Chapter 2: The Awakening

As Xu Jie’s fist thrust out froer hold back his actions as one blow led to the next in a flurry of blows His entire body became a storm, as his strikes resounded like thunder and his kicks flashed like lightning His stance was solid to the point that the basic cornerstone fist technique flowed smoothly unlike anyone else’s

Froe, Xu Jie practiced the cornerstone fist at every possible hest winters and the harshest suardless of any weather condition he continued to drill the movements into his very bone Not only did he practice at the institute, but at his part-tih Xu Jie hasn’t awakened his potential despite eight years of intense practice, his physical body had already been trained to the uppermost limits[1]

TLN: Not actually sure if it’s the uppermost limits of cultivators or just a normal human Scratch that it’s probably humans

Xu Jie’s h the motions He mentally created a scene of a fierce storm, with him at its center Within the eye of the typhoon, he created thunderclaps with his fist and slashed apart the curtain of rain, disintegrating the solid wall into tiny droplets

“HOU, HA!… …” thesounds of practitioners echoed in the student’s hearts as it sparked their very soul and spirit, engraving itself upon them like an ancient chant And despite the absence of the drums, Xu Jie’s movements became several fold an to reseer [2]

TLN Note: My original edit of an enraged gorilla was overruled in favor of the hungry tiger But hey crazy gorilla works right? I actually wanted to put like an Alpha Kangaroo, have you seen how big those things are… Shudder they crush metal buckets for fun WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL DOES THAT!?

As the chant slowly faded into the background, the beat of dru more and more intense as it neared the climax The phantom cavalry finally reached their ene arh hear each other’s breath, and easily close enough to exchange life threatening blows

Xu Jie’sa for illusionsary ies that soon faded into the void, only to be replaced by another

The students who took shelter within the building looked through the s and observed Xu Jie Those who knew of his background started to heckle and mock him heartlessly

“What an idiot, he still has so !”

“Idiot! Does that fool think that he can awaken by practicing in the rain or so?”

“He’s already past the best age to awaken, which is fro effort won’t allow you to perform such a miracle”

“Without anyone backing hiround It’s a fool’s dreaive up sooner, and stop these worthless attempts!”

Du Xing Yu hugged Xu Xue Rou’s waist with an expression full of contenth the hallway, he noticed Xu Jie practicing He rolled his eyes, throwing the thought of Xu Jie aside In his eyes Xu Jie was but an insignificant ant, especially in light of his power and background

Xu Xue Rou also wiped the thought of Xu Jie away fro Yu In her eyes, there were feelings of pity, and guilt, but there was nothing she could do She giggled as Du Xing Yu’s hand beca

RN: I swear this girl is like bipolar, s towards her I can’t tell if I hate her s Like one sentence makes me like her, the next makes me hate her

Xu Jie naturally wasn’t aware of the fact that people were talking behind his back, however he becah at a glance, his practice of techniques may just seem like a flurry of punches and kicks, but with another look, it became clear exactly how much he wanted a name for himself, to become someone as respected

Xu Jie’s movements were more fluid and easier on the body as he practiced today, this ht have been because of the sudden storm that refreshed his body, but he soon found that his heart pulsed with his h the air, his heart see cleansed by the cornerstone fist’s techniques
