Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Chapter 152 - Two Steps

Zhao Luo, who had recently entered the Explosive Fist Plane wasn't over the fact just yet. His fists were still itching for more.

So without wasting any time, he jumped towards the mountain.

One after another he showered the mountain with his punches.

Each punch containing all the strength he could muster in his fists fell on the dark grey surface of the mountain.

'BANG!'

'BANG!'

'BANG!'

His punches landed explosively on the mountain and blasting sounds were released one after another.

Each of Zhao Luo's punches left exactly the same dent on the mountain's surface as the first punch.

The size and shape were identical to the first one, showing that Zhao Luo's strength hadn't dwindled, not even by a bit.

"Hmm, since I have mastered this stage, then I can start training the other stage."

Zhao Luo said to himself with excited eyes.

Even though the journey to enter the Explosive Fist Plane was torturous and filled with pain and suffering but the result was worth all the pain he had gone through.

Zhao Luo couldn't have felt any better as he looked at the deformed parts of the mountain.

"More than a million punches couldn't put a single scratch on this bastard, but now just a single punch with this fist of mine..."

Zhao Luo praised himself while looking at his fist which was emitting a bloody smell.

"Hmm."

Zhao Luo made a sound as he took out the book which contained the Bullet Fist.

"The next part was Calming Fist Plane."

Zhao Luo said as he opened the book and got to the page which ended with the explanation of the Explosive Fist Plane.

He flipped the paper and arrived at the next page.

Zhao Luo looked at the start and was shocked.

"What?"

Instead of starting with the [ Calming Fist Plane ], the start of the text was in a self answering tone.

Zhao Luo started reading from the top.

[So you have already entered the Explosive Fist Plane. Good Job.]

Zhao Luo smiled as he felt the compliment of the founder, warming his heart.

"What a meticulous guy!"

Zhao Luo was quite impressed by the foresight of the founder of this Bullet Fist.

He had already foreseen such events where Zhao Luo would only get to this page after entering the Explosive First Plane.

"Let's continue."

[ But if you haven't entered the Explosive Fist Plane, then I suggest you close this book. ]

[This technique is only for those who have disciplined themselves to the extreme. Not for a skipper like you. ]

"Calling me a skipper? When you are the one throwing your guesses in the page where the technique should be!"

Zhao Luo was angry but he still had to continue reading.

[ If you are continuing, then I assume you have indeed mastered it. ]

Zhao Luo nodded as he got to this part.

[ Explosive Fist is the best trump card to change the outcome with one move. Being in the Explosive Fist Plane changes the temperament of the person to the fire nature. Anger will be your second nature while arrogance will come naturally to you. ]

[ That is just how much an explosive power changes a person. ]

[ The answer to this is achieving the Calming Fist Plane. ]

[ While the calming fist plane is a counter. Not only will it allow you to pertain your sanity but it will also allow you to counter the attacks of others with your fist. ]

[ Both explosive and calming fist planes aren't just simple fist techniques, but instead, they are the way of my life. ]

[ If you had thought of Calming Fist Plane as simply a stage that comes after Explosive Fist Plane, then you wrong my disciple! ]

"Your disciple? Who is your disciple?"

Zhao Luo who had been trying to read the technique without losing focus suddenly cried out.

He had used points to take this book so why had he gained a teacher so suddenly?

Zhao Luo shook his head to get rid of these "extra" thoughts and focused on the book.

[All three planes are parallel, neither precedes the other, thus my 'bullet fist technique' is actually an alignment of three planes that will allow you to learn three different 'ways of the fist' ]

[ Coming back to the Calming Fist.

To use it, you will have to enter its plane.

To enter the Calming Fist Plane, you have to master two steps. ]

[ First throw your fist at a strong target, just like before, a mountain will be the best training partner. ]

Zhao Luo glanced at the grey mountain and shrugged with a grin.

"Looks like the founder of this technique didn't have any friends..."

Zhao Luo laughed it off and proceeded to read further.

[ The only difference this time will be at the 'moment of contact'. ]

[ Throw a punch with your full force but before it hits the mountain's surface, dissipate your strength instantly such that when your fist which was launched with all your strength touches the surface, there is no sound of the collision. ]

"Wouldn't that break my arm?"

Zhao Luo questioned in a confused manner.

'Why throw a punch with full force in the first place when I have to dissipate all of my strength before it hits the surface?'

Zhao Luo couldn't understand the reason behind it except that it was another masterful way to harm one's self.

"The founder must be a masochistic pervert."

Zhao Luo smirked after which his gaze landed back on the page.

[ Sounds hard right? It may be hard but it isn't impossible. Since I can achieve it so can you. Once you can continuously punch with full force and get the above mentioned result then you can move to the second step ]

[ Now you will punch a water body. A silent pond would be best. Throw your fist at it, remember the technique. Once you can throw a calm fist that will neither produce a single sound nor a ripple in the water body, then consider yourself close to the Calming Fist Plane. ]

[ Once you can do the second step successfully a thousand times in a single sequence, only then will you be able to enter the Calming Fist Plane. ]

Thud!

Zhao Luo closed the book in a swift motion and got up from his spot.

He had his eyes closed as his lips started moving.

"So I have to punch the mountain a thousand times and not a sound should be produced while breaking my arm, who knows how many times and then punch any water body another thousand times without causing any disturbance to its flow."

Zhao Luo mumbled all that in a single breath.

A smile emerged on his face as he opened his eyes.

"Sounds easy!"

Zhao Luo's natural smile grew into an awkward one while he walked towards the mountain.
