Chapter 116 - Attack of the Scimitar—Child Soldiers (1/2)

Qin Fen sat before his own steak, secretly letting out a sigh of relief in his heart. Luckily, he had eaten steak one time with Song Jia in the past.

Though last time he used chopsticks, he had researched the relevant fundamentals for eating steak from the Internet when he got home.

Steak wasn’t bad either!

Qin Fen smiled. There wasn’t too much difference between cutting steak and smearing jam on bread.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art slowly propelled within his body, and Qin Fen didn’t follow the fibers of the steak in making his cuts. Instead, he pressed his knife in the opposite direction.

Xue Tian looked up to the ceiling and gave a long helpless sigh when he saw this scene. He never saw someone who worked and trained this hard. No wonder this kid had decent strength.

The young generation sitting present were all people who possessed some experience. As Xue Tian sighed, Ge Bing discovered Qin Fen’s oddities as well.

Ge Bing gave a faint smile of disdain after a short observation. Was Qin Fen challenging him by cutting his steak in that fashion? Had the matter at the restrooms just now given Qin Fen the belief that he was qualified to challenge Ge Bing?

Lev Mirov and the others all followed Ge Bing’s lead. When they saw that he didn’t accept the challenge and use the same method as Qin Fen in cutting steak, they all followed and copied Ge Bing. They continued cutting their steaks using the normal method.

Failure… yet another failure… Qin Fen discovered that the control over force when cutting steak was a bit different from applying jam on bread.

What’s this…? Qin Fen furrowed his brow as he examined the fibers of the steak that had been shaken into several segments from his power. He once again fell into contemplation regarding control over power. This possessed a certain similarity to sparring with different opponents.

Qin Fen went slower and slower with his meal. Every cut possessed a different feeling and sensation.

Ge Bing’s very initial smile had changed into pondering. Qin Fen wasn’t challenging him. Instead, Qin Fen was completely immersed in his own world.

He finished cutting the plate of steak, and the lunch gathering had already reached its end. Qin Fen looked at the plate of shredded beef before his eyes and helplessly shook his head. He didn’t reach the desired result during this time’s cultivation.

After eating bread and jam for the entire morning, even Qin Fen with his big belly was unable to eat the cut steak.

He gazed at the beef with a bitter smile and was dragged out of the room by Lin Liqiang. Song Jia and Enzo Rota followed behind.

Xue Tian used Qin Fen’s knife to pick up the beef and take a look. His eyes immediately lit up. Qin Fen had improved from the jam application in the morning!

Xue Tian left the room, and only then did Ge Bing made his way before the beef. He raised a knife to pick at the strips of beef on the cold plate. A faint wrinkle of a smile appeared on his forehead.

“Young Master Ge, his control over power is quite formidable. How can you still smile?” One of the people besides Lev Mirov spoke.

“How boring would it be if his control over power was lacking.” Ge Bing casually tossed away the dinner knife. “Lin Liqiang’s strength of vision is still as sharp as before. He left his family, and now it looks like he’s not like the rumors say he is, fed up with the struggle to be the family heir. He’s found such a decent helper. He probably wants to rope him in to be his subordinate, right? Attracting talent from the outside? Sure enough, Lin Liqiang isn’t someone to be underestimated. Perhaps he’s the real one vying for Song Jia. Perhaps he’s the true enemy.”

“Young Master Ge’s analysis is still as sharp as always.” Lev Mirov was the first to give praise, causing the people around him, who wanted to give praise, to be quite upset.

Qin Fen walked into the elevator and looked at the friends beside him. “So where to next?”

“Where?” Song Jia smiled. “Just go back to your hotel. I’ll go shopping with Qiangster and the others.”

“Huh?” Qin Fen was stunned.

Lin Liqiang agreed with Song Jia. “That’s right, that’s right. Old Qin, right now your head is full of thoughts on increasing your power through cultivation. As your friends, we shouldn’t be dragging you off to play with us right now. Right now you need to find a peaceful place and slowly heighten yourself.”

“Mission. Dangerous. Power.” Enzo Rota spoke three short words, and Qin Fen instantly understood the thoughts of his friends.

There were always dangers when executing a mission. Only those with tyrannical strength had their safeties guaranteed.

“Then okay. Y’all have a good and fun time.” Qin Fen didn’t refuse. His mind was crammed with thoughts on controlling power. Accompanying his friends to have fun could be considered a sort of disrespect to his friends.

“Qin Fen.” Song Jia walked to the door to the hall and gently shook her fist. “Do your best!”

————-

With the mission coming up, Qin Fen thought about how he was ultimately unable to kill Sajjad when Sajjad used the biochemical beast to explosively increase his strength. His heart’s ambition and desire to do battle suddenly were roused, and they soared.

Having seen the unleashed might of Zeng Yicheng’s control and precision over power, Qin Fen became all the more certain that if his control and precision over power were just a bit stronger, he might have been able to capture Sajjad alive or kill him.

Qin Fen went to the streets to buy the cheapest t-shirts of pure white and returned back to his hotel room. He hung a ‘Do not Disturb’ sign on his door, went inside, and sat in the middle. He began meditating and was soon immersed in his own world of controlling power. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art slowly propelled within his body.
