Chapter 22: Mixed Martial Arts
Pure Shield, MMA Club.
Situated on a floating island in the Eastern College District, the club is an expansive stadium-style building with the main building and the rear façade. Supported by a ring-like horizontal metal frame, it looks like a giant iron furnace. Its grey-white mineral-like façade is clad in transparent membrane material and contains a hollow cylindrical lifting platform.
At the bottom end is a wide and thick foundation, with large steps and large platforms in front of the front entrance, and the whole is a cylinder-in-tube structure made of hard concrete. In the middle of the "Iron Furnace" is a vaulted hall about 30 meters high and about 60 meters overarched, with black and white marble on the walls, and a dark building with a vaulted roof on all sides.
Walk through the tree-lined avenue in front of you and enter the foyer, where you will be greeted by a huge space of more than 1,000 square meters.
On both sides of the front of the hall hang oil paintings in turn, all of which are portraits of past martial arts champions, and the bottom is also marked with personal achievements and exploits, which makes people's blood boil when they look at it.
In particular, the feats of several outstanding champions who broke through the limits of the human body and shone at the Federal Home Star Games were hung alone at the top of the foyer. The champions' high-spirited demeanor has been vividly portrayed by the artist's wonderful pen, the rigid muscle lines and the resolute face, and another passionate and heroic feeling leaps on the paper.
The floor is covered with thick hardwood floors, and there is a variety of workout equipment.
During this time period, some sturdy young men in elastic vests are sweating and kicking sandbags, repeatedly practicing the movements of martial arts skills. Beside them, young men in red turbans walked around from time to time, occasionally correcting the irregularities of these people's movements. Further inside, a layer of non-slip cushions was laid near the corner, and dozens of young trainees, two by two, gathered together, were practicing their fighting skills with each other.
"Junior, since you have become a new member of our club, there are some rules that must be told to you. ”
Karenz strolled around the club's practice field with Evan on his shoulders, occasionally scanning left and right with a critical gaze, pointing out the mistakes of some rookie players — he was still wearing the same black stretch tank top on top, camouflage pants rolled up on the bottom, and a pair of big feet bare.
“......”
Evan followed him, his eyes on the northeast corner of the field, where several members of the team who had made mistakes were being punished—they were stretching their arms outstretched, holding two gravity dumbbells in their hands, and they were half-crouching on the ground sweating like rain.
"First of all, our club's purpose is to push the limits of the human body, and the process can be very hard and even painful, and I hope you can persevere. Secondly, although our club has free access to the club, we don't like traitors, and if we leave the club without permission, we will be punished with three knives and six holes. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head, his eyes were covered with the shadow of bangs, and he showed a seemingly kind smile: "Junior brother, I have a very accurate vision of people, as long as you resist the torment of training, you will definitely become the new champion!"
"These words speak so smoothly...... He must have said ...... to every new member of the Ministry."
Evan complained silently in his heart, raised his head and found that his eyes were not good, and quickly replied: "I am indeed very interested in mixed martial arts skills, and I will not be a traitor, so there is no need to mention three knives and six holes......"
This is the truth in his heart, although the Federation does not pay much attention to the exploration of physical fitness, but mechanic combat is definitely inevitable white-knuckle combat. So it stands to reason that with the support of big data, the accumulation of their fighting skills must be very strong.
"Hahaha! The junior brother really has a vision!"
Karenz laughed loudly, stopped in front of the door of an alloy room, approached the scanner and swept the pupil lines, and beckoned Ivan to follow:
"Come with me and see our club's technical reserves, which will surely blow your mind. ”
The silver-white alloy spring door popped open, and the two walked into the room one after the other, and the alloy door quickly closed automatically.
......
"Noah, start the mixed martial arts drill program. ”
After Karenz entered the voice command, the light in the empty room dimmed slightly, and at this moment, Ivan suddenly felt a tingling sensation of electricity passing through his body.
This room is made entirely of metal, and when a high-voltage current enters the space, the entire room becomes a high-voltage zone, and you can imagine how amazing the current is pouring in.
Woohoo – Whoop——!
Immediately after that, a chaotic burst of light and shadow flashed in the space, and finally condensed into a human form, which was similar to the dress of Kalenz, with a red turban on its head, a black elastic vest, camouflage trousers and a pair of long military boots underneath. The facial features are resolute, the aura is powerful, and there is an invisible majesty standing there, and Ivan takes a closer look, and it is a certain champion on the previous oil paintings.
