Chapter 33 Founding Father
Chapter 33 Founding Father
After five years in the military, Leo had coolly assumed the mantle of the former Commander of the
Wyverns. Not only did he learn how to kill, but he also became proficient in various martial arts, even
inventing several schools of martial arts on his own.
The Lightning Boxing Technique was one of them.
He had never thought that he would meet someone who knew this technique in the tiny city of
Emerdale.
"Martial Maestro is really spreading my martial arts skills far and wide, huh?"
He was mumbling under his breath, but there was a smile on his face nonetheless.
After all, who wouldn’t want to leave a legacy behind?
If Ip Man could popularize Wing Chun, there was no reason why he couldn't spread his Lightning
Boxing Technique all over the world.
But, little did Leo know that Martial Maestro, one of the Seven Maestros of Winbury, had begun training
students after learning the Lightning Boxing Technique from him. Of course, he did not use Leo's name,
because he knew that Leo preferred to keep a low profile. He used the moniker God of War to spread
his teachings instead.
The smile on Leo's face became bigger and bigger as he looked at Wallace. "Come on, show me what
you've learned."
It was rare to meet an indirect student of his. Even if Wallace was his opponent, he was still intrigued
and possibly willing to teach him a thing or two.
"You dare—"
Wallace looked murderous after hearing Leo's words, and he threw another punch at him, faster this
time.
He was annoyed by the way Leo was talking. The latter made him sound like a useless student being
guided by his teacher.
"Don’t act all tough when you're about to die!"
Mr. O'Brien looked at Leo with a confident expression. He had seen Wallace use the Lightning Boxing
Technique firsthand.
At that time, Wallace used a single punch to render his opponent unconscious, leaving him in the
hospital for two whole months.
Several teachers were afraid that Wallace would beat Leo to death. One of them asked in a hushed
whisper, "Should we call 911?"
"Call an ambulance," the principal said, frowning.
She knew about the O'Brien family's influence in Emerdale. There was no point calling the cops.
Besides, it was Leo who was audacious enough to provoke Wallace. He was just digging his own
grave.
Wallace's fist arrived in front of Leo's face in an instant, messing up the latter's fringe with how fast it
was going.
However, the destructive punch did not land. Everyone could only watch in bewilderment at the scene
unfolding before them.
Wallace's fist stopped less than two inches away from Leo's face, but Leo was still looking at him
calmly. He did not even blink.
"You want to fight me, but you're still letting your kid cling onto you. What if we hurt her by accident?"
Wallace said coldly, withdrawing his fist.
Leo looked down when he heard this.
He saw that his little girl was still hugging one of his legs and looking up at Wallace. She did not look
intimidated either. It was as if she would never be afraid, as long as her father was around.
Leo touched her head and smiled. He also developed a better impression of Wallace.
"It's okay, you can do whatever you want. Don't hold back for my sake."
His words were filled with confidence.
This time, Wallace did not show the same expression as before. He gave Leo a deep, meaningful look
instead.
Few people could remain calm, to the point of not even batting an eyelid, in the face of his incoming
fists.
Either Leo was faking it, or he was a genuine martial arts expert...
Mr. O'Brien gnashed his teeth as he watched from the side. He was annoyed that Wallace's fist did not
make contact with Leo just now. That punch should have crippled him!
But it did not matter. The results would be the same with a second punch.
He never entertained the notion that Wallace might lose.
Wallace adjusted his state and threw another punch at Leo.
This time, he did not hold back and punched even harder and faster.
Everyone's eyes widened. They could feel the power contained in his fist from where they were
standing several feet away.
But Leo merely shook his head after a glance.
This guy had too many flaws in his technique!
He raised a hand and pushed forward with the gentlest motion, almost as if he was pushing a pram.
Then, he pushed Wallace's strong fist away like it was nothing at all.
Wallace staggered back three steps before he managed to stabilize his footing, all while staring at Leo
in disbelief.
"You're kidding me!"
He mumbled to himself, unable to accept the disparity in their levels of expertise.
"How is this possible...?"
Mr. O'Brien was so shocked at this scene that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
"That's your boxing technique?" Leo asked calmly.
His question made Wallace's body tremble. He gritted his teeth and looked at Leo with a trace of anger
in his eyes.
"I don't care if you insult me, but you won’t let you insult this technique!" he roared.
His boxing technique was invented by the God of War!
His muscles trembled and bulged at the thought of this. Then, with a sudden burst of power, he
charged at Leo like a bolt of lightning.
However, just like before, Leo effortlessly grabbed Wallace's fist.
"You have too many gaps in your movement."
Leo grabbed Wallace's wrist and said emotionlessly, "Watch carefully. This is what the real Lightning
Boxing Technique looks like!" This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Then, a powerful momentum burst out from Leo, exerting a suffocating amount of pressure on Wallace.
Wallace fell into a trance and felt as if he was plunged into the midst of thunderclouds, where an
invisible force destroyed him in an instant.
"The Lightning Boxing Technique is about your energy, not your strength. The more energy you project,
the stronger your fist becomes!"
In the blink of an eye, Leo turned his palm into a fist and aimed Wallace in the chest, punching him ten
times within a single second!
"Secondly, you have to pay attention to your speed. Go fast, fierce, and on-point! Your punch is too
slow to be effective!"
The dense sound of blows resounded, leaving the spectator's hearts palpitating in terror.
Before Wallace could process what was going on, he was already experiencing dozens of blows on his
body.
Leo quickly withdrew his fists after performing a complete set of the Lightning Boxing Technique.
Wallace should have crashed to the floor or started hurling up blood, but he was still standing where he
was. However, his eyes were wide open and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
The clothes on his back were so drenched that it was as if he had just been fished out the sea.
Seeing him like this, Leo had a faint smile on his face.
It looked like Wallace had also realized it.
The momentum of lightning was so strong that it could practically engulf mountains; delivering a punch
of the Lightning Boxing Technique would render one's opponent immovable.
That was because one would inject force into one's opponent with every punch. If the opponent dared
to move, his meridians might just explode.
If that happened, they would not only experience intense pain all over their body, but also suffer long-
term sequelae—or what martial artists dub as internal injuries.
Leo had held back just now against Wallace.
It took 10 minutes before Wallace finally attempted to move, albeit with extreme caution. He raised his
head stiffly and looked at Leo with a pale face. "Who... Who are you?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"Me?"
Smiling, Leo picked up his daughter, touched her head, and said with a happy face, "I'm just this little
girl's father."
Realization dawned on Wallace. He fell to his knees and made a kowtow to Leo.
"God of War, please accept your student's greetings!"
