The Favored Son of Heaven
Chapter 311 - Decision! An Unexpected Reward! Objection!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
People that were passing by the street looked curiously at the scene that had just happened. Shenyang was always a place with good public security. How did a street fight involving a soldier happen here today?
Ka cha…
Among the car that passed by, some had taken out their phones and snapped the scene on the street. The cars would then drive away rapidly.
“Old Qin, I will just give you a signboard.” Xue Tian joked, “You can write, “the challenger only needs to state their name and start fighting. Don’t talk nonsense with me.” It would save you many troubles.”
Qin Fen shook his head feebly. If he really walked down the street with a signboard like that, it wouldn’t be strange that people would assume that he was a person who was mentally sick.
Xue Tian shrugged his shoulders and jumped on the luxury bus. It wouldn’t be possible for Song Wendong to announce this matter to everyone. There would be a certain limitation of the number of people who knew of this. At least for the time being, this news would only be spread among the people in society’s upper-class.
In that case… Xue Tian sighed. Those challengers must have some background. If Qin Fen continued to fight like this, he might be accepted by some open-minded families. But he would offend vulture families that would shield their own family members’ faults.
Qin Fen sat at the back row of the bus and laid down across the seats. He took a military cap and covered his face, just like what Sky Splitter Brooks did to hide himself.
He had encountered three challengers in a row. Qin Fen was worried that he would be spotted by other people with keen eyes and the bus would be stopped. Then he would need to continue fighting on his journey back to the military headquarters.
Hiding did not violate the challenge rules set by Song Wendong. The bus had also gained speed at this point, so they didn’t meet any other challengers.
Qin Fen scratched his forehead that was hidden under the hat. T hat’s not going to work. I have to find a way to set up my dignity. Perhaps I can ask Lin Liqiang the names of martial artists in Shenyang that are young and famous and are interested in being the grandson-in-law of Song Wendong. Then I can challenge them to frighten those that have gone crazy trying to become Song Wendong’s grandson-in-law.
The bus stopped. Qin Fen’s face that was covered under the military cap showed a hint of helplessness. His eyes were also showing that he was irritated.
There was no need for him to hear screaming voices or watch the scenery outside the window. He could feel three raging fires of battle outside the bus just by his martial senses.
It was normal if he felt the scent of iron-willed soldiers at the entrance of the Shenyang military. However, if he felt an intention to battle at a place like this?
What did these people want to do? Why are they showing intention for a battle outside the entrance of the military headquarters? Are they crazy enough to challenge the military headquarters? Not everyone can be the Earth Martial God Song Wendong.
Qin Fen could even guess using his knees that the three people outside that were showing their intention to fight were here to challenge him.
He took off his military cap. He walked down the bus with his luggage and asked if they were here to challenge. Once he confirmed their intention, he gave them a punch, a kick, and an Arhat Fist Twisting Single Mountain Thrust. The three challengers flew out a dozen meters and fell on the ground, moaning in pain.
Qin Fen put his military cap on and followed the team into the military headquarters. He did not worry about the three injured people. Since they had the courage to rob someone else of their wife, they should have been prepared to be beaten up. There must be good hospitals near the military headquarters. He believed that an ambulance would arrive soon. These three martial artists that dared to try and rob another man’s wife would be taken to the hospital for treatment.
The two soldiers standing in front of the military headquarters looked at Qin Fen with admiration and doubts. They eyed him for a moment. So this is the recruit that took part in the recruit tournament? No wonder he had the best results in history. Strong! Powerful! He did not even use a moment to breathe when he ended his battle with the three five-star martial artists .
The compound of the East Asia Military Region was far larger than what Qin Fen could’ve imagined. Although the architecture was not magnificent, everything here maintained the simple style of the military. The building materials here…
Qin Fen was shocked. The materials did not look valuable or luxurious. No one would be able to imagine that even though they were not as valuable as gold, they were more expensive than the materials used for the presidential palace.
