Training Results
Jin Shaokang clearly didn't want to waste time with Xiao He here, so he turned and ran, heading straight for the security room.
Xiao He didn't know why he was going to the security room, but he guessed that there should be a way for him to leave there. He bent down, chose a path, and then rushed out. When he reached the corner, he jumped up and used the two right-angled walls of the corner to kick twice, instantly closing the distance and catching up with Jin Shaokang.
This is a technique he learned from obstacle courses. When turning, people definitely need to slow down, but with this wall-jumping technique, not only do you not need to slow down, but you can even use the momentum to accelerate.
With the tide turning and the tide rising, Xiao He instantly closed the distance between himself and Jin Shaokang, then pounced on him, grabbed Jin Shaokang's waist, and the two fell to the ground and began to wrestle.
But after rolling a few times on the ground, Jin Shaokang suddenly exerted force in his waist, pinning Xiao He to the ground, and threw a punch at Xiao He's face.
Xiao He dodged to the side, the punch grazing his cheek. He reached out and grabbed Jin Shaokang's wrists, using his lower body strength to wrap his legs around Jin Shaokang's neck. The two rolled on the ground in a tangled mess, and the next moment Xiao He locked Jin Shaokang's arm in Armbar.
"Hey, don't think I'm useless just because I lack ability," Xiao He thought to himself. "I've also diligently studied martial arts."
The Armbar is a joint that is very difficult to break free from by brute force, especially after it has been formed. Only by knowing specific unlocking techniques can it be broken.
This is true under normal circumstances.
However, there aren't many rules in this kind of fight, so after struggling for a while and finding he couldn't break free, Jin Shaokang bit Xiao He's leg directly.
"Are you a dog?!" Xiao He winced in pain and couldn't help but let go, while Jin Shaokang hurriedly stood up and threw a punch.
However, in Xiao He's eyes, Jin Shaokang was a complete novice. He came out with a heavy punch, which was not only too obvious in his intentions but also had a lot of flaws. If he missed, he would inevitably be countered.
"No wonder Instructor Xia Rui was so confident back then. Looking at Jin Shaokang now, he's just like me back then, isn't he?" Xiao He thought to himself. He got into position, dodged Jin Shaokang's punch with a diving swing, and then landed a straight punch on Jin Shaokang's chin, followed by a left hook, which made Jin Shaokang take a step back.
But Jin Shaokang immediately steadied himself, raising his hands to protect his head. Xiao He then switched to a low kick, sweeping it across the side of Jin Shaokang's knee. The pain made him gasp and stagger involuntarily.
Immediately, Xiao He transformed his right hand into a palm and slapped Jin Shaokang on the chin.
As the saying goes, a light punch is better than a heavy palm strike. The impact of a palm strike spreads more easily through the body than a punch. When Xiao He struck with his palm, the impact traveled down his chin and reverberated in Jin Shaokang's skull, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao He got into position, stabilized his center of gravity, supported his body with his left foot, and swept out with his right foot, delivering a high kick with the Crescent Kick, which struck Jin Shaokang squarely in the face.
Jin Shaokang was kicked so hard that he spun 360 degrees before falling backward to the ground, where he lay motionless.
The Crescent Kick is a technique in karate that uses the tiger's toe to kick, and the impact can even shatter an enemy's internal organs. In actual combat, no one dares to kick someone in the head.
It's not easy to hit, and it's also too dangerous, easily resulting in death.
However, Xiao He figured that Jin Shaokang, like himself, was a superhuman with a resilient body, so he shouldn't die so easily. Anyway, he'd kick him out first; he couldn't let this guy get away.
Xiao He went up to check on Jin Shaokang's condition. He looked lighter now than when Xiao He first found him. Half of the blackness of his shadow had faded, and his human form could be roughly seen.
Although the other party had taken quite a few hits, his injuries weren't too serious, probably because his body was more vulnerable to blows in his semi-shadow state. However, just as Xiao He squatted down to examine him, Jin Shaokang suddenly opened his eyes, raised his right index and middle fingers, and poked Xiao He's eyes.
"Oh no! This guy was faking it!" Xiao He was startled and quickly turned and backed away.
Actually, he could have dodged it. The eye-poking technique isn't very effective in real combat because the target is too small; even a slight turn of the head would cause the poke to miss. However, even though he dodged it, he still got poked in the face.
Xiao He gritted his teeth, bracing himself for the impending pain. But then, "Bang! bang!" two gunshots rang out, and sparks flew in front of Xiao He as two bullets collided and struck Jin Shaokang in the forehead and abdomen.
"Ugh!" Jin Shaokang groaned and lay down on the ground, this time truly not moving.
Xiao He turned his head and saw Xie Haining standing about five meters behind him, her expression cold, holding two guns and pointing them at him.
"How... how did you do that?" Xiao He asked in astonishment.
You have to understand that Xie Haining's two shots just now collided right in front of him before hitting Jin Shaokang, who was in a blind spot. In other words... the bullets veered off course due to their collision.
"It's just a little trick," Xie Haining smiled slightly. "I can use my Superpower to predict the trajectory of bullets and then make them bounce off to hit enemies in blind spots. However, this method can only be used at close range; the trajectory becomes unstable at greater distances."
"Then..." Xiao He's lips twitched slightly, "So you're very confident you can hit the opponent, or..."
"I'm not 100% sure, after all, I've only been practicing for a week." Xie Haining said, walking up to Xiao He and extending his hand to him. "However, this method of bullets bouncing off each other will greatly weaken their power. For LV1 Mutant like you, the weakened bullets won't be able to penetrate your skin and muscles; at most, they'll just push you out."
After pulling Xiao He up, Xie Haining laughed and said, "So, whether I hit the enemy or you, I can help you out of this predicament."
"This guy is terrifying..." Xiao He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "Is this the kind of man who never makes a mistake and always acts with the best plan?"
Xie Haining glanced at Jin Shaokang, who was lying unconscious on the ground, pressed a button on his headset, and said, "Chief Cui, considering his ability to hide, I think detaining him now is the best option."
Cui Man replied from the other end, "Yes, I think so too. I'll arrange the relocation immediately."
At this moment, the shadowy figure on Jin Shaokang gradually faded away in front of the two of them, completely revealing Jin Shaokang himself. However, all his previous wounds had disappeared, leaving only the fresh wounds from his battle with Xiao He and Xie Haining.
"This guy has this kind of ability..." Xiao He frowned. "As expected, everyone keeps a trump card up their sleeve."
However, Jin Shaokang has now returned to his original form, and Xiao He's abilities have been activated again, so there's nothing to worry about.
