I’m Someone Else

For martial artists like Cordan, it was a lifelong dream for one to be able to tone up their bodies successfully. After achieving certain levels in martial arts, one would develop internal energy in their elixir fields, and that was how people like Cordan or the six elderlies managed to become so powerful. However, upon developing such abilities, their bodies would come to a point where they could no longer contain more internal energy. This would leave them stagnant in terms of abilities, and toning up their body would be the highest level that they could achieve.

Rumors claimed that one could contain an infinite amount of internal energy once they managed to tone up their body successfully. By then, their human bodies would no longer become a limitation to the power they can contain.

However, despite it sounding like a simple process, toning up one’s body was extremely tough. The instructions and guidelines on how to achieve this had been lost among older generations. Even the six elderlies from the Six Greatest Families of Irieson never managed to tone up their bodies! Thomas was an exception, of course. He didn’t contain any internal energy, and even if he did, he had no idea how to use it. His strength was completely derived from the inhumane conditions that the old man had put him through since he was a child. Thomas only managed to tone up his body with the forbidden materials that he had obtained to do so.

Cordan never expected Thomas to be able to achieve this! The regular person didn’t even have the guidelines to be able to achieve this, and even if those instructions were somewhere out there, they were probably owned by all the hidden martial artists who were no longer out in the public eye. Could Thomas’ master be some powerful figure who’s hiding from the public? If that’s the case, then I’m in trouble. I won’t be able to get away with this even if I kill Thomas. The six elderlies won’t be able to get away with this either!

“You know too much!” Thomas wasn’t in the mood to have a chat with Cordan. Instead, he took a few steps closer to Cordan before swinging his arm into the air. Swoosh!

Thomas sent his arm directly toward Cordan’s head! However, Cordan lived up to his title as one of the strongest descendants of the six elderlies—he instantly took a few steps back just in time to avoid Thomas’ attack.

Then, Cordan stomped both his feet on the ground. Boom!

A cloud of thick smoke enveloped all of them, including Thomas. Everyone’s first instinct was to shut their eyes, but the next time Thomas opened his eyes, Cordan was already nowhere to be seen! “Ah!” Thomas had already predicted for such a thing to happen. He knew that it would be hard for him to attack and kill someone as experienced and skilled as Cordan if he didn’t manage to do so after catching Cordan off guard the first time. It was no surprise to Thomas that Cordan had already planned a way to escape.