Qin Fen had the ability to distinguish the materials after following several instructors for days and studying. The strength of these materials was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Typically, an explosion from heavy-duty high explosive projectile or missile could easily collapse a small building. However, if it targeted any part of this building, it was safe to say that blasting of a hole the size of a fist was more than just an accomplishment.
The attack of the Pentagon in America by the terrorists destroyed four corners of the building. Since then, all military regions of the continents took their safety seriously. The terrorists now had headaches because the buildings were far more sturdy.
Qin Fen came to a small auditorium as he walked passed the front house of the compound. Zhao Huzi quickened his pace and stepped up the rostrum. There were two major generals sitting behind the long table.
On top of the hall behind the rostrum hung a long red strip that read, “A warm welcome to the soldiers that return with glory from the recruit tournament.”
Qin Fen smiled. Many things had changed with the development of technology. Only this place had not changed much and seemed to have become a cultural heritage.
“Old Zhao, if only I knew that this time’s tournament would’ve received such honor, I would have gone for it.”
“Huzi, you are really well-known this time. Congratulations.”
“Haha, Old Zhao is really lucky!”
The three major generals hugged and laughed. Then they burst into laughter. In the meantime, the two majors glanced and assessed Qin Fen several times intermittently.
The three majors were seated on the rostrum after simple greetings. The welcome party for the recruits began officially.
The recruits finally realized that the scene was somewhat different from what they imagined. They thought they would appear in a conference hall filled with tens of thousands of soldiers. They would receive flashes and flowers from the reporters, and be appraised by everybody.
They did not expect that there would only be a young female military reporter and two generals that were not seen before in the small auditorium. There were no outsiders, and the scene looked a bit desolated.
“Tsk tsk…” Xue Tian sat in the first row and looked at the crowd behind, “Were you guys disappointed? I predicted this. Don’t forget that we are just recruits, just recruits. We are not the main force of the army. Naturally, we are not able to create the main honor. I heard that in the past, only the major that led us here was the host. This time there are two other majors, which is already something to be proud of. Of course, the bosses above us are still happy. After all, we brought pride to them.”
The recruits nodded and listened, Indeed! The recruits were not the main force of the army, the recruits were definitely not the troops with the highest combat power. Naturally, the recruits would not gain the biggest honor. It was because Qin Fen gained pride, so the military region had deliberately added two major generals to be the hosts.
“Recruits…”
The general sitting on Zhao Huzi’s left side cleared his throat. He picked up the draft for his speech and began to read accordingly. The recruits’ minds immediately entered a state of emptiness. Everyone learned to enter this special state of mind instinctively during the boring assemblies in school.
Perhaps it was because the recruits played well in the recruit tournament. Normally, the military was always concise in their words, as they always strive for efficiency. This time, the speech was much longer than before.
The recruits regained their spirits after the three generals gave their long speech. It was finally the moment to receive awards! Everyone was here to receive their awards, not to listen to the generals reading their speech!
“Lin Jiaxuan, this time you led the Aerial Combat team and won the championship for recruit tournament. Our team had never won in the past. The military region will give you the ranking of first lieutenant as a reward!
First lieutenant? Lin Jiaxuan quickly got up and gave a standard military salute. She sneered silently. A soldier in the air force usually has the first lieutenant rank. If someone else had led the team, then the person would probably have acquired a captain pin.
Zhao Huzi’s handed out the box with the gorget patch of a first lieutenant with a face of dissatisfaction. How could it only be first lieutenant? What are the people above doing? Even though General Lin has not yet been investigated, they should not suppress a child like this!
“Keep it up.” Zhao Huzi spoke in a weak voice.
“Yes! Commanding officer!”
Lin Jiaxuan took the first lieutenant’s pin calmly and left the rostrum quickly.
“Xue Tian…”
“Du Peng…”
“Kyokushin Genichi…”
Since the latter two were still in the hospital, Qin Fen was the representative to receive their rewards.
