22 Wrapped Around His Fingers (1/2)

The Vajra Subduing Devil Fist was a ferocious and tyrannical martial art. Although it was just an initial-grade low-tier martial art, its prowess wasn't weak and it had a total of nine moves.

Feng Lin kept pouncing forth, unafraid of death, clashing with his opponent head-on at the price of getting injured. He performed all nine moves of the Vajra Subduing Devil Fist, attacking the various critical points around the silicon giant, but the results were extremely depressing.

The silicon giant did not even lose a single hair...

Such actions of overestimating his own abilities might seem to be extremely foolish to other people—simply courting death. But Feng Lin was well aware that it wasn't as if he didn't gain anything at all.

The Vajra Subduing Devil Fist was his strongest move and if this martial technique could not do anything to his opponent...

Then it would mean that no matter what means Feng Lin chose to take, he would not be able to deal any damage to this enemy at all.

Feng Lin also felt the helplessness his previous opponents had felt when battling against him.

Although they were skilled in their martial arts and could deal great damages, they were unable to break through the opponent's defense!

But this didn't mean that Feng Lin was unable to win!

It was true that he couldn't hurt his opponent, but that didn't mean that he was unable to kill his opponent.

This might sound contradictory, but the idea was very simple. He was going to let the silicon giant harm itself.

Some people might find this idea extremely outrageous, but this was not impossible!

Which intelligent lifeform would injure themselves for no reason?

What these people didn't know was that there was a saying in martial arts implying to pay the person back in their own coin and that there was indeed a type of martial technique where one returned the opponent's force to themselves.

Jeet Kune Do [1], Taichi, Jujutsu [2]... all contained these martial principles.

”Hehe! Lowly carbon-based bug, are you ready to accept death? There's no space in the universe for your kind to survive. All of you disgusting bugs should be wiped out! ...” When the silicon giant saw that Feng wasn't moving an inch as if he had already given up, he immediately laughed hideously, and cold killing intent surged out like seawater.

A battle between ethnicities was one to the bitter death. There was no room for mitigation.

The silicon giant leaped up into the sky, surrounded by huge rocks around him, and then pounced out toward Feng Lin. It seemed to be unstoppable, wanting to crush Feng Lin into dregs.

At the sight of its aggressive demeanor, Feng Lin lowered his eyelids and didn't appear too anxious.

This shall be the starting point where the tables were going to be turned around.

Intense fighting will once again lit up in Feng Lin's eyes as he went charging out again.

Dodging the plummeting rocks, he clenched his fists, gathering his strength onto one point, and struck out fiercely toward his opponent. Things didn't seem different from before.

”This move again? Is he seeking death? It seems that he has no other tricks up his sleeves. This is where things are going to end!” At the sight of this, everyone shook their heads.

The silicon giant grinned hideously, not putting up any defense at all. Instead, it hammered both its fists down fiercely.

Seeing that both parties were about to clash head-on, the head-teachers shut their eyes, not daring to see the horrible sight of Feng Lin being bashed up by the giant's fists.

However, the scene that followed caused them to be astonished.

Feng Lin's attacks might seemed to be fierce, but just as he was about to hit his opponent, he instantly drew back. His body spun like a top, and the spinning force brought one of his legs across an arching trajectory, landing fiercely on the giant's right wrist.

The silicon giant's punch missed and its wrist suddenly received an immense force. Bending unnaturally, the force was sent off the course, drawing a strange angle and smashed out fiercely toward its own head.

The silicon giant seemed to have been struck with a heavy blow when its fist struck himself. Shaking and wavering, it dropped to the ground with a plop.

Everyone stood there agape at the scene and their mumblings stopped abruptly. All of them watched with eyes wide open and their jaws dropping, appearing very ridiculous.

”Interesting! It seems that Feng Lin has discovered something!” The principal muttered as an intense interest rose in him.

It wasn't just toward Feng Lin's talent, but also towards Feng Lin as a person.

Having been a principal for so many years, he had met geniuses of all sorts. It had been very long since he had met such an interesting student.

It was the right decision to have opened up the illusory martial pagoda!

...

”This is just a coincidence!”

”That's right. There is only one method to defeat the silicon giant—to unleash one's genetic abilities from afar. It's impossible to win in close combat against silicon-based lifeforms with their bodies being comparable to alloys!”

”It's futile to match against the silicon giant head-on no matter how high one's mastery in defensive martial arts is!”

...

At the sight of Feng Lin's astonishing strike, the head-teachers were all stunned for a short moment before they all agreed that this was just a coincidence.

They strongly believed in this, but at the next moment, it was as if they were given a smack in the face.

After being struck by its own fist, the silicon giant appeared to be in a daze as it stood up wavering, shaking its head.
