Qin Fen was dumbstruck. Lin Liqiang’s evil smile, which very much gave the impression that he was robbing a burning house, also turned stiff. In contrast, a gloating smile appeared on the faces of the suitors.

None of the people present here were fools.

Everyone was perfectly aware as to how much trouble these words of Earth Martial God, Song Wendong would bring to Qin Fen.

In the federation, the people who wanted to become the relatives of the Song Family weren’t just limited to those on Earth. There were far more people on other planets who had the very same idea.

Being the grandson-in-law of Song Wendong meant everything: glory, splendor, wealth, and rank! These all were the most basic of the basic things! Peerless martial art…that was absolutely necessary!

In other words, if one became the grandson-in-law of Song Wendong, it would not be too much to say that everything and everyone would be at his beck and call.

If Song Wendong wanted to run for the presidency, none would nominate their name as a candidate on Earth, at the very least.

Hidden emperor! That was what many people called Song Wendong in private.

Of course, people still preferred to call him Qilin, or Earth Martial God.

In the entire federation, the five major planets were the most heavily populated. Apart from the five major planets, there were still a few asteroids that were heavily settled.

With such a huge population, even if only a small percentage came to challenge Qin Fen, he wouldn’t have the time to sleep anymore in this life. He would have to deal with one challenge or another every day.

In addition to the number of people, there was another thing that Lin Liqiang was worried about.

As a member of the circle that once used to be active, Lin Liqiang was pretty well aware that some of the people had not come to participate in the test this time around. It was not that they were afraid, but rather they had all the qualifications to be exempted.

For instance, the Vermilion Bird of Mars, Shangguang Shengyu, who had pretty good relations with the Earth Martial God, Song Wendong. Her son, Shangguang Chuanqi!

Currently, on Mars…

Every time Shangguan Chuanqi picked someone to spar, or challenge, he would always pick martial artists who are five years older than him. It was not that he was looking down at his peers on Mars, but rather, as early as half a year ago, he had steamrolled all the outstanding young martial artists of his age on Mars and was promoted as the first expert by the young martial artists of Mars.

In order to not blow away the confidence of other young martial artists in their martial dao, Shangguan Chuanqi could only pick martial artists who were five years older than him to spar.

Two martial artists with an age gap of five years were still considered as belonging to the same generation in the Federation by default.

Butler Hou passed Song Wendong’s instructions very clearly to all the suitors.

So to say, if the current youngest legendary figure of Mars, Shangguan Chuanqi wanted to marry Song Jia, then he was left with no choice but to beat Qin Fen down first.

Apart from Mars, Venus, Mercury…

Which of the descendant of the divine beast title holder was a fool? Each and every one of them had inherited the excellent genes of their ancestors. On their respective planet, just a mere mention of their name would make the people praise them constantly.

As for Jupiter…

Azure Dragon was a man shrouded in mysteries. His age, even more so.

No one knew if he had any descendants, or how old they were, if any.

Rumors could be heard occasionally…

That the Azure Dragon was a young man! A less than thirty-year-old young man!

In regards to such rumors, everyone treated them as nothing more than a joke.

How could someone as young as thirty years old have the title of a divine beast? After all, if one wanted to get such a title, he or she needed to be acknowledged by other divine beast title holders.

Other divine beast title holders acknowledging his or her triumph of winning the divine beast title was already proof in and of itself of his or her peerless strength.

A divine beast titleholder who was less than thirty years old! How amazing he was! Saying that he was the prideful son of heaven would not be too much!

Can such a person exist? Many people maintained a disbelieving attitude!

However, there were some people who were still suspicious about this and maintained an ambiguous attitude.

Although Lin Liqiang didn’t believe that the Azure Dragon was less than thirty years old, he was still having a faint restless feeling, for information from many sources told him that the Azure Dragon was truly a less than thirty years old young man, and unmarried at that.

If that was the case…

Thinking of Azure Dragon, Lin Liqiang’s forehead was immediately covered in large beads of cold sweat.

As the Azure Dragon, he too had all the qualifications to compete for Song Wendong’s grandson-in-law’s position.

The Azure Dragon might not participate. However, if the Azure Dragon had some political purpose in the interest of Jupiter then it would be harder to say.

Azure Dragon against Qin Fen!? Lin Liqiang wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. It wasn’t that he was unoptimistic, but rather Qin Fen had no chance of winning against him, whatsoever.

Even in the absence of the Azure Dragon, Lin Liqiang still had some concerns when he thought about the top-ranking young martial artists of various planets. It was an irrefutable fact that Qin Fen’s foundation was thinner than theirs.

Qin Fen might not know about the Azure Dragon. He might also not know about the outstanding geniuses of various planets. But he knew that if just a few hundred or over a thousand people from every planet gathered to challenge him every day…

Then, there could only be one result. And that was to be dead tired, to the point that he would not even be able to raise his arm. He would just suffer a series of defeats.

As he raised his head to look at Song Jia standing by the window on the second floor, powerlessness descended on him.

Even if a girl like her wasn’t born in Song Wendong’s house, just her beauty was enough to hold a competition for her marriage. And presumably, it would still attract a large number of young men who would fight till their heads were bashed and battered.

With the halo of Song Wendong’s granddaughter hovering over her head, even if Song Jia changed the threshold to titanium alloy, Qin Fen would still be flattened by the other suitors as before.

