Ch 7 - The Ass Breaking Finger Skill

Billy was deeply worried about it. After last night, he only generated a small amount of

Internal Strength. How could he win over Cairo?

If Cairo's Total Amount of Internal Strength was only twenty to thirty percent, then Billy only

had two or three at most. It was because after Billy got his Internal Strength, it spread

directly to his meridians. If not, it would be almost inconceivable for him to cultivate even a

single Internal Strength overnight.

It took two months for Kane, who had a Third-grade Aptitude, to cultivate up to Cairo's present

state. On average, he would only make use of half his Internal Strength daily, and sometimes,

he consumed even less than half of it.

"It appears I can only use some kind of special method," Billy said with a strange smile.

At that moment, Cairo noticed the funny smirk on Billy's face. For some strange reason, his

heart suddenly skipped a beat. How was it possible for him to ignore that thought?

At this moment, Cairo heard Billy's faint voice saying, "I accept."

Nearly everyone turned their attention to Cairo and Billy. When they heard Billy taking

the deal, they grew even more animated, eagerly expecting Cairo to give Billy a good

beating.

Cairo chuckled inwardly, but his face revealed a foolish grin. "You're such a genius, Billy,

but you need to be merciful."

Then Cairo went to give the first assault without waiting for Billy's reply. Such action proved

how vile and shameless he was that even the boys watching from the sidelines couldn't help but

detest Cairo's deceitfulness.

However, Billy and the rest of them understood it differently. Although he used to be an

ordinary person, he had lived and survived through society for a year or two now. At the time,

especially in another world, the word fairness didn't exist initially. But if one's life was at stake

during battle, as long as they won and lived to see another day, everything would turn out fine.

While Billy still had to give some warnings before the competition could begin, it was no

longer necessary.

As a result, the group of young warriors of the Alexei family remained very naive.

Billy had long realized what was happening, and he had been very vigilant of Cairo's every

move. As soon as Cairo attacked, Billy held his ground calmly. He turned his body slightly

to one side and waved his arms upwards, blocking Cairo's fist straight away.

"What? He thwarted my furtive attack?" Cairo was surprised for a moment after his punch failed

to connect to Billy's face.

Although Cairo was somewhat insidious, he was only thirteen years old and had a weak combat

awareness. He was completely unmatched compared to Instructor Lester and the others his

age. His brief hesitation allowed Billy to strike back.

Billy crouched instantly and swept his leg across, causing Cairo to lose his balance after

experiencing pain in his leg. He hit the ground immediately, but it wasn't long before he

recovered. As soon as he came to his senses, he placed his hands firmly on the ground and

was about to jump back with momentum.

However, Billy had already initiated the Basic Long Fists technique and shot out nine

punches, ruthlessly pounding Cairo. Each blow landed on his body, sending him in midair. It

knocked him out eventually, and he fell to the ground, red-faced.

The surrounding boys, who were enjoying themselves earlier, were dismayed when the situation

suddenly turned around. "Cairo has proved himself to be incompetent. Meanwhile, Billy

was barely developing his Internal Strength."

"I don't think so. It's not that Cairo is useless, but Billy's combat awareness is simply

stronger. Besides, Cairo's the weakest one among us, and almost no one will team up with him

to fight each other during our daily training, so everything about him will be invalid. If I were in

his shoes making the attack, I wouldn't give Billy the chance to take advantage of me.

We're both at risk of injury, but not in the way things are currently going."

"Cairo was reckless before this. With his Internal Strength almost ineffective, Billy will

become even more deadly."

A few of the boys with keen eyesight asserted as they watched eagerly.

Kane's eyes flickered as he added, "Although Cairo is worthless, his body has still grown

remarkably after having some of his Internal Strength for three years. Previously, Billy's use

of Basic Long Fists only required a small portion of his Internal Strength, and it hardly inflicted

damage on Cairo's body."

Shortly after Kane spoke, Cairo immediately stood up. There was a hint of anger on his face,

but he promptly suppressed it. It was just a competition, and committing an error was only

natural. However, no matter how he looked at the situation, Billy seemed to have done it

deliberately. Cairo tried to resist the disgust he felt toward Billy as he wore a ghastly smile.

"You're indeed a genius who deserves to have a fourth-level Aptitude. And..." Before finishing

his words, Cairo launched another sneaky attack.

Billy retreated abruptly and sneered in his heart. "He didn't fool me the first time, so how

can I fall for it now? Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient Internal Strength in my body. My only

option is to use the Claw Condensation Technique if I want to hurt him. I need to do this properly

because I only get one shot. Without enough Internal Strength, I won't be able to use even

one-tenth of its power. But I have practiced the said technique for one day only, so I have to use

it without making any mistakes. However, it takes time to gear up before it can cause serious

damage, and there's no way Cairo will give me a chance to prepare. It looks like I can only use

some techniques as I had imagined in the past."

Cairo had learned his lesson before, so he didn't dare to be sloppy around Billy. With the

Internal Strength of his body expanding non-stop, he went on to beat and kick the life out of

Billy successively.

