The martial arts arena was filled with the sound of punches and kicks and the collision of bodies. Lou Cheng glanced at the seventh ring and couldn't help thinking about his opponent: Amateur Fourth Pin, Baiyuan Martial Arts School, good at Full Arm Boxing …
What are the characteristics of Full Arm Boxing?
How big is the gap between Senior Brother Li Mao of Amateur Fourth Pin and Amateur Third Pin?
Can I make some preparations in advance according to the characteristics of his boxing?
…
Lou Cheng couldn't bear to watch the match anymore. He walked to the nearest spectator seat, took out his phone, opened the web, and searched for information about Full Arm Boxing. He clenched his teeth and watched a video of a Full Arm Boxing fighter's fight, which gave him an intuitive impression of his enemy.
"Full Arm Boxing imitates the pouncing of apes and monkeys. His footwork is very flexible. In the video, he appeared behind his opponent in a flash. He can be described as a ghost. His punches are like whips and spears. He is good at one-inch punch and every move is crisp …" Lou Cheng outlined his upcoming opponent with his own understanding and thought about what fighting style to use. "I'm courting death if I compete with him in terms of flexibility and agility. But I'm bound to lose if I keep defending. I may not even be able to withstand one or two punches …"
"Uh, I have a general understanding of Full Arm Boxing, and I have a general understanding of him. What does he know about me? My profile says I'm a Songcheng University student, age, height, etc … "
"I've never participated in the Ranking Event and have no formal fighting experience. If I don't tell him, who knows what boxing style I'm practicing and what I'm good at? Hehe, this is a kind of advantage. Combined with Full Arm Boxing, can I show a flaw and set a trap for him? He'll definitely look down on me and take the bait easily … "
Lou Cheng held his phone and fell into deep thought. Gradually, he came up with an idea and decided on the direction of his attempt.
Once his heart was set, his aura calmed down. His earlier apprehension and disappointment quietly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by anticipation and eagerness.
Maybe it will work?
If I don't give it a try, why should I lower my head and admit defeat?
Standing up, Lou Cheng felt a sense of pride, as if he was ready to fight against the heavens and the earth. The haze from before was swept away. Even if he really lost, at least he wasn't afraid. At least he tried his best. This was the spirit and willpower that a real martial artist should have!
When Lou Cheng returned to Ring Seven, the third match had just ended. The two fighters in the fourth match were using the three-minute conversation time to curse each other, trying to provoke each other. Lou Cheng looked around and found several men and women in black martial arts suits on the left side of the ring. Some were wearing down jackets, some were playing with their phones, and one of them was very eye-catching. His arms were extraordinarily long.
Long Arm … It should be Liu Yinglong … Lou Cheng thought. Liu Yinglong also noticed him and said to the mustache man beside him, "Look, my opponent is here."
The mustached man looked over and chuckled. "You look like you've learned a lot. No wonder you want to come here for actual combat practice."
The other disciples of Baiyuan Martial Arts School laughed for a while and then dispersed to their own rings in case they missed the time. Only the mustached man and the girl who was playing with her phone were left behind.
The fourth match lasted for a long time. The two fighters who were cursing each other were evenly matched in strength. After more than ten minutes of stalemate, the winner and the loser were both out of breath.
Since there were at least 20 knockout matches in each ring in the morning, time was tight. The referee only took a sip of water and then announced the start of the fifth match. The two fighters entered the ring.
Thump! Thump! Lou Cheng couldn't help but feel nervous. In the words of the Internet, he was like a newbie trembling in fear.
This was his first official martial arts competition!
Even if there was hardly any audience, let alone cheering!
He took a deep breath and concealed his spirit and qi to get rid of most of his nervousness, leaving only a little for secretion of hormones to keep his body in the best state.
He took out his phone, wallet and other belongings, took off his thermal jacket and handed it to the match supervisor. After checking his number plate, Lou Cheng stepped into the white line and came to the left side of the referee, facing Liu Yinglong who had extraordinarily long arms.
"Three minutes of conversation time," the referee said concisely. The referee said concisely. He seized the three minutes to regulate his breathing and recover, so as to avoid exhausting his physical strength and slowing down his reaction in the later stages. He would be unable to prevent accidental injuries from happening. After ten matches, he would switch places with the supervisor who had been resting all this time.
Conversation time? After greeting each other, Lou Cheng's mind went blank. What should he say?
If it was Talker, he could make him unable to say anything …
Lou Cheng was not good at psychological games. Standing there like a fool, he fully demonstrated the characteristics of a newbie.
Liu Yinglong smiled and said,
"Don't be nervous. Just perform what you have been practicing."
Hearing this, the girl who was playing with her phone and the bearded man in a dark down jacket laughed out loud. Was Big Brother used to instructing his junior brothers and sisters?
Lou Cheng was also a little embarrassed, as if he was back in the martial arts special training, facing Senior Brother Li Mao's preaching.
"Thank you," he responded politely.
Facing a newbie, Liu Yinglong disdained to play verbal and psychological games. He quietly counted the time, regulated his breathing, and pushed his body to the best state.
Lou Cheng was half in meditation, coordinating every inch of his muscles, slowly getting them into the best state for exerting force.
Three minutes passed quickly. The referee pressed down with his right hand.
"Begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yinglong didn't show any modesty. He stepped forward and shook his right arm. His strength was channeled, and like a javelin, the tip of the spear went straight for Lou Cheng's chest. The crisp sound was like the sound of the wind.
Seeing that he was coming at him aggressively, Lou Cheng took a stance, blocking the punch with his left arm and right hand.
Bang! The two collided, making a dull sound. Lou Cheng only felt that his body was slightly pressed, which was a sign that his opponent's strength was slightly better.
