"Today I went to the Fist Temple again, and listened to Lei Lie's explanation of 'The Way of the Iron Fist'.
"It's so strange, the truth that I used to take for granted, but today it comes out of his mouth, but it doesn't make sense, the more I think about it, the more I don't understand it.
"That's right, whether it's a sword or a machine, it will erode people's will, making people unable to concentrate on cultivation, breaking through the limits of flesh and blood, and reaching the ultimate state of shattering the void.
"However, how many warriors with determination like iron and outstanding talent can blow up the three barriers of 'earth, deep sea and sky' with one punch, and achieve the ultimate state of shattering the void
"Let's just talk about me. I have worked so hard to practice the 'Fist of the Deep Sea', but I feel that my limit is only here. Even if I give me decades of time and more resources, I will only be caught in the deep sea. The terrifying pressure of a thousand mammoths squeezed to death.
"I am already the number one talented boxer within a radius of 500 miles of Chijin Town, facing the unreachable 'Shattered Void', I still can only sigh.
"For the vast majority of ordinary boxers, even those ordinary people who are not talented, physically disabled, and unable to cultivate, why can't they use the 'power of machinery and steam' to hunt ferocious beasts, defend their homes, and make themselves life better
"A true boxer, with a will as strong as iron, will never be tempted by 'the power of machinery and steam'.
"On the other hand, if you are tempted, you are not a real boxer, and you will not achieve much if you practice it—since these people are not the faithful believers that the boxing god needs, let them study machinery and steam. What does it matter?"

"Today, Gus came back with a bruised nose and a bruised face.
"It looks like he was bullied again in Iron Fist School.
"I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart, but I don't know how to comfort it.
"The strong is king, and the outcome is determined by fists. It was originally the Iron Fist School, no, it is the law that has been running in this world for tens of thousands of years.
"A person like Gus who is not talented and not good at martial arts is destined to fall to the bottom of this world and be bullied and ridiculed all his life. If I can help him for a while, can I help him forever
"Watching Gus lose his mind broke my heart.
"A few days ago, I thought about burning this experiment log, cutting off contact with those evil disciples, forgetting about all this damn thing, and returning to the right path of 'The Way of the Iron Fist'.
"But now, seeing Gus, bruised and swollen, angry and confused, still kneeling in the practice room and praying for the blessing of the boxing god, I suddenly feel extremely angry.
"How unfair the Fist God is!
"My son, Gus, is so devout to you, his cultivation is harder and more crazy than any other student in Tekken School!
"Why, can't you generously give him a little bit of strength so that he can straighten up and behave like a man
"If this continues, Gus' life will be ruined.
"I can forget everything and always believe in the iron fist, but not Gus, I will never allow him to become a piece of crap and a joke.
"I have exhausted all the methods, and I have taught Gus everything I have learned all my life, but his problem is congenital, that is, there are some poor people who are born with cut off meridians, weak in body, weak in limbs, and unable to cultivate superior Boxing.
"Since I can't change Gus, maybe I can change the whole world
"If this world is no longer ruled by the God of Fist, but is dominated by the power of 'machinery and steam', maybe Gus can live better in the brand new world
"That's right, Gus has been ingenious since he was a child, he must like and be good at 'the power of machinery and steam'!"
Seeing this, Gus burst into tears.
He bit his lip tightly, trying not to cry out.
It turned out to be like this.
It turned out that his father fell into the devil's way in order to let him gain more powerful power.
To be honest, Gus had already forgotten what kind of humiliation and grievance he had suffered on September 30 of that year.
— After all, bullying and ridicule by others is commonplace for him, and he has long been used to it.
But this kind of thing, as the father of the person being ridiculed, will never get used to it.
Gus wiped away his tears silently and continued to read.
"Tekken Calendar 10235, November 20th.
"Steam Army! Steam Army!
"It's really earth-shattering news. It is said that the steam army has raised the flag of righteousness in the south and officially declared war on the Fist Temple. The first batch of expeditionary troops sent by the Fist Temple were beaten to pieces by the steam army!
"In the face of the power of machinery and steam, in the face of the turbulent waves formed by the blazing steel bullets, even the power of the fist god, you have to back away!
"It's ridiculous. In the self-proclaimed Northland, people are still deceived by the lies of the Fist Temple. The whole world is like a dead corpse. The insects that live in the corpse have not yet smelled the smell of corruption.
"I really want to go to the south to see the majesty of the Steam Army!
"However, what about Li'er, Grey, and Gus? Especially Li'er, she always listens to her elder brother Lei Lie the most. How should I explain to her the reality of this world?"
"Lil" is Gus and Gray's mother.
At the time of writing this blog, Mom and Dad are not dead, they are still a happy family.
Recalling the warmth and tranquility of the past, Gus couldn't help but smile.
But this smile was quickly extinguished by the cold wind and rain pouring in from outside. Gus took a bite on the back of his hand and used the tingling pain to make himself concentrate on watching.
The next few logs are the parameters and results of various experiments, as well as some methods of using mechanical and steam weapons.
Gus also saw the contact methods and codes of some secret altars of the "Machine and Steam God" scattered in the north. Through them, he might be able to find the steam army in the south—this information should be what his sister wanted him to remember carefully.
Gus also wanted to find clues about the cause of his father's death from the experiment log.
However, when I turned to the last page, it was still a normal experiment, complaining and questioning, as if my father died very suddenly.
Closing the diary, Gus looked at his sleeping sister, and at the demon "Lu Qingchen" who was looking around.
"Tell me the truth of this world." Gus asked the devil very seriously.
"I said, you won't like the truth." The devil responded with a smile.
"I have grown up and have the ability to accept the truth that I don't like." Gus replied, the cowardly teenager really seemed to grow up ten years old overnight.
"So, what would you give in exchange for the truth?" asked the demon.
"What do you want?" Gus asked back.
"Let's see... Usually, demons ask for human souls at times like this, right?"
Lu Qingchen smiled and said, "Brother Gus, are you willing to exchange your soul for the truth?"
