Chapter 17: A Desire from the Wasteland
"Bang." A bang came from where the fists met.
The moment the three fists were sticking to the meat, Xu Rui knew that he had won. Wang Xiao chose to put his elbow on his neck, and his three-person punch became a tiger, and the punch on his shoulder was the real move.
Feeling the slight tremor of his fist touching Wang Xiao's shoulder, Xu Rui used his fist to the fullest while being excited, striving to defeat the border guard lieutenant in front of him with the smell of soldiers.
However, after a while, the muscle of Wang Xiao's shoulder against Xu Rui's fist shrank strangely, and he noticed this tremor, Xu Rui's face changed greatly, and it was too late to retreat sharply, only to hear a "bang", a huge force was transmitted from the fist to all parts of the body, Xu Rui could no longer control his body, and coincidentally flew towards the unprepared Sister Hong outside the field.
Everyone in the audience saw Xu Rui punching Wang Xiao three times very quickly, and with a bang, it was Xu Rui who didn't want to fly out upside down, and he opened his mouth wide and didn't have time to react.
Xu Rui was bitter in his heart.
In order to prevent casualties, the federal government strictly prohibits weapon fighting, and the use of internal strength is not allowed during fist and foot competitions. But there are differences in personal level and skills, and it is inevitable that some people will not be able to control their internal strength, Xu Rui knew that the other party was using internal strength to defend after feeling the familiar muscle contraction, but it was too late to retract immediately. However, the other party should just subconsciously condense the internal strength on the surface of the body for defense, not intentionally adding internal strength to hurt himself, otherwise he would have been seriously injured and vomited blood at this time. But even so, the huge force of feedback still made it difficult for Xu Rui to control his body, and he watched him crash heavily into Sister Hong, who had just had time to make a stunned expression on the field.
Wang Xiao in the center of the venue also reacted at this time, and scolded his mother in his heart.
The border guards guard the border, and there are anti-federal forces disturbing each other from time to time, and they mostly practice each other in actual combat on weekdays, and there are not many simple moves, and Wang Xiao used his internal strength just now purely because of his long-term habit and subconscious defense. If this is caused by civilian casualties at the border because of his mistakes in fist and foot fighting, I am afraid that these accumulated years of military exploits will be completely undone. He got up and pounced forward to grab Xu Rui, who was out of control, but it was too late to squat and rush, and he watched Xu Rui, who was knocked away by the huge force, about to crash into the civilian pile.
A pair of palms pressed against Xu Rui's backs very smoothly, and he landed silently.
Hugo slowly withdrew his hand, looking at the two black snow pits under his feet with palpitations, and his face was slightly pale.
Seeing that Sister Hong might be affected and injured, Hugo, who was closest to her, did not hesitate to make a move. To his surprise, the lieutenant of the border army named Wang Xiao was far more domineering than Hugo expected. It was just a passive defense against the impact of external internal strength, and he couldn't resist it, and subconsciously used his internal strength to root his feet in the ground, so as not to be overturned to the ground by this powerful force.
Xu Rui was caught by the internal and external internal forces, and his uncontrollable body, which was originally knocked into the air, was about to be seriously injured, but fortunately, most of the strength and internal strength were taken off by the two palms that were instantly attached to his back, and he just coughed twice with a bit of stuffiness in his chest, and it was no big deal.
Wang Xiao, who was in the center of the venue, saw that Xu Rui was caught by a young man safely, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to step forward to check if Xu Rui was injured, but inadvertently saw that the young man's steps were not disorderly, and he actually stood firmly and did not retreat to catch Xu Rui, his eyes lit up, and he narrowed slightly.
Unlike Xu Rui's Lianjia Tiger Step Boxing, Wang Xiao has only completely learned the fighting techniques in the Federal Army, and his fighting skills are all based on actual combat instincts, which is accurate and ruthless. In the past, because of a coincidence, he obtained this incomplete internal strength cultivation method from an unknown merchant who traveled to and from the Heavenly Dome, and cultivated his internal strength, and since then he has only half a foot stepped into the threshold of a cultivator.
Wang Xiao is different from ordinary cultivators, he is familiar with hand-to-hand combat and is very good at summarizing, according to his strong and burly physical characteristics, he actually gave up the long-term endurance of internal strength, and put his internal strength on the surface of his body for an abnormally long time, so as to brutally confront the enemy in battle, invincible. He clearly knew that although the blow that bounced Xu Rui just now was just a subconscious defense, the internal strength hidden in it was not fake, and non-cultivators were only afraid of being injured if they took it. But the inconspicuous young man in front of him caught Xu Rui who flew out upside down without retreating, and secretly unloaded most of his internal strength......
He stood up straight, exhaled, looked at Hugo and Xu Rui deeply, and said:
"There are many talented people in the Federation, I didn't control it, I moved my internal strength, and I lost."
As he spoke, he simply raised his fists slightly towards Xu Rui, pursed his lips and said, "It seems that the garrison is not only some wine bags and rice bags, but also some real materials. ”
Xu Rui pushed away the hand of his subordinates who came to support, signaled that he was fine, and hugged his fists and saluted: "Accept." If you really fight hard, I'm afraid that the outcome will be unpredictable......"
Xu Rui, who was hit by Wang Xiao's internal strength, knew in his heart that this person's internal strength was strong and outward, but he was afraid that he would take a fierce path, and he would not carry internal strength between his fists and feet, which was already a little unfair to him.
