The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

...

After the fish frying was over, the so-called expert brother went shopping with his wife. After trying many authentic snacks and local specialties, the two returned to their residence with their things.

"Sorry, sorry. I haven't decided where to stay yet, and it's too troublesome to carry the gifts with me, so I left them somewhere. I'll have them deliver them once I've confirmed the address. This place should be able to receive couriers, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Ping... It looks like you guys bought a lot of things just now. Do you need help taking them back to your room? Xiaochun, come and help!"

Xiaochun is the name of the tall "little disciple" just now. Because he was born in spring, his family gave him this name.

The reason why he was asked to be a "coolie" was not because there was no one available here. You should know that there were dozens or even hundreds of disciples in the next yard. This was a small punishment for his "malicious speculation about others."

"Then I'll trouble you to take these to the kitchen."

"Okay, Mr. Ping."

Although he is big in size, he has a very good attitude. After all, he has been beaten many times, especially when he first started practicing.

Is it just “sent to the kitchen”? Is there some delicious food inside?

Xiaochun doesn't have any hobbies except eating. He used to be a fat man, but now he has built up his muscles. Even so, this habit has not changed.

Therefore, he could tell that these bags contained some fresh ingredients. Could they be the ingredients for Master Lie's lunch?

This was quite thoughtful. He walked towards the kitchen humming a little tune.

......

...

..

"Mr. Ping, what are you doing...?"

"Huh? I'm just doing some warm-up exercises."

"Ah, I see... What a unique warm-up exercise! Is this your special technique?"

"No, it's just radio gymnastics. I think domestic students should know how to do it."

It turns out those strange movements are radio gymnastics?

This brings us to Lie Haiwang's blind spots in knowledge. After all, he has been practicing martial arts with Liu Haiwang in Bailin Temple in Heilongjiang Province since he was 4 years old.

Although he earned the title of Aquaman in his twenties and was hailed as a genius of 4000 years, his level of academic achievement in his youth can only be described as tragic!

* Although he was taught general knowledge, he was completely clueless about everyday things.

"Okay, let's start the fight."

After seeing that his first strategy was successful, Ping Xin immediately ended the warm-up.

"What about the rules?"

The most commonly used rule here is a simple sparring match where both players do not use their full strength, and occasionally there are some life-and-death fights.

The latter is too violent but the former cannot satisfy people either, not to mention that Ping Xin is the guest, so he gave him the power to decide the rules. This is the polite and good boy Rekaioh!

"I don't care. The result is the same anyway."

Seeing Ping Xin so confident, Rei Haiwang's fighting spirit was also ignited. He was eager to try, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the second level of psychological warfare.

"Okay, then let's stick with [No Weapons Allowed] and [The match ends when one party surrenders or loses consciousness]!"

"I have no objection... Speaking of which, this should be Emperor Guo Hai, right? I've heard of you for a long time, but I just haven't had the right opportunity to greet you."

After changing into loose clothes that matched the Yan Kingdom style and warming up, Ping Xin finally bowed and greeted Guo Haihuang, who had been paying attention to him since he entered the door.

"Haha, young and powerful man, where are you from?"

"Ah, ah, doesn't this make my psychological warfare half-ineffective?"

After hearing Guo Haihuang personally call Ping Xin a "strong man", Lie Haiwang's mentality and expression were no longer as relaxed as before. While his attention was fully focused, his fighting spirit became even higher.

"Hmm... Anyway, it's somewhere pretty far away. I learned some martial arts from my family and then gradually learned a little on my own, and that's how I became what I am now."

"I see... Looks like we'll be able to see an exciting battle today, Retsu."

"Yes, Teacher Guo, I won't let you down!"

Retsukaiou responded loudly, his voice so loud that it attracted the attention of those nearby.

"Bai Lin Temple, King Lie Hai."

"I flow, ordinary letter."

After you’ve registered your name, the competition begins!

Chapter 40: Discussion

After waiting for a while, Xiaochun finally couldn't help but speak and asked quietly, "Teacher Guo, why are they all so motionless?"

"Well, this is incredible... Although Lie is undoubtedly very strong, his opponent this time is very difficult."

"Ah? Are you saying that Master Lie will lose?!"

Surprise distorted his tone, and his originally gentle voice became sharp.

"They were testing each other—eye contact, breathing, the movement of every muscle... an expert could use these 'traces' to determine the other's next reaction.

Therefore, when two masters meet, they often use this kind of mutual probing to start the first round of confrontation. And now I can see that Lie's attacks have been perfectly blocked. He is now at a disadvantage."

Guo Haihuang's words were like a sharp needle, piercing the tense situation. Lie Haiwang finally couldn't help but shout and took action.

"You're too excited, Lie. While youthful vigor is a good thing, we must also maintain composure while maintaining enthusiasm, otherwise we'll be caught in a loophole like this."

"!?"

Rei Kaiou originally wanted to use this deliberately exposed flaw as bait to attract Ping Xin's attack and then seize the opportunity to counterattack, but he did not expect that his counterattack was also expected by Ping Xin, so he was hit by a lightning-fast jab and fell into a disadvantage!

"What kind of technology is this?"

"The jab in boxing is known as the fastest attack in the world. Although it's mostly used for testing, it can also be very useful as a 'first-look kill' against unfamiliar players."

"Been taught a lesson..."

As Xiaochun was surprised, Rei Haiwang, who had been accidentally hit on the chin, suddenly knelt on one knee after saying this. Was he trying to show courtesy to Ping Xinxing, the master of this move?

No, he just got into this situation where he couldn't maintain his balance because of a concussion!

"Aren't you going to attack?"

