When it was past 1 o'clock, the wind and rain still continued. Under the lights of the canteen, a woman dragged her tired body in. The young man sitting behind the counter watching TV immediately stood up: "Uh, you..."
"A piece of bread, thank you."
"Oh." The young man nodded, and quickly followed the girl's instructions to pack the large bread. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want an umbrella?"
"...No need." Looking at the label on the umbrella fence, the girl shook her head, took out her wallet from her wet pocket, took out a few semi-wet small denomination coins with her fingers, put them on the counter, and then took them
After passing the bread, the young man opened his wallet and saw that there seemed to be no extra banknotes in it.
He hesitated for a moment, but when he looked up again, the girl had already walked out of the door with the bread in her chest. The young man sat down and looked at the picture on the TV, then looked back at the rain curtain outside the store. After a while, he took a bite
Gritting his teeth, he picked up an umbrella and rushed out.
The girl's figure appeared under the streetlight not far ahead, and he chased after her.
"Uh, um... it's raining... although you are already soaked, um... don't worry, just treat it as a gift from me, um... goodbye..."
The girl's plain gaze seemed to give people a faint sense of oppression, which made it difficult for him to speak smoothly. After passing the umbrella, he smiled, turned around and ran towards the canteen. From a distance, he seemed to see a figure hidden in the darkness.
, he didn't think much, and ran under the eaves. The girl had already walked silently to the other side of the road with an umbrella, gradually leaving the field of vision.
…
…
Colored lights shine from various artistic light poles. No matter what, it still gives people a dim feeling. Walking through this path winding through the forest is the apartment-style dormitory area of Sacred Heart College.
Without warning, Xun stopped in the middle of the path and turned around.
Another tall figure followed from behind. That was Joseph.
"I think you should know me. You were the one driving the car in the parking lot of the Blue Bird Bar on Saturday night!"
With a huge sense of pressure, Joseph stopped two steps in front of her.
"I want to know the whereabouts of Marilyn and Heidi!"
"I don't know." After the calm tone, Xun turned around. Immediately, Joseph's body appeared in front of her again, throwing away the umbrella in his hand: "Then you follow me!"
"I reject."
"This is not a request." Joseph's eyes narrowed, "You are just a child. Although being able to run a marathon in more than four hours is enough to prove that you are special, I hope you understand that I have a hundred victories in black market boxing.
Record... Once I take action, I'm afraid you will die."
"...I refuse." It was still a light voice. After saying that, he ignored Joseph's blockage and moved forward. Then Joseph's hand grabbed his shoulder.
Holding the bread and umbrella in his left hand, Xun's right wrist suddenly turned. His fingertips moved towards the bloodline of Joseph's wrist.
The breath of death is coming!
There was a crash. The umbrella and bread flew up in the air. Xun's body flew out, spun twice in the air, and landed on the ground. His right wrist was trembling slightly.
The street lights buzzed.
"You can still react like this after running 40,000 meters. For a child, you are surprisingly strong. Chinese Kung Fu? Japanese Ninjutsu?" He unbuttoned one button of his clothes. Joseph laughed, "What if?
Your strength has not been consumed. It may take some effort to catch you, but now..."
The figure that stretched back suddenly shortened, and there was a loud bang. The iron street light pole with thick arms was kicked out of a ninety-degree right angle by the sweeping leg. The light on the pole flickered on and off in an instant. Taking advantage of the opportunity,
Fleeing to the woods on one side, Joseph's voice came over.
"I don't want to cause a big fuss, so you'd better surrender."
Around a big tree, Xun kicked Joseph in the back.
never……
…
…
After a three-minute life-and-death chase in the forest with the night rain, Xun resisted the severe pain in his leg and swerved around a tree next to him, followed by the roar of Joseph's fist.
So far in the fight, her body has only come into contact with Joseph once. At that time, she made a sneak attack from the blind spot behind the opponent, but was still defended by Joseph. With a sweeping arm, she flew out, which caused severe pain in her legs.
This person is very strong.
A body like steel, a skill purely for killing. With every attack from the opponent, you can almost hear the tearing feeling of a desert-like storm, ferocious, cruel, and no way out. If you are in the best physical condition
In this state, she would use Chi Ying Qian Huan's skills to rush up again and again, looking for his weaknesses to attack, but in any case, her current physical condition has dropped to the lowest level, and for a while she can only rely on the obstacles in the woods.
Continuously dodging should be considered the strength of ninja training.
But in this completely instinctive reaction, she could feel something more clearly.
If it were myself a year ago, and encountered such a full-force blow, he might have died...
She has been in China for nearly a year. Although she is said to have accepted Jiaming as her teacher, the main things she learns are usually taught by Lingjing and Shasha. Sometimes she has also evaluated whether it would be a real competition.
, if they take action by themselves, these two girls will probably all fall down within a minute. Under their simple teachings, the most common thing they do is to practice the Chinese style that looks gorgeous but is incredible in actual combat day after day.
Kung Fu, from Wing Chun to Tai Chi, Arhat Quan, Baguazhang, etc., she dared not question Jiaming's training methods, but when a long time passed, she would occasionally evaluate in her mind that such training was actually effective.
