189 Comba (2/2)
”Brother, don't stop me. My video game addiction is acting up, it's too uncomfortable, and I haven't been sleeping for the past few days. For the sake of my dream of playing PUBG, I've decided to go and try. 10 blows, I should be able to withstand it,” said Liu Tieguo.
Xiao Luo didn't attempt to stop him any further. After hanging out with Liu Tieguo over the last few days, he had found the reason behind Liu Tieguo's aged appearance. Liu Tieguo loved to stay up late to play games and smoke. These were had been his habits for some time now, so naturally, they took a toll on him.
As everyone looked on, Liu Tieguo walked into the ring.
He gave a Buddha-like smile and bowed to Feng Zixiao. ”Instructor Feng, please be kind on me!”
Feng Zixiao returned a smile. ”Sure!”
As soon as he said so, he shifted forward, the balls of his feet gliding over the ring floor and dashed towards Liu Tieguo as swiftly as a gust of wind. His right leg swept across from the trickiest angle imaginable, aiming right at Liu Tieguo's face.
BOOM!
Liu Tieguo didn't even have any time to react. He felt like his face had been struck viciously by a thick metal whip. He spun on the spot, twice, before falling to the ground. His head was rested on the floor, and his ears were ringing. He had lost all sense of direction as his face stung from the searing pain.
WAHH!
Everyone drew in a deep breath. Knocking out someone with a single kick was just unbelievable.
Xiao Luo laughed silently to himself, he had expected this to be the outcome.
”Don't think that this is cruel, Instructor Feng has deliberately let him off easy, but the ruthless criminals you meet in reality will not hold back at all. If you don't want to sacrifice yourself on the job, train properly and learn the skills well,” said Yan Wang beside them with a reprimanding tone.
Inspired by his words, several of the more confident trainees challenged Feng Zixiao, but none of them lasted 10 blows. The one that persevered the longest endured a mere five blows.
After everyone's ambition was humbled, their opinion of Feng Zixiao was one of awe and respect, and they were wary. How could he even be human, he was clearly a machine designed for combat!
”It's too embarrassing, I'm the only one who didn't even last one blow.” Liu Tieguo said dejectedly, holding his hand to his cheek, and still feeling an intense burning sensation.
”It's not embarrassing, there's no point for the pot to call the kettle black, you don't have to feel ashamed because of this.” Xiao Luo spoke up to comfort him.
Liu Tieguo nodded.
”Any more challengers?”
Yan Wang asked loudly as he scanned the crowd with an intense gaze. Whoever caught his gaze quickly lowered their heads. That creature in the ring was a monster, who would dare to go up there?
”This alone is enough to intimidate you all? If so, when you start work and run into fearsome criminals, surely you would pee in your pants out of fright!” Yan Wang's voice was loud, and his cocky words echoed in the gym.
The cops who were practicing boxing and using the various fitness equipment couldn't help but snicker.
