Magic God Awaken

One punch

Mo Shen beamed with satisfaction as he felt his newly transformed body. He now had a more muscular physique, with bulging muscles that could be clearly seen through his clothing. This transformation was a significant change from his former average build. It was a good thing he had a spell to reduce his muscle mass. If not, Mia will surely be surprised to see such an abrupt change.

After spending a night reinforcing his newly improved physique, Mo Shen went back home. Just as he expected, his body had become more vigorous despite not sleeping. He feels fresh and full of energy. The feeling was something no ordinary human could achieve.

"The improvement in my body is good enough to fight Martial Warriors. With this strength, I can go forward with my plan to earn more money."

He was worried about the interruptions of big sects. They had a covert organization that dealt with individuals who broke their rules of confidentiality or cultivated without authorization. This group was known for its strict enforcement of the rules and would not hesitate to use force to maintain the secrecy of their society.

"According to my memory, the individuals involved in this organization are very influential people. Even the president of this country was just their puppet." Mo Shen muttered to himself. He was thinking of ways to earn money without alerting them.

With his current strength, he could now confront a Peak Martial Warrior combatant with no issue. But he would have to hide his capabilities until the time was right for him to reveal them.

After having breakfast, He went to the bathroom to take a bath. Although he could use magic to clean himself, he chose not to. There was something thrilling about taking a shower after a night of hard work, and for Mo Shen, simple pleasures like this were rare and needed to be cherished.

At school, Mo Shen had a normal day with no disruptions. He had breaks between classes and attended more classes after lunch. H

Mo Shen pretended to pay attention in his classes, not needing to put in the effort with his high intelligence. He believed he was the smartest person in the world.

"Hey, did you hear about the huge sale going on at the mall? They're having some great discounts. Wanna check it out after class?" Mia said as she stood up and approached Mo Shen.

"Sounds good to me, let's go check it out," Mo Shen replied with a nod.

Mia's eyes lit up and she hopped with excitement.

"It's just the mall, why are you so excited?" "Mo Shen was not able to hold his laughter.

"We…well…I.." Mia stumbled over her words, clearly flustered and embarrassed.

Mo Shen smiled at Mia's flustered state, and he was filled with joy at seeing her adorable side.

He stood up and packed up his things. Mia was girly, and she gets along well with him. As a result, it gave the impression that they were dating. After all, who would believe that nothing was going on between the two of them?

Mo Shen could see that Mia was becoming more attached to him with each passing day. He was confident that, eventually, she would come to see him as more than just a friend and her feelings for him would grow stronger. Maybe, she had already fallen for him and was simply not aware of it. 

As Mo Shen quickly packed his things, a tall male student from another class stood up and approached them, blocking their path with his muscular arms like a street thug.

The male student had a menacing aura, his black hair slicked back in a confident style, and his dark, piercing eyes added to his intimidating appearance. 

"Do you need something ?" Mo Shen asked calmly, sizing up the hostile student blocking his way. The student's face was contorted with anger, his fists tightly clenched.

Mo Shen stayed quiet, finding it entertaining how events were deviating from his recollection. He couldn't recall this guy causing any significant trouble before.

"You're coming with me," the brutish student ordered, gripping Mia's hand and roughly pulling her towards him with such force that she nearly stumbled.

She struggled to break free, but her efforts were in vain.

"Let go of her," Mo Shen spoke calmly. His demeanor was collected, giving off an aura as if the person in front of him was just a mere annoyance.

"What are you going to do?" the brutish student sneered. "Fight me? Hehehe." He tightened his grip on Mia's hand.

The air around them thickened with palpable tension as they stared at each other.

"Then you can die"  Mo Shen's arm shot forward as his fist swung through the air with unbridled aggression. The sound of his knuckles cracking echoed through the room

Boom!!!

The brute student hit the floor with a loud thud, his vision went blank. The speed and power of the blow left him unable to comprehend what just happened before he lose consciousness.

"Wow, since when did Mo Shen become this strong?"

"Did you see that? That punch was too fast"

"Omg, I thought I was watching a fast-forward movie when he moves"

"Did Bruce-lee reincarnate in his body? What the hell is that punch?"

After Mo Shen's show of force, the classroom buzzed with excited murmurs as those present struggled to process what they had just witnessed. Their adrenaline levels were too high to simply brush it off, they needed to voice their amazement.

Mo Shen paid no attention to the surprised faces and grabbed his bag, leading Mia out of the classroom. Mia was blushing all over, still feeling the thrill from what just happened.

"When did he become so strong?" Mia muttered to herself while looking at his back. For some reason, his back looks wider than usual.

The news of Mo Shen knocking down the school gang leader with one punch immediately circulated in the whole district. Even the gang leaders of other schools were shocked to see his punch. It was so fast; to the point where even professional boxers will be hard-pressed to dodge it. No, there's no doubt that even professional boxers would be startled if they received a punch like that.

The gang leaders at the other school are no pushovers. They know how to fight, and some of them are already capable of fighting professionally. They also know that the person Mo Shen beat up was no ordinary individual. He was someone trained in Karate, and yet he fails to react in time.

Ironically, Mo Shen holds back a lot with that punch. If he hit him for real, he would break like a thin glass, only cultivators who have tempered their bodies to the warrior rank could withstand his attack.

Even normal Martial Warriors would be heavily injured if they let Mo Shen punch them directly.

He did not want to escalate the issue. That's why he gave the guy a chance by asking politely. Who would have expected that the guy would mock him instead?

"Humans will be the same regardless of any era," Mo Shen shook his head.

While they were on their way, Mia did not talk at all. She was still overwhelmed by what happened, plus her emotions for Mo Shen had become more complicated. She was feeling something strange in her heart.

Mo Shen saw the expression on her face and felt it was his responsibility to cheer her up, so he began to tell her a story about a man who had too much ego but was humbled by someone stronger. It was a very ironic and funny story.
