Chapter 9: An Inconceivable Aura

Translator: Strivon Editor: Nora

Someone once said that a pleasant voice was akin to the cry of a golden oriole. Qin Fen had always believed this to be a mere analogy, but now he knew that the world truly did possess this kind of voice when he heard the girl behind him.

Lin Liqiang acted as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard the voice. This confident and calm superstar slowly turned around with a face that carried a bit of embarrassment, “Jia Jia, this time you’ve misunderstood. I’m just spreading your splendid, radiant, and lofty image around.”

At the vanguard was a flying saucer model maglev Ferrari sports car. The girl had walked out of it, giving off a feeling that caused everyone’s eyes to sparkle. She was radiant, and even more dazzling to the eyes, when paired with the convertible sports car that had a top made of a translucent composite material.

Qin Fen had only seen such a car online before. There were only ten of them in the entire world. They were called the limited edition of limited edition. They were priced at thirty-five million dollars, and they couldn’t be bought just by having the money. One needed to have a strong background, otherwise it was pointless no matter how much money one spent.

“Oh really?” Song Jia strode over to Lin Liqiang’s side, sizing up both Enzo Rota and Qin Fen. In the end, she patted Lin Liqiang on the shoulder in a very casual manner, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to introduce your friends to me? We’re going to be classmates in the future, you know.”

Qin Fen was a bit surprised. This goddess wasn’t putting on airs at all, and she seemed to be quite amiable. But clearly Lin Liqiang must have suffered at her hands, based off of his appearance. He might be one of her pursuers who got burned.

She was able to make Lin Liqiang, someone with an extremely intelligent mind, suffer losses? Qin Fen shook his head indifferently. In any case, the gap between the environments of a goddess and himself was far too large. What was the use thinking about her?

“Haha, my bad!” Lin Liqiang pointed at Song Jia in a very gentlemanly manner, “This is Lady Song of great beauty and intelligence.”

Song Jia rolled her eyes at Lin Liqiang. This guy’s personality didn’t change at all! Only someone with this sort of personality would hide his identity as the second son of the grand Super Beast Group and run over here to be a so-called normal student, to enjoy the life of a so-called normal person.

“This hereee~~” Lin Liqiang put his arm around Enzo Rota’s shoulders, “Is earth’s future… or maybe humanity’s future number one pharmaceutical master. He is the cool brother Enzo Rota, second only to me in terms of handsomeness at Founding Central. The second best looking dude in Founding Central, second only to me in number of girls in our fan clubs, and he is currently single.”

“Hello.” Song Jia very openly gave Enzo Rota a nod in greeting, “Nice to meet you.”

“Same,” Enzo Rota gave a very polite nod, but his mannerisms lacked much enthusiastic expression and sincerity.

“This one’s even more amazing.” Lin Liqiang gave Qin Fen a pat on the back, “He is the only one in the entire school that Enzo Rota took the initiative in making friends with. He is single as well. Doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

What kind of introduction was this? Qin Fen smiled a bit helplessly. Though Lin Liqiang had a silver tongue, introducing Qin Fen was quite difficult when placed side-by-side with Enzo Rota.

Of course, being someone who Enzo Rota took the initiative to make friends with was something that would make anyone feel proud of themselves.

“Hello….” Song Jia had merely given a nod toward the genius Enzo Rota when introduced, but this time she openly extended one of her fair hands, which were as white and smooth as jade.

Lin Liqiang’s smile slightly froze. He stared at Song Jia, a bit unwilling to believe the scene before his eyes. In the end, he studied Qin Fen with a gaze akin to looking at a monster.

Lin Liqiang had grown up with Song Jia from childhood until now, so he understood this girl far too well. Though she undoubtedly wasn’t an arrogant girl, she had very high standards. She was born in that family, after all. Taking the initiative to shake hands was something she practically never did. What was with her today? She merely gave the super genius Enzo Rota a nod; that was it. Why was it with Qin Fen, she….

Lin Liqiang admitted that Qin Fen really did stand out from the masses. He had a good understanding of Qin Fen’s living circumstances as his friend. When Qin Fen wasn’t present, Lin Liqiang had once discussed with Enzo Rota: If the three people had grown up in completely same environments, then Qin Fen wouldn’t be even a tiny bit inferior to them on the road of martial arts!

But even so, this shouldn’t be enough to cause Song Jia to shake hands! Lin Liqiang quickly studied Song Jia. Could it be that this girl discovered something else? A women’s sixth sense was sometimes more accurate than scientific instruments.

“Likewise.” Qin Fen spoke no more words than Enzo Rota. As he pulled his hand away after the handshake, he felt something peculiar. Song Jia hadn’t relinquished her grip at the first instance.

Astonishment and puzzlement flashed quickly through Song Jia’s beautiful eyes. The reason why she had pulled over, gotten out, and said hello wasn’t completely because she bumped into Lin Liqiang. There was another reason; it was this seemingly unremarkable Qin Fen before her.

Song Jia’s family was a family of the martial dao. Her martial sense exceeded that of a normal person. The moment she saw Qin Fen’s back, she felt a sort of inconceivableness. The man was clearly standing there, yet it was really easy to overlook him.

It wasn’t because he lacked presence. Instead, his aura faintly blended in with the environment! This was something only an expert of the martial dao at a certain realm could do!

To be able to cultivate one’s strength to the level of producing a pressuring aura was already the mark of a genius, or perhaps a genius among geniuses. To be able to blend into the environment? That’s already stepping into the master level! How was a high school student able to do this?

A realm! It’s a sort of comprehension! It’s impossible to use words to describe it. One can only use the body to experience and understand it! This was what Song Jia’s grandfather, a super powerful expert in this world, once said!

Song Jia had been quite astonished during the brief chatter and close observation. There was something off about this Qin Fen. That was why she took the initiative to shake hands. She wanted to probe him.

Qin Fen had added a bit more strength in his wrist, his expression unchanging when he pulled his hand away. Song Jia immediately felt that she had been a bit impolite, immediately loosening her grip on Qin Fen’s hand with eyes full of suspicion. Two-star! The instantaneous energy test told her that this Qin Fen was merely at two-star strength! How can someone with this strength possess that kind of aura?

Song Jia’s brows furrowed in contemplation, completely forgetting to say a word of apology toward Qin Fen. This sort of hand-energy test was a very ill-mannered action if done without the other party’s consent.

Enzo Rota’s eyes flashed with a hint of animosity, while Lin Liqiang’s eyes flashed with a hint of apology toward Qin Fen. For normal people, such a test could only be discovered by the parties involved. However, these two onlookers were geniuses among geniuses. Things that normal people were unable to see couldn’t be hidden from their perception.

“It’s time for class.” Qin Fen’s expression was normal as usual. It was as if he hadn’t been part of the test just now. He just headed toward the school building.

Enzo Rota gave Song Jia a glare with eyes of animosity once more before silently walking toward the school building as well.
