The Favored Son of Heaven

Translator: Strivon  Editor: Nora

Though war had never truly decended, the atmosphere between the planets remained utterly tense.

The Federation had suddenly ammended the Enlistment Law. Qin Fen had no choice but to take a bit more time in considering his decision.

He pondered quietly for a few seconds before filling out the application form with zest. The direction of his ambition pointed toward the army.

A war between the planets should begin with engagement using cosmic warships and space fighters. Only at the very end would the army be dispatched and land to fight, executing the order to occupy a territory.

If war truly did emerge, being a common citizen wasn’t necessarily safe. Being a soldier, particularly of the army, was probably safer than being a common citizen.

Qin Fen let out a sudden drawn out yawn after he finished filling out the form. His mind, radiating with energy a moment ago, felt extremely weary in the blink of an eye.

Tired! Qin Fen Qin Fen felt an enormous sleepiness never felt before engulf his entire body. He forced himself to keep his eyes open as he stood up. He used a supernatural will to resist the sleepiness that assulted his entire body and walked to the side of his bed, drained of energy. He climbed under the sheets.

Finally sleepy This thought flashed in Qin Fen’s mind as he sunk into murky sleep.

The moon outside the window radiated a clear light, passing through the dilapidated window–one who’s glass had been wiped extremely clean–to shine on Qin Fen’s body.

Qin Fen’s body bathed in the moonlight, his breathing drawn-out and peaceful. A glowing dot flickered like a star on the spot between his eyebrows.

Qin Fen, deep asleep, discovered himself to be floating in a vast darkness of space.

How big was it? Qin Fen could not say himself. He raised his eyes to gaze within this darkness of space. It was clear that there weren’t any light, yet it seemed that he was able to look far into the distance. There was the feeling that his vision wasn’t hampered at all.

“Is this….” Qin Fen looked all around him in marvel, “a dream?”

A very strange dream! Qin Fen soon ascertained his thoughts. This was the first time for him; realizing that he was dreaming right at the beginning of a dream.

The dark space suddenly flared, and something like a movie screen appeared out of thin air.

This was a silent ‘wuxia film’, or perhaps an ‘action film’.

Only a few character appeared in this ‘film’, and there was no explanation of any of the character’s backstory. The film just began with a battle.

These people displayed neo martial arts and paleo martial arts often. The power of every strike allowed Qin Fen to conclude that he was indeed dreaming.

There were rumors that people could cultivate neo martial art or paleo martial arts to a stage where it was possible to shatter mountains, to a paramount realm where one didn’t need any items of assistance to fly around in outer space. But these were merely rumors. Qin Fen had never seen such instances, at the very least.

The people in the ‘film’ displayed abilities much more fearsome than the rumors. Every single movement of these people was able to destroy mountains. Their fierce battle made the earth tremble in terrifying earthquakes, and countless jets of magma erupted from the ground.

Gradually yet quickly, the fierce battle between these people went into outer space. In a situation without any protective gear, these people completely ignored the existence of the universe’s laws in science and technology. They unleashed crazed attacks on each other, each strike producing enormous energy that was more fiery and more fierce than scenes within a fantasy film.

“This has to be a dream.” Qin Fen smiled wryly, “This is way too exaggerated….”

The enormous screen suddenly faded away before he could finish speaking. Qin Fen was a bit stupefied. This dream was truly bizarre. He didn’t want the ‘film’ to go away. Why did it suddenly disappear?

Countless points of life suddenly appeared in the vast and empty dark space. These points of light slowly converged together in a spot above Qin Fen’s body, ultimately forming an enormous human figure.

The human figure, formed from points of light, looked down at Qin Fen. It suddenly opened its mouth and spoke several seconds later.

“A body of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. The strength is low, but the physical body is excellent. The potential for growth is enormous, but the user is incapable of receiving the star force infusion process and its explosive increase in power…”

Then the figure of light spoke a series of data that Qin Fen was completely unable to comprehend. There was also a pile of terms from a strange language he had nerver heard before.

The figure of light slowly descended to be before Qin Fen. The two flickering red eyes of light stared at Qin Fen as the figure of light slowly resounded without a hint of emotion, “You need training….”

“Training?” Qin Fen was stupefied once more. Could this be his subconscious mind wishing to increase training from his recent series of fights? Thus dreaming this dream tonight?

The figure of light ignored Qin Fen’s train of thought, he minded his own business, performing the Shaolin Arhat Fist that Qin Fen was most familiar with. The white figure of light let out a sound akin to the roar of dragons and elephants every time he lifted a hand or raised a leg. The sound was so enormous that it shook Qin Fen’s brain into a bit of a daze.

Rumor had it that when the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was cultivated to a certain realm, not only could one possess the power of ten dragons and ten elephants, every explosive strike would allow the muscles and bones to unleash the roar of dragons and elephants. And the mere roar of dragons and elephants from the muscles and bones was capable of injuring an opponent.

Qin Fen had always believed that this was a mere exaggeration. But the man before his eyes utilized the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art as the foundation to strike with the Shaolin Arhat Fist, and every strike possessed the roar of dragons and elephants.

In this dream…. Qin Fen was shocked to his core by the thunderous sound, unable to breathe, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art faintly surged and rushed within him.

There shouldn’t be pain or any other sensations within a dream, right? Qin Fen lifted his eyelids, looking all around him with suspicion, and he secretly pinched the back of his hand.

Pain! Qin Fen looked at his pinched hurting hand in shock. There really was the sensation of pain! Coult it be? Was this not a dream?

The figure of light finished the entire sequence of the Shaolin Arhat Fist. Then he openly started to carry out the sequence of the Great Flood Fist.

Qin Fen was even more shocked now, his eyes bulging wide. Shaolin Arhat Fist and the Great Flood Fist were the first forms he practiced the most. It seemed that the figure of light actually knew his most familiar fist forms.

After completing the two different sets of fist forms, the figure of light continued to ignore Qin Fen shock. He minded his own business, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

A thin red thread suddenly appeared on the body of the white figure of light. This thread performed movements that were quite regular within the body, exactly like the circulation channel diagram of an internal cultivation technique.

Qin Fen watched with amazement. This channel diagram was similar to that of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, but there were many channels that were different. And one full cycle was equivalent to circulating the first stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art over twenty times.

“Please follow me in practicing the first stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art….” The figure of light’s mechanical voice rang within Qin Fen’s ears after completing one cycle of circulation.

“The first stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art?” Qin Fen looked at the monstrous figure of light. “Do you think I haven’t practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art before? Yours should be fake….”
