🥋 The Way of the Wasped Fist

In the land of Siberia, there lived a youth named Yasha, who was the subject of many experiments conducted by the scheming Siberian government. They sought to create an unbreakable boy, capable of wreaking havoc upon their enemies near and far. And, after much work, they did succeed – indeed! Yasha's body became as strong and supple as metal, his waist so thin that it seemed like the handle of the living weapon he had become.

The government's experiments transformed Yasha into a true living weapon, and he found himself under the guidance of Master Yanfeng, a wise and skilled warrior from China, who had taken it upon himself to teach Yasha the ways of the martial arts. It was during one of their sparring sessions that Master Yanfeng couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of Yasha's physique.

"You know, Yasha," he said, grabbing the boy's waist as though it were a handle, lifting him up effortlessly. "I can lift you up like a wooden stick!"

Yasha tried to punch and kick, but nothing seemed to work against the iron grip of the Master. The Chinese monk possessed supernatural strength and there were rumors that he lived for over 600 years, even if he didn't appear physically older than Yasha.

"You know that I have never had a sword as effective as you – one that not only kicks ass but can punch too," Master Yanfeng laughed, finally putting his student down on two feet.

Yasha smirked, adjusting his uniform. "It's just the red belt, gramps. Wait until I'm qualitified for the black belt! I bet you'll lift me up with just two fingers! LOL!"

Master Yanfeng shook his head, still chuckling. He knew that once Yasha earned his black belt, his strength would increase beyond the capacity of this world.

Yanfeng knew too well what that it looked like, having experienced it himself – the zero waist effect, a feat that this world's scientists still couldn't wrap their heads around, dismissing it as "human existence in two completely separated halves is physically impossible."

Yes, in this universe, the laws of physics were commonly thought to be unbreakable but life hackers weren't sleeping. As a victim of this shady business that tried to break the laws of this world, Yanfeng spent 100 years to get his body back in good shape again.

Yasha wasn't so lucky to possess the ancient monk knowledge yet, so Mister Yanfeng wasn't sure if he could save Yasha from the zero waist effect at this rate.

These Siberians, he thought, don't seem to know that if they keep shrinking the boy's waist this fast, one day it might just collapse, splitting his body into two separate halves that would, however, feel to Yasha as if his body was still whole! But the forces of gravity are fundamental laws that are very hard to break, so Yasha would have to find some way to hold up – for Yanfeng, it was his ability to levitate, letting him suspend his upper half in the air, and even act normally on most days. But Yasha didn't have any kind of monk training...

"What are you thinking about, gramps?" Yasha peeked from a tight ruppelbend. "You look deep in thought."

Master Yanfeng smiled. "Oh, nothing too important," he lied, knowing that the future of the world depended on his guidance and Yasha's strength. "Let us continue our lesson."
