Chapter 594: Combat Training

Normally, if you want to learn combat, you must first exercise your physical fitness, and then consider routines and techniques, but... since he only has two or three days, should I teach him some quick-fix life-saving techniques first?

Looking at Leon, who had a thin build after taking off his old coat five steps away, the female police officer hesitated slightly, then asked:

"The combat techniques I know are quite mixed, but the ones I am best at and most suitable for quick learning are police combat and military combat. Which one do you want to learn?"

Leon, who knew nothing about combat, hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"These two... what's the difference?"

"The goals and characteristics are different. For military use, it's mainly about rapid lethality, making the opponent lose combat capability immediately... for example, like this!"

As soon as the female police officer finished speaking, her whole body suddenly sank, sticking close to the ground at a speed that seemed like she had fallen into the earth. Then, like a black fish tumbling on the soil, she instantly crossed the distance of nearly three meters between the two, arriving in front of Leon like a ghost.

What the hell?

From the moment the female police officer lowered her body, Leon tried to use his eyes to track her movements, but even with the high reaction speed brought by an infection value of 4.1, he could still only see a blurry figure "arching" towards him. In his haste, he couldn't even distinguish the position of her hands and feet.

And when Leon instinctively retreated, a thigh wearing tight black trousers with amazing elasticity had already stepped to the left of his right knee. Just by lifting it slightly along the force of Leon's retreat, it directly arched his entire balance and flipped him horizontally backward.

Immediately after, before his body had completely landed, while he was dancing in mid-air, someone lightly poked him with a finger between the third and fourth ribs on his left side, the position closest to his heart.

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

Standing in Leon's original position, after raising two fingers to make a stabbing motion, the female police officer, satisfied with Leon's shocked expression, secretly pursed her lips, held back her laughter, and said with a serious face:

"A recruit who only lasted 0.5 seconds under my hands! Listen up, the first thing you want to learn in combat is not how to knock down your opponent, but 'don't move randomly'!"

"Your body is much sturdier than it looks, and your legs in a standing position have a longer attack range than me when I'm charging. If you hadn't retreated randomly just now, but had gathered your courage to kick out, the result would have been different!"

Kick out?

After recalling the scene just now, Leon patted the dirt off his body and stood up, thinking thoughtfully:

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

"You couldn't have blocked it."

The female police officer shook her head and said:

"But it could have made you die a little slower. I would have needed to make a second move to kill you. The total time would have changed 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 my legs and then dying, right?

Hmph hmph! Making you stand me up!

Looking at Leon, who was depressed by her answer, the female police officer, who had been keeping a straight face, finally couldn't help but smile, and then looked at Leon thoughtfully.

For combat, speaking ten times with your mouth is not as memorable as experiencing it yourself. So her sudden attack just now was intended to give this guy a warning, and by the way, teach him the first lesson of combat—open your eyes.

Yes, the first lesson for a novice is not "don't move randomly," but learning to open your eyes.

Novice fighters will subconsciously close their eyes when they are approached and attacked in the face by an enemy. For a newcomer who can only use their eyes to observe the opponent, this habit is no different from directly admitting defeat.

So the female police officer's original plan was to charge directly to Leon's front and punch him in the face, scaring him into closing his eyes, directly teaching him this most important lesson: learning combat must try to overcome the instinct to close your eyes.

However, what the female police officer didn't expect was that although Leon's eyes couldn't keep up with her movements, his brain and body reacted, and 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 "don't close your eyes" to "don't move randomly."

Hmm... long limbs, fast reaction, accurate intuition or judgment, physical fitness... seems to be much sturdier than it looks?

After moving her right leg slightly and recalling the strength of the instinctive resistance she felt when she held Leon's leg just now, the female police officer, who had roughly figured out Leon's "foundation," nodded slightly, already knowing how she should teach him.

"You'd better not learn military combat. Although military combat has greater lethality, many of the small routines are things like surprise attacks and heavy strikes. It has high requirements for strength and is very picky about the environment. Although you can meet the learning requirements, it doesn't feel very suitable for your force-exertion habits."

