The Favored Son of Heaven

Flying Hearts was once the most popular girl group on Earth, and the current most popular idols in the entire Federation. Their small bodies blasted out incredible singing energy; their courage after facing consecutive attacks by terrorists, their pure and lovely appearances… these had brought up a Flying Hearts whirlwind in the Federation.

 Other singers were struggling with their concerts and were striving for a satisfactory attendance rate; they thought hard to come up with new tricks to attract people. Flying Hearts, on the other hand, was having struggles with stadiums being too small for their audiences.

 Other singers would always have many empty seats left for an eighty-thousand-seat stadium. However, when Flying Hearts, even if they held their concerts in the Federation’s largest Olympic stadium — which was a mega stadium that could accommodate three hundred thousand people — they would still have a full house. Many fans would hold their banknotes high and stand outside the stadium wanting to buy high-priced scalper tickets.

 However, the scalpers were also humans! For other concerts, the scalpers would sell the tickets without a second thought. However, for Flying Hearts’ concert, the scalpers would also be looking for other scalpers to buy tickets, as they also wanted to go in and listen to it. They didn’t intend to sell at all.

 Fifteen minutes to the ticket sales. There were already long queues in front of the ticketing points in Saturn’s cities. Those queuing in front started to pack up their tents. Judging from the dust on top of their tents, they obviously haven’t only been queuing for ten hours.

 Lin Liqiang looked at the super long queue in front of them, then he looked at Qin Fen and sighed, “It seems that we have to queue for a long time, and we will not necessarily get the tickets.”

 Qin Fen looked at Lin Liqiang’s fake disappointed expression. He could only return with a bitter smile and nod cooperatively.

 As one of Qin Fen’s best friends, how could Lin Liqiang not know the relationship between Flying Hearts and Qin Fen? Qin Fen looked at Lin Liqiang’s attitude. He even suspected that his old friend came to Saturn with the real purpose of listening to the Flying Hearts concert; meeting him was a second priority.

 “Old Qin! It’s time for you to play the charm!” Lin Liqiang put on a look like he was entrusting his son to Qin Fen, and his hand slapped Qin Fen on the shoulder, “Although you are close to them, it doesn’t need to be too high-profile. First row seats are not something for us. I think it would be nice if we could have a few VIP seats in a low-key way. I believe you can do it.”

 Qin Fen looked up at the huge stadium located not far away. The policemen stood around holding loaded guns, and a few dozens of City Guardian police mobile armors patrolled back and forth. The security was a dozen times stronger than the concert in Tianbei City that day.

 If there was anyone in the world who didn’t like listening to the Flying Hearts, then they must be in the Federation’s police force.

 With the growing popularity of Flying Hearts, the threat of terrorism was constantly rising too, along with their ever-changing dirty tricks. It was getting more and more difficult for the police to safeguard them, and the number of injured people in each concert was constantly increasing as well.

 Some people even joked that Flying Hearts should just simply call a group of special forces soldiers to defend them when they hold concerts in the future. It was troublesome for the special forces to search for terrorists; they wouldn’t have to worry about not finding terrorists as long as they followed Flying Hearts.

 People were free to say anything, but if they really did it that way, the Federation police system should just collectively resign. If they couldn’t even protect the taxpayers when they were receiving taxpayers’ money, then what was the use of the police?

 “Saturn’s police system is good.” Lin Liqiang looked at the undercover police walking among the crowd and nodded a few times, “Fourteen-star class, they are just one step away from martial dao masters. These people should be Flying Tigers’ team’s commanding officers?”

 Qin Fen took a good look at those undercover police. Fourteen-star policemen were not easily spotted, and they were very rare, especially on Earth. In contrast, Saturn, which had the worst public safety and no divine beasts martial artist, really needed a stronger police force to take charge here.

 “Oh?” Lin Liqiang rubbed his eyes and stared at the corner of the crowd, “Am I looking at the wrong thing? The people of Elysium and Inferno are not fighting with each other as they meet? Flying Hearts is actually lit!”

 Qin Fen clicked his tongue in agreement. Flying Hearts was an anti-terrorism and at the same time, an anti-war group to some extent. Being the Federation’s most popular group now, they could be said to have the greatest public support. Plus they were at the top in terms of morality, and so even Elysium and Inferno considered the public opinion.

