The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 18: First Time Treating Someone For Dinner

Translator: Strivon Editor: Nora

Qin Fen burst with laughter before he even opened his eyes. He was truly familiar with the breathings of these two, Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota.

“Hey, man. You’ve already woke up. When are you going to open your eyes?” Lin Liqiang’s tense expression over the course of seven days instantly faded as he resumed his usual carefree appearance.

“Treat us.” Enzo Rota revealed a smile for the just awakened Qin Fen.

“Sure!” Qin Fen answered straightforwardly, but he suddenly did some thinking and asked, “Is this my first time treating?”

Lin Liqiang rubbed his chin as he pretended to be in thought. He answered very seriously, “It seems like it.”

“Let’s do McDonald’s,” Qin Fen stretched his body, his bones immediately crackled out.

“I have decided!” Lin Liqiang’s expression turned extremely determined. “I declare the following! I will take all of Old Qin’s ‘first’s’ other than the one related to Old Qin’s manhood....”

Song Jia looked at the three laughing people with a bit of envy. She never experienced this sort of friendship before in her life. No wonder Lin Liqiang chose to disobey his elders and move out to live alone. He had found this friendship.

A wave of emotion swept through her heart, and Song Jia studied Qin Fen once more. When Qin Fen was sleeping just now, his body was giving off an oppressive aura and battle-intent. The aura and the battle-intent immediately faded away upon awakening. The aura he was giving off right now was no longer the imposing aura that blended with his surroundings. Instead, his aura was faintly like that of a true grandmaster.

Masters and grandmasters were both experts, but there was a huge difference between the two. Only true geniuses who had made contact with people on that level would know the difference.

It was inconceivable enough to be able to possess the aura of a master at a young age. Possessing the imposing aura of a grandmaster was even more unheard of, especially from a three-star expert.

To the side of the road was a small McDonald’s restaurant, where the four were sitting at a table. Lin Liqiang, Enzo Rota, and Song Jia looked at Qin Fen as if they were looking at a monster.

A single person downed fifteen Big Macs and five large cups of coke a single go, and he was still ordering more. The extent of this stupefied the three experienced and knowledgeable people.

“Man....” Lin Liqiang collected his thoughts, “Bro, there’s no need to eat so ravenously even though you’re treating this time. Everything you’re eating is high in calories. Is your body all right?”

“No problems at all. I’m really hungry after these few days of sleep.” Qin Fen devoured his sixteenth Big Mac by the time he finished talking.

Such a great appetite was enough to make anyone looking lose any thoughts of eating.

With Lin Liqiang and the ice god Enzo Rota nearby, it was inconvenient for Song Jia to go probe Qin Fen. She just watched him with curiosity. She had carefully observed Qin Fen’s gait when they walked down the road to McDonald’s.

Most people would have traces of their cultivation in their gait, thanks to the training they did. Song Jia wanted to know what in the world Qin Fen cultivated in, but she became more baffled the more she observed him. Qin Fen didn’t hide his arts and techniques in his gait at all, but it was because of this that Song Jia really didn’t understand what she was seeing.

She was born to a prestigious family, and her grandfather was a great martial artist expert on Earth. Song Jia was confident that she would be able to see the type of the martial art even if she was unable to tell what martial art it was.

For example, in the case where one didn’t hide their arts and techniques, those who cultivated in the Golden Bell Shield would give off a feeling of a tank in their gait to other martial artists with powerful perception.

Those who cultivated in the Heavenly Birds Art would give off a certain feeling in their gait of being able to soar into the air at anytime.

Qin Fen’s gait was completely special. There were traces of having been fiercely tempered like from cultivating in the Golden Bell Shield. There were also traces of weightlessness like from cultivating in the Heavenly Birds Art. And there were also traces of true internal arts like that of Tai Chi.

The things Qin Fen’s body reflected could be described concisely as follows: A hodgepodge!

Though it was a hodgepodge, it gave Song Jia a feeling of a fusion between all grandmasters of martial arts under the heavens.

Fusing all of the martial arts in the world? This thought flashed through Song Jia’s mind, nearly causing her to burst out in laughter.

How could this be possible? Qin Fen was born in poverty. Even if he wanted to fuse all paleo martial arts together, it was impossible under his circumstances. Plus, he was very young. No matter how much of a godly genius he was, it was impossible for him to fuse all the paleo martial arts in the world.

Her grandfather, Song Wendong, had merely fused a portion of paleo martial arts and created his own martial dao. This was already on the level of an apex-level grandmaster. It was impossible for a boy, who wasn’t even twenty years old, to do such a thing.

As Song Jia rejected her speculation, she continued to study Qin Fen, who was devouring his eighteenth burger at this time. If he wasn’t a grandmaster who fused martial arts, then why was the his aura a bit similar to her grandfather’s?

Though his aura wasn’t as majestic as her grandfather’s, there were traces and hints of a grandmaster’s aura.

Song Jia couldn’t understand it, and testing Qin Fen would be really bad with Enzo Rota present. She could only secretly wonder to herself about how the transformation over these days of sleep was far too magical.

“Man, Old Qin.” Lin Liqiang held a cup in a carefree manner as he asked amusingly, “The entrance exams are coming up. Have you decided which school you want to test into?”

“I want to take the test for the number one university in Asia,” Qin Fen drank down a mouthful of coke before he said with seriousness, “Whether or not I can get in, I will first go join the military before going to school.”

“Join the military?” Lin Liqiang choked on his coke.

A subtle shock flashed in Enzo Rota’s eyes, while Song Jia stared at Qin Fen with bulging eyes. It wasn’t bad to join the military after graduating from high school, but there weren’t many chances to get promotions for mere high school graduates in the military. It would be very hard. At most, one would complete their military service and the Federation would send them their severance payment.

“The military provides food and lodging, and those who retire from the military will get great severance benefits. There’s a chance to get university paid for completely, and the Federation will subsidize half the tuition at the very least. It’s quite worth it.” Qin Fen explained earnestly. For these people with deep backgrounds, they probably wouldn’t understand unless Qin Fen explained it to them clearly. This was even more the case since they were all genius level in many aspects of life. However, they can’t compare to Qin Fen in terms of independence; he had to learn to be self-reliant early on.

“Makes sense~~” Lin Liqiang laughed and nodded, “Free food and drink, plus there are female officers wearing military uniforms. That’s way too awesome! It looks like I need to think about this too. I may need to have the U of S&T leave me registered as a student.”

“It’s not for you.” Qin Fen spoke with absolute certainty, “It’s possible for you to have far-reaching prospects. There’s no need to join the military straight from high school.”

Lin Liqiang nodded with a smile. True friends should be blunt with their thoughts, just like this. This is how men should get along with each other.