"His name is Yves, the founder and martyr of mixed martial arts, a man who has defeated his fellow mechanics in flesh and blood. Before him, the Federation's fighting techniques were numerous and varied, and each civilization had its own fighting skills, among which various sects were self-contained......"
Karenz stared at the projection in the space, his eyes solemn, and he calmly said:
“...... Dissatisfied with the chaos of martial arts, Master Yves and his friends devoted their lives to traveling to and from various planets in the federal territory, using enthusiasm and energy beyond the imagination of ordinary people to summarize and sort out the techniques of various civilizations and schools, discarding their specific forms, and finally finding out the common laws, that is, by regularizing all the fighting techniques in the Federation, and finally summing up their basic forms of movement. This is the origin of mixed martial arts, and our Pure Shield MMA Club is based on the will of Master Yves, pursuing the limits of physical fitness and martial arts!"
"What an amazing person. Evan was in awe.
"Nowadays, the vast majority of mechanics exercise their willpower and spirit through meditative exercises. However, Master Yves believed that through persistent physical training and arduous extreme training, one could obtain an incomparably powerful spiritual strength while attaining a body of steel. Kalenz raised his clenched fists and said with great excitement.
"I think it makes sense......" He nodded hesitantly, half-convinced.
"Junior brother, you are now one of us, and I won't hide some inside information from you. ”
Karenz sighed, walked under the image of 'Yves', put his hands behind his back, and said with some gloom:
"Mixed martial arts technology is indeed in decline now, but its decline is not because of its power! Just like shoemakers who specialize in traditional crafts, they are eliminated by the factory, not because of the poor quality of the shoes, but because of the efficiency. ”
"Since...... Eventually, the gains will be wiped out, so what's the point of MMA's existence?" asked Ivan confused.
"Good question!"
Karenz narrowed his eyes, and the light deflected between the constriction of the rainbow ring of his pupils, focusing on a sharp gaze:
"The answer is fighting skills! The mental power honed by mixed martial arts techniques is completely in line with physical fitness, and can even penetrate deep into the cellular level, so it is enough to support the combat skills that ordinary people look like almost miraculous! Those mechanics who obtain spiritual power with meditative exercises and then strengthen their bodies with divine source metal cannot have such abilities before they break through the fifth level of spiritual power!"
"That is to say, weak in the early stage, strong in the middle stage, and flattened in the later stage......" Ivan is a little bit clear, and changed an easy-to-understand statement for him.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Karenz breathed a sigh of relief at what he said, and after coughing for a while, he took several deep breaths in succession, revealing a look of annoyance and anger:
"Do you think that the inheritance level is so easy to advance!? A mechanic of that level, every one of them is the elite of the elite, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a super genius who is unique in ten thousand. Being able to be strong to level four is already a very big reward, don't be so dissatisfied!"
"I have decided to join the club, and I will study hard in the future. Evan hurriedly added.
"Hmm!"
The muscular man nodded with satisfaction, raised his head and glanced at the ceiling, and entered the voice command again:
"Noah, start skill play. ”
Hanging in the air and in the air, the ancestor Ives, his back was down in the next moment, his legs were slightly staggered back and forth, his shoulder joints were retracted and probed, and his left fist shot out like a cannonball.
This punch was strong, and the muscles and blood vessels of the whole body swelled at the same time, and the whole arm was densely woven with green tendons, like an iron net, and the air suddenly hit with a "bang" roar. It was as if a cannonball had landed and exploded, and the air flow overflowed, scraping in the air like water ripples.
“......”
Ivan suddenly widened his eyes and almost opened his jaw in surprise.
In terms of the power of a single wheel, in his heyday, he could also do this to the extent of running the Holy Scriptures of the Underworld. But people don't use a trace of energy, this punch is a pure physical function, if you input energy, the destructive power is enough to increase a hundred times.
Able to develop the functions of the human body to such an extent, this ancestor Ives is indeed a great man!
Bang bang——!
Yves hunched his back and lowered his back, his fists protected his face, the muscles between the nape of his neck were raised high, his muscles were knotted, his feet hit the ground quickly, and his fists struck a strong wind with precision, and his body shape and movements were constantly changing like phantoms.
With the end of each move, there was immediately a remnant of the Dao on his body, and as soon as it appeared in front of him, he dissected the action intentions he had just played one by one, and fixed them in the void.
