This was the central load-bearing structure for the entire floor, thirty centimeters of reinforced concrete embedded with thumb-thick rebar.
Xiqu's cold, hard edge struck the wall first, and the immense, plunging force of imaginary mass erupted along his fist.
The entire load-bearing wall caved inward from the center and cracked apart. Thick rebar was smashed until it bent and curled outward, and rubble crashed down with broken bricks.
The blow opened a hole several meters wide, connecting three neighboring classrooms.
With the main support broken by a single punch, the entire classroom building gave a slight shudder.
The old building had long fallen into disrepair, its form barely maintained by the domain's distorting power.
Once its central support broke, its structural foundation was damaged. Only the domain's spatial restraints kept it from collapsing.
Before the force had dissipated, Qingxiao stamped hard against the ground, sprang into the air, and swung a backhand punch into the ceiling overhead.
Boom-!
The concrete slab overhead collapsed with the impact, sending rubble and dust billowing everywhere. A huge gap was smashed straight through the third-floor floor, and the fourth-floor tiles cracked and sank as well.
He punched again and again, every blow carrying Xiqu's immense, plunging force, smashing through partition walls, breaking secondary beams, and stamping through floor slabs.
In barely a dozen seconds, he had battered through multiple floors from the second to the fourth, creating a hollow arena more than ten meters high that ran straight up through them.
The entire building shook more and more noticeably. Beams creaked under the strain from time to time; it was already barely holding together.
"Much better."
Qingxiao landed on an exposed beam and dusted off his hands, the brass knuckles on his right hand gleaming coldly.
Beneath him lay the broken edges of collapsed