After walking over to pinch the muscles on Leon's shoulders and back, and squatting down to pat a few places on his thighs, the female police officer, who had calmed down, evaluated truthfully:

"Leon, although you look thin, your strength is actually not bad. It's just that compared to your speed and reaction ability, it looks very ordinary. Your quality 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 restriction of movement. Simply put, it's grabbing the opponent first, trying to limit his force exertion, and then using techniques like joint locks to control the situation."

"The difficulty of police combat is that it has high requirements for speed and on-the-spot judgment, but it just happens to be suitable for your situation. I think if you learn this, even if it's only for two or three days, you should be able to learn a few very effective practical moves."

"Then let's learn police combat."

Although he was a little envious of the clean and neat one-hit kill just now, Leon, who knew nothing about combat, naturally chose to trust the judgment of a professional and honestly watched the female police officer practice police combat.

"Kingdom police combat has a total of 22 basic moves, of which 3 are active attacks, 3 are for cooperating with teammates to subdue targets, and the remaining 16 moves are all self-defense counterattacks in various situations."

After practicing the stance of Kingdom police combat, the female police officer, whose face was slightly flushed, exhaled a white breath, and then explained to Leon seriously:

"Since you only have three days, I will pick 3 typical ones from these 16 moves to teach you. As long as you can practice these three moves well, with your physical fitness, you can instantly subdue most people one-on-one."

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

After looking at his badge interface, Leon, who had made up his mind to "cheat," suggested:

"For example, those active attack moves, can you teach me one or two of those too? It's not good to always be passively defending, right?"

"Don't be too ambitious! In such a short time, it's already very difficult for you to learn these three self-defense moves!"

Upon hearing this, the female police officer stopped her movements and taught him with a serious expression:

"Don't think that self-defense is just getting beaten. Self-defense moves should actually be called defensive counterattack moves. The core is to seize the flaws in other people's attacks to counter them, while active attacks will definitely expose flaws to others!"

"More importantly, no matter how poorly you practice defensive counterattacks, at least they can help you defend. If you practice active attack moves poorly, you might end up delivering your vital points to someone else's knife!"

"Oh..."

Forget it... then let's learn these first. If he doesn't grind out a badge, then what she said must be right. If he grinds out a badge, he can learn the rest from her later.

Not knowing Leon's thoughts, seeing that he was no longer stubborn but honestly learning from her, the female police officer nodded with satisfaction, then said: "Watch closely! The three moves I'm teaching you are the three most important and basic ones among self-defense counterattacks, which are the ways to deal with when the opponent attacks your upper body, attacks your lower body, and attacks from behind."

As the female police officer spoke, she gestured with an arm-blocking posture.

"Treat your two arms as two shields... forget it, that's too abstract. Come here! Punch me directly! Hit a bit faster!"

"Okay!"

Leon nodded upon hearing this, stood opposite her according to the female police officer's request, and punched directly.

Immediately after, as if the scene of a one-hit kill just now had reappeared, the female police officer, who had been standing opposite him, suddenly sank down, hiding half of her body out of Leon's field of vision. Then, Leon only felt a pain on the inside of his arm, and the attack was directly and neatly blocked.

And the moment his right hand went numb, two soft "black snakes" climbed up, directly hooking into the shoulder sockets of his shoulders. Then his neck was hit by something, and he felt a powerful hook and trip from a slender calf on the inside of his left knee. His whole body instantly fell backward, and someone lightly tapped his belly with the tip of their toe.

"Use your arm bone to block the opponent's nerve, take advantage of his numbness to cut into his embrace, hook his shoulders and pull him towards you, then use your forehead to hit his neck... If you want to kill, just hit the Adam's apple directly!"

After making a motion of hooking shoulders with both hands and slamming his head down, the female police officer, who was somewhat murderous, explained while continuing to perform the moves:

"What I just talked about is the upper body part of this move, but your lower body must also move. At the moment the impact is completed, use your leg to hook the opponent's leg, then press your body forward when he loses his balance, and add the final kick! If you want to kill, don't kick the stomach, step on the crotch a bit lower!"

