Three Strikes He Could Handle, but What About the Fourth?

After Dong Jian voluntarily left the field in the previous round, Yu Tianheng took over to finish the match, and Imperial Fighting Team finally secured their first victory in the qualifying round.

No one felt it was a pity that Dong Jian only played against two players.

The qualifying rounds are based on the overall team results, not on who has to stand until the very end.

After a day of rest, the next round will begin again.

The Mental Interference type of opponent hasn't even reached Dong Jian yet.

The next qualifying match.

He first encountered another, more familiar problem.

Continuous close-quarters combat.

The third Soul Master sent by the opposing academy possessed a short-tailed lynx- Martial Soul.

The speed isn't like the speed of Yu Feng in mid-air.

It wasn't a sudden outburst like Osler's.

It has only one characteristic.

Keep applying it after it's stuck on.

fist.

elbow.

knee.

claw.

One action after another.

They almost never give their opponents a chance to restart.

When Dong Jian saw the information...

My first thought was that it's suitable for practice.

Qin Ming saw through his thoughts.

"A competition is not a training ground."

"I know."

Don't risk your life just to take on one more leg of the journey.

"Um."

Li Man added from the side.

"Especially the fourth paragraph."

Dong Jian looked at her.

How did you know I wanted the fourth paragraph?

"It's written all over your face."

Where is it written?

"Never mind."

The match begins.

The short-tailed lynx Soul Master immediately closed the distance.

The first strike is a straight punch.

Dong Jian shirked his responsibility.

Change heels.

The fist slid across.

The second attack did not stop.

The opponent's elbow came up from the inside.

The sideways twisting sensation left by Dong Jian's previous punch was still there.

It won't turn back.

Simply raise your arm to block the outside of your elbow as you Momentum Shift.

touch.

It's not a hard block.

Simply push the elbow strike direction outwards slightly.

Your body continues to rotate at the same time.

The third strike.

The knee strike has already occurred.

This is normal.

Dong Jian should stop first.

Lower your center of gravity again.

This time he didn't stop.

The spin left from the first two movements landed all the way down to their feet.

Shift position with your right foot.

First, move your hip aside, then strike head-on with your knee.

My left hand naturally pressed down on the other person's shoulder.

Short Tremor.

Bang!

The short-tailed lynx Soul Master took a half-step to the side.

Three sections.

No action was completely reset to zero.

Many people in the stands had already noticed the change.

"That Kung Fu again?"

He didn't stop.

"The third attack is still a counterattack."

Tang San sat in the Shrek area.

His eyes were very focused.

"Smoother than before."

The Grandmaster asked, "Where?"

"In the past, he would often experience a slight period of readjustment between his two relationships."

"The three segments were almost connected just now."

"What's the price?"

Tang San did not answer immediately.

We'll have to wait for the next round.

On the competition stage.

The short-tailed lynx Soul Master also sensed it.

He didn't give Dong Jian a chance to catch his breath.

It actually posts back faster.

"Again."

Fourth round of contact.

The straight claw is from the left.

Dong Jian let go first.

The opponent followed up with a right punch.

He continued turning.

The third knee strike.

Shift positions with your feet.

Everything goes smoothly.

The fourth paragraph is here.

This is not a new attack method.

However, the opponent swept a kick towards the supporting leg that Dong Jian had just switched to.

The timing of that kick was very tricky.

Dong Jian's body movement in the first three segments was still trending to the right.

The support had shifted to the right leg.

His first instinct was still to incorporate the fourth foot into the continuous Momentum Shift.

Keep turning your waist.

Prepare to relax your right knee.

The problems occurred simultaneously.

My waist still wants to move to the right.

However, the right foot must be pulled to the left to avoid the sweeping leg.

The knees, hips, and waist appear in different directions for the first time.

A warning message about the Divine Dragon Secret Realm popped up instantly.

"Route conflict."

Dong Jian's heart sank.

Cannot accept.

He abruptly cut off the continuous movements.

He took two steps back.

A sweeping leg brushed past in front of him.

The short-tailed lynx Soul Master grabbed him and retreated.

lunge forward.

Dong Jian didn't have time to fully set up the frame.

One can only absorb one impact by crossing one's arms.

Bang!

Take another step back.

I feel tightness in my chest.

Some people in the stands thought Dong Jian's technique had just been interrupted.

Tang San, however, saw it more clearly.

He broke it himself.

"Um."

Yu Xiaogang said, "It would be even more dangerous to continue."

Tang San stared at Dong Jian's right leg.

Just a moment ago.

The right knee and waist movements were noticeably inconsistent.

If forced to connect.

It might not be a matter of getting kicked.

You'll hurt yourself first.

Dong Jian regained his footing.

The short-tailed lynx Soul Master chuckled.

"It won't work outside?"

"Not now."

Dong Jian's answer was very direct.

The other party was taken aback.

"Then I'll keep hitting four times."

"You try."

They faced off again.

The opponent really tried to pull each round's combinations to four or more.

Dong Jian, however, no longer followed his lead in proving himself.

The first paragraph can be translated.

change.

The second section is uncomfortable.

Refund immediately.

The third part is if the opponent's body is too deep.

Short Tremor.

Sometimes they don't even respond to the first attempt.

The Light-Body Bear Steps first.

The game suddenly became less fluid than it had been at the start.

But Dong Jian secured his position.

The Short-tailed Lynx Soul Master excels at drawing people into his continuous rhythm.

Dong Jian almost deliberately stayed in that rhythm because he wanted to make a continuous Momentum Shift.

Now it's over.

