Without saying anything, Lou Cheng lowered his center of gravity and stepped forward, pouncing on Wu Dong from both sides.
Lou Cheng had only been practicing martial arts for three weeks, so he had only mastered the basic movements and simple moves to the point where he could use them in actual combat. He hadn't had time to learn the more complicated moves. But humans were different from animals because they were good at observing and imitating.
In the face of Wu Dong, who was much stronger than him, he instinctively wanted to do better. In his mind, the footwork of Chen Changhua during the fight with Lin Que suddenly appeared. Chen Changhua moved forward, crisscrossed, and attacked like a terrifying poisonous snake.
Compared to Chen Changhua, Lou Cheng was obviously not as proficient and detailed in this footwork. But he had been practicing the Yin-Yang Stance for a long time, so his body coordination was quite good and his spirit was highly concentrated. Under the condition of half meditation, he could easily and subtly adjust his center of gravity. When he stepped to the left, his center of gravity was slightly to the right; when he stepped to the right, his center of gravity was slightly to the left. It was hard for Lou Cheng to distinguish his real target.
Even Wu Dong, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, felt that this was a thorny problem. In the past, when he was sparring with Chen Changhua, he was still able to see some clues when facing this "Snake Steps" and make a prediction. But now, when this kid, whose footwork was obviously not practiced enough, pounced on him, he was unable to give a definite answer. Just when he thought that his real target was indeed to the right, the next thought swayed to the left.
Is he really a rookie who has only been practicing martial arts for three weeks?
Is he a guy who pretends to be weak?
Hesitation was the most taboo in a fight. Wu Dong was experienced in actual combat and had participated in several amateur Ranking Events, so he naturally understood this principle and always followed it. But at this moment, there was not much he could do.
Under normal circumstances, if he couldn't judge whether the Snake Steps was real or not, he could still use his footwork and move around, which was his strength. But after chasing for such a long distance, his legs were sore and his breathing was not smooth, so he couldn't use his strength. If he continued to move around, it would be suicide.
Alas, I can only stay on the defensive!
Wu Dong took a stance and didn't react hastily.
In the face of this, Lou Cheng was a little happy in his heart because this was the situation he had envisioned when he first planned. He didn't expect it to actually come true!
At first, he didn't notice that Wu Dong was chasing after him. He just wanted to use his strongest long-distance running ability to wear down the two hooligans who were deliberately causing trouble, and take advantage of their weak state to strike back. When he noticed Wu Dong, he deliberately slowed down to lure them to run more, so that he could squeeze their strength as much as possible. But his master had said that Wu Dong's body was exhausted by smoking, drinking, and playing, so the function of his lungs must be severely reduced. When his strength reached the limit, it would be difficult for him to take a breath in a short time.
Under such circumstances, Wu Dong, who was known for his agility, dexterity, guerilla warfare, and sneak attacks, would not be able to display his strengths at all. He would be forced to defend his position, just like what was happening right now!
Shifting his center of gravity and taking a step forward, Lou Cheng suddenly flashed to Wu Dong's right side. Exerting strength from his feet, he channeled all his strength through his spine to his right hand. Then, as if he was holding an iron hammer, he clenched his fist and smashed down viciously at Wu Dong.
Whoosh!
The punch was so fierce that Wu Dong couldn't tell whether the Snake Steps was real or not, so his reaction was a bit late. But he firmly defended his position and fought inside with both hands, so the distance he covered was significantly shorter than Lou Cheng. He was able to block Lou Cheng's right fist in time.
When the two collided, Lou Cheng didn't feel that Wu Dong had the upper hand in strength. He suddenly realized that Wu Dong was indeed still gasping for breath and couldn't exert all his strength. Even though he was a master of Amateur Second Pin, he was still at a disadvantage.
Lou Cheng took a step forward with his right foot and blocked in front of Wu Dong's legs to prevent him from exerting his footwork. His left hand used the force of his right fist to block Wu Dong's right hand, and punched directly at Wu Dong's abdomen with abrupt force.
Wu Dong couldn't dodge, so he had to take the blow head-on. With a bang, their bodies met. Lou Cheng exerted strength in his feet, slightly leaned to one side, and lowered his elbow to hit Wu Dong again.
He had to take advantage of Wu Dong's current condition and force him to fight in close quarters, which was his weakness and his current fatal problem. If he couldn't catch his breath, the result would be clear.
If he fought on the move, he would give Wu Dong a chance to catch his breath.
Bang, bang, bang. They exchanged several blows. Wu Dong had been practicing martial arts for many years and was very experienced, so he didn't show any flaws.
Lou Cheng blocked Wu Dong's attack again with both hands, but he was keenly aware that Wu Dong's body was swaying slightly.
This was like a rock that had finally loosened under a violent storm!
Wu Dong couldn't catch up with his strength.
Lou Cheng lowered his waist and adjusted his body's fine details. He quickly adjusted his center of gravity and threw out another punch.
Bang!
Wu Dong's stance was broken by the punch and he staggered back. But he was smart enough to not give Lou Cheng a chance to pounce on him again. He rolled to the side to avoid the punch.
Seeing Wu Dong rolling on the ground, Lou Cheng felt a little happy. He had forced Wu Dong, an Amateur Second Pin, to this point. Victory was at hand.
He closed the distance with a sliding step, and was about to give Wu Dong a whip kick like Lin Que did.
At this moment, Wu Dong narrowed his eyes and grabbed a handful of dirt behind him with his left hand. He threw it at Lou Cheng.