What's the use?
The best way to evaluate is, of course, actual combat. However, every time I fight with Jiaming, even though the opponent will mutter one or two words after the end: "It seems to be a little stronger than last time..." "It seems to be a little more flexible..."
"But the tone was all uncertain. He was knocked down by Jiaming at the same time every time, and even
Because of his arm joints, it was difficult for Kaoru, who was unable to engage in more concrete combat, to be sure that he was making progress.
Only then did she finally see these things.
After resisting again and again, relying on instinctive dodges, and even more skillful Chiying Qianhuan's movements that seemed magical before, Chiying Qianhuan truly realized that she had indeed become stronger.
This man's strength may be similar to that of his uncle back then. If his physical energy had not been exhausted, maybe...maybe it would be possible to find his weakness and defeat him? Can I...can...
Every time he escaped the opponent's attack at the last moment, Xun asked himself this question over and over again in his heart. The hope was obviously slim, but he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. For the current situation, the embarrassing situation seemed to have become impossible.
She just instinctively avoided the important things, and kept thinking of Jia Ming's figure, the things he had done, and the words he had said...
"Martial arts is just a nice thing to say, but in fact it is nothing more than fighting skills, using knives, swords, sticks, stones, and now pistols. Some people say that the purpose of martial arts is to knock down the opponent. This is certainly true, but it often extends later.
The conclusion is disgusting, so karate is the strongest martial arts in the world, so Taekwondo is the strongest martial arts in the world, so Muay Thai is the strongest martial arts in the world, that's all bullshit..."
"With the development of martial arts, its role is to understand and develop people's potential. For example, even if a rookie like you points a pistol at me, I can still feel your movements through the movement of your muscles, and when you shoot
Although it sounds unbelievable, it is indeed achievable. Death is the best catalyst, which can stimulate people's potential to the limit. After a person has experienced too many such things, he will often form
Conditioned reflex, do you want to try it... But after I escape, my next move will be to kill you..."
"So. In terms of training physical potential, the strongest martial arts system is undoubtedly Chinese Kung Fu. This is not a matter of self-esteem as a Chinese, because I actually started with karate, but as I developed
Chinese Kung Fu has lasted for five thousand years. It has involved almost any part of the human body. The hands and feet are just the most basic, including the head, shoulders, knees, elbows, fingers, knuckles, and fingertips, to something similar to the eighteen-fold movement of clothes.
It is really difficult to understand things like this, but if you can truly control every part of the body accurately, there is no doubt that you can achieve that effect, and then... at the top, that is
Tai Chi. The last move comes first, and softness overcomes hardness. People in this state can not only control themselves, but also accurately control every move of the other party. Well, it is more profound and I can't do it, so I won't talk about it..."
"In short, all the fancy tricks are actually just used to make people know themselves. After you know yourself, you can naturally forget about it..."
Know yourself…forget it…
In the darkness, the fist wind struck again. He suddenly turned around and missed the heavy punch. Then, his arm swept across. Xun had already taken a step to avoid the scope of the fist wind. All the strength of his body was in this
In one step, he gathered his right fist and swept both fists towards Joseph's chest.
Ninjutsu •Death Punch.
Feeling the attack, Joseph swept forward with a kick, but he was still in mid-air. He seemed to instinctively feel the danger. He suddenly retracted his legs and retreated awkwardly, avoiding this contact with Xunchi.
With a bang, a seemingly ordinary punch hit the tree trunk next to him. In the muffled sound, the tree trunk seemed to explode from the inside, and sawdust flew out, proving that Joseph's avoidance was correct. Look at the death punch in ninjutsu.
It seems simple, a single step, a simple sweep, and what is hit is not even the front of the fist. However, in terms of fatality rate, it is more powerful than a shotgun shot. Once it hits the chest, it is equivalent to using a sledgehammer violently.
A direct blow to the heart. If Joseph had not retreated just now, it would probably be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
This is also the first time that Joseph has given in since the war began.
However, sharpening the gun in front of the battle may bring about a moment of brilliance, but it cannot really make up for the gap in strength. After this punch, Xun's body trembled slightly, and he was unable to dodge another horizontal kick. Do it well.
Preparing for a broken arm, she suddenly raised her hands to protect her head. The next moment, someone grabbed her by the back collar and threw her back.
My back hit the ground, but surprisingly it didn't hurt very much. It was far away from the street lights, and it was pitch black in front of me. No matter how wide I opened my eyes, I couldn't see the scene there. I could only vaguely detect the presence of something there.
Two people were fighting fiercely. Water splashed.
In less than half a minute, Joseph, who had been chasing her so calmly, let out two angry roars. Then there was a muffled sound, and a body fell to the ground. Footsteps were heard, and someone walked up to her.
, lifted her shoulders with one hand, reached into the crook of her leg with the other hand, and picked her up.
Raindrops fell on her face, and she felt the man's chest. She suddenly felt that all the fatigue and pain had disappeared, but she still didn't have a trace of strength. This reason allowed her to lie in this embrace for a while longer.
.
"I saw it, well done."
In the warmth, the man praised her for the first time...
