Martial artists seem to be advocating a form of learning called "realization" or "epiphany" that is completely unreadable. It seems that what you have figured out and figured out will be far more useful than the experience accumulated over time and the knowledge you have learned over time. This is completely incomprehensible to Merlin, a scholar who relies on accumulation to learn.

But Ah Jiu seems to have really suddenly opened his mind, since he said that he didn't need to continue to accept and could directly start the battle course, Ah Jiu's learning progress has improved by leaps and bounds, and it can really be described as a thousand miles a day. Not only did he quickly, comprehensively, and systematically adopt the rules and modes of Pokémon battles, but he also quickly incorporated them into the experience and vision that a fighter had accumulated over a long period of time, and quickly formed a considerable and feasible fighting style.

This was definitely unexpected by Merlin.

In the next few days, Merlin used a lot of actual combat to teach Ah Jiu how to deal with Pokémon with different attributes, and even in order to expand the team, he also brought in Duowu, who temporarily lived in the Pokémon Center and all actions were closely monitored by Junsha Naoko.

In just a few days, the old man Ah Jiu has grown from an older novice who has no entry at all to an excellent trainer who probably has an intermediate level. This rocket-like upgrade speed surprised Merlin, surprised Tawu, and stunned Junsha Naoko, who knew the roots of Ah Jiu. By the way, Miss Junsha came to the gym to monitor Merlin and Tawu's behavior nearby.

"Uncle Ah Jiu, this ...... This ......" After another actual combat exercise, Junsha Naoko, who had witnessed the whole battle, stammered and sighed, "This, is this really you?" You're so powerful!? Oh, my God! Oh, my God! She cheered for a while, and then suddenly her face changed, "No, you must be someone else's fake!" Say, what is the purpose of you infiltrating my sweet wheat town in disguise!! ”

The three of them, who had long been accustomed to Junsha's startled personality, all ignored Naoko's threat of jumping on the side.

"Mr. Ah Jiu, your progress is indeed great." Tawu also praised from the side, "From the original clumsiness to the current ease, your progress speed is a miracle." ”

Ah Jiu implicitly accepted Tawu's praise, but there was no trace of complacency. Instead, he turned his gaze to Merlin, on the other side of the field, waiting for the post-war summary of Merlin's routine.

"I'm not familiar with martial arts...... Whether it's a human fighting or a fighting Pokémon, it's completely new to me. Merlin organized his words, "So, I can't make the most intuitive and accurate assessment of your rank. However, I believe that all you lack right now is combat experience with all kinds of Pokémon and all kinds of trainers...... On top of that, you're already a qualified martial arts trainer...... As for whether or not he is a competent hall owner, I am not an official of the Alliance, so I cannot comment. But I also believe that you have the strength and confidence to continue to operate the gym......"

Ah Jiu finally showed a hint of joy on his face.

"Like I said earlier, what you lack is experience, experience with all kinds of trainers, with all kinds of Pokémon...... And I can't teach you anymore......" He bowed slightly to Ah Jiu, "In the past few days, the kid has brazenly pretended to be a 'teacher', and I ask for your forgiveness for any conflicts and offenses in words and deeds......"

"No, thanks to Merlin-kun's guidance during this time...... Ah Jiu hurriedly said, "You, no, you are definitely qualified to be Ah Jiu's teacher." As the old saying goes, 'the master is the teacher', and age and realm are completely irrelevant......"

"Hey, hurry up and prove to me that you are Uncle Ah Jiu." Unwilling to be ignored by the three of them, Junsha Naoko jumped to her feet and shouted: "Hurry up and prove it to me, or I will handcuff you and arrest you and put you in prison!" ”

After guiding Ah Jiu to the path of a trainer, Merlin wanted to retire and left early. But Ah Jiu naturally refused to let Merlin, who had the grace of teaching him, leave so simply, and he tried hard to keep Merlin, but finally dragged Merlin's footsteps.

And although Merlin was not very interested in the reward that Ah Jiu had in his mouth, would there be much savings in the Daoist Pavilion that had been dilapidated to such an appearance? But he couldn't resist Ah Jiu's insistence, so he had to temporarily obey Ah Jiu's wishes.

"Merlin-kun ......"

In a relatively clean small dojo in the gym, Ah Jiu and Merlin knelt face to face and sat at opposite ends of the desk, Ah Jiu said to Merlin in a low voice: "You are very kind to Ah Jiu and the Mancang Dao Pavilion, Ah Jiu really doesn't know how to repay one or two." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Merlin hurriedly excused himself, "The assessment of the alliance has not yet passed, and now seems to be the best time to say thank you, right?" If Mr. Ah Jiu can successfully cope with the assessment of the alliance, I think it would be more appropriate to thank him at that time, right? ”

"No, no......" Ah Jiu hurriedly bowed down and waved his hand, "If it weren't for Merlin-kun to lead me to the path of a trainer, what qualifications would I have to deal with the alliance's assessment?" So, please don't shirk again...... At least, after you know how to repay your kindness, it's not too late for you to choose to resign. ”

Ah Jiu blinked his eyes and looked at Merlin, but it made Merlin embarrassed to continue to be hypocritical.

