BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104 104 Hardening
"But sir you are way stronger than us, there\'s no way that\'s possible," a boy said and he was right.
They just witnessed how he moved so fast that none of them saw him, so they was no way they could withstand his punch.
"I know, so I\'m giving myself a handicap, I won\'t use Ki to punch you, I will punch you with my normal strength," Jake said.
"Ray, I\'m getting that gold coin," Ivan said to Ray.
\'Let\'s see how strong my defense is\' Ray muttered under his breath and harden his stomach.
"Are you guys ready" Jake said.
"Wait Sir, I also want to join" the boy on the ground said as he struggled to stand up.
"You should sit this one out, you should rest, I didn\'t use Ki when I punched you and you fell to the ground, if I do it again I don\'t know what will happen" Jake said.
"Sir you didn\'t use Ki" Leia asked.
"No, how can I use Ki against first year students, do you want to die" Jake said and fear immediately gripped most of the students.
"Die... so you didn\'t use Ki on him and he still can\'t stand up, I thought you used Ki" Leia said.
"Oh no I didn\'t, I just used Ki to sprint in front of him" Jake said.
After hearing this the students knew they didn\'t have any chance to withstand his punch but they were not going to give up, one gold coin was on the line.
"Are you ready" Jake said and removed a gold coin from his pocket and showed the students.
"Ready... now"
Jake first went for Gabriel the rank 1 student, in an instant he dashed toward Gabriel and punched his stomach.
Gabriel staggered backwards before regaining his balance, the students all watched as he struggled to keep himself standing, after some seconds he fell to the ground.
"One down" Jake said.
The students lost all hope as Gabriel fell to the ground, even the rank 1 couldn\'t withstand one punch from Sir Jake.
"I just showed you guys an example, I\'m going to hit you guys most faster now, just harden and wait for your turn" Jake smiled.
Half of the students were on the ground, most of them were coughing while some held their stomach from the pain they felt in their stomach.
Ivan who stood near Ray was already on the ground, only two students were left when sir Jake stopped.
Ray and Xavier were the only ones that were left, Ray already harden his stomach waiting for his turn but it seems Sir Jake wanted them to be last.
"So are you two ready" Jake asked.
"Among the first year, you two gathered the largest amount of Ki, your body is strong enough to withstand my punch so don\'t fall, that\'s why I kept you guys for last" Jake said.
Ray harden his stomach the best he could using all the Ki he can muster at the moment, he was going to withstand Sir Jake punch.
He had seen worst, he had battled with beasts, he wasn\'t even human so he can be able to withstand a common punch.
Sir Jake dashed toward him first and punched him, Ray felt his eyes turning as he struggled to regain control of his senses.
Ray couldn\'t keep himself standing as he held his stomach.
\'I\'m not going to fall, I\'m going to make it\' Ray mumbled.
Ray didn\'t know when he hit the ground, it felt like he lost all strength in his legs, they couldn\'t keep him standing anymore so they gave up.
"Looks like we have a winner" Jake said and Ray looked up.
Xavier was still standing, he was coughing slightly and still wasn\'t balanced but he was still standing.
Jake tossed the gold coin to him and he caught it in the air, his legs wanted to give in but he quickly gained balance and stood still.
"Very good Xavier" Jake said and Xavier nodded his head.
\'Even Gabriel couldn\'t withstand it how did Xavier managed to pull it off\' Ray wondered as he sat up.
The other students had also recovered and were now seated on the ground. Some of the students seating near Xavier were asking him what he did but he didn\'t respond.
"So only one person could withstand it, I expected two but it seems the other person couldn\'t handle it" Jake said.
Ray knew he was talking to him, he was also angry at himself for not being able to withstand a common punch.
"Should I tell you the trick Xavier used" Jake said and all the students were shocked.
\'Trick... what trick\'
"When I punched you, I didn\'t used Ki but I did something else, I infused a little of my Ki in too your body" Jake said.
"You infused Ki... I don\'t understand Sir" Gabriel said.
"Some of you wanted to remain standing but your legs could hold you, it was like all the strength in your legs were lost" Jake said.
That was exactly what happened to Ray, he couldn\'t control his legs and they eventually gave up, but what did he really do.
"At your stage there is a limited amount of Ki your body can handle, and when I told you to gather your Ki and harden your stomach all of you automatically gathered the highest amount of Ki and used it to harden your stomach"
"Then I add a little of my own Ki and your body couldn\'t handle it and you lost strength and fell to the ground" Jake explained.
\'So that was what happened, here I was thinking I couldn\'t take a punch\' Ray mumbled.
"Sir what trick did Xavier use" Leia asked.
"Figure it out on your own that\'s all for today" Jake said.
"Sir that\'s not fair, you said you wanted to tell us the trick Xavier used" a girl complained.
"Xavier tell them the trick you used" Jake said.
The students all looked at Xavier, they all knew Xavier wouldn\'t say anything to them so they all look back at Jake but he was already gone.
