The Favored Son of Heaven

There was nothing special about the design of that stone arch. The material was also nothing special. The only thing that evoked special feelings were the objects hanging on the stone arch.

There were three fist-sized “bells” that looked like a bell that could be found in temples. It was just that they were a little smaller and the material used was unique.

The far-right bell was made of stone. A red rope was tied to the end of the bell and it hung quietly at the arch.

The bell in the middle was a bell made of ordinary paper. A gentle breath could sway the paper bell.

Qin Fen couldn’t even be sure if the clock on the left was a clock or not. There was no red rope tied to it, and a gentle white smoke drifted out constantly. One could tell that it also had the shape of a bell under careful observation. When they were blown, the smoke would separate.

The voice of Gao Yuan was not heard again. Qin Fen looked at the sign next to the arch. It introduced the requirements to participate in such assessment on the sign.

The requirement here was very simple: ring one of the three bells. At the same time, the sound made by the bells rung must be the same as the sound of a metal bell.

The rewards were completely different for every bell.

Those who ring the stone bell could get a Reborn Pill from Sacred Martial Hall.

Those who ring the paper bell could get an Auspicious Pill and a biochemical beast egg from the Sacred Martial Hall.

For those who rang that fog bell, their rewards depended on the contracts they signed. Those who signed the internal contract with Sacred Martial Hall could read the secret art in Secret Art Pavilion, along with plenty of other prizes. Those who signed the retain rights and interests type of external contract with Sacred Martial Hall can only enter the Secret Art Pavilion for three days. The martial arts can be observed arbitrarily and there are generous gifts. Those who signed the basic type of external contract with Sacred Martial Hall can enter the Secret Art Pavilion for half-day. The martial arts can be observed arbitrarily and there are generous gifts as well.

It was noted that if the Outer Sacred Martial Hall basic martial artists could ring the fog bell, after entering the Secret Art Pavilion for half-day, they had the right to request the modification of the contract and become a member of the Outer Sacred Martial Hall.

“Fog bell?” Yang Lie shook his head gently and shook his head, “It is just a lump of fog. It only has the shape of a bell but has no bell body, how can we ring it?”

Brooks reached out and touched that fog bell. The moment his fingers touched the white mist, the mist broke.

“Haha…”

Caesar laughed. The rewards of ringing the fog bell were really eye-catching. However, the creator of these three stages never believed that a new person could pass.

By listening to the name “Secret Art Pavilion” the crowd already knew that there were a lot of superior martial arts contained within it.

They were secret arts by the Sacred Land of Martial Arts, Sacred Martial Hall. Any of them would be priceless outside.

That white-shirted youth looked up at the stone bell in front of him. His sharp eyebrows were raised slightly. To make the metal sound by knocking this little rock bell… thanks to the people who designed the stage to come up with this idea!

Brooks turned the cap on his head to the right. Then, he raised his hand and patted the shoulders of that white-shirted youth, “Please let me pass.”

“You…”

That white-shirted youth looked at Brooks, surprised. He really wanted to knock the stone bell? This stage was obviously a test of the strength of the martial artists’ true energy control. Only when the oscillation of true energy reached a fairly high realm, used at the perfect moment with that frequency of true energy to knock, will be able able to produce the metal sound.

“Sky Splitter.” Yang Lie leaned against the wall, with his hands clasped in front of the chest, “Are you confident? If not, let me go first, before you break the bell. I might have no chance to knock.”

“What are you talking about?” Brooks looked back at Yang Lie. He lifted his left hand very casually and pressed his index finger on the middle finger and flicked forward easily…

Ding…

The stone bell swayed a few times in the air. A pleasing sound of the metal collided echoing around the stone arch.

It really rang? That white-shirted youth looked at Brooks, stunned. To make the stone bell make the sound of the metal… the control of true energy was not a low requirement.

“What?”

