Chapter 233: Don't Be Too Forceful

"Mm." Xu Tian nodded, indicating that he was listening seriously.

"One-hit kill, as the name suggests, is to end the battle at the fastest speed, instantly subdue the enemy, and if the means are ruthless, it can even directly kill the other party."

Hearing this, Xu Tian was silent for a long time and asked: "What you said is powerful, but what if you encounter modern thermal weapons?"

Bai Lu: "..."

If you want to learn thermal weapons, go to the shooting range! What's the use of coming to the martial arts hall?

"Thermal weapons are of course more lethal, but those top martial artists can also use speed to dodge bullet attacks."

"Then what if it's an atomic bomb?" Xu Tian asked seriously again.

He really wasn't arguing, but curious.

In today's modern society, even wars between countries don't require soldiers to go to the front line themselves.

A few missiles are enough to destroy a city.

If the highest realm of martial arts cannot stop thermal weapons, will it be eliminated by the times?

"Of course not!" Bai Lu frowned tightly, seemingly thinking about how to explain it to Xu Tian.

After a while, he finally said.

"Although thermal weapons are extremely lethal, they also have many limitations."

"Pistols and submachine guns need to change bullets halfway, and they are not convenient to carry. If you go to certain public places, you probably won't even be able to pass the security check with those things."

Xu Tian: "What you said makes sense, but these problems are not problems for real masters, right? For example, the video of changing magazines in five seconds on the Internet before..."

"Cough, Mr. Xu, this is a bit off-topic. After all, you can't carry a submachine gun with you when you go out now, let's start class first!"

Bai Lu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Xu Tian's questions really made him hard to handle.

And just as the two were preparing to practice, shadow guards came in one after another to train. Seeing Bai Lu, they shouted loudly one after another.

"Good morning, Commander Bai!"

Clearly, it was a greeting, but this title sounded exceptionally sarcastic when it came out of their mouths.

Bai Lu frowned and ignored this low-level provocation.

But those people refused to stop while they were ahead.

"Tsk, just became commander, and you're starting to put on airs with us?"

"Hehe, his strength is not even one-tenth of Sister Xiaoxiao's. This commander position definitely won't last long!"

"I think his mind is not on training either. The trial is coming up, but he's hanging out with the kid named Xu. Could it be that he wants that pretty boy to blow pillow talk to the Eldest Young Lady and go through the back door?"

"Our Eldest Young Lady is famous for being impartial. It's impossible to go through the back door for someone. Bai Lu has no strength, and it's useless to just please the master."

These shadow guards relied on their large numbers and became increasingly unscrupulous. Some even didn't spare Xu Tian, feeling implicitly or explicitly that Xu Tian would go through the back door for Bai Lu.

"But that pretty boy doesn't seem as useless as he looks... Didn't he beat Sister Xiaoxiao and Xiao Can and the others last time?"

"Hehe, maybe Bai Lu is here to ask the pretty boy how to improve his strength!"

"Stop joking, he just had good luck, and he was stimulated that night. Don't you know that a blind punch can kill a master?"

"And Chen Xiaoxiao and the others didn't dare to really move against Xu Tian. If they injured him, how would they explain it to the Eldest Young Lady?"

"If Xu Tian wasn't relying on the Eldest Young Lady's support, he would probably have been beaten black and blue by Chen Xiaoxiao long ago, to the point where his parents wouldn't recognize him."

"I really feel sorry for Goddess Xiao. She is the Tang family's top shadow guard and has made countless contributions to the Tang family. Now she has actually been reduced to being bullied by a pretty boy, and even removed from her post because of him. Even I feel aggrieved for her."

These shadow guards were either Chen Xiaoxiao's followers or didn't like Xu Tian, so naturally, they didn't have anything good to say when they gathered together.

Moreover, they didn't have any reservations about Bai Lu when they were gossiping, and some even deliberately raised their volume to stimulate him.

Bai Lu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth tightly.

Although he was indignant in his heart, he couldn't refute it.

After all, he really couldn't beat Chen Xiaoxiao, and he couldn't keep the commander position in the competition with the other party.

Regarding Chen Xiaoxiao picking a few more good newcomers, it was just to cultivate her own strength to compete with these old squad leaders.

If one of them really had extraordinary talent, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to keep his position as first squad leader.

If he even had his squad leader position taken away by someone else, how would he stand in the Tang family in the future?

"Don't pay attention to those people." Seeing Bai Lu's bad expression, Xu Tian comforted him.

"They only know how to say sarcastic things. When it really comes to the trial, they won't even have the qualifications to compete."

He had heard too many similar words both before and after his rebirth. If he took everyone's words to heart, he would probably have been depressed to death long ago.

He always understood one truth: never waste time and energy on people who are not worth it, and even less need to take their words to heart.

"Bai Lu, I believe you have strength. Don't let irrelevant people affect your mood."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, I will work hard." After listening to Xu Tian's comfort, Bai Lu smiled reluctantly, but it was obvious that he was still affected by those rumors.

"There are too many people here, let's go to another training room." To keep Bai Lu from being distracted, Xu Tian suggested.

"Mm." Bai Lu nodded and took Xu Tian to another training ground.

"Boss!"

"Captain!"

The shadow guards of the first squad greeted Bai Lu after seeing him.

These people were the team members under Bai Lu, so naturally, they stood firmly on his side.

Immediately, they also greeted Xu Tian.

"Hello everyone." Xu Tian nodded and responded one by one.

"Boss, do you want to use the training ground?"

"Mm, I want to teach Mr. Xu basic combat techniques. You guys go train somewhere else first."

"Alright, we happen to be resting for a while too."

Those team members didn't leave but sat outside the field to drink water and rest, and at the same time, they were all curious about how Bai Lu would teach Xu Tian.

"Mr. Xu, today I will teach you some basics first." Bai Lu thought about it. Given that Xu Tian was a layman, it was better not to teach moves that were too difficult for the first lesson.

"Mm." Xu Tian nodded, showing a look of listening seriously.

"You attack me now." Bai Lu stood in a horse stance in front of Xu Tian.

"Can I attack however I want?" Xu Tian asked: "I don't know any of your moves."

"It's okay, I'm mainly demonstrating to you how to defend and protect yourself." Bai Lu explained: "If a martial artist can't even protect himself, how can he talk about attacking others?"

"Alright, I understand."

Xu Tian took a deep breath, and just as he was about to move, he saw Bai Lu immediately reach out and make a pause gesture.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Xu Tian was confused.

"Mr. Xu, when you hit me, don't be too forceful..." ===== CHAPTER 234 =====
