7 Pain. (1/2)

”Surrender, kid.”

The words echoed at Su Min, causing him to shudder for a second. His dwindling eyes seemed to light up as he turned to look at the man, and without any warning, he just started walking.

The man lamented at the boy before going into a simple fighting posture, waiting for Su Min to approach. He didn't really see him as a threat.

However, contrary to everyone's thoughts, the old man at the podium didn't seem to take this fight lightly at all. In fact, you could say that he was watching Su Min's every movement.

Only one person noticed this, and she was the genius fighter Yi Zan. She seemed to know a touch more than everyone else, so when she noticed the solemn expression of the old man she couldn't help but hesitate.

”Am I missing something here?”

The walk continued as Su Min shifted his weight to his arm and formed a pushing motion like he was experimenting. It was ordinary beyond belief, yet the muscular man couldn't help but get an eery feeling when he saw that pushing motion.

However, it was too late to act as Su Min had already appeared before him, so he just decided to ignore it and punched out.

For most people, this punch could be considered top notch for any mortal, yet Su Min didn't seem to fluctuate with fear or unwillingness, instead, a strange glint shone in his eyes. He followed as the punch closed into his chin, and only then did he move.

*PSST*

The air seemed to wither as Su Min brought his hand back and flattened it. An invisible string of the intent strung itself around his hand as his body tensed to a terrifying degree. The air seemed to freeze under the strange law coming from the intent as the man's eyebrows wrinkled. The push also brought with it a mystical feeling, yet it was too faint to pinpoint

”Hm?”

Just as that punch was about to thrash into Su Min's face, that same pushing motion showed itself once again...

*THUD*

The demeanour of Su Min seemed to change as he pushed that hand out. It made everyone's hearts shake without warning as his body released an otherworldly feeling... In conjunction with this, the intent that shrouded Su Min thrummed before emitting an intense wave of energy.

*PSHHH*

Before the punch even hit the palm, the man shuddered with a shiver that quaked deep within him. It was a feeling that he has never felt before, but as he looked at Su Min's palm, it pierced right through him. It made his mind reel with agony as everything became so painful that simply moving was like he was peeling his own skin off.

He didn't know what it was, but a strange ripple had spread onto him from that push, and it made his body shiver with intense fear!

”W-what..”

Before he even realised, that half-finished punch of his just fell to the side as his body froze without control. The push, however, didn't seem to care as it jostled itself onto his chest.

”GUH!”

The man's chest stood strong as it got pushed, yet, something seemed to have invaded his chest and burned with an intense pain that made his eyes dim. A feeling that surpassed the physical limitations pierced his soul and brought with it a painful law that sundered everything in his mind.

”AGHHHHHH!”
