The Favored Son of Heaven

Translator: Strivon  Editor: Nora

What was originally an attitude of recreation and fun had turned into something completely different in the minds of these spectators. They focused with rapt attention on the fight that was about to unfold on the combat field.

Everyone had different views toward the Sky Martial Battle Network, but as soon as one entered this place, they—regardless of being male or female, old or young, or introverted or extroverted in real life—would be infected by the excited atmosphere of battle,personally setting foot in the battlefield to engage in heated, blood-racing, and roaring fights with others. All those who entered the Sky Martial Battle Network would have their own combat record.

But Qin Fen was an exception. Those familiar with him even suspected that he, Expert Mouth-Shooter, was the only person out of all those who had been in this battle network for this long to never truly enter the stage and fight

In the end, was Expert Mouth-Shooter strong? Was he weak? Nobody knew! It was because of this mystery that all those familiar with Qin Fen really wanted to know what in the world this mysterious fellow’s strength was!

“Hey! Where is it? Expert Mouth-Shooter is about to fight!”

“Brother, Expert Mouth-Shooter is in Area 11, a free area. Combat field number eleven!”

“I’ll be there soon!”

“Really? This I gotta see!”

Those familiar with Qin Fen logged off one by one when they heard the news. Then they logged back into the Sky Martial Battle Network, directly selecting the free Area 11, Combat Field No. 11.

Around two hundred people appeared out of thin air in what had been a sparsely populated combat field.

“Where is he? Where is he? Which one is Expert Mouth-Shooter?” Those who just logged in asked their companions with immediate urgency.

“Propria is fighting with him,” the first to send out the notification said. “We’ve always called him Expert Mouth-Shooter. It’s been so long that I really forgot what his real name is.”

The others all laughed. Who would be bored enough to look at the ID of someone who never entered the stage to fight?

“Thirty-Six Hours? What’s that supposed to mean?” Some people questioned Qin Fen’s ID when they saw it.

Qin Fen gave a helpless smile when he heard them. This was merely the desire of someone without money, the wish that there were thirty-six hours in a day. That way he would have more time to work and make more money.

“According to the registered data, he uses the paleo martial arts technique the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. There aren’t any weapon or physical skills registered.”

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art? Everyone felt a bit surprised when seeing this recorded internal art.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was rumored to be divided into thirteen stages. It was the only truly superior paleo martial art of the public martial arts.

There was information circulating among the masses that showed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to be the most fine, supreme, and divine art in either neo martial arts or paleo martial arts.

It was utterly easy to train in the first stage this divine art. Even those who were clumsy, of low aptitude, can cultivate to this stage in two years. Cultivating the second stage needed twice the time, approximately four years. The third stage required double the cultivation time of the second, needing eight years of time. The cultivation time increased exponentially just like this. The further one got in stages, the harder it was to progress. The next stage after reaching the fifth stage needed over thirty years of bitter effort.

Legends said that if one cultivated to the realm of the tenth stage, the cultivator would be able to unleash the supreme and divine power of ten dragons and ten elephants with every strike!

Naturally, the public release of such an exquisite divine art drew everyone’s attention. If some great genius without a proper moral compass were to learn this art, the safety of society would certainly be at risk! The Federation had thought of this issue as well. For the sake of exercising greater control, the Federation only released the cultivation method of the first three stages. This gave them the option to select the best talent at the same time.

Only the first three stages of this first rate divine art could be learned, greatly decreasing its cultivation value. Quite a few people were more willing to go train in other completely publicized martial arts techniques. Though they couldn’t compare to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, training to the fifth stage in them was in no way lacking to training in the third stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. Training to the sixth stage allowed one to crush a third stage Dragon Elephant Prajna Art user.

Therefore, even though everyone knew with absolute clarity that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was an absolute paleo martial arts technique, there were very few who would cultivate in it. Occasionally there would be one who would cultivate in it, and that consisted of bitter work, of exhausting the body’s strength. Forging into every stage of this arts technique allowed the cultivator’s strength and power to increase considerably each time. This allowed a heavy physical laborer to make a bit more money.

Though the defensive strength of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was decent, it was still quite inferior to the paleo martial arts specialized in defensive strength, like the Golden Bell Shield, the Iron Mantle, and Unbreakable Diamond Body. There were even neo martial arts with better defensive strength, like the Extreme Titanium Body, the Dragon Body Holy Armor, and the Diamond Body of Earth.

Qin Fen felt everyone’s shock and gave chuckled wryly; he was a bit indifferent about it. That’s right! The purpose of cultivating in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was to increase his strength and power so that he could make a bit more money.

“Once the fighters have finished preparing, please select the ‘start battle’ option.” The voice of a beauty, digitally generated, was gently transmitted into Qin Fen’s ears.

Battle! Qin Fen’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. His body instantly entered an excited, blood-racing state, something rare for him. This would be the first time fighting against someone else for real. How could he not be excited?

Preparations were complete, so the battle began! After each fighter confirmed, the countdown to the fight immediately began.

Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven….

“Fight!”

The fight began, and Regal Propria made an explosive roar. Crackling sounds rang out around his hands and feet as faint azure lightning coalesced. This was the standard state of the Azure Electric Drive’s second stage. The first stage only allowed one to possess lightning in their hands or feet. The second stage allowed one to have lightning in both hands and feet. Following, the third stage allowed one’s arm or legs to form lightning. The more powerful one’s strength, the greater the degree the lightning covered. One could even use the lightning to make a defensive armor when one reached a certain level. It could be considered a neo martial art that encompassed both attack and defense as one.

Qin Fen was a bit shocked; this was his first battle. He could clearly feel the overflowing desire to battle, but his emotions were exceptionally calm. Not even a tincture of nervousness or excitement existed.

The Azure Electric Drive was indeed a neo martial art that was a perfect fusion of offense and defense, but those who were only at the second stage of the Azure Electric Drive were the typical case of having a strong offense but a weak defense. Qin Fen just needed to seize a single moment and he would be able to give this flashy fellow before him a nasty defeat!

Regal Propria didn’t immediately make a move. He felt out a light blue pill from the pocket on his chest, and everyone spectating couldn’t hold back from drawing in a breath of shock. Propria, this fellow, was really angry. That was none other than a Berserker Pill, capable of raising one’s attack power by ten percent within ten minutes. There would absolutely be no suspense in this fight if Thirty-Six Hours doesn’t take any pills himself; the outcome was completely determined.

Berserker Pill? Qin Fen furrowed his brow a bit. This was far too extravagant. Even if this was a virtual Berserker Pill in the Sky Martial Battle Network, hence having a price far cheaper than a real one, it still cost ten dollars to buy one.

Regal Propria took the Berserker Pill, and an arc of lightning faintly appeared on his ankle. His attack power increased by ten percent, and though he didn’t enter the third stage, he was extremely close to that level.

Qin Fen stood unmoving from his original spot. He was a bit astonished when he faced Regal Propria who had taken the Berserker Pill; he actually didn’t have a hint of worry about losing this fight. He just felt the desire to battle burn all the more magnificently in his chest.
