304: Chapter 304 Death Tornado, Nail Fist!

Chapter 304: Death Tornado, Nail Punch!

Inside the dim room.

A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes stared intently outside the window.

[Remember the website domain of Taiwan Novel Network, which has a vast collection of books at twkan.com for you to read]

The rain was falling too heavily.

Like an airtight curtain shrouding the entire city.

With an ordinary person's vision, it was simply impossible to see the scenery dozens of meters away.

The girl's pale face pressed against the cold glass, and her slender, pretty nose tip was almost flattened.

In her pupils, a faint yet exceptionally bright light flickered as she struggled to capture the coastal scenery nearly a kilometer away.

On the beach ravaged by the rainstorm, that blurry figure stopped running at top speed.

Then, he slowly walked toward the turbulent sea surface, step by step, unwavering.

Every time a wave surged over, it seemed as if it wanted to completely swallow and sweep him away.

But the next second, the figure would emerge again from the rolling white foam, as steady as a monolith.

"Could that person... be preparing to have a duel with the sea?"

The girl sat in a wheelchair, whispering silently as her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

Since childhood, she had also encountered some unusual people and experienced things unimaginable to ordinary people.

But the scene before her still gave her an inexplicable sense of shock.

This was not just a display of strength, but more like a near-mad self-tempering and cultivation.

...

The sky was as dark as ink, and the rainstorm showed no signs of stopping.

The fierce wind roared like an angry behemoth, gathering the cold rain and lashing down head-on toward the sea surface and that lonely figure.

The seawater had long since flooded over Fang Cheng's knees, piercingly cold, with the chill penetrating the marrow.

The surging waves arrived one after another, carrying a huge dragging force as if trying to drag him into an endless abyss.

Fang Cheng stood in the sea, sinking his waist and firming his stance, striking a standard Boxing combat posture.

His fists were tightly clenched, guarding both sides of his cheeks, and his gaze was as sharp as a falcon's, tightly locking onto the rolling, roaring rows of giant waves rushing forward.

Seeming to regard this surging ocean as the most powerful enemy——

An indefatigable opponent with infinite strength.

And he was now going to use the most powerful combat skills to fight against it!

"Infinite Combo——"

This skill special effect mastered a week ago clearly emerged in Fang Cheng's mind.

[Within 0.5 seconds, throwing over 100 consecutive punches can form a hurricane-like fist pressure, causing impact to all targets within a linear range]

[The more punches thrown, the greater the power, and when reaching the limit count, if the fist directly hits the target, it will trigger the finisher "Death Tornado", causing devastating effects.]

100 consecutive punches within 0.5 seconds!

This meant that from retracting the fist to completing the swing again, the entire cycle process could be at most 0.005 seconds.

Assuming the length of an adult's fist movement trajectory is 0.8 meters, the average speed of a single punch must reach over 320 meters per second.

Under standard atmospheric pressure, this speed was infinitely close to the speed of sound.

It could be described as terrifying to the extreme!

Without considering external factors, with Fang Cheng's currently far-surpassing ordinary people's Physique, the condition of reaching this average punching speed was not a fantasy.

However, actual combat situations were far more complex than ideal.

First was air resistance.

When the fist speed approached the speed of sound, air resistance would grow exponentially, and every punch felt like pushing an invisible wall.

What was even more terrifying was that sonic punches would produce a shock wave effect.

This effect not only had astonishing reaction force, but the powerful impact and shock it brought would also cause knife-like injuries to the arms.

Secondly was the body load.

The instantaneous twist of the joints, the extreme stretch and contraction of muscle fibers, the violent friction between the skin and air...

Various factors superimposed together, testing body strength far beyond imagination.

For ordinary people, throwing 10 punches per second could lead to joint dislocation or muscle tearing.

And sonic punches had requirements for bone strength, muscle toughness, and skin tolerance that were harsh to a non-human degree.

Finally, there was the degree of neural response and control.

Whether the brain could precisely control the power, angle, and trajectory of each punch in such a short time to ensure they wouldn't lose accuracy due to excessive speed.

This required neural reflex speed and body control ability akin to a Prodigy.

If it were just simply throwing a few punches, Fang Cheng figured he could still barely manage it.

But if he wanted to truly master it and execute it at will in combat, both body and mind had to reach an unprecedented height.

While his thoughts were spinning, another wave of giant waves had lunged before his eyes like a beast.

That overwhelming oppressive feeling was enough to make any ordinary person panic and lose their wits!

At the very moment when the crest of the wave was about to slap against his body——

Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly took a deep breath, his chest swelling up.

The muscles all over his body were like steel bars twisted to the limit, and his Aura also climbed to the peak at this moment!

