"Now?"
Under the setting sun in the evening, a burly man and a strong young man stood opposite each other. Both of them were as strong as each other, looking like masters competing against each other.
"Uncle Luo, let's make a deal first. You can only use the same strength as me, otherwise you lose, and I promise you will cry and beg me... not to die."
Xia Xu said with a smile.
"Do you think I look like someone who would cry?"
Luo Hongyun's face darkened slightly.
"Hey, just a joke, just to liven up the atmosphere. I'm nervous."
Xia Xu laughed awkwardly.
"Can we start?"
Luo Hongyun raised his eyebrows slightly and did not comment.
"Well, let's get started."
Xia Xu nodded slightly.
He had just taken a pill of SB-13, and his brain was now in overclocked mode.
This is not a waste or nonsense, but only by fighting a master like Uncle Luo can he have real combat capabilities.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he performed the fighting routine with great vigor in the consulting company before, but in fact it was a whole set of "routines". The real combat requires to counter each move with a counterattack, and to split the moves in the routine into separate ones to deal with the needs of different situations.
This requires sufficient practical experience and attempts. With the help of the super brain potion to analyze the brain's overclocking state and remember the countermeasures in various situations, he can truly possess the practical ability.
"Boy, do you want me to make the first move?"
Seeing that Xia Xu didn't move after he finished speaking, Luo Hongyun couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, I won't be polite then."
Xia Xu chuckled, then suddenly jumped up, rushed forward a few steps, turned around and kicked to gather momentum. After landing, he continued to twist and spin, and kicked Luo Hongyun's neck with a whip kick.
Under normal circumstances, he would never be able to do this move, just like many people cannot do a handstand or a backflip. It's not that they can't do it, but that they can't overcome the psychological fear and directly set limits on themselves and deny themselves.
But the mechanical centipede spine didn't even give him the chance to be afraid. When he wanted to do an action in his mind, the mechanical centipede spine directly stimulated the muscles and forced it to be executed.
Bang!
Luo Hongyun raised his left arm and bent his elbow to block his ear, taking Xia Xu's whip kick head-on. His muscular arm did not move at all and his face remained calm.
Swish!
While blocking Xia Xu's attack, his right hand also attacked like a poisonous snake and directly pinched Xia Xu's neck.
quick!
Almost reaching the limit!
Even though Luo Hongyun had tried his best to restrain his own strength, he still left ordinary people with no chance to dodge once he attacked.
Fortunately, Xia Xu has managed to escape from the ordinary ranks.
The "length" of time is actually floating, just like the days that seem like years when facing boredom and pain, and the fleeting moments when facing pleasure and daze. The true length of time depends on the perception of the organism.
The normal length of one second perceived by humans may be two, three or even more seconds for dogs or other animals.
There are many factors that affect biological time perception, but among the most obvious factors, "thinking speed" is undoubtedly one of them.
One second allows us to think about more things, make more observations and process sensory information, so the time will naturally become longer in relative terms.
The super brain potion is a drug that can speed up thinking, which allows him to have more thinking time in battle. Especially when he is highly focused, the moving objects around him will slow down to a certain extent.
Coupled with the execution power and explosive movement speed brought by the mechanical centipede spine.
Click!
With a teeth-painful cracking sound, Xia Xu, who was about to be strangled by Luo Hongyun, leaned back and bent down at the critical moment, avoiding the grab and at the same time, he supported himself with one hand and flipped backwards to create some distance.
"Huh?"
Luo Hongyun couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Although he had just done it casually, he was 99% sure that he could capture Xia Xu directly and end the battle.
This is both confidence in his own strength and familiarity with Xia Xu. After all, he was the one who taught Xia Xu all of his fighting training, so he naturally knew his progress and strength very well.
But he never expected that Xia Xu would show off his skills and give him an unexpected surprise.
"There's something there. No wonder you're so confident today."
Luo Hongyun laughed, and being delighted to see prey, he took the initiative to chase after Xia Xu.
Although he has mastered a lot of fighting techniques, he has obviously simplified them and is no longer restricted to any particular style or move.