The Basic Long Fists and the Basic Leg Techniques were both considered low-level skills and

were referred to as the foundation of combat skills. However, with the support of one's Internal

Strength, the technique's power was still good enough to harm an opponent. Whenever a punch

or leg kick was thrown, there would be a buzzing sound.

With the imminent attack, Billy tried his best to duck in embarrassment, and he didn't even

dare resist. Once he made direct contact, Cairo's Internal Strength broke out, and Billy was

likely to suffer a serious injury.

In no time at all, Cairo's offensive slowed down. After all, his Total Amount of Internal Strength

wasn't that high. Despite this, Cairo only took a few breaths while Billy sweated profusely.

His clothes were all messed up, and his appearance was in a terrible state.

Cairo couldn't refrain from shouting, "Billy, don't you have the courage to face me? Don't

dodge if you're brave enough!"

Billy had the strangest smile. "The opportunity has presented itself. Don't fret because I'll

never hide again."

Suddenly, Billy went after Cairo, who only sneered in his thoughts. "Even if there's not

much Internal Strength left in my body, I won't fear you even if you fight me head-on!"

However, while Cairo was about to hit him, Billy moved his feet and his Internal Strength

exploded. His speed increased dramatically, and after a split second, he found himself directly

behind Cairo.

In this battle, Billy had only used his Internal Strength on two occasions. The first instance

was when Cairo charged at him. But after he resisted the attack, he sent Cairo flying away.

Billy felt that Cairo would certainly be insulted and bitter about it. After three years of

attaining his Internal Strength, he was overpowered by someone who had it for just one day.

Such a record was enough to make Cairo the object of ridicule between the boys of the Alexei

family.

Since then, Billy continued to fend off subsequent attacks, and although he was flustered,

this wasn't a major problem as he didn't suffer any severe injuries. However, it certainly drove

Cairo crazy. The anger in his heart flared up again, and his onslaughts became more

tumultuous. Every punch he threw out consumed a lot of his physical and Internal Strength.

Thus, not only could Billy evade more easily, but he could also cover the real attack.

With Billy's second surge of incredible speed, Cairo barely had time to think of anything

else after his anger consumed him. His heart was filled with desperation and the urge to

vanquish Billy.

After this, Billy seized the opportunity and quickly moved behind Cairo.

Then Billy yelled out, "Ass Breaking Finger!"

After trying out several tactics, he finally unleashed his true attack.

It was also possible because Cairo had wasted much of his energy and Internal Strength.

Otherwise, it would be hard for Billy to get behind him at his usual speed.

Also, Cairo was still inexperienced and lacked battle consciousness. Billy's approach was

still okay when used on Cairo, but it probably wouldn't have much effect if he went up against

skilled warriors like Instructor Lester who had often fought with the Devil Beast. Instructor Lester

might even see through his movements and techniques right from the start.

Suddenly, two small Internal Strengths set off one after the other. Billy had little Internal

Strength left on his body, and he used up the rest when he did the Ass Breaking Finger Skill.

The destructive power of his two index fingers soon expanded.

As a warrior supported by his Internal Strength, Billy's physical attributes differed

immensely from others, far more than ordinary people.

Once a warrior reached the advanced level, even if his Internal Strength wasn't circulating, he

wouldn't be affected by an ordinary person's punch, much less solicit a frown. The only time the

attack would work was if he hit the warrior's weak points, such as the throat or the crotch.

Even though Cairo was deeply irritating, he was still one of the Alexei family's servants. Of

course, Billy wouldn't execute him, so he wouldn't even consider attacking Cairo's throat

and groin. If by any chance he failed to recognize this, he could hurt or even kill Cairo. Things

would then turn out badly.

Following a series of eliminations, Cairo's chrysanthemum entered Billy's eyes.

Compared to the throat and crotch, the chrysanthemum also had the same effect. But by

comparison, as long as the attack using the chrysanthemum was properly controlled, it wouldn't

cause any fatal risk to Cairo. At best, the chrysanthemum would only bring discomfort for a few

days, leaving the victim lying down all the time.

Several days later, Billy supposed that even without this trivial technique, it would be

enough to take care of Cairo.

Cairo had very little endurance and Internal Strength left, so how could he resist Billy's

extremely tricky move? He uttered a terrifying cry that rattled the heavens and the earth.

The Second Brothers of the Alexei family who were watching the fight seemed perturbed, and

their hips had unconscious traction caused by the tension.

"That's so terrifying! Oh, my goodness, I can't even look!"

"Woah! Brother Billy is scary as hell. I wish I could hide behind my mother's skirt!" A

ten-year-old boy who just joined blurted out.

Billy's actions left a huge impact on their young hearts, which directly led their perception of

him to transform to a monstrous level.

Most of the boys watched Billy in horror and unconsciously retreated several steps. When

they glanced at Cairo, they were already filled with sympathy.

Kane's mouth took on an unpleasant twist as he looked at the turn of events. He touched his

backside unconsciously, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and silently walked to a different

area to practice a skill.

There were others like Kane who left quietly. After all, these were just boys under the age of

fifteen who lacked experience. In general, when they fought, they only got bruises and had a

small amount of bleeding. They had never been confronted with this situation before.

If it were someone who had committed a major crime, their eyes would probably light up. That

was a great trick for handling people.
