What the hell! Talent Brother really doesn't play by the rules!
Xie Yucheng, outside the ring, twitched his lips. He hadn't even finished saying "Start" before Qin Shi, with his stance ready, shot out like an arrow.
This is just two hours of training results? That's too fierce!
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched, his pupils contracted, and his relaxed muscles instantly tensed!
Fortunately, he reacted in time, quickly sidestepping to avoid the blow.
This jab was so unexpected, it was impossible to tell he was a novice with zero foundation.
At least in terms of body technique, Qin Shi's nimble and swift footwork alternation was highly skilled.
Otherwise, he couldn't have burst forth so fiercely in an instant and closed the distance so quickly!
Almost messed up big time, nearly made a fool of myself in front of Xie Yucheng!
Li Yuan was annoyed as he dodged this jab.
Without thinking, he grabbed Qin Shi's wrist.
His thick fingers tightly locked, the grip infused with strong power, like an iron hoop clamping down!
His movements were incredibly fast, seemingly without any conscious thought.
This was the attack-defense awareness gradually developed from days of real combat sparring!
Instinctively attacking or defending, without any hesitation!
In the Old Era Martial Arts World, this was called "making kung fu part of the bones".
This is also why, in martial arts circles, it's taboo to be touched on the shoulder or wrist from behind.
As they say, kung fu integrated, responds naturally!
Any taboo actions would instinctively trigger retaliation from the practitioner.
If you don't check your strength, you could end up being thrown to the ground, hit your head, and lose your life there and then!
Old Liang's grappling techniques!
Qin Shi felt a sharp pain in his wrist, unable to pull back in time, his entire arm seemed twisted like a rope, his whole body locked, unable to move.
This is a common hold in fighting techniques.
If you don't know how to counter it, resisting forcefully could either break your wrist or knock you to the ground instantly.
Good thing my tendons are strong! Quickly picked up the training method!
Qin Shi had already activated his muscle memory, capturing that hint of Qi sensitivity.
Hoo, hoo!
A subtle warm current circled inside his body, flowing through his skin and then bursting forth!
Snap!
It was as if a layer of flesh membrane suddenly swelled up, like a rubber ball connected to an air pump!
Swell up by about half a circumference!
Then, Qin Shi powered his shoulder, shaking his arm, forcibly breaking free from Li Yuan's grip!
This guy, is he really just learning the techniques?
Li Yuan's palm was slightly numb, his five fingers unconsciously loosened.
At the critical moment, Qin Shi's wrist, like a violently shaking thick snake, had an elusive, soft power that shook him off!
The initial confrontation allowed him to judge that this kid's physical fitness was far superior to his own.
What good is great strength if you can't release it?
Li Yuan's arm was thrown aside, shifting his center of gravity, his stance unsteady, as if about to fall.
Just as Qin Shi was about to launch a fierce attack, Li Yuan took a deep breath, lowered his waist, grasped the ground with his feet, his toes gripping tight, then suddenly kicked out with his right leg, while using his left for support!
A powerful sweep kick aimed straight at Qin Shi's head!
This is the most crucial point in assessing a boxer's strength!
Attack and defense transition!
No matter how powerful a boxer, their stamina is limited.
In an intense bout, you can't always be on the offensive.
To thoroughly defeat your opponent, you must know when to defend and when to attack, maintaining the rhythm steadily.
This is mastery of technique!
Too fast...
Qin Shi's heart tightened, his naked eye catching the powerful sweep kick.
But when he tried to retreat and avoid it, it was too late.
His movements couldn't keep up with his reaction!
He could only raise his hands as quickly as possible to protect his head!
Boom!
His body tilted, like a knocked-down bowling pin, heavily crashing into the soft mat.
So, this is what it feels like to get hit!
Qin Shi bounced a couple of times, rolled a few meters away, his head buzzing.
Thanks to the protective gear and his hands absorbing the force, he wasn't seriously harmed.
A few seconds later, he shook off the brief dizziness and got back up.
Bro, are you alright?
Xie Yucheng hesitated and asked.
Brother Yuan's kick could be considered a killing move of the Eight-Armed Stance.
Obviously, he felt losing that one move to Qin Shi damaged his pride, causing him to get angry and pull this move.
I'm fine! Brother Yuan's offense and defense are just too great. I originally thought I'd break free from the hold, push forward with my knee, and get up close to fight!
But I didn't expect you to seize the opportunity and KO me with one blow!
Qin Shi exclaimed excitedly.
Just sparring with Li Yuan, in the moment between victory and defeat, his adrenaline soared.
It brought back the thrilling feeling of pushing limits from his past life.
Sparring in real combat is indeed more thrilling than building a foundation alone!
If the Monument Panel could show experience bars.
