I’m Someone Else

Chapter 281

Chapter 281

Thomas moved and shifted around, trying to evade Cornelius and Bartholomew’s attacks, and he eventually found himself backed into a corner.

This is it! Cornelius and Bartholomew exclaimed excitedly in response, their eyes lighting up.

Huff! Huff!

Each of them threw a fierce punch at Thomas’ face.

You think you can dodge, huh? Try and dodge this, you rascal! Die!

The two elders had already made up their minds about Thomas in advance. They acknowledged that his footwork was a bit elusive and his evasion was quick, but there was nothing to fear. They didn’t consider him a real threat.

Cornered, Thomas raised his hands and caught the elders’ fists.

Bam! Bam!

Cornelius and Bartholomew were astonished, their eyes widening with incredulity.

Is this kid even human?! Not only is he fast, but he’s also incredibly powerful! They had given their all in that combined attack, yet Thomas still managed to catch them. What sort of monstrosity is this? How is this possible?!

To make matters worse, they felt as if their fists were being held by a pair of pliers, shackled firmly in Thomas’ grasp. Both men were unable to withdraw their hands.

It was evident that Thomas’ strength was not inferior to theirs!

It was a terrifying notion. Cornelius and Bartholomew had dedicated their lives to studying martial arts, and though they were getting older, they had cultivated powerful internal energy. In terms of strength, they were far beyond ordinary people.

As experienced veterans of real combat, the two elders quickly came around after their momentary stupefaction. Almost simultaneously, they lifted their legs and kicked Thomas.

“Die!”

Cornelius and Bartholomew could almost envision Thomas dying instantly after being booted down. After all, he had their fists under control. If he dared to let go, their relentless onslaught would resume. Of course, they didn’t think Thomas would be foolish enough to release his grip. With his limited movements, he wouldn’t be able to dodge their kicks.

Thomas would die in their hands this day!

Bam!

Whoosh!

However, to their astonishment, Thomas had seemingly anticipated their movements and leaped into the air, blocking their legs with his own.

Then, the young man soared high into the air, reaching an unbelievable height. He was like a martial arts master in the movies, capable of flying and scaling the walls. He also resembled a soaring eagle with an exceptionally graceful posture.

With a clean and swift somersault, Thomas appeared behind the two elders.

Thomas executed the series of actions seamlessly and at breakneck speed. If one did not look closely, they would think Thomas could teleport, shifting positions in the blink of an eye.

“This is…”

“He’s yielding and redirecting their attacks!”

Everyone, including Ignatius, was stunned by Thomas’ remarkable technique.

The reason Thomas moved so quickly that not even Cornelius and Bartholomew could react in time was that he yielded and redirected their attacks.

It might sound simple, but it required extremely precise control over the user’s strength. One slight mistake could lead to self-injury instead of utilizing the opponent’s force. Therefore, those who mastered this skill were exceedingly rare in reality. Not even Bartholomew, Cornelius, and Ignatius achieved such a level of control over their strength.

“Elder Ignatius, you said something about Clifford yielding and redirecting their attack just now. What’s that?” Quentin asked, perplexed. The elders all share the same look of surprise. Could it be a powerful technique? It seems quite ordinary, though. No one perceived anything extraordinary about that move either.

“What he’s doing is using his enemy’s force for himself. If executed properly, not only will the enemy’s attacks fail to harm him in the slightest, but they will also enhance his strength. Such an extraordinary skill only ever appeared in legends and has long been lost. To think Clifford has learned it!” Ignatius suppressed his astonishment and explained it to Quentin.

Gasp!

Ignatius didn’t hold back his voice. Hence, everyone in the room heard him.

Quentin, Kirk, Logan, and Blake, who was leaning against the wall in a corner, all took in a sharp breath. According to Ignatius, not only would the enemy’s attacks fail to harm Thomas in the slightest,

but they would also be used to his advantage! Won’t that mean Thomas is invincible?!

“Elder Ignatius, if what you’re saying is true, does that mean no one can do anything to Thomas?” Quentin asked grimly. Initially, he didn’t think much of Thomas. But now, he thought the young man was possibly the embodiment of the devil. Just where did this demon come from?! The young prodigies of Capitalis are probably no match for him either!

Ignatius shook his head without a word.

There was only one way to counter Thomas’ move—it was to overpower him with absolute strength, using a force that he couldn’t borrow to shatter his skill. However, judging by the strength Thomas had just displayed, Cornelius and Bartholomew could not do that! For them to vow to kill Thomas… Fat chance!

Cornelius and Bartholomew were now stuck in a tight spot. Thomas, who had previously only defended without fighting back, now assaulted them like he had gone mad. With every punch he threw, a sonic boom erupted, just like the previous ones they had created!

“What the f*ck?!” Ignatius, Cornelius, and Bartholomew cursed simultaneously. They had trained their whole lives to develop formidable internal energy, earning them the qualifications to produce the sound of breaking the air with their punches. Yet, someone as young as Thomas was already able to channel his internal energy! He hadn’t successfully cultivated internal energy, had he? Otherwise, how could he create the sound of breaking the air?!

Little did they know that Thomas didn’t possess any internal energy at all. The reason he was able to do so was solely due to the sheer strength of his physical body! He had already pushed the limits of his muscular strength to the extreme!

The tables turned entirely. Thomas now shifted from a passive stance to an aggressive one, each move more ferocious than the last, completely overpowering Cornelius and Bartholomew, who had no

means of fighting back.

If news of this spread, nobody would believe it! Each martial arts expert from the six major families was practically invincible on their own. Thomas, on the other hand, was just a greenhorn. How could a mere kid single-handedly suppress two martial arts experts who had joined forces without showing any sign of resistance?!

That was the unshakable truth, though!

Thomas had previously evaded their attacks to understand their patterns. Now that he had a good grasp of them, he naturally wouldn’t hold back and aimed every move at ending their lives.

Cornelius and Bartholomew didn’t possess the elusive footwork Thomas had. Unable to dodge in time, they could only raise their hands to defend themselves.

Bam! Bam! Bam!
