Chapter 57: The morning spar (1)
The following day, Hex woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.
It was still dark when he made his way to the training camp.
'Let's see how much my strength has improved after I received my second Blessing.' Hex felt eager to see the number of crystals he could light up now.
His second Blessing was a boost type. Before participating in the first round he had measured his strength.
'The last time I had managed to light up seven crystals with white light and seven with red light. Perfectly in balance, as required.'
As he stood before the equipment, Hex recalled the result of the last time he was here. Only a few days had passed but Hex had undergone a huge transformation.
With a sharp breath, he focused on his target, clearing his mind of all distracting thoughts.
Hex could feel his muscles brimming with raw power. If he hadn't been so focused, he might have noticed the air being displaced when he flexed his muscles.
His stance was firm. He stepped forward and rotated his hips halfway. With great concentration, he punched.
Bam!
The ground shook. The equipment trembled. The impact created a shockwave, causing even the nearby window to clatter.