"It's just...... I also work for the Federation, and I hope that the border guards will be more polite to our garrison in the future. ”
Wang Xiao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't come to this set, just because you're not a wine bag doesn't mean that the garrison is not." I've also been to the capital, and I've seen a lot of your colleagues who spend a lot of time drinking and bullying the weak, so how can you talk about serving the Federation with such a military style? ”
"Besides, some of the people in the pit you brought with you are obviously capable people, when strong men don't want to serve the Federation, but they are evading their duties and collective position theory in Xiaye, in my opinion, how are these wastes who squat in the sky all day long, useless in the Federation, have the qualifications to join the Federation as a glorious human whole?"
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he put on his shirt and bulletproof armor again, shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave without looking at everyone, leaving only a cold sentence.
"There is a place to stay in Kannai, so go through the procedures yourself. You don't have the expedited permission to pass through the overnight pass, so you can only stay in the pass tonight and start the boundary gate for you tomorrow morning. ”
Xu Rui and Hugo looked at Wang Xiao's back silently and did not speak.
Everyone looked at each other in the wind and snow, and gradually merged with the night and the mountain rocks.
It was late at night, and everyone had completed the formalities and settled down in the wolf's tooth pass.
Xu Rui seemed to be in a bad mood, and his subordinates beckoned everyone in Tongjia Town to settle down, and asked Hugo to leave on time tomorrow morning.
The border guards in the Langya Pass did not make any arrangements for everyone, but strictly forbade the entry and exit of those who had entered the pass.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! ”
Tong Wu and the others lived in a large dormitory, and at this time they were standing in front of the bed learning Xu Rui's three punches during the day, hitting the quilt in front of them.
"Look at that Adjutant Xu, although he is the same age as you and me, he has learned a high and profound martial arts, and the most famous kung fu is this Lianjia Tiger Fist." Saying that, Tong Wu turned his fist into a claw and whined at the guys who were half-leaning on the bed.
"That's Lianjia Tiger Fist." A guy knocked on the side of the bed and reminded.
"Exactly, these three punches sometimes change claws into fists, sometimes into fists into claws, the shadow of the fist is unpredictable, it is the tiger fist in the tiger step boxing...... "Tong Wu spittle is blowing vigorously, feeling that he is not strong on the soft quilt, and he raised his hand and snapped three times, I don't know if it was a fist or a palm on the wall.
"What's the noise? Hurry up and put the old lady to sleep! Sister Hong and Hugo were about to turn off the lights and go to bed next door when they were startled.
Tong Wu and the others hurriedly held their breath, turned off the light and went to bed.
Hugo lay on the bed and looked at the bare ceiling, thinking about what Wang Xiao said before leaving.
evasion of duty...... I don't want to reciprocate...... Rubbish......
When Hugo was a child, he followed the wandering Yuqiu outside the realm, often eating the last meal without the next meal, and he couldn't think of anything else, and his biggest wish at that time was to be able to settle down in the realm and live a safe and stable life. Later, he settled in Tongjia Town, and finally didn't have to wander around, and Yuqiu sometimes wondered inexplicably after the seemingly busy life, is his life ready to be spent like this?
He was speechless when Wang Xiao said it, although his words were not exhaustive, but one thing was really good.
When you are a strong man, you really shouldn't spend your life in this place, Hugo thought.
The home planet is so big, there are many places I haven't seen before...... And those mysterious cultivators...... And mechs!
When the winter hunt is over, why don't you go to the army? To be a cultivator in the military? Or a mech pilot......
Hugo shook his head and pulled back his thoughts, let's finish the matter in front of him first......
Speaking of what was in front of him, Hugo thought of the fist and foot competition at the Wolf's Tooth Pass in the afternoon. He closed his eyes, thinking about Xu Rui's three punches and Wang Xiao's ruthless moves.
The styles of the two are completely different, Xu Rui's moves are mainly cut and side-hitting, combining virtual and real, and with the dodge style, you can obviously feel that his offensive is condensed but not chaotic and has rules; And Wang Xiao took a different path, his punches and elbows were summarized from actual combat, and his moves were self-contained, simple and neat to get to the point, that is, he used his strong body to fight with you closely, and there was a strong smell of iron and blood of the border army.
Hugo remembered the nameless exercise he had practiced since he was a child, and there was a significant difference between the two of them. That exercise seems to pay more attention to improving the coordination of internal strength and body, but in terms of punches and feet, there are no systematic moves like Xu Rui, only a few simple body techniques. If you compare it, it seems that I have gained more experience from Wang Xiao.
If you don't have a systematic move, you have to use the combat experience you have gained from actual combat to improve yourself? Hugo thought so, and his hand unconsciously made a move in the air.
Hugo had to refine his body and nourish his qi since he was a child because of his congenitally weak body, but this also made him have a strong interest in those real practitioners and exercises since he was a child.
It's not just about being interested.
Because Tongyuqiu has been adrift outside the realm all year round, Hugo has crawled all over the boundless wasteland, endured months of loneliness without being inhabited, and survived the most common and unstoppable hunger outside the boundary. These long-lasting wandering days sometimes make people feel desperate when they think about it, but they also make Hugo more tenacious than ordinary people.
In the wasteland, only one's own fists and strength can be trusted and relied on.
If you run slowly, you won't be able to catch up with prey that is faster than you.
Without strength, you can only hide in fear and starve.
If you can't kill those prey, then you can only wait for those prey to kill you.
Ten steps there are jackals,
Thousands of miles are deserted.
Coming out of this desperate situation in the wasteland, no one is more hungry for power than Hugo.
Hugo habitually straightened his back muscles and gradually fell asleep with the desire to stay the same for decades.
