Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 5: Sparring with Brother Luo Feng

Luo Xia practiced very diligently.

They didn't notice the passage of time at all.

When he finished all thirty-two movements and stopped to rest, he noticed that his older brother Luo Feng had arrived at the martial arts gym sometime earlier and was warming up not far away using the eighteen movements that Luo Xia had comprehended.

Luo Xia was generous with the warm-up exercises and body-strengthening techniques he had learned, and taught them to Luo Feng as soon as he mastered them.

Therefore, Luo Feng's current strength as a senior student is not only due to his own talent, but also thanks to Luo Xia's efforts.

Luo Xia picked up a clean towel from the shelf beside him and wiped the sweat from his face. After Luo Feng finished warming up, he smiled and said, "Big brother, when did you arrive?"

"I just arrived a little while ago."

Luo Feng replied, then walked towards the punching power testing machine, "I'm going to test my punching power."

He stood in front of the punching power testing machine, took a slow, deep breath, and then threw a punch.

"How many?"

Rorschach walked over and asked.

Luo Feng glanced at the numbers displayed on the screen, sighed, and said, "Only broke through to 877kg."

That's actually quite high.

In the original story, Luo Feng's punching power had just reached 809kg at this point.

He now weighs 877 kg.

It weighs 68kg more than in the original story.

That's amazing.

Because increasing punching power by even one kilogram is an extremely difficult task.

Luo Feng looked at Luo Xia and said with a smile, "When I came over just now, I heard from Brother Yang and the others that your punching power has broken through to 945kg. Little brother, it seems that you can participate in the quasi-martial artist assessment soon."

"I plan to take the preliminary martial arts assessment after I finish the college entrance examination."

Luo Xia told Luo Feng about his plans.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll try my best recently to see if I can make a breakthrough before the college entrance exam. If I can get dizzy again... maybe I can catch up with you."

The reason Luo Feng was able to become an advanced student at the age of eighteen was not only due to the warm-up and body-strengthening techniques taught to him by Luo Xia, but also because of his dizziness.

This dizziness... is actually a precursor to the awakening of spiritual power.

Every time Luo Feng felt dizzy, his physical fitness would increase dramatically.

He fainted once when he was very young, and five years ago he fainted again when his mother, Gong Xinlan, was hospitalized.

Both of these comas significantly improved his physical condition.

That's why Luo Feng was looking forward to feeling dizzy.

Luo Xia, on the other hand, automatically awakened his spiritual power at birth, unlike Luo Feng who needed to experience dizziness repeatedly to awaken it.

Upon hearing Luo Feng mention dizziness, Luo Xia pondered for a moment before asking, "Brother, have you been having headaches frequently lately?"

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said:

"It still hurts occasionally, but not as bad as before... Come to think of it, every time I faint from a headache, the headache symptoms lessen a bit. Maybe after one or two more times, my headache problem will be gone forever."

Rorschach was well aware of this.

If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Feng's headaches should be completely resolved by the upcoming college entrance examination.

"Brother, how about a friendly spar?"

Luo Xia suddenly asked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded and said, "Okay, but wait for me to test the speed first. Could you turn on the speed tester for me?"

"OK."

Luo Xia nodded and helped Luo Feng turn on the speed testing machine.

Luo Feng stood on the 60-meter track.

Whoosh-!

In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng accelerated to his maximum speed, his legs powerfully pushing off the ground like an arrow released from a bow, piercing through the speed testing machine area with the wind.

"How many?"

He turned to ask Rorschach.

Rorschach walked over and glanced at the numbers displayed on the screen, replying, "25.6 m/s."

Luo Feng's expression brightened, and he said with a smile, "Really?"

Rorschach pointed to the screen. "Look for yourself."

Luo Feng glanced at the number and saw that it was indeed as his younger brother had said. His smile became even brighter. Since his speed had already broken through to 25.6 m/s, all he was missing was the punching power to reach the standard of a martial artist.

"Big brother, let's have a spar!" Luo Xia called out.

"it is good."

Luo Feng nodded and walked with Luo Xia to the arena next to the training hall.

The two stood facing each other, attracting the attention of everyone else in the hall.

"Are Xia and the madman going to spar again?"

"Quick, quick, place your bets! Who will win today?"

"No need to say more, it must be another little monster! During our previous sparring session, even Madman was a move behind."

While they were discussing, Luo Xia and Luo Feng both adjusted their breathing.

Luo Xia looked at Luo Feng, his eyes narrowing, and suddenly said, "Big Brother, I'm here!"

After saying that, Luo Xia rushed out.

He threw a tentative punch, aiming straight for the open spot left by Luo Feng.

Snapped!

Luo Feng struck out with his palm, catching Luo Xia's fist.

He felt a sharp pain in his palm, and then a tremendous force spread from his palm throughout his body.

Luo Feng was secretly surprised. As expected of a fist weighing over 900 kilograms, it was incredibly powerful!

Luo Feng pressed Luo Xia's fist down, creating an opening in Luo Xia's face. Then he lowered his body, preparing to use his shoulder to bump into Luo Xia.

If this strike lands, it will definitely leave Luo Xia breathless for a moment.

But Luo Xia was too fast. His punch was just a test, he only used six-tenths of his strength and kept four-tenths of his power in reserve.

Seeing his fist being pressed down and his older brother's shoulder bumping into him, Luo Xia immediately stepped back, withdrew his fist, and crossed his arms in front of his chest, preparing to defend himself.

However, seeing that Luo Xia had reacted, Luo Feng immediately changed his move, switching from a shoulder strike to a punch. He twisted his body, and his fist shot out like a venomous snake, aiming for Luo Xia's stomach!

Luo Xia reacted again. As Luo Feng threw a punch, his crossed hands suddenly opened, and his right hand shot out, hitting the joint of Luo Feng's punching hand, preventing him from delivering the punch smoothly.

At the same time, his other hand seized the opportunity to strike the open space left by Luo Feng's punch!

The two exchanged blows extremely quickly, exchanging attacks and defenses several times in just a second.

The other people watching the two sparring below the arena were all completely engrossed.

Previously, Luo Feng and Luo Xia would spar in the martial arts hall. They already knew that Luo Feng and Luo Xia not only had physical abilities that had reached the level of advanced students at a young age, but also had rich combat awareness, which was no less than that of some martial artists.

The sparring session ended quickly.

"As expected, the little devil won again!"

"The madman is still one move short. If he could react in time and intercept the little monster's elbow strike beforehand, he might be able to turn the tide!"

"That last move by the little devil was no simple feat. He first used a knee strike to attract the madman's attention, then changed his move midway, and the killing blow was all in that elbow strike. We outsiders could see it clearly, but if we were in the madman's shoes, we probably would still fall for it!"

"This little devil's battle IQ is just too high!"

"I heard that the headmaster of our martial arts school has already noticed this little prodigy. This kid's going to take off sooner or later!"

The other martial artists below were discussing it.

On the arena, Luo Xia, slightly out of breath, pulled Luo Feng up from his seat and laughed, "Big brother, you've fallen for my trick again!"

Luo Feng shook his head and smiled wryly, "You brat!"

He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly, and since he had known since childhood that his younger brother was very capable, he didn't feel uncomfortable about it.

In fact, the more powerful Luo Xia was, the happier Luo Feng, as his older brother, was.

Sometimes, being the eldest brother can be quite stressful...
