A Forgotten Hero - Volume 1 Chapter 13 Focus Punch Vs God Hand
[Flow control martial arts has been embedded!]
Burst of light appeared in front of my eyes and suddenly I felt a surge of energy from every inch of my body! I felt as if points in my body were forcefully opened and now the opened points allow more energy in the surroundings to flow in and out of me!
I don’t have the time to be amazed about the sudden burst of power I am feeling, considering a some guy is trying to punch the living daylights out of me!
I have to admit this guy’s smirk is really pissing me off and how he covers his face! Is he trying to be some cliche mysterious guy with some dark past! Well he won’t win this now!
Every one of his punches are encased in his energy, now compared to our energy, his one is far stronger then mine.
I need to brake the flow of his punches or else these attacks won’t stop!
Though normally it would be impossible for me , at my current strength, to neutralize his energy…though now its very possible!
Whoosh!
This martial arts hones ones ability to control there power efficiently! Though this may be the beginner level, it has changed my body enough to combine it with one of my past skill!
While dying of pain, every punch I dodged, I started to control some of the energy that was released from each punch and made it flow around my body.
Damn…thank god this skill lead to my senses increasing and making it easier to move, or else I would I have been finished by now!
Swoosh!Pooosh!
Alright! Lets disrupt this guy’s pattern!
Adding the power I gathered from him and my own power, I focused them on my hands and then by combining the techniques of ‘the flow control martial arts’ and my knowledge of a martial arts I personally knew before my demise! I recreated a version of a move I used frequently in my younger days!
[Ying Yang neutral flow!] Controlling both energies around my body, I collided my palm with one of his punches!
The force of the collision neutralised both our energies! It lead my opponent to stumble backwards from the shock of it ; allowing myself to have some breathing room!
I finally got a chance to beat the daylights out of him! While having a cheeky grin, I got right close to that irritating hood of his!
Placing my palm onto his chest, I used [flow burst] which directly sends my energy directly into him, causing damage to his insides!
Of course, It won’t kill him as this guy seems to be stronger then he is letting on and plus currently with only one attack it won’t kill him, if that was my intention. However multiple of these could.
I hear my opponent grunt by my attack. Time for some revenge. My hands are still frozen in solid ice: With my left, I punch him with a left hook! With my right, I punch him upwards straight in his gut; Using [flow burst!]. The man’s mouth opens in pain!
I don’t know if it’s an adrenaline rush but the pain I felt in my body has decreased and so I just kept attacking with my frosty fists and occasionally used my legs, if he manages to dodge my fists.
Our battle continued; the man eventually got his footing back and started to fight me evenly but it wasn’t as one sided as it was a few minutes ago!
Luckily I tried to learn [flow control martial arts] it has opened my senses greatly and allowed me to have far better control of my power! I am not wasting it greatly like I did previously! I need to learn the more advanced versions, if I do I may be able to restore my control and senses to how I was previously!
The crowd was in shock and disbelief that I am still fighting and managing to have equal footing with this guy.
Bam!
Pam!
Whoosh!
The man backed off and then his aura started to be stronger, dominating everyone else around!
He is about to use a powerful move!
His aura was the colour of Amber, it had a red but mostly orangey colour, which emitted from his body; leading to the ground cracking from its force.
So he wants to finish this with a bang eh? Steadying my breathing, I circulate my ice cold energy towards my hands!
This process was much easier and faster compared to when I didn’t learn the flow control skills.
The man raised his hands; his aura stretched out and formed a hand that’s at least three to four times larger then his hand! This shocked the crowd, incase it hit them, they took a few steps back.
I placed my freezing hand up, ready to tackle his move.
“If you give up now, I will let you go!” The man suddenly explained.
“I’m good, you will lose anyway!” I replied.
Opposite to the area cracking around him, my area started to freeze due to my aura.
The crowd where at awe of the both of us!
However it seems not everyone is excited, the chubby man seems to be sweating intensely and biting his fingers.
“God hand!” He called out, closing his fist, which closed the energy hand,launching the energy fist right at me!
“Focus punch!” I retaliate and flung my arm right at giant hand!
Both forces collided! Frosty mist started to repel against the giant hand while Amber energy did the same, clearly showing the two forces against each other!
Though the impact may look equal, I am slowly moving backwards!
Some of the people ran away as the force between us could cause injury, some stayed probably due to being a high enough level, some who did stay had low levels thus falling down from our impact.
“It’s over.”my opponent said in a disappointed tone.
As if its over! I will defeat you!
As I was being pushed back, I felt a sudden surge of power and the energy fist started to freeze!
Eventually the entire fist was frozen; it shattered to pieces!
The broken pieces flew right to the man; some collided with him while some just hit the ground creating dust which surrounded my opponent.
The crowd waited in anticipation for the smoke to clear, while having astonished faces as they wandered how I managed to win that collision!
In fact, I was surprised myself that I managed to win that struggle yet I remained calm throughout it to feign that I had it under control…when I didn’t.
The dust cleared and the man was on the floor! The moment I saw this I charged, creating a blade of ice; pointing right at his shrouded face!
The moment your opponent is down you must aim to subdue them before they get the chance to recover.
“I win” I said in a cold voice.
The man simply smirked under his hood and admitted defeat.
The crowd and chubby man where shocked! A low levelled person like myself managed to beat a high levelled person.
It took a few moments until the chubby man coughed and said “Congratulation! Here is your ticket to participate for the arena for free! Round of applause for this gentlemen!”
The crowd applauded and I got handed the ticket. I left afterwards making my way through the crowd, uninterested in hearing their praises. Some tried to approach me to talk but I just ignored them.
I don’t have the time to waste, after fighting that guy, I need to get stronger in the little time I have until this event starts or else others like him will crush my chances to make money!
Plus my body is severely injured and I need to find somewhere to rest.
Unknowing to Jack, he left at the perfect time as guards of the kingdom started to come due to the destruction caused by his and Jin’s fight.
The chubby man had to explain what happened and compensated for the damage; so the guards left afterwards.
The chubby man and the two people went to an alleyway.
“Jin! Why did you go over what we agreed! Do you know how much money I had to spend to cover this up!What if people noticed you weren’t level 40!”The chubby man shouted at the man that fought Jack.
“Haha, that guy would have won earlier if I didn’t, yet he still won even though I raised my power to around level 45” Jin explained while having a grin on his face.
“What! You didn’t let him win??” The other shrouded man asked.
“No I didn’t. He forced me to surrender since it wasn’t a fight to the the death, he stopped before his ice blade could pierce me meaning I would have died had it not been for the rules.”
The other two man were surprised by Jin statement! They both knew Jin was not a simple person and he was very powerful that, they don’t even know how strong he truly is!
Seeing there surprised faces, Jin continued “That Guy is not what he seems to be, he-”
As Jin was talking, the chubby man interrupted “So is he stronger then level 45! I only saw a level 34 but maybe you saw something else??”
“No, he is definitely level 34 however he seems to have experience that’s higher then his level! He will make our little event very interesting” Jin smirked while explaining.
The three man separated after a few more exchanges. Jin told the chubby man to watch Jack carefully when he arrives.
Unknowingly to the two man, Jin didn’t talk about near the end Jack’s power exceeded level 34 and that he saw Jack’s right eye flash before his aura fist shattered! He decided to keep it a secret since if he told them then the entire continent would eventually be in a uproar!
Regardless Jin was very excited to see more of Jack’s skills.