Lou Cheng didn't expect this at all. Seeing the dirt flying at him, he closed his eyes subconsciously, put his left hand in front of his face, and tried to move sideways.
But he was in a hurry. Some dirt got into his eyes, making them sore and painful. He couldn't open them for a while. His mind was in a mess, and he was at his wit's end.
Bang!
Lou Cheng felt a pain in his back as he was punched. He lost his balance and fell forward.
The familiar situation and experience made him calm down instinctively. He adjusted his body and tried to change his center of gravity.
When one calmed down, one's mind would be clear. Lou Cheng recovered from the fall and realized that he was at a disadvantage because of his lack of combat experience. Now he had to stay calm and not let Wu Dong take advantage of the situation to attack him.
The Jindan rotated slowly, the nebula contracted and expanded, and the muscles in his body adjusted harmoniously. Lou Cheng staggered a few steps and regained his balance.
At the same time, he changed his direction with every step, narrowly avoiding the attack behind him.
Lou Cheng found that he still couldn't open his eyes. He couldn't stop his tears, as if he had been beaten. He was surrounded by darkness and didn't know where Wu Dong would come from. What was more frightening was that he didn't dare to make a big scene. He didn't attack the vital parts of the short-haired young man and the tattooed young man. It wouldn't take long for them to recover their basic combat strength.
Calm down.
Calm down!
Lou Cheng made a decision. He visualized the Form of Condensing Water to Ice in his mind. He felt that all kinds of distracting thoughts were frozen and his senses became very sharp.
Condensing Water Stance of the Ice Sect!
Everything seemed to be quiet. Contrary to the Yin-Yang Stance, the Condensing Water Stance focused on the outside. He could hear the sound of wind and footsteps, and the air was filled with a faint smell of alcohol.
Lou Cheng vaguely sensed that someone was coming from his left through his ears, body, and other senses.
He remained calm and raised his hands slightly, as if he was making a defensive move and waiting for his eyes to recover.
Lou Cheng suddenly changed his visualization when the heavy breathing entered his ears. He visualized a scene in his mind where a silver-white lightning struck a tree and ignited a flame in an instant.
Lightning and Fire Stance of the Thunder Sect!
As soon as the lightning and fire appeared, Lou Cheng's muscles wriggled naturally. He felt his tailbone go numb and his body sink as if he was struck by lightning. Then a hot current surged out from his spine and closed all the pores all over his body. It was like a prairie fire that completed a terrible outbreak in an instant. It burned through his waist and back to his left leg!
His left leg looked normal, but it suddenly tightened and kicked sideways without warning.
Bang!
Lou Cheng felt that he had kicked something solid and vaguely felt bone under his foot. Then he heard a cry of pain and the sound of someone falling to the ground.
It's done … He kept calm and didn't put down his defensive posture. He just rubbed his eyes and with the help of his tears, the dust finally flowed out and restored his vision.
From blurred to clear, Lou Cheng saw Wu Dong rolling in pain on his left side as if he had kicked him in the thigh. The brush-cut young man and the tattooed young man had just recovered but were still unable to stand up.
Phew … A real battle is really different from a pair practice … Lou Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief and felt a pain in his back.
If it weren't for his Yin-Yang Stance that had reached the realm of inward vision with the help of the Jindan, the Condensation Stance that had improved his senses and attention, and the Lightning and Fire Stance that had a terrible outbreak in an instant, he would have been beaten by the experienced Wu Dong!
The Yin-Yang Stance, the Lightning and Fire Stance, and the Condensation Stance seemed to be easy to master. However, as the basic stances of the Thunder Sect and the Ice Sect, they had their own difficulties. That was, how to meditate, how to visualize, and what to visualize. Without any explanation or guidance, even if one was given a complete introduction, only one out of a thousand people would be able to successfully master the stances according to the description.
Among them, the Yin-Yang Stance was the foundation. It didn't limit what to visualize, but taught how to enter meditation, how to visualize, how to hold the Spirit, and how to guard one. Even so, after Geezer Shi had taught him on the first day, he had spent three weeks guiding and correcting his mistakes. However, until now, it seemed that only he and Yan Zheke had mastered the Yin-Yang Stance. Even Guo Qing, Li Mao, and Sun Jian couldn't do it. As for Lin Que, it seemed that he had practiced it before.
After today's thrilling and fierce battle, his stance and fighting style had finally crossed the threshold and started to integrate into one. However, he still couldn't judge the specific level of his strength.
After relaxing, Lou Cheng suddenly felt scared. Just now, he had been reckless and wanted to try a real battle. When his qi and blood had calmed down, he was worried about how to clean up the mess. Fighting was punishable by punishment. If he didn't know how to control his strength, he would have no choice but to cry behind bars!
Fortunately, Zhang Xuan had controlled his strength and didn't aim for Wu Dong's vitals. Only when he kicked Wu Dong was he unable to control it because he couldn't see. However, seeing Wu Dong stop rolling and rubbing his leg, Zhang Xuan didn't think it was a big deal.
"It's true that heroes break the rules with their martial arts …" Lou Cheng suppressed his worries and kept calm. He thought for a while and smiled at Wu Dong.
"Senior Brother Wu, you're about to graduate from your senior year, right?"
Wu Dong covered his leg and looked up at Lou Cheng in surprise. He felt that the freshman in front of him was very calm and had pointed out his weakness with one sentence. He didn't see any trace of worry at all. Then he thought of Lou Cheng's sneaky kick and his calmness when he couldn't open his eyes. He suddenly felt like he didn't know him at all.
Under his gaze, he couldn't help but look away.