Gao Yuan slammed the control console with his hand. He was surprised to see Brooks, who stayed at the “Wu” stage for a long time, ring the stone bell. It was not too rare for martial artists to ring the stone bell, but the way he rang it…

While chatting with others and not fully concentrated, he rang the bell with a simple flick.

Brooks stepped aside and made a gesture of please very elegantly and gently.

Yang Lie copied Brooks. He also lifted his hand gently and knocked the stone bell with the back of his hand.

Ding…

“Another one…”

Gao Yuan sat back in the seat powerlessly and looked up at the ceiling, “These young men who created the records ‘Wu’ are indeed qualified to ring the stone bell.”

Bai Sheng showed a slightly bitter smile, “When I did it, I broke the stone bell.”

“Didn’t I as well?” Gao Yuan turned his head and replied with a bitter smile.

Ding… ding… ding…

That white-shirted youth stared at the young martial artists who had stepped forward in awe. They all knocked very casually and the stone bell rang with the sound of metal.

“Could it be…?” The white-shirted youth looked at the stone bell not far from the top of his head in doubt. Is the surface of the stone bell made of stone, but is only an iron bell with a stone skin? Otherwise, how can everyone go up and ring it casually?

“It’s my turn.”

Caesar moved. His movement was not as chic and comfortable as others, but it had a great momentum that the others never had! That white-shirted young martial artist the ground underneath his feet shake. At the split moment of this movement, the slates that were spliced on the ground all jumped and collided with each other and made a crisp collision sound.

The anger of the emperor was like an earthquake!

What is this kid going to do? Gao Yuan sat up straight and stared at Caesar’s anger. Why are the young people who participated in the Sacred Martial Three Exam were mentally abnormal? It is only about knocking on a stone bell. Did it have to be earthshaking?

The thought flashed through in Gao Yuan’s mind. Caesar rushed to the front of the stone bell instantly. His arms were opened completely. The spine on his back was undulating constantly as he punched out his right fist.

Dong… dong… dong…

The punch with extremely fierce momentum hit that small stone bell. However, it did not smash that fist-sized stone bell. Instead, it made an ancient sound, like the sound when a big bell in the temple was hit.

“Awesome…”

Gao Yuan looked at everything on the screen, stunned. With the power of that punch, never mind a small stone bell, even a stone wall could not stop that fierce power.

However, the violent power that should have murdered everything was not able to smash that little stone bell. It had caused a series of impact sounds of bells that similar to those bells in the ancient temples. The control of power was almost at the peak of such an age.

“It’s my turn.”

Xue Tian appeared in front of the stone bell instantly. He held the katana’s handguard with his fingers, performed the simplest sword drawing technique with his right hand and cut the stone bell.

Ding…

“This…is this the young man who stayed in the “Wu” stage for less than a minute?”

Gao Yuan pinched his thigh forcibly. After Caesar punched on the stone bell, the bell sound had not stopped and it had its special frequency in the oscillation.

At this time, if another martial artist was to hit that stone bell, even if he had the strength to ring the stone bell. It was more than ninety-nine percent certain that he would crush the stone bell.

The difficulty of making the sound of metal again through following the frequency punched out by previous martial artists was undoubtedly beyond doubled or tripled up. After all, at the moment of entry, it was difficult to calculate the frequency of the other party had reached which point.

Even if you know that, it would be much harder to mix and match with the other party again.

“Impressive!” Bai Sheng sucked the cold air. Both eyes twitched at the same time. Xue Tian did not just simply knock after Caesar. When he knocked, he was still using Caesar’s frequency, and at the same time, he managed to change the frequency and brought it into his own frequency.

Otherwise, the sound should have been “dong dong”, but he changed it back to “ding ding”.

This change alone was a few times more difficult than just following the frequency to knock.

However, this was not the whole strength of Xue Tian! Gao Yuan stared at the katana that returned into the scabbard. This person did not use his body nor fist to touch the stone bell from beginning to end but completed all this through his katana.

It was much harder to make a sound on the stone bell through a medium. Furthermore, it was after Caesar made the sound and changed it.

