Chapter 588 - Times Change (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The boundless sea surrounded the huge island. Quirky buildings were erected on it. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a theme park. In fact, it even looked a lot like the world’s famous art center.
Sacred Martial Hall! Qin Fen looked down through the plane’s cabin and a sense of familiarity surged into his heart quickly. A thought flashed through his mind.
Before looking for Qilin’s Song Wendong at Qilin Mountain, I should go back to the Sacred Martial Hall first to visit Wu Zun. I might as well visit the Sacred Martial Six Stars whom I never really sparred with before as well.
The Specter Fighter drew a huge semicircle in the air before it finally chose to land at the air force base in Hawaii.
Due to the major general rank’s military uniform and his young masculine face, the soldiers of the air force ground crew immediately recognized Qin Fen!
Today’s Federation, whether it was a soldier or an ordinary civilian, if they saw any young soldier with the rank of major general, they would be able to instantly call out their names loudly.
The battle at Saturn’s stadium that day which was broadcasted live through the Federation’s platform, plus a series of follow-up news reports, had allowed everyone in the Federation to know of Qin Fen and his group of friends.
Qin Fen saluted to the colonel of the air force ground crew who came running, looking flustered. “Can you help me to fully recharge this? I will come and get it soon.”
The colonel who was in charge of the air force ground crew nodded with utmost sincerity and respect. A mere air force base could actually become the landing base of the world’s top master, who was also the most popular candidate for the future Divine Beast martial artist. This incident was enough for him to go back and brag to other colleagues.
Qin Fen took a taxi back to the port which had the ship headed to the Sacred Martial Hall. He looked at a distance towards the Sacred Martial Hall island, which could not be seen at all. He sat quietly on a chair to take a break while waiting for the next day’s ferry.
It was not difficult to cross the straits to the island with his own strength. However, he wanted to pay respect towards the Sacred Martial Hall, which was the world’s martial arts Holy Land, as he also trained at the martial artists’ hall in the past. Therefore, that respect should not be weakened by the growth of his own strength.
Qin Fen’s knees relaxed, and his back leaned slightly against the reclining chair. He looked into the distance, and his heart felt full.
Power can easily make people lose themselves. When our power was weak, we regard others as older brothers and seniors. When our power was on par with others, we would talk to each other as peers. This was the major change in the state of mind caused by power.
If a person’s state of mind can be changed by power, how can he become a real pro? Qin Fen felt the peculiar glances of people passing him, but there was only a faint happiness in his heart. If it was not for the figure of light’s special training which let him re-examined and understand himself, perhaps he would have already lost himself with the control of power. He now understood that he should only trust himself, and not power.
The sun set, the moon rose, and the stars shifted.
The ship from Sacred Martial Hall blew a long and loud whistle; Qin Fen once again saw the cargo ship which carried him to the Sacred Martial Hall that day.
It was still the same old captain and the ship. Qin Fen gently jumped onto the ship and slightly nodded to the dumbstruck old captain. He stood on the deck to admire the early morning seascape.
The old captain looked at Qin Fen’s back, and the shock in his heart was obviously shown on his whole face. This person moved around Saturn freely. He is known as the first among the younger generation, the new generation pro who killed many famous old martial artists, and the one most likely to breakthrough as a Divine Beast martial artist. Why did he come here again? Also, why did he insist on taking the boat? Isn’t it better for him to just fly there directly?
After the ship loaded all the goods, the boat blew its heavy whistle again and sailed towards the Sacred Martial Hall.
The ship sailed all the way to the Sacred Martial Hall’s dock. As a ‘senior member’ of the Sacred Martial Hall, Qin Fen did not need to go through the Three Sacred Martial Exam.
Once again, he walked the road that led to the test of the Sacred Martial Hall. The guards looked at Qin Fen in astonishment and cleared the way for him subconsciously.
Do I stop Qin Fen? Only pros at the level of honor seats or the Sacred Martial Six Stars can do that, right? Other people can’t beat this young man.
“Qin Fen is back!”
“Qin Fen is back to the Sacred Martial Hall!”
The news, like a whirlwind, quickly spread throughout the Sacred Martial Hall. In a glimpse, the places where Qin Fen passed by was surrounded by martial artists; they all wanted to see Qin Fen, who was called the Sacred Martial Hall’s miracle as well as the super newcomer monster.
“Master!”
Ma Jun Tie squeezed himself out of the crowd. Qin Fen turned his head and gently waved at him. This young man, under the gaze of countless jealous and envious people, suddenly stepped on the ground with Qin Fen’s Dragon Cannon style. He shook away the surrounding martial artists. The quick and fierce aura of power which seemed to imply that, ‘I am the real dragon, and you are just a worm‘, was aimed at Qin Fen as his fists blasted the air continuously.
