Cosmic Demon

Chapter 17 Small Group, Good Seedlings

"How can it be!"

Li Yuan never thought that he would lose, even though Qin Shi showed great resilience and physical fitness, as well as the ability to withstand falls.

But that was only because he had "extraordinary talent" and had learned old martial arts training methods, which led to a significant improvement.

In real combat, relying solely on brute force and thick skin is not enough to ensure victory.

Offensive and defensive awareness, battle rhythm, and the degree of control over oneself are the secrets to defeating the enemy!

Li Yuan was very sure that Qin Shi was slightly ahead in the last item.

But the first two items are definitely lagging behind, with a clear gap between me and myself.

"Brother Yuan, what you said really works!"

Qin Shi took off his protective gear and gloves, pulled up Li Yuan who was lying on the cushion, and spoke excitedly:
"Watch your opponent's shoulders, grasp the direction of his attack, and increase your reaction speed! It's so effective!"

His happiness and joy were not just a pretense to alleviate Li Yuan's embarrassment.

After being knocked to the ground again and again and tasting the taste of failure, he suddenly wins victory with his own strength.

The exciting feeling of completing a game will indeed rush to the brain in an instant, providing a sense of satisfaction similar to the secretion of dopamine.

"You...are a quick learner."

The pain from being hit in the chest by a fist was nothing compared to the loss from the crushing defeat. Li Yuan gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out this compliment.

When he looked at Qin Shi, there was a hint of recognition and admiration in his eyes.

No wonder this kid is valued by Lao Liang and is trained privately every day.

In just a few hours, I progressed from zero basic skills to mastering the fighting method and learned how to judge the reality and landing points of the opponent's moves.

Even the opportunity to counterattack is seized so sharply!
This is a top student who truly has a talent for fighting!
"Fuck!"

Xie Yucheng's brain seemed to have crashed outside the court, and this was the only sentence he uttered.

"Brother Tianfu, you are so talented! How come you can remember those basic moves?
This really opened my eyes. Are all the students in Xinyi Middle School talented like you? "

Qin Shi took a breath and calmed his heartbeat.

Nearly thirteen sets of exhausting training, plus the physical awakening brought by [muscle memory], greatly shortened his learning costs.

The same course, relying on [deep sleep] to restore physical strength and [muscle memory] to quickly master.

I can probably surpass the other students standing at the starting line by four to five steps!

"It's mainly because Brother Yuan gave me great guidance. I have to thank you for being willing to practice with me, otherwise I wouldn't have made such rapid progress!"

This is true!

Li Yuan, who was originally feeling a little embarrassed and worried about becoming a laughing stock, suddenly looked much better.

He waved his hand:

"What are you talking about? Classmates should help each other. In the final analysis, Qin Shi, you are smart and have excellent physical fitness.

Are all the students in the metropolitan area as good as you?"

Qin Shi smiled:
“There are both top students and mediocre students everywhere. It’s just that educational resources are more concentrated in urban areas, so the number of top students is relatively large.

Brother Yuan, Brother Cheng, I think our learning ability is not inferior to theirs, and we are even better in terms of hard work. It’s just that we were born in the old factory street, the environment is not so good, and we don’t have the conditions.”

Quietly, he used the art of language to easily divide himself, Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng into the same camp, thereby bringing them closer together.

"Qin Shi, so you think so too! If the Old Factory Street had never declined, we would definitely be better than the top students in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area!"

Sure enough, Li Yuan, who was hostile to the urban circle, agreed greatly.

Especially the three words "no conditions", which hit the nail on the head.

This made him immediately regard Qin Shi as a fellow human being and become more friendly towards him.

"Oh, Brother Yuan, it's God's fault! These days, reincarnation is about ability. I'm studying in Xinyi Middle School, and I've often been looked down upon by the elite class!"

Qin Shi shook his head and sighed, giving Li Yuan enough emotional value.

He can understand very well the complex feelings that most of the children of workers who grew up in the old city have towards the Tai'an urban area.

It carries hostility, dissatisfaction and disgust, but also unconsciously reveals a hint of yearning, longing and desire.

