Chapter 7 - Two Weird Friends (Part 1/2) (1/2)
Quite a lot. This was the number of opponents that Qin Fen believed he could eliminate within a hundred moves. He was uncertain of only a very few apex existences, and that included Glowing Child of the Wind, who replied to the post.
Is it because he didn’t have combat experience in the past? Now that he fought personally today, he had gained a greater understanding of his own strength? Qin Fen softly shook his head, overruling this conjecture. He would truly be an idiot if he was unable to get a feel for his level of strength among these two-star warriors.
Could it be the liquid metal? Qin Fen was a bit restless. He turned off the computer before him, ultimately deciding to go to the hospital for a bit of a check up. It was best to resolve any issues early if there truly were some. People only lived once, after all.
Qin Fen had a bit of a heartache over the cost of the expensive medial examination as he withdrew some money from his bank account that had suddenly surged with over ten thousand RMB. He quickly walked into the hospital.
Blood draws. Fluoroscopy. Taking X-ray images!
A series of procedures were done, each costing a fee, and Qin Fen felt a heartache over the loss of the bills in his wallet. His body was all extremely normal regardless the examination. The metal content of his blood was normal. And the X-ray images only showed his heart, liver, lung, spleen, kidney, bones, and intestines. There weren’t any part of that dripping wet liquid metal ball that looked a bit disgusting.
Back in his room, Qin Fen laid on the bed, tossing and turning. He was unable to fall asleep no matter what he did. In the end, he simply and helplessly sat crossed-legged on his bed for he planned to continue cultivating in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. He clearly felt that he had broken through to the second stage these days, but he hadn’t had any signs of breakthrough to the third stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.
Coalesce the mind! Calm the breath! Circulate the body’s internal energy….
This wouldn’t do! Qin Fen shook his head hard. His body was constantly in a state of inexplicable excitement, and his brain was in a state of indescribable excitement as well. It was fundamentally impossible for him to obtain the tranquility needed to cultivate internal energy.
Coalesce the mind! Calm the breath! Circulate the body’s….
This still wouldn’t do! Qin Fen tried going into a meditative state once more, but the inexplicable emotions of excitement destroyed it time and time again.
Sleep? Unable to sleep! Meditate? Unable to enter meditation! Could it be that he had to do shadowbox exercises until the morning? Qin Fen watched the moon outside his window as he leaned against the wall. Soon he rejected the decision to get up and shadowbox. If he were to continue shadowboxing now, he would exhaust all of his strength for work tomorrow. An appropriate amount of training was training. Over training… had far too high a cost. The impoverished Qin Fen wouldn’t go training wastefully.
He was unable to do anything. Qin Fen stared outside the window, lost in thought, as an enormous interstellar spaceship just so happened to break through the atmosphere, flying towards a different planet. Humanity already ruled the five major planets of the solar system. Becoming the existences fully deserving to be overlords of the solar system. In this era of interplanetary travel, not only hadn’t Qin Fen visited other planets. He hadn’t even left Treasure Island.
“Brother, are you still on Mars?” Qin Fen mumbled in a whisper, “It’s been five years. Why hasn’t there been word of you?”
Qin Fen took out the pocket watch in front of his chest and opened it. He gazed at the old yellow photo within, and his brows slowly furrowed together. He had been a child who didn’t know just how hard life could be before his brother disappeared, but soon he had quickly grown and matured in these short few years.
