Punch after punch—after several rounds of this, Ai Hui remained unconscious. Fatty’s vigilance was put to rest.
“It seems I thought too much. I better make use of this once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to teach Ai Hui a lesson. I even have Lou Lan as my witness; the gods are really helping me this time! Hahaha!” Fatty sneered.
Thump thump thump!
Suddenly, Fatty felt his fists become numb. Taking a glance at Ai Hui, he was immediately startled. “Ahh! Why did he suddenly become fatter?”
Ai Hui’s body had become bloated and deformed like a swelled balloon.
“There’s too much elemental energy in his body. Right now, we’re using this method to ease the pressure in his body,” Lou Lan explained. “Lou Lan has to monitor the status of the elemental energy in his body, so I will have to leave the beating to you, Fatty.”
“No problem, leave it to me! I’m the best at easing pressure!” Fatty chirped.
Thump thump thump!
“The elemental energy is accumulating in his left cheek!”
“Right cheek!”
“His chin!”
Lou Lan’s glowing yellow eyes flickered constantly as he instructed Fatty on where to hit. By the time Fatty saw that Ai Hui’s head had been beaten into the shape of a pig’s, he felt accomplished.
“Fatty, use more strength!” Lou Lan instructed.
“Okay!” Fatty’s punches became heavier.
Time passed bit by bit, and Fatty was now drenched in sweat, unable to remember how many punches he had thrown. Ai Hui’s face was changed beyond recognition, and his body had swelled up by approximately two to three times.
If Fatty were to meet the current Ai Hui on the street, he definitely would not have recognized him.
However….
Fatty’s arms were so sore that he could not lift them, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. His throat was burning, as if molten lead had been poured into his mouth. It seemed as though he would stop breathing right there and die of exhaustion. Gasping for air, he asked, “Lou Lan… it’s… it’s nearly done, right? I have… I have no more strength!”
“Fatty, endure a bit more. It will be done soon.”
Lou Lan’s glowing yellow eyes flickered as he stared fixedly at Ai Hui’s body, observing the flow of elemental energy in his body with care.
“Shoulders!”
“Thighs!”
……
Lou Lan continued barking out commands, but Fatty’s body felt numb, his energy completely expended. He had yet to notice that his fists were swollen like steamed buns. Punching Ai Hui’s body had become similar to punching a porcupine.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Traces of razor-sharp elemental energy were emitting for Ai Hui’s pores continuously, making him remarkably like a thorny porcupine.
“Fatty, use more strength!” Lou Lan yelled.
Fatty vaguely perceived a commotion in the alleyway, but at this moment, the entirety of his attention was focused on Ai Hui, and he could not hear clearly.
“Lou—Lou Lan… I can’t do it anymore!” Fatty was shedding tears. He felt as though he would collapse from exhaustion at any time. How many punches had he thrown today? He must have thrown a lifetime’s worth.
“Fatty, persevere! It is a crucial time now!”
Lou Lan encouraged Fatty, his eyes never leaving Ai Hui’s body for even a split second. The flickering of his yellow eyes had become a blur. The amount of elemental energy in Ai Hui’s body was terrifying. Lou Lan could not understand why there was so much. How was it possible for Ai Hui to have remained safe and sound until now? If it were anyone else, they would have already exploded from the abundance of elemental energy!
The situation was at a critical point.
The two palaces in Ai Hui’s legs had opened, allowing his condition to improve momentarily. Despite that, however, the palaces in his limbs were being flooded and expanded brutally by the sword force. The speed of the palaces’ expansion could not catch up to the amount of elemental energy that was flooding in.
The forceful expansion of the palaces would damage the body severely. Lou Lan had many ways to deal with the damage done to the palaces in Ai Hui’s limbs, and so it was not too great of an issue. For the earth, sea, gate, and sky palaces to sustain injuries, however, the situation would become troublesome.
This was why the elemental energy in Ai Hui’s body had to be drained.
Punching Ai Hui’s body allowed some of the elemental energy in his body to be released. Throughout the whole process, Lou Lan had to monitor the elemental energy in his body to see if they over-accumulated in a certain area which would damage Ai Hui’s body. As such, he needed Fatty to carry out the punching.
Lou Lan had previously been worried that Fatty would not have enough energy. He never expected that Fatty would instead have so much energy left and punch with such force.
Such a good brother!
Lou Lan was praising the fatty in his heart. He was putting in all of his effort—only a true brother would sweat and toil so for his friend.
The fatty was really a good guy.
On the other hand, Fatty was unaware of Lou Lan’s admiration. He was on the verge of tears. Both of his fists were swollen, and every punch he threw was a torture. Why did he have to be the one to beat Ai Hui up? Was he punishing Ai Hui or himself?
Lou Lan, I want to train now!
Flutter kicks! Lunges! Anything will do!
One hundred sets, five hundred sets…. Any number of sets will do!
Fatty lamented sorrowfully as tears streamed down his cheeks.
Puff!
Fatty felt something amiss with his punch. It felt as though it had landed on a heap of cotton.
“Fatty, be careful!”
What’s there to be careful about….
The dazed Fatty failed to react in time. As if a dashing wild beast had crashed into him, his body flew backwards like a cannonball.
It finally ended….
