Chapter 150 - 100th, The Last Turn
n
n
nZhao Luo who instantly closed the windows to his soul, had his hands clasped in front of him.
nThe back of Zhao Luo's hands looked swollen and had a fiery glow while the part where his knuckles were looked thicker but had a mysterious sharpness embodied in them.
nZhao Luo hadn't realized such changes as he was completely focused on recovering for the last round.
nHis apparitions had also completed their 99th turn and were recovering along with Zhao Luo.
nIt was like the chaotic battlefield that had been continuing in the dark space for more than 18 hours had ended abruptly.
nWith the last turn remaining, Zhao Luo who should have been eager to finish it looked calmer than usual.
n'No need to hurry.'
nZhao Luo thought oppressively.
nThe force of his thought was signaled to all of his apparations who were also recovering.
nAfter a few minutes, Zhao Luo who had been silently breathing opened his eyes and started pulling in air.
n
"Huffffff
"
nAfter inhaling to the limit, Zhao Luo released all the captured breath.
n
"Ahhh.
"
nAs he exhaled, Zhao Luo got up.
nEven though he tried his best to keep himself calm as he closed in on the end of the Explosive Fist Plane, but Zhao Luo couldn't as he felt his heart thumping loudly.
nZhao Luo clenched his fist and stepped towards the dark grey mountain.
n
"Mini Walk!
"
nZhao Luo said two words lightly and slightly lowered his body.
n'Tap, Tap.'
nin a few steps, he blinked from his earlier spot and appeared in front of the mountain.
n
"I have gotten better.
"
nZhao Luo praised himself.
nMini Step was an efficient version of half walk.
nAn upgrade of his Half Walk.
nBefore Zhao Luo was able to move a distance of around 8 meters but that was his limit.
nAnother limitation of Half Walk was that Zhao Luo could use his Half Walk in a linear position but now the 'Mini Walk' which was an improvement of the straight technique, allowed Zhao Luo to appear in a radius of 3 meters, wherever he intended.
nHe could use it multiple times while keeping the distance short.
nThis control started increasing after the 70th turn when Zhao Luo realized that he could freely shorten the distance that he was covering with Half Walk by lowering the number of toes he was using for this technique.
nThen he realized another thing which proved to him that this Mini Walk was indeed an improved version of Half Walk.
n
"There is no strain on my legs.
"
nZhao Luo said as he started shaking his head to focus on the task at hand.
nBang!
nBang!
nZhao Luo's apparitions had already started throwing their fists at the mountain.
nZhao Luo glanced at them and then looked back at the mountain with his palm brushing over the 'dark grey with a red shade' surface of the mountain.
n'This is where I have thrown more than a million punches.
"
nZhao Luo said with calm eyes.
nA fire could be seen rising in his eyes.
nThe fire was the embodiment of his desire to achieve the Explosive Fist Plane.
nSeeing the still fine surface of the mountain, Zhao Luo's desire to enter the explosive fist plane grew even more.
nHe couldn't wait to destroy this mountain.
nZhao Luo pulled his hand back and closed it to make a fist.
nDoing the same to his other hand, Zhao Luo was ready to start his last turn.
n
"Huff.
"
nTaking a breather, he pulled his right fist further back.
nThen.
n'Whoosh.'
nFollowing a space cutting sound, Zhao Luo's fist moved towards the mountain.
nBANG!
nBANG!
nTwo sounds echoed out in the tenth part of the second, but Zhao Luo had thrown his fists four times in that tiny split of a second.
nZhao Luo with a sharp look in his eyes gazed straight at the contact point on the surface of the mountain while throwing these explosive punches.
nAfter four minutes, Zhao Luo's demeanor had changed from calm and partially eager to that of an angry person.
n
"AHHH!
"
nBANG!
nBANG!
nZhao Luo would shout after hundreds or so punches to keep the momentum going.
nWith a loud shout and hundreds of punches coming after it, the 100th turn was truly an extremely torturous round for him.
nThere were two reasons behind this.
nFirst, his speed and power had exceeded even what he was expecting and that of any practitioner even if they were above Zhao Luo's level.
nZhao Luo was throwing around 40 punches a second.
nThat was 20 punches with each arm in a second.
nSecondly, his endurance had increased to an absurd level after punching like a mad dog for 99 turns straight.
nJust the last turn, he had been punching almost like this turn and still had to go on for 9 minutes or so while bearing a pain that was next to unbearable even for him.
nOnly then he was able to finish his 99th turn.
n
"AHHHHH~
"
nZhao Luo shouted again as he threw his fists at the mountain.
nBANG!
nBANG!
nThe whole dark space was once again reversed back to a chaotic battlefield.
n---- ---- ---- ----
nThree minutes later, Zhao Luo's apparitions moved back from the mountain.
nTheir black fists were swollen like melons.
nThe bones in their hands had already been shattered to countless pieces.
nThus showing the sign of their 100th turn ending.
nThey all sat down and started recovering.
nA minute later after a hundred or so, punching sounds which echoed loudly like a 'BANG!', Zhao Luo had also completed the last round.
nHe looked back, and started moving away from the mountain.
nZhao Luo didn't try to recover, even though he was exhausted to the point of collapsing but he still forcefully held himself up and walked towards his apparitions.
n
"Ab-absorb!
"
nZhao Luo mumbled.
nJust one command caused all of his apparitions to mix, creating a dark gigantic shadow that seeped inside Zhao Luo, through his mouth.
nThese apparitions had definitely improved by leaps and bounds but they hadn't recovered yet.
nWithout caring about their recovery, Zhao Luo had already absorbed them.
n
"Assimilate.
"
nZhao Luo thought while standing on his spot.
n'This is it. I did it.'
nZhao Luo congratulated himself as the assimilation process was still ongoing, that is, a process similar to digestion was taking place inside him.
nThe apparitions were the food source here.
nDuring assimilation, Zhao Luo felt strange.
nHis eyes rolled up and he started shivering.
n
"Gahhh, Whattt?
"
nZhao Luo cried out as his body shivered even more intensely.
n
