The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 23: Invincible Among Two-Stars

Translator: Strivon Editor: Nora

“One Must Be Low Key!” Glowing Child of the Wind suddenly raised his voice, looking towards the spectator seats. “Are you interested in swapping pointers with this friend?”

One Must Be Low Key? The spectators became shocked once again. This was the number one expert in terms of battle records ranking in the top two-hundred! He actually came to watch this fight as well!

Everyone looked in the direction where Glowing Child of the Wind was pointing. One Must Be Low Key sat in his spectator seat as if nothing happened. He chose the function that hid his facial features. Nobody knew what he really looked like.

“No.” One Must Be Low Key gently shook his head, “I can’t beat him.”

The situation in the combat field was akin to a nuclear warhead detonating the moment these words were spoken. The crowd exploded once more! The person with the best battle record of the powerful two-star warriors had actually announced that he wasn’t Thirty-Six Hours’s match in public! This was far too shocking! Could it be? Was he saying that this newcomer, who only had four victories and zero losses for his battle record, had become the invincible among two-stars?

A lot of people were beginning to regret how they forgot the record the fight between Thirty-Six Hours and Glowing Child of the Wind.

“I just made a breakthrough today and reached three-star strength. Can I still participate in the two-star labyrinth arena and fight for the title of War God?” Qin Fen suddenly thought of this important question.

“Three-star?”

Glowing Child of the Wind’s shock surpassed that every everyone else here. Suppressing three-star strength to two-star strength in order to fight with other two-stars wasn’t that advantageous as a layman might expect. It was the opposite! Three-star martial artists possessed sharper sight than two-star martial artists, allowing them to discover their opponent’s weak points easier and then attack.

However, the suppression of three-star strength would lead to the body unable to keep up with the eyes and the ability to judge. It was a lack of coordination. Such a suppression of strength would affect the situation and lead to a loss, unless the three-star expert stops suppressing his strength and explodes with three-star power to defeat his opponent during the critical moment.

A martial artist who recently ascended to the three-star level would have the problem of an uncoordinated body be even more of an issue! Thirty-Six Hours was actually completely affected. This made Glowing Child of the Wind shocked.

“You can, but you can only use two-star strength.”

“Oh, okay.” Qin Fen thought for a moment before saying, “Then next time I’ll go check out the place where they fight for the two-star War God title.”

The news of One Must Be Low Key acknowledging Qin Fen spread wildly in the two-star battle area a few minutes after it happened. Soon, Qin Fen received so many challenge messages in a short minute that his inbox was about to explode from the volume of messages.

Glowing Child of the Wind was able to make a general guess to what happened when he saw Qin Fen’s shocked expression, “You quickly became famous. Of course there are some costs. Think about it. Now there are a lot of people who want to beat you, to prove that they are stronger than One Must Be Low Key.”

“Is that so,” Qin Fen fiddled with the system to delete all the messages just now, yet his inbox became cram packed once again in the blink of an eye. The two-star strength level was an enormous community. There were many middle-aged people still at two-star strength. The only community that could match the two-star community in size was the one-star community.

“Is there a way to let the entire two-star community know the conditions for challenging me?” Qin Fen thought for a bit, but he still asked Glowing Child of the Wind. The free area didn’t have this function, as far as he was aware of.

“Take a hundred dollars and issue an advertisement.” Glowing Child of the Wind and Qin Fen already walked to the viewing stand, “Some people will be able to see it this way. After the news spreads, soon everyone will know. If you want it to spread faster, than you can take ten-thousand dollars and buy a ten second system-wide advertisement. The entirety of the two-star area will be able to see it.”

“Ten-thousand dollars?” Qin Fen smirked, “I’ll go with a hundred dollars.”

Qin Fen took out a hundred dollars with heartache. He followed Glowing Child of the Wind’s guidance and issued an advertisement: I, Qin Fen, ask the challenger to prepare a hundred dollars as a challenge fee. Otherwise, I won’t accept the challenge. Note. Higher sums will receive preferential treatment.

After issuing the advertisement, Qin Fen gave Glowing Child of the Wind a gesture of goodbye as he logged out from the Sky Martial Battle Network.

The release of this advertisement immediately drew the ridicule of quite a few people!

“This is way too arrogant! Who does he think he is? Does he think he’s One Must Be Low Key? The ten-time champion of War God?”

“Shameless! He doesn’t have a martial artist’s honor at all!”

“Has he gone crazy from being poor? A hundred dollars for a spar?”

All sorts of words flooded the community when the advertisement was seen. They were mostly ridicule and scorn from people who had sought a quick rise to fame. Yet, there were also some people who truly did send another challenge to Qin Fen. A hundred dollars to become famous was good value!

Qin Fen had logged off, so he didn’t know. His inbox was crammed packed with challenge messages once more.

Upon logging off the Sky Martial Battle Network, Qin Fen recalled the fight that occurred a moment earlier. He turned back on his desktop computer and browsed information pertaining to the military. He didn’t know that a large volume of posts regarding himself had appeared on the two-star forums of the Sky Martial Battle Network.

Aside from a portion of posts discussing the video of the fight, many posts were of discontent over the challenger fee that Qin Fen announced. Some people even expressed that they would seek out Thirty-Six Hours’s residence and bring some people to blow up his place, to vent their anger.

Well regardless of what anyone might say, Qin Fen was now famous! His fight with Glowing Child of the Wind along with the recognition he received from One Must Be Low Key, the number one expert of two-stars in terms of battle record, easily caused Qin Fen to become a famous man.

Of course, Qin Fen’s fame was limited to merely the two-star block. And since his rise of fame wasn’t from the worship of others, there were far too many people wishing to challenge him.

Worship Why would one want to worship a two-star powerhouse? If one wants to worship someone, they should worship an apex-level powerhouse. For example, one of the apex-level powerhouses in paleo martial arts on Earth, Song Wendong. Someone like him would be truly deserving of worship.

Within a luxurious large room, someone had also logged out from the Sky Martial Battle Network.

“Who in the world is the man called Thirty-Six Hours? To be able to defeat me in a single move? Is he a descendant of the the Song Family, the family of the Earth Martial God?” A young man’s brow furrowed tight. His fingers rapped against his desk without any rhythm. “The current him is much stronger than the previous him. It appears that I underestimated him too much, fighting him with pre-calculated strength. Next time I will go all out in fighting him.”

“Young Master Yu, the master has called you over, sir,” the door opened, and a venerable buttler stood quietly by the door.

“Oh, copy that.” Chen Yu was Glowing Child of the Wind on the Sky Martial Battle Network. He stood up and walked passed the butler and said, “Just have anyone come over to tell me about matters as small as this in the future. There’s no need for an elder to personally come.”

“Hehe….” The butler, whose face was filled with wrinkles, revealed a kind smile through his gaze, “They’re scared that you, sir, will spar with them. I’m old. Young Master Yu won’t bully an old man such as me.”

“Old man?” Chen Yu gave a helpless smile, shaking his head as he walked out the room. He had swapped pointers with none other than this old man last week, and this old man had sent him to the hospital. Anyone who looked down on this old man would be courting death.
