in front of his chest and opened it. He gazed at the old yellow photo within, and his brows slowly furrowed together. He had been a child who didn’t know just how hard life could be before his brother disappeared, but soon he had quickly grown and matured in these short few years.

Qin Fen’s thoughts traveled to the past as he looked at the picture, and the excitement in his heart gradually calmed. He just sat there, reminiscing the little details of the past, until his bedside clock went beep beep. Only then did he realize that he had sat there for practically the entire night.

“It’s milk delivery time!” Qin Fen didn’t have time to attend to anything else. He simply got off the bed and rushed out the room.

Morning milk deliveries was one of Qin Fen’s sources of income. He was different from the other milkmen; he didn’t need a bicycle or a motorcycle as a means of transportation. He simply carried the milk and ran the entire way, delivering milk as he went from house to house.

He could make money and train his strength at the same time! He always felt that he would need to use martial arts on the path to find his brother. Intentionally or otherwise, Qin Fen had thought of a way to make money while training his body at the same time.

After he delivered milk to a hundred households, Qin Fen ate his breakfast by the side of the road in haste. His mind and body weren’t even the slightest bit tired.

There’s no use worrying about things; the hospital haven’t found any problems, after all! Qin Fen reassured himself as he dashed to school. This was one of the three best high schools in East Asia—Treasure Island’s Founding Central!

A gentle breeze drifted in as Qin Fen stood in front of the school gate, and his mind tingled once more. Obviously, there weren’t any differences between the surrounding environments of today and yesterday, but he had far clearer sensations of the world when compared to yesterday.

How amazing! Qin Fen was unable to describe just what kind of feeling it was. As a martial artist, his eyes should be watching six roads and his ears should be listening in eight directions, having a clear awareness of the surrounding environment at all times. Some people gave this ability a name—Perception.

Qin Fen always had confidence in his own perception. He believed that there weren’t many other people in his grades with stronger perception than him. But today, Qin Fen had a sort of indescribable sensation. It was as if eyes had grown up and down his entire body. The clarity and scope of his perception ability had significantly grown when compared to yesterday.

One hand quickly patted his back, and Qin Fen was a bit stunned. An expression of astonishment slipped through his face. In the past, he could only perceive the identity of a person behind him. Today, it was as if he had truly grown extra eyes. He could even tell the changes in the muscles on the person’s face behind him. He perceived it with absolute clarity through the flow of the air!

“Hey!” A hand carrying quite some force smacked Qin Fen on the shoulder. A handsome and positively glowing face appeared before Qin Fen, “What’s up? Normally you have at least a bit of a weak reaction. Today there isn’t a reaction at all. Have you heard about that thing? Is that what’s going on?”

“What thing?” Qin Fen made a curious expression, meeting the mysterious expression of this companion who was hesitating on what he wanted to say.

Lin Liqiang. The best looking dude in Founding Central. He was handsome, and he also had one of the top grades in th school, even though he would sleep through tests. But nobody knew how strong or weak he was in martial arts; there was only his claim that he had fought and won hundred times in the Sky Martial Battle Network and never lost once. None of this was what drew people’s attention the most; it was his research in biochemical beasts that was the most astonishing. With a young age of one who hadn’t gone to university yet, he had already been accepted through special enrollment by the Federal University of Science and Technology’s Department of Biochemistry. Others could him a super genius that appeared once every one hundred years, researching in the field of biochemical beasts. His catchphrase: “Splendid….”

Lin Liqiang was dissatisfied with how the outside world praised him. He often complained in front of Qin Fen that all the people under the heavens were blind, that Qin Fen and Enzo Rota were the only people with the eyes able to discover his greatest strength.

Of course, Qin Fen really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about this strength. It was hard to imagine that Lin Liqiang’s proudest strength was not his talent and ability as the top-notch biochemical beast expert of the Federation. Instead, he cared more about his strength in pursuing girls.
