Sure enough, boxing, Muay Thai, karate, and judo all appeared in the following battle, and they didn't stick to any one of them.
Luke and Nikki's battlefield expanded from the central area to the entire gym.
The two of them were like agile monkeys, and all kinds of fitness equipment became their offensive and defensive props. They jumped and moved, not letting go of any opportunity to attack each other, which made the competition even closer to a real fight.
Both Mindy and Monica couldn't take their eyes off him. They didn't expect that the girl's cousin (bestie) would be so strong.
And then … there was no then.
After Luke suddenly closed in and used his body to take two of Nikki's punches, he locked her right arm in place with a cross.
Nikki struggled for five seconds, before she simply patted the ground to show that she had conceded.
When Luke got up, he pulled her up with a smile. She rubbed her right arm and said in disbelief, "You can actually suppress me?"
Amused, Luke raised his arms to show off his biceps, which weren't too exaggerated, but were definitely very strong. "Girl, I've also trained before. Your strength is indeed enough to crush ordinary boys, but it's not enough to lift 200 pounds with one hand, so you don't have any chance. "
Nikki thought for a moment and shook her head with a bitter smile. "I've always thought that my fists were strong enough. My main attacks are standing skills. It seems that I need to practice my ground skills too."
Luke nodded. "You don't have to force yourself if you don't like it. It's fine as long as you do some resistance training for ground skills. Very few people are proficient in all kinds of combat skills. Just choose a path that suits you and play to your strengths. "
As they talked, they walked to the side. Mindy and Monica heard it very clearly, and agreed with Luke.
A person's energy was limited, and talent wasn't omnipotent.
Instead of knowing everything but being good at nothing, it was more practical to train for talent.
After Nikki sat down, Luke looked at Monica with a smile. "Let's go play too?"
Monica smiled bitterly. "I'm no match for you."
Luke chuckled. "I won't use my strength to bully you. How about that?"
Monica's eyes lit up. "Are you serious?"
When Nikki fought her, it was basically a combination of overwhelming strength and skillful technique that allowed her to win in one fell swoop.
The strength that Luke had displayed just now wasn't any weaker than Nikki's, and he was even more skilled than Nikki.
Monica knew very well that she would only lose faster and more thoroughly if she met this enhanced male version of Nikki.
But if he didn't use his strength to gain an advantage, and mainly used his skills, she didn't think she would lose.
Luke raised his hand to indicate that they could start in the center of the clearing.
Monica smiled and said, "The way you and Nikki fought at the end was more interesting and more like actual combat. Shall we do the same?"
Luke nodded. "Okay, come on."
As soon as he said, "Sure," Monica swept her foot towards his ankle.
Luke, however, punched her in the face.
Monica didn't panic. She leaned back even more, dodging the circle, but her sweeping leg didn't stop.
Luke stepped forward and punched again. The leg that had been swept was behind him, and Monica's leg was no longer a threat.
The corners of Monica's mouth curled up. She suddenly landed on the ground and kicked hard, flipping backward as she kicked her other leg up at Luke's abdomen.
Smiling happily, Luke blocked the attack with his fist.
Monica, however, abruptly pulled back her leg to avoid his arm. She flipped two meters back before she stood up again.
Luke wasn't in a hurry to chase after her. Instead, he stood where he was and said with a smile, "You went easy on me, didn't you? That was a kick to the groin just now, wasn't it?"
Monica smiled. "We were just sparring in private, not in a tournament. If I hurt you, someone will feel sorry." As she spoke, she glanced at Nikki.
Nikki's face, which had just exercised, turned even redder.
Mindy, on the other hand, rolled her eyes.
Thankfully, Luke and Monica stopped joking after that, and the match officially began.
In just ten seconds, Nikki and the other two onlookers realized that the two of them were evenly matched.
Unlike Nikki, who liked to use strength to suppress her opponent, Monica's advantage was in agility and technique.
Luke didn't want to knock her into the wall with a shoulder, so he could only use technique to deal with her. It looked like a fight in a kung fu movie.
But Mindy and Nikki both knew that this wasn't a movie.
They were sitting less than two meters away. Both of them were experts in combat, and had clearly seen the fight between the two of them in the blink of an eye. They became even more focused.
In every sense, Monica's match was far more exciting than Nikki's.
That was because after Luke gave up his advantage in strength, pure combat techniques were more attractive to those who knew what was going on.
After all, it wasn't a life-and-death fight. It was best if this kind of sparring could inspire the participants and the onlookers, which was a form of enjoyment.
It was the same for Luke.
He was even more excited now than when he discovered that Nikki was a superhuman.
Ever since he got the Super Learning Module, he had nothing else to pursue in combat techniques.
He could easily kill one expert after another with a gun.
The more combat experts he killed, the more combat abilities he would obtain.
After he fully grasped one person's skills, he would switch to another person's skills, constantly improving his combat skills.
Even if he wasn't fully focused, he never stopped improving. A new ability had appeared in his list of abilities: Elementary Combat Proficiency.
It didn't cost him any points, and it didn't come from the powerful opponent he had killed.
Just like that, Luke accumulated, optimized, and completed the basic combat skills of hundreds of people.
In fact, so far, Luke hadn't met any expert with Elementary Combat Proficiency.
But today, he actually found a miraculous person: Monica.
Monica's combat skills were far better than he had expected, but Luke knew that she was only at the peak of basic combat at best.
After all, Daddy System was very picky. The so-called Basic Combat actually included everyone from Earth, from professional fighters to top-notch Grandmasters of Combat.
In terms of points, people with abilities between 60 to 99 points were actually the basis of the system's judgment.
In practice, people with 99 points could instantly crush people with 60 points. However, these people were still at the basic level in the system, or in other words, they were just beginners.
Luke's Elementary Combat Proficiency, on the other hand, could be considered a stage after 100 + points.
Having mastered all kinds of basic combat skills, it was only a matter of minutes for him to kill a top fighter with 99 points.
There was a complete generational difference between elementary and basic, and the difference in strength was as huge as between a fifth-generation fighter and a fourth-generation fighter.
