The Favored Son of Heaven Chapter 53

Chapter 53 - A Tangled Mess

Translator: Strivon  Editor: Strivon

e training at boot camp far exceeded the training on the transport ship in intensity.

The recruits, who had complained quite a bit on the transport ship, now began to cherish their beautiful lives out at sea.

By the time it was afternoon, the recruits didn’t even have the energy to sit, let alone stand. They were send back to their living quarters one after another, where they lay on their beds and studied military rules and regulations.

Du Peng’s mental state was still excellent up finishing training. He simply slipped away into a jog as he dashed to the gravity chambers of recruit boot camp.

Qin Fen had originally planned to go with Du Peng, but Squad Leader Hao called him to a stop.

“You’re coming with me.” Squad Leader Hao tossed out a few words, turning around in a cool manner as he walked into the depths of camp.

Qin Fen followed behind, quite puzzled. Did this Squad Leader Hao seek him to swap pointers? If this was the case, should Qin Fen use a bit of explosiveness when the time comes? Or should he use the Raging Berserker Tide?

Ever since he lost against Squad Leader Hao last time, Qin Fen actively wished to reclaim his pride. Even if he knew that his opponent was a meteor level expert, Qin Fen really wanted to push Squad Leader Hao into using meteor level power.

A three-star level expert pushing a meteor level expert from using four-star strength into using meteor level strength was quite the face-slapping matter for the meteor level expert.

Qin Fen followed Squad Leader Hao in a period of total silence before arriving in an extremely spacious building.

There were five people already standing in the room, making six seasoned soldiers total when Squad Leader Hao was included.

Aside from Squad Leader Hao, the other five seasoned soldiers acted as if they were on a blind date. They sized up and carefully studied Qin Fen up and down. Quite a few of them even had smiles that harbored malicious intentions.

If they weren’t in a disciplined, strict, and impartial military camp right now, Qin Fen would have suspected that some no good men were going to take him to some no good place the treat clients.

“Excellent! Excellent! Kid, From today on, I will be your master in teaching you how to kill people! You can just call me Teacher Butcher!”

The man possessed a thick and broad build, and eyes ever sharper than a hawk’s. Chen Yuantu didn’t cover his strength at all before Qin Fen. A dense and crackling killing aura flooded out from his body.

Qin Fen gaped, a bit shocked. Though this man couldn’t compare to the figure of light, Lord Turbulence, in power, indescribable killing capacity and experience exuded from his body.

Master? Qin Fen was a bit suspicious. When did the military camp had the title of master?

A different person gathered before Qin Fen. He looked left and right at Qin Fen’s hands. He walked around Qin Fen, observing him in a complete circle, before saying, “Kid, you can call this boss the Gun King. As for whether or not I’m your master, some time will be needed before that will be known.”

The others all approached and sized up Qin Fen one by one, and Squad Leader Hao laughed as he approached and said, “Qin Fen, I heard that you want to participate in the Federation’s military tournament. Is that right?”

“Yeah.” Qin Fen wasn’t surprised. What would be strange was if the squad leader hadn’t heard him on the phone last night.

“These people here are all dregs of the military.” Squad Leader Hao beamed as he said, “They can train you to become an elite! If you want to obtain great performance records, then you must learn from them. This is payback for a favor I owe your big brother.”

Qin Fen more or less got a bit of understanding now. He slowly nodded, and the Butcher smiled in delight. Kid, as the saying goes, debt to an older brother is paid to the younger brother. Back then, your big brother took care of me. I will do the same to you a hundredfold.”

Qin Fen’s scalp went numb as he thought to himself,  God knows what sort of suffering this vicious man ate from my big brother back in the day. It seems like he wants to have his revenge more than he wants to teach me. 

The rest of the people’s smiles were pretty much the same, causing Qin Fen’s heart even more uncertainty. What the hell were these people that Squad Leader Hao found?

“This is your teacher in aerial combat. Captain Li of the trash squadron of the military’s aerial combat network.” Squad Leader Hao pointed to a man who was thinner than a monkey by a factor.

“Kid, I’ve heard a bit about you. It’s very interesting.” Captain Li, the man as skinny as a monkey, said, “Later, you can call me Teacher Trash. Of course, it’s hard to become trash this year! If one day you’re qualified enough, you can join the Aerial Combat Trash Squadron.”

Next was a fatty. Squad Leader Hao said, “This is the expert of disguise, Gale Riley. He will teach you tracking, anti-tracking, ambushing, anti-ambushing, concealment, anti-concealment….”

“Hello!” The fatty was the most military-like person of this group. He extended a hand toward Qin Fen in earnest.

A handshake? Qin Fen really didn’t know what would be good to do. Wasn’t saluting typically done in the military?

Qin Fen subconsiously extended a hand, and Qin Fen immediately knew that this fatty, who appeared to be decent and upright, had a heart that could compare with Squad Leader Hao’s in sinisterness.

Crackle, crackle, crackle….

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art immediately emerged upon his hand with vigor. Both sides competed with strength as they grasped each other’s hands. A moment passed, and the fatty released his hand with satisfaction. “Excellent. Your patience is excellent.”

“This one will teach you mobile armors….”

“Mobile armors?” Qin Fen couldn’t help but ask, Squad leader, I’m Army….”

“You’re Army, and I’m your squad leader! Obey orders! I will pay your big brother back!”

Squad Leader Hao gave a military order and talked about paying back a favor. This good cop, bad cop method earned admiration from Qin Fen while making Qin Fen not know what else to say.

“All right. Introductions are all done.” Squad Leader Hao said, “Who will be first?”

“Me!”

The five seasoned soldiers were all leaping for the chance, so they ending up responding at the same time. Then they locked gazes upon each other, and intense sparks of battle intent crackled in the air.

“Hey, Old Second! Didn’t I save you on the battlefield back in the day? You would have died if it wasn’t for me! Now you’re competing with me?” The Butcher had an aura that was upright and unafraid.

The Gun King didn’t even look at the Butcher. Instead, he looked at Gale Riley, “Fatty, isn’t it because of my gun back then that you’re able to be here today?”

Gale Riley gave a very disdainful sneer, “That’s because this boss was carrying Trash that was struck down by the enemy. If I didn’t go save him, would you have had the opportunity to use your gun?”

Trash said unhappily, “Boor’s the one who got surrounded when he drove his mobile armor off in a killing frenzy. I would never have been struck down if I didn’t go save him.”

Boor, the one to teach about mobile armors, had a refined look. It was hard to imagine that this guy would lose himself to a killing frenzy.

“Butcher….” Butcher’s smile was very refined.

“I’m not fighting with you. I know that I owe you my life!” Butcher didn’t even look at Boor. He just stared at Gun King.

Qin Fen listened to the side. The relationships between these five were truly messy. Everyone owed each other favors.

Within the endless bickering, the five simply focused their gazes upon Squad Leader Hao, “Old Hao, I remember that you….”

“I owe all of you favors.” Squad Leader Hao appeared helpless, “It would be bad if I am biased toward someone, right?”

It was a tangled mess of relationships, so they could only decide by lottery. The two who drew the longest sticks would be able to give Qin Fen a clear experience today.
