Chapter 157 - Tang Zi
[The road that had already ended for me, opened up once again. I could see a path to perfect my fist technique. I started improving under that man's guidance. I dropped my pride, threw away my stubbornness, and only then was I able to 'connect' all my limbs and the core. That is when I performed the last form of the improved bullet fist. The Bullet Fist of Yin and Yang. ]
"Hmm."
"So I have to connect my limbs to my core in a certain sense that will allow me to reach this level."
Zhao Luo said but, "what was this method that allowed the senior to do it?"
'Sutususus'
Zhao Luo flipped the paper to arrive at the next page which was also the last one. That is, everything that he needed to know was on this page.
The method to connect all the limbs to the core at the moment of punching was written here by the senior.
[ As he bestowed me with his vast knowledge, I started to understand the working of heavens and thus mastering The Bullet Fist of Yin And Yang ]
The founder was talking about the stick user who he had lost to.
[Just throwing my bullet fist that contained the essence of explosion and calmness, wasn't enough. My fists went on to crush my enemies but that wasn't enough when I faced a real genius. ]
[ Then I found out that the body of a man has unlimited potential but such potential has to be unlocked step by step. Sometimes unlocking it may come easy while other times, guidance and hard work are needed. Only if one doesn't hit his Limit and I knew that this wasn't my limit. ]
'Nod.'
Zhao Luo nodded as, he, himself was being guided by the writings in the book.
'The founder thinks just like me. But even if I ever hit a limit, I will still give it my all to break through those limits.'
Zhao Luo mumbled with a decisive and confident look in his eyes.
Then he continued reading from where he had interrupted himself with his wandering thoughts.
[ This time I was guided by the senior who told me the way to connect the energy of my limbs to my core. This energy was slightly different than internal energy. ]
[ This way was so powerful that it allowed me to merge my burning yang energy with the cold yin energy, that was sleeping in my body. Once the two opposites came 'together, which rarely happened, only then was I able to unlock the true potential of the Bullet Fist. ]
[ The way was indeed something that I had never tried. Since it was something that never crossed my mind. Thus my bullet Fist lacked only one thing, and, that was the 'extreme harmony' between explosiveness and calmness. ]
[ Even though Bullet Fist is achieved by entering the fine line between Explosive and Calming Fist plane but by following this path your body will be internally divided into two and you will be in both planes simultaneously when using this technique but externally your strength will come out as ONE and that will be through your fists. ]
"I can enter both planes at the same time?"
Zhao Luo's eyes widened and he looked back at the hole.
The shape of the hole was 50 times bigger than the size of his fist and the hole continued towards the other end of the mountain without ever losing the shape of Zhao Luo's fist.
"Just how strong is this technique?"
Zhao Luo wondered as he looked back at the book in his hand.
He was already in a state where his single fist held the power of both explosion and calmness but the fist of yin and yang would be taking it even further.
Zhao Luo hurriedly looked at the next part.
[ As I have said, to achieve this level, you will need to enter the explosive fist plane and the calming fist plane at the same time. ]
'Gulp.'
Zhao Luo found it hard to swallow his saliva as the nervousness took over him.
The spicy part was coming and Zhao Luo felt more than ready for it.
[ On one fist, the explosiveness which can turn the tides will 'act' as your Yang energy, a light that can destroy everything, and on the other fist, the calmness of the fist will 'act' as yin energy, a darkness that will envelop everything that comes in its path.]
"Explosive fist and the calm fist."
"Light and darkness."
"Destroying and Enveloping everything that comes in my path."historical
Zhao Luo looked excited.
[ When both of your fists fall on your enemy, then your enemy will fall on his knees. ]
"I will be unstoppable, even by those who are way above my level."
Zhao Luo realized this while reading the text written by the founder.
"It's ending..."
Zhao Luo said while feeling sad as the content was ending and there were three more parts left on this page which was the end.
[ The training will be hard. It may damage your body. The skin on your arms will start tearing like it's shedding off. Your bones will shatter to pieces. Your elbows will be mangled and your shoulders will be disfigured during the torturous training to reach the point where you can throw an explosive and calming fist at the same time with your right and left fist respectively. ]
[ But till you breathe, no matter what, you have to achieve this level. Otherwise don't dare to call yourself my student. ]
[ I, Tang Zi have never given up neither will any of my disciples and those who do, haha. Then remember the heavens will punish you in the most torturous ways. Now go and train. ]
'Smirk.'
Zhao Luo couldn't help but grin as the last three parts that the founder had left were a warning, a dare, and a curse.
"What an interesting man. Founder Tang Zi, I may have not accepted you as my master but I will always respect you as my senior."
Zhao Luo said as he stored the book and got up from his spot.
"Let's reach the ultimate level."
Zhao Luo confidently announced in a world where his voice echoed multiple times.
