Lassim lay on the ground, his chest heaving as he struggled to catch his breath.
The explosion had taken him completely by surprise, the sheer force of it leaving him winded and disoriented.
As he slowly sat up, he surveyed the destruction he had wrought. The training dummy was in pieces, shattered fragments strewn across the arena.
He could see the scorch marks on the ground, the remnants of his experimental technique etched into the surroundings.
"What in the world just happened?" he muttered to himself, rubbing his head that was also rocked by the explosion. He had never expected such a violent reaction.
As he stood up, dusting himself off, he glanced around the deserted arena. It was the middle of the night, and thankfully, no one had been around to witness the havoc he had caused or scold him for destroying a target dummy as a servant rank disciple.
Big thank you to Comtinuum for the Golden Ticket! Every golden ticket helps me hopefully get promoted again in the app, so I really appreciate them!
Also, thank you to Ryugin and Amine_G for the powerstones! You are all consistent and I really appreciate it! Thank you 1000 times!
I’ll release the name of this new technique next chapter! Hopefully this explains the Sect Master’s harsh attitude he’s had towards Lassim so far. Don’t worry, we’ll see the playful side of the sect master eventually, but it looks like the world has big plans for the young hero unbeknownst to him.
