Chapter 31 Shaylin Strongman’s Finger
William’s heart skipped a beat when he suddenly received a woman’s hug. At that, he patted Gwendolyn’s back. “Hey, it’s going to be okay. I have something that can counter his Iron Sand Palm.”
Gwendolyn was filled with nothing but gratitude, for she knew William became her boyfriend to save her family. Those in their milieu always needed a reason if they were to meddle in businesses that weren’t theirs, or it wouldn’t be right.
After leaving William’s arms, she asked, “What do we do now?”
At that. William turned to Cooper. “Mr. Zuch, you said you’ve asked a few masters to help?”
Cooper smiled wryly in response. I had indeed, but I suddenly can’t reach them anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t show up anymore. No doubt they have all given up because they heard whispers and realized how dangerous this would become.”
“Easier for us then,” said William. “How about this, Mr. Zuch? Have everyone gathered around. We’re going to send Kyle John on a wild goose chase.”
Cooper nodded at once. William was their only Qi State master, and right now, their best option was to listen to him.
After deliberation, they ultimately decided to move to a house in the exurb. That way, not only could they fight freely, not having to worry about affecting the neighbors, but they could also stall for time, for Kyle would need time to search for them.
What was more, William needed time now. There was a set of martial arts in the Way of Heaven and Earth that could counter the Iron Sand Palm named the Shaylin Strongman’s Fingers. In order to learn it, one would have to open up the secondary meridians in one arm at least, and opening up the secondary meridians required time.
In the end, Cooper settled on a manor in the exurb that consisted of eight quarters, and everyone stayed there temporarily.
Because Melisenna’s treatment had to continue, William had a chat with her over the phone, saying he found a job in Kreim and wanted her to stay with him for a few days because no one would be cooking for him. As for Mia, she’d be fine staying over at their grandparents‘ place for now.
Melisenna arrived at Kreim the day itself, and William rented her a place not far from the manor to make giving her the treatment easier.
Followingly, he spent most of his time opening up the secondary meridians, and he believed he wo succeed in opening them up in a couple of days so he could proceed to learn the Shaylin Strongma Fingers.
Soon, the sky gradually turned dark, and being in the exurbs, there would be no light sources as soon as the night fell. The entire village would be pitch black, and all anyone could hear were dog barks every now
and then.
As he focused on cultivating that night, he progressed rather quickly. Now that all the secondary meridians in his palm had been opened up, what remained of his arm would become much easier. If anything, he might be able to open up the entire arm by tomorrow.

Chapter 31 Shaylin Strongman’s Finger
gone through all the acupuncture and medication lately, Melisenna was feeling better. That said, it wasn’t a sickness that could be cured overnight. They had to do it one step at a time.
After he was done, he would head straight back to the Zuch’s manor, and in the blink of an eye, noon the following day arrived. Right then, he finally opened up all the secondary meridians on his right arm, and he could finally barely qualify to train the Shaylin Strongman’s Fingers.
The Shaylin Strongman’s Fingers was a set of martial arts that focused on the use of fingers. It had a designated trail of maneuvering Qi, and each finger also had a designated purpose. The thumb, for instance, was named the Strongman Seal, for it packed a punch. The index finger was named the Dragon Finger as it was agile, perfect for striking an acupoint. The middle finger, on the other hand, was named the Phantom Finger, for it could be used to attack one’s opponent when they least expected.
If one were to use all five fingers at once, it would be called the Shaylin Dragon Claw, and it was far more powerful than the Eagle Claw Attack.
William’s method of training had always been to start with the fundamentals before moving on to refining them. As his core was excellent, he was able to master Shaylin Strongman’s Fingers in a matter of hours.
All that was left now was to familiarize himself with the fingerings lest he felt strange when he performed
it..
Very quickly, darkness enveloped the skies again, and the Zuches turned in for the night. William, however, sat meditating in the middle of the living room after treating Walter.
He took the opportunity to open up the secondary meridians on his right shoulder, for his Shaylin Strongman’s Finger would become more lethal.
In fact, if he was given time to open up the secondary and tertiary meridians of his entire body, the Shaylin Strongman’s Fingers would be at its most powerful.
Thus, at the end of the day, the most important thing for William was to work on his Qi. He was currently in the rhythmic period of the Qi Cultivation State. This so–called rhythm was a breathing technique, and it was through this technique that he could provide his Qi with a unique rhythm.
The powers of Qi of different wavelengths could differ night and day, and the reason William’s Qi was called the Qi of Heaven and Earth was because of its unique rhythm.
In the Way of Heaven and Earth, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was ranked from level five to level one, with level one being the strongest and level five being the weakest. William was currently only at level four; he still had a long way to go.
A level four Qi possessed incredibly powerful penetrating power. One would be able to land an attack on someone without actually touching them.
Level three Qi, on the other hand, contained even more intense destructiveness, also known as explosiveness, which could explode in a short range. It was so powerful that a casual punch could rupture a person’s heart and crush their bones.
Time passed, and before William knew it, it was already 3.00AM. Suddenly, his Qi gathered, and his heart thumped; he succeeded in bringing his Qi to level three!
Sweet. The Shaylin Strongmans Fingers‘ power will double now that I have level three Oi
Suddenly, his cars jerked, and he looked out the doggo find a silhouette sticking to the wall aside like a

