The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 63: A Bet Between the Top Ten

Translator: Strivon Editor: Strivon

Qin Fen turned off the system aid and raised his head to look off not too far into the distance. As a person who was in the top three, naturally people would come knocking on his doorstop.

A distance of five hundred meters wasn’t a distance that used up much strength for a three-star warrior whose body overflowed with strength.

Leopard Head? Qin Fen saw the name of this opponent. He was quite surprised. The person who came knocking on his doorstep was actually the person in tenth place.

He watched Leopard Head move like a dragon and take steps like a tiger. Leopard Head’s tall and sturdy build was akin to being forged from steel. The dark skin of Leopard Head’s mouth opened, revealing spotlessly white teeth that were extremely eye-catching. The corner of Qin Fen’s mouth twitched twice as he saw it was the Steel War Body! Yet another neo martial artist of the Steel War Body! And the man was black!

Of the fifty or so people that Qin Fen defeated, a total of six of them utilized the neo martial art that was the Steel War Body. The Extreme Titanium Body was one of the peak neo martial arts of high-end martial arts in modern times. This resulted in quite a few people walking the path for this martial art. Those in this martial school often came from families with money; it wasn’t easy to buy the neo martial art that was the Steel War Body.

Of course, quite a few people ended up being stuck in the realm of the Steel War Body for their life time. This wasn’t because they lacked the money to buy the higher level martial art; it was merely because they found it impossible to continue to make progress on this path.

For encouragement, the Federation created the Sacred Martial Hall. Once someone reached a certain level, they were able to enter it. There, everything was free!

It wasn’t easy to enter the Sacred Martial Hall. One had to go through all sorts of tests in order to gain the opportunity to enter this place that countless people dreamed of.

“I’m different from the other cultivators of the Steel War Body.” Leopard Head didn’t rush to go on the offensive. Instead, he slowly introduced himself, “I’m not really interested in the title of War God. I just want to engage in pure battle, that’s all. So call out your companions!”

“Companions?” Qin Fen shook his head, “I have no companions.”

A wrinkle of shock was revealed on Leopard Head’s square face. Those who placed in the top ten of the War God Arena often were able to do so by forming small teams. Needless to say, it was far too difficult to enter the top three solo.

Leopard Head studied Qin Fen’s whose facial appearance was altered by the system. Only those two eyes revealed his true face, and soon Leopard Head believed in Qin Fen’s words. At the same time, he was secretly shocked to himself. He thought he was the only soloer in the top ten. He never thought that there was yet another soloer, and one that ranked even higher than him!

The feeling of superiority that Leopard Head possessed when he just appeared before Qin Fen had already faded without a trace in this moment.

It was already hard enough to enter the top ten solo. Entering the top three solo was something that was practically impossible. One person had won against fifty or so three-star warriors. Very few of even the most apex of three-star warriors could do this. Just how much strength was exhausted in the process? Even if all his attacks killed in one hit, the instantaneous burst of energy had to be considerable in order to defeat the opponent.

“Excellent!” Leopard Head laughed, “I never expected to choose such an excellent opponent. Then, come!”

“Let’s wait a moment.” Qin Fen raised a hand to indicate a location behind Leopard Head. “Four people are coming from over there. I don’t know if they’re looking for you or if they’re looking for me.”

“Oh?” Leopard Head retracted his attack stance. The people in the top one hundred were the only ones able to lock onto Qin Fen’s position and be teleported here.

“Interested in making a bet, Leopard Head?”

Qin Fen suddenly spoke, causing Leopard Head a hint of suspicion, “Bet on what?”

“There are four of them. We can each choose two of them to be our opponents. Whoever defeats their opponents first wins!” Qin Fen slowly said, “If you win, I’ll stand motionless and let you kill me. If I win....”

“Then I’ll stand still and let you kill me!” Leopard Head’s eyes pulsed with excitement. “However, regardless of who wins between us, we need to have a fair fight after the War God Arena is over!”

