Chapter 191
Oliver was dumbfounded. He looked down carefully and found that the sturdy and beautiful rosewood desk had indeed been smashed by his fist. He didn’t care about the millions of dollars he had spent on the desk, but was surprised at the strength of his blow.
How had he achieved such power after only a few hours of Standing Meditation?
Even Wayne and Simon, who were skilled in martial arts, couldn’t do such damage with just one punch.
Oliver was surprised and delighted. He picked up the guidebook and read it silently again.
Businessmen did not complain of an excess of money, people who
worked didn’t complain about promotions, and of course Oliver wouldn’t mind becoming more powerful!
Although he had Wayne, Simon and others to closely protect him, he still had only one life. It was better to become more powerful than to put his life into other people’s hands.
The experience offered in Raymond’s guidebook had been very helpful to Oliver, but he still felt a bit doubtful. It seemed that he had mastered the Standing Meditation with almost no difficulty.
Originally, he had thought he had advanced a small bit. But after looking at what Raymond had said, he realized that it had been a great achievement. He had united his heart and mind with both internal strength and external strength, and was already a master.
Five Element Fist followed after the Standing Meditation.
The so-called Five Elements corresponded to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, which in turn correspond to the five fist strategies of splitting, bursting, drilling, cannon and horizontal.
Five Element Fist was not a simple fist skill, but a way that focused on the inner self. The fist style nourishes internal aura, and is known as “the internal art”.
The Five Element Fist corresponded to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively, which in turn corresponded to the lung, the kidney, the liver, the heart and the spleen. It strengthened those five organs, and unblocked the veins and arteries, and particularly

emphasized the connection with the meridians mentioned in fantasy novels.
Oliver read it with great interest. He read the description of Five Elements Boxing several times until he felt that he was completely familiar with it before practicing it according to the book’s descriptions. In the beginning, Oliver felt awkward and stiff again, but he really did seem to have some talent. After a few tries, he found the trick and again became familiar with it.
Raymond’s book was truly both authentic and thoughtful, quite different from the guidebooks sold in bookstores on the market.
After practicing countless times, Oliver felt more powerful. When practicing the Wall Fist, the aura that accompanied his strength felt sharp and indefeatable.
The Drilling Style corresponded to water. It was like a gentle breeze brushing past the waves, soft and continuous, but indefatigable, overcoming power with gentle softness.
The Bursting Style corresponded to wood, as well as the liver.
Another attribute of wood is “living”, and Oliver’s Immortality Energy seemed to be particularly interested in the “wood” attribute, just a bee that had smelled honey.
Compared to the previous two styles, Oliver felt more interested in this style. The more he practiced, the more excited he became, and the stronger his aura became, his life force glowing brighter and stronger.
Next came the Cannon Fist and Horizontal Fist. The five elements of gathered together, uniting mind and strength.
After Oliver successfully practiced the Five Element Fist, his mind suddenly cleared. He realized that he could even sense movement more than 33 feet from him.
He had felt something like this before, when he had first obtained the Immortality Energy, but it had been far less obvious and powerful than what he now felt.
Oliver quietly felt his inner strength, then punched the desk again. This punch was far less powerful than the one before.
But unexpectedly, with a loud sound, the thick desktop broke apart, along with the supporting legs.
The laptop on the desk also broke in the fall.

Oliver was surprised and amused. After understanding the power of the Five Element Fist, it was so powerful that the strength he’d obtained from the Standing Meditation seemed like nothing in comparison.
In fact, the Five Element Fist was merely a way to use the strength of the five elements.
Oliver used to have unmatched inner energy, but he still couldn’t compete with those first-class masters because he had no skills.
He had to learn combat arts before his inner energy could have any use.
Oliver’s Book of Immortality gave him unequaled energy, but he had always lacked the means to use it.
Now, the means had appeared in the form of Style Fist, a fist style that used internal energy. This forced the Immortality Energy to course around his body. Naturally, it was overqualified for this, but it had also opened another world for Oliver.
Thanks to the Immortality Energy, the Style Fist came naturally to him, allowing him to master it on his first try.
Now, aside from lacking a bit of experience, his attainments in Standing Meditation and Five Element Fist were far higher than those of Raymond, who was known as the pinnacle of Style Fist! Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Originally, he had wanted to practice the final Twelve Forms Fist as well, but the sound of him smashing his desk had alarmed everyone who was outside. Yvonne, Wayne, Simon and others rushed over and pushed the door to Oliver’s office. They couldn’t help but be stunned.
Wayne and Simon rushed into the office and looked around. They thought there had been an assassin who had come in through the window.
This was because Wayne and Simon had been staying in the lobby, which was the only way to Oliver’s office. Anyone who wanted to enter Oliver’s office without passing through the lobby would have to break in through the window outside the building.
But the glass of the French window was intact. Turning back to look at Oliver, they found that he was standing in front of the broken desk, calm and composed.
Wayne hurriedly asked him, “Mr. Eastwood, what happened?”
“It’s okay.” Only then did Oliver realize their alarm. He picked up the book from the ground.

Fabian came in then. When he saw the miserable appearance of the desk, he couldn’t help but get angry. “Mr. Eastwood, is there something wrong with the quality of this desk? I’ll call them. Damn it! The mahogany table has broken in less than two months. I have to ask them for
compensation!”
Oliver hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Just buy another
one.”
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Oliver lowered his voice and said, “The quality of the desk is good. I broke it myself. Don’t bother anyone else. Fabian, buy a new set.”
Yvonne picked up the laptop on the ground and looked at it. The screen had broken, but it was still working.
“Mr. Eastwood, I’ll get you a new computer,” Yvonne took out the broken laptop.
With Oliver’s wealth, there was no need to repair the screen. He could just replace it with a new laptop.
After Fabian and Yvonne went out, Wayne and Simon squatted down to check the desk.
The more they looked at it, the more surprised they became. The desk was thicker and stronger than the average wooden desk. Even had the desk been smashed with a sledgehammer, it wouldn’t have been reduced to this state. How could Oliver break such a desk into pieces with his bare hands?
