Now, strikes followed.
The intensity didn't drop when compared to the kicks.
In fact, it increased.
Since Kyle's legs were now that much stronger, he could put more power into his fists.
His arms didn't just break.
They turned into slush.
From time to time, the top Core Disciple arrived to take a look at Meteor Hammer.
Watching Kyle had become difficult for him.
In the beginning, he had been confident.
When he had seen the initial intensity of Kyle's training, he had believed that Kyle had been desperate.
Yet, when the intensity didn't decrease at all, he became a bit nervous.
Could he actually achieve what he had claimed?
He still had been able to cope when Kyle had unlocked his first Cluster.
Yet, when he unlocked his second Cluster even faster than his first, he became desperate.
He had to increase his power in some way!
But how?!
He had already consumed all the treasures for the ninth Cluster.
While he was probably 70% of his way to unlocking it, he needed to get more treasures first.
Comprehending Laws also wouldn't make a difference since he would need to condense a new Complex Law to increase his Battle-Strength first.
There was no one with a comparable power to him, which meant he couldn't increase his Momentum, and any Wild Planet with beasts on it would be too dangerous. After all, what if a powerful Crusher Beast appeared?
He couldn't grow stronger in a short time.
Everything needed either resources or time.
He knew that he would lose against Meteor Hammer, but would he actually lose so convincingly that it wouldn't even count as a True Battle?
He just hoped that Kyle wouldn't unlock any more Clusters.
After all, unlocking the Clusters in one's arms was a bit harder than unlocking the Clusters in one's legs.
From time to time, he watched Kyle out of morbid curiosity.
He was confronted with his inability to grow as he watched Kyle's power soar.
Kyle was already as powerful as him, and yet, his growth didn't slow down.
BOOOOM!
After 60 years total, the cube shook even more.
When the top Disciple saw that, all his hope vanished.
Kyle had unlocked another Cluster.
Three Clusters in 60 years.
It was over.
The top Disciple lost all hope.
"Three!" he heard Kyle shout, which was quickly followed by the violent sounds of a fist hitting something very hard.
Kyle kept striking without end.
He just kept going.
The top Disciple only sighed.
There was no more hope. As Kyle kept striking, the Disciple came and went.
He had never felt this helpless before.
Power was right there! Anyone could train and become stronger!
And yet…
Why couldn't he just take it?!
He could see someone attaining more and more power, while he couldn't!
It was so frustrating!
In the end, the top Disciple gritted his teeth and left.
He would go to a Wild Planet!
So what if he had to take a risk?!
If he didn't do anything, nothing would change!
Meanwhile, Kyle just kept striking.
More years passed.
70…
71…
72…
He was still striking.
Finally, after 75 years…
BOOOOM!
The cube almost fell to its other side as Kyle unleashed a powerful strike.
