Lucky Spin: Godly Programming

Chapter 157 - 160: Escaped 3

Jeff watched the scene and his eyes fully capture the destructive energy surrounding the man. The once calm power had turned violent, filling him with awe.

"What kind of skill is this?" he wondered as he tried to comprehend it.

"I’ve got to give it to you," Simon said coolly as he placed a hand on his neck to crack a neck.

"This form of mine is only used as a last resort. Be proud, because only a handful of people have ever forced me into this," he added as he looked at his palm, slowly curling it into a fist.

Then Jeff who was just standing there widened his eyes suddenly. It just only took a moment when the man appeared right in front of him.

Completely startled that fist was already brushing against his cheek when he slipped backward in a sudden as well, his body blurring out of the attack line at the last possible moment.

But before his foot even touched the ground, Simon vanished and reappeared behind him.

"Amazing..." Jeff blurted out as he spun in reply.

But it seems to be a bit late, Simon was already in a stance and was ready to be deployed.

Zooming in, you can see his muscles coiling like compressed steel before unleashing a full power punch straight into he’s back.

The impact detonated like a thunderclap, sending Jeff hurtling forward as his breath escaped his mouth.

Because of the force, he was crashed into a thick tree trunk with the wood snapping cleanly in half as his body tore through it before rolling across the ground.

Accompanied by the dirt exploding upward in a wide arc, Jeff just pressed a hand into the soil using the momentum to flip back to stabilize his self.

Then he simply stood there, brushing his shoulder with his hand as if nothing had happened.

Seeing him completely unharmed after taking a direct hit, Simon trembled finding the situation utterly impossible.

Every opponent he had faced so far avoided direct confrontation because of his explosive power. Not only that, the punch he delivered was far from ordinary.

It was called the, ’Cloud Piercing Fist’, and this technique could even bend or destroyed a tank, rendering its armor useless.

He had trained this technique to perfection for over twenty years, earning the title of the fist of the CSA.

Yet now, he was completely overwhelmed by someone unknown.

"Wow old man, that punch of yours is very strong. If I had not prepared myself, I would have been injured," Jeff said genuinely praising his skill.

Hearing this praise caused Simon’s expression to twist, but the latter part of the sentence at least calmed him slightly.

Jeff did this not to insult or merely attempting to comfort his opponent.

It was the truth. because that punch was indeed powerful and if Jeff had done nothing, he would have been injured.

Not critically, but injured nonetheless, because he was caught off guard by the sudden power up and assault, he was too late to dodge.

After assessing the situation and finding the best strategy, he decided to use kinetic energy.

When he felt that fist was slowly connecting to his self, he reacted swiftly as the Kinetic energy in his veins pulses, rippling through his muscles.

Thus scattering the force across every part of him instead of letting it explode inward.

After that it initiated a second wave that traveled in the opposite direction, bleeding away the impact into the shattered ground beneath his feet.

What should have crushed his spine instead collapsed the trees in front of him, the damage redirected away from his body with perfect efficiency.

If you want to know, kinetic energy can be redirected or dispersed when applied across a wider surface.

This is the reason why martial artists in real life use palm techniques to reduce impact damage.

It can also be neutralized by releasing an opposite force, similar to how shock absorbers in vehicles convert sudden impacts into smaller, manageable vibrations.

"Stop calling me old man, aren’t you an old monster yourself?" Simon scoffed.

Hearing this Jeff simply tilted his head, "Nope. I’m not even past my twenties yet," he replied as if it were completely normal.

Hearing this absurd response, both Simon and Cara knew that the man was deliberately messing with their heads.

Because who could give birth to someone this terrifying? From the strength he had shown so far, he had already surpassed the Earthly Warrior Rank.

Simon was ranked third, and those above the Earthly Warriors List were called monsters or devils.

Even though he held such a high rank, he had only ever seen three person who had reached the Sky Warrior Rank.

One of them is Sword Sage of the Panzon Family from the central capital.

Simon had witnessed his brilliance once during a regional tournament, an event that occurred only once every forty years.

For added information, there were only thirty people in the Sky Warrior Rank, which showed just how rare and scarce they truly were.

