Insufficient balance

  I was fooled again!

  Chang Sun Ting's legwork practice should be Southern-style martial arts, continuing the combat style of Bruce Lee with fast, short and accurate as the keynote. When I suddenly woke up, his left leg had already kicked my waist solidly.

  Even if I had thick skin, I was almost kicked by Zhangsun Ting to the point of vomiting yellow water. This guy actually still had the nerve to glare at me and scold: "You big fool, do you think your enemies only have two hands to use? Just now, if we were fighting for our lives, you would already be done for. On the battlefield, with just a slight carelessness, you'd end up being carried back on a stretcher!"

  I finally couldn't help but glare at him with wide eyes, shouting: "It was you who told me to stare at your arms, who knew that this instructor would suddenly come up with something new? And when did you ever teach me how to use Aikido to counterattack against kicks?"

  Chang Sun Ting chuckled and said in a low voice: "Alright, let's continue practicing the counterattack against boxing with the 'Cutting Water' technique... Straight Fist!"

  My hands involuntarily rose, and I watched as Zhang Sun Ting's heavy fist was about to land on the defensive net formed by my arms. A sly smile of triumph floated at the corner of his mouth, and my heart stirred with a sense of foreboding. Sure enough, this guy let out a sinister laugh, and his punching route suddenly changed from straight to curved, easily bypassing my arms and landing a punch on my face.

  "It's a straight punch... don't be ridiculous!" Zhang Sun Ting looked at me with disdain and said: "On the battlefield, it's not like sparring with your brothers in the same school. Which enemy will tell you his true intentions? The words spoken are just to interfere with your mind and trigger your physical instincts, it's just a tactic! You must learn to use your heart's eye to observe the enemy's mind and analyze their true intentions!"

  I wiped away the bloodstain from the corner of my mouth and shouted: "Alright, you're right! Let's go again!"

  "Hmm!" Zhang Sun Ting nodded in satisfaction: "To become a treasured sword, one must be able to withstand repeated hammering... a straight punch!"

  According to his concept, this punch might be a straight punch, a swing punch or even a hook punch. He might also throw out a combination of punches. Of course, he might also prepare to kick secretly, whether it's a side kick, a spinning kick or a swing kick is unknown... I stared intently at Long Sun Ting who was rushing over, my eyes emitting a cold and fierce glow, staring until Long Sun Ting felt his heart turn cold.

  As Zhang Sun Ting rushed in front of me within a two-meter distance, just about to enter the effective range of leg law attacks, I suddenly let out a loud roar: "Look at my move!"

  I sprang up at an angle, executing a ninety-degree spin, and with a vigorous twist of my waist, my right leg kicked out fiercely, my body fully extending as I pulled off a nearly perfect aerial reverse side somersault kick!

  Unexpected, absolutely unexpected!

  Chang Sun Ting was caught off guard by this unexpected blow and, under the influence of inertia, he irresistibly rushed into my attacking range. He stared blankly as my leg kicked straight into his chest, followed by an unstoppable surge of power that sent him flying backwards, airborne, despite being fifteen centimeters taller than me.

  I gazed pitifully at Chang Sun-ting, who had been kicked seven or eight meters away and was struggling to get up. I let out a long sigh and said: "Brother, think about it, will your enemies on the battlefield only use one clumsy move that they haven't even mastered yet? If your thinking is stuck in a rigid pattern, you're done for! On the battlefield, if you're slightly careless, you'll end up being carried back with a national flag draped over you!"

  Seeing Zhang Sun Ting get angry and roll her eyes, I feel really relieved!

  It is said that the first to take action has the upper hand, while the second will suffer the consequences. There's also an old saying that proves attacking when least expected can be effective. I suddenly launched a surprise attack, but unexpectedly found out that Chang Sun Ting almost simultaneously charged out and declared war on me without warning. The two of us are indeed equally bad to the bone, no wonder we get along so well!

  "Bang bang bang bang......"

  The two of us had barely made contact before we were using every trick in the book: boxing, karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, women's self-defense - you name it. We didn't hold back, not even a little bit. As for Aikido, forget about it. The idea of using stillness to overcome movement and waiting for an opening to counterattack? Our coach, Zhang Songting, couldn't even do that right. It was like we were two lunatics, beating each other senseless. We threw caution to the wind, abandoning all defense, and our battle cry was surprisingly similar: attack is the best defense! The only way to win is to knock your opponent to the ground!

  Fists like a raging wind, legs like a sudden rain. In just a moment, we won't know how many punches and kicks we've taken from each other. Anyway, Long Sun Ting has already been thoroughly beaten by me into a pig's head, I believe I'm not much better off either.

  The pig head opposite him actually smiled and said: "It's really enjoyable, damn it...".

  Are you trying to play mind games with me? Shut up!