 This group was so popular that it could temporarily stop two major organizations from attacking each other, making them send their personnel to the stadium for security work; Flying Hearts was indeed the number-one idol in the world!

 “No wonder people make jokes that if these two little girls were to run for president… heng heng…” Lin Liqiang smirked, “I guess the current Mr. President would immediately faint on the spot if he heard about such news.”

 

Qin Fen smiled. Although the jokes were exaggerated, they were accurate in showing their popularity today. Otherwise, Elysium and Inferno wouldn’t have sent their personnel to take charge of security issues. It would be an honor for organizations like Elysium and Inferno to take charge of Flying Hearts’ security issues even just once.

 While three of them were chatting, several policemen already had their hands on their gun handles in their holsters as they approached Qin Fen. At the same time, there were two City Guardian mobile armors and two snipers on the distant rooftop also targeting the three of them as they were talking and laughing.

 Qin Fen raised his eyebrows and looked at the top of the stadium, which was the hiding position for the two snipers. He gently raised his thumb and slightly rotated his finger a few times. That was a special secret sign for snipers to contact each other.

 The snipers hiding above the stadium were stunned. Through their optic rifle scopes, they found that the man they were targetting had looked towards their direction. The calmness of his moves; he moved with ease, even when he knew that he was being locked on as a target and could be shot by the snipers at any time.

 “Who is this guy?”

 The two snipers were stunned, watching Qin Fen’s index finger draw a few circles in the air. He then opened his five fingers to clench them into a fist, and then, he raised his index finger.

 The two snipers saw Qin Fen’s gestures clearly, even more surprised. One of the Federation’s current top five snipers? Is this young man joking? Or is he being serious?

 “You! You three stand there and don’t move!”

 A policeman held the gun that could kill ordinary people with both hands, aiming carefully at Qin Fen in the crowd and shouted, “Put your hands over your head and squat down slowly! Please cooperate with us!”

 Qin Fen sighed. It seems that these two little girls from Flying Hearts must really be having a hard time with their concerts these days. Otherwise, why would these policemen be this sensitive? They pulled out the gun so easily…

 Ka ka…

 The snipers above the stadium did their final preparation at the same time. Qin Fen looked up at the snipers above and smiled.

 This smile gave the two snipers a feeling like a prey asking if they had the confidence to hit him.

 Elysium and Inferno’s martial artists had noticed the situation at that time. Before they could act, two fourteen-star quasi-martial dao masters stopped them and walked towards Qin Fen.

 Qin Fen looked at these serious and responsible policemen and bowed to them, “Thank you.”

 The policemen were stunned. What is this person doing? Why is his first word ‘thank you’? What is he thanking us for?

 “Can I please meet Ya Xin and Ya Fei?” Qin Fen said to the two quasi-martial dao masters who walked towards him, “I am their friend.”

 The two undercover police who were quasi-martial dao masters couldn’t help but looked at Lin Liqiang, surprised. This handsome, smiling young man is an expert who was above a martial dao master! How old is he? Who is he? How can it be possible that we can’t feel any martial dao aura at all from the other two of them? The Federation’s population nowadays usually learns the Federation’s free martial arts in order to prolong their lives, right? Furthermore, all the young men love martial arts! Can it be…

 Rumors had it that martial artists who had entered the martial dao master’s realm could choose to hide their own aura if they didn’t wish to be recognized by others who were not martial dao masters. This method could only be seen through by other martial dao masters, non-masters had no chance of seeing through it.

 Are these two men also martial dao masters? Otherwise, they wouldn’t be qualified to stand beside this smiling man, right? How old are they? Are they all martial dao masters? Who are they?

 At that instant, both of the undercover police who were quasi-martial dao masters subconsciously took half a step back at the same time, staring nervously at Qin Fen and replied, “Mister, it’s our duties. Sorry…”

 Fourteen-star martial art strength was being boosted intensely. Qin Fen was surprised to find that one of them had actually reached the fourth-level true energy oscillation. He was only one step away from becoming the Nirvana Marrow Transformation Great Inborn. Perhaps he could really enter the martial dao master’s realm in this life.

 

“Are you interested in taking a punch from me?” Qin Fen looked calmly at the square-faced, stout undercover police, “As for Ya Fei and Ya Xin, I will call them later. Is that okay?”

