Chapter 10 Confrontation

Chapter 10 Confrontation
When Chen Chuan saw Lu Ke's punch coming, he instinctively put his hands down to block it, but it was actually a feint. Lu Ke quickly hit him with his prepared back hand while moving forward. His movements were connected quickly, and although Chen Chuan leaned back a bit, he was still hit on the jaw guard by the punch and took two steps back.

Lu Ke stopped at this time and asked with concern: "Master Chen, are you okay? I may have hit you too hard."

Chen Chuan looked at him, smiled and said, "It's okay."

Yu Gang crossed his arms and said nothing. He could see through Lu Ke's little thoughts. Actual combat was never a place for reasoning, and this little action was nothing.

Lu Ke came up and tried every means to hit Chen Chuan. Besides the fact that he had always been dissatisfied with Chen Chuan and wanted to vent his anger, he also wanted to anger Chen Chuan for tactical reasons and make the latter unable to remain calm, which would make it much easier to fight him.

But he soon discovered that Chen Chuan was not angry because of being hit, nor was he timid. He was as calm as when he came up just now. This behavior actually made him more cautious.

Chen Chuan had no real fighting experience, so he could only attack according to his own understanding. He recalled what Yu Gang had taught him before, and while guarding against Lu Ke's attack, he slowly approached and constantly used his front hand to test the distance, which could also interfere with the opponent.

After he felt that he was close enough to the right distance, he tried to throw a straight punch, but Lu Ke easily dodged it and also threw a hook in return. Fortunately, he was careful in this regard and used his hands to protect himself in time, so Lu Ke didn't succeed.

Originally, Lu Ke should have taken advantage of the situation to retaliate with a few more punches to gain the upper hand, but instead of doing so, he quickly retreated as if he was afraid of something.

Over the past few days, Lu Ke has come to understand that Chen Chuan's punches and kicks are sometimes light and sometimes heavy. Sometimes they are just average, and sometimes they are very explosive. Not only is the strength great, but the speed is also improved. He really can't figure out the pattern, so he doesn't dare to be hit.

If he didn't come, Chen Chuan would take the initiative to find him.

He tried to get closer and then attack, but Lu Ke's footwork was very nimble, and as soon as he noticed that he was about to attack, he would quickly move away. Sometimes when he felt that he was getting close, he would quickly kick him away, while constantly kicking his legs, and sometimes he would suddenly attack him in the face.

Apart from the first two punches, Lu Ke tried his best to keep a distance between the two of them. Relying on his skilled leg skills and quick movements, he placed Chen Chuan directly at a medium to long distance, making it impossible for the latter to reach him.

His idea was very practical. People who had just started on the road of fighting generally had little physical reserves, especially in fierce confrontations. After shaking for a few minutes in a row, they would be exhausted. There was no need for him to do anything. If he had no physical strength left, he would have more advantages in the next two rounds.

Chen Chuan tried many times but found that he could not launch an effective attack. He knew that this was due to his lack of skills and experience, which led to the current passive situation.

Under normal circumstances, he would lose no matter how he fought.

But he wants to win.

If it was a life-and-death battle, or an entrance exam, he would naturally use his "second self" without hesitation.

But now it's just a confrontation. Simply pursuing a formal victory doesn't make much sense. Instead, it loses the opportunity to train. So he not only has to win, but also has to win without using his second self.

Lu Ke is not without flaws. Although his personal defense is very tight, it lacks sufficient pressure. This gives him the opportunity to think about countermeasures. After observing for a while, he actually found a possible breakthrough point.

Lu Ke had a habit. Whenever he attacked, if he was in the middle of an open space, he would move quickly, but when he was about to get close to a wall or a pillar, he would most likely give him a front kick and kick him away.

In that case, maybe you can give it a try...

Chen Chuan was not in a hurry, nor was he impatient to expose his intentions, but was patiently waiting for an opportunity.

The two chased each other in attack and defense, and two minutes passed quickly, and time gradually approached the end of the first game.

While dodging, Lu Ke observed Chen Chuan. He found that up to now, the latter did not look tired at all, which did not look like a novice at all.

