The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 462: The So-called Qualifications

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

As the divine beast martial artist of Earth, Qilin would naturally not only own the main peak of Qilin Mountain as his territory.

Although Qilin did not luxuriously take the whole city for himself like White Tiger and make it into the center of politics and economy, he also had his own industry.

The huge Qilin Gate did not need Song Wendong to take care of it. There were countless people that were willing to work for it. This was the charm of the divine beast martial artist. Whether the divine beast martial artist was violent or not, it was still a very attractive banner.

Green hills and blue waters; birds’ twitter and fragrance of flowers. There were a few steaming wild water pools. It was like the rumored paradise in the human world.

Song Wendong was sitting naked in the wild water pool of this ‘paradise’. His face was ruddy like a baby. His eyes were closed slightly. Two dark green aurae spouted from his nose and then was absorbed through both of his ears. Then, the aurae were spouted out from the body pores again and finally gathered into a dark green gas. There were absorbed again from the mouth and then spouted from the nostrils repeatedly.

In the battle of Qilin Mountain, Song Wendong had unexpectedly reaped a bountiful harvest. Master’s lonely fist intent, invincible boxing and all kinds of combat that were brought out by martial arts techniques were like infinite fertilizer. He was already the super martial dao master that reached the top of the world’s martial dao. It turned out there was a huge dawn in front of him.

After suppressing the breakthrough achieved at the fifteen-star level, Song Wendong was delighted to discover that his star-level strength was faintly breaking through.

This was not what made Song Wendong happiest. What really made him happy was the progress on the martial dao. As long as the martial dao was improving, it would definitely drive the advancement of the star-class strength. This was the deepest feeling he had after becoming the divine beast martial artist.

Looking at Qin Fen, who was still in a coma, relax his limbs and float in the hot spring in the water pool next to him, Song Wendong was puzzled once again. Why did this young man say fifteen minutes at that time? Why was it exactly fifteen minutes?

There were full of all kinds of quirky herbs in the hot spring Qin Fen was in. Those were the herbs Song Wendong collected with a lot of effort. The breakthrough of martial dao this time had a direct and huge relationship with Qin Fen. If he was reluctant to throw in some herbs, it would show that this divine beast martial artist was too stingy. Not to mention, Song Wendong still had things to ask Qin Fen.

In the dark spiritual space, Qin Fen levitated with his legs crossed. He sat in concentrated introspection and fell into deep thoughts. The last punch from the master meant too much!

It was only when the master made the last punch when Qin Fen realized that the master had used the fifteen minutes not just to fight the Qilin beast. He also had another idea, which was to pass on his martial arts!

Passing martial arts did not mean transmitting true energy. It merely meant having tyrannical true energy. If there was no matching martial arts cultivation, it would not be able to exert real power, just like a three-year-old child with a cheque of hundreds of billions of dollars. They would not know how to control nor use it.

The master was not going to pass the aura shield, but the martial dao! The best method to explain in this world was not to set up a blackboard and draw a few graphics.

The best method was to operate and experiment it personally. Although he did not fight personally for fifteen minutes, it was still considered his personal battle. At least, the martial sense left after the physical battle did not disappear with the end of the battle.

As a half-bystander, Song Wendong was able to receive the same gains as the people who fought personally. This was due to the strength application and the martial dao thought that the super grandmaster Song Wendong used in the battle. All of these need to go through the process of becoming a master. Otherwise, even if one fought in a hundred combats, one was unable to measure the martial dao thought of the martial art of Qilin divine beast martial artist.

Qin Fen was floating quietly. The invincible loneliness of the heaven-breaker-level master imitated by the master gave him a deep influence and shock.

Being invincible was lonely, yes, but then what about the emotionless god that was overlooking the human world?

Loneliness... Qin Fen tried to feel it attentively. When the master was giving out a punch, the invincible loneliness emotion that was unstoppable by anyone in this world contained countless martial dao knowledge and understanding.

