Chapter 034 Beginner Combat Skills: Introduction to Fist Techniques
3:30 p.m.
The third lesson was a combat skills lesson.
The class is held in a three-story training building opposite the Qi and Blood Cultivation Hall.
First floor, training room number two.
The thirty students of Class 1, Grade 11, stood solemnly.
Cao Luo stood at the very front, his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over everyone with an almost tangible intensity.
"You've been studying 'Basic Combat Techniques: Fist and Foot Techniques' for half a year now."
Her voice was devoid of any warmth: "To be honest, I'm very disappointed. Even a pig should have mastered the basics by now, after six months. But there are still several students in the class who haven't even scratched the surface."
Lin Bei noticed that Wan Yang, who was standing next to him, trembled involuntarily.
"I'm only giving you one month."
Cao Luo held up one finger, his tone cold and stern: "In the assessment one month from now, anyone who fails the combat skills course will have their next month's allowance deducted."
Wan Yang's body trembled again.
Lin Bei remained quite calm.
The punishment that Teacher Cao mentioned shouldn't apply to him. After all, he had only just been promoted to the elite class and had never been exposed to combat techniques before.
Even if Teacher Cao is ruthless and attacks indiscriminately.
He wasn't afraid.
With the system panel available, he was fully confident that he could master this basic combat skill within a month.
"Let's begin."
Cao Luo waved his hand, and the crowd immediately scattered.
Some people choose to practice alone, while others practice in pairs.
Boom!
The training room was soon filled with the sounds of fists and feet clashing.
Lin Bei stood aside, carefully observing their moves.
A male student stood still, took a deep breath, and then threw a punch.
Snapped!
A loud bang exploded in the air.
Even standing five or six meters away, Lin Bei could feel the astonishing power of that punch.
If you hit him, he'll be seriously injured, if not killed.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Lin Bei was secretly astonished.
It is just a basic combat skill, yet it has such extraordinary power.
No wonder combat skills are listed alongside health, constitution, and mental strength as one of the four essential courses for martial artists.
"Stop looking."
Lin Bei turned his head and found that Teacher Cao had walked up to him at some point.
"Come with me."
Cao Luo waved.
Lin Bei followed her to the training room next door, which was empty.
Cao Luo closed the door, shutting out the noise from outside.
She got straight to the point: "Starting today, I will guide you for three days. After that, it's up to you to practice."
"Yes, teacher."
Lin Bei responded respectfully.
"Basic Combat Techniques: Hand and Foot Techniques" is the foundation of all combat techniques. Once you master it, your body becomes a fighting machine.
Cao Luo spoke quickly, getting straight to the point:
"Its main attack methods include fists, palms, elbows, knees, legs, feet... Each category has several or even more than a dozen different moves."
"In the first lesson, I'll teach you boxing techniques."
"Watch closely, this punch emphasizes the instantaneous burst of qi and blood."
As soon as she finished speaking, her right arm suddenly tensed up, her blood and qi surged, and instantly gathered in her fist.
He threw a punch casually.
Crack!
With a piercing shriek, a visible shockwave exploded from the fist.
Lin Bei felt a gust of wind rush towards him, and even his breath caught in his throat.
He involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Cao Luo withdrew his fist and asked a question calmly.
"I saw it clearly."
Lin Bei nodded.
"Alright, next up is the second move, the jab. Utilizing a burst of energy, we'll greatly increase our punching speed..."
Cao Luo acted swiftly and decisively, demonstrating all of the dozen or so boxing moves in just five minutes.
She deliberately slowed down her movements so that Lin Bei could see every detail clearly.
Lin Bei watched.
While building a learning model in their minds, they perfectly replicated the teacher's movements and the timing of his bursts of energy.
Demonstration complete.
Cao Luo asked, "What questions do you have?"
"no."
"Alright, then type it out for me to see."
Lin Bei walked to the center of the training room and took a deep breath.
Driven by the guiding technique, the dormant Qi and blood in the right arm quickly converged on the fist.
next second.
He swung his right arm, and his fist shot out like a cannonball.
boom!
A muffled thud echoed through the air.
"continue."
Cao Luo crossed his arms and looked on expressionlessly.
Without wasting words, Lin Bei immediately adjusted his movements and began practicing the second move...
soon.
He then practiced all the moves.
"I barely passed."
Cao Luo gave a lukewarm comment.
You can learn all the moves of more than a dozen boxing styles after just one viewing.
This learning talent is definitely at the level of 80 or above.
In the entire Class 1, only a few people, such as Song Che and Meng Shuyu, could outshine him.
but--
Compared to his freakish talent in Intermediate Guiding Techniques, Lin Bei's performance in combat skills can only be described as...not bad.
"There really are no all-around geniuses in the world..."
Cao Luo glanced at Lin Bei, said nothing more, and left after saying "Keep practicing."
She had just stepped out of the training room.
Lin Bei stopped pretending and silently recited in his heart:
"Panel, start!"
……
More than twenty minutes later.
"Punch punch!"
Lin Bei threw a punch, the air exploded, and a muffled bang was heard.
The momentum is more than ten times stronger than at the beginning.
"call……"
He withdrew his fist, exhaled deeply, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Relying on the panel's 'muscle synergy detection algorithm' and 'blood and qi scanning algorithm', he fully grasped the exertion state of each of his muscles and the timing of the burst of blood and qi.
Then compare it with the "Teacher Cao model" in your mind.
He practiced while identifying his mistakes.
It's like finding a bug.
With each bug he finds and fixes, his progress increases by one point.
Less than half an hour.
He had already mastered the first move, the punch, to a very good degree.
Since there was no reference point, Lin Bei was unsure of his skill level.
It should have surpassed the beginner level and reached the proficient level.
"Next, we'll move on to the second move."
Lin Bei got into position and activated the control panel again.
With previous experience.
He improved even faster this time. With each fine-tuning of the timing of muscle exertion and blood and qi bursts, his punching speed became faster and faster.
call out!
He threw a punch as fast as lightning.
The fist rubbed against the air at high speed, producing a piercing shriek.
"I've also mastered the second technique."
Lin Bei withdrew his fist and summarized his experience.
Compared to the powerful and domineering first punch, the second jab emphasizes speed and has no fancy techniques; it's all about speed.
As the saying goes, in the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses.
"This jab may seem simple, but its coordination of muscles and timing of the burst of energy are actually much more advanced than the first move..."
As Lin Bei was summarizing his experience, he suddenly smelled a faint whiff of smoke.
Looking back.
Teacher Cao appeared behind him without him noticing, with half a cigarette dangling from her mouth.
