Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

"I hope so..."

Chen Xu did not exaggerate. After all, the history he knew was only from his previous life. Moreover, this world was somewhat different from his original world. Maybe now that the country has paid attention to it, the disaster has eased.

Xu Damao nodded in agreement. After all, with so many people working to repair the water conservancy projects, it must be helpful.

The two of them tacitly did not continue this topic. After all, what difference did they make even if they knew? Human power is limited. Not to mention Xu Damao, even Chen Xu, the master of the world, could not face the natural disasters in the real world. The best he could do was to protect himself.

Moreover, if other people heard what the two of them said, they might accuse him of spreading rumors.

Chen Xu left the steel mill directly and planned to go to the old man to pay New Year's greetings.

The bad thing about the short Spring Festival holiday is that it is only the third day of the New Year, but the steel rolling mill has already started work. A lot of time was wasted in the morning because of the mobilization meeting held in the factory. When Chen Xu went to the old man, it was already afternoon.

I had originally planned to go there yesterday, but I was busy sweeping snow and cleaning the roof and got delayed, so I decided to go there this afternoon.

There was still heavy snow falling from the sky, and it seemed like it would never end.

Chen Xu did not bring Lin Chan with him. He asked her and his mother-in-law to stay at home and went to pay New Year's greetings alone.

Actually, he doesn't have many social contacts in this world. The old man is one of them, there are a few in the courtyard, a few in the factory, and finally the people in his hometown. There are really not many people he needs to wish to celebrate the New Year.

Another one is Lao Zhou. Chen Xu doesn’t even know where this guy lives. He is very mysterious.

Unexpectedly, I saw a lot of familiar faces in the old man’s house, such as Mr. Liu, his eldest grandson, and Director Li’s wife.

This was the first time Chen Xu saw Brother Li’s wife. She looked very dignified. After hearing Brother Li’s introduction, he learned that she worked at the People’s Daily.

The old man was not surprised that Chen Xu came over. In fact, most of those people in the military compound had only a few people at home. After all, the Li family and the Liu family were old friends with an unpredictable relationship. They even celebrated the New Year together. Anyway, there were only a few people in total.

Before we had even started chatting for a few minutes, someone came to the door.

"Would you like to have a sparring match? It's boring anyway..."

Chen Xu was speechless as he looked at the man in front of him who had a fighting look on his face.

You're just bored, I'm not bored...

Last time, Chen Xu slapped this brother surnamed Liu into a pig's head. Twice when he saw him, this guy said he would find a chance to fight with him. Chen Xu didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that he would find the opportunity now.

The two old men drinking tea nearby became interested. They knew that Chen Xu's wife was very strong, but they had no idea about Chen Xu himself.

Chen Xu's combat record was actually quite good. He easily defeated two military district kids in a one-on-two fight, killed an enemy spy with a brick, and later knocked down two Japanese spies. His record was outstanding.

If the matter of the two Japanese spies had not been dealt with yet, Chen Xu would probably have to be in the spotlight again.

It was obvious that Chen Xu was a martial artist, although according to their investigation, he had only been learning for less than two years.

As for Old Liu's eldest grandson, he can be said to have been through many battles. He loved wielding guns and sticks since he was a child and had fought many times. Later, after serving in the army and being discharged from the army, he joined a special department, but his martial arts fanatic nature remained unchanged.

In this comparison, Chen Xu seems to have no chance of winning.

After all, most people who practice martial arts nowadays are just trying to keep fit and have no actual combat experience. After all, not everyone can practice with tigers all day long like that tiger woman Lin Chan...

Chen Xu hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded in agreement. He also wanted to try his current level.

In the small courtyard, the snow was still falling heavily, and the two stood face to face.

Brother Liu was doing the starting stance of military boxing, while Chen Xu was looking around a bit unaccustomed to it, trying to find a weapon...

Thinking that this was a sparring match, Chen Xu managed to resist the urge to pick up a brick and assumed the starting stance of the Tiger Form Cannon Fist.

