The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 348: Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Ten stars! Weird Breakthrough! Weird Ten Stars!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The atmosphere of the nine-star peak battle long anticipated by the crowd had suddenly changed. It had turned into a battle of several elite martial artists who wanted to advance to the next stage.

The outcome of the battle was still important! But if one party was defeated but succeeded in breaking through, who would then be the winner? The millions of viewers didn’t know how to answer their own inner questions.

After witnessing Qin Fen’s punch that smashed Chaotic Antarctic, the most powerful nine-star martial artists in the Sky Battle Network, all of them agreed to scatter around and surround Qin Fen.

Shanhe Sheji had just increased the realm slightly and took the initiative to fight Qin Fen face-to-face as the main offense warrior. In this face-off, he immediately felt that Qin Fen, who stood in the middle of the arena, had an aura of power like the sea that pressed over them slowly.

“Outstanding. You can be powerful to this extent as a nine star.” Shanhe Sheji’s body shook slightly, and the true energy in his body rushed even more violently under the pressure of this aura of power. He opened his mouth instinctively to release a roar.

The loud roar came off too suddenly, making the audience that was waiting for the battle to begin, quiver. It was like a lion’s roar beside everyone’s ears, like a lion had run past them.

Lion’s Roar!

Shanhe Sheji was also shocked. Since the first day he started training the Descending Dragon Falling Elephant Arts, he had heard people say that when this set of paleo martial arts was trained to minor mastery, the martial artist could roar like a lion.

Shanhe Sheji knew that minor mastery referred to the ten-star class. Now, his strength had not yet entered ten-star, but due to pressure from the aura of power of Thirty-Six Hours, he roared like a lion instinctively!

Shanhe Sheji was baffled. He didn’t know if he should be happy because he roared minor mastery’s lion roar or if he should feel depressed.

Normally, if he was a nine-star that could suddenly roar a minor mastery’s lion roar, he would be celebrating grandly in excitement. In other words, he was only one paper window away from achieving ten stars.

But now, Shanhe Sheji was unable to feel happy. He roared the lion’s roar instinctively not because of his qualifications to break through, but because of another person, Thirty-Six Hours! The other side’s powerful aura made a breakthrough in him that should not have appeared.

Qin Fen looked at Shanhe Sheji in front of him with surprise. The young man actually made two small consecutive breakthroughs in a short period of time. Looking at his information, as well as today’s breakthrough, it could be said that the ordinary ten-star class martial artists wouldn’t have much of an advantage on him.

“After the duelists are ready, please choose to start the battle.” The electronically tuned female announcer voice was softly introduced into the ears of both parties.

Qin Fen started the battle and quickly scanned the data of Shanhe Sheji and the others. Descending Dragon Falling Elephant Arts! The secret paleo martial arts’ internal art! It was a paleo martial arts internal art that you couldn’t buy even with money! Strong Guardian Deity Palm and his self-made fist technique Shanhe Sheji Fist… it seemed that this young man had potential.

One Yang Vital Energy Art! Qin Fen’s eyes lit up again. This Xiong Kuo Hai’s paleo martial arts internal art was not as rare as Shanhe Sheji’s, but it was also very expensive. It was rumored that the price of the first level of technique costs more than ten thousand yuan. The higher the level of technique, the higher the price.

Wild Waves, Violet Clouds Divine Art! Qin Fen’s lips twitched . Of course! Those who could enter the nine-star strength would definitely practice internal art that was not of the most basic grade. This Violet Clouds Divine Art was much more expensive than the One Yang Vital Energy Art.

Jade Girl Heart Sutra? Qin Fen finally smiled. He knew that he shouldn’t look at the internal cultivation technique of Feng Chen Tian Xia. The merits of this cultivation method were too clear. After he saw her internal art, she did not have any threats when sparring.

The official registration of Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was three-star strength and it was currently an unregistered cultivation method.

Shanhe Sheji looked at Qin Fen’s information and was shocked, unregistered cultivation method? He also wants this to be kept as a secret? Or did he create some other cultivation method?

“Ready, the battle begins! After you have made your choice, you will immediately enter the duel and the countdown will begin.”

