The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 241: Shocking News

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Why? Why are the new recruits of West Asia still attacking East Asian recruits who are still human?

Qin Fen didn’t have much time to think about this question. The outstanding trio of West Asia was as quick as lightning, and the aura emanating from their body was filled with chilling killing intent.

They took action with every intent to kill, instead of catching or defeating their opponents!

Qin Fen, who had long been accustomed to the life and death struggle in a battlefield, replaced the magazine at an alarming speed with a slight shake of his wrist. Immediately after, numerous steel plates spewed out from the Thunderstorm, reflecting the sunshine.

At the sight of this, the eyes of the heroic trio of West Asia, who were attacking from the air, shone with a frightful and sharp gleam. They couldn’t believe that the speed of replacing the magazine, which could only be achieved by the mobile armor precision instruments, could also be done by a human with a similar speed.

If they had known that Qin Fen’s speed of replacing the clip had reached such level, the heroic trio of West Asia would absolutely not have attacked.

A moment later, the rotating steel discs were deeply nailed into the cliff on the opposite side without any kind of hindrance what so ever. As such, the heroic trio of West Asia became riddled with holes.

God knows whether they were lucky or unlucky, the dark clouds-like steel disc attack miraculously did not hit the eyes of the heroic trio of West Asia. Four eyes that were filled with despair were staring straight at Qin Fen.

From their eyes, it was quite evident how regretful these two heroes of West Asia who had even used their biochemical beasts were feeling.

Perhaps the heroic trio of West Asia might have the strength to fight Okamoto Takeshi after having energized their biochemical beast.

However, they already had no way to know. When they decided to launch an attack at Qin Fen, they didn’t realize that they had already written their names on the list of souls for the reaper of death to harvest.

The moment the steel discs were nailed into the cliff, Mourad Tschick, who was the first to launch the ambush, moved! His body was sticking close to the ground, just like a snake quickly slithering in the grass.

With the leaves of the grass still swaying, he appeared not too far away from Qin Fen. The three-sectional staff in his hand suddenly separated with a loud crash, sharply increasing the attack distance of the staff.

“Quite fast! Nice timing!” Qin Fen’s legs quickly retreated. In his heart, he was amazed. This Mourad’s skill was better than the other two. What’s more, he had achieved level two fusion with his biochemical beast. With the three-sectional staff in his hand, he was qualified enough to take on Okamoto Takeshi alone.

The three-sectional staff in Mourad’s hand came to a stop less than a half feet away from Qin Fen and the jet-black muzzle fired a frightful cold gleam under the sun.

God-Demon Body, biochemical beast energized!

Although it was only in level-one fusion state, if it was used to improve the time to change the clip, it was more than enough.

Mourad’s three sectional staff was also unable to resist the great law of gravity and fell heavily on the ground.

One side was holding the Thunderstorm that could shred people into pieces in an instant, while the other was holding an iron stick that was unable to attack the opponent’s body. The winner was already self-evident.

Staring at Qin Fen’s arm that was holding the Thunderstorm, Mourad’s eyes flickered with a look of disbelief.

Such a heavy weapon could actually be carried in the hands of a six-star martial artist, and carried with such ease it feels like a matchstick!?

Slowly, a bit of a forlorn smile took over Mourad’s face. Even if their side had not been attacked by any monsters, the mock confrontation between the East and West Asia recruits would have only resulted in the horrific defeat of West Asia recruits.

Thunderstorm, used by a new recruit of East Asia like this, already made the mock battle lose its significance before it even began.

No wonder East Asia agreed to a mock battle when they clearly knew that West Asia had three heroes of West Asia! Mourad broke into bitter laughter. Ironically, West Asia Army still believed that they could win this time. Their information gathering ability was truly too poor.

“Are you finished laughing?” Qin Fen coldly kicked away the three-sectional staff that Mourad had lost. “Why did you want to kill me?”

Mourad gently shut his eyes, recalling the scene when the trio saw Qin Fen together.

The recruits of West Asia are finished. The monsters that suddenly popped out of the ground were too fierce. Furthermore, the weapons in the recruits’ hands were only loaded with practice ammunition, lacking any lethality whatsoever.

When they saw that the weapon in Qin Fen’s hand could fire live ammunition with its enormous power, the three heroes of West Asia, without exchanging any words, came to a tactical understanding as to what to do.

They must kill Qin Fen and snatch his weapon! Only by taking this weapon could they survive!

Of course, they could also choose to follow this East Asia recruit and survive this way as well.

However, if they did this...

When everything was over, the glory of West Asia Army would become totally non-existent because the three heroes of West Asia sought shelter under an East Asia recruit.

For the glory of West Asia, they could not seek refuge under the East Asia recruit!

There was another reason, but also the most fundamental reason as to why the three heroes of West Asia wanted to kill Qin Fen.

“It’s truly terrifying that you can control such a large weapon freely.” Mourad, staring at the jet-black muzzle, said in a steady manner, “As long as you are there in the mock battle of the new recruit tournament...”

