Chapter 219: One Punch Settles It

As for his opponents, especially those from the Island People Group, Liu Xiaotian would never show mercy.

As for the martial arts novel habit of casually letting opponents off after three moves, Liu Xiaotian doesn't have that either.

"Are you ready?" This is Liu Xiaotian's line.

Xiao Dao San Lang never expected Liu Xiaotian to say something like that, and he instinctively nodded.

Besides, this guy is no surprise—he was selected by his nation, which even fawns over his group, and they didn't hesitate to "waste" a quota sending him to Warrior School for training; whether it's mental agility or combat awareness, he's top-notch.

At the exact moment Liu Xiaotian asked, "Are you ready?", Xiao Dao San Lang instantly realized Liu Xiaotian was about to strike, immediately stepped back lightning‑fast, then stepped forward and threw a Right Swing Punch that smashed hard toward Liu Xiaotian's temple.

What surprised Liu Xiaotian was that this guy didn't even use any karate moves.

Without moving his feet, Liu Xiaotian simply leaned forward to meet Xiao Dao San Lang, and at the same time lowered his right fist to throw a not‑quite‑standard uppercut.

In one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'

He clearly knew that Wang Yanbing and Liu Xiaotian had just been together.

Not to mention Liu Xiaotian—even if it were that Chief Instructor who always appears inscrutable and truly possesses that kind of strength, taking this punch head‑on, even if he isn't knocked out on the spot, at least his gaze would be scattered for a few seconds.

But after this little interruption from Xiao Dao San Lang, Liu Xiaotian changed his mind on the spot.

Xiao Dao San Lang had regained some of his senses by now, so he chose the most appropriate way to attack—the Swinging from boxing.

His fist first struck Xiao Dao San Lang's hand, then, through that hand, transmitted the force to his chin.

The best way to attack was to use that very move just used on Wang Yanbing—the signature technique of Damongorou: grab both shoulders, then follow with a bear hug. All subsequent attack options occurred to Xiao Dao San Lang in that instant, the only thing he didn't think of was: he simply couldn't block Liu Xiaotian's fist, which looked weak and slow.

He hadn't even managed to hit Wang Yanbing with the karate moves he'd just used, and now he wants to try those same karate moves against Liu Xiaotian? That's just asking for a beating.

Originally, he had planned to run together with those defeated hand‑training soldiers.

It's not that he doesn't want to train; on the contrary, he is no longer the person who needed the system to force‑assign physical‑training missions before he'd do them—now training has become a part of his daily life.

Given his height, stepping forward to throw a Right Swing Punch, and using the Swinging—a heavy, powerful move that can almost fully unleash the power of a swing punch—is absolutely the most suitable.

With a dull thud, Xiao Dao San Lang's body sprang backward under everyone's gaze, landing flat on his back in a perfect back‑flip high‑jump posture, and he passed out on the spot.

In fact, Liu Xiaotian didn't change his punching line at all.

Everyone present was an elite soldier hand‑picked by their respective countries, and it was obvious.

All one can say is that Liu Xiaotian's speed is simply too fast—those elite soldiers from various nations couldn't even see how he slipped past Xiao Dao San Lang's hand, which was already raised to block his jaw, and struck his chin.

Swinging isn't the rumba; as the name suggests, it's a swing punch that's lifted and swung in a circle.

If you don't hit, even a Desert Eagle bullet is just a lump of iron.

The feeling of being knocked down at the drop of a hat isn't very pleasant.

And yet he still knocked Xiao Dao San Lang out with a single punch—clean and decisive, with no mess. Liu Xiaotian, from start to finish, never lifted his feet off the original spot.

Xiao Dao San Lang certainly wouldn't use that.

"Bang!"

But the precondition is that you must be able to take that punch squarely.

After knocking Xiao Dao San Lang out with one punch, Liu Xiaotian didn't waste another word—he didn't even bother to glance at him again—and turned straight to the trainees, commanding in a low voice: "Those who just lost the match, you may now set out; time starts over from this moment."

And now, Liu Xiaotian has become the Combat Instructor at Warrior School, while Wang Yanbing remains a trainee.

You can't tell with the naked eye, but in an actual fight, being just 0.2 seconds slower means the difference between victory and defeat.

Even if Warrior School only grabbed Liu Xiaotian as a Combat Instructor because they couldn't find anyone better in the short term—promoting the tallest among the short—it at least shows that Liu Xiaotian's strength is still considerable.

It's a shame that Da Bing also dislikes Xiao Dao San Lang from the bottom of his heart; when it comes to Xiao Dao San Lang being KO'd by Liu Xiaotian's one punch, Da Bing claps even more enthusiastically than Li Erniu.

After daytime training ends, he can train however he likes, but when he's instructing other soldiers he must absolutely not "lead by example."

If you measure him right before bed at night, he's at most 1.64 meters tall.

Liu Xiaotian's height is already over 1.8 meters, while Xiao Dao San Lang can barely reach 1.65 meters—and only if measured first thing in the morning when his whole body is most relaxed.

Xiao Dao San Lang's strength is not bad; he's just a bit slow.

But if it's a real combat situation, it's a matter of life and death! The instant Xiao Dao San Lang's fist is about to rise, Liu Xiaotian has already guessed that he's going to throw that punch.

None of them had any special connection with Xiao Dao San Lang; the only one who was on relatively good terms with him was Da Bing.

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the jeep that the Chief Instructor had just given him.

Even when standing in place, Liu Xiaotian will unconsciously touch down only with the balls of his feet, lift his heels, and thus exercise the mobility of his calf muscles.

What pleases him even more is that, by dodging in this way, although he can avoid Xiao Dao San Lang's Right Swing Punch, once he blocks Liu Xiaotian's incoming uppercut he can immediately launch a full series of continuous attacks.

Xiao Dao San Lang is confident he can defend against such attacks.

"Whoosh…" This time, all the trainees almost instantly broke into applause.

How much strength does that take?

But he's an Instructor now.

The reason is simple.

He was originally one of those trainees himself, and now he's suddenly become an Instructor—it's normal for some people to feel uneasy about that.

If he still had to go through every subject together with those trainees while training them, although only a few would afterward think about where they lost and realize why Liu Xiaotian can be an Instructor.

But for most people, what they'll think is:

"Damn it, what's the pretense? Whether you're an Instructor or not, you still have to train alongside me, old man! (End of chapter)"
