The Favored Son Of Heaven

Chapter 242: Searching for the the Soul in the Kicks and Punches

Okamoto Takes.h.i.+!

Being possessed by the golisopod, he became a powerful recruit. He moved slowly on all four limbs like a huge gorilla.

The instant he saw Qin Fen, Okamoto Takes.h.i.+’s pair of gloomy and dark eyes suddenly burst with spirit and vigor. The veins on the forehead became visible and fierce expression spread across his entire face.

Due to the golisopod possession, a major part of his consciousness was lost. However, the deep vengeful spirit within him didn’t change or waver at all.

It recognized Qin Fen, the man who repelled him not long ago!

Okamoto Takes.h.i.+ released a loud roar, swinging his resentment-filled arms on the ground. The trees around him tumbled and fell to the ground.

“What a strong resilience.”

Qin Fen quietly took a breath of cool air, transcing himself into a beast-like resilience. Yet it still didn’t come close to the golisopod’s resilience. Qin Fen was determined to discuss the golisopod matter with Chen Fei Yu in the near future.

Okamoto Takes.h.i.+ writhed his huge head and began to search around. He didn’t any of the several other opponents who fought together at the time, and his vein-filled ferocious face showed an odd smile.

A smile.

Since the golisopod appeared, this was the first time that it showed a clear expression.

Qin Fen frowned slightly and said to himself, “Are you laughing? You think you can defeat me, so you are laughing now? If it’s just the two of us, I really want to fight with you myself. Perhaps, through a spar with you, I can improve my ranking with regard to strength in actual battles. Unfortunately, this is not a paradise, but a blood-l.u.s.t battlefield …”

The jet-black gun hole of Thunderstorm was directed at Okamoto Takes.h.i.+. The top of the barrel reflected the sunlight that peeked through the dense jungle and danced softly on the surface of the barrel.

Being able to fight the strong was always beneficial. Qin Fen looked at Okamoto Takes.h.i.+ with little regrets. Such a good opponent, yet there isn’t a chance to really ignore everything and have a good spar.

The trigger slightly moved back a few times, forming a tornado made of metal steel sheets. With a loud roar like millions of bee colony moving, the dazzling metal piece rotating under the control of the trigger had instantly engulfed Okamoto Takes.h.i.+.

Okamoto Takes.h.i.+, which could compete with real eight-star martial artists, could not possibly be penetrated by an ordinary pistol bullet. In the face of Thunderstorm, however, he was as fragile as a freshly baked cake. He was instantly torn into countless pieces by the metal tornado.

Qin Fen silently looked at the position where Okamoto Takes.h.i.+ stood not long ago. The demon-like monster disappeared completely. Even the trees that once formed a forest behind him were gone, forming a b.l.o.o.d.y pathway in between the trees.

Qin Fen stroked Thunderstorm gently. Qin Fen was once again shocked by the power of the weapon in his hand.

The almost invincible Okamoto Takes.h.i.+ in this area had become so fragile in front of Thunderstorm.

“Not everyone is talented in practicing martial arts. Furthermore, practicing it to the extent of developing the martial art to its extreme…” Qin Fen once again remembered Gun King’s words, “The gun used to be the king of murder, even in this era where martial arts is dominating. It will not completely withdraw from the historical stage!”

Upon the sight of Okamoto Takes.h.i.+ who disappeared instantly, Qin Fen became more and more aware of Gun King’s words.

“In this world, there are not only geniuses in practicing martial arts, but there are also geniuses of manufacturing firearms! Martial arts can continue to improve. The development of firearms can be the same. If ordinary pistols cannot penetrate the body of martial artists, then stronger firearms will be developed until it is possible to accomplish it.”

Hurriedly, Qin Fen came back to his senses. He reloaded a new magazine and quickly flew to the cave.

In this area, there were no golisopods as fearsome as Okamoto Takes.h.i.+. With a Thunderstorm that could be launched at any time, golisopod was no longer the overlord.

Going back to the cave, he saw that the camouflage on the cave remained intact. Various kinds of plants growing together not only played a big distraction visually, it worked synergistically with the smell produced — it could also cover up the smell of the people behind it. Even for a police dog with a sensitive sense of smell, it would be difficult to detect if there were any humans in the cave.

Qin Fen carefully removed the cover. There were no hostile monsters that flew out of the cave. Only a few dozen of eyes that stared at him curiously.

Until this moment, Qin Fen hadn’t been sure that the cave was completely safe. It wasn’t set up by golisopods with their traps that had been disarmed earlier.

“Old Qin, that was fast.” With his impatient temper, Deng Biao couldn’t resist and asked, “Are you being forced to retreat by the monster outside?”

