"That’s huge! No way. I can't break that. It scares me just by looking at it!"
Selena looked at the rock in her palm and spoke in a panicked tone. She felt that she was already unable to break a rock the size of a fist—what more one of a basketball size.
"You won't know if you don’t try."
Yet Ben rolled his eyes at her. "I thought that I couldn't break it either. But I did," he said. "Give it a try, Sis. Don't you realize that the rock isn't as heavy as you thought i t was while you're carrying it? That's because your strength is no longer an ordinary person's strength. You have the body of a martial artist now!"
Here, Ben paused for a while before
continuing, "Sis, do you know that a person who is truly strong is the one who doesn’t flinch before a tiger, and even thinks of a tiger as an ant!"
When Elaine heard this, she could not help but chortle. "I just told you all that a while ago. You sure pick up fast!"
"Heh!"
Ben rubbed the back of his neck. "I've always been a believer of life-long learning."
"Give it a try, Dear. You're his sister—you have the same mother. If he can do it, you can’t lose to him as his older sister!
Besides, your body is strong now. It won't b e too much even if you punch the rock.
You're different from before, alright?"
Fane spoke from the side, grinning.
"All right. I'll give it a shot!" Selena cradled the rock in one arm and clenched her other hand into a fist, smashing it straight into the rock.