After all, the fist was part of the human body, and the blade was a foreign object.

In the situation of ringing a foreign object with another foreign object…

Gao Yuan really didn’t know how to evaluate Xue Tian, as well as the others who had rung the bell. These young martial artists were playing around casually on this stone bell – a very difficult test used.

The stone bell stopped swinging and stopped making sounds.

The white-shirted youth looked at Qin Fen who had never hit the stone bell and looked back at the stone bell in front of him.

I can’t be the last one to ring it! The white-shirted boy’s eyes were soaring and snapped the stone bell with fingers like a lightning.

Qin Fen smirked faintly and closed his eyes.

Pa…

As expected, the metal impact sound did not appear. The moment the stone bell collided with his finger, the thin stone wall was crushed.

This.. . the white-shirted youth was stunned at the broken stone bell.

Gao Yuan was also dumbfounded. The stone bell was broken? Hey! This kid was too anxious. Even when he goes all out, he can’t ring that stone bell. How could he ring it in such an anxious way? It seemed like he had to change another stone bell. This broken stone bell was impossible…

Dong… dong…

A melodious and ancient bell sounds passed into the monitoring room through the speakers right at this moment. Under the reverberation of the four walls, the echo did not disappear for a long time.

“This is…” Gao Yuan sighed. He did not notice his actions. He sat in the chair and stared at Qin Fen, who was standing in front of the broken stone clock.

Just now. It was just now.

Gao Yuan saw it in his eyes when Qin Fen casually walked to the front of that broken stone bell. He raised his hand more casually than Brooks had with the bell and hit that broken stone bell with his index finger.

In the end, the stone bell was broken and it became much harder to ring the metallic sound. Qin Fen simply knocked on it, and he was able to make the sound that could only be sounded by Caesar’s full strength.

“How is this possible?”

Gao Yuan felt like he was looking at a monster. He stared at Qin Fen on the monitor. This was the man who exited the “Wu” stage after he went crazy for less than a minute?

The simple knock on the broken stone bell just now had rendered the sound of the temple bell. Its difficulty was not inferior to changing the bell sound with a katana.

“These two with the shortest time…” Gao Yuan felt that his neck was filled with lead juice. He turned his head slowly and looked at Bai Sheng, “Actually…”

Bai Sheng was shocked but joyful. Qin Fen really didn’t disappoint him! There was a demeanor between his every movement. He had improved a lot compared to that day when he was in the Recruit Tournament!

If the strength of Caesar and others was soaring like riding the rocket, then the strength of Qin Fen was raising like riding the propulsion of the laser beam.

Xue Tian held his katana and looked at the paper clock with his back leaned against the wall, “Old Qin, not bad. Are you interested in challenging the paper bell?”

“Of course.” Qin Fen squinted arrogantly. He looked at the introduction next to the stone arch. If he didn’t see that the Reborn Pill was the reward for ringing the stone bell, he would have skipped the first bell and hit the paper bell.

“Strive to knock with the kind of voice just now.” Xue Tian’s expression was quite a bit easier said than done, “Make the sound of hitting iron. I guess I can almost do it.”

Qin Fen smiled, “Then you also have to ring it. I don’t mind having one more Auspicious Pill and biochemical beast egg.”

Xue Tian lifted his thumb, “Okay! For Old Qin, here goes nothing, it’s not a big deal if the sound knocked isn’t nice.”

Qin Fen smiled and turned to look at the leftmost white fog bell.

“What does he want to do?” Gao Yuan screamed in the room, “Why his eyes are full of eagerness to try when he looks at the fog bell?”

Bai Sheng only felt a cold current go through his skin. Goosebumps were scattered all over his body. Is Qin Fen really going to hit that fog bell? How could this be possible? Speculating that he was hitting the paper bell previously was all about luck. Was he overconfident? Just being more arrogant?

“Paper bell?”