Mom!

Looking at the small leather shoe that the female police officer lifted and then kicked forward violently, which was only a fist away from his little brothers, Leon couldn't help but shiver violently, and the most primitive fear of a man was awakened.

So the first move she taught was kicking the crotch! It seems that the assistant to the Minister of Public Security was right. A competition really restricted Miss Yisha's performance...

"Did you remember?"

Ignoring Leon's shock, the female police officer, who had entered teaching mode, had a touch of coldness on her beautiful face. After reaching out to pull Leon up from the ground, she ordered seriously:

"If you remembered, then switch people. This time I'll hit you, you block and then trip me!"

"Okay..."

After getting up and setting his posture according to her requirements, facing the right fist hit by the female police officer, Leon sank his shoulders to block it according to the moves she taught, then hooked the female police officer's shoulder sockets with both hands and slammed his head over.

However, Leon was not familiar with the moves, and he sank his shoulders a bit too deep. Plus, the female police officer had a pair of proud long legs, and her height was no different from an ordinary man, which caused this forehead, which should have hit her neck, to deviate slightly downward.

Done for!

After slamming his head out, he realized that something big was wrong. To prevent this teaching from directly turning into real combat, Leon hurriedly hooked the female police officer's shoulders tightly, and the leg he was preparing to hook her knee with also instantly defended, blocking in front of his vital points, fearing that he would be castrated on the spot if he didn't react in time.

However, to his surprise, the female police officer, who had been hit hard, stiffened slightly but didn't make any resistance. Instead, she followed the force of Leon's slam and lay backward, even reaching out to protect Leon's head when she fell, not letting his head hit the ground directly.

"..."

"Too terrible!"

After pushing Leon, who had lost his balance, away, the female police officer, who stood up again, patted the dust off her body and evaluated with displeasure:

"The move I taught you is completely deformed! Except for actually blocking my nerve, the subsequent head slam didn't hit the right position! The footwork didn't keep up either!"

"And most importantly, you forgot to let go of my shoulders, causing you to be brought down by me together. The final kick couldn't be stepped out at all! Get up and practice again!"

Ah, this...

She didn't get angry? She didn't even make me explain? Are you such a reasonable person? Where did the Miss Yisha who was reckless and fierce, and who would flip my dinner plate if she couldn't win an argument, go?

"Don't just stand there, continue!"

Seeing Leon looking at her repeatedly with an incredible expression, the female police officer, whose ears were slightly red, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and couldn't help but stomp her feet and grit her teeth:

"Hurry up! Aren't you going on a very dangerous mission in three days? Learn a little more now, and you can be a little safer then! Don't think about those messy things! Practice quickly!"

"..."

So... is she worried about my safety, so she restrained her temper?

Looking at the female police officer who was secretly pinching the corner of her clothes with her fingers but still trying hard to maintain a fierce look, Leon couldn't help but chuckle, and then stood up straight under her somewhat shy and angry glare, set up the blocking posture again, and shouted seriously:

"Come again! I will definitely learn it this time!"

【Through Miss Yisha Hill's extremely attentive repeated sparring, you have successfully activated the Black Iron-level badge "Combat Newbie"】

【Combat Newbie: After relatively systematic practice, a fighter who has mastered certain combat techniques. Although the level is not high, a fairly good foundation has been laid】

【Equipment effect: As a new combatant, although your techniques are relatively immature, after correcting your force-exertion method and habits, your strength and speed in combat have been slightly improved】

【Advancement route: After completing 20 real combats or 200 sparring practices, this badge will automatically advance to the Bronze badge "Combat Veteran". Current progress 0/20, 0/200】

【Hidden trait: Due to correct cultivation and strict training, your talent in combat has been fully developed, and you have gained the ability to slightly predict the direction of enemy attacks】

"Zhi..."

【Through your own learning and thinking, you have mastered low-level combat ability, and the different-colored badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" is activated.

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

When attacking the enemy's eyes and crotch, your hit rate and damage caused will be significantly improved】