A virtual beauty floated in the sky. Her countdown timer interrupted the speculations of Shanhe Sheji and the others. In a single moment, everyone’s hair stood up. The battle intent released from Qin Fen’s body was extremely shocking!

“Ten…nine…eight…seven…”

“Fight!”

By the time the voice sounded, Qin Fen had transformed into an ancient giant. His two large fists raised like the size of a jar. A simple wave of his hand caused a loud shriek, just like the strong winter wind from the north blowing violently.

Time has changed. Qin Fen was unlike his past. He did not take the initiative immediately at the beginning of the battle. What he needed was a breakthrough and he needed the pressure! If he made a move first, he would give no openings to his opponents, and he would defeat all his opponents swiftly.

The battle begins!

Wild Wave, who stood behind Qin Fen, made the first move with his Violet Cloud Divine Art that had reached nine-star strength. It made his entire face full of a purplish aura, as if he had applied a layer of purple water mist.

The strength of any nine-star martial artists wouldn’t be weak! In particular, the few people standing in the ring were the elite among the nine-star martial artists.

The Wild Wave’s body shrunk and he launched himself! He was like a meat bomb; his two arms in the air swayed like a wicker in the air, his palms were soft like cotton, but the inner part had a faint slamming sound of the explosion of beans!

Transform Bone and Soft Palm! Wild Wave was not registered in the Sky Battle Network. He had never use any martial arts! Today, upon facing Qin Fen, he could no longer hide. His attack was soft on the outside and hard on the inside. It was a fist technique that prioritized explosiveness as the main force!

Wild Waves moved and the others seemed to move at the same time as well! A few great nine-star apex-level martial artists’ fists mixed with the sound of wind and thunder all rushed to the front of Qin Fen.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fen’s brain was like a high-speed computer. His eyes did not need to look, he only relied on his body’s awareness to feel the situation of the several masters.

With Shang Xuanyue’s dragon-twister palm, Dragon Swinging Tail, he turned over his palm to make an inclined cut, aiming straight to the Qin Fen throat while his hidden hand’s Dragon Hidden Claw aimed straight for Qin Fen’s navel!

In the human body, the most difficult place to train, the Achilles tendon, was the navel! The navel was the place where people initially transport nutrients, and it was also the majority of a person’s weight. It was located above the dantian region!

Thunderstorm Warrior made a violent sound and his mouth swallowed the virtual Berserker Pill and Armor Pill. His body muscles were like iron. It was the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians’ full realm. His elbows moved up and down to draw a circle, like a huge drill. The air around the elbow had torn open a hole and it targeted the weakest position of Qin Fen, which was two inches below his ribs!

Shaolin Eighteen Hits Guardian Deity Elbow! Compared to the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians that was trained in Shenyang that day, today’s opponents were even better!

Xiong Kuohai lifted his legs and swept sideways. His violent leg stirred the wind, producing a sound that was akin to a woman’s screaming voice. He kicked the back joints of Qin Fen’s leg with the Neo Taekwondo’s Jitae!

Feng Chen Tian Xia flicked both her hands, her ten fingers plucked the air, as if she was a pianist who was playing the climax of a song. This was the expensive Big Dipper Acupuncture Technique. She covered the thirty-six acupuncture points on Qin Fen’s body instantly. This seemingly gentle press could even pierce stone with her true energy!

Shanhe Sheji, who was the most powerful nine-star martial artists among the six, had moved his body. A majestic aura emerged which forcefully tore at Qin Fen’s aura like an ocean tide. His eyes glared out like the guardian deity in a temple. His body swayed to the front of Qin Fen and his fists aimed straight for Qin Fen’s chest. His attacks were seemingly chaotic, but it faintly revealed the weight of his powerful aura, as if his one punch was a whole country! One kick was like a river!

Shanhe Sheji! Shanhe Sheji!

The fists of Shanhe Sheji were exactly the strength he grasped through watching the heroic spirit of the emperors in history. His power of the mountain and river that he learned while he was in the river for thirty-two days!

