This competition was the first time that Sun Yixie fought in front of his fellow martial artists. Due to the various rumors he had created before and his strength that had always remained a mystery, this competition undoubtedly became the focus of the second round.
Brother Sun himself was not under any pressure, but his opponent was under a lot of pressure. After all, he was unsure...
The opponent he was fighting this round was named Li Yuan, and he was the twelfth generation disciple of the Iron Fist Sect.
The Iron Fist Sect is considered to be a relatively moderate sect in today's martial arts world. Its first generation master came out of Shaolin and was originally a lay disciple of Songshan Shaolin. Later, he broke through the Tongren Formation and went down the mountain to explore the world on his own. A few years later, he , realized a set of twenty-four "Eight-shaped Boxing" based on Shaolin's Five-shaped Boxing, and then established his own school and taught disciples.
To this day, the Iron Fist Sect has a history of nearly a hundred years.
Among the twelve generations of disciples, Li Yuan was undoubtedly more talented and the best in martial arts; however, his days of practicing martial arts were relatively short. He did not start practicing martial arts until he was eleven years old, so he has only practiced martial arts until this year. Just seven years.
In other words, assuming that he began to generate internal strength about a year and a half from the year he started practicing martial arts, then in terms of skill alone, Li Yuan is really not as strong as Sun Yixie.
Because the "Five Years of Internal Power" that Sun Yixie obtained in vain before came from Tie Monk Yihuai, which is a very pure orthodox internal power of Zen Buddhism. With the addition of his "Reverse the Universe Mind Technique", it was actually exerted. The power is definitely much stronger than the five years of initial training of ordinary young people.
If you still don’t understand, let me summarize it using the concept I mentioned earlier – Brother Sun’s internal strength is of high “purity”.
Of course, martial arts competition is not just a competition of internal strength, moves are also very important.
In "The Swordsman", the opponents Linghu Chong encountered were basically better than him in internal strength, but he could often defeat the strong with the Dugu Nine Swords, because in that world, the Dugu Nine Swords were in the "sword realm" The final answer is to "win with no moves but one move" and become invincible in terms of moves.
Looking at the competition between Li Yuan and Sun Yixie, although Li Yuan suffered a slight loss in terms of internal strength, as long as he had an advantage in moves, he still had a chance of winning.
"In this match, Iron Fist Li Yuan will face Hangzhou Sun Yixie."
With the host's announcement, the competition is about to begin.
Li Yuan, a young man, has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His appearance makes him look energetic. Today, he is dressed in a white outfit with a red belt around his waist. Someone called his name, and he immediately stepped forward, stepped on the ground, and flew onto the ring.
On the other side, when Sun Yixie, who was slumped on the "recliner", heard someone calling him to come on 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 off some amazing lightness skills, they saw... this guy trotted forward two steps, pushed his trident to the ground bit by bit, and made a "pole vault" movement. Reluctantly, he swung from his original position to the ring with the support of the trident.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers in the martial arts world showed doubts, and they couldn't figure out whether he was deliberately hiding his strength or pretending to be crazy.
However, Shen Youran's expression at the judging table did not change - he firmly believed that Sun Yixie was hiding his strength.
The reason why Master Shen had this misunderstanding was that Sun Yixie had already told him before, "My little brother, I once received guidance from Tie Monk Yihuai in a mountain temple, and I was fortunate enough to be taught a few things by my seniors." Years of skill”.
Naturally, this statement was discussed in advance by Sun and Huang, and the content was half true and half false. Through this ambiguous description, in addition to explaining the sudden increase in inner strength in Sun Yixie for several years, it can also explain the future of Sun Yixie. All the martial arts moves used by Xie were said to have been taught by Yi Huai, in order to cover up the fact that Sun Clan had other martial arts secrets... Anyway, as long as Shen Youran could not see Yi Huai himself, there was no way to verify their claims.
"Brother, please." After Sun Yixie stepped onto the stage, he immediately put down the trident, then cupped his fists with his bare hands and saluted the opponent.
Li was originally confused and stressed about his opponent's strength, but now he saw that the opponent had abandoned his weapon and wanted to fight him with bare hands, and he suddenly became even more nervous.
"Please." But the greeting still had to be said, and Li Yuan immediately returned the greeting, then took a half step back and took a stance.
Sun Yixie's small eyes narrowed and he could tell from Li Yuan's expression that the latter was feeling a little guilty. He immediately smiled in his heart, turned sideways, and took a stance.
But see, Sun Yixie's left foot is in front, his right foot is behind him, and his toes are slightly forward on his shoulders. His center of gravity seems to be slightly tilted forward, but in fact it is on the central axis of his body; his left shoulder is slightly sunk, and his left hand is holding a fist as if holding a shield. Place it in front of you, relax your right shoulder, make a fist with your right hand, the height of the fist is roughly the same as your chin, and protect your chest with your arm.
This extremely refined posture, which is very common in modern mixed martial arts, is unique in Dashu Wulin, because this posture is completely different from the ancient martial arts based on horse stance from the most basic point of view.
