The Favored Son of Heaven

The huge lecture hall was so silent that even a pin dropping on the ground could be heard clearly.

Many people were still reeling in the bizarre scene. Meanwhile, the young martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two were considering whether they should go up to attend the lecture.

The first few rows in the front had always belonged to Inner Sacred Martial Hall. This hidden rule had been passed down in the Sacred Martial Hall for a very long time. But today, the front row wasn’t occupied by the martial artists of inner Sacred Martial Hall. No one could swallow this.

Huang Fengwan looked at Qin Fen, then, he turned his gaze to the batchmates of Building No. One twenty-two before nodding his agreement helplessly. How could he back down timidly in front of so many people?

The martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two, seeing the leader also agreeing, stood up and made their way to the first row under the watchful gazes of the crowd, one after another.

First row! It had always been the domain of Inner Sacred Martial Hall.

At this moment, the martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two were inexplicably excited. Under the watchful gazes of everyone, they could not help but straighten their spines. Even their gait and swinging of their arms were stronger than before. Their blood had started to seethe.

A dazed Sammartino, who was standing by his side, looked at his own body, puzzled. How come my limbs aren’t listening to me at all? How could I cower in front of so many people? This is truly disgraceful!

The undefeated Inner Sacred Martial Hall was actually forced to retreat by just a shout from a basic-type Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist. This was a shameful matter for the entire Inner Sacred Martial Hall.

Watching the Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two coming over, Sammartino’s anger that was momentarily smothered for no reason was reignited! Immediately, visible blue electric sparks flickered around the iron fan in his hand, making constant crackling noise like the sound of firewood after it was ignited.

Huang Fengwan looked at Sammartino with vigilance as he sped up his footsteps towards Qin Fen.

One step… two steps… three steps…

Suddenly, Sammartino’s muscles pulsated as blue sparks crackled about his body. His eyes, too, flickered with blue sparks. “Outrageous.”

Sammartino raised the iron fan as he shouted. His body, which he had regained control of, bent momentarily before the iron fan rushed out like an arrow fired from a bent bow. Immediately after, the iron fan opened completely with a clang like a peacock fanning out its feathers! It started cutting towards the back of Huang Fengwan’s head!

Using the sword technique, Peacock Spreads its Feathers, the fan opened faster and its range also became wider. Whether Huang Fengwan jumped left, right, up, or down, he would still be within the range.

Sammartino had lost all his face after having lost control of his body inexplicably. He made a move all in order to regain his lost face. At the same time the iron fan opened, the fan surface was covered in blue electric arcs.

The metallic clang of this move brought back everyone’s feelings back to the turbulent age of iron-hooved horses galloping on an ancient battlefield.

Before the martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two could warn Huang Fengwan, they discovered that Sammartino’s fan was right behind Huang Fengwan.

Mark secretly praised in his heart after having seen Sammartino’s attack. This guy is really powerful. Not only is Sammartino’s Azure Electric Drive better than ever, his attack has also reached a whole new level. The fan seems alive. Its every strip is pulsating with the fan’s momentum.

It looked like Sammartino wasn’t the one controlling the fan. Instead, it moving with him.

So fast!  Huang Fengwan screamed in his heart. He had been ready to kick the ground and retreat promptly. In the fact of the sudden onslaught of the fan from all directions, he was unable to dodge in left, right, up, or down directions. More importantly, the nine-star Azure Electric Drive crackling around him was more than what an eight-star martial artist could handle. If he so much as come in contact with any of it, he would be shocked and paralyzed, leading to fatal flaws.

Retreat was the only choice, the best choice.

Huang Fengwan’s retreat was fast but Sammartino was faster. The edge of the fan was gaining on Huang Fengwan rapidly. The distance of three meters shrunk to one meter in the blink of an eye.

It’s over! Huang Fengwan lamented as he saw the fan arrive before him in the blink of an eye. The gap between the two was simply too big.

The martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two closed their eyes immediately. They could not beat to watch their compatriot cut down by the fan.

Immediately, Qin Fen raised his hand and gasped towards them without even looking back. His fingers swelled to the size of little carrots like balloons, brushing past Huang Fengwan’s cheek.

CLANG!

The fan with the Peacock Spread Its Wings was closed shut fiercely. The body of the fan made a crisp metallic sound subsequently! Sammartino felt a burning sensation coming from the palm holding the fan. He felt as if he was holding onto a red-hot piece of iron.

DING… TANG… CLANG…

Several different types of metallic sounds rang instantly. Qin Fen had grabbed ahold of the fan without even looking back. The fan was closed shut forcibly in the blink of an eye. And immediately after, the framework of the fan was twisted as he twisted his wrist along with his fingers before he pulled the fan towards him in the end!

Ren Tiansheng gasped breaths of cold hair repeatedly. To his surprise, Qin Fen had completely scrapped the iron fan shooting electric currents with just one hand in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint. Amazing!