Moreover, his fighting style is mainly head-on, and he rarely uses fancy moves such as flying kicks and roundhouse kicks.
In his words, this type of moves is more powerful, but also has greater flaws, especially those that will lift both feet off the ground, which are complete sitting ducks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Left hook, right hook, uppercut.
Luo Hongyun used a very common and classic three-hit combo, but it was powerful and completely blocked Xia Xu's space to dodge, forcing him to fight head-on.
Fortunately, he controlled his strength and it was only at the same level as Xia Xu.
His thinking speeded up, his brain quickly calculated the attack trajectory, and screened and split the various fighting techniques in his memory. Xia Xu dodged left and right, and finally managed to block the three consecutive attacks.
Moreover, taking advantage of the moment when Luo Hongyun was exhausted and stiff after using a series of moves, he launched a counterattack without saying a word, mainly using Wing Chun, combined with various techniques from various schools that were split and selected to launch close combat.
"Good boy!"
After a few moves, Luo Hongyun was also a little surprised.
The mechanical centipede spine may be able to enhance physical fitness, but there is no way to enhance these things such as skills.
But at this moment Xia Xu's performance was very unique. Although he was unfamiliar, and even occasionally seemed slow to react and dazed, he was always able to use appropriate parrying and attacking techniques at critical moments.
He is thinking!
Think in the critical and ever-changing close combat, and calmly decide on the fighting method!
Luo Hongyun, who was already a top expert and had similar experiences, instantly realized Xia Xu's current condition.
Feeling Xia Xu's terrifying speed of improvement, Luo Hongyun was not in a hurry to win, and simply started to fight against Xia Xu's moves.
The two of them sometimes parried and fought hard, sometimes dodged and fought back, and the fight was in full swing. If ordinary people were watching here, they would probably think that this was a duel between two equally powerful martial arts masters.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a fierce battle, Luo Hongyun followed up with a left and right uppercut, forcing Xia Xu to block the left and right punches with both hands, and then he leaned back to create distance.
However, Xia Xu, who had gradually found his form, did not pause at all. After stabilizing his body, he took the initiative to rush forward again to launch a counterattack.
Bang! Bang!
The same left and right hooks, hitting directly in the face.
After two punches, Xia Xu followed up with a roundhouse kick that hit Luo Hongyun's temple. When Luo Hongyun leaned back slightly to dodge, he fell back and swept his leg towards his calf.
This is the real killer move!
One point that Luo Hongyun always emphasized when teaching him fighting was that he must not fall to the ground. Once he did, he would completely lose the initiative and could only passively take a beating or wrestle with his opponent.
For this reason, Xia Xu used all his strength in this sweeping kick.
This was a combo he had planned for a long time and was his last-ditch effort. He no longer had the strength to continue fighting.
However…
Bang!
Luo Hongyun had a blank expression on his face and his legs didn't move at all.
"Ah~!!! Uncle Luo, you can't be so shameless."
Xia Xu instantly put on a mask of pain.
The sweeping kick didn't knock the man down, but instead I felt like I might have broken a bone.
"I can only control my strength, not the hardness of my legs. Besides, you didn't say that I can't use the injury-for-injury fighting method, right?"
It was rare to see Xia Xu being frustrated, so Luo Hongyun showed a barely noticeable smile on his face.
"You're trying to cheat, aren't you?"
After taking a few deep breaths and confirming that his leg was not really broken, Xia Xu stood up with a grimacing pain: "Then Uncle Luo, I have to argue with you. You have already lost, don't you know?"
"Oh? How did I lose? I just used my injuries to counter your attack. I have been standing in military posture and horse stance for decades, so my lower body is so stable."
Luo Hongyun raised his eyebrows.
Xia Xu said: "We agreed in advance that you can only use the same strength as me. If you exceed, you will lose."
Luo Hongyun smiled and said, "Do I have more power than you? Even if it's a little bit more, you can't confirm it, right?"
Xia Xu said: "Of course it is more than that, and it is more than double. It is my strength. The mechanical centipede's amplification is an equipment I got by my own ability. You can fight with me wearing the mechanical centipede spine."
Luo Hongyun: “…”