bat outside the main door.
Undoubtedly, that was a master skilled in tracking. This meant that the Zuches‘ whereabouts had been known, and this person had come to scout..
At that, William silently went to the door and pressed his thumb on the wall. Yes, he was using the Strongman Seal, which possessed penetration and explosiveness, even more so. Even if there stood an eight–inch thick wall in between him and the silhouette, the power remained terrifying.
Boof!
Like a bomb went off in the water, the silhouette sticking onto the wall slipped to the ground as his facial orifices bled out. The man died on the spot, for that one move crushed his heart, killing him instantly.
Followingly, William gently climbed over the wall and chucked the body into a deep ditch before sitting back down in the living room.
Gwendolyn and Cooper came out and asked what happened after the ruckus.
At that, William explained. “We’ve been found. But no matter. I’ve already mastered Shaylin Strongman’s Fingers. Now, let’s see if they’d come.”
The revelation shocked Gwendolyn, and she asked, “Where’s the guy?”
“Dead. I’ve chucked him into the ditch,‘ said William plainly. Yes, he just killed, but he was feeling absolutely calm too. After all, those who’d come at this time wanted them dead. Hence, he didn’t need to play nice. Besides, what started between each martial artist should be ended by martial artists. He wasn’t worried the government would get involved..
“I’ve asked around,” Cooper chimed in. “Kyle asked three Qi State masters to aid him. The one who just died is likely one of them.”
William nodded in agreement. “The guy I killed was indeed in Qi State.”
The revelation stumped Cooper this time, and his admiration for the young man grew again. The next time Kyle comes, it’ll be all hands on deck, William.”
“Kyle’s the key person here,” said William plainly. The rest will become a rabble once we kill him.”
“True. Cooper nodded in agreement. “But he’s also the strongest among them.”
As they spoke, William took a gander outside and announced, “They’re here. Turn the lights on.”
It was originally pitch black in the yard. After William turned the lights on, he strode to the main door and opened it.
Outside stood three men in black, and the person in the middle was rather stout and had a round face with piercing eyes. His hands, however, were fair and tender like a lady’s. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
William’s pupils shrank, for it meant the person in the middle was Kyle John, and his Iron Sand Palm was nearly invincible.
Kyle, however, had no clue who William was, and he asked, “Who are you?”
“Gwendolyn’s boyfriend.” William introduced plain

At that, Kyle sneered, “The Zuches‘ future son–in–law, ay? Very well! I shall kill you as well!”
Boom!
The ground rumbled. William attacked without wasting his time on another word! He didn’t do anything fancy either, pressing his Shaylin Strongman’s Fingers on Kyle’s chest right off the bat.
Kyle was taken aback at first, but very quickly, he sneered as he threw his fair, tender palm at William. His Iron Sand Palm had reached the Fifth Stage, and it never met a foc it couldn’t defeat. Hence, Kyle made nothing of William.
When William’s index finger touched Kyle’s palm, an incredibly sharp force burst out.
Boom!
Bits of blood and flesh flew everywhere as a hole formed in the middle of Kyle’s palm. At that, he zoomed back while screaming, but William had already arrived in front of him, striking the Shaylin Dragon Claw right on his chest.
P!
Kyle’s back suddenly bulged, for his spine, heart, and parts of his organs had been blown to bits, and his body mushed at once, drooping to the ground like mud.
The two men aside were appalled, and they zoomed back a few steps while looking at William with horror.
But instead of advancing. William stepped back immediately after killing Kyle. Then, he looked toward the two men. “Kyle John is dead. Do you two still want to fight?”
“Since he’s dead, the debt is gone as well,” said the man on the left.
At that, William said. “There’s a body in the ditch. It’s one of you guys. Take him with you, will you?”
The man on the left said nothing but pulled the dead body out of the ditch and left while the other person sighed under his breath. “Kyle miscalculated.“/
Then, just as he was about to turn around, William stopped him. “Hold on!”
“You want me to stay?” the man asked grimly.
“Tell Kyle’s disciples, if they want to seek revenge, come to me in the next three days! If they still dare come to me after the three days are over, I will personally pay each and every one of them a visit. Also, take John Doe here with you,” said William.
“Will do,” said the man, who disappeared into the night after carrying the corpse.
After William closed the door, Gwendolyn and Cooper immediately went up to the young man.
“Have they left?” asked Cooper, to which William revealed, “Kyle’s dead, and the other two retreated.”
Cooper heaved a sigh of relief at that. “Thank you so much, William!”
“It’s no big deal, Mr. Zuch,” said William as he stretched. “You should have someone look into the Johns. There should be news soon.”
