Chapter 18 The Shattered Sky
Early in the morning, Instructor Wang Xiao's voice had already spread throughout the entire training ground. For this sacred place of martial arts, this was the rallying cry for the disciples to get up and practice in the morning.
In the central plaza of the dojo, thousands of martial artists dressed in training uniforms were sweating profusely in unison. At the very front was Diaz, known as the exemplary senior brother and universally recognized as a kind-hearted man throughout the dojo.
Diaz spoke gently, informing the people around him about their boxing techniques.
However, while Diaz outwardly smiled like a kind old father, he was frantically calculating the time in his mind.
"It's already 7:15 in the morning... Why hasn't that damn bastard arrived yet?" Diaz's eyes involuntarily darted toward the entrance of the dojo.
For the past five years, at this time every day, Prince L77 named Kaul would faithfully hold that fat, white maggot and torture him in an extremely disgusting and manipulative way. He lived in Kaul's nightmare every day. He had already decided that once he mastered the Power Breaking Bull Fist, he would be the first to kill him. No... torturing him would be better!
But Kaul was late today? Did he have a change of heart?
Just as Diaz was secretly pleased, thinking he had finally escaped this ordeal, a voice that made his blood pressure spike instantly came over.
"Senior Brother Dias! I'm here!"
Diaz was so angry he almost choked. He forcibly suppressed the twitching at the corner of his mouth that was about to burst out, and turned around with a look of surprise: "Oh! It's Junior Brother Kaul. You seem to be a little later than usual today. Did you get up late? Is it because you're too tired from training? If you're too tired, you can ask Instructor Wang Xiao for a rest."
Kaul jogged over, carrying the chubby little white cat in his arms. Today, Kaul's face was full of "eagerness for knowledge" and "gratitude," and his eyes even had a slight redness around them, which he was very into character.
"Senior brother! Last night I studied the theory of 'acupoints and qi and blood' in the ancient book D60, and suddenly I had an extremely brilliant idea!" Kaul looked up at Diaz with an admiring gaze, his voice loud enough for all the disciples around him to hear clearly.
This is the persona he presents to his disciples and Diaz; although it's strange, most people don't realize it at all.
"I've discovered that martial artists like you, who practice fist techniques for many years, inevitably develop blockages and hidden injuries in the meridians of your back due to the immense explosive power you bear year after year!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples all stopped what they were doing and looked at Diaz, wanting to find out the truth.
"My God, Senior Brother Diaz is silently enduring such immense pain to protect everyone and to improve his martial arts?"
"No wonder my senior brother always twitches from time to time; he's carrying such a heavy burden!"
Diaz felt his heart was about to stop, almost losing his life in vain, but that extremely ominous premonition made him quickly wave his hand: "Junior brother, you flatter me. My body has been tempered and refined countless times, what are a few minor internal injuries..."
"No! Senior brother!" Kaul stepped forward and grabbed Diaz's wrist. "I will never forget your kindness in teaching me! So, today I specially taught Xiaobai a long-lost skill, the 'One Trillion Degree High Temperature Muscle Relaxation and Blood Circulation Therapy'! Commonly known as cupping combined with acupressure!"
"What the hell?!" Diaz finally lost his composure, and his voice changed.
"Zeeton!" Little White called out in perfect unison, raising its two chubby, short arms. Then, Little White's two originally soft and cute little hands visibly turned dark red, and the surrounding air instantly distorted due to the high temperature.
Kaur shouted excitedly, "Senior Brother! Xiaobai can perfectly compress the heat of a trillion-degree fireball into his palm. With just a gentle press on a few acupoints on your back, he can instantly open up your Ren and Du meridians! In the entire dojo, only a powerful being like you, who has achieved physical sainthood, can withstand this level of treatment! Others might want to do it, but they can't handle it!"
The surrounding disciples had been completely brainwashed by Kaul's speech and began to stir up trouble:
"Senior Brother Diaz, Junior Brother Kaul's filial piety... no, his sincere heart!"
"Yes, senior brother, why don't you let Xiaobai try? We really want to see your invincible prowess in withstanding the high temperature with your bare body!"
Perched high on the moral and physical high ground, Diaz was practically grinding his teeth to powder. He, the ultimate life form of the Absolut race, was to have his back scalded by a mere insect in front of everyone?! Such a low-level tactic!
"Alright...alright! Since junior brother has such a kind intention, senior brother...I will accept it without hesitation!" Diaz practically squeezed out these words through clenched teeth, obediently turning around to reveal his back.
Sometimes Diablo actually believed that Caul had bribed all his disciples to conspire and make fun of him. He couldn't tell the difference between good and bad words, and he couldn't see what Caul was doing!
Kaul was inwardly laughing wildly, but outwardly he appeared cautious.
Little White jumped onto Diaz's back and placed its two bright red little hands on Diaz's shoulders without any hesitation.
"Sizzle—!!!"
Accompanied by the sound of grilling meat, a strong smell of burnt meat filled the air.
"Hiss!!" Diaz clenched his fists instantly. This was a trillion degrees Celsius! He felt like his shoulders were being burned alive!
"Senior brother! Hold on! This is the burning of stagnant blood! Oh my, senior brother's muscles are actually trembling slightly. He is indeed absorbing this power to temper his body! That's amazing! Xiao Bai, give it your all and give senior brother's waist a couple of whacks too!" Kaur was stirring things up wildly from the side.
"Zeeton!" Little White answered happily, running up Diaz's lower back with his short legs and pressing down with his two little hands again.
"Ugh..." Diaz finally couldn't hold back and let out a cry, a single tear even welling up in his eye. He swore that once he mastered the secrets of the Mighty Bull-Breaking Fist, the first thing he would do was tear this bastard named Caul and this bug to shreds! He wouldn't let them live!
Just as Kaul was having a great time and was about to have Little White give Diaz a "one trillion degree full-body massage", something unexpected happened!
He sensed the presence of a monster, and his fighting device lit up immediately. Kaul looked up and saw that the sky was still clear, but both the fighting device and he himself believed that a monster was present. However, he remained very vigilant and shouted loudly to those around him.
"Everyone! Watch out for the sky!"
Just as Kaul finished speaking, the clear sky of D60 suddenly emitted the sound of shattering glass. Immediately afterwards, the space above the horizon began to distort in an extremely strange way. The originally blue sky was like glass that had been shattered, revealing a dark purple other-dimensional space.