This quickly concluded fight should display a line of text like—[You had an exhilarating battle, spirit +50]!
Once more, Brother Yuan! Help me find my attacking rhythm!
Qin Shi seemed to be activated, eager to invite another round.
He tried to fight a few more rounds to facilitate using [Combat Retrospect] to deepen his impression.
Did I kick his brain broken?
Li Yuan was somewhat stunned; he thought that after such a heavy kick, Qin Shi would have been humiliated, thrown a fit, and quit.
He didn't expect the guy to act like nothing happened, pulling him to continue training.
Xie Yucheng advised:
Mr. Qin, let it go. At Nine Middle, Brother Yuan is the best in technique; you haven't even got the basics down. The difference is too big.
Qin Shi shook his head; perhaps having lived through two lives, the intense teenage pride did not manifest in him.
As long as he could make progress and learn things, getting punched and kicked a few times was no big deal.
You can't practice martial arts without getting hit or injured.
Even if you go back to the days when Yan Haishan, the first-generation Martial God stood at the pinnacle of Dongxia.
As a child, he was still chased by country geese, crying, and later wrote about it in his autobiography as a funny story.
Thus came the legendary tale of "one goose" with Martial God level combat power.
If you can take it, we can keep going.
Hearing Qin Shi call him "Brother Yuan," Li Yuan felt a secret satisfaction, though his tone remained calm:
Your attacks have too many flaws, you can't go all out with your punches, you have to hold back three to five parts, or else your opponent will seize the gaps.
How about this time, I attack and you defend, let's see if your stance holds up.
Qin Shi had no objections; he keenly sensed that this Brother Yuan's attitude seemed to have improved a bit?
For the next hour.
The training room echoed with the dull thuds of sandbags hitting the ground.
Talent Brother really is the King of Legendary Endurance, getting hit by Brother Yuan in all sorts of ways but still getting up. If it were me, I'd be done after five or six knocks!
Xie Yucheng leaned against the window wall, clicking his tongue in awe.
A body weighing over a hundred plus pounds being frequently slammed to the ground, even without hitting something, would make your bones rattle.
This kid just doesn't get tired? Feels like he can fight me all day!
Li Yuan was slightly out of breath. Compared to the onlooking Xie Yucheng, he could better appreciate Qin Shi's tenacity.
And that kind of frightening improvement speed!
From initially being treated like a training bot and knocked down within three attacks.
To now needing to use 100% concentration and experience, staying fully alert to counter.
Even after so many days of training with me, Xie Yucheng was never this scary! Feels like he's using me as an experience grinding post, gaining experience each time!
Li Yuan was both amazed and suspicious inside, but outwardly maintained the image of the top fighter of the remedial class, breaking through Qin Shi's defensive stance once again, and calmly advised:
Don't watch your opponent's hand to judge their moves. Unless Life Force breaks twenty points, an ordinary person's reaction cannot keep up with the punch speed to capture the punching trajectory!
You need to watch the opponent's shoulder; all moves rely on the shoulder joint's power...
I think I got it, Brother Yuan.
Qin Shi felt enlightened, many points Old Liang had told him about.
But understanding on paper is superficial, truly committing it to memory requires repeated practice.
Understanding with your mind but not your hands is useless.
Li Yuan snorted, given the "Brother Yuan" name, he adopted the Eight-Armed Stance, clamping his feet to the ground, leaning forward, intending to show Qin Shi what real rapid and fierce attacks look like!
Legs crossing, powering up for a sprint, creating air currents as he ran!
Shoulder faintly shaking, using feints to trick his opponent into impulsively punching, then twisting for an elbow strike!
Even if Qin Shi defended and blocked, Li Yuan could connect it with knee strikes, jabs, kicks, wrestling, and other moves.
With an overwhelming advantage, beating Qin Shi down without any chance to retaliate!
This should finally make you yield...
Li Yuan's smile hadn't fully formed when it turned into astonishment.
The elbow strike, containing the power of a whole body rotation, hit Qin Shi's interlaced palms with a "thump".
Such fierce body contact made both of them tremble, retreating a few steps.
Blocked it? Did he figure out my technique?
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, his back foot dug deep into the mat, then he shot out like an arrow again, launching a front kick at the well-defended Qin Shi.
But Qin Shi predicted it again, still crossing his hands to protect his abdomen, deflecting the kicked foot.
Then Qin Shi advanced instead of retreating, taking advantage of Li Yuan's shifted center of gravity, squeezing his body in.
His fists thrust forward like ox horns, striking through the gap, hitting Li Yuan's chest!
Boom!
This time, the thud was heavy, seemingly heftier than before.
Holy crap!
Xie Yucheng watched with his mouth agape, full of disbelief.
Talent Brother's mind is sharp, and his hands are trained fast?
How can he understand just by watching and learn immediately?!