"Merlin-kun, after a few days of contact, I have discovered a unique feature of yours." Ah Jiu looked directly at Merlin and said, "Your muscle mass and your body strength don't seem to be in the same proportion as a normal human being......"

Merlin was stunned.

"Well, let's put it this way, according to your current physical strength level, if you compare it with a normal person, then his muscle mass should already be considerable, at least it can be called relatively strong and strong. But you, just have a general body outline, and you're still very thin. ”

Merlin's brow furrowed. Since Mr. Zang's long-term mandatory exercise, although his body shape has not changed much, his basic physical data such as strength and speed have really improved a lot. As Ah Jiu said, his still thin, thin and short body already contained a huge amount of power far beyond the surface of his body. Mei Lin didn't pay too much attention to his difference before, but compared to Duowu, and after Ah Jiu directly pointed it out this time, he suddenly realized that it seemed that he was really unique. That blames his biological mother...... Alas, not to mention her......

Ah Jiu continued: "Although I don't know how this unique body of yours works, I don't know if it has a limit in strength or size. However, your unique body shape allows you to play to a huge advantage in combat or combat. Your size is so deceptive that even the most sophisticated martial artists will look at your power level and become unguarded. And once you can seize this opportunity, you can get close to ...... So, hehe...... "Ah Jiu laughed a few times.

Only then did Merlin realize that this old man also had a bit of a cunning essence hidden.

Merlin has actually been using his short, thin, and sickly body features to disguise and deceive, otherwise he wouldn't have been so easy to "cheat" from roadside trainers to get lucrative bets. However, Merlin really didn't think of using his body shape to carry out a close-quarters deception raid. He is a superpower, and he is more accustomed to using superpowers to solve problems from a distance and cleanly. However, it seems that it would be nice to add a way to fight......

Merlin was planning in his mind how to use his body shape to achieve the purpose of a close-quarters sneak attack, and Ah Jiu spoke again.

"Moreover, after getting along with each other during this time, I also found that you have a good medical foundation, whether it is ancient medical skills or modern medical skills, you have good knowledge reserves and practical experience......

Merlin nodded. After the actual combat in the past few days, Merlin quickly cured his partner and Ah Jiu's three fighting systems with his medical skills and Nightingale's medical ability. Therefore, it is not unusual for Ah Jiu to see that he has medical skills.

"Combined with your special body shape, with your medical skills. I've got a set of martial arts here that should suit you perfectly. Whether it is used to strengthen the body, or to master more than one skill, or even as an emergency means in an emergency, it must be very suitable for ......"

Merlin's eyes immediately sparkled when he looked at Ah Jiu.

"If you have enough knowledge of ancient medicine, then you must also know that in ancient medicine, there are concepts of 'meridians', 'pulses', 'tendons', and 'acupoints'. For doctors, the corresponding position can be stimulated by external forces, including pressing, kneading, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc., so as to clear congestion or stimulate the body's Yuan Force and Yuan Qi to speed up the self-healing of diseases and injuries. External stimulation in some special locations can make some limbs weak, numb or even necrotic......"

"Healers use these positions to help heal, and for us warriors, these special positions are used by us to help in battles. We can temporarily increase our strength or reaction speed by stimulating some special 'acupoints' of our own body, or even paralyze and abandon some of the pain. At the same time, we can also stimulate the opponent's 'acupoints' through techniques, strength and techniques, so that the opponent is paralyzed, weak, muscles are sore, muscles and veins are blocked, or the flow of qi and blood is blocked, or even death......"

Ah Jiuyue said, Merlin's eyes sparkled more and more. He had already decided to accept Ah Jiu's thank you gift and learn this kind of martial arts that was very suitable for him.

"Some ninjutsu of ninjas are also based on this self-stimulation of the 'acupoints' or stimulation of the other party. And the set of techniques I'm going to teach you is probably some fragmented hand-to-hand combat techniques born from a certain school of ninjutsu that has been annihilated. These techniques have been acquired by accident by the elders of my family for generations, and although the elders of my family have not actually practiced them, they have all studied, expanded, and revised them to varying degrees. At present, these techniques have developed into a system of their own, which is a complete set of hand-to-hand combat skills. It includes joint grappling, dismantling, 'pointing' on oneself and against the enemy, tendon breaking, bone breaking, and one-hit killing......"

Merlin's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes involuntarily showed a look of covetousness.

"However, although this set of fighting skills is relatively suitable for you, it has high requirements for the user's speed and strength, especially for instantaneous explosiveness...... "The old man pondered for a while, "I can start teaching you this set of fighting skills now, but if you want to bring out the maximum strength and full effect of this set of fighting skills, I'm afraid you will need to spend a lot of time on tempering." Martial arts practice is not something that can be achieved overnight, it takes time to polish it slowly. ”

Merlin's face immediately became a little depressed when he heard this. But in an instant, he was relieved. This kind of fighting skill, if learned, can only be regarded as an emergency means for him, which can be used to surprise the Yin Man, or to use it in special environments with huge restrictions on superpowers. But no matter what, this grappling technique won't be his primary tool. So it doesn't have to be perfect.

"Then now, Merlin-kun......" Ah Jiu stood up and bowed deeply to Merlin, "Let me teach you this set of family heirlooms of 'selflessness and one-heart'......"

Merlin hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Ah Jiu.
