After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

Chapter 398: Chapter 275: Martial Arts Fundamentals

With Dongdong handing Shangguan Li the final cup of tea, the apprenticeship ceremony concluded.

Shangguan Li led everyone to the platform outside and said to Dongdong, "Find someone to spar with you first. I want to see your skills."

Dongdong was somewhat baffled, "You don’t already know my skills? They’re the same as before."

Shangguan Li: "I’m not looking at your strength or speed; I want to closely observe your application of pure techniques."

"Dolan, as the senior disciple, step up and spar with her for a few moves."

"Yes." Dolan stood on the opposite side of the platform and graciously cupped his fists to Dongdong, "Junior Sister, please."

In matters of fighting, Dongdong never backed down. She immediately adopted an aggressive stance on the other side, mimicking the gesture to Dolan with cupped fists.

Shangguan Li reminded, "Listen carefully, this sparring has rules—everyone should turn off the extra output power of the prosthetic, leaving only normal human physical capabilities."

"During the spar, you’re not allowed to secretly increase power, or activate bullet time, especially don’t let me see a ’Prosthetic Overload’ in the middle of the fight, got it?"

Dolan was taken aback, "Prosthetic Overload? Master, I don’t know that skill."

Shangguan Li: "I wasn’t talking about you."

Dolan was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Dongdong on the opposite side.

Dongdong, secretly reprimanded, rolled her eyes.

Shangguan Li: "Begin."

Dolan snapped back to reality and hastily adopted a fighting stance.

At this moment, Dolan was incredibly nervous. He never imagined that this newly arrived junior sister could, like the master, use Prosthetic Overload.

People who can use that move are the top-tier experts!

What is the background of this junior sister?

A recluse master?

An ancient martial family?

Oh my gosh, am I going to be annihilated by her in an instant?

If that happens, my status as the senior disciple will be utterly embarrassing!

While Dolan was panicking internally, Dongdong also clenched her small fists, positioning herself in her usual street-fighting stance, hopping step by step towards him.

Dolan stared at Dongdong with wide eyes.

What kind of stance is this?

Her fists are held so far from her body, they can’t protect her abdomen or her head.

Her neck is stiff, her head leans forward, and her chin, a vulnerable spot, is completely exposed.

Furthermore, the aimless hopping does nothing but waste her energy.

Her entire body is full of openings.

What kind of routine is this??? freēwēbnovel.com

This unheard-of martial stance confused Dolan, as his mind swarmed with thoughts.

Could it be she’s deliberately showing weakness to lure me in, and then finish me off in an instant?

Or perhaps this is an extremely avant-garde martial art skill, at a level beyond my understanding?

Could it be! The junior sister has grasped the highest realm of martial arts—He may be strong, but I remain unfazed like a breeze brushing a hill; He may be fierce, but I remain as steadfast as the moon reflecting on the river.

Full of flaws means being flawless!

Dolan lost his composure and was forced to retreat step by step by Dongdong, beads of sweat forming on his forehead in anxiety.

Seeing the opponent back off, Dongdong felt smug and taunted, "No way, is that it? I haven’t even struck yet and you’re scared. The title of senior disciple is mine now!"

Having said that, she charged forward, throwing a punch.

In the eyes of professional martial artists, this punch was full of so many openings that it left them unsure of how to counter.

Dolan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

It seems I’m still not skilled enough, my understanding of martial arts doesn’t match the junior sister’s, and I’m unworthy of being the master’s senior disciple.

But even so, I must lose with a bit of dignity!

With this thought, he gritted his teeth, stepping forward with his left leg as a pivot, executing a whirlwind kick.

"Thud!" With a leg longer than an arm, Dongdong’s offensive was broken, and her head took a heavy kick.

The impact twisted her mouth and eyes, spinning her in mid-air for two and a half turns, leaving her motionless on the ground.

Dolan: "...?"

What just happened...

Dawned with a single kick?

Both of them had, earlier as per Shangguan Li’s instructions, turned off their prosthetic’s extra output power, functioning as ordinary humans.

Dongdong, taking that kick, stayed unconscious on the ground for several seconds before suddenly waking up, bewilderedly looking around, "Huh, why am I lying on the ground... ow, my head..."

Holding her head, she clambered to her feet and bared her teeth at Dolan, "You punk! I’ll smash you to bits!"

She charged again, flailing punches at Dolan’s face.

After initially being stunned, Dolan gradually regained his composure and began responding with martial skills.

Whether Dongdong punched or kicked, Dolan either dodged using body technique or absorbed and deflected, with not a single move causing any substantial harm.

In contrast, facing Dolan’s crafty and exquisite martial skills, Dongdong either tripped and fell or used her face to catch punches, ending up with a black and blue face within minutes.

"Thud!"

With Dolan’s final simple sweeping kick, Dongdong was tripped to the ground, unable to get up.

"Stop," Shangguan Li called a timely halt.

Dolan scratched his head, disbelieving that he’d won against someone capable of Prosthetic Overload, still somewhat disoriented amidst the cheers from junior brothers and sisters.

Shangguan Li looked at Dongdong, asking helplessly, "Who taught you this Turtle Fist?"

Dongdong took the ice pack from a helpful senior brother and, pressing it to her face, said, "No one taught me; I’ve been fighting people on the street since I was a kid, taught myself."

Shangguan Li sighed, "Alright, your first lesson will be to forget everything you knew before."

Dongdong was puzzled, "Why? I’ve always fought like this since I was a kid, and I’ve beaten many people!"

Shangguan Li: "That only means those you beat were even lousier than you."

Dongdong protested somewhat, "Didn’t we fight to a tie before?"

Shangguan Li: "That was just you relying on the prosthetic capabilities to push through, it had nothing to do with skill. Equip a wild monkey with an advanced prosthetic, and it could produce similar results as you."
