Chapter 192: 191 True Transmission

Normally, to learn combat, one must first train physical fitness, then consider forms and techniques, but... since he only has two or three days, should I teach some quick survival techniques instead?

Looking at Hearing Li Ang, who had taken off his old coat and was of a slender build five paces away, the female police officer hesitated slightly, then asked:

"My combat skills are quite varied, but the two I am best at and most suitable for quick learning are police combat and military combat. Which do you want to learn?"

Hearing Li Ang, who knew nothing about combat, hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"What... is the difference between these two?"

"The targets and characteristics differ. Military combat is mainly for quick killing, to make the opponent immediately lose combat capability... like this!"

The moment the female police officer finished speaking, her entire body suddenly sank, approaching the ground at a speed as if falling into the earth, then instantly crossed the nearly three-meter distance between them like a black fish thrashing in mud, arriving before Hearing Li Ang like a ghost.

What the hell?

From the instant the female police officer lowered her body, Hearing Li Ang tried to track her movement with his eyes, but even with the high reaction speed brought by an infection value of 4.1, he could only see a blurry figure "arch" toward him, and in his haste, he couldn't even distinguish the position of her hands and feet.

And when Hearing Li Ang instinctively retreated backward, a leg clad in black tight trousers, with astonishing elasticity, had already been placed to the left of his right knee a split second earlier; merely lifting slightly along the force of Hearing Li Ang's retreat, it directly threw off his entire body's balance, flipping him sideways and sending him flying backward.

Immediately after, before his body could fully hit the ground, while he was flailing his arms and legs in mid-air, a finger lightly poked the spot between his third and fourth left ribs, the area closest to his heart.

"If I were holding a dagger in my hand, you would already be dead."

Standing where Hearing Li Ang had originally been, the female police officer raised two fingers to make a horizontal stabbing motion, then, satisfied with Hearing Li Ang's shocked expression, secretly pressed her lips together, suppressed her smile, and said with a serious face:

"A recruit who lasted only 0.5 seconds under my hand! Listen up: the first thing to learn in combat is not how to knock down your opponent, but 'do not move recklessly'!"

Your body is much more solid than it looks; your legs in a standing stance have a longer range of attack than I do while charging. If you hadn't retreated recklessly just now but had summoned the courage to kick out with your leg, the result would have been different!"

Kick out with the leg?

After recalling the scene just now, Hearing Li Ang brushed the dust off his clothes, stood up, and said thoughtfully:

"If I had kicked out with my leg, could I have blocked that move of yours just now?"

"You couldn't block it."

The female police officer shook her head and said:

"But it would make you die a little slower. I would still need to perform a second move to kill you; the total time would change from about 0.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds."???

So the difference between me kicking and not kicking is changing from dying on the spot to kicking once before dying, right?

Hmph! Letting me down like that!

Seeing Hearing Li Ang's gloomy face caused by her answer, the female police officer, who had been keeping a straight face, finally couldn't help but smile, then looked at Hearing Li Ang thoughtfully as well.

For combat, explaining something ten times with words is not as memorable as experiencing it personally, so my sudden attack just now was intended to give this guy a wake-up call and, at the same time, teach him the first lesson of combat—open your eyes.

Yes, the first lesson for a beginner is not "do not move recklessly," but to learn to open your eyes.

When a novice combatant is approached by an enemy and attacked in the face, they will subconsciously close their eyes; for a newcomer who can only observe the opponent with their eyes, this habit is no different from admitting defeat.

So the female police officer's original plan was to charge directly to Hearing Li Ang's front, punch his face, scare him into closing his eyes, and directly teach him this most important lesson: when learning combat, one must strive to overcome the instinct to close one's eyes.

However, what the female police officer did not expect was that, although Hearing Li Ang's eyes could not keep up with her movements,

his mind and body reacted, and he even seemed to vaguely judge her attack target, retreating in time to move his face out of the attack range, so this first lesson of combat was temporarily changed from "do not close your eyes" to "do not move recklessly."

Hmm... long limbs, fast reactions, accurate intuition or judgment, physical fitness... seems much more solid than it looks?

After slightly moving her right leg and recalling the force of the instinctive resistance she felt when blocking Hearing Li Ang's leg just now, the female police officer, having roughly figured out Hearing Li Ang's "foundation," nodded slightly, already knowing how to teach him.