“Okay!” Qin Fen agreed very quickly. The Leopard Head before his eyes was no weakling. Fighting him one-on-one would require the exchange of several moves to determine the outcome. No matter who wins or loses in the end, everyone would have used up far more strength than they would have liked. It would be far too difficult to fight with other experts afterwards and get first place in terms of score!

Making a bet was undoubtedly the best method to resolve this strength issue.

After the bet was made and confirmed, neither of the two dared to be negligent. Their legs burst with terrifying strength at practically the same time, and they went pouncing straight at the four people situated not too far away.

The four people who had hurried over never expected that the side with fewer numbers would actually take the initiative to attack.

Qin Fen’s and Leopard Head moved very quickly. In a dozen or so steps, they arrived right before the four. Leopard Head roared in excitement, “Let’s see whose faster!”

As the words exploded in the enemies’ ears, Qin Fen calf suddenly expanded by a factor, as if inflated with air. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art’s powerful drive turned him into a human cannonball. It took just a moment for him to cross a distance of nearly ten meters with a single step, leaving him standing right before one of the four.

This one step might not have been the absolute limit of a three-star expert, but his speed was far greater than that of a typical three-star expert. His body pieced through the air, letting out popping sounds, as he moved no slower than Leopard Head’s roared words.

The virtual ground was recalculated, revealing that Qin Fen left a deep footprint in the place he stepped out from. The strength of this step heaved up dust around the footprint, and before the dust could settle, the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Striking the Tiger’s Momentum came smashing downward with ferocity like a battle-axe! The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art coursed through Qin Fen’s arm, and the air exploded with a bang! Qin Fen’s arm that was unleashing the Striking the Tiger’s Momentum expanded by a factor. This didn’t look like any human arm; this was totally an iron hammer!

The target of the attack’s pupils contracted at the utmost speed. They shrunk to the size of needle tips in an instant!

The opponent didn’t even have the time to think nor feel shock. He relied completely on his instincts as a martial artist and raised both arms crossed above his head. He wanted to first block this thunderous strike!

Boom! Snap!

It was impossible for defenses made in a hurry to block Qin Fen’s explosive strike! Qin Fen had instantly heightened his combat power to the limit. Qin Fen had been researching how to gather his power into an explosive point within his body, and he had chatted with Butcher during their few spars. This increased his understanding considerably.

Without an iota of time for suspense, Striking the Tiger’s Momentum simply killed a person completely and thoroughly!

The thought of shock flashed in the minds of the other three. They instantly covered their entire bodies with combat power, and with a sway of their bodies, they put in their all as they pounced upon Qin Fen using both fists and legs!

The three people’s cooperation wasn’t on the level of tacit understanding, but they were all three-star warriors, and it was a three against one! There naturally existed a very terrifying pressure!

Qin Fen didn’t even spare a glance at the person furthest away from him. He sucked in his stomach, retracted his head, and depressed his neck. His body visually appeared to suddenly shrink by a factor, while his arms stretched out in a manner that was completely counter to the shrinking of his body. The arms were monstrously long! He appeared just like a crayfish of a river attacking a prey. The arms, which just restored to their normal state, suddenly expanded explosively once more, and Qin Fen’s body shot out like a bullet.

Shock flashed once again in the eyes of the three-star experts. Qin Fen’s monstrous two arms were shocking, but what made them really shocked was where Qin Fen attacked! It was the weakest points of their own attacks!

In the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint, it was possible to see Qin Fen’s one attack pierce through the holes with absolute accuracy. What terrifying martial senses! It was even more terrifying then the strength he had displayed a moment earlier!

In a fight among experts of the same level, the factors for winning were strength, martial senses, and momentum! This one move by Qin Fen had seized all of these factors completely!

Two pressing palms shattered two people’s arms, forcefully breaking their balance as well! Qin Fen would never let this chance escape! Treading the Mountains!