  I swiftly threw out a punch, taking the risk of being kicked in both legs and hit by one punch, finally heavily hitting that mouth which was like a woman's, chattering incessantly. This is an experience I gained at the cost of blood; when dueling with a truly strong opponent, anything can be used as a weapon. If your little brother is hard and long enough, it can be used to whip people, and it doesn't matter if you give the opponent a sudden surprise. If the opponent is a woman, directly attacking her vital parts also counts as being strong enough. The only thing not to do is to speak nonsense; a true strong person must possess mountain-like heavy confidence and courage, which those four small hoodlums he fought alone cannot compare with?

  Sweat and blood kept flying off the two of us, and in no time, a group of soldiers gathered around us, watching from twenty meters away. No one dared to come up and stop us, nor did anyone cheer. In fact, every single one of them looked at us with eyes that seemed to be staring at two completely crazed and ferocious wild beasts.

  We are like two wild warriors emerging from the primitive era, pouring out our most ferocious attacks without mercy. We both hope that each other can become stronger before the war and come back alive from the battlefield! So we need to enhance our abilities. Since no one can teach us fighting skills, we have to create our own combat techniques through mutual battering!

  Chang Sun Ting is fifteen centimeters taller than me and weighs twenty kilograms more, launching a powerful attack from a superior position, giving me a strong sense of oppression. Moreover, his fists are swung downwards, which saves him physical strength. When we entered the final confrontation of physical strength and willpower, I knew I was going to lose. In fact, I could hold on for so long because Chang Sun Ting and I could still encourage each other in battle, drawing from each other's unyielding fighting spirit, and gradually igniting the passion for life hidden within our bodies.

  My eyes were hit by Chang Sun Ting's fists several times, and Chang Sun Ting had already turned into four or five in front of me. More than half of my punches went out and landed on empty space. As time passed, the parts of my body that were injured from being punched began to ache vaguely. In the end, every punch I swung would bring with it hundreds of muscles groaning together. Chang Sun Ting's heavy fists really weren't to be underestimated.

  The two of us suddenly stopped attacking at the same time, dragging our swaying bodies and staring fiercely at each other. We both read from each other's eyes an irresistible pain and fatigue. At this moment, whoever threw out one more heavy punch might be able to win the final victory.

  A faint smile rose from Zhangsun Ting's mouth, and he suddenly shouted: "Look at the fist!"

  His right fist tore through the brief space between us and came crashing down, this punch clearly gathering all his strength, his bull-like body also charging over like a shell.

  Damn it, I'm going to lose! Not to mention his desperate punch with all his might, even if he were to charge at me like a wild baseball player, I couldn't resist. As I stared at his fist flying straight towards my chest, I subconsciously raised my left hand and chopped down on his arm, although it lacked power but managed to hit the joint, causing his entire body to tremble slightly. It was as if we had rehearsed this move hundreds of times before - I naturally hooked my left hand around his right elbow, stepped forward with one foot to pin Long Sun-ting's leg in place, wrapped my right arm around his neck, and then used the last bit of brute strength in my body to charge forward and slam into him.

  The two of us were stuck together like a huge mountain crashing down to the ground, pounding and sending dust flying everywhere.

  I used an extremely easy-to-misinterpret action and lay on top of Zhang Sun Ting, panting and shouting: "You lose!"

  "Nonsense!" Zhang Sun Ting's neck stretched out, and he said with a straight face: "The last move you used was still the 'Knife- Water-Cutting' technique I taught you. As my apprentice, it's only natural that you wouldn't be any worse than me. In the end, I just lost to my own ultimate move, but even in defeat, there is honor! And if we were really on a battlefield, with your build and mine wrestling together, the one who would end up getting hurt would definitely be you!"

  I stared at this shameless guy with my eyes wide open, and suddenly we both burst out laughing loudly, leaving the people around us bewildered.

  "Fu Yuxue, Changsuntin, you two still have the nerve to laugh. During a state of high alert, you actually fought and brawled in the military camp, and even dared to resist the Military Police's enforcement! You'd better pack your bags and get out of here!"

  A furious roar exploded in our ears, and Long Sun Ting and I looked up to see the face that had demoted us to kitchen staff, now red with rage like a pig's liver. Lian Chang and Zhang Squad Leader stood behind him, pale and silent as cicadas in winter. Next to us lay seventeen or eighteen unconscious military police, several stretchers and medical soldiers also fell within the circle, probably trying to rush into the line of fire to rescue people, but unfortunately got caught up in it.

  Good heavens! Could it be that these people were knocked unconscious by Long Sun Ting and me during our "practice" fight? We've gotten into trouble again!

  It's just practicing martial arts, and we've gotten into such a big mess. We're really two geniuses! Two born idiots who have been in the army for only a few days and are already facing the fate of being expelled from the military.