To teach by precept and example. The master’s fifteen minutes fierce battle was not just to satisfy the feelings for a war that he’s yearned for for years. Otherwise, he would not fight for fifteen minutes. Perhaps the battle would’ve ended in ten minutes or even eight minutes.

The master was fighting this battle for Qin Fen to watch. Since Diving Boxing dared to absorb all the martial dao in the world, then how could he not see the Zong Juelu’s God-defying martial dao of the heaven-breaker master?

In the mutual fight in the spiritual space, how could it be even more straightforward than finding another divine beast level martial artist to fight against?

Not only was the master’s use of the martial arts technique exciting, even the master’s Eighteen Dragons Gathering Clouds combined with the martial arts technique of the Flame Mountain gave Qin Fen countless inspiration. These two rare super masters of this world gave Qin Fen too much inspiration.

Tsk tsk...

The boiling hot water in the hot springs showed swordsmanship. Steward Hou bent his waist slightly as he came in front of Qilin with his hands lifted up and said, “Master, congratulations.”

Song Wendong opened his eyes again, and the fine awn between the heavens and the earth seemed to absorb into his eyes for a moment. His majestic body stood up from the water, revealing his figure like a strong and perfect stone carved by a master using his whole life.

“Congratulations?” Song Wendong clenched his fist lightly looking at the smiling face, and the hot water in the hot spring was boiling under his waist. He looked up at the sky that had turned starry and said faintly, “I didn’t think of it, I really didn’t think of it.”

Steward Hou held a set of dark green warrior suit, “Master, am I right? This kid is very interesting?”

“Interesting...” Song Wendong looked at Qin Fen who was unconscious and lying in the hot spring comfortably. His eyes showed a bit of confusion, “It’s really hard to imagine... his unconscious instinctive battle was much more powerful than Mercury’s Black Tortoise. However...”

Song Wendong’s face became dull and his eyes that were filled with disappointment stared at Qin Fen, “The stronger he is when he is in a coma, the more useless he is when he is awake! What’s the use of hidden potential? The number of martial artists with great potential in the world are like stars, but those that are able to develop their own potential...”

Song Wendong spread his palms gently and looked at the five thick fingers. His words showed a bit of desolateness, “There are too few martial artists who can develop their potential...”

Steward Hou nodded lightly. As the first person to follow Song Wendong, he knew Qilin as more than the son of Earth Martial God, Song Zhenting.

Song Wendong, who had situated on Earth for many years, had seen too many young martial artists rise at high-speed like comets, but they all disappeared like a comet in the long river of martial dao. Many people entered the realm of a martial dao master but were not able to move forward.

Qin Fen became an outstanding martial dao master when he was less than twenty years old. Aside from the mysterious Azure Dragon, he almost created a precedent in the history of martial dao.

Song Wendong felt ashamed of himself seeing him enter the rank of martial dao master at such an age.

However, the renowned youngest martial dao master in the history of martial dao did not appear only once.

There was once upon a time, someone had entered the ranks of martial dao master at the age of thirty-one. The masters of the martial dao world were in an uproar. This was the super record ever since the establishment of entering the realm of martial dao! Almost all the martial dao masters believed that this person who had rapid momentum and unlimited potential would become the super master in the future, but his martial dao had stagnated and no longer moved forward.

As time went by, another person broke into the ranks of martial dao master when he was thirty years old. He had set a record of entering martial dao master once again. Numerous martial dao masters gave their hope to this person, but the bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment.

Song Wendong had been in the high-ranking Qilin for many years and had seen the rise of these people like comets.

“Potential does not mean future.”

Steward Hou would never forget Song Wendong’s words. The rise of a genius in the martial dao world was similar to the so-called juvenile university class or the child prodigy university class.

Normally, one needed to be at least eighteen years old to enter colleges or universities. However, there were some people who were particularly outstanding in academics that could enter at fourteen years old or thirteen years old. Some people were even able to achieve excellent results at ten years old and enter the best universities in the world, causing a sensation in the world.