Mourad didn’t continue, but Qin Fen already understood what the opposite party was implying.

The new recruit mock battle tournament was a competition between new recruits who had not yet been assigned to various service and were still training together.

As such, it was bound to be a confrontation of the ground forces. There would be no electronic warfare, no mobile armor or aircraft.

As the matter stood, the Thunderstorm in the new recruits mock battle tournament was almost invincible.

The West Asia Army had already made a proclamation that they would hold down the East Asia Army in any aspect during the new recruit tournament. But all the resolute declarations made by the West Asia Army failed with Qin Fen walking around with the Thunderstorm.

At least, with East Asia having such a monster in the new recruit mock battle tournament, not only West Asia would have issues. Even the American recruits may not necessarily have a way to win.

Today, the turmoil caused by the sudden emergence of the insect warriors had given the three heroes of West Asia a chance. So long as they could kill Qin Fen here, they could push it on the insect warriors later and that would be enough.

All the calculations were finalized in an instant, but the result was completely different than what the heroes of West Asia had imagined.

In just one second, out of three heroes of West Asia, two were dead and one was injured.

Having understood the truth, Qin Fen’s gaze grew colder and colder. To his surprise, they had spared no efforts to kill a fellow soldier just for the glory of the West Asia Army!

Qin Fen found it somewhat ridiculous. Asia was the largest comprehensive continent in the Federation. Yet it was forcefully divided into West and East Asia. And even when the situation had developed into this, they were still thinking of killing someone.

“Since you want to kill me...”

“You can also kill me.” Mourad calmly closed his eyes. “When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you will not be soft-hearted when you decided to kill someone. When I had decided to make my move, I was ready to be killed by you if and when I fail.”

Qin Fen slowly nodded his acknowledgment. Butcher had said more than once that showing leniency on a battlefield is akin to inviting Yama.

Either you live or I live! When someone had experienced this kind of thing a lot, he or she would turn into someone who would not be soft-hearted when killing someone. However, there were not many people in the world who liked killing.

“If you answer my one question, I will let you go.”

Qin Fen’s voice made Mourad open his eyes once more as a hope for survival was rekindled in his eyes.

Just as there weren’t many people who enjoyed killing, there were not many people who were truly willing to die.

“How strong is Shangguan Chuanqi compared to you?”

An obvious surprise appeared on Mourad’s face before he sneered and said, “I haven’t seen him for over half a year, but I know that he is very strong. At the rate of his development, he should be far stronger than you. If you are planning on challenging him, then, it better for you to give up. Unless...”

Mourad turned his eyes at the Thunderstorm in Qin Fen’s hand. “If you are using this thing, you should still have a chance.”

“Is that so?” Qin Fen calmly smiled. “You can go.”

Mourad stood still where he was, but his eyebrows were closely knit together. “You don’t believe me? Three months after the graduation from his high school, Shangguan Chuanqi’s strength reached eight-star level.”

Qin Fen’s pupils instantly constricted to the size of a pinhole. Three months!? Eight-star!? Qin Fen could clearly notice the sincerity in Mourad’s words; there wasn’t an ounce of exaggeration.

“The current Shangguan Chuangqi...” Mourad raised his head and looked up at the Mars which he was temporarily unable to see, his eyes filled with endless worship. “I believe should be stronger than before!”

In contrast to the expression of West Asia Army, Mourad’s face was filled with admiration!

“He will definitely be able to take the new divine beast title and become the strongest existence in the Federation!” Mourad’s eyes were filled with endless fervor. “He will have the power to override all the rules of the Federation!”

Qin Fen stared at Mourad with curiosity. What kind of man is this Shangguan Chuanqi is? How can he make Mourad, who is equally outstanding, idolize him in such a way, almost to the point of reaching obsession!?

“You...” As the expression in Mourad’s eyes became firm and clear, he stared at Qin Fen. “If you want to challenge my senior brother, you simply aren’t qualified! If you let me go today, then in the new recruits martial arts tournament, I will knock you down instead of senior brother!”

Qin Fen waved his hand, allowing the other side to leave. Looking at the fading back of the last of the three heroes of West Asia, he muttered to himself, “I will defeat you first, and then wait for Shangguan Chuanqi’s challenge.”

A gust of wind blew over, blowing the grass so that it slightly touched the ground.

Owing to the death of so many creatures here, the air seemed to be filled with a chill of lingering ghosts. Qin Fen could help but subconsciously shrink his neck.

Turning around and looking at the dark and dreary forest, Qin Fen took a long, deep breath before slowly making his way towards the forest once more.

Whether it was the new recruits martial arts tournament, or facing Song Wnedong’s holy decree-like proclamation, the most basic premise for both was to leave here alive; leave this forest that was laden with death threats.

“Eight-star...” Qin Fen muttered Mourad’s words. “Eight-star...eight-star...”

Powerful forces would not only foster the experiences of the later generations but would also transform the huge financial resources into the key to enhance the strength of their future generations as far as possible.

Right then, a large and familiar shadow appeared in the forest...
