Chapter 252 Taking Action
After leading Michelle and Julia out, William sat them down and spoke earnestly to them. "If you ever need help, don't go looking for those ill-behaved men. It may be too late if something happens."
"We understand. If we had known you had Sophia's concert tickets, we wouldn't have bothered with that scumbag. But William, how did you get so many tickets? And they're front row VIP tickets!" Julia happily held a VIP ticket in her hand.
"I have my ways," William responded calmly.
"Well, since we're all here, let's grab a meal, go shopping, and watch a movie together!" Michelle said, holding onto William's arm.
"Alright, I'll accompanying you." William nodded, accepting their joyful invitation.
In the following days, William continuously unleashed his superhuman abilities under Beauvoir's guidance. He began practicing Inch Punch and projectile abilities.
Simultaneously, Ralph managed to acquire more tickets to Sophia's concert. This would allow them to infiltrate more people, increasing the chances of protecting Sophia successfully.
"When performing the Inch Punch, you shouldn't use your full strength in the beginning. Only exert thirty percent of your power. But when your fist is one inch away from the target, channel your superpower into your wrist and exert all your strength. This way, the impact on the enemy will be multiplied," Beauvoir explained, demonstrating the technique on a large tree in front of the villa.
"Come on, give it a try." Beauvoir stepped aside, giving way to William as he faced the large tree and began his attempts.
"Use three parts of your strength, stop one inch from the enemy, and channel the power through your wrist," William noted silently, following Beauvoir's guidance and attempting it himself.
On his first punch, William couldn't quite control his strength and landed a direct hit on the tree, luckily without causing it to crack.
On his second attempt, he managed to control three parts of his strength but failed to use the energy to channel the force through his wrist, resulting in another punch directly hitting the tree- a failure again.
By the third attempt, he grasped the essence of channeling energy through his wrist slightly but still failed at delivering the force.
The fourth attempt was also unsuccessful.
The fifth and sixth attempts didn't quite achieve mastery, but William could sense the threshold of his power, adding a hint of joy to his efforts.
Seventh, eighth, ninth attempts. The exploration and experimentation continued.
...
For an entire day, William dedicated himself to mastering the Inch Punch, practicing relentlessly against the large tree. If one tree broke, he would switch to another tree and continue.
Beauvoir was pleased to witness William's determination.
"In the future, passing on my skill will depend on you." Beauvoir sat on a large rock, taking a sip from a bottle.
As the sun set, William continued his strenuous practice, while Beauvoir had nearly finished his drink. Just as he was preparing to leave, a cold voice sounded from behind him.
"Beauvoir, I also want to learn the Inch Punch. Can you teach me?"
Hearing the voice, Beauvoir turned his head and saw a woman in a black leather pantsuit standing there, exuding a cool and compelling aura against the evening breeze.
"You must be Lillian," Beauvoir pondered and replied.
"Yes, I want to learn the Inch Punch. I am willing to become your disciple and join your clan," Lillian said with determined eyes.
Having witnessed Beauvoir's sparring sessions with William, she believed William was already impressive, but Beauvoir seemed on another level altogether.
To avenge her fallen family members, she knew she had to enhance her own strength, and becoming Beauvoir's disciple was the perfect opportunity.
"You have a strong murderous aura, but I like it." Beauvoir nodded but also advised, "While having thoughts of killing is natural, you must not let it control your rationality. Transform that killing intent into grief and anger, and let it motivate you."
"I will remember that," Lillian said.
"If you wish to be my disciple, kneel before me," Beauvoir said in front of William.
Beauvoir put on airs in front of Lillian. After all, considering William's identity and qualifications, Beauvoir himself had asked him to become his apprentice. On the other hand, Lillian had come to seek him out on her own, so there was no way the treatment would be the same.
"Alright." Lillian didn't hesitate. She immediately knelt down before Beauvoir, formally recognizing him as her mentor.
"Hmm, our family is the Inches Guild." Beauvoir was pleased today. He didn't expect that even after ten years, his Inches Guild would be able to enroll students.
"But isn't William different? He hasn't joined the family yet," Lillian expressed her confusion.
"He's still my student, isn't he? Besides, the future of Inches Guild depends on him," Beauvoir said with a smile, his words hinting at a sense of mystery.
Lillian couldn't figure out the meaning behind this, but when she saw William throwing a punch that made a large tree fall down with a loud crash, she couldn't help but open her mouth in astonishment.
Beauvoir also witnessed this scene and proudly said, "This guy has a high aptitude. Once his potential is stimulated, his progress is rapid. Dilma worked so hard to help him unleash his potential, but it ended up benefiting me!"
William, at this moment, looked at the fallen tree that had responded to his punch. His eyes were filled with joy.
"I finally succeeded! From now on, I can instantly inflict damage twice as powerful as my own strength. With more training, I should be able to deliver even stronger blows."
William wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling excited about his progress.
Compared to the intricate moves of Jujitsu, the Inch Punch was a simple yet effective boxing technique. No matter what moves the opponent used, one punch with multiplied power would be enough. Even if a car was placed in front of William, he could knock it over with just one punch.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Sophia's concert. On this day, William arrived early with his group at the sports stadium. When they arrived, they were met with a crowd that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Sophia's popularity is truly remarkable," Sharon commented, surprised by the sea of people outside.
"That's right. Since she joined the second season of 'Wilderness Life,' her popularity has soared. Who knows who will be lucky enough to marry this goddess in the future!" Lillian said. She was also invited by William today.
Anyone with even a bit of strength was invited by William, totaling nearly a hundred people.
"Are the GPS locators ready?" William turned to Gerald, worried that with so many people, the opponents might take advantage of the situation and snatch Sophia away. So, in order to track her, he had implanted a tracking device on Sophia. Even if she was captured, he would have the opportunity to track her.
"They're ready. I've planted the tracker in this bracelet. We won't lose her." Gerald handed a white bracelet to William.
"I didn't expect you to have this ability." William didn't expect Gerald to be able to install the tracker in a bracelet. It was indeed useful to have him around.
"Alright, I've already told everyone the plan. Leave half of the people outside, and the rest will come with me."
With that, William led his team into the stadium. The success of this mission was crucial for Sophia's safety, so failure was not an option. The consequences would be unimaginable.
