「One month later.」
BANG! BANG!
Sweat flew as the heavy, red leather sandbag swung up in the gym, tracing a wide arc.
His white and gray training clothes were already soaked through. Lu Chao's eyes were focused. He quickly tensed his muscles again and shot forward in a blur.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Like a heavy boulder launching itself from the ground, he charged forward recklessly, stirring up a wild gust of wind.
He actually charged straight at an iron post in the corner, one that was welded into the concrete floor, and slammed into it with brutal force.
THUD!
A muffled boom erupted, and the nearby concrete floor trembled slightly.
A spray of sweat vaporized on impact, exploding out from where his elbow met the iron post.
A powerful shockwave rebounded from the impact, drilling into his flesh and stinging his bones.
And yet, Lu Chao stood like a heavy, unmoving boulder. With just the slightest tremble, he suppressed all the discomfort.
In that instant.