There were even prestigious universities that specialized in setting up a child prodigy university class to recruit such outstanding low-age students from all over the country.

However, how many among these so-called child prodigies had become Newton, and who had become Einstein? No one! Although these people’s early speeds were strong, they were not comparable to famous scientists such as Einstein and Newton.

These prestigious super scientists were not known for coming from a prodigy class, and many famous scientists were even called idiots when they were young.

“Science is so, martial dao is also the same. Only ignorant people will think that successful young people will definitely have a bright future.”

When Steward Hou recalled Qilin’s words, he looked at Qin Fen again, only bitterness left in his mouth. According to the theory of Qilin and other powerful martial artists, potential was nothing. The thing that would affect the future was the ability to stimulate potential.

If a person with unlimited potential was unable to stimulate the potential, then this kind of person was no better than the martial artists with low potential who could stimulate the potential fully.

“A real genius is not based on one’s potential, but depends on how much potential one can inspire himself or herself.” Steward Hou raised his chest slightly and looked at Saturn in the sky. The speed Qin Fen rose these days was even faster than those martial artists who rose like comets. However, he still had not set his foot on the real steps to fight a divine beast martial artist, while there are already people on Saturn fighting now.

“Martial artists don’t look at your family background or the platform behind you. Do not complain about fairness or unfairness. All it looks at is the strength of the martial artist in the end.”

Steward Hou had to admit that although Qilin’s cold words sounded harsh, it was indeed the reality.

Song Wendong lowered his head slowly and looked at Qin Fen with a complex expression. The potential of this young man in a coma could not only be described as astounding. It could be said that it was so overwhelming that it made people feel impressed.

Although he had such potential, he couldn’t maintain the true aura shield to enter the body when he was in a conscious state. This showed that his ability to stimulate his potential was too low.

It might be enough for a person to enter the ranks of martial dao master under twenty years old and had undertaken a pioneering work that no predecessors could initiate! However... Song Wendong sighed repeatedly in his heart. A person with such potential... but only achieved such performance. It’s not enough! Not enough!

Song Wendong clenched his fingers into fists and felt the power in his body. He expanded his chest and straighten his waist. He only needed to live in seclusion for some time, then his martial dao would move forward!

“Master.” Steward Hou stood beside Song Wendong and whispered, “This kid, Qin Fen seems to have passed the examination?”

Song Wendong closed his eyes and remained silent. Steward Hou knew that he was in hesitation. His lips showed a faint smile. There were very few things in this world that could make Qilin hesitate. It was very rare for Qin Fen to be able to do this.

“If... Jia Jia likes a person who has no martial arts potential, then it is fine. I am not a grandfather who wants to disturb her marriage arbitrarily, but she likes a person who has potential in martial dao...” Song Wendong opened his eyes and sighed, “Since he wants to take the martial dao path, then I have to take care of it! It doesn’t matter if they say I am dictatorial. As Qilin... hmph hmph...”

Steward Hou knew the hidden meaning in Song Wendong’s two “hmph” as Qilin! As the strongest of the martial artists, he was naturally qualified to be dictatorial! Being arrogant was the privilege of a divine beast martial artist! Refuse to obey? Then be a divine beast martial artist if you were capable! Before being a divine beast, one did not even have the power to defy as the other party could kill you as easily as killing an ant.

“Hmm, after watching his unconscious battle, his performance when he is sober is just barely a pass.” Qilin took a look at Qin Fen that was in a coma, then turned and disappeared into the night. There was only a faint voice left in Steward Hou’s ear, “Bring him to see me when he wakes up.”

Under the starry night sky, Steward Hou took off his clothes slowly, revealing his wrinkled skin. His aging skin was particularly obvious on his flabby muscles. He looked like an old man that had declining age like a candle in the wind and walked slowly into the hot spring. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the relaxation of the hot spring.

Only those who were very familiar with him knew how powerful this seemingly old body was.