Sammartino’s feet suddenly slipped as Qin Fen pulled his arm. He felt as he was being dragged by a train. He simply had no strength to resist.

I have to let go! Sammartino promptly made a decision and let the iron fan in his hand loose. Just as he attempted to adjust his slipping body, he discovered that the big hand that was tightly holding the fan reached out suddenly, grabbing ahold of his wrist.

PA!

Sammartino simply didn’t have the time to mount any counterattack or dodge; his wrist had been grabbed ahold of by Qin Fen. Qin Fen’s arm trembled fiercely as he grabbed Sammartino’s wrist.

Sammartino immediately felt a power gushing into his body like a billowing wave.

Everything happened so fast that Sammartino was unable to respond. All he heard was a series of his bones dislocating, again and again before unbearable bouts of pain raided him from over a hundred different locations.

Sammartino, who was overflowing with killing intent, slumped down like a boneless snake. His figure continuously shook in the air as Qin Fen’s arm shook…

Bam… bang…

Sammartino’s figure fell heavily on the ground just as the iron fan fell on the ground, raising a cloud of dust up to everyone’s head.

“What… what did you do to me?” Sammartino wanted to get up but he found that every part of his body was screaming from pain!

Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation! An ancient oriental term quickly flashed in Sammartino’s mind. He barely raised his only active tibia and stared at Qin Fen’s back.

Ren Tiansheng took a long breath of cold air as he stared at Qin Fen with shock and surprise. Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation! It sure is the Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation, but this young man had only touched Sammartino’s wrist a bit and fiercely shook his arm yet he dislocated all of his bones with just shock, completely achieving Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation.

What a terrifying technique, what accurate calculation! He sent shock energy into the opponent’s body and hit every joint precisely, so precisely that it only dislocated the joint; did not shatter them!

Ren Tiansheng could not help but gulp several times. Talking about just defeating Sammartino, he could have defeated Sammartino faster but if he used shock energy to dislocated Sammartino’s entire skeleton, he really couldn’t do it.

Separating Muscles and Dislocating Bones…  Ren Tiansheng was confident that he could separate Sammartino’s joints with a touch but he couldn’t tear a human apart by grabbing just a part of the body.

Strong! Too strong! I want to take this kid as my disciple… no!  Ren Tiansheng shook his head again and again. Judging by his technique and aura of power, the only obvious difference between us is star-class. I can’t have a guy like him as my disciple, I need to communicate with him on equal footing… equal footing…

Ren Tiansheng looked at Qin Fen, feeling a bit unsure. Can I really discuss martial arts with this young man on an equal footing? He is so young, it should be okay, right? It can’t go as far as I, a fourteen-star martial artist asking him, a ten-star martial artist for advice, right?

Compared to the expert Ren Tiansheng, who could recognize the artistry, the layman inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist and the other onlooking martial artists in the vicinity were all stunned.

Insta-win!? No! It’s even faster than insta-win!  Everyone first glanced at the iron fan on the ground. It had lost all the semblance of an iron fan. It looked more like a scrapped bar of iron.

Then, they turned their gaze at Sammartino, the leader of the Inner Sacred Martial Hall freshman who was currently lying on the ground, groaning.

The young martial artists were unable to understand exactly what just happened. Much to their dismay, something had dislocated Sammartino’s bone, causing him to crash on the ground. This kind of fear of the unknown was even more worrying. At this moment, all the astonished eyes were focused on Qin Fen.

What just happened!? Mark asked himself. He looked at Alice beside him, only to discover that even his companion of recruit tournament was oblivious to what just happened.

A stunned Mark stared at Qin Fen. T his guy has actually become so strong!? He didn’t even bother to look at the nine-star martial artist Sammartino and destroyed his iron fan as well as dislocated all his bones with just a casual grab!? He defeated Sammartino as easily as strangling a chicken…

Mark then turned his attention on Brooks. Then he discovered that none of the opponents he had faced in the recruit tournament back then were astonished by Qin Fen’s performance.

Did they also…  Mark subconsciously took half a step back and shouted from the bottom of his heart, “Impossible!” I worked so hard! Here I thought that I would have surpassed my previous competitors after training so hard in the Inner Sacred Martial Hall.

But who would have thought that when I encountered them again, it would be me who was so thrown far behind by my competitors?

Staring at that wide back of Qin Fen in a daze, Sammartino felt it grow bigger and wider suddenly as if it was no longer the back of a human but a huge cliff, a magnificent peak!

Qin Fen raised his hand and patted at the stump by his side, “Huang Fengwan, come, sit here.”

The martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two came to the first row and sat down, one after another. The young Inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists glanced at Qin Fen with hesitation before giving up altogether resentfully.

As a martial artist who was able to enter the Sacred Martial Hall, they still had a basic insight. All of them were clearly aware of how big the gap between them was from a moment ago. If they went up, they would only be bringing shame to themselves.

“Members of Outer Sacred Martial Hall, don’t think that the Inner Sacred Martial Hall will let this matter rest here! Let’s go!”
