Chapter 74 Recognizing a Cheap Master for Nothing
Ten days later, in late September.
The magic city, the underground fighting arena, is full of voices.
The cheers and applause from the audience all around were so loud that people thought they were in the middle of a hail of bullets.
Of course, there are also curses and boos, these are people who bet on losing money.
On the No. 5 fighting stage, two figures are fighting.
"Oh!"
A young man moved half a step to one side, avoiding the opponent's moves, then dodged to pursue him, and punched the enemy's back.
With a crackling sound, the fist hit the protruding cone on the opponent's neck, and the force of the punch directly shattered this piece of bone.
The opponent's neck hurt, and then he fell forward and completely lost consciousness.
Lei Yi glanced at the fallen opponent, his face was flat, without the slightest fluctuation.
A few minutes later, he returned to the lounge, where Xuan Wuyan was already waiting.
"Master, this is the third opponent today, how is my fight?" Seeing the latter, Lei Yi immediately clasped his fists and asked for instructions.
His demeanor has the attitude of an ancient warrior, which is incompatible with modern academy warriors.
Of course, this was the result of his discussion with Xuan Wuyan.
A few days ago, Lei Yi found Xuan Wuyan again, and proposed to go to the underground arena for training.
But this time, Xuan Wuyan did not immediately agree to Lei Yi's request, instead she took him to the simulation room again.
This is the residence of Xuan Wuyan and Zhao Tiejiang in the magical capital of Wuda. Although they could live in the faculty area, they chose to live here.
But that's not the point, the point is that Xuan Wuyan actually asked Lei Yi to worship her as his teacher.
Whether Lei Yi is a good apprentice, Xuan Wuyan doesn't know.
But a certain person is indeed a good seedling of martial arts, at least in terms of boxing practice, he is indeed qualified.
This is one of the reasons why Xuan Wuyan accepted Lei Yi as his apprentice, as for the other reasons, Xuan Wuyan did not mention it.
Lei Yi actually refused at first, after all, he is a student of martial arts and also has a mentor.
But Xuan Wuyan said that the two of them don't need to be called master and apprentice, they can just be the same as usual, and they can just be ordinary friends in front of people.
And Lei Yi was also a little curious about Xuan Wuyan's strength, and after weighing the pros and cons, he agreed.
After that, Xuan Wuyan brought Lei Yi to the underground arena again, and only then did he ask for instructions just now.
"You fought well, your moves were decisive, your strikes were ruthless, and you already had a vicious force when you shot, at least you won't suffer a loss when you compete with anyone. But that kind of ruthlessness is only suitable for life-and-death fights. If you want to play with others If you are at home, you have to control it!"
Xuan Wuyan praised first, and then joked.
The "playing house" in this woman's mouth refers to the so-called sparring of some warriors.
This kind of sparring should not hurt people, and there must be etiquette between each other, so far as it is particular, in Xuan Wuyan's view, it is like a child's play.
Lei Yi got along with the other party for a few days and understood what this woman was thinking.
In the martial arts competition, the emphasis is on defeating the enemy and defeating or even killing the opponent in the most efficient and fastest way.
In Xuan Wuyan's eyes, the so-called sparring with many rules is a waste of time acting.
Of course, this is also the rule of the underground arena.
Here, fighting is all about efficiency, kill opponents with the least cost, save energy, participate in as many competitions as possible, and get as high a bonus as possible.
So this is also the reason why those warriors steal and play tricks and cheat secretly.
"The opponent in the next round is a strong man in the middle stage of Qi and blood realm. He has opened up nine meridians in his body. Do you want to challenge it?" Xuan Wuyan looked at the roster in his hand and said calmly.
"Of course, I didn't waste much energy in the first few games, and I'm waiting for this last opponent!" Lei Yi didn't have the slightest fear,
I chose to fight.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xuan Wuyan's mouth, and she greeted a staff member, and immediately went to arrange the next competition.
Fighting platform No. 4.
"Standing on the arena is the strongest of the first-order warriors in our underground arena, Mantis!"
The narrator introduced one of his contestants, who was Lei Yi's opponent, a thin, long-haired man with a long pointed chin.
This person looks a little enchanting, but from time to time there will be a cold light in his eyes, and he is not a good person at first glance.
"Next, the challenger will take the stage, and this person is no stranger to everyone. He is a rising star in our arena. He has no defeats since the beginning of the challenge, Ergou!"
Under the introduction of the narrator, Lei Yi slowly stepped onto the stage.
Although the title "Ergou" is very offensive, but a certain person has already tempered his face, so he is naturally unmoved.
"Hehehe, it looks like I'm going to kill a dog today!" Mantis said in a shrill tone, with a strange air of yin and yang.
Lei Yi has experienced strong winds and waves long ago, so naturally he would not get angry because of this provocation, and calmly walked to the center of the fighting stage.
The two moved their limbs a little and got ready.
"The competition begins!" As the commentator shouted, the two began to act.
Lei Yi did not take the lead in attacking, but chose to stand still.
One is because he has never seen the opponent's action pattern, and he doesn't know what killer move the opponent has, so it is easy to suffer a loss if he acts rashly.