 The square-faced undercover stunned for a moment, then his eyes quickly flashed with a happy expression. This young man seems to have no strength at all, but he asked me to take his punch. This obviously shows that he might really have a martial dao master’s strength.

 Although the Nirvana Marrow Transformation couldn’t be fully taught, he would obviously be inspired if he could take one punch from a martial dao master. Maybe there was actually a chance for him to enter the martial dao master’s realm.

 Martial dao master’s realm was the realm dreamt by any fourteen-star quasi-martial dao master! Moreover, if he could enter the martial dao master’s realm, he could do really well in the police world in the future by just relying on his strength.

 The positions he could take in the police world as a martial dao master would be completely different than what he was taking now as a quasi-martial dao master! For a police officer with a good track record and served the police force for many years, he could have a very bright future.

 In order to increase the chance for a breakthrough, many quasi-martial dao masters would even spend a fortune to hire martial dao masters to punch them. However, martial dao masters rarely did that. Moreover, usually, martial dao masters were rarely seen, so they couldn’t necessarily buy themselves a punch even if they had the money.

 Qin Fen looked at the other quasi-martial dao master, who was also eager to try, and shook his head gently, “Your true energy oscillation is only at the third level. You have to improve yourself, and you may contact me when you reach the fourth-level true energy oscillation. Even if I don’t show up, I will find someone to give you a punch.”

 The eager quasi-martial dao master looked quite disappointed, but there was still a lot of joy in his eyes. Although he couldn’t take the punch this time, martial dao masters always kept their promises; he would most certainly fulfill the promise that he had made!

 “So… are you ready?”

 “En! I am ready.”

 Qin Fen gripped the ground with all his toes, spread his legs with knees slightly bent, and stood with his elbows paralleled with his knees, as if no force could move him.

 With his body standing still, Qin Fen’s right foot slightly lifted off the ground less than half an inch, and suddenly stomped on the ground! The precise radius of ten meters of land was shaken violently. Several policemen armed with guns felt like there were monsters under the ground that would rush out and flip them over. Qin Fen’s hands were in front of his chest, and with his back muscles shaking, he thrust his shoulder and right arm forward. Eight Extreme Fists Sky-Piercing Standing Cannon!

 The stout policeman was stunned when he saw Qin Fen’s movements. He knows that I’m practicing the Eight Extreme Fists? Not only does this young man have strong true energy and strength, he also perfectly demonstrated the essence of Eight Extreme Fists. The essence of this move was to collapse, shake, and suddenly assault!

 Sky-Piercing Standing Cannon: collapse – as if collapsing a mountain; shake – as if shaking a mountain; sudden assault – to be precise and straightforward. The strike should perfectly connect six parts of the body – shoulder, elbow, fist, hips, legs, and fist, with strength like a breaking longbow, his expression synced with his movement, and speed as fast as lightning!

 It’s perfect! The middle-aged police had never seen an Eight Extreme Fists master who could execute the Sky-Piercing Standing Cannon to such a level.

 Even if he didn’t take this punch, with just one look at it, his martial dao could still benefit a lot from it.

 The middle-aged martial artist’s muscles and tendons in his arms resonated loudly, his Great Energy Art flowed through his body, as if turning the body into a steel plate. His arms slammed down to execute the Left-Right Forced Open Gate style, countering the Sky-Piercing Standing Cannon that was flying through the air towards him.

 The collision between two firm and fierce forces gave out the sound of muscles colliding. At that moment, the cement ground cracked. The middle-aged martial artist’s bulky muscles in his arms had returned to its original form, and his steel-like body muscles temporarily disappeared. He lost his foot’s grip on the ground and flew out backward.

 The two martial artists from Elysium and Inferno looked at this clearly from afar, and they jumped into the air trying to catch that man. Their bodies were shaken as their hands went into contact with his back and fell backward, as if they were hammered in the chests.

 Peng peng peng…

 The middle-aged man landed and took thirty-five steps backward. Each of his steps stomped and broke the cement floor beneath his feet. Besides surprise and disbelief, his eyes were also filled with joy. This punch could be the key to unlocking his martial dao which hadn’t taken even a half-step forward for many years!

 The middle-aged undercover police did a fist-holding salute, bowed to Qin Fen, and said, “No words can express my gratitude. How should I address you?”

 “Qin Fen…”
