After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 49 Basic Fighting Techniques, Pair Training
After warming up, everyone should keep a distance of at least three meters from each other in all directions to prevent being unable to move freely or accidentally injuring others later.

Li Chengxiao and the others stood in line and began to explain, "The basic fighting techniques are divided into five groups. I will decide how many groups to teach today based on your learning progress. I will demonstrate it first. Those of you who have a basic understanding of fighting techniques can come up and assist me."

Upon hearing this, the guests immediately looked at each other.

This is undoubtedly a great opportunity to get more screen time, but the prerequisite is that you have a foundation in martial arts!

Chu Yuan was thinking about his past experience in combat sports and was hesitating whether to raise his hand when someone next to him raised their hand first.

"Chi Song, step forward."

Watching Chi Song walk out of the line, Chu Yuan silently clenched his fist.

Just a little bit closer!
[Chi Song even studied martial arts! Did he really never serve in the military before?]

[Two handsome men going head-to-head, even more exciting!]

[Hey, could you please put in a little more effort and try to get the shots clearer? You'll get a bonus!]

I thought Cheng Zhaoyi would raise her hand; isn't she a boxing coach?

This girl seems a bit introverted; she doesn't seem to be very outgoing.

Ji Xingchen seemed about to raise her hand, but Chi Song beat her to it.

Li Chengxiao and Chi Song, who had walked to the opposite side of him, exchanged a glance.

The former didn't care who would cooperate, but the latter was intentionally trying to take this opportunity to test the strength of the instructor who was only two years older than him.

One asked bluntly: "Are you ready?"

One answered readily: "Ready."

Li Chengxiao immediately threw a punch.

Chi Song's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stepped forward to block.

The two quickly launched into a flurry of attacks and defenses, leaving both the guests and the audience somewhat dazzled.

[Was that a bit too fast? I didn't even see what the movement was!]

The moves are all very cool and clean, but they seem so difficult. How can I learn them?

[The camera just quickly panned across the other guests, and I could see a look of utter despair on several of their faces.]

They're no longer as excited as they were when they first heard about training in combat sports.

[There should be a breakdown of the movements later on, right?]

Anyway, I had the foresight to record the screen beforehand; at worst, I can replay it in slow motion later.

Why does Jiang Hanying seem so excited?

I'm a little surprised that Jiang Hanying wasn't the first one called on by the instructor this time.

[Who would dare to fight the instructor without some basic combat skills? You could practically hear the wind whistling through the screen with that punch he just threw. If you didn't dodge in time, you could even be disfigured.]

Chi Song blocked the final straight side kick with both arms, and then staggered back several meters before regaining his balance. He shook his numb arms vigorously.

He knew very well that this was only the result of the other party deliberately holding back.

This instructor in front of me is very strong!
"Return to the team."

"Yes!"

Chu Yuan was now glad that he hadn't raised his hand.

Although cooperating with the instructors' demonstrations would allow more camera time to fall on him, he was certain that he could never match Chi Song's ability to hold his own against the instructors, and might even embarrass himself.

"What I just demonstrated to Chi Song was five sets of basic fighting techniques."

"Five groups? They just demonstrated five groups?" Xun Zhou was a little dumbfounded, and blurted out subconsciously, "Wasn't it the first group?"

I also thought it was the first group.

[The main feature is the fast pace. Each set only has a few moves, but each remaining move is the result of meticulous refinement and is very practical.]

"Now let's start practicing the breakdown of the first set of movements. Watch carefully."

Xun Zhou quickly suppressed his shock, his expression instantly turning serious.

Once the movements were broken down, everyone could directly perceive just how fast the instructor and Chi Song had demonstrated.

[Was there really so much movement involved in that one instant?]

[I tried practicing along, and I could only manage my upper body, not my lower body – that perfectly describes me.]

My mom saw me jumping around aimlessly in the living room and thought I was possessed.

Don't be discouraged; some of the guests aren't much better than us.

This was only the first step in the process, yet the fifteen guests on site managed to produce several different movements.

Anyone with stiff posture and uncoordinated movements is immediately obvious on camera. [Chi Song, Ji Xingchen, and Cheng Zhaoyi—these three have a foundation and their movements are the most standard.]

Jiang Hanying's learning is also good.

That's a bit of modesty on their behalf; they're probably quite capable!

So, is this another extreme reissue?

This skill is simply too powerful.

I'm tired of saying I'm envious.

As for the others... well, everyone has their own interpretation.

Haha, that's a very tactful comment!

Li Chengxiao observed everyone's performance and immediately called out a few names, "Jiang Hanying, Chi Song, Ji Xingchen, Cheng Zhaoyi, step forward."

The four people who performed the best were called to the front.

"The four of you will demonstrate it again for the other guests."

The rest of the process is clear and straightforward.

The instructors would demonstrate each movement once, and then the guests would practice along.

Then, four people were selected to demonstrate, and the guests followed suit, making repeated adjustments until the movements were performed to the correct standard.

An hour later, everyone had only barely grasped the breakdown of the first set of movements.

"Now, let's string together the movements from the first set and do them one by one."

The guests suddenly felt dizzy.

Sure enough, it's fine to do them individually, but when you put them together, you don't know how to do them!

In the end, only the four people who were called to the front were able to complete the task completely; the remaining ten or so people encountered numerous problems.

I reckon I'll only be able to learn this first set today.

[You can see it, but you'll forget how to learn it!]

[We can only hope for the four people who were pulled aside by the instructors.]

So while the dozen or so guests behind were still struggling to get the first set of moves together, the four in front had already started learning the second set.

Moreover, it skips the breakdown and teaches the whole set in one go.

The progress on both sides can be described in one word: impressive!

[Haha, one side is so fast it's almost touching, the other side is so slow it's almost touching!]

Once you've learned all five sets of movements (the first four), should you start practicing in pairs?

【This is possible. 】

When the instructor announced that they could try pair training, the audience couldn't help but think, "Just as I expected."

[Who will be paired with whom? Girls with girls, boys with boys, right?]

[The direction Jiang Hanying is looking in doesn't seem to be Cheng Zhaoyi, but Chi Song, right?]

These two actually matched up?

All I can say is, commendable courage.

[Chi Song can hold her own against the instructor, while Jiang Hanying learned these moves by simply copying them; it just doesn't seem like their abilities are on equal footing.]

That was indeed a bit overestimating themselves.

How about we make a bet? We'll bet on whether Chi Song will show any mercy to her later.

Seeing that Jiang Hanying and Chi Song had both decided that the other was their rival, Cheng Zhaoyi and Ji Xingchen exchanged a glance, cupped their hands in greeting, and tacitly agreed to team up.

Seeing this, Li Chengxiao didn't say anything. He walked between Jiang Hanying and Chi Song to make sure he could stop them in time if they lost control. "Are you all ready?"

They both nodded.

"start!"

Chi Song threw a punch in a very proper manner, using the first move of the first set.

Jiang Hanying immediately used the last move of the set to give him a side kick.

In their first test, fists met feet, and both men took two steps back.

Now that she had a better understanding of the situation, Jiang Hanying immediately let loose and stepped forward to deliver another random, unpredictable blow.

At this point, who cares about order? Just win!
