Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu came to his senses and hurriedly tried to go over to help Brother Liu, but the man did a somersault and stood up.

"You really only studied martial arts for two years?"

"It's absolutely true. When I met the old man, I had never been exposed to martial arts..."

Brother Liu turned to look at the old man, and the old man nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case. Whether it was Chen Xu's physique that seemed to be able to fly away with a gust of wind or the information he had investigated, it all showed that Chen Xu started practicing martial arts after he met Lin Chan.

To say two years is actually too much, it should be said that it is less than two years.

Brother Liu felt that this was totally unreasonable. If the progress continued at this rate, how incredible would Chen Xu's talent have to be!

He learned military fighting skills, and sparring was very restrictive for him, so he couldn't use many killing moves, but he still had some understanding of martial arts.

The most important thing is that the physical fitness displayed by Chen Xu was too exaggerated. He even suspected that Chen Xu did not use his full strength just now. Not to mention two years, it is rare to find a martial artist who can train to Chen Xu's current level within ten years.

"I admit defeat. I'll challenge you next time."

Brother Liu wanted to continue, but although the part of his arm that was bitten by the tiger's mouth had regained sensation, he was completely unable to exert any strength. Looking at the shocking purple fingerprints left by Chen Xu on it, he shook his head helplessly, and estimated that he would have to rest for a few days.

Chen Xu nodded. It was good to practice and stretch his muscles occasionally. Chen Xu thought to himself that he should use less strength next time. Just now he only used 70% of his strength, but the result was completely beyond his imagination.

No wonder I hit the enemy spy leader's head with a brick and dented it...

Brother Liu didn't take it seriously. He had suffered many minor injuries during training. He was just a little depressed. Although he was an all-rounder, close combat only accounted for a small part of his strength.

But for a martial arts fanatic like him, it was somewhat hard to accept that half of his fighting power was destroyed with just three punches and two kicks.

He was not discouraged at all. He also found that he did not understand the martial arts moves well enough, which led to his heavy loss when he blocked with his hands. If he had chosen to dodge at that time, Chen Xu would not have been able to defeat him so quickly.

This is how it is when experts compete with each other. A slight negligence can lead to a complete loss. Once the opponent finds a flaw, they will never give you a chance to counterattack.

If Chen Xu had used all his strength just now, one of Brother Liu's hands would have been completely disabled.

The people watching the fight were a little bit unbelievable. Compared to when they thought Chen Xu might have a hard time winning, to now when he won the fight in less than ten seconds, the contrast was quite big.

The old man saw something, and said to Mr. Liu next to him with a smile.

"It's not unfair for your grandson to lose. I checked. The martial arts that Chen Xu learned was very famous in the early years. It was one of the top ten martial arts. What's more, Chen Xu has a really good talent for martial arts. Your kid doesn't seem to have any experience fighting against martial artists..."

"It's hard to say. This kid of ours was careless and stubborn. Dealing with warriors is not like dealing with enemies on the other side of the battlefield. They won't fight you head-on. Besides, this kid from the Chen family is really fast. I just saw his figure flash a few times and it was over."

Old Liu didn't care that his eldest grandson was injured. For soldiers of that era, such an injury was nothing and he could just go back and apply some medicine.

Brother Li next to him felt a little hot on his back. He had just been thinking about waiting until the sparring was over before going up to practice himself, but now it seems he decided not to give up.

He has sparred with Brother Liu more than once or twice, but he has never won since he was a child. As a result, his old rival couldn't even last ten seconds against Chen Xu. It would be better for him not to go up and embarrass himself.

Everyone knew that Lin Chan was very strong, but they never expected that Chen Xu was also someone who should not be underestimated.

The old man looked a little regretful. With Chen Xu's talent, if he were in ancient times, he would at least be a famous hero, if not a general.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

No matter how skilled a fighter is, he won't have much chance of survival if he's pointed at by several guns.

Watching the two people walk back into the house, Brother Li felt a little gloating.

"You have come to this day..."

"Do you believe that I can still knock you down now?"

"Forehead..."

Brother Li got stuck, as if he was thinking of some bad things in the past.

Chen Xu found it funny, these two guys were actually a bit similar to Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, but their relationship was not that stiff, on the contrary, they got along very well, a bit like good friends.

Brother Li's wife went into the house to get the medicine. Brother Liu didn't hesitate and applied it himself while asking Chen Xu.

"Do you think it would be too late if I practiced a martial art now?"

"It might work."

Chen Xu couldn't guarantee it. In fact, he was quite curious. With Brother Liu being such a martial arts fanatic, why didn't he learn Chinese martial arts? After all, even Qu Jiu had learned the [Bagua Youshen Palm].

After expressing his doubts, Brother Liu felt a little depressed, and Brother Li next to him directly explained the reason.

"In fact, we used to yearn to learn martial arts, but later we found that most of them were just fancy moves, and it was better to just use the tortoise fist, so we didn't take it seriously. Later, we joined the army and learned military boxing, and we had even less time to learn martial arts..."

Brother Li's tone sounded somewhat regretful. Given their family's status, it wasn't difficult for them to learn a good martial art.

Later, when I joined the army, I also met some soldiers who joined the army with special skills, and they did have an advantage in close combat.

Unfortunately, I was already quite old at that time, and I had been running around during those years in the army, so I had no time to practice martial arts. It’s a bit regrettable to say.

It is not surprising that Brother Liu is now thinking about practicing martial arts again. For special departments like theirs, practicing martial arts is still very useful. After all, it is often used in their work.

Compared to those moves, practicing martial arts can better improve the body's coordination and so on.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person can only exert no more than 50% of his or her full strength. A well-trained warrior may be able to reach about 70%, and if one has mastered martial arts, he or she can fully exert his or her full strength.

It is very rare to find a monster like Lin Chan who can exert several hundred percent of his power.

Skills are sometimes really useful. For example, with a move like the whip kick, it is not impossible for a person who is proficient in it to exert tons of force with one whip kick.

In his previous life, Chen Xu had heard about the K1 kick king Peter Arthur in fighting competitions, whose maximum whip kick force reached 836 kilograms. Chen Xu's physical fitness was definitely at the peak of human strength, and the force he could exert was not less than this one.

In terms of strength alone, Lin Chan might not be a match for Chen Xu. Even when Chen Xu occasionally played with Xiao Hei, he found that he seemed to be not much weaker than Xiao Hei in strength.

Compared to the past when he was completely unable to shake Xiao Hei, now he has the strength to fight. Although he still can't win, he is obviously much stronger than last year.

Chen Xu felt like Saitama with the limiter turned on. His progress has been obvious, and he still hasn't seen where his limit is.