“Okamoto Takes.h.i.+ is dead. There are two dead among the three heroes of West Asia.” Qin Fen waved to the crowd to tell them to walk out of the cave, “There are about five hundred monsters dead.”

Yang Jiwu, who was awakened from the short coma, looked at Qin Fen, whose body was covered with blood. According to the information provided by everyone, Qin Fen’s departure time was about twenty-four hours at best. Even with Thunderstorm in his hand, the result was indeed amazing.

“Strong!” Du Peng raised his thumb and Deng Biao followed by asking, “How did you do it? Even if there was Thunderstorm…”

“I killed nearly a hundred monsters and placed their bodies together. The thick stench of the blood attracted more than three hundred monsters. After I defeated them, they attracted more reinforcements. In between, nearly a hundred monsters joined in.” Qin Fen drew a line on his chest, “Taunting them to line up in a row. It was finished with only one shot in an open s.p.a.ce.”

Everyone who listened was drenched in cold sweat. Although it sounded simple, this required unparalleled valor and precise judgment. In the face of three hundred martial artists, martial artists of the level of Qin Fen or higher, if placed in a surrounded entanglement, the possibility of even just wanting to break out was extremely low.

Ultimately, the outcome would be a complete dismemberment by the golisopod group.

“Let us get out of here first.” Qin Fen said, looking up towards the direction of the big troops, “There are still many parasites hidden here. We don’t know how much exactly. We should go back to the starting point as soon as possible and contact the upper management to send more skillful troops, which I think would be the right thing to do.”

The recruits immediately nodded, no one wanted to stay in this place filled with killing intent and dangerous aura. It was best to leave here early.

Qin Fen removed the energy device that had not been used up by the Thunderstorm, replaced it with a fully-loaded energy device, and carefully walked in front of the squad.

Back at the location of the buried signal transmitter, Qin Fen found a nearby shovel and quickly dug out the buried transmitter.

Yang Jiwu’s eyes stared at Qin Fen’s back in confusion. The situation had escalated until this point, yet he still remembered the location of the buried signal transmitter and the confrontation exercise. He was indeed an excellent recruit.

After a few days of careful marching forward while carrying and using the transmitter, there was still no form of communication with the seasoned soldiers from the main base located in East Asia.

Being unable to contact the initial starting point, everyone’s mind became covered with a thick dark cloud. The recruits were secretly guessing what had happened. Are those monsters also raiding the starting point? There are places where seasoned soldiers are in charge…

Three days later, under the leaders.h.i.+p of Qin Fen, everyone had finally returned to the initial starting point.

The once glorified place was now full of distraught. The bodies of more than a dozen seasoned soldiers had already begun to rot and stink.

Death was inevitable, not only on the recruits, but also on the seasoned soldier who came together.

Qin Fen hurriedly examined the body of the seasoned soldier and sighed softly.

These same seasoned soldiers weren’t special soldiers, but only old soldiers with a longer military service. Their strength was incomparable to that of special military personnel. The average of these people was only five star-cla.s.s at most.

Without carrying any live ammunition or weapons, and without any tyrannical martial arts for self-defense, the death of these old soldiers was not a surprise for Qin Fen.

There was no army around. Everything in this vantage point was completely destroyed. It was impossible to leave quickly, and there wasn’t much food and supplies.

What a disaster!

The recruits were sharing the same thoughts at the same time.

Qin Fen looked up at the sky. Is it possible that the military has not contacted this place these days?

Yang Jiwu, who was barely recovered, wriggled his weak body into the ruins and stared at the pile of machinery that wasn’t destroyed in front of him.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the only machine that hadn’t been damaged was a machine that automatically sends a safety signal to the military region. If the b.u.t.ton on this machine was pressed, perhaps a large number of soldiers armed with good weapons would have already arrived.

Qin Fen circled around the center of the vantage point for a few laps. He reached out to pull a toolbox from under the base of an airplane.

Soon, the gla.s.s in front of a plane was removed by Qin Fen. Under the suspicious gaze of the crowd, he mounted the dismantled winds.h.i.+eld on another plane that had its gla.s.s broken.

“Are you repairing the plane?” Yang Jiwu looked at Qin Fen in surprise and thought, “Based on the information, he is an infantry…”

At the center of the big area, Qin Fen was quietly occupying himself with work. From time to time, he would remove several weird parts from other planes and install them on the plane he was working on.

Deng Biao couldn’t help with his curiously and went forward, “Old Qin, is it possible that you are able to repair the plane?”

Qin Fen stopped his work and shook his head, “It’s just a theory, I’m just trying.”

