BANG!
His head snapped upward.
"I'm not done yet. The lesson is just starting." My feet slid forward, stance tightening as my breath sank low. Qi surged through my arms.
Then I struck
My palms moved faster than sound, snapping forward in clean, controlled bursts. Twelve hits landed in a single second.
Chest. Sternum. Ribs. Diaphragm. Liver. Spine.
To end the combo, I drove my two palms into his ribs. The force rippled through his body and blasted him way.
He slid back across the floor. Cracks spread under his feet, but he did not fall.
He straightened slowly and grinned.
There was no doubt his body reached a level far beyond any S-Rank. The density of his flesh was absurd. Hitting him felt like striking a moving fortress.
Although my body was durable, it didn't reach this level yet.
If anyone else stood here instead of me, they would not even leave a bruise.
SWOOSH!
