Chapter 521
"This shouldn't even be called a fist technique—at best, it's just swinging a punch."
Luo En laughed, "The Dao is simplest."
I haven't studied martial arts deeply; I've always focused on refining my physical body.
If I can maximize the power of a single punch, that's success to me.
But this path is extremely arduous; each step might make you doubt yourself.
When setbacks come, you see no hope for tomorrow.
Yet despite all that, I believe I've held on."
With that, he swung his fist again.
The power of this punch nearly shattered the air.
The dojo trembled, unable to withstand it.
Luo En didn't use his full strength; he knew if he did, the dojo would collapse instantly.
But he had concentrated the energy into a tightly controlled range.
Thus, every punch he threw had been meticulously calculated.
This energy wouldn't affect the dojo.
Yet it could strike the air, releasing scorching heat.
This was a perfect fusion of speed and power.
More difficult than blasting the entire dojo apart.
But Luo En achieved it—not just achieved it, but did it perfectly.
This skill left Banggu deeply impressed.
Masters all sense each other's true strength.
Banggu realized he was no match for Luo En.
He had previously clung to hope, thinking Luo En had merely gotten lucky.
He believed that if he suddenly unleashed his full power, he could crush Luo En.
But Luo En's displayed strength utterly humbled him.
"I never imagined you were this strong."
Banggu looked at Luo En, his eyes filled with admiration.
The unstructured fist technique Luo En had just used contained terrifying energy.
Each punch nearly made the air shriek with violent vibrations.
Banggu knew he couldn't achieve this even if he gave his all.
His sister watched, stunned. She had thought Luo En was seeking guidance from Banggu.
Maybe Banggu would teach him one or two moves; she could observe closely and learn something.
She never imagined Luo En, a B-Class Hero, had utterly defeated an S-Class Hero.
He had made Banggu submit completely.
How could this be?
Who is this? How could anyone possess such power?
The sister looked again at Luo En, her eyes filled with confusion and shock.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
After the battle ended, the sister stepped forward.
"You—how is this possible?" she asked, astonished.
Luo En said, "Don't trust what your eyes show you."
Trust what you sense."
Many things in this world are deceptive.
If you believe only what you see is real,
you'll easily be fooled."
At these words, the sister suddenly knelt before Luo En.
"Teach me. I want to become your disciple."
Luo En said, "I'm not good at teaching.
What I teach may not suit you at all."
But the sister insisted on learning from Luo En.
She could see his power now surpassed even S-Class Heroes.
If he could teach her even a little, her progress would be immense.
Even if she never became an A-Class Hero, she could at least secure a place among B-Class Heroes.
After countless defeats, her confidence had been shattered.
She didn't believe she could grow strong, or become more powerful.
Just a small improvement would satisfy her.
Yet over this long time,
she hadn't even been able to maintain that small progress.
Many battles had shown her the advantage of true strength.
Only by growing stronger could she hope to defeat more monsters.
But her power had remained stagnant.
This made her extremely frustrated.
She had also considered all sorts of ways to enhance her own strength.
She even went to seek other people as Masters.
But the things others taught her, she simply could not integrate or comprehend.
She learned very little indeed.
At least she could not help but doubt whether she had any talent for becoming a Hero.
Perhaps she was simply not suited for combat.
Yet everyone in her family was striving desperately to become a Hero.
If she could not become a Hero,
then in this family,
what position did she truly hold? She dared not imagine.
She also dared not face her parents' disappointed gazes.
So she forced herself to keep rushing forward on this path toward becoming a Hero.
But when she saw that her utmost effort was merely someone else's starting point,
she felt an immense sense of defeat.
Luo En gazed at his sister's sincere eyes.
He also felt her desperate longing for power.
He said, "I can teach you, but whether you can master it, I don't know."
His sister nodded eagerly.
"As long as you're willing to teach me, I'm already content."
Bang Gu smiled beside them.
"Congratulations, you've taken on another disciple."
The sister looked up in surprise. "Another Master?"
She was puzzled—had Luo En previously taken on another disciple?
Xiao Yi walked over with a grin.
"Yeah, his previous disciple was me."
But this time, Luo En knew that Bang Gu would never agree to help him teach his sister.
So he had to take charge himself.
Luo En said, "To become a stronger person, you must first solidify the Root.
The Root is the foundation of everything; without it, it's like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water."