Taking a long, deep breath, as Qin Fen looked at the smirking Butler Hou, Qin Fen could not help but repeatedly shook his head, praising Song Wendong’s ruthlessness.

Having fought for such a long time to eliminate the current suitors, Qin Fen originally wanted to deal a head-on blow to Song Wendong.

But it never crossed his mind that the other party would not only recover from the disadvantageous position but even launch a counterattack just by moving his lips.

“Dad, Grandpa, this…” Song Jia, like a spoiled child, forcefully shook Song Zhenting’s arm and said, “How can he do this…”

A kind look appeared on Song Zhenting’s face as he raised his hand and caressed his daughter’s hair. “Kiddo, do you still not know your grandpa’s temper? Whoever dares to challenge him must be ready to pay a good price.”

“I am not satisfied, I am very discontented…” Song Jia dragged her voice. “How can Grandpa do this? This is too unfair to Qin Fen.”

“Unfair?” Song Zhenting patted his daughter’s shoulder. “Kiddo, did you already forget what your Grandpa taught you? Nothing in this world is fair. If you feel it’s unfair, then, work hard! Transcend the fairness, override the justice! Let others shout ‘it’s unfair’.”

“But…” Song Jia still wanted to justify herself, but she was stopped by Song Zhenting.

“Look there.” Song Zhenting pointed at Qin Fen in the courtyard.

Qin Fen’s face, that had a restrained look plastered on it, was now slowly blooming with a slight smile.

Very soon, this smile turned into a burst of laughter. Very soon, he was looking at the sky, laughing.

At the sight of this, all the suitors were left gawking at Qin Fen, wondering whether he was scared silly by Song Wendong’s words.

Accepting the challenges of all the people in the Federation who wanted to become Song Wendong’s grandson-in-law, no matter on whom this matter fell, he would most likely be driven crazy!

After the bout of laughter, Qin Fen gradually calmed down as an unyielding pride covered his face. “Good! I also wanted to experience all kinds of boxing. I’ll learn a lot from others’ strong points and create my own sect. Thank you Grandfather Song for giving me this opportunity, I will help myself.”

At this moment, the young suitors felt like Qin Fen’s figure grew bigger in the blink of an eye. It wasn’t that his body was expanding because of the ebullition of blood by true energy, no, rather it was the aura surrounding his entire body. His aura gave the impression that he could swallow mountains and rivers, that he was looking down on the world.

Having said that, Qin Fen burst into strange laughter as he proclaimed once more, “As long as I am not defeated, Jia Jia can’t be married to anyone. Therefore, I will use my fists to knock all the challengers down, beat the very thought of marrying Jia Jia out of their minds.”

“You…don’t be arrogant…” Ge Bing, after having woken up from his severe stupor, spat. Having reached level two fusion with his biochemical beast, his healing ability may not restore his combat power immediately, but it could still sustain his life temporarily.

“In the Federation, the five major planets…” Ge Bing spoke intermittently as he gasped for breath. “Have an enormous population. As such, the chance of a genius appearing is naturally greater. Defeat, for you… is only a matter of time…”

Qin Fen just gave a smile, he didn’t answer. Today’s battle had given him a lot of inspiration. As long as he went back and calmly replay today’s battle in his mind, he would have progress that was indeed not small.

“Okay, come in.”

As Butler Hou gave a light shout, a large number of people with “Song” character embroidered on their chest made their way in.

Next, Butler Hou pointed at the injured suitors and waved his hand. “Take them all to the hospital.”

The Song Family’s staff was very efficient. The injured suitors were very quickly carried away from the courtyard.

As these suitors were carried out of the courtyard, all of them had a varying expression when they were looking at Qin Fen.

Some were truly shocked by his series of performances. Looking at Qin Fen, their eyes were filled with praises.

There were even some that had a gloating smile on their faces. Song Wendong’s words made them feel like someone had already avenged them.

Ge Bing, on the other hand, had an unconvincing look on his face.

Oliver, who came from Russia, had a defiant look even more so. He had lost unjustly! As a martial artist who knew how to truly use the biochemical beast, he was beaten to the point where he couldn’t even crawl before he could even have the opportunity to use it.

“When I recover, I will come and let you know my, Oliver’s, true strength!” Despite the excruciating pain coming from his stomach, when Oliver was carried past Qin Fen, he gave a bear-like roar.

“Alright, I will be waiting for you.” Qin Fen bent over and whispered in Oliver’s ear. “Next time, I will beat you so that your injuries are heavier than Ge Bing’s.”

When Qin Fen’s calm words fell into Oliver’s ear, a chill ran down Oliver’s spine.

Butler Hou made another call, calling someone to repair the damaged courtyard. And when he left, he gave a pat on Qin Fen’s shoulder with a smiling look in his eyes before disappearing into the courtyard.

Not long after, Song Zhenting also walked out from the red-bricked house.

Until he got into his car, his eyes never left Qin Fen’s body. This whole time, he was wondering what bewildering protective divine art Qin Fen was using exactly!

This question was hovering in his mind the whole time.

If he didn’t notice that Qin Fen was truly tired, he would have long made his move to test him thoroughly, acting as the strong bullying the weak.

When the courtyard had completely quieted down, the red-bricked house’s door opened once more as Song Jia, who had now changed into a traditional cheongsam, made her way out. Her face, lined with tears, was filled with smiles.