He also reacted. Damn, it's the breathing method!
With the continuous practice of the breathing method, Chen Chuan's physical qualities in all aspects have been greatly improved. Even though he had trained for a long time before, Chen Chuan was still able to catch up with him by relying on this. It is foreseeable that it is only a matter of time before he surpasses him.

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of envy in his heart. Under the influence of this emotion, he slightly lost the calmness he should have had.

Chen Chuan immediately sensed that Lu Ke's mentality seemed to have undergone subtle changes. He didn't know the reason, but he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.

He paid attention to his surroundings, and when Lu Ke approached the wall pillar again, he suddenly rushed forward, and at the same time, with the help of breathing techniques, his abdominal muscles contracted in preparation. He stared at Lu Ke and reached out with his hand!
As expected, Lu Ke kicked towards him, as if it was meant for him, but he caught it. Because he was prepared, although he was kicked in the abdomen, he did not suffer much damage. While retreating backwards with the force, he pulled Lu Ke's heels, trying to make the latter lose his balance.

Lu Ke was startled when his legs were grabbed, but he had some experience after all, and just when Chen Chuan pulled his legs back, he punched Chen Chuan in the face.

Chen Chuan originally wanted to destroy Lu Ke's center of gravity before choosing to strike, but a real confrontation was completely different from sparring, and he had no chance to fully execute the moves, so he was a beat slow, and instead Lu Ke's fist reached him before him. He quickly lowered his head, and let the punch hit the protective gear on his forehead. Although his head shook, it did not cause him any damage.

At this time, he no longer forced the attack. Instead, he clamped one of Lu Ke's legs with his arm and stretched out his lower foot, trying to hook the latter's other supporting leg. Now he had not learned how to attack after falling to the ground, so he assumed that he won once he knocked the man down.

However, he soon discovered that this move was easy to use during sparring, but in actual practice, the pulling between their limbs caused a lot of bumps in the road. After stretching out his foot, it was still a little short of Lu Ke's heel, just touching it a little bit. However, Lu Ke was still startled and instinctively jumped back on one leg to avoid being tripped.

However, this jump created a pause, and Chen Chuan felt that the force against his body suddenly weakened, so he stepped forward without thinking and used a palm strike from the Da San Shou technique!
This was a move that struck the opponent from bottom to top with the base of the palm. It went directly through the gap between Lu Ke's hands and hit the latter's chin.

After receiving this heavy blow, Lu Ke's head tilted back immediately. Even with the jaw guard, he felt dizzy and staggered.

"stop!"

Yu Gang spoke at this time.

When Chen Chuan heard the sound, he stopped immediately. Lu Ke stepped back. He shook his head and put his hands on the pillar. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Yu Gang waited there until Lu Ke recovered before calling the two of them over again.

He looked at Lu Ke first and commented, "You obviously have better skills and experience than Chen Chuan, but after you hit Chen Chuan at the beginning, you thought you had the upper hand. Later, you were afraid of being hit by him, so you kept dodging, hoping to wear down Chen Chuan's physical strength. Whether your idea was right or not is not the right one, but you only made a few moves, without any real or fake changes. I'm not surprised at all that you were caught. Fortunately, Chen Chuan didn't know how to use "regular free-hand fighting" and was wearing gloves, otherwise you can imagine what the consequences would be."

Lu Ke's expression changed slightly.

In "Regular Freehand", the Pan Tou Palm is most often followed by the Tearing Curtain Hand. After hitting the enemy, the five fingers will take advantage of the situation to tear off the enemy's skin or simply break the throat. This is a very brutal move. Although Yu Gang did not teach him, he knew it.

Yu Gang looked at Chen Chuan again and said, "Chen Chuan, when you two were greeting each other at the beginning, with the positions of the two of you, Lu Ke's first punch could not hit you anyway. Defense was unnecessary, which gave Lu Ke the opportunity later. This is because of your lack of experience, but also because you did not observe the venue carefully. You must learn from this lesson and at least make good judgments on distance in the future."

Chen Chuan nodded and accepted it humbly.

Yu Gang continued, "But I also want to praise you. Even though you suffered a loss at the beginning, you never gave up looking for opportunities and were very active. The most important thing is that you still won, so I give you two points for the first game."
