I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Chapter 27 - Earth-Shattering Fist



"Hahaha, you caught on pretty quickly." Albion said.

"It's fine if you do not want to teach me, Young Master Albion. It was rude of me to ask such a sensitive topic. I know that every powerful ancient martial art technique closely guarded like national treasures." Klein Seymour shook his head ruefully.

"Eh? No, it is not that serious. I was just joking just now. If you seriously want to learn, I will teach you one; and that goes for your crew too if they want to learn." Albion stated.

"Seriously? Do we need to kowtow and accept you as our master? A technique from Young Master Albion cannot possibly be ordinary." Klein Seymour said.

'Actually, it is pretty ordinary. It is one of the most basic techniques that the Dark Emperor possessed!' Albion thought after he reviewed the Dark Emperor's memories for a related technique.

However, after a moment, he froze and slap his forehead.

'Ah, dammit. I did it again.'

Albion frowned.

He had unwittingly relied on the Dark Emperor's knowledge again. This was quickly becoming a habit, an addiction. It was just like fapping. He would keep doing it even though he knows it is not good for him.

"Is there a problem, Young Master Albion?" Klein Seymour asked, not understanding why Albion suddenly smacked his head. Did he realize something and suddenly changed his mind?

"No."

Albion shook his head and pushed the thoughts to the back of his head. He can only worry about it later.

"I said I will help you deal with the Bloodmoon Gang, but it will be a problem if you die on me while I am not around. However, if you were to learn my Earth-Shattering Fist, even if you are just a Lv.3 Hunter, you will still be able to stand your ground against Lv.7 Hunters like that previous gang leader."

Klein Seymour's eyes lit up, and asked, "Earth-Shattering Fist? This ancient martial art technique sounds amazing! Will this technique give me the strength of 10 elephants if I practice it?"

"Eh? No, this is just an ordinary set of fist technique for breaking boulders. It does have the effect of improving your body's foundation, but its main purpose is to help you control your strength. I can see that you have never practiced martial arts before. This technique will help you quickly adapt to your strength as a Lv.3 Hunter."

Albion stated.

He was not exactly sure how he could tell this just by looking at Klein Seymour's build. Perhaps, he might have also inherited some of the Dark Emperor's instincts while absorbing his memories.

"Eh, I see."

Klein Seymour expressed some mild disappointment. He guessed that he was simply expecting too much.

"Don't look down on the Earth-Shattering Fist. It might just be a basic technique for building your foundation and shattering boulders, but if it is used on a human body, their bones will be pulverized into powder." Albion explained and said, "Go gather everyone to the top deck. I will teach everyone who wishes to learn."

Klein Seymour startled before he excitedly answered, "Right away, Young Master Albion!"

He had misunderstood. How is a technique that can shatter a person's bones into powder be considered ordinary? Anything ordinary in Albion's words is actually extraordinary to him!

"C-Captain, can I learn?" The pilot stuttered with nervousness and anticipation.

Klein Seymour did not answer but directly look towards Albion for an answer.

"I said everyone who is willing to learn, I will teach," Albion responded with a shrug. Was anyone even properly listening to him?

After receiving his answer, Klein Seymour nodded to the pilot and said, "Remember to put the ship into autopilot before meeting me on the top deck with the others."

"Yes, captain!"

Moments later, everyone was gathered on the top deck after hearing the news. No one wanted to pass up on the opportunity. Albion had some time to review the Earth-Shattering Fist technique while he waited.

"Everyone is here, Young Master Albion." Klein Seymour declared with anticipation.

Albion swept everyone a glance and nodded before he began to speak, "Everyone, watch carefully. I will only demonstrate the Earth-Shattering Fist a few times and explain the essence behind it once. How much you can learn from it will depend on your own comprehension and talents for martial arts."

Everyone nodded seriously and watched Albion with rapt attention.

Seeing this, Albion did not hesitate and immediately began displaying the first set of the Earth-Shattering Fist technique by punching at the empty air. His punches generated a strong shockwave in the air, but that was about it.

It just looked like ordinary punches packed with a lot of power behind it. Many crew members were confused at first, but seeing the punches repeatedly, they began to understand that the punches were not as simple as it seemed.

"This time, I will demonstrate the power of the Earth-Shattering Fist on this wooden crate. It is not very important and can be used for the demonstration, right?" Albion asked.

'Even if it is important, we are willing to let you use it for the demonstration!' Everyone thought.

"No, it is not important. Feel free to use it, Young Master Albion." Klein Seymour answered his question.

Albion nodded and punched the wooden crate with the Earth-Shattering Fist. Everyone expected the punch to penetrate a hole straight through the wooden crate, but that was not the case.

The fist stopped at the moment of impact and shattered the entire wooden crate, blowing it apart.

Everyone's eyes widened with amazement and shock. They had seen ancient martial arts before and definitely find it fascinating, but they never understood how it worked.

"Can anyone tell me what happened just now?" Albion queried the group to test their comprehension. Seeing a person quick to raise their hand, Albion immediately chose the person, "You over there with the white cap. Tell me, what happened?"

"Young Master Albion punched the wooden crate and blew it apart!" The crewmate with the white cap answered confidently.

"…"

Albion looked down and pinched his glabella with his index and thumb like he was suffering from a migraine. He was expecting too much from a group of muscle brains.

Pak!

The white-capped crewmate was smacked on the back of the head by the person next to him, causing him to turn around and look at the person with confusion.

"Why did you hit me?"

"I hit you because you're a f*cking idiot! Everyone can see what happened. Do you think Young Master Albion needs to ask us about this? He's talking about the first technique!" The angry crewmate explained.

"I see."

The white-capped crewmate scratched his head awkwardly.

"Can someone else tell me what happened?" Albion asked again, not expecting much from the group.

Several hands were raised the first time. But after the second question, only one hand was raised. Evidently, a few crew members had the same answer as the white-capped crewmate.

"Sigh, alright. You, then. Can you tell me what happened?" Albion picked the buff crewmate with a scar on his forehead.

"I think Young Master Albion punched twice, but I am not too sure. I could be wrong." The buff crewmate answered unconfidently.

"Oh? No, you are completely right."

Albion glanced at the person seriously before he explained, "The essence behind the Earth-Shattering Fist is not power, but speed and precision. The trick to the Earth-Shattering Fist lies in the second fist. It must happen instantaneously along with the first fist that, in essence, they become one fist and create a rippling shockwave that will spread throughout the target…"

Albion continued to explain the essence behind the Earth-Shattering Fist.

After he finished, he ended with, "Alright, you can all continue to practice on your own.. How far you go, you can only depend on yourself."