His fist was a country and his kick was the mountain and river. How many people could shoulder the country? And how many more people could shoulder mountain and river!?

The heavy fist intent of Shanhe Sheji added a lot more strength to his attacks. Together with the power from the burst of his true energy, each hit had a tyrannical impact of three to five thousand kilograms!

The pressure formed by the six people completely shrouded every position of Qin Fen’s body.

Such a joint attack was even greater than the power of the Wang Ying Panchen! In the face of such an attack, Qin Fen was deeply in prison. Both his arms were like two awakened oriental giant dragons. A powerful pressure emitted from it steadily. He moved the two dragons with his body’s martial senses.

Martial Emperor Dragon Fists. Yin and Yang Limitless Double Dragon!

Qin Fen created this battle tactic specifically for group battles. His martial arts training for group battles had yet to achieve the level where he could instantly transform every part of his body to reach a balance between the force of firm and soft. No nine-star martial artists could reach such a point.

Yin and Yang Double Dragon meant the left and right hand! A special way that Qin Fen had created to release the firm and soft forces at the same time!

Although the power of the conflicting forces between the soft and firm fists was considerably weaker, the strength of this move still remained boundless!

Qin Fen’s arms swayed like a hundred dragon’s flurry. The air around him was torn into pieces by the dragon’s arms. The sound gave people the feeling of dragons’ roars and tigers’ howls from fantasy blockbusters in the theatre!

At this moment, lower star-class audiences felt that their eyes had seen an illusion. Qin Fen’s body seemed to have hundreds of dragons surrounding him. It was like the ancient saying of the true dragon son!

Qin Fen’s arms had turned into a dragon. Chaotic Antarctic, who had just returned to the channel, was shocked as he gasped. This hundred dragons ascension fist power was so strong that even ten star-class martial artists could not even use it!

The crowd didn’t have the time to be surprised. Qin Fen’s column-like arms slammed into the six martial artists’ attacks, followed by the air bursting from the clashing of the punches and the fierce battle sound of the fists and feet. It sounded like a dozen small grenade cannons were fired at the same time.

The simulated platform under the foot of Qin Fen that was undeniably real had been ruined by this fierce battle. Dozens of cracks and holes that were more than two feet deep were formed.

This was a real effect reflected by the computer’s calculations.

Everyone was a top master of the Sky Battle Network. In the pressure of the powerful aura of Qin Fen, they would more or less have some breakthroughs. The power of their attacks was also rare within the nine stars martial artists’ circle of the Federation. If it were other nine-star martial artists, they wouldn’t even be able to endure one attack from any one of them.

However, Qin Fen was too strong! The real peak could only stand one person! Qin Fen was the person who stood at the peak of the nine stars! Martial Emperor Dragon Fists. Yin and Yang Limitless Double Dragon had repelled all his opponents during the short moment of fierce battle…

Kacha… kacha… crack… crack…

A series of bones cracking sound echoed. Thunderstorm Warrior looked at his chest in surprise. In such a fierce battle, not only did Thirty-Six Hours block the attack, but he also landed a palm on his chest which shattered all his bones, forcing a huge transparent hole in his chest.

The nine stars Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians was actually broken by just a palm! Upon taking the Armor Pill, his ability was increased by ten percents and it was shattered by a palm!

The body of Thunderstorm Warrior quickly disappeared from the ring and countless spectators were stunned. The Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians actually couldn’t withstand Thirty-Six Hours’ one palm.

The hands of Feng Chen Tian Xia was flattened. Her Big Dipper Acupuncture that could easily pierce rocks were all broken!

With a proud smile, Xiong Kuohai’s body disappeared quickly from the platform of the Sky Battle Network. His leg did not kick Qin Fen on the first time, but he landed the second kick to the back of Qin Fen!

On Qin Fen’s majestic body, only the muscles at the back of his waist were collapsed. Xiong Kuohai finally found an opening in the divine art on Qin Fen’s waist by paying the price of taking the knockback from the protective divine art and breaking his leg.

Qin Fen was not a god! While he was fighting with the six nine-star apex-level masters, his protection true energy would still be broken if he was hit by Xiong Kuohai’s suicide blow that was struck with his full potential.