The second is that the opponent is a mid-stage qi and blood realm expert who has opened up nine meridians, and his qi and blood are stronger than him. If he really wants to fight hard, the opponent has the upper hand.
He chose to be more prudent. If the enemy does not move, he will not move.
But Lei Yi didn't move, but the mantis moved.
He raises his hands, swings them forward, bends his index finger downwards, and makes a hook, and at the same time, his body falls to one side. This is the starting posture of Mantis Boxing.
"Martial Daoist!" Seeing the opponent's posture, Lei Yi knew that the opponent this time was completely different from before.
But this is good news, because the opponent is a Martial Daoist, and what he puts on is also the posture of a Martial Artist, not a swindler.
"Boy, come on!" The shrill voice of the mantis sounded, and at the same time, it was sprinting forward, and its hands were continuously swinging like windmills.
Mantis's moves are very fast, when the hands are swinging rapidly, the two index fingers are like iron hooks, bringing strong winds one after another.
"The style of Mantis Boxing is fast, fierce moves, and the opponent's energy and blood are more abundant than mine, choosing to avoid it is the worst policy!"
Lei Yi stared at the opponent's feet. When telling him to sprint, the mantis walked very fast, swinging his legs back and forth, switching extremely frequently.
This is to prevent the opponent from dodging, so the small steps are obviously ready to change direction.
Lei Yi saw this, so he chose to fight head-on.
The offensive of Mantis Fist is fierce, but as long as you find the right attack trajectory, how can the opponent's fingers beat the fist.
Lei Yi held his breath, and when he was half a meter away from the mantis, he saw the trajectory of the opponent's move and blasted a cannon punch.
Seeing this, the praying mantis on the opposite side raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and the offensive with both hands continued to attack forward with his index finger.
laugh!
The sound of blood piercing sounded, and there was a sharp pain on Lei Yi's right hand.
"How could it be!" He looked down, and saw a blood hole was opened in his fist, and the fingers of the praying mantis pierced through his fist.
Then his chest was hit by the opponent's left hand, which also made a blood hole.
Under the attack, Lei Yi retreated violently, and only after taking five or six steps away did he start to size up the opponent.
"Your fingers are also made of iron!" He took a closer look, only to find that the skin on the opponent's two index fingers was a little damaged, revealing the metallic luster inside.
"Hehehe, that's right, you actually discovered it." The mantis smiled sinisterly again, and then said proudly: "My fingers are prosthetics made of alloy steel, not to mention your skin, even steel plates can be opened A hole!"
After all, the mantis was also unequivocal, and once again put on a stance, chasing after him, without giving Lei Yi any time to breathe.
"I thought I met someone who was not good at it!"
Lei Yi was a little speechless. Doesn't anyone in this underground arena obey the rules like him? They are all crooked.
But he didn't dare to think wildly. After suppressing those thoughts, he thought hard about the strategy against the enemy.
"The Mantis Boxing is aggressive and has tricky angles. There are hook, floor, picking, hanging, sticking, sticking, sticking, leaning, tricky, advancing, collapsing, and twelve-character tactics. The techniques are rich and changeable. My right hand has been injured. , how to defend?"
Lei Yi looked at the opponent's movements, focusing on the opponent's feet.
"The pace of the mantis is wrong!" He discovered a weakness of the other party.
The opponent in front of him may be relying on dexterity and the sharpness of his fingers, but he has neglected boxing skills, especially footwork.
The walking speed of the praying mantis is very fast, but the pace is definitely not one of its most proficient, and this is the flaw.
Seeing this, Lei Yi felt ruthless in his heart, squatted down on the spot, and then flew forward like a toad.
Of course, he didn't practice any toad kung fu, he just lowered his center of gravity and body position.
Seeing this, the mantis stopped sprinting, straightened the index fingers of both hands, and stabbed at Lei Yi who was sprinting forward, aiming at his head.
At this moment, Lei Yi put his hands on the ground, turned his body sideways, and hit the feet of the mantis with a sweeping kick.
"What!" Seeing this, the latter stepped back instinctively. While avoiding this move, the attacking move was also canceled.
When he was about to gather his strength to launch an attack again, he saw a figure suddenly jumped up from the ground in front of him and rushed towards him.
"You're courting death!" Mantis uttered a sharp cry, and pointed forward with both index fingers before its body had adjusted its balance.
But at this moment, Lei Yi showed a smile, his left and right hands loosened and turned into palms, and when the index finger of the mantis was about to hit him, the two hand knives chopped on both sides of the opponent's index finger.
There were two consecutive crackling sounds, and the mantis' metal fingers were severed by two hand knives.
"You..." Seeing this, Mantis was shocked.
But the next moment, he was hit by two uppercuts on the chin, and his whole body flew backwards, with blood bursting from his mouth.
When he fell heavily to the ground, starry eyes flashed, and there was severe pain in his chin.
But just when he regained consciousness, he saw a figure standing in front of him.
"Young man, I have something to say..." Mantis waved his hand and begged for mercy.
"The master told me that there will be no mercy to the enemy!"
As if Lei Yi didn't hear the other party's begging for mercy, he punched the other party's face with a fist.
boom!
When the mantis was hit, its limbs twitched violently, but then it immediately went limp.
At the end of the competition, Lei Yi won and Mantis was killed.