"You should not learn military combat. Although military combat has greater killing power, many of its small forms are things like assassination and powerful strikes, requiring high strength and being very environment-dependent. Although you can meet the learning requirements, I feel it does not quite suit your force application habits."

Walking over, pinching the muscles of Hearing Li Ang's shoulders and back, then squatting down and patting several spots on his thighs, the female police officer, now calmed down, evaluated honestly:

"Hearing Li Ang, although you look slender, your strength is actually not bad; it just seems quite ordinary compared to your speed and reaction ability. Your qualities in these two aspects should be very... hmm... outstanding, and your judgment is also very good.

Unlike military combat, the goal of police combat is arrest, control, self-defense counterattack, and restricting movement; simply put, it is to grab the opponent first, try to restrict their force application, and then control the situation with techniques like joint locks.

The difficulty of police combat lies in the high requirements for hand speed and on-the-spot judgment, but this suits your situation perfectly. I believe that if you learn this, even with only two or three days, you should be able to learn several very effective practical moves."

"Then let's learn police combat."

Although somewhat envious of that decisive one-strike kill just now, Hearing Li Ang, who knew nothing about combat, naturally chose to trust the professional's judgment and obediently watched the female police officer demonstrate police combat.

"Kingdom Police Combat consists of 22 basic moves, of which 3 are offensive attacks, 3 are for cooperating with teammates to subdue targets, and the remaining 16 moves are self-defense counterattacks in various situations."

After demonstrating the stances of Kingdom Police Combat once, the female police officer, her face slightly flushed, exhaled a puff of white breath, then seriously explained to Hearing Li Ang:

"Since you only have three days, I will pick three relatively typical ones from these 16 moves to teach you. As long as you can master these three moves, with your physical fitness, you can instantly subdue most people in a one-on-one situation."

"Uh... can you teach me a few more? I feel I learn things quite quickly."

After checking his badge panel, Hearing Li Ang, having decided to "cheat," proposed:

"For example, can you teach me one or two of those offensive attack moves? Being purely defensive all the time won't work, right?"

"Do not aim too high! In such a short time, it is already very difficult for you to learn these three self-defense moves!"

Hearing this, the female police officer stopped her movements and sternly admonished:

"Do not think self-defense means taking hits; self-defense moves should actually be called defensive counterattack moves. The core is to seize openings in the opponent's attack for countermeasures, while offensive attacks will definitely expose openings to the opponent!

More importantly, even if your defensive counterattacks are practiced poorly, they can at least help you defend; poorly practiced offensive attack moves might just deliver your vital points to someone else's blade!"

"Oh..."

Forget it... let's learn this first. If no badge appears, then what she said must be correct; if a badge does appear, I'll learn the rest from her later.

Unaware of Hearing Li Ang's thoughts, seeing that he was no longer stubborn but was obediently learning from her, the female police officer nodded in satisfaction, then said:

"Watch carefully! The three moves I teach you are the most important and most basic among the defensive counterattack moves: responding to attacks on your upper body, attacks on your lower body, and attacks from behind."

While speaking, the female police officer demonstrated a posture of blocking outward with the arm.

"Treat your two arms as two shields... no, that's too abstract. Come here! Punch me directly! Punch faster!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Li Ang nodded, stood opposite her as the female police officer requested, and threw a punch directly at her.

Immediately, as if recreating the scene of that one-strike kill just now, the female police officer, who had been facing him directly, suddenly sank down, half her body disappearing from Hearing Li Ang's field of vision; then Hearing Li Ang felt a pain on the inside of his arm, and his attack was directly and cleanly blocked away.

And at the instant his right hand went numb, two soft "black snakes" climbed up, directly locking onto the hollows of both shoulders; then his neck was bumped by something, his left inner knee felt the forceful hook of a slender calf, and his whole body instantly fell backward onto his back, with someone lightly tapping his belly with their toes.

"Use your arm frame to hit the opponent's funny bone, and while he's ***, cut in close, grip his shoulder and pull him toward you, then use your forehead to ram his neck... If you want to kill, then go straight for the Adam's apple!"

After demonstrating a motion of both hands gripping the shoulders and lowering the head to ram forward, the somewhat murderous-looking female cop continued the motion while explaining:

"What I just explained was the upper-body part of this move, but your lower body has to move too. The instant the ram is complete, use your leg to hook back the opponent's leg, then when he loses his balance, press your body forward and deliver the final kick! If you're going for a killing blow, don't kick the stomach—aim lower and stomp the crotch!"