Qin Fen exercised his shoulder joints. The peak state of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth was when the pinched blood reached the peak state. Then, there would be a chance to ring this paper bell. He as a martial artist who had to change his marrow for nearly three months, so it was not really hard to ring it.

“Eh?”

Gao Yuan was stunned at Qin Fen again. What did this young martial artist want to do? If he really wanted to strike that paper bell, what he should do now was to touch the bell body of the paper bell with his hand, and send the true energy that was vibrating into the body of paper bell little by little, and finally form a special loop of true energy.

Turning the paper bell into an external part of the martial artist, then he’ll hit the paper clock!

“What is he going to do?” Gao Yuan was very puzzled. This young martial artist didn’t put his hand on the paper bell. He just looked at the paper bell quietly. Why was he still not…?

Dong…dong…dong…

Gao Yuan suspected that he had an auditory hallucination. Qin Fen raised his hand and slapped the paper clock. As a result, the paper clock actually gave out the ancient voice of the temple.

“Tr… True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth…” Gao Yuan looked at Qin Fen, dumbfounded, “And he is still a ten-star martial artist…”

Bai Sheng also swallowed repeatedly. The minimum condition to ring that paper bell was to reach the realm of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

To the martial artists in Sacred Martial Hall, the strength of the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth was not overly amazing. However, he did it at such a young age, and he was at the pinnacle of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth! This was another concept!

“He has a promising future!”

Gao Yuan was staring at Qin Fen on the screen. This young man has the same strength as that monster in the Sacred Martial Hall! No! It should be said that the strength of this young man entering the Sacred Martial Hall was the same as that monster entered the Sacred Martial Hall in the past.

Bai Sheng nodded repeatedly. He had reached a realm that was similar to that monster when he entered the Sacred Martial Hall. The future of Qin Fen was promising!

“Unfortunately…” Bai Sheng nodded and shook his head, “This kid signed the basic external contract with Sacred Martial Hall…”

“What?”

Gao Yuan felt dizzy. The impact he felt in this small monitoring room today was far more intense than a battle with a martial dao master.

“Such talent and he only signed the basic type?” Gao Fen stared at Qin Fen with a sneer, “Would it be that this kid feels that he is so talented that he wants Sacred Martial Hall to set a precedent for him? If he really thinks so, I am afraid he will regret it.”

Gao Yuan sat up straight and a proud arrogance came from his body. This was the pride of being a member of Sacred Martial Hall! “Sacred Martial Hall is never lacking in geniuses! Being a genius does not mean that he can reach the divine beast level!”

Bai Sheng also agreed deeply in his heart and nodded repeatedly. The Sacred Martial Hall never had a special precedent for modifying any rules because of the talent of any martial artists.

Even for Shang Guan Chuan Qi, Young Netherworld King, who had gained the most momentum in the young generation. The Sacred Martial Hall had kept them out forever because Sacred Martial Hall did not want to specialize them.

Qin Fen walked to the front of the fog bell and looked up at the fog bell.

“This stuff…”

Yang Lie was very curious, looking at Qin Fen and that fog bell formed by using high-tech. This thing was far more different than the previous paper bell and stone bell.

The latter two at least had a physical state. As long as it was solid, it would strike out sound naturally under impact.

However, this thing in front of them… Caesar was also not that optimistic and shook his head repeatedly. This item was completely absent of physicality. The moment the palm touched it, it would completely dissipate. It would take another method to ring it.

External release of true energy! Caesar recalled that day how a palm from White Tiger through the air had nearly beaten Qin Fen cripple.

“Right! External release of true energy is the only way. Solidify the fog bell temporarily using true energy, and then collide it with your true energy. Only this way can one make the sound.” Brooks looked solemn, “It is just that the method can only be achieved by the high rank of the external release of real energy. Ordinary external release of true energy can’t do. We are not even sure if Qin Fen can do an external release of true energy. Right now, we need him to do things from the high rank…”

Solomon didn’t say anything. He just shook his head gently and repeatedly. This was much more difficult than the previous one. Qin Fen might be stuck at this challenge.