Although I don’t like being a citizen of the metropolitan area, I also hope to be part of the group that obtains the right to reside in the metropolitan area.

"Elite? Pah! Just claiming to be superior!"

Li Yuan patted Qin Shi on the shoulder as if he had found a comrade-in-arms:

"Once you learn the fighting and training methods of the old martial arts, your vitality will surely increase dramatically, and you will beat up these rich kids who look down on others!" Xie Yucheng scratched his head, as if he was an outsider.

He didn't understand why Brother Yuan was so close to classmate Qin?

Is this what the old-era martial arts world said, "No fighting, no acquaintance"?

The atmosphere became so intense that Qin Shi spoke proudly:
"Brother Yuan, Brother Cheng, I received two boxes of nutritional paste today and haven't eaten them yet. Let's share them with everyone."

As a newcomer, the best way to turn an unfamiliar environment into a comfort zone is to integrate into a small group.

Although there is a saying that "cattle and sheep travel in herds, wild beasts always walk alone."

But as long as you are not deliberately excluded, targeted or bullied, it is not a bad thing to get along with your classmates.

More friends mean more paths, and there will always be a day when you will be useful.

This is the life experience Qin Shi gained from delivering goods in a sports car in his previous life.

"Thanks, Qin! I didn't do anything, I just benefited from Brother Yuan's help!"

"Ashi, I won't say any more polite words. If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to me!"

The relationships among peers during school days are mostly of two types: “get it” and “dislike it”.

Obviously, at this moment, Qin Shi has changed from the latter to the former in Li Yuan's eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded away, leaving only a few dim rays of light that had not yet dissipated.

They each put on a sweaty T-shirt, cleaned the training room, locked the door, and left together.

Lao Liang has always taught in this way, telling you what you need to learn and then leaving it alone.

What you can achieve depends entirely on your own efforts and persistence.

"At this time, Lao Liang must have gone to find a place to drink."

Looking at the empty and quiet corridor, Li Yuan muttered a few words and turned to greet Qin Shi:
"Ashi, I took advantage of your nutritional paste today, so you have to eat an extra meal tonight. I feel so embarrassed.

How about this, we take you to a place! Meet someone more powerful!"

Xie Yucheng, with a military green bag slung across his body, said with a smile:

"Brother Yuan, have you thought it through? Qin is a good boy, a good student of Xinyi Middle School, don't lead him astray."

Li Yuan snorted:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't take Ah Shi to the video hall to watch pornographic movies. We study boxing and fighting skills hard just to become stronger and not be bullied!

Knowing Brother Ze from Beiguan Street, if Ah Shi gets into trouble in the future, he won’t be afraid of no one to help him! "

Qin Shi listened to the conversation between the two and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Brother Yuan, Brother Cheng, where is the Beiguan Street you are talking about?"

Li Yuan raised his chin:

"There's a night market on Xingshun Road. Many people set up stalls to sell clothes. A magnificent bathing city was recently built... and it's under the protection of Brother Gui Ze now."

It sounds a bit like "Causeway Bay's Chen Haonan".

Qin Shi did not refuse. Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng did not behave like the kind of people who would drop out of school and go to work as laborers in a mine in the suburbs.

When they occasionally talked to each other, they always mentioned "Brother Ze" and "Boxer".

It makes people a little curious.

"Then I'll follow you to broaden my horizons."

Qin Shi smiled gently.

"Let's go."

……

……

After the three young men disappeared at the corridor stairs, the lame Old Liang flashed out from the side.

All the practical training in the afternoon fell into his eyes. He looked down and moved slowly with Qin Shi.

"If this kid's training method is outstanding, then his fighting style is simply genius-level!"

Lao Liang licked his cracked lips lightly, his fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and a hint of fanaticism involuntarily appeared on his face.

If Qin Shi saw this scene, he would probably be reminded of a certain type of person he often saw when he was driving a car to transport goods in northern Myanmar in his previous life - a gambler who bet all his wealth on buying raw stones!
"My luck has come. My luck... has finally come! He is truly a natural born warrior!"
