Chapter 176 - Pretty Boy Vs The Loud Mouth III

nZhao Luo looked at the smiling Pi Hao.
n'Why is he thanking me?'
nHe wondered as he found Pi Hao staring down looking at his hands.
nThe number of times Zhao Luo had fought could be counted on the fingers of his hands.
nAll the fights he had shared a similarity.
nAnd that similarity was his opponent being weaker than him and even if they were close to Zhao Luo's level, they were only able to push him to his limits.
nThus he had never surpassed his limits in any of his few fights.
nContrary to Zhao Luo, Pi Hao had already lost the battle of fists in both power and tenacity, yet the moment he gave up, his burning emotions that declined his defeat, helped him in breaking through his limits, leaving Zhao Luo in confusion.
nPi Hao knew that he had reached the expert level in Metal Fist Technique.
nAs he focused on his arms, a shade of grey and blue was visible on his hands.
n'Before I could only use the Water Metal Fist but now I can easily switch between the metal core and water core before my fist touches the target while also using the 'hardened water palm' without any restrictions.'
nPi Hao understood the new limits of his abilities.
nThe Metal Water technique was based on the principle of the characteristic of two different cores combined as one.
nA hard reflecting metallic core and a soft absorbing water core.
n Water Metal Fist
nThe fist attack that Pi Hao had been using before helped him in not only absorbing the power of Zhao Luo's fists but also deflecting that power before it reached his wrist, thus letting Pi Hao block a fist that could put giant dents on a tungsten mountain.
nNow Pi Hao was at the expert level of Metal Water technique that is gaining deep insight into his technique and new limits.
n-
nZhao Luo looked at Pi Hao who had been staring at his fists for a few seconds after thanking him and was baffled while he wondered if this fight would resume or not.
n'Should I give him a surprise attack?'
nZhao Luo thought but shook his head right after that.
nIt wasn't like Zhao Luo was a person who didn't like fighting in a sneaky manner but instead, this fight with Pi Hao was a fight that had started because of a misunderstanding on Pi Hao's side thus Zhao Luo slowly opened his mouth rather than going at Pi Hao who was lost in his thoughts.
n
"Hey. Are you going to keep on standing there like a statue? Or Have you given up since you are thankful to me?
"
n'For some reason!'
nZhao Luo questioned Pi Hao. There was no trembling in his tone showing that he wasn't joking when he asked Pi Hao if Pi Hao had given up on the fight.
n
"No, since I have thanked you for something then I should show you what that gratitude was all about!
"
nPi Hao said with a grin on his face.
nHis confidence had shot by a mile after reaching the expert level of Metal Water Technique.
n'If I don't try against a guy like you then it would be meaningless.'
nPi Hao had decided on continuing the fight otherwise where else would he find a disciple similar to his level whose expertise is also similar to him that is the fist technique.
n
"Then Come.
"
nZhao Luo told Pi Hao as he was getting tired while waiting for him.
n
"AHHHHHH~
"
nPi Hao jumped at Zhao Luo while releasing a heavy roar.
n
"Good.
"
nZhao Luo complimented Pi Hao's spirit which showed that Pi Hao was just getting started.
n
"But that goes for me too.
"
nZhao Luo mumbled.
nHe pulled back his right fist.
nRight at the moment, when Pi Hao's fist reached Zhao Luo,
n'Whoooosh.'
nZhao Luo threw his fist at Pi Hao's oncoming attack using his tactic on him.
n
"Metal Water Fist.
"
nPi Hao shouted once again right before his fist touched Zhao Luo's fist.
nThis attack of Pi Hao was different than his previous attack which was the Water Metal Fist.
nSince the cores were changed thus the power of the fist changed along with it making it an extremely offensive attack like Zhao Luo's explosive fist.
n
"Bang!
"
n
"BOOM.
"
nThe moment both fists touched, a sound was released on their collision and another blasting sound from Pi Hao's fist followed the 'Bang!' caused by the collision.
nBoth fists were stopped as if announcing a draw of this momentary collision.
nPi Hao who was hoping to overpower Zhao Luo's fist was slightly shocked by the result that he couldn't push back Zhao Luo's fist not even by an inch while also realizing that this attack of Zhao Luo was quite different than all of his previous ones.
nThe next instant Pi Hao felt his arm tremble while he was looking at Zhao Luo's handsome face.
nZhao Luo slowly opened his mouth.
n
"Calming Fist.
"
nZhao Luo's sound entered Pi Hao's ear as he heard a cracking sound from the bones in his arm.
n
"Even if you can block the power of my fist head-on, there is no way you can block the destructive energy of my calming fist that lied dormant in you for an instant.
"
nZhao Luo told Pi Hai who was backing as he held his right arm with his left hand.
n
"Agh.
"
nPi Hao let out a tragic groan showing how much pain he was in.
n'Drip, Drip.'
nHis blood fell to the stage drop after drop as there was a tear around his elbow clearly showing that his joint was more or less fuc-wrecked.
n
"If you had such an attack, why didn't you use it before?
"
nPi Hao complained while shouting at Zhao Luo.
n'Tap, Tap.'
n
"Hah, why would I show all of my cards to my opponent?
"
nZhao Luo shrugged as he walked towards Pi Hao whose eyes shook.
n
"I can't feel it.
"
nPi Hao mumbled while Zhao Luo closed in on him.
nHe was talking about his right arm as it went numb because the amount of blood loss had already exceeded the limit that Pi Hao could be careless about.
n
"Just admit defeat.
"
n'Tap, Tap.'
nZhao Luo who stopped three feet away from Pi Hao said to him.
n
"Admit Defeat?
"
nPi Hao's sight shook again.