Shang Xuanyue flew out for more than thirty meters and vomited blood repeatedly. But he did not disappear from the Sky Battle Network. His eyes stared at Qin Fen with unparalleled horror. His arms were broken completely.

Shanhe Sheji panted roughly. He was stronger than other martial artists; he was only bounced back for twenty meters. He only broke one arm and one leg!

“Huhu…” Shanhe Sheji panted roughly, and his eyes stared at Qin Fen excitedly. He had realized too many things in the fierce battle just now. It was more useful than his father’s personal teaching!

Qin Fen quietly closed his eyes. Even though the protective true energy at the back of his waist was broken, he did not really hurt himself. At that time, if he did not have to block forcibly, he had really wanted to test the kick to see how strong his protective divine art was.

The true energy in his body gradually began to calm down from his boiling state. Qin Fen’s eyes slowly opened and he looked at the Shanhe Sheji, who was looking at him with expectations.

“Thirty-Six Hours…” Shanhe Sheji swallowed nervously, “Have you started Reborn of Blood Transfusion and entered True Inborn?”

Qin Fen’s face was baffled. He frowned with an indescribable curiosity in his heart.

According to the master and Ge Bing, if one wanted to enter the ten stars realm, they must first perform Reborn of Blood Transfusion in the nine-star realm before they could advance into the so-called True Inborn of the ten stars.

There was no rebirth without blood transfusion! Without rebirth, how could there be a True Inborn!?

Qin Fen couldn’t understand, his qi and blood did have a condensed sensation just now, but then it scattered like usual. There was no condensation of Reborn of Blood Transfusion.

However, ten stars? Qin Fen smiled bitterly, My strength in the battle just now did had a new breakthrough.

Now, Qin Fen could proudly tell anyone, “I am already a ten-star martial artist!”

But, Reborn of Blood Transfusion was not really completed. What is this?

Qin Fen took a deep breath, and his eyes were very complicated and said to Shanhe Sheji, “I didn’t experience the Reborn of Blood Transfusion…”

“What?”

Shanhe Sheji eyes flashed with disappointment, it could even be said to be desperation. Was the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth so difficult to enter?

“But…” Qin Fen sighed and said strangely, “I have entered ten stars.”

“What!?”

Shanhe Sheji was shocked. Among the five million viewers who knew about the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth had a series of surprise, as if they were swayed in the thick cumulus clouds over the battlefield.

Almost everyone who knew Reborn of Blood Transfusion knew that there was a huge threshold between the nine stars and the ten stars. If one wanted to step into the ten stars, they must first Reborn of Blood Transfusion to reach the state of True Inborn before they could enter the ten stars.

It could be said that Reborn of Blood Transfusion was the key to enter the door of the ten stars. If you don’t have the key, you can never enter the gate.

Today there was someone who didn’t get the key to pass through the gate, but they seemed to have walked through the wall and sneaked into the strength of ten stars.

“You…you really don’t have Reborn of Blood Transfusion…yet you have entered the ten-star strength?”

Shanhe Sheji’s gaze was filled with shock, and his throat squirmed as he swallowed. His mind flashed back to a long, long time ago, as he was listening to his father talking about the scene of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.

“Son, there are two ways to enter the ten-star. One was True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth and then use this as a powerful springboard to easily enter the ten-star. This is also the most popular and easiest way. There was also another… forget it… that kind of method could only be done by a monster. It’s usually impossible…”

“Father, just say it.”

“Well, the other method was to enter the ten-star strength first, and then enter the state of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth. This possibility is almost zero. After all, it is too difficult.”

Shanhe Sheji still remembered that the father of Golden Dragon Kang’s faint desolated aura.

“In fact, the second way to enter the ten-star, first enter the ten-star and then reach the state of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, is far stronger than entering the Blood Transfusion Rebirth and then entering the ten-star!”

“Why?”

“Why? Hehe! Child, if you think about it, you would know it as well. Was the impact of True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth at the Nine Stars greater? Or was the impact of a person who suppressed a star-class and entered the ten-star-class, and then experienced Blood Transfusion Rebirth greater?”