The tiger claw of his left hand moved forward, followed by the tiger cannon of his right hand. Chen Xu's aura suddenly changed, and his strong force burst out instantly. The powerful kinetic energy brought snowflakes all over the sky and rushed towards Brother Liu.

It is the tiger-shaped killing move of the Three Emperors' Cannon and Hammer [Resembling a fierce tiger that scares gods and ghosts], which is mainly used to shock and frighten.

"Well come."

Faced with Chen Xu's sudden outburst of unsportsmanlike behavior, Brother Liu was not surprised, and even felt somewhat accustomed to it. None of the enemies he faced had any sense of martial ethics, and those serious sparring sessions made him feel uncomfortable.

Facing Chen Xu's Tiger Cannon Fist that was almost within reach, Brother Liu did not retreat but instead advanced and directly countered with a heavy punch, demonstrating his fierce military style of fighting to the fullest.

Unfortunately, Chen Xu would not fight him head-on. He still twisted his waist easily while exercising extremely hard. In the eyes of the people watching the fight nearby, Chen Xu was really no different from a tiger. Even his waist-twisting movements were exactly the same as a tiger's.

Easily dodging Brother Liu's powerful punch, the tiger claw instantly turned into a tiger mouth and then slapped Brother Liu's forehead. The tiger's three killer moves, one pounce, two bites and three tail swings, Chen Xu used the one pounce, two bites momentum in succession in a short period of time, aiming to solve the opponent cleanly and neatly.

Brother Li next to him broke out in a cold sweat. How could he not know that this kid Chen Xu was so fierce and was fighting with all his might?

Fortunately, Brother Liu was not the kind of person who liked to dilly-dally. He was very satisfied with Chen Xu's performance. However, he obviously had little experience in dealing with martial artists. Facing Chen Xu's quick changes in moves and the tiger palm that was about to hit his forehead with wind and snow, he instinctively chose to retract his arms to block.

This is the strength of martial artists. Their various moves can actually restrain such a straightforward opponent. If an old martial artist saw this scene, he would probably just shake his head and say, "You can't block it..."

Tiger Claws Transformed into Mouth, this move was meant to go straight to the forehead, and the key was that if you tried to block it with your hand, you would be sending your arm into the opponent's tiger's mouth.

Either dodge or get hurt. Using your arms to block is the lowest level of response.

Brother Liu's face changed drastically when his forearm was bitten by the tiger's mouth. Chen Xu's strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person, and coupled with the bite of the tiger's mouth of the tiger-shaped cannon fist, Chen Xu even used the technique of hidden strength to directly penetrate the muscle defense.

Brother Liu could even hear the bones of his arm creaking at that moment, and the blocking arm instantly lost consciousness. Without a second thought, he knew that sitting and waiting to die was not his style, so he ignored his controlled right hand and hit Chen Xu's forehead with his left hand.

Chen Xu laughed, held Brother Liu's arm, tilted his head, lowered his body, and swept out with his right leg like a tiger's tail.

The tiger's last move, tail swinging, has been used.

The fight between the two was actually very fast, lasting less than ten seconds at most.

The outcome of a fight between masters is basically decided in a split second. Those that fight for three hundred rounds are basically just storytelling, as human physical strength is simply not enough to sustain such a long period of consumption.

In the past, people have done scientific research and found that a well-trained person can only last less than a minute when exerting all his strength.

Like the ancient wars that lasted from noon till dark, it was more about deploying troops and attacking in batches. It was also a test of willpower. If you really had to swing weapons continuously for several hours, not only ordinary soldiers, but even Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, could not do it.

Brother Liu was caught off guard and had one of his hands temporarily disabled by Chen Xu. He didn't expect that Chen Xu would change his moves so quickly. He was swept away by the tiger's tail and fell heavily on the snow.

Chen Xu himself was a little dazed. Has he become so strong?
