Both Li Mao and Zhang Ying summoned their courage without any hesitation. They both stomped on the ground, twisted their waist and swung their arms, and threw out the same blast punch.
Bang!
When the two fists collided, it was as if they were frozen in mid-air. Immediately after, Li Mao's body swayed backward, while Zhang Ying took half a step back. Only then did she manage to stabilize her body.
Both of them were of Amateur Second Pin. As a woman, she was at a disadvantage in terms of strength after a fierce fight.
Li Mao's mind was still a little tight, so he didn't have time to think. Following his fighting instinct, he swayed his waist, bulged his legs, and kicked out his left leg like a soft whip.
Bam! His left leg straightened quickly, exploding the air.
Zhang Ying didn't have time to dodge. She gritted her teeth, tightened her feet, and kicked back.
Bang! The two legs hit each other, swayed, and took a step back. Li Mao's mind was full of the idea of attacking first. Without any adjustment, he pounced forward again, bulged his muscles, swung his right arm, and hammered like a war drum.
"Again …" Zhang Ying's eyes narrowed, and she regretted her previous decision. But now she had no better choice but to fight hard.
She stomped on the ground with her right foot, pulled back her arm, clenched her fist, and shook the wind like a cannonball.
Bang! Another muffled sound. Zhang Ying couldn't withstand her opponent's strength. Her right arm was swung away, and her upper body fell back, losing her center of gravity. Li Mao, on the other hand, only swayed and was about to attack again.
In a flash, Zhang Ying suddenly thought of the competition video she studied a few days ago, and a picture flashed in her mind.
She could try this! Anyway, it couldn't be worse! She clenched her teeth and gave up trying to stabilize her center of gravity and force in a hurry. She leaned forward and bent her waist, but her right leg suddenly bounced up, turned into a straight whip, and unexpectedly whipped Li Mao.
Iron Bridge, Dragon Turning Over!
This was a move Zhang Ying learned from watching Lou Cheng's fighting video.
Before reaching the high-ranked Dan stage, there wouldn't be any complicated feints or changes in the moves. This was because the speed and control ability of low-ranked martial artists couldn't accomplish these at all. It would only make the moves look fancy and impractical, and it would only be for show.
Therefore, the core of the martial arts in these few stages was visualization, force exertion techniques, and routines to train different muscles. It was something that couldn't be learned from watching videos or watching fights. Of course, some moves and techniques couldn't be hidden from others. After watching a few replays, one would be able to figure it out. For example, the trick to take a step back when colliding with the opponent and Lou Cheng's Iron Bridge Dragon Flip.
In terms of movement, this move was simple and clear. The difficult part was whether one had the ability to control their own center of gravity. Being able to understand it did not mean that one could learn it!
Of course, Zhang Ying wasn't as good as Lou Cheng in this aspect, but she didn't expect to be able to stabilize her center of gravity and borrow the force to rise again. She was purely relying on the advantage of a girl's flexibility to seek chaos in defeat and obstruct the enemy.
Li Mao did not expect that the enemy would respond in this way. His left hand lashed out like a whip, taking advantage of the situation to launch an attack. However, he saw the black martial arts shoes coming straight at his chin. The air was torn apart, and the wind was whistling.
Li Mao couldn't take back his stance and his right fist couldn't catch up to block. Li Mao's heart tightened. He didn't have time to think. He shrunk his head, curled his body, and lay down to the side. Lazy Donkey Roll!
Zhang Ying's kick missed and she lost her balance. She fell to the ground and rolled twice.
At the same time, both of them jumped up like a carp and stood up again.
Only then did the students recover from their initial exclamations. They applauded and cheered for the courage and determination displayed by the two in the previous collision.
After this, Li Mao was frightened and scared. His nervousness completely disappeared and he entered the competition state. He calmed down and faced Zhang Ying's attack calmly.
Zhang Ying also didn't have the intention to attack first. She used her footwork and walked around the opponent to take the initiative to attack and let the competition return to the rhythm she was familiar with.
Just as she came to the side, she clenched her fist and chopped with great momentum. Li Mao didn't want to win, but he didn't want to make any mistakes. He raised his right arm to block first and then swung it out to avoid the next move …
Going to the back, Zhang Ying twitched her thigh and kicked the enemy's knee with the tip of her foot. Li Mao twisted his waist and turned around, sweeping his leg …
Similar scenes kept happening. The sound of the collision and the crisp sound of the air exploding echoed from time to time. One of them attacked beautifully, the other defended stably. It was difficult to determine the winner in a short time.
During this process, Li Mao didn't only know how to defend. He himself was not a heavy and inflexible style. Once he seized the opportunity, he would take a few steps forward and counterattack to relieve the pressure of the passive defense.
As time passed, he suddenly heard Zhang Ying's breathing become heavier and her flexible footwork seemed to be a little slower.
Did her physical strength drop to the level of qualitative change? Li Mao's heart moved, but he didn't immediately counterattack because he was too anxious in the last round. As soon as he noticed that Feng Shaokun was close to his limit, he attacked fiercely. As a result, he was almost defeated by the opponent's "Tiger and Crane Attack".