"No, I know you have a trick up your sleeve even now, and bullying someone who's not in their perfect state goes against my principles."

Ping Xin's words made Rei Kaiou angry and want to laugh.

"Perhaps you should learn some other fighting techniques, Retsukaiou."

"That's not necessary. Yan Nation martial arts are the strongest martial arts. Modern fighting techniques are less than one-tenth of their 4000-year history!"

Retsukaiou is a man of good temper who rarely gets angry, and if he is angered by someone it is usually someone who uses tricks in a fair fight or someone who insults martial arts.

It can be seen that he is such an upright person and his love for martial arts is so deep!

"If martial arts become stronger as they get older, then what's the point of us, the later generations, existing? Are all the martial arts you learn just crude imitations of the ancients?

Martial arts are the techniques of using the body. Since it is a technique, it must keep pace with the times and be constantly updated. It is not shameful to absorb the strengths of others to improve yourself!

"Yes!"

With a loud shout, Lie Haiwang attacked with dignity. His series of moves were smooth and flowing, but they were all blocked by Ping Xin one by one. In the end, his physical strength and chance of winning were lost with time.

Is this person really invincible?

This answer appeared in the minds of Xiaochun, countless passers-by who were climbing over the wall to peek, and Lie Haiwang himself. He would not question the power of martial arts, he would only feel his own weakness and immaturity.

"How dare you get distracted while fighting me!?"

With a heavy punch, Rei Kaiou was knocked back several steps, but Ping Xin did not pursue him.

To be honest, with his current level, he is basically a fry in the Baki world. Even if all abilities are excluded and only physical fitness and other hard power are considered to be in his superior position, he can be called a panel monster.

Therefore, in battle, he is more of a pursuit and exchange of martial arts and strength. Therefore, what he needs to do is not to consider how to defeat the enemy quickly but how to induce the opponent to show his full strength and then defeat them.

"No, I was just thinking about what kind of moves I could use to defeat you... Lord Ping Xin, your strength is completely beyond my imagination!"

On the road to the strongest throne, the strong will be respected.

"Thinking? That's distraction!"

"...?"

Except for Guo Haihuang, everyone present was lost in thought. Why would thinking be a distraction?

"In battle, the only thing you should be thinking about is [how to defeat your opponent], not [what to do to defeat your opponent]!"

Is there any difference between the two?

"Training is the process of overcoming instinct and strengthening oneself. So, what have you gained from countless trainings over the past few decades? A body engraved with 'martial arts memories'—"

flesh?

Even though he is a martial arts genius... no, it is precisely because he is a martial arts genius and has learned too many and too diverse things that Rei Kaiou fell into such confusion.

If there is only one skill in the move list and only one controllable character, you will definitely not think about how to make the move, otherwise you will get stuck in thinking.

It might give you that time in a video game, but not your opponent in combat!

"Fool! If you can't control the moves, then let martial arts control you!"

"Let martial arts master me...?"

After hearing Ping Xin's words, Guo Haihuang's eyes lit up, and then he said with a smile: "Lie... Empty your mind and let your body feel. The results of your years of hard training are there."

Empty your mind?

By feeling?

Rei Hai Wang seemed to understand——

You should not be thinking about how to defeat the enemy during a fight, but when you want to defeat the enemy, your body will move on its own and you will use the most correct martial arts!

"Oh, your moves and expressions have changed?" Ping Xin frowned slightly, and the speed of his confrontation with Retsukaiou gradually increased. "Indeed, it seems you have already entered the realm of [Ultimate Freedom]."

"Ultimate Self-Liberation? Could this be the completed form of Lord Hirayu's 'Goryū'?"

No, this is just some vocabulary I wrote down from reading comics before, and then I just said it casually.

"No, my [I-style] is not complete yet, and it will never be complete - I am evolving every day!"

"Yes, martial arts have no limit, I have learned again!"

Even talking did not interfere with their fight. There was no sense of confusion in their fight. One could only see a contest of technique, martial arts and pure strength!

"Hahaha, looks like things are going to get interesting later..."

After a hundred years, the old man who has become the King of the Sea has once again ignited his passion!

Chapter 41: How can you learn martial arts well with this bunch of insects!

"Mr. Pingxin, I didn't expect that you can not only cook, but also cook so deliciously!"

"Haha, it's just practice that makes perfect. Besides, you can just call me by my first name, Pingxin."

After the competition between Ping Xin and Re Kaiou, the friendship between the two became much deeper. After communicating for a while, Ping Xin prepared these surprising and delicious dishes.

Rei Hai Wang has a straightforward personality, and the same applies when he's eating. Right now, he's puffing up his cheeks while eating, like a cute hamster...

Although from the outside, he is just a big guy with bronze skin and no cuteness at all.

"I believe that everything in daily life, from walking, sitting, lying down, to cooking and eating, can be used for spiritual practice, and this has indeed become part of my daily practice."

"The purity is so high, Teacher Ping is worthy of his name!" praised the apprentice with food in his mouth.

The battle just now was more of a one-sided instruction than a sparring match. Ping Xin was handsome, strong, and a great cook, so he easily conquered those apprentices, both big and small.

"Please enjoy it, Emperor Guo Hai. I've also prepared some nutritious and easy-to-digest food."

"Hahaha, what a good boy. Not bad, not bad... You and Lie are both the future of our martial arts world. Are you interested in becoming the Sea King and running for the throne of the Sea Emperor?"

"To be considered as a Poseidon by Guo Haihuang, the living fossil of the martial arts world, is truly worthy of being called Teacher Ping!"

"Thank you for your kindness...but my wife and I are traveling, so I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here long."