Holy crap!

Watching the female cop raise her foot and snap-kick forward, her little leather shoe stopping just a fist's distance from his own little brother, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but shudder violently, awakened to the most primal fear of manhood.

So the very first move she teaches is a crotch kick! Looks like that assistant to the Minister of Public Security wasn't wrong—competition really was limiting Miss Yisha's performance...

"Got it memorized?"

Paying no heed to Hearing Li Ang's shock, the female cop, now in teaching mode, had a cold, stern cast added to her lovely face. After reaching down to pull Hearing Li Ang up off the ground, she ordered him with a serious expression:

"If you've got it, switch roles. This time I'll attack you, you block and then trip me!"

"Okay..."

He rose, arranged himself into the stance she required, and facing the female cop's incoming right fist, Hearing Li Ang imitated the move she'd taught—dropping his shoulder to deflect it—then gripped both hands onto the hollows of her shoulders and rammed his head forward.

However, Hearing Li Ang's movements weren't yet practiced; he dropped his shoulder a bit too deep, and combined with the female cop's impressively long legs and a height that was in no way inferior to an ordinary man's, the forehead that should have struck her neck deviated slightly downward.

Oh no!

The instant his head rammed out he realized something terrible was about to happen. To prevent this training session from turning into a real fight, Hearing Li Ang hurriedly tightened his grip on the female cop's shoulders, and the leg he'd been extending to hook her knee instantly snapped back to guard, blocking in front of his own vital spot, terrified that one moment's slow reaction would send him straight to the palace.

But to his surprise, although the female cop's body stiffened slightly from the hard ram, she made no move to resist. Instead, she went along with the force of Hearing Li Ang's charge and fell straight backward, and even as she went down she reached out to shield Hearing Li Ang's head, keeping his skull from cracking straight onto the ground.

"..."

"Too lousy!"

After pushing the off-balance Hearing Li Ang away, the female cop—who had gotten back to her feet—brushed the dust off herself and commented with a displeased look:

"The moves I taught you got completely warped! Apart from actually hitting my funny bone, the follow-up headbutt didn't land in the right spot! The footwork didn't keep up either!

And most importantly, you forgot to let go of my shoulders, which is why we both got pulled down together, and that last kick couldn't be delivered at all! Get up and drill it again!"

Uh...

She isn't even angry? Didn't even need me to explain? Are you really this reasonable a person? What happened to that Yisha who was so reckless and fierce, who flipped my dinner tray when she couldn't win an argument?

"Stop spacing out, keep going!"

Seeing Hearing Li Ang stare at her over and over with an incredulous look, the female cop—whose ears had turned slightly red—finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and couldn't help stamping her foot and grinding out through clenched teeth:

"Hurry up and come on! Don't you have a very dangerous mission in three days? The more you learn now, the safer you'll be then! Stop thinking about all that messy stuff! Get to it!"

"..."

So... she's worried about my safety, and that's why she's reined in her temper?

Looking at the female cop who was clearly secretly twisting her hem between her fingers while still struggling to maintain a fierce expression, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but let out a soft laugh. Then, under her somewhat embarrassed and annoyed glare, he straightened up, resumed the ready-to-block stance, and declared with a serious face:

"Again! I'll definitely get it this time!"

【Fighting Rookie: A fighter who, after relatively systematic practice, has grasped a certain amount of combat technique. Although the level isn't high, a fairly solid foundation has been laid】

【Equip Effect: As a newly initiated fighter, your technique is still rather raw, but after correcting your force application and striking habits, your strength and speed in combat have both received a slight boost】

【Advancement Route: Complete 20 real fights, or complete 200 accompanied practice sessions, and this badge will automatically advance to the Bronze badge "Fighting Veteran." Current progress: 0/20, 0/200】

【Hidden Trait: Due to receiving proper cultivation and strict training, your talent in combat has been fully developed, granting you the ability to slightly anticipate the direction of an enemy's attacks】

"Tsk..."

【Through your own study and reflection, you have mastered a low level of combat ability. The Iridescent badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" has been activated.

Your understanding of combat is "low," but because you are good at thinking, summarizing, and self-adjusting, you have successfully learned some rather special techniques from your instructor.

When attacking an enemy's eyes and crotch, your hit rate and the damage you deal will both receive a significant boost】
