Chapter 1002: Arena mode

The reason it had no meaning was that the marksmanship of the six people from both sides was basically the same. If you performed well, you won one more point; if you performed poorly, you lost one point.

The most important thing was that these young men from the Police School were just so-so, and there wasn't a single person whose marksmanship was particularly awesome.

Although they were indeed stronger than Shi Suo overall, they were more than a little bit inferior compared to Wang An.

If we talk about rifles alone, they were not even as good as Wu Resong's marksmanship.

The "good marksmanship" mentioned here mainly refers to stability, just like Wang An—saying where to hit, it hits there, hitting every time, and every shot is particularly stable and particularly accurate.

It doesn't mean that out of ten bullets, when your hand feeling isn't good, there are a few bullets that go off-target, and some even damn well miss the target.

If that's the case, even if other bullets hit the ten rings, it can't be called good marksmanship.

These young men from the Police School were just like this; they could always have bullets hit the edge of the bullseye. Although the shooting rule is that as long as the bullet hole lands within the center circle, it counts as 10 rings, in the eyes of an expert, it always feels a bit lacking.

After 20-plus minutes, this group of Police School graduates finished competing.

Basically, you win one item, I win one item, or it's a draw, and the competition ended back and forth like grinding a mill.

And the final result was just like it had been discussed: a draw!

When it came to the retired personnel group's competition, the gap was even smaller. The two sides were like performing together, or it might be more accurate to say they were showing off their marksmanship together.

Because except for the pistol 50-meter moving target where both sides had small mistakes but ended in a draw, when it came to semi-automatic and fully automatic shooting competitions, all 6 of them hit full rings with every shot.

And the scores of the two sides were also completely indistinguishable.

Everyone was the same, so there was no way to distinguish them at all.

One has to admit that these retired personnel were truly formidable, and their performances were also particularly stable.

No wonder the previous cannon fodder group competition—no, it should be called the defense personnel group competition—could make Instructor Jiang Weimin so excited and Instructor Chen Laobian so depressed.

There was no other reason, because although the defense personnel group was cannon fodder, in a situation where the strength of the Police School group and the retired personnel group was about the same, the defense personnel group's competition was the key to deciding victory or defeat!

Just like that, DJ County achieved an indisputable victory in the shooting competition between the two counties.

Without a moment's delay, the grappling competition began.

The first to start the competition was still the defense personnel group.

It's just that the grappling competition used an arena mode.

The rule is that you cannot hit the throat, cannot hit the back of the head, and cannot attack the crotch.

Arena mode is where both sides send one person to fight first. When one side loses, that side sends another person to fight the person who won, until one side has no one left to send.

Such a competition can be said to be clear at a glance in terms of victory or defeat.

And this can both demonstrate individual strength and give a general idea of overall strength.

However, this mode also has a drawback: if one person's strength is extremely heaven-defying, then that person alone can win the entire competition.

But saying that is one thing, yet in fact, if you want to guard the arena until the end, it is very difficult to do.

First, because everyone is an ordinary person, even retired personnel are ordinary people, just that their endurance is slightly more persistent, their movements are more agile and flexible, and their ability to withstand strikes is stronger.

But what must be known is that they are facing their own kind, and also people who are outstanding in their respective teams.

Second, the rules are also very strict: fragile places like the throat, back of the head, and crotch cannot be touched. That is to say, fighting in this situation is definitely a serious war of attrition.

Then, in a situation of bare-handed fighting, one person's physical stamina is very difficult to sustain continuous fighting.

Therefore, under various constraints, the occurrence of one person continuously knocking down several people with bare hands cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is definitely very rare.

To use an old saying to describe it, "Everyone has two shoulders carrying one head, who is afraid of whom?"

After the competition began, Shi Suo and one of the opponent's contestants walked towards the arena at the same time.

Calling it an arena is actually just an empty space with a circle drawn on it. The area is not large, but not small, with a diameter of about 6 meters.

As long as one side is knocked out of the circle, or within 6 minutes, whoever falls to the ground more times loses.

One has to admit that for this type of fighting method, people with poor physical stamina wouldn't be able to persist through a single match.

After the referee shouted "Begin," the two rushed towards each other simultaneously.

At the beginning, because both had very sufficient physical stamina, they still looked quite watchable, and they fought very fast.

You give me a punch, I kick you a kick, basically indistinguishable.

But two minutes later, the physical stamina of the two began to decline, and their respective strengths and weaknesses were exposed.

Shi Suo's strength was that his ability to withstand strikes was relatively strong, but his physical agility was average; the opponent's strength was physical flexibility, but his ability to withstand strikes was average.

The opponent hit Shi Suo three times, and Shi Suo hit the opponent twice.

So the feeling given was that the opponent occupied the upper hand, while Shi Suo was always in a state of being beaten in the lower hand.

Those who knew the inside story knew that Shi Suo practiced hard qigong, so taking a few more hits was not a problem.

When the time reached 3-plus minutes, the opponent's attack power was clearly insufficient.

To say this is also normal; anyone who keeps attacking like this would be exhausted.

However, at this moment, Shi Suo's body was already full of dust marks and half-practiced footprints.

From this, it could be seen how many times Shi Suo had been attacked.

Fortunately, Shi Suo was still the same, as if the opponent's previous punches and kicks had no impact on him at all, and he was still occasionally throwing a punch or kicking a kick.

To tell the truth, this scene looked quite funny. The opponent kept moving his steps to change his figure and retreat, while Shi Suo kept approaching the opponent like an old ox.

When the opponent was forced to the boundary line, the opponent would quickly jump and change direction to continue retreating, while Shi Suo still approached without haste.

It could be seen that Shi Suo had been waiting for an opportunity.

Finally, when the time reached four-plus minutes, the opponent couldn't jump anymore and wanted to use a move of "Black Dragon Wags Its Tail" to force Shi Suo back.

As soon as the opponent's move was used, Shi Suo immediately saw his eyes light up and directly used a move of "Poison Dragon Exits the Cave," which is to chop the leg and hit the chest.

It could be seen that because Wang An had used this move on Shi Suo before and kicked Shi Suo into having internal injuries, it directly made Shi Suo completely learn his lesson.

Thanks to "Black Ox Brother" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Wishing you, big brother, good luck all the time and great wealth every day!