The next instant, his arms moved!

Bang bang bang bang—— bang bang bang bang——

Like heavy machine guns roaring continuously, dense explosions suddenly erupted.

In a flash, Fang Cheng's arms turned into countless blurry fist shadows.

Every punch carried the screech of tearing the air and the sonic boom impacting the wind and rain.

Countless fist shadows intertwined, forming an impregnable fortress constructed of pure strength before him.

The violent airflow whipped up by the fists converged into visible miniature hurricanes, sweeping forward horizontally.

Forcibly pushing outward the giant waves pressing over like a mountain, forming a brief vacuum zone.

The surging seawater following closely behind, the moment it contacted this fist shadow storm, also collided with an invisible dam, being forcibly blocked and torn apart.

Astoundingly—— rolling backward!

The attacks superimposed by hundreds of punches actually forcibly changed the flow direction of the waves.

But this wasn't enough!

Fang Cheng's eyes bloomed with sharp light, core strength erupting to the limit.

All the fist force was highly condensed at this moment, the muscles of his arms bulging, and veins popping out.

The skin became scorching hot and crimson due to violent friction with the air, resembling two pieces of red-hot steel.

Boom——

He struck out with both arms, wrapping matchless fist power, heavily smashing toward the endlessly rolling sea surface ahead.

Finisher, Death Tornado!

The seawater, as if a giant bomb had been dropped into it, suddenly exploded toward both sides.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a violent spiral Qi energy, like a tornado born out of thin air, roared and swept everything away.

The huge fan-shaped water wave was forcibly pushed aside, revealing the seabed below covered with gravel and shells.

Its power was so strong that it seemed as if it wanted to split this sea area into two!

It was simply like recreating the overwhelming peerless divine skills in Wuxia movies.

The torn seawater turned into an all-pervading "heavy rain", mixed with the original rainwater, crashing down one after another.

Then, the pushed-aside seawater, under the action of gravity, surged back toward the center with an even fiercer posture.

A series of extreme eruptions also consumed Fang Cheng's stamina to an extremely huge extent.

He slowly retracted his chest rising and falling violently, panting heavily in big breaths.

The skin of his arms was entirely red, muscles twitching slightly, and there was even a faint burnt smell coming from his arms.

That was the heat generated by the high-speed friction between the skin and the air.

Sizzle——

Fang Cheng unhesitatingly plunged his scorching arms into the cold seawater.

A burst of white steam transpired upward, making a harsh sound.

After a long while, the burning pain in his arms eased slightly.

He closed his eyes, carefully savoring that earth-shattering strike from just now.

The power of the "Infinite Combo" was unquestionable, but the consumption was equally astonishing.

Moreover, at extreme speed, there was still a lot of room for improvement in the precision and power control of the fists.

After all, what he would need to face in the future were living enemies, not dead objects that wouldn't dodge like waves.

"If... the fist shadows I strike out are not dispersed, but all concentrated on a single point?"

A thought flashed across Fang Cheng's mind like lightning.

That's right!

His fists could completely, like a pile driver, strike concentratedly and rapidly toward a fixed point.

Striking out multiple fists in an instant to carry out continuous strikes, causing piercing destructive power deep inward.

The more times the fists struck, the greater the destructive power caused naturally.

The accuracy of his punches just now was not enough, and the direction had some dispersion.

Although the striking surface became larger, for a single enemy at close range, the power was much weaker.

If the movement amplitude of the fists was reduced to the limit, compressing the attack time to the extreme.

It became a special Punching techniques focused on a single point, resembling repeatedly chiseling a nail to wedge it into the attacked object.

This... in a manga he had read before, was the ultimate move named "Nail Punch"!

Splash——

Another wave of sea waves lunged over, instantly engulfing Fang Cheng.

But it only lasted for a split second.

When the crest retreated, he revealed his figure again like a reef in the sea, standing unmoving.

The ocean seemed to be issuing a provocation, trying to swallow this weak human who dared to shake its majesty head-on.

Fang Cheng's expression was calm, rainwater sliding down his resolute face.

Silently feeling his physical state, recalling the details of his previous punches.

He raised his arm again, this time using only one hand.

Following closely, his toes twisted fiercely, power erupting from his ankles, instantly penetrating the muscles of his whole body.

Finally, at the moment of converging at the fist front, the arm muscles suddenly bulged, and then trembled slightly.

The entire right arm suddenly moved back and forth within an extremely short distance, trembling wildly.

Swish-swish-swish-swish——

Like a drill chiseling at high speed on hard rock.

That ultimate frequency made the fist seem stationary, its movement trajectory disappearing.

Only the screech generated by the violent friction of the air proved its terrifying speed!

