Chapter 44: Winning
This competition was the first time that Sun Yixie had taken action in front of his fellow martial arts. Due to the various rumors he had created before and his always mysterious strength, this competition undoubtedly became the focus of the second round.
Brother Sun himself has no pressure on this, but his opponent is under great pressure. After all, he has no confidence...
The opponent he fought against this round was named Li Yuan, who was a twelfth disciple of the Iron Fist Sect.
This Iron Fist Sect is a relatively modest sect in the martial arts world today. Its first generation sect master came out of Shaolin. He was originally a lay disciple in Shaolin, Songshan. Later, he broke through the bronze man formation and went down the mountain to travel around the world. Several years later, he realized a set of twenty-four styles "Eight-shaped Fist" based on the Five-shaped Fist of Shaolin. Later, he set up his own door and opened the mountain to teach his disciples.
As of today, the Iron Fist Sect has a history of nearly a hundred years.
Among the twelve generation disciples, Li Yuan was undoubtedly of high talent and the best martial arts skills; however, his days of practicing martial arts were relatively short, and he didn't start practicing martial arts until he was eleven years old, so he only practiced for seven years this year.
In other words, assuming that since the year he practiced martial arts, he began to develop internal strength after about a year and a half, Li Yuan was really not as strong as Sun Yixie in terms of skills alone.
Because the "five-year internal force" that Sun Yixie had obtained for free before came from the Iron Monk's arms, it was a very pure orthodox Zen internal force. With the addition of his "reversal of the universe" method, the actual power must be much stronger than the five-year skill that ordinary young people have first practiced.
If you still can't understand, I will use the concept I mentioned earlier to summarize Brother Sun's internal strength with high "purity".
Of course, competition is not just about internal strength competition, moves are also very important.
In "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", the opponents Linghu Chong encountered are basically above him, but he often defeated the strong with the weak with the weak, because Dugu Nine Swords in that world is the final answer to the "sword realm", and he is invincible in moves with "no moves than there are moves".
In this competition between Li Yuan and Sun Yixie, although Li Yuan suffered a little loss in internal strength, as long as he had an advantage in his moves, he would have a chance of winning.
"In this game, Li Yuan, the Iron Fist Sect, will play against Hangzhou Sun Yixie."
With the host's announcement, the competition is about to begin.
This young man Li Yuan has thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose and square mouth, and looks so energetic. Today, he is wearing a white dress and a red belt with a waist. He is tight and clean. When he hears someone on the stage called his name, he immediately stepped forward, stepped on the ground and flew onto the ring.
On the other hand, when Sun Yixie, who was lying on the "recliner", heard someone calling him on the stage, he lazily picked up the trident he had placed next to the chair, and then shouted in the direction of the ring.
"ah"
Just when everyone thought he was going to show some amazing light skills, he saw... the guy trotted forward two steps, stretched his trident to the ground, and made a "pole vault" action, barely using the support of the trident to swing from his original position to the ring.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers all showed doubts, and they couldn't figure out whether he was deliberately hiding his strength or pretending to be crazy.
However, the expression on the judges' seat did not change, and he firmly believed that Sun Yixie was hiding his strength.
The reason why Master Chen Sect had this misunderstanding was that Sun Yixie had already told him, "I was once 'instructed' by the Iron Monk in a mountain temple, and I was fortunate to have been taught the skills by my predecessors for several years."
This statement was naturally discussed in advance by Sun and Huang, and the content was half true and half false. Through this ambiguous description, in addition to explaining that Sun Yixi suddenly had several years of internal strength, it can also describe all the martial arts moves Sun Yixi used since then as Yihuai, so as to cover up the Sun's unique martial arts skills... Anyway, as long as Chen Youran could not see Yihuai himself, they could not verify their statement.
"Brother, please." After Sun Yixiu got on stage, he immediately put down the trident again, and then he bowed his hand naked and bowed to the other party.
Li was originally confused about his opponent's strength and was under pressure. Now, when he saw that the opponent was leaving his weapons and wanted to fight him empty-handed, he suddenly became even more nervous.
"Please." But he still wanted to call him, Li Yuan immediately replied with a greeting, then took a step back and set off his posture.
Sun Yixi's small eyes narrowed and saw from Li Yuan's expression that the latter felt a little weak. He immediately smiled in his heart, turned sideways, and also made a gesture.
But seeing that Sun Yixi's left foot is in front, his right foot is behind, his toes are stomping on his shoulders, his center of gravity seems to be slightly tilted forward, but he is actually guarding the central axis of his body; his left shoulder is slightly sunken, his left hand is clenched in front of him like a shield, his right shoulder is relaxed, and his right hand is also clenched in his fist. The height of the fist is roughly the same as his chin, and his arm is protected on his chest.
This extremely refined and very common posture in modern mixed martial arts is unique in the world of great martial arts, because this posture is completely different from ancient martial arts based on horse stance from the most basic point.
