Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1670 - 1667: Learning and Using on the Spot

Lin Tian looked at the group of laughing members, neither laughing nor angry, and said seriously, "I almost forgot, I train for long-distance running, I really haven’t learned martial arts."

"Hahaha... There are people as honest as this." Jin Luxian laughed out loud, likely thinking to himself, does this guy have an IQ of two hundred?

"Senior Brother Jin, should we let him learn a few moves on the spot before the spar, in case they say we’re bullying a newbie?" a karate club member said loudly on purpose.

"This classmate has a point, I can consider learning and demonstrating on the spot," Lin Tian followed up on his words, appearing quite inexperienced.

Everyone was taken aback, surprised there was someone this unskilled. Mu Binglan had a face full of frustration, and whispered, "Lin Tian, you’re not serious, right?"

"Of course I’m serious, I can run, but I’ve never practiced traditional martial arts." Lin Tian said honestly, he wasn’t lying. He really hadn’t practiced traditional martial arts, he trained in Ancient Martial, which is on a different level.

"You don’t need to discuss it, I’ll give you half an hour, no, an hour, is that enough? We’ll just wait here, everyone has nothing to do, watching you practice martial arts is a good show, isn’t it?" Kunno Saburo generously said, but his face showed he was enjoying the spectacle.

"No need for an hour, ten minutes is enough." Lin Tian said something very amateurish again, causing everyone to shake their heads, then Lin Tian continued, "Learning martial arts on the fly, I can’t handle anything complicated, how about something simple like Nine Yang Divine Skill, Qiankun Great Shifting, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, any of these will do."

"Damn, this guy is genuinely clueless, he must have watched too many TV dramas, really thinks there’s Nine Yang Divine Skill in real life." Now even the Martial Arts Club members were speechless, convinced Lin Tian was just a novice, worse than those who only knew routines.

"You should pick something simple to learn." Mu Binglan had no idea what Lin Tian was up to, so she had to go along with him, but her look of helplessness was evident to everyone.

"Simple?" Lin Tian appeared deep in thought, and everyone thought he came up with something clever, but Lin Tian earnestly said, "Then let’s do a few simple moves, like a sweeping leg, Black Tiger Heart-Pulling, or Monkey Steals the Peach..."

Lin Tian rattled off a list, but "Monkey Steals the Peach"—what is that about? It’s a vicious crotch-grabbing technique, and many people started sweating and tensed up down below just hearing it.

Mu Binglan was quite embarrassed, although martial arts’ primary goal is to defeat the opponent, teaching Lin Tian "Monkey Steals the Peach" made her tremble with disgust just thinking about it.

"I’ll just teach you some common moves." Mu Binglan had to pretend she didn’t hear Lin Tian, and said.

Hearing Mu Binglan teach martial arts quieted everyone down, even if it sounded somewhat amusing, people were curious how to teach and learn martial arts, many having grown up on martial arts dramas, with a natural yearning for martial arts, imagining themselves mastering supreme skills, roaming the Jianghu.

"Let me start with the sweeping leg. When performing the sweeping leg, squat down, use one leg as a pivot, and forcefully sweep the opponent’s lower body with the other leg, the key is to be unexpected. Pair it with follow-up moves, if the sweep misses, transition to aggressive attacks. For those with strong mastery, one sweep can take down a wooden pole, breaking the opponent’s leg bones, its destructiveness is immense..."

Mu Binglan transformed into a coach, explaining in detail the power and essentials of the sweeping leg, seizing this great opportunity to promote traditional martial arts, she naturally wouldn’t let it pass, so she explained very thoroughly and brilliantly.

Audiences listened intently, discovering for the first time the depth behind what seemed like a simple sweeping leg.

"I’ll demonstrate once, follow my practice, you don’t need to bother with the follow-up moves, just grasp the technique of the sweeping leg. A seemingly simple move, if executed properly and unexpectedly, can take down an opponent even for a regular person." Mu Binglan continued. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

With that, she suddenly squatted down, and fiercely swept one leg, almost rotating 360 degrees. Mu Binglan’s leg was long and strong, making a whooshing sound and leaving a mark on the ground, kicking up dust; it looked quite powerful.

Kunno Saburo and Jin Luxian watched, surprised at the skill of the girl before them, but soon returned smiles to their faces.

Such a sweeping leg was something they too could execute, perhaps even better, kicking tiles, kicking boards, were just routine training for them. What seemed formidable to outsiders was trivial to them, although they were surprised a girl could do martial arts.

"Great, I’ve learned fifty percent of it." Lin Tian boasted shamelessly, then imitated the movements, and surprisingly, his actions were convincing, just lacking in power.

Kunno Saburo and Jin Luxian exchanged a look, seemingly already picturing how Lin Tian would be trounced later.

After teaching the sweeping leg, Mu Binglan moved on to Black Tiger Heart-Pulling, she didn’t expect Lin Tian to use these to defeat the opponent, just hoped he could leverage his running stamina and agility to not lose too badly.

"Black Tiger Heart Stealing is also a very powerful move..." Mu Binglan continued to explain, detailing the ins and outs to Lin Tian.

Mu Binglan taught very simple, common moves, such that even a regular person could perform them. She knew some killer techniques, but of course, couldn’t teach those to Lin Tian.

After going through several moves, about twenty minutes passed, Lin Tian quickly said, "Alright, the timing is just right, we can learn the rest slowly later."

"Have you learned everything?" Mu Binglan asked, though she immediately felt it was an unnecessary question, as the moves could be done by anyone, but turning them into combat power was not something everyone could do.

"Are you ready now?" Kunno Saburo said.

Mu Binglan glanced at Lin Tian, she was ready to start the spar, worried that Lin Tian hadn’t mastered it yet.

"Ready anytime." Lin Tian confirmed confidently.

Kunno Saburo showed a hint of a smile, looking at Lin Tian and said, "First match, Jin Luxian versus you; second match, me versus Mu Binglan. Now you two step to the center of the field."

Jin Luxian was already in the center of the field, arms folded, leisurely watching Lin Tian. When the audience saw the fight was finally starting, they instantly got excited again.

"Lin Tian, beat him up." The supporters of Lin Tian cheered, mostly girls.

Seeing so many girls supporting Lin Tian, a flash of jealousy crossed Jin Luxian’s eyes, and his lips curled into a faintly wicked smile.

"Ready..." Kunno Saburo pretended to be courteous in reminding, then shouted loudly, "Begin!"

Jin Luxian was just waiting for this cue, and charged at Lin Tian with a punch aimed straight at Lin Tian’s nose. He couldn’t stand Lin Tian’s handsome face from the start, and it drew so much attention from the girls.

He wanted to make Lin Tian’s face unrecognizable, humiliating him in front of the girls. It seemed like Lin Tian reacted half a beat too slow, moving only after Jin Luxian threw his punch.
