Use the pain as a source of strength. Wherever you feel the pain, try to control the sensation of pain and flow it directly into your fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know that you’ve succeeded when that feeling of pain transfers from one part of your body into that fist of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, master, I’ll try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still pretty confused about how he should do that and wished that he would give some more instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it sounded like that was going to be the only instruction he was getting at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For Read, try to anticipate where my attack is coming.

Something definitely broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaaaaarghhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon screamed in pain, and he dropped to the ground, and he immediately pulled off the blindfold and grabbed his broken knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaaaaarghhhhhhhhhh\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can get rid of that pain whenever you want. Just transfer that pain into your fist and punch the pain out of your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Fang Raon wasn’t listening anymore as he was gritting his teeth while clutching his knee in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the worst pains that he had felt in all his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he had some broken bones before, but this was something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that Rock would take it lightly for starters, but no, he immediately broke his knee instead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock scratched the back of his head, and he then took out a health potion from his inventory and made Raon drink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, a soothing sensation embraced Fang Raon, and the broken knee healed, and the pain disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drinking a health potion while being in actual pain felt much better than he had anticipated, as if he were taking some feel-good medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn’t you dodge it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock shrugged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha... My bad, master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He honestly just wanted to punch him in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put the blindfold back on. We’re not done just yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said with a cold smile, and he tapped the hard wooden bat against his hand, and Raon felt a cold chill run down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, grabbed the black blindfold from the ground, and put it back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is no different from when I was blind. I’ve lived over ten years as a blind person, so why am I struggling now? I’ve gotten far too comfortable to use my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I need to regress back to my former self. To my blind self. If I do that, I will be able to dodge his attacks.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Rock whipped the baseball bat back, waited a couple seconds, and then swung it again with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It is coming!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought, and he took a quick step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The baseball bat whizzed past his head. It nearly hit. If it had, he would’ve most likely crushed his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmph. It is easy to keep dodging if you just keep stepping backwards. But that is a mistake if you do that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock smirked, and he kept swinging the baseball bat, and Fang Raon just kept stepping backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he took one more step backwards, but he noticed that his foot didn’t land on anything solid, and he started falling backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped into the lake and got drenched from head to toe, and since he was still wearing the blindfold, he felt very disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t swim! Shit!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon felt like he was sinking deeper and deeper, and he tried flailing his arms and kicking his feet, but nothing seemed to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arm broke through the surface of the water, grabbed Raon by his hair, and pulled him straight out of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After landing back on the ground, he coughed water out of his lungs, still gasping for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really need to learn to swim, brat. It would be quite a tragedy if your death were a result of your inability to swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... I’ll put that in my to-do list.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon struggled to speak but managed to utter those words, and he then climbed back to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit back on the rock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tired nod, Fang Raon sat down with his clothes drenched, and he even felt his underwear being uncomfortably wet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock put the baseball bat to lean against a tree, and he then picked up several small pebbles from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be throwing some rocks at you. All you need to do is catch them. Simple, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Simple, sure...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon’s lip twitched, and he then put his hands in a catching stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock tossed one of the pebbles into the air, and he then quickly caught it and hurled it at Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pebble was flying through the air at an insane speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It went right between Fang Raon’s hands, and hit him directly in the solar plexus, and the air got knocked out of his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"UUURGHH\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon grabbed his chest, and he dropped to his knees, as he had a very hard time breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that it was just some harmless pebbles that he was going to throw, but it felt like he was hit by a sledgehammer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I-Is it because he threw that pebble with such strength? He is crazy, crazy, I am telling you!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the teachings of the Maxima and focused his concentration on the pain in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructions made it sound pretty easy. Just focus on the pain, transfer the pain elsewhere, and then remove it from your body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand how he could transfer the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to make the pain move to his fist, but literally nothing happened, and he felt like he was smashing his head into a wall, expecting a different result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It is better to keep instructions vague when it comes to Maxima. Everyone has a different way of transferring the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It took even geniuses of Dead Redemption months to learn how to do that, and then another month to learn how to remove the pain altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Raon is not more talented than they are. All he has to do is work extremely hard.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved the pebbles in hand, and then out of nowhere, he shouted, \"I am throwing the rest now. Good luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon lifted his blindfolded face, and at that moment, Rock threw the rest of the pebbles at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SMACK~! SMACK~! CRACK~!