"Hiss...what's the situation?"
"President Wang, do you think this is it?"
"It's the first time I've seen this...this looks unreasonable."
"Where does it come from nonsense, if you don't stance, you will get the force? Wouldn't this be knocked down by someone?"
Before Sun Yixiu could do anything, he just made a starting move. The martial arts predecessors in the audience began to discuss, especially those masters who were good at fist and palm, which was the same reaction as a group of ancient astronomy enthusiasts who heard the heliocentric theory for the first time.
Li Yuan on the stage couldn't understand it even more. He thought to himself what punch this man surnamed Sun wanted to fight? Are you sure it's not here to make fun of it?
It's really not...
This posture was created by Sun Yixie based on his previous memories of several comics and some fighting competition highlights in another universe, plus some practical exercises.
He found that using this posture as the basic starting posture can better play his "Dragon Dog Fist" that is famous for his strangeness.
It has to be said that although Sun Yixie is not as fast as ordinary people on the road of orthodox learning and hard practice, he is like a genius when he understands himself and opens up evil ways.
The next second, Sun Yixie took the lead in attacking on the ring, as if he was moving in an instant, and he would dodge Li Yuan in front of him.
With the support of internal force, he can jump forward in a strange way that modern MMA fighters cannot do. Not only is he amazing in speed, but his posture can also remain unchanged after moving.
This combination of ancient and modern times, each taking advantage of its own strengths, caught Li Yuan off guard.
Li Yuan was about to punch and respond, but unexpectedly... Sun Yixie's left foot suddenly stepped on one of his feet, and then Sun Yixie's right fist made a jab like lightning and hit Li Yuan in the face.
This is also the experience that Brother Sun got when he was practicing: under this posture, as long as he keeps his toes, shoulders, and eyes at the front, he can step on the toes of the foot and punches.
"Damn?" Li Yuan was stunned after being beaten. Although this punch was not heavy, such a fast attack method was unprecedented in him. There was also the operation of stepping on foot... It was also impossible to see in the orthodox martial arts routine based on horse stance.
Smack
When Li Yuan took action, Sun Yixie had already stopped her feet, turned into a shield with her left forearm, and jumped backwards with the opponent's power to easily resolve the power of Li Yuan's attack and opened the distance again.
Li Yuan's move was already in a hurry, and he was trampled on his feet, and he was punched on his face. The power of the move was only 60% or 70%. Now that being resolved by the other party like this is equivalent to exerting force in vain; but the punch he was hit on his face was still aching, which caused a great psychological blow to him.
"Ha..." After the confrontation, Sun Yixie couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that this opponent had no strength, it seemed that he was too strong.
But his smile quickly disappeared because after the moment just now, Li Yuan was no longer confused. He simply put himself in the position of a "weak" and immediately made up his mind to use his killer weapon.
Thumb...
After a breath, he heard footsteps rising from the ring. Then he saw Li Yuan rushing all his energy into the sky, jumping into the air, and killing Sun Yixi from top to bottom.
The so-called "eight-shaped fist" is based on the five shapes of tiger, crane, dragon, snake, and monkey, and three shapes of swallow, elephant, and rat. The 24th style "has arise from dangers" is the last killing move in this set of fists. Because this move is activated on the premise of "sacrificing oneself", it will generally only be used to fight to the death if you think that your martial arts are not as good as your opponent.
At this moment, Li Yuan planned to drive up and fight with Brother Sun directly.
Unexpectedly, when he was just together, Sun Yixie read from his eyes that this guy was going to be deadly, so at that critical moment, Brother Sun did something that everyone unexpectedly did.
He... actually picked up the trident that had just been thrown on the edge of the ring.
When Li Yuan saw this action, he was fucking shocked, but it was too late and everyone else was in the air. It was impossible to stop the momentum again.
So, during the process of falling, the brother was swept down by Sun Yixi, who had already retreated to the edge of the ring, and fell directly under the ring, and fell down.
Of course, Sun Yixie also kept his hands. When sweeping, he did not use the halberd tip but the halberd face, which was similar to the way he used a fly swatter to pat him. So in the end, Li Yuan lay down for a while after landing, and was not torn apart or broken.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan is no longer able to fight again.
When the host came up to announce the result of this game, many people wanted to call Sun Yixi despicable and shameless, but they thought about it carefully... Sun Yixiu never said that he wanted to compete with the other party empty-handed from the beginning. He just brought the halberd to the stage and placed it on the ground temporarily, but never said that he was not going to use it. It was just that his "pole vault" and his act of putting down the trident at the beginning made everyone, including Li Yuan, misunderstand that he had that plan.
Therefore, although many people think that this guy is a bit disgraceful in winning, they can only admit it, after all, he did not violate the rules.
In this way, Sun Yixie passed the second round with great ease, and he still did not show much of his martial arts, and his strength... was still a mystery.
Chapter completed!