The other side, on the contrary, has to catch up again and again.

Consumption is starting to increase.

The 10th or 11th round.

The short-tailed lynx charged forward too quickly.

The first claw missed.

Dong Jian did not take advantage of this moment to immediately connect to the second paragraph.

He simply turned slightly to the side.

The opponent's second punch went deeper to close the distance.

Only then did they accept it.

Shoulder to shoulder.

Waist twist.

But he only took half a step.

The opponent wanted to continue with a third strike.

Dong Jian has finished his Circular Rotation.

The Black Stance subsided.

A Short Tremor directly in front.

Bang!

The young man felt a tightness in his chest.

Footsteps were disordered.

Dong Jian took the lead this time.

There was no continuous rotation of four segments.

It was just a simple slap that sent the person off the line.

The referee declared the Imperial Fighting Team the winner.

Dong Jian did not cheer.

First, bend down and move your right knee.

No injuries.

My waist and hips are just tight.

Ye Lingling saw his movements from afar.

We already know where the problem occurred.

Back to the rest area.

She first asked Dong Jian to sit down.

"Right knee?"

"No injuries."

Where's your waist?

"It's a little tight."

Ye Lingling finished her inspection.

"Not continuing today."

Dong Jian nodded.

Qin Ming didn't ask about the outcome.

Why is the fourth paragraph broken?

"Your feet and waist are not pointing in the same direction."

What about the first three paragraphs?

"Smooth."

"So?"

Dong Jian thought for a moment.

"Smooth flow doesn't mean the fourth paragraph should also be smooth flow."

Li Man handed him the water.

"At least we didn't have to wait until the fifth hit to find out."

"I wasn't that exaggerated before."

Who almost got hit by two legs at the same time in that Elephant Armor match?

Dong Jian is silent.

night.

The Divine Dragon Secret Realm separates today's continuous Momentum Shift into its own analysis.

First paragraph.

Stablize.

Second paragraph.

Stablize.

Third paragraph.

The stability is significantly higher than in the past.

Fourth paragraph.

"The waist and hips are in conflict with the knee and ankle pathways."

"Continuous load-bearing error accumulation."

"Forced continuation: High risk of injury."

No new skill names were introduced.

There was no "understanding" either.

Just a record.

Dong Jian made the first three segments repeat.

The truly smooth place.

It's not about speed.

Instead, it's at the end of each segment.

The body is still in a position where it can be used in the next phase.

The fourth segment failed.

It's not because the number has reached four.

It's at the end of the third paragraph.

He was completely unsuitable to receive that sweeping leg kick.

Dong Jian stopped taking notes.

For the first time, he truly shifted the focus from "how many consecutive segments can there be."

Let's switch to another one.

"After the previous paragraph ended."

Should I remain in a position where I can continue?

The Divine Dragon Secret Realm did not respond.

The information about the next opponent is already on the table.

Mind Control System.

Dong Jian glanced at it.

Mountain Domain.

This attack didn't even have a clear target.

It's more complicated than the fourth paragraph.

After this match ended.

Qin Ming did not let Dong Jian return to his residence immediately.

Let him walk slowly around the empty field a few times first.

This is not training.

Only check if there is any residual discomfort in the right knee and hip during a natural gait.

Ye Lingling stood to the side.

Ask once after each lap.

Is it tight?

"A little bit on the first lap."

"Second lap?"

"Too few."

"Third lap?"

"Normal."

After confirming that there was no actual strain.

Qin Ming then released the man.

"My biggest takeaway today wasn't the three segments."

Dong Jian asked, "What is that?"

The fourth segment didn't connect smoothly.

Dong Jian was taken aback.

Yu Feng, standing nearby, remarked, "This can be considered a gain?"

Qin Ming looked at him.

"It's harder to stop than to play an extra segment."

Yu Tianheng nodded as well.

"Especially when the first three sections go smoothly."

Dong Jian did not refute.

That statement hits the nail on the head.

If the first paragraph fails.

People stop easily.

The most dangerous thing is that you've been successful all along.

Good health.

The judgment was also smooth.

Therefore, "can still accept" might be mistaken for "should continue accepting".

The Divine Dragon Secret Realm places this event alongside the one involving the Elephant Armor.

The two questions appear different.

The commonalities are quite obvious.

The previous time, it was because it was handling too much pressure at once.

This time, it involved handling too many actions in quick succession.

It's not that they don't know how to transfer it.

Instead, it didn't give the body a chance to make a different choice.

Dong Jian wrote this down in his training record.

"Continuous does not mean uninterrupted."

After he finished writing it, he crossed it out himself.

It sounds too much like a summary.

In the end, only four words remained.

"Cut it off when it's time to cut ties."

Li Man saw it.

"This one reads like you."

"It didn't seem like it before?"

"She used to resemble Teacher Qin."

Qin Ming heard this from a distance.

He didn't look back.

Dong Jian closed the notebook.

The next battle of mind Control System is still pending.

At least this time.

He wouldn't go in with the idea that "the fourth paragraph must succeed."

True continuity.

You can't prove it by refusing to stop.

Next time, move on to the fourth paragraph.

First, check if the body is still in a position where it can catch the object.

Dong Jian put his right foot firmly on the ground again.

The fifth paragraph was not Simulation.

That's enough for today.

Whether he will be given a fourth chance in the next match depends on his real opponent, not on how many points are written in the training book.

He did not consider "three segments" as a new limit number.

Tomorrow, with changes in terrain, opponents, and the angle of force, both sections may need to be paused.

What we should really remember is whether the body has an exit.

Numbers are merely records left behind today.
