Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Trying eight more times, Zhao Luo raised his fist and punched the water surface the ninth time.

After punching it Zhao Luo stood up, with his back straight and his eyes focused on the water, he looked forward to seeing the results.

His gaze followed something.

The ripple.

He watched it patiently as it completed a loop but it didn\'t stop there.

The ripple was dying down but it still completed half of the cycle.

"Hmph."

Zhao Luo snickered at the ripple as though it was his enemy.

"My biggest enemy."

Zhao Luo groaned at it and proceeded to throw another punch at the water surface.

Following the teaching of the founder, he used all his force, and then right before the contact, \'woosh\', the strength diminished and Zhao Luo\'s fist touched the water.

\'REEEEE.\'

A screeching sound covered the pool stage.

"What?"

Zhao Luo was shocked for a moment and realized that there was no ripple on the surface of the water.

"That wasn\'t the splashing sound either."

Zhao Luo said as he sent both of his fists one after another towards the water.

\'REEEeeREEeee.\'

A screeching sound was heard again and before it died down another started while Zhao Luo felt like he was hitting a cushion.

Zhao Luo touched his knuckles with his fingertips and realized that they were wet.

"I have succeeded."

Zhao Luo shouted with excitement.

\'Glance>\'

\'<Glance.\'

He looked around to check how his apparitions were faring with their tasks.

"WoW."

To his surprise, they were already throwing fists left and right, and not even a single ripple was popping up.

"Is it because they are apparitions who are solely focused on one task?"

Zhao Luo wondered.

"Meh."

He didn\'t have time to think about how the brain of his apparitions worked while they were carrying out their tasks.

\'Woosh.\'

\'Woosh.\'

\'ReeeeReee.\'

Zhao Luo also started throwing multiple punches at the water in the pool.

After a few minutes.

Since Zhao Luo had already gotten the hang of it, he easily completed his part of thousand punches.

Thud!

Zhao Luo jumped down the stage and went towards his apparitions who were waiting for Zhao Luo while standing in a row showing their discipline.

"I am not even hurt, neither are they."

Zhao Luo was in his optimum condition just like his apparitions.

"The second step was way easier than the first one."

Zhao Luo mumbled while waving his hand at the apparitions.

In a split second all the apparitions were absorbed by him.

"Assimilatee~"

Zhao Luo said in a cold voice.

All the strength of the upgraded apparitions was entering Zhao Luo.

The 100 punches of his apparitions added on to his, reached the required mark of 1000 punches of step two as the assimilation ended.

"Huff."

Zhao Luo breathed out a thick fog.

His eyes were shining brighter than ever.

Zhao Luo went over to the mountain.

Standing three feet away from the mountain, he threw a punch at its surface.

His fist landed on the surface, but neither a noise came out from the place of contact nor a dent had appeared there.

"As expected..."

But a moment later.

BANG!

Zhao Luo heard a blasting sound.

"Did a bomb drop?"

Zhao Luo ran around the mountain and reached the backside of the mountain.

"What?"

Zhao Luo shouted as there was a big crack on the mountain and the rocks were still popping out of this place.

"Its exactly opposite to where I had punched "

Zhao Luo speculated and he was right.

"So this is what Calming fist is capable of. The surface wasn\'t even scratched but the backside of this mountain is getting demolished."

Zhao Luo rubbed his chin with surprise written all over his face and enthusiastic eyes.

\'Just how powerful have my fists gotten?\'

Zhao Luo pondered while looking at his finely shaped fists which looked filled, filled with muscles. Even the shapes of different muscles could be easily distinguished.

"WTF....six-packs on my hand."

Zhao Luo said funnily as he tightened his fists to flex those muscles.

"Is the bullet fist really a bronze technique?"

Zhao Luo questioned.

Even though he wasn\'t quite familiar with the difference in the strength of these techniques based on their color ranking but one thing that he was sure of was that this bullet fist was way more powerful than other techniques even those which had a higher rank.

"Like Senior Mite\'s uneven sword technique."

Zhao Luo compared his fist technique to Mite\'s sword technique which was, one whole stage above his fist technique in rank.

"Whatever!"

Zhao Luo shook his head and took out the Bullet Fist Book.

"Let\'s see."

Zhao Luo opened the book and flipped to the last page.

\'Ahem.\'

Zhao Luo cleared his throat before started reading the book.

[ WARNING: Do Not start your training to enter your fist for the calming fist plane right after entering the explosive fist plane. Rest for a month or two is needed otherwise extreme pain and swelling will haunt your arms during the training. ]

"Gah, I should have flipped the page back then. But why is the warning after the whole training method was explained on the last page?"

Zhao Luo sighed but even if he had read this warning, the limited time he had didn\'t allow him to rest for so long.

Zhao Luo proceeded to read further of the founder\'s writing.

[ If you are here, then I expect that you have already trained your fists to the extreme and have entered the calming fist plane that is parallel to the explosive fist plane. ]

"I have."

Zhao Luo answered to the writing of the founder.

[ Good job, my DISCIPLE. ]

"Thank you."

\'But I still haven\'t accepted you as my master.\'

Zhao Luo paid his gratitude to the founder.

Even though he wasn\'t here, it didn\'t matter. All that mattered was Zhao Luo had been able to train his fists to an extreme level.

[ You must have already realized how great the calming fist is. ]

[ Once you hit the target with your calming fist, he will drop his guard seeing the powerless attack, and then the next moment his back will be crushed. ]

[ The power that is vanished before the fist hits the enemy is transferred to the enemy\'s body but it travels in a straight path. That may be its only weakness ]

[ Before I tell you about the bullet fist, you need to know something. ]

"..."

[ The explosive fist plane and calming fist plane are like oil and water. They can\'t mix. One destroys the enemy in a single attack at the point of contact while the other destroys the enemy\'s inside. But the bullet fist DOES both in a single attack from a fist. ]

"What?"

Zhao Luo was shocked after learning how capable bullet fist was.
