410 Keep It Toned Down, Okay? (1/2)

'I understand now.'

Leon quickly understood why his 200-thousand jin punches would only produce an air cannon of 50-thousand jin.

When he enhanced his punches with Divine Will, he also subconsciously revolved and compressed the surrounding air to the tip of his fist.

The air cannon was created by punching this ball of compressed air and shooting it. If he can consciously gather and compress this air more firmly, he would produce a stronger air cannon.

'Let's try it.'

Leon decided.

At the same time, an angry neighbor living on the other side of the wall was attracted to the commotion caused by Leon.

The person walked over to the hole in the wall and complained, ”Oi! Keep it down, will ya?! You're also making a mess of my—”

Swoosh~!

The person did not finish speaking when another air cannon blew a hole in the wall and send several more wall fragments crashing into his home, narrowly missing him and giving him a slight scare.

”I'm so sorry about that. What were you saying just now? Didn't quite catch the last bit.” Leon apologized with a slightly awkward expression.

He was too focused on improving the self-made battle skill that he left out his considerations for his neighbors who live on the other side of the wall.

”Ah, no… it was nothing… Just keep it toned down, okay?” The person softened his stance with a humbled expression.

Leon smiled wryly when the person quickly left before he could give the person his answer. He decided to stop using the wall for target practice.

He had more or less figured out the finer details of new battle skills. Consciously compressing the air with Divine Will does generate a greater force, but he was still losing a lot of power when he tries to channel the strength of his punch into it.

Rather than punching compressed air, he needed to reduce the distance between the compressed air and his fist to zero and push it instead.

Only by achieving this would he channel the strength of his punch efficiently and shoot out an air cannon of equivalent force.

'If I add elemental powers to this fist force, it will enhance the power and destructiveness of the fist force further and make it more practical in battle situations.' Leon mulled.

He already decided to call it Fist Force. Depending on the attribute he adds to the battle skill, it can become Lightning Fist Force, Fiery Fist Force, or Icy Fist Force, etc. These were variations he could play with.

Darlene had been watching from the side quietly after returning from the bedroom, unwilling to disturb Leon's practice. After seeing Leon finally stopped his training, she walked over and called him.

”Please use this, hubby.”

Leon called her as such before, but the feeling she received this time was different from before. It left her heart jittery and dancing with joy.

She smiled happily and proceeded to pick up the soaked top Leon had previously tossed aside and prepare to go wash it, but Leon stopped her.

”Ah, don't worry about washing that. I can just wash that later.” Leon wrapped his hands around her waist and took the top from her hands.

Darlene's heart skipped a beat, but then she argued, ”How can I let you do that? These menial tasks should be left for me to do. It's the least I can do for you.”

”Well, only if you want to.” Leon smiled before had a shrewd look and teased, ”But my pants are also soaked and dirtied. Are you going to take these off me to wash them too?”

Darlene was surprised and quickly glance around. There were holes in the walls, broken doors, and even a few taller buildings in the surrounding area. If someone wanted to spy inside Barrenrock Courtyard, they can.

Her lips slowly curled up into a sly smile and teased back, ”Hubby won't mind if I strip you here and let others see your little wiener down there?”

She glanced down at his crotch daringly.

Leon felt a little embarrassed that Darlene was daring enough to make a comeback at him, but it also proved that she was slowly changing from her previously more subservient self.

”Ahem.” Leon coughed and said, ”Never mind that. Come, I will teach you how to cultivate today.”

This time, Darlene was startled and give the surrounding another sweeping glance before she said, ”Are you going to teach me right here, hubby? Won't it be a problem for hubby if someone sees us while you are teaching?”

”Of course not.”

Leon smiled calmly at Darlene's considerations and reached out his hand to rub her head like a little kid. She pouted with displeasure but still enjoyed the head rub like a cat that likes to be caressed.