The stars changed its position, the sun rose and the moon rose. Time passed quickly. The hot spring’s color that had changed due to the herbs had now restored to its normal hot spring color. It was only one night, but all the nutrients in the herbs were absorbed unconsciously by Qin Fen’s body that was sleeping deeply.

Qin Fen stretched his arms and waist. He woke up from a deep sleep. The muscles of his whole body ached indescribably. This feeling had not appeared in a long time.

The body was only controlled by the master for fifteen minutes. Qin Fen had no choice but to admire the master’s ability that had caused his waist to be sore and his back to ache.

Qin Fen didn’t leave the hot spring right away. He relaxed his limbs and continued to lie in the hot springs, feeling the legacy from the battle that was controlled by the master.

This was a huge legacy. Qin Fen’s body was like a computer with a memory model. It still had a deep memory of the true energy flowing intensity of the fierce battle and the martial arts technique.

Qin Fen took back the control of his own body and realized the battle that was fought obviously by the master was as though the previous battle of Qilin was done by himself.

Magical, it is really magical! The realization through direct control of the body was entirely different from the realization in the special spiritual space. This feeling was much more realistic which allowed the physical instinct to rise up to a realization of martial dao.

After closing his eyes for four hours, Qin Fen felt his stomach start to protest. It had already been many hours without eating, and with Song Wendong’s super amount of exercise, his stomach was already empty.

When Qin Fen opened his eyes, he first saw an old face with a faint smile. The eyes on the old face of Steward Hou were filled with kindness.

“Come up since you are awake.” Hou Guanjia stood beside the hot spring and smiled slightly, but his eyes could not hide the surprise when Qin Fen woke up.

It was just an hour of deep sleep. Qin Fen woke up and had big changes in his energy. In a short period of fewer than twenty-four hours, Qin Fen seemed to have gone through a year or two of hard work living in seclusion.

The myth that martial dao could make a spurt of progress was fulfilled on Qin Fen once again.

It was still Qin Fen who had fifteen-star strength, but the aura that was emitted from the whole body felt very different from before.

Steward Hou was very sure that if Qin Fen was in the final battle with Bae Seong-Joon at Hallasan that day, he could point his fingers to Bae Seong-Joon and Kyokushin Kouten at the same time and said proudly, “Come to me at once you both.”

It would be an absolute victory! Steward Hou looked at Qin Fen’s qi that only the master could feel. If Qin Fen were to have a fierce battle with Kyokushin Kouten and Bae Seong-Joon now, he would not only have the victory, but his energy would not fade like last time.

It was two completely different worlds between martial dao masters and martial artists who did not enter the martial dao master realm. Before entering the realm of martial dao master, martial artists with good talents could certainly fight several martial artists at the same time.

However, this situation was difficult to happen again after entering the realm of martial dao master. The martial dao master was a martial artist who had a deep understanding of martial dao through Nirvana Marrow Transformation. When there was a one-on-one battle, the winners would often be seriously injured. If the battle was one-on-two, it would definitely be defeat.

Entering the ranks of martial dao master and even being able to have a one-on-two battle... that would be another kind of realm.

True aura shield entering the body! Qin Fen felt that he did not make the true aura shield enter his body that day, but he succeeded today. There was even a sign of converting energy into element. There was a feeling of bitterness in his smile. This kind of feeling was really like gaining something without effort. Perhaps other people might be ecstatic about it, but he had a feeling of discomfort.

Qin Fen walked out of the hot spring. He took over the clothes from Steward Hou and bowed to express his thanks. Then he wore the proper warrior suit.

“Kid, you stood up to the height that the predecessors who entered the fifteen-star had never stood up.” Steward Hou nodded gently, “As an old man, this is the only time I see such a solid foundation.”

Qin Fen smiled awkwardly. After the battle with master and Qilin, it should be said that this was the biggest gain since entering the world of martial dao. He had full confidence in gaining the victory if he were to go back to that day at Hallasan with his current strength and fight with the three martial dao masters, Kyokushin Kouten, Bae Seong-Joon and the Neo Aikido master Hatoyama Kazuo.
