Global Martial Arts: Slaughter to Become Emperor

Chapter 21 Practical Application

"How about it, Hao'er? Now you realize how inexperienced you are, right? Even if someone tells you about this kind of practical experience, it won't be of much use. Anything can happen in real combat."

Lu Hao nodded. Indeed, after this actual battle, he also felt his shortcomings. Although he was very proficient in his combat techniques, they were fixed moves.

The real battle never has a fixed outcome; until the very last moment, no one knows what the result will be. The process is complex and ever-changing.

"Mom, I understand my shortcomings now, and I will work harder from now on."

Lu Hao said.

"Hao'er, don't be too discouraged. You're still young. Most of the martial artists you've fought are middle-aged. They've been stuck at this stage for who knows how long."

"Since they can't advance in rank, they'll try everything to enhance their combat power. Although it's not as good as what they're taught in school, their combat power is still quite good."

"Once you've played a few more matches and gotten used to it, you'll be able to crush them with the help of the system's tutorial resources."

Lu Hao nodded in agreement.

Next up was not Lu Hao's battle, but he no longer intended to watch as a spectator. Instead, he pondered what he would do if he were in the thick of it.

Watching these people fight, I learned their combat techniques and how to prevent various underhanded tactics.

After watching three or four battles, Lu Hao took the stage again. After adjusting himself, Lu Hao went backstage.

"Please welcome the two teams to the stage."

"A high-level, first-rank martial artist, Falcon!"

As the announcer spoke on the stage, a man with effeminate features walked up, holding a dagger.

"First-grade low-level warrior, Blood Blade!"

Lu Hao immediately noticed the weapon in the opponent's hand. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen someone use a dagger in all the battles he had watched.

After all, this is a duel arena, not the wilderness. Using such a short weapon here is already a disadvantage. Looking at the opponent's situation, he should have tempered lower limb bones and be following an assassin-like path.

Lu Hao analyzed the situation on the other side and decided on the best way to defeat them.

With the referee's whistle...

"start"

Lu Hao immediately used the Void Stance Technique to close the distance between the two of them by borrowing force in the void. After all, he was facing an opponent who used short weapons, so closing the distance was an advantage for him.

After the referee gave the order, the Falcon on the opposite side did not choose to distance itself from Lu Hao, but instead charged straight at him.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Hao was in front of Falcon. He unleashed a leg technique mid-air, preparing to kick Falcon out of the arena.

As Lu Hao's right leg landed, the Falcon opposite him immediately pushed off the ground with his left leg, jumped up, and kicked Lu Hao with his right leg as well.

Bump,

With a bang, Lu Hao's leg collided with Falcon's leg. Lu Hao originally thought that his explosive attack could directly disable the opponent's combat power.

As a result, at the moment their qi and blood exploded, the opponent also unleashed a burst of qi and blood, and the two were evenly matched.

Lu Hao landed from mid-air. He hadn't expected that the seemingly effeminate man opposite him would be just as skilled in leg techniques as him.

Although the man wasn't using standard, basic leg techniques, the fact that he could generate explosive power shows that he had studied leg techniques in great depth.

Seeing that his leg techniques couldn't defeat Lu Hao, the effeminate man opposite him charged forward with a dagger in his right hand. Upon seeing this, Lu Hao also picked up his large ring-bladed sword, ready to fight with weapons.

As a result, the effeminate man shot the dagger at Lu Hao just before he reached him.

Lu Hao quickly dodged

As a result, while he was dodging, the effeminate man rushed up and kicked out. Seeing this, Lu Hao quickly placed his large ring-bladed sword horizontally to block the man's explosive kick.

With a bang,

Lu Hao retreated a few meters to dissipate the force. Although the large ring blade blocked the opponent's point explosion, the shock made his tiger's mouth hurt. Lu Hao looked down and saw that his hand had been shaken open with several cuts.

This is because Lu Hao's upper limbs have not been tempered and cannot withstand such a shock of qi and blood. If Lu Hao had chosen to temper his upper limbs, he would not have been able to withstand the shock by breaking his hand.

Seeing this, the effeminate man on the other side took advantage of Lu Hao's suppression and quickly continued his attack.

Seeing this, Lu Hao didn't have time to adjust. He quickly took a step back and circulated his qi and blood to strengthen the large ring blade.

Seeing that his first move had failed, the effeminate man opposite him did not retreat. Instead, he pressed on, determined to defeat Lu Hao. He shifted his stance and kicked out with his other foot.

He believed that if this kick landed, his opponent would be completely incapacitated. He had abandoned the tempering of his large bones and completed the tempering of all the bones in his feet.

Seeing this, Lu Hao drew his knife and charged forward.

The effeminate man did not dodge. Although the weapons provided by the dueling arena could break through his defenses, they could not cause him much damage. On the contrary, if this kick landed, Lu Hao would be powerless to fight.

Lu Hao let out a low roar, gathering his blood and qi on the blade, and slashed at the effeminate man's kicking foot.

"Bang, clang"

Just as Lu Hao's knife touched the effeminate man's foot, the explosion on the other side erupted first, exploding in front of Lu Hao. Blood spurted from Lu Hao's face from the blast, but Lu Hao did not back down.

As he continued to slash, Lu Hao immediately felt a subtle resistance, but as he concentrated his qi and blood, he still managed to slash down.

Flesh and blood shattered on Lu Hao's face.

"Ah, my legs, I give up, I give up!"

With a scream, Lu Hao turned around and saw that the effeminate man's leg had been split in half, rendering him useless. After all, this strike had consumed a quarter of Lu Hao's vital energy, coupled with the techniques from the "Blood War Mad Blade" manual.

This outcome was within Lu Hao's expectations.

Hearing that the effeminate man had admitted defeat, Lu Hao stood aside and stopped attacking, watching the effeminate man wail in pain with only one leg left.

Lu Hao didn't feel sorry for him. After all, once you're on the stage, you're responsible for your own life and death. The effeminate man was at least still alive. If he hadn't blocked the effeminate man's explosive attack in time, he would probably be lying there groaning in pain right now.

Lu Hao, carrying his large ring-bladed sword, stepped off the stage amidst the cheers of the audience.

As soon as Lu Hao came out from backstage, he saw his mother standing there waiting for him. Before he could say anything, a pill was stuffed into his mouth.

Judging from the taste, Lu Hao could tell that this was a healing pill.

"Mom, it's just a minor injury, I don't need any healing pills."

Lu Hao said with a wry smile, after all, his injuries were just minor cuts and bruises, and if he hadn't taken this healing pill, they might have healed on their own in a while.

"Hao'er, our family isn't short of healing pills. I'm just worried you might have some hidden injuries, so it's safer to take one."

Bai Qiuyao said that although she had done a lot of mental preparation, she couldn't bear to see Lu Hao get beaten back and injured on the stage. If it weren't for Viper stopping her, she might have already left the stage.