At that time, Simon had been very young and calculating the years, that man should now be old. Other than this old man, there is the Director of his organization and the sect leader of the, ’Jade Petal Sect’.

About the rest? He had only heard the names, but this are only the people that he had seen before.

He understood that the person standing before him must be someone below that level, yet definitely within the Sky Warrior list.

After all, he had already faced both the second and first ranked in the Earthly Warrior List, and this was the first time he had ever felt such hopelessness.

He still possessed an ultimate technique, but that was something he would only use in a true life and death battle. This situation did not call for it.

"Do you think we are idiots? Even if you started training from your mother’s womb, you could never reach this level of strength," Simon roared.

"I’m not lying though," Jeff replied with shake of his head.

What he said was truly the truth and if this man was really telling the truth, then it perfectly showed how advanced Terra X was.

Because at this level, one would only be considered a recruit after joining an organization. A recruit who had just finished training, isn’t that absurd right?

The fact that the gap in level between Terra X and Earth was this wide made him wonder what he himself would become if he ever reached the eighth stage.

He could not help but fantasize it as he shook his head and focus on reality itself.

"That’s enough! Even if I am no match, it doesn’t mean I will go down without a fight," Simon roared.

He was utterly infuriated because this man was clearly treating him like a joke.

As a prideful man who had earned countless honors and awards, his pride was greater than Mount Tai itself.

With a blast forward he went for an assault in a straight line, the ground rupturing beneath his feet as he summoned the full might of the Cloud Piercing Strike.

His muscles shook and trembled as he gathered everything, he had in this. Jeff had already learnt his lesson as he looked even deeper at this attack.

His golden eyes were glowing as he stared at the punch that is coming in high speed, he can fully see that his fist tore through the air with a force that bent the wind itself.

"Is it like this?" he mumbled.

The moment he said those when the punch was closing in, Simon eyes widened in disbelief as he saw that man lowered his stance.

Instead of dodging he planted his foot lightly on the shattered earth before pulling back his arm in the exact form of the Cloud Piercing Strike.

"Are you mocking me?!!" Rage and humiliation twisted inside Simon.

The very move that he was imitating was the very technique that he had spent half his life mastering.

He refused to retreat, wanting to teach this arrogant man by mocking him and copying his strongest technique to exchange fist with him.

Then the moment came, they collided in a thunderous exchange and the result was instant, the unknown man’s punch overpowered his completely.

"Impossible..." Simon eyes trembled as he felt like his life was useless.

The impact rippled through he’s arm as he was hurled across the battlefield.

He crashed and tumble until he came to a stop with his limb twisted and broken from the sheer difference in power.

But as he lay there while staring at the sky, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"How can this be... Half of my life was dedicated to perfecting this technique... but why?" he questioned.

His gaze then fell toward Jeff who was still standing there, his fist not yet retracted as Simon calmly looked at it.

He can see that it was even more refined than his own. Feeling his years was wasted, he could not help but vomit a mouthful of blood, as the physical damage he suffered was nothing compared to the emotional blow itself.

"Captain, are you fine? Please don’t die," a gentle voice filled with care can be heard.

It was Cara as she hurried over to his side and gently lifted his head, using her lap as a pillow to support him.

Seeing this scene, Jeff felt his emotions stir unknowingly as he watched how she cared for him.

"Where the heck is this emotion coming from? There’s no way I’m a possessive man," he muttered to himself while reflecting on his own behavior.

Soon after while he was contemplating, the area was flooded with helicopters accompanied with a big headlight.

Not only that, but Jeff could also hear many people slowly closing in slowly surrounding him from all sides.

As the headlights of the helicopter spotted him, it stayed on his figure following with a warning.

"Stand down. I repeat, stand down, or we will open fire," a voice shouted as a Gatling gun was aimed at him.

Instead of surrendering, even with two helicopters targeting him, he looked deeply at the two people staring back at him.

"Before I go, know that I didn’t injure him badly. He’ll be fine with just a week of rest and also, I’m not the enemy you’re trying to catch. If you don’t believe me, go ask the people I saved at the police station. That’s all," he said before vanishing on the spot.
