‘Genius! Could there really be innate martial arts geniuses in this world who can master the skills after being taught just once?’
Angelia falls into a daze.
“Coach, how was that?”
Su Lu asks, brimming with excitement, after completing a set of movements.
The feeling of having mastered his strength was quite good. At this moment, he was confident that he could take on two of his former selves.
Of course – if he encountered that mysterious shadow from before, the outcome wouldn’t be optimistic.
“You did well, very well indeed!”
Recovered from her daze, Angelia steadies her mind and says, “I think you can start actual combat training.”
“Oh, real fighting?”
Su Lu asks, somewhat excited, “Who’s my opponent?”
“Beginners usually struggle with controlling their strength, so I’ll be your only opponent.” Angelia steps onto a ring, performs a few warm-up movements, and showcases her impressive physique, attracting many onlookers.
“It’s Angelia, she’s going to spar with someone!”
Seeing this scene, a few trainees immediately threw away what they were doing and gathered around the ring.
More and more people gather, and eventually, even the other two trainers are drawn over.
“Phew…” fre enovelkiss.com
Su Lu steps onto the stage and takes a deep breath.
Even though there were only tens of spectators, he was a little nervous.
‘It seems training alone and participating in an official match are indeed two different things, not to mention actual combat… But this is also an opportunity for growth. I am curious about the source of experience points.’
Up to now, except for gaining fifty points from the magic book, Su Lu has gained nothing. His later attempts to read and gain something were fruitless, which frustrated him.
‘It seems only books that possess special powers and are read for the first time provide experience. What about defeating monsters? Is it simply defeating them or…is it necessary to…kill them?’
Su Lu felt a bit heavy-hearted.
“Do you need any protective gear?”
On the other side, Angelia gives him a kind smile.
“Thank you, but I don’t need it! Let’s start.”
Su Lu takes a stance, and his demeanor suddenly changes.
A serious expression creeps onto Angelia’s face as she starts to slowly move, circling the ring.
Suddenly, she stops in her tracks and lunges forward like a female leopard, swiftly moving behind Su Lu. With her right hand formed like a blade, she aims straight for the back of his head.
In martial arts, this is a potentially lethal pressure point, which can easily knock a person unconscious. If one doesn’t control their strength well, it could even be fatal. In an official match, this is a forbidden area to attack.
Of course, Angelia was able to measure her strength appropriately. She could hold back at a crucial moment.
The next moment, it was as if Su Lu had eyes on the back of his head. He spins around abruptly and lashes out with his right arm as if it were a whip, piercing the air and creating a cracking noise. “The fifth form – Spin Around!”
After the Maga fighting skills became a skill, every movement indeed became a reflex. As soon as the body was stimulated, the immediate unconscious response would follow.
Previously, Su Lu had to feel the opponent’s force first, formulate a thought in his mind, decide to defend himself, and then have his body respond, which took a lot of time.
But now, without any thought, as soon as he felt a force behind his head, his body immediately reacted defensively.
“Huh?”
The two male instructors watching the scene were taken aback.
If the fighting skills have become a reflex, it means that one has truly entered the door of martial arts, and it would be no problem to deal with a few ordinary people.
Smack!
Their palms crossed in mid-air, and Angelia quickly backed off, shaking her right hand, “Your strength…”
She was initially just testing him. She never expected that Su Lu had truly mastered martial arts and that his strength would somewhat exceed her expectations.
“Coach, shall we continue?”
Su Lu also shook his palm to alleviate the numbness.
“Let’s do it again!”
Angelia was a bit resentful. She rushed forward again, this time head-on. Her fingers swiftly aimed for Su Lu’s eyes. She was fierce and formidable.
The fighting style of Maga techniques was indeed so brutal that just any regular opponent would be unnerved upon seeing it and lose their morale.
But Su Lu remained calm. He displayed the Eight Forms accurately and was evenly matched with Angelia.
This scene left many trainees stupefied.
A martial arts rookie who had only been training for two days was actually going toe-to-toe with the coach. It was unbelievable!
“Phew…”
Breathing heavily, Su Lu was excited but also well aware that he was fast reaching his limit.
Although his strength and agility were similar to Angelia’s, his constitution was a bit lacking. Once they reached a stalemate, he would immediately be at a disadvantage.
But he wanted to win!
No matter what, this was a good opportunity to attempt to gain experience points!
‘After all, Angelia is just a girl. Her constitution should be between 0.8 and 0.9, her agility is similar to mine, and her strength is a bit lower than mine… But she is a coach. She must be feeling impatient after battling a rookie for so long…’
After defending a few more attacks, a sudden realization came over Su Lu: “Now’s the time!”
Taking advantage of the moment Angelia was retreating, he lunged forward, grabbed her waist, and threw her down with all his might.
Bang!
Both of them fell to the ground at the same time. He swiftly wrapped his legs around her like a python, locking Angelia in place.
“The Eighth Form – Body Lock Technique!”
This was the only form in Maga techniques that subdues an opponent in a gentler way. Attacking the eyes or throat in this situation would have been inappropriate.
“Huh???”
Angelia was locked in place, unable to move, and looked blank.
During the previous encounters, she was on the offensive while Su Lu was passively defending. She hadn’t expected him to suddenly counterattack, leaving her flustered, and succumbing to his control.
What’s more critical was that this grappling technique required unavoidable body contact. As they fell to the ground tangled up, Su Lu’s hands and feet touched her sensitive areas, making her face turn redder.
“Let go now!”
Her face flushed, she quickly commanded.
“Sorry!”
Su Lu got up and only then realized that perhaps using the Body Lock Technique wasn’t quite appropriate, especially under the gaze of the numerous spectators.
“Good job, bro!”
“Is this the Body Lock Technique? I want to learn it too!”
The spectators were already buzzing. Many of them were whistling, their eyes glowing green with envy.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, this guy daringly took advantage of the situation. They were so…envying, jealous, and hated him! Ah, why wasn’t it me!
“You’re amazing, and you’ve mastered various techniques very proficiently… I admit, I lost!”
Angelia stands up, brushes off her hair, and calmly admits.
She still found it hard to believe — she’d been laughing at Su Lu as a weakling just yesterday, and today, he’d turned the tables on her.
“Thank you, coach!”
Su Lu shakes Angelia’s hand, but he sighs a little inside.
The victory just now didn’t bring him any experience points after all.