Bang——

An extremely condensed air cannon shot out from the fist front.

Carrying a piercing sound of breaking the air, it exploded a huge spray on the sea surface dozens of meters away, forcibly shattering a large piece of the rolling waves.

Fang Cheng's gaze lowered slightly, slowly retracting his fist.

Feeling the slight tremor coming from his arm and the soreness deep within the muscles.

Compared to the previous fighting style, executing this "Nail Punch" was even more difficult, and the requirements for the body's instantaneous explosive power and control were even higher.

Compressing the punching distance to the limit as much as possible, so as to achieve more punching times in extreme time, and accurately concentrate all striking force on a single point.

Theoretically speaking, it could indeed cause penetrating damage several times that of a single punch.

But the reality was that the shorter the punching distance, the smaller the erupted power.

Moreover, wanting to complete more effective power exertions within the same 0.5-second time, the difficulty rose geometrically.

This required absolute strength, neural reaction speed, and stable control, and even more required massive physical reserves as support.

At the same time, the muscles, under such high-speed contraction and relaxation, bore huge impact force, making them very easy to cause tearing injuries.

Even with Fang Cheng's perverted Physique, if not controlled slightly well, there was a risk of serious injury.

Wanting to achieve the ideal effect where the moment of throwing a punch was equivalent to the superimposed effect of dozens or even hundreds of punches.

Besides needing to continue working hard to practice Boxing, exploring more exquisite force-exerting skills, one also had to further enhance basic body attributes.

"A Physique of 40 points is still not enough to use..."

Fang Cheng pondered silently for a moment, feeling that his stamina was almost exhausted, and only then let out a long breath of turbid air, ending this hearty morning exercise.

The wind and rain still hadn't stopped, but the sky was slightly brighter than before.

The architectural silhouettes of the distant city gradually became clear in the rain curtain.

He stood in the rolling waves, letting the wind and rain wash over him, while an unspeakable heroic ambition surged in his heart.

Enjoying this feeling of fighting against heaven and earth, enjoying the transformation brought by every Breakthrough of limits.

...

Meanwhile, inside a room in a high-rise residential building in the distance.

Through the window, the layers of rain curtains almost blurred the entire world.

Fine water droplets condensed on the glass, sliding down slowly, leaving winding traces.

The girl sat in a wheelchair, looking out the window.

A familiar swelling pain faintly came from her legs; that was the inflammation of the old injury acting up.

Every time it was this kind of drizzly weather, this feeling would be especially clear.

Her mood was also somewhat gloomy, just like the weather.

On the beach, that blurry figure had already disappeared.

A trace of unspeakable loss flashed across her heart, mixed with the gloom unique to rainy days.

She couldn't help but sigh softly, intending to withdraw her gaze.

Suddenly, her gaze slightly tightened again.

On that wet highway washed clean by the rain, a lonely man's figure was walking slowly, and seemed to be heading toward the direction of the building where she was.

Was it an illusion? Or...

She subconsciously widened her eyes, trying to see more clearly.

Was it that weirdo who fought against the waves in the rainstorm earlier?

Right at this moment——

"Young Miss, you woke up so early?"

A voice full of concern came from behind.

The girl turned her head and saw Aunt Chen holding keys and carrying newly bought groceries, walking through the door.

"The rain is falling so heavily, and I don't know when it will stop."

Aunt Chen, while changing her shoes, nagged and complained about the weather, her tone carrying an accustomed peace.

There was no expression on the girl's pale face, and she only nodded faintly:

"Auntie, you've worked hard."

"Hey, not hard at all, not hard at all!"

Aunt Chen responded with a chuckle, carrying the groceries toward the kitchen. After putting things down, she briskly began to clean up the cleanliness of the house.

Her mouth was not idle either; while working, she chatted about everyday household matters with the girl, inquiring with concern about her physical condition.

Afterwards, she brought up the doctor's instructions, saying she would massage her legs later to activate her Qi and blood.

The girl only occasionally responded faintly to Aunt Chen's words, her mind drifting somewhat.

She involuntarily looked out the window again.

However, the highway was empty, and that blurry figure had disappeared into the boundless rain curtain, as if it had never appeared.

The television was still playing the news, with a moderate volume, only hearing the announcer's articulate and round voice echoing in the room:

"...The Dongdu City police recently launched a special anti-gang and crime-elimination operation, and late last night at dawn, after meticulous investigation, successfully captured a serial killer disguised as an ordinary citizen. It is reported that the criminal's methods are extremely cruel and cunning, involving multiple vicious murder and dismemberment cases..."

"This arrest has effectively deterred criminals, powerfully maintained social security, and also demonstrated the police's determination and ability to combat crime..."