"Hiss... what kind of posture is this?"
"Master Wang, what do you think this is?"
"This is also the first time I've seen...this...it doesn't make sense."
"It's nonsense. If you don't step on your horse, where will your strength come from? Isn't it like being knocked down by one blow?"
Sun Yixie hadn't made a move yet, he just made a hand gesture, and the martial arts seniors in the audience began to talk about it, especially the masters who were good at fists, and a group of astronomy enthusiasts in ancient times heard about it for the first time. Same reaction as heliocentrism.
Li Yuan on the stage couldn't understand it even more, wondering what kind of punch this guy surnamed Sun was going to throw? Are you sure you're not trying to be funny?
It’s really not...
This posture was figured out by Sun Yixie based on his memory of several comics and some fighting competition highlights from another universe, plus some practical practice.
He found that by using this posture as the basic starting position, he could make better use of his unique "Dragon Dog Boxing".
It has to be said that although Sun Yixie is not as fast as ordinary people on the path of orthodox learning and hard training, when it comes to using his own understanding to open up crooked ways... he is like a genius.
The next second, on the stage, Sun Yixie took the lead in attacking. As if teleporting, he stepped in front of Li Yuan in a flash.
With the support of internal strength, he can leap forward in a strange way that even modern mixed martial artists cannot do. Not only is his speed amazing, but his posture remains unchanged after moving.
This strange combination of ancient and modern times, each taking advantage of its own strengths, caught Li Yuan off guard.
Li Yuan just wanted to punch in response, but unexpectedly... the toe of Sun Yixie's left foot suddenly stepped on one of his feet, and then Sun Yixie's right fist struck Li Yuan with a jab like lightning. Face door.
This is also the experience that Brother Sun gained during his own practice: in this posture, as long as the toes, shoulders, and eyes are kept in line, then the toe of the front foot can touch the place, and the punch will be hit.
"What the hell?" Li Yuan was stunned after being beaten. Although the punch was not heavy, he had never seen such a fast strike before. There was also the operation of stepping on the foot... which was also based on the horse step. Something you can’t see in orthodox martial arts routines.
Snapped--
When Li Yuan's move was released, Sun Yixie had already taken advantage of the situation and used his left forearm to turn into a shield. He used the opponent's strength to jump in the opposite direction, easily neutralizing the force of Li Yuan's attack and opening the ball again. distance.
Li Yuan's move was rushed. In addition, he was stepped on his feet and punched in the face. The power of the move was only 60-70% when it was executed. Now that it was neutralized by the opponent, it was like using all his strength in vain. ; And the punch he received on his face was still aching, which gave him a huge psychological blow.
"Haha..." After the exchange of moves, Sun Yixie couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that his opponent didn't have much strength either. It seemed that he was too strong.
But his smile quickly disappeared, because after that moment, 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 own strength. trump card.
Thump thump thump…
After a breath, a burst of footsteps was heard from the ring. Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan gathered all his energy, jumped into the sky, came into the air, and threw himself diagonally towards Sun Yixie from top to bottom. Kill and go.
The so-called "Eight-Shaped Boxing" is based on the five shapes of tiger, crane, dragon, snake, and monkey, and adds three shapes of swallow, elephant, and rat. Among them, the twenty-fourth style "dangerous images appear repeatedly." This is the last killing move in this set of fists. Because this move is based on the premise of "sacrifice one's life", it is usually only used when one thinks one's martial arts skills are not as good as the opponent's.
At this moment, Li Yuan planned to directly drive up and compete with Brother Sun.
Unexpectedly, when he first started to gain momentum, Sun Yixie could read in his eyes that this guy was going to risk his life, so at that critical moment, Brother Sun did something that everyone expected.
He... actually picked up the trident that he had just thrown away from the edge of the ring.
When he saw this move, Li Yuan was fucking shocked, but it was too late, everyone else was already in the air, and it was impossible to stop the momentum.
As a result, in the process of falling, this brother was swept down by Sun Yixie who had retreated to the edge of the ring. He fell directly to the bottom of the ring and fell on his back.
Of course, Sun Yixie also kept his hands free. When sweeping, he did not use the blade of the halberd but the face of the halberd, which was similar to swatting with a fly swatter. So in the end, Li Yuan just lay down for a while after landing and did not The flesh was torn or the bones were broken.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan no longer has the strength to fight again.
When the host came up to announce the result of the game, many people wanted to scold Sun Yixie for being despicable and shameless, but when they thought about it carefully... Sun Yixie seemed to have never said from the beginning that he wanted to compete with the opponent empty-handed. He just said After bringing the trident to the stage, he temporarily placed it on the ground, but he never said that he was not going to use it. However, his initial move of "pole vaulting" and putting down the trident made everyone, including Li Yuan, stunned. I just misunderstood that he had that plan.
Therefore, although many people think that this guy's victory is a bit disgraceful, they can only admit it. After all, he did not violate the rules.
In this way, Sun Yixie passed the second round quite easily, and he still didn't show much of his martial arts, and his strength... was still a mystery.