But Lou Cheng was not surprised, instead, he was happy because it was only a slight advantage, which meant that there was not much difference between them.
This meant that after only three months of training, with the help of the Jindan, he had the strength of an Amateur Fourth Pin fighter!
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Yinglong suddenly disappeared in front of him. Like a monkey jumping, Liu Yinglong appeared behind him in a flash, which was impossible to guard against.
Liu Yinglong's left hand, which was hanging softly, suddenly tightened like a whistling soft whip, making a crisp sound. He drew a semicircle and whipped Lou Cheng's neck from top to bottom.
With his strength, the one-inch force of the Full Arm Boxing, and the posture of this move, if it hit Lou Cheng, at least the bones would be fractured. If it hit the neck, Lou Cheng might pass out on the spot and become a paraplegic. The referee was ready to stop it at any time.
Lou Cheng seemed to have expected this. Without turning his head, he took two big steps forward and avoided the Full Arm Boxing. But Liu Yinglong didn't seem disappointed. Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth and followed up with another attack. He wanted to force Lou Cheng to be unable to turn around and walk out of the ring step by step.
Seeing Lou Cheng take a step to the left in an attempt to dodge, Liu Yinglong followed him closely and threw out his right arm like a javelin.
Just as he was about to hit Lou Cheng, his eyes suddenly froze. He saw Lou Cheng straighten his back and straighten his spine, like a flood dragon rushing out of the shoal, forcibly shifting his center of gravity back.
Yin-Yang Stance!
Lou Cheng was best at Yin-Yang Stance!
With a turn of his feet, Lou Cheng came behind Liu Yinglong. Lowering his Dantian, he visualized the scene of a Brutal Blizzard in his mind. White snow, whistling wind, and freezing cold.
His heart was cold, and his strength was strong. He adjusted his muscles and was about to hit one of the first eight moves of 24 Blizzard Strikes. But at this moment, he changed his visualization in an instant. A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and hit the trees, igniting a prairie fire.
Lou Cheng felt numbness in his tailbone and a warm current gushed out. Under the double push, he felt his arms swell. He clenched his right hand into a fist and punched Liu Yinglong's neck fiercely like a whip or a knife with a whistling sound. It was exactly the same as before, except that the offense and defense had been switched.
Beside the ring, the girl playing with her mobile phone didn't notice the sudden change. The mustache man who had been watching the fight couldn't help but take a step forward and stare at the ring.
Liu Yinglong punched Lou Cheng and watched helplessly as Lou Cheng disappeared in front of him. Behind him came a whistling sound of wind. He had no time to dodge or take a step forward, so he could only tilt his body to avoid the vital part of his neck.
Bang!
Lou Cheng's punch hit Liu Yinglong's shoulder hard. Liu Yinglong's body sank involuntarily, and he felt a sharp pain in his brain. He seemed to hear the sound of bones cracking.
Clenching his teeth and enduring the pain, Liu Yinglong struck backward with his elbow in an attempt to turn the tables. However, Lou Cheng had been pushing the Brutal Blizzard Strike with a calm heart. He didn't let his guard down and dodged sideways. Naturally, he used the other move of 24 Blizzard Strikes. He lifted his right foot and kicked Liu Yinglong in the back of the knee before Liu Yinglong turned around.
Liu Yinglong couldn't stand up anymore and fell forward on his knees. Lou Cheng caught his left arm and held it behind his back. As for his right arm, his shoulder was injured and he couldn't exert any strength!
"Round five, Lou Cheng wins!" The referee announced the result loudly.
Hearing this, the girl playing with her mobile phone suddenly looked up, only to see her senior brother being caught by the student with no rank and kneeling on the ground with one knee.
What! Did I see it wrong?
What happened just now?
She was confused and turned to look at the mustache man beside her. The mustache man was in a trance, staring at Lou Cheng with fear. He saw coldness and madness in Lou Cheng's eyes.
Eldest Senior Brother had actually lost!
How could he lose?
He had the upper hand. How could he lose in the blink of an eye?
The other party is just a novice student with no rank … Am I dreaming?!
"Round five, Lou Cheng wins!"
When the referee's announcement came into Lou Cheng's ears, he felt like he was in a dream.
He actually defeated an Amateur Fourth Pin master …
Did he really win?
Everything seemed to be unreal until Liu Yinglong, who stood up because he let go of his hand, said with a strange expression,
"You're strong …"
I'm strong? Lou Cheng suddenly came back to reality.
He had really defeated an Amateur Fourth Pin master!
Everything was as he had planned in advance — to lure the careless Liu Yinglong to take the bait with the flexible footwork of Full Arm Boxing and expose his back to the opponent. Then he seized the opportunity to attack fiercely. When the moves were old and he lost the opportunity to be flexible, he would use the Yin-Yang Stance to give him a heavy blow. Then he would use the Brutal Blizzard to suppress him. If he didn't succeed in these three moves, he would most likely be the next one to lose!
According to his master. Except for Iron Cloth, Golden Bell Shield, or other martial arts methods, the fights between the Body Refining Realm and most of the Danqi Realm were all about flesh and blood. They couldn't withstand guns, nor could they withstand the full force of martial arts. Although the fights were often in a stalemate for a long time, the real winner was only one or two solid strikes. There was even a saying in the ancient martial arts books that one strike could decide life and death!
"Thank you." He smiled and cupped his hands.
Lou Cheng watched Liu Yinglong and the other two leave Arena Seven, looking back every few steps. Their faces were full of shock and fear. Lou Cheng also left Arena Seven, took back his belongings and jacket, and quietly and steadily blended into the crowd of contestants and spectators.
When he reached a secluded place, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised. He clenched his fist and waved his elbow, beaming with joy,
"I won!"
"I really won!"
He defeated an Amateur Fourth Pin master!