The lesson was not far away. Li Mao calmed down and slowly changed the situation of attack and defense.
After forcing Zhang Ying back with one move, he took a step forward, swung his right arm, and waved it down like holding a steel whip. Crack!
Zhang Ying's footwork was not messed up. Her right arm crossed in front of her chest and hammered in the opposite direction to block the whip.
However, when the two of them collided, Li Mao could clearly feel her weakness. Hence, he did not show her any mercy. He swung his arms, making them look like two steel whips. As his body leaned forward, he alternated between swinging them down crazily. The slapping sounds were endless!
Zhang Ying gritted her teeth, held her breath, and blocked a few times. Finally, she couldn't resist and was pulled away from her stance. She was about to be hit in the body.
At this time, the referee next to him stretched out his hand and put it on Li Mao's shoulder. With a shake and a press, he dispersed his strength.
"The third round, Li Mao wins!"
With the referee's announcement, the audience in the stands responded with warm applause. They cheered for Li Mao, and also showed respect to a girl who could fight to this extent.
At the same time, some students whispered to each other, discussing whether Li Mao's last few moves were the legendary Tortoise Fist.
But Li Mao didn't care about this. Even if his posture was ugly, it was good enough to win the game!
This is the second victory I've won on behalf of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club! He gasped and thought in ecstasy. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind,
"Martial arts is so interesting!"
Zhang Ying heaved a sigh of relief and looked a little disappointed. She still wanted to defeat Li Mao so that her Senior Brother could face Lou Cheng in his most complete state. As for exhausting Lou Cheng, she had already given up the idea after witnessing Lou Cheng's abnormal stamina in three consecutive battles.
Forget it. With Senior Brother's strength, defeating Li Mao is just a piece of cake. It won't affect his duel with Lou Cheng.
With a change of mind, she walked down the ring in a good mood and went to meet her Eldest Senior Brother.
"You fought very well." Peng Chengguang was not stingy with his praise.
Hearing this, Zhang Ying was first overjoyed, then inexplicably touched. Her eyes reddened, and she almost shed tears. The words she had prepared turned into three words in a low voice, "Eldest Senior Brother …"
Senior Brother, I'm so happy to be able to help you …
Peng Chengguang smiled and said confidently without showing off,
"Go back. Leave the rest to me."
After giving each other a high five, he walked along the road, stepped on the stone steps, and stepped into the arena.
Looking at the famous Ninth Pin master, Li Mao suddenly felt a little nervous, not because of nervousness, but because it was the first time he faced a professional fighter.
Don't panic. I just want to exhaust him a few moves. What's there to be afraid of?
Li Mao calmed down and stared at Peng Chengguang in his posture.
This Ninth Pin master is much more mature than his actual age …
The audience cheered for Li Mao again. At the same time, they didn't expect Li Mao to be invincible after a fierce battle. They only thought that with the gap of two Pins, he should be able to exhaust some of Lou Cheng's strength and create an advantage for Lou Cheng.
"Li Mao! Li Mao! "As the shouts echoed, the referee waved his right hand,
"The fourth round, start!"
Li Mao didn't dare to fight with a Professional Ninth Pin master. He moved forward with the Snake Steps and slid to the side of Peng Chengguang. He clenched his fist and hit his opponent with Chopping Force.
Peng Chengguang stood steadily and didn't rush to attack. At this time, his right foot suddenly stepped toward Li Mao from the side. He raised his right arm and blocked Li Mao's Chopping Force easily.
Because of this clever step, his body was in front of his opponent!
At this time, all the muscles on Peng Chengguang's back seemed to be connected, shaking like a big snake. He raised his right arm and followed it up with an elbow strike!
Bang! Li Mao hurriedly used his left palm to block, but immediately felt a majestic force coming towards him. Peng Chengguang had forcefully slammed his palm into his chest.
He felt stuffy and lost his center of gravity, falling backward!
Peng Chengguang took advantage of the momentum from the elbow strike and quickly shot out his forearm to grab Li Mao's collar like a gust of wind. Using his skillful strength, he helped Li Mao regain his balance. Then, he elegantly retracted his hand and looked at Li Mao with a smile.
If he didn't grab my collar but pinched my throat, I would be dead … Li Mao stood there in a daze. The referee announced the result,
"The fourth round, Peng Chengguang wins!"
The shouts and cheers echoing in the martial arts arena stopped abruptly, leaving only a few echoes. The audience didn't expect Li Mao to lose so quickly and so easily!
He looked like he couldn't fight back at all!
Isn't this Professional Ninth Pin too strong?
Lou Cheng suddenly stood up and looked at the ring. His blood was boiling and his fighting spirit was surging.
This is the kind of opponent I look forward to!
If you only know how to bully the weak, then what's the point of learning martial arts?
Peng Chengguang also turned around and looked at Lou Cheng. He put on a posture and made an inviting gesture!
When the four eyes met, sparks and electric currents seemed to be ignited in the air.
The four fighters of the Azure Dragon Squad suddenly held their breath as if they felt the turbulent waves between Lou Cheng and Peng Chengguang. Lin Que took a deep breath and showed a rare look of regret. He only regretted that his injury hadn't healed yet!