“Qin Fen…”
All the recruits focused their gaze on him, and people were guessing which pin Qin Fen would receive.
Zhao Huzi opened the letter of appointment and was stunned. His black eyes were showing a baffled expression.
The recruits were aware of the bafflement in Zhao Huzi’s eyes. They were even more curious. What pin would Qin Fen receive? That cause Zhao Huzi to be so surprised? Was it merely a recruit? A Lieutenant? First lieutenant? Perhaps it’s the captain? It couldn’t be the major. That would be too ridiculous.
“Recruit Qin Fen…” Zhao Huzi gave his two colleagues that were next to him a look and said slowly, “Your performance in this recruit tournament was outstanding. You completed the tasks assigned by the military region. In the meantime, you helped other recruits that participated create new records. You are promoted to…”
“Colonel…”
Hiss…
All the recruits took a breath of cool air. The auditorium was so quiet that everyone could hear the echo. No one would have thought that Qin Fen would become a colonel as a recruit. This was not simply breaking the rule to promote him!
It was already unexpected for a recruit that didn’t enter the army for a long time and not graduated from the military academy to be promoted to be a major, let alone a colonel pin. So the bosses in the military region ignored the rules because they were satisfied with all the pride?
“General! I am against it!”
A sudden, clear voice in the hall pierced the ears of the crowd and cut through the silence of the people who had yet to recover from the shock.
Only then did the people realize that the female reporter of the military newspaper, who was always taking pictures, had stood up. She showed a posture of fighting against the black box operation.
Qin Fen couldn’t help to look at the female reporter of the military newspaper. She looked almost about his age. Her jaw-length short hair was clean and neat. Her look was not considered beautiful, just ordinary. Her figure was incomparable to the beautiful women he had met these days. The only thing that was attractive about her was probably her temperament?
The pride that came out of her bones was definitely not the temperament that ordinary families could cultivate. It definitely meant that she grew up in a good environment.
“Objection?”
Zhao Huzi looked up and down at the female reporter. Whose child is this? She had courage! Did she forget her surname? How dare she oppose the order of the military region? Does she think that the army is her democratic society? The army has rules that are unshakable!
“Yes, I am against it!” The female reporter was not afraid of Zhao Huzi’s cold eyes, instead, she stepped forward, “It is correct to give rewards to the recruits that achieved impressive results during the recruit tournaments. However, there was no reason for a recruit that did not contribute and had not entered the military academy to receive a colonel pin. The army should not give privileges to someone based on preference! Some people who had graduated from the military academy only received a first lieutenant pin. Have their efforts in studying for so many years gone to waste?”
Qin Fen laughed. Zhao Huzi smiled even more coldly. Although it was indeed unexpected that Qin Fen received the colonel pin, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t deserve it.
“Studying? You think studying for a long period of time means you can get a pin?” Zhao Huzi’s cold smile turned into disdain. He threw a document in his hand from the rostrum to the reporter, “Look at it yourself!”
The auditorium became quiet once again. There were only sounds of the female reporter flipping the document. Her mediocre-looking face gradually changed to a look of surprise.
Zhao Huzi sat quietly on the big chair. As a general, he didn’t need to explain anything to a little female soldier. But he believed that the female soldier was not the only one that was suspicious, the other recruits sitting there were also the same. Furthermore! This female soldier was a reporter. Although they could stop her from publishing the news forcefully, they couldn’t stop her from making remarks that could attack the military on the internet. That would be a bad influence on Qin Fen.
He went to the State of Korea to kill the terrorist leader…… rescued the apex-level researchers for the nano battle suit on the desert island…… went to Golden Triangle to execute an assassination plan, killed the drug traffickers, disrupted the forces in Golden Triangle so they had to reshuffle…… participated in the recruit tournament…
The female reporter was stunned. She looked up with a pair of unbelievable eyes. This recruit actually… actually did so many meritorious services?