Lin Jiaxuan stood at the side and stared at Qin Fen with envious light in her eyes. Those who were chosen by Captain Trash, even if they only trained a short amount of time, would learn a lot. Even if he didn’t really know the method to repair the plane, by replacing the parts that should be replaced, this could be actually possible.

Yang Jiwu did not press the b.u.t.ton to request reinforcements. The communication equipment here was broken. G.o.d knows what kind of team the military send after receiving the distress signal. If the team sent out wasn’t strong enough, it would only bring harm to those soldiers who come to the rescue.

Qin Fen kept himself busy until noon. He paused his work for a moment as he approached Lin Jiaxuan and said, “Do you know how to fly a plane?”

Lin Jiaxuan looked at Qin Fen, stunned. How could Captain Trash’s disciple ask someone if they are able to fly a plane?

Lin Jiaxuan nodded mechanically. She went to the c.o.c.kpit and skillfully operated the b.u.t.tons and instruments on the control panel.

The helicopter propeller, which had been silent for a long time, made a rumbling roar. It picked up dust, causing a cough-stimulating and throat-disturbing surrounding.

Yang Jiwu’s weak body was shocked. His eyes beamed with amazement. He stared at Qin Fen intently.

A volunteer recruit actually repaired a plane. Although it was only replacing existing parts, many full-time Air Forces weren’t necessarily able to do so.

The recruits began to enter the pa.s.senger compartment cabin, and even Yang Jiwu managed to enter the cabin with the help of the others.

Soon, only Qin Fen was left outside the plane, standing quietly at the vantage point, without the slightest intent to enter into the cabin.

Deng Biao jumped out of the cabin, came to Qin Fen and shouted under the rumbling rotor, “Old Qin, why aren’t you boarding?”

“You guys should go on ahead.” Qin Fen patted Deng Biao’s shoulder. He lifted his finger towards the majestic mountains and proclaimed, “I will walk back with both my feet!”

“Walk back?” Deng Biao suspected that the noise plane was too loud and that he misunderstood. Deng Biao shouted loudly back at Qin Fen, “What are you talking about?”

“I!” Qin Fen pointed to himself, then pointed to the hills, “I will walk back! I can make it before the Recruits Tournament!”

Du Peng also stepped off the plane. At this moment Lin Jiaxuan turned off the propeller that had just ignited, and the rumble of the propeller quickly weakened.

“Are you not leaving?”

“You guys go on ahead. I want to walk back.”

Qin Fen looked up towards the endless mountains with his fists clenched together unconsciously.

“Walk back?” Du Peng turned back and looked at the mountains Qin Fen was overlooking for a few seconds silently, and his eyes gradually became clear.

Du Peng patted Qin Fen’s shoulder and used his fingers to clasp the Qin Fen’s thick tiger-like shoulder tightly, “Take care. I’m sure that you will be reborn when we meet next time.”

Qin Fen patted the back Du Peng’s hands, “You too. I hope you have all received the treasure chest the next time we meet.”

“Yeah.”

The palms of the two men slapped together, caused a thunderous clap, followed by a tight grasp.

Du Peng whispered, “I am very envious. If my treasure is complete by this time, how good it will be. Let’s go with the baptism from martial arts.”

“There will be a chance.” Qin Fen said with a smile, “When we finish the Recruit Tournament, we find a time to travel.”

“Don’t forget to bring me along!” Xue Tian shouted at the door of the cabin, “I won’t join this awkward scene this time. I also don’t know how dangerous it is here, so I won’t join this time and drag you down. We will do it together next time.”

Qin Fen glanced at Xue Tian, while Chen Feiyu gently shook his clenched fist.

Lin Jiaxuan looked at Qin Fen intricately and once again ignited the helicopter’s propeller.

This time, the hatch slowly closed under the watchful eyes of Qin Fen. The high-speed rotation of the propeller, with the thick smoke rising from the sky, looked like a khaki-colored dragon between the heavens and the earth.

The helicopter in the sky kept getting smaller and smaller until it finally became a black spot in the blue sky.

Qin Fen once again looked at the mountains that resembled a sleeping dragon’s body and walked towards it.

Since joining the army, Qin Fen had been practicing hard all the time. His improvement was extremely tremendous, but this wasn’t what he wanted.

The journey of martial arts doesn’t only involve closed-door training or finding a strong master so that you can become a master.

In addition to training hard, you also need to achieve a sentiment. The path of being a legend, challenging all the young skilled masters everywhere, is also a sentiment to be sought in battle.

To conquer this endless mountain is also a kind of sentiment! Qin Fen wanted to walk through the vast mountains, using his body to feel the power and soul of nature, his spirit to feel this majestic aura, as a form of exercise to the soul in his fist that was yet to be formed completely.