“Of course it’s the latter!”

“You are right, of course it’s the latter. However, this method is too difficult, unless the cultivator’s innate true energy purity is extremely high. However, martial artists with such qualification… maybe the martial artists with the Copper Solar Constitution would have a slight opportunity?”

The scene at the time crossed the mind of Shanhe Sheji quickly. He looked at Qin Fen from head to toe. He wanted to tear open the act on Qin Fen’s face and see who this Thirty-Six Hours was. Why was his energy more pure than the true energy of other innate martial artists? Did he really have the qualifications of the legendary Copper Solar Constitution?

“You… your true energy purity level…” Shanhe Sheji finally asked, “Was there a problem?”

“Inborn true energy purity?”

Qin Fen’s eyelids blinked and a scene surged into his mind. It was the moment when he had successfully broken into the five-star star-class and Du Zhanpeng died. That time, the true energy was wildly transfused into Du Zhanpeng’s body, resulting in an unstable foundation within him. He was defeated and dropped from the five-star star-class back to the four-star.

At that time, the master also said that by dropping a star-class level, it was almost impossible to raise the level back up once again. However, if one really wanted to raise it back up, then the inborn true energy purity must first be obtained. It could not be compared to other congenital martial artists.

The reason why he could win battles consecutively these days, other than the powerful Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, was because that high purity of the innate true energy quality also destroyed a lot of opponents’ true energy.

“Is it… because of the innate true energy…?” Qin Fen’s eyes crossed with amazement, and his heart secretly decided, “At night, no matter which tutor I meet, I should ask. If I am in this special situation, is it a good thing or a bad thing?”

Chaotic Antarctic looked at Qin Fen in the arena. This person did not go through the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth state, and entered the realm of ten star-class? Is he the kind of monster father once mentioned?

Chaotic Antarctic found that his mouth was opened so wide that he could swallow a duck egg. He just stared at Qin Fen blankly. This kind of person actually exist? I just don’t know, could he do Reborn of Blood Transfusion? My father once said…

“The first thing to do during the Reborn of Blood Transfusion is to fully grasp your own qi and blood. The more powerful the martial artist is, the harder it is to grasp the qi and blood. But if you don’t have the strength of the nine-star-class to grasp the qi and blood, theoretically, it wouldn’t work. Unless there was a monster leveled super genius…”

“The reason why the Nine Stars find it so difficult to enter the ten stars is because the qi and blood are very difficult to grasp. But if they are really monsters, they can grasp the qi and blood in ten stars. It would be ten times more difficult than grasping qi and blood in nine stars! Maybe he wouldn’t even be able to get the Reborn of Blood Transfusion for the rest of his life. So, it’s not necessarily a good thing to enter the ten-star strength before getting the Reborn of Blood Transfusion.”

“Father, since the later the Reborn of Blood Transfusion, the stronger the impact power. Why do you seem to indicate that if you complete the Reborn of Blood Transfusion early on, one is to be very strong? Otherwise, you wouldn’t describe it as a monster level super genius.”

“That’s right! If you are eight-star Reborn of Blood Transfusion, it’s probably harmful to yourself. But if you are one-star, two-star strength and can obtain Reborn of Blood Transfusion… tsk tsk… that kind monster should not exist… if they really exist, they can quickly become a strong man of the divine beast level…”

“Then does a ten-star martial artist with Reborn of Blood Transfusion have a stronger future? Or one-star, two-star…”

“This… I don’t know! These two kinds are monsters. The comparison of monsters cannot be comprehended by common sense.”

Chaotic Antarctic looked at Qin Fen and with a low voice, muttered, “Father… there is such a monster, and I just met him… I just don’t know if he can execute Reborn of Blood Transfusion?”

Qin Fen looked up at the people who were still dazed, and whispered, “Forget it! Although there is no Reborn of Blood Transfusion, I still managed to enter ten-star-class so it is not that bad.”

On the huge stage, Qin Fen’s body distorted and disappeared instantly in front of everyone’s eyes.

Only then did the audience react and start to exclaim, something that should have happened long before.
