C17 Combined Method
"Next, we will begin the lecture. This section is about a technique in actual combat." No matter whether or not someone else was listening, Mister continued to talk about his responsibilities, "The name of this skill is combos. "In other words, it means attacking the opponent one move after another, leaving the opponent with no room to retaliate..."
Below, all the students had returned to their original state. They were lazy, and did not listen to any of this. After all, they all possessed a heritage of martial dao that they didn't share with outsiders. He was completely dismissive of the martial dao theory knowledge that the academy had imparted to him.
But the gentleman went on, without pause or embarrassment. Perhaps they were already used to the deserted lecture halls.
"This method of comboing isn't to refer to continuous attacks. It is to say, as long as one strike succeeds, the opponent will not be given any opportunity to retaliate or catch their breath. One strike after another …"
Ye Feng originally did not think that it was necessary for him to listen to the lecture. One must know that his strength was even stronger than these so-called people with absolute arts that were passed down in their family. However, after listening for a while, he discovered that even though this was the theory of public martial arts that the academy taught, it still had its own unique features. Thus, he began to listen attentively, and his eyes became more and more focused as he stared at Mister.
Even though that gentleman had done his duty, he had never thought about the detailed explanation. However, as he spoke, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a rather unfamiliar face below, which was listening with great interest. That focused gaze of his wasn't bad, as if a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a long time had suddenly encountered an oasis. "Like a dry sponge, it suddenly dropped into a pond filled with water and greedily absorbed it.
As a teacher who imparted knowledge about martial arts theories, he stayed in the Dragon City Academy for many years. Although the new and the old often alternated, no one cared about the things in the Dragon City Academy. This was because they all had their own inheritances and did not like the teachings of the academy. Thus, ever since Teacher started teaching, in the many years since, he had not met a single student that was listening attentively to his lecture.
Regardless of gender.
But today, he met one. The teacher was very excited. He felt that this was definitely a miracle within the academy. And he, was the witness to this miracle. Because there was a student who was listening to the lecture with extreme seriousness!
As a teacher who taught martial dao theory, having a student who was willing to listen seriously represented a form of respect towards him. At the very least, he should put on an act. It was a pity that everyone who came to the Dragon City Academy had a background. None of them were people that a teacher could afford to offend. "Say, you can't say.
Right now, there was a student who was attentively listening to his lecture. This was not just an act. To him, it was like encountering an artist who has been neglected for a long time, but one day he met someone who understood his art.
In this world, it was hard to find a good voice!
Therefore, the excited sir, have a kind of self-exhausting knowledge, also want to tell this class of enthusiasm. Not for anything else, but just for this student.
"... There were two specific types of combo techniques. One was the meridian skill, the other was the joint skill. In our opinion, the most important thing is the meridian skill … "
The more he spoke, the more detailed he became as he began to narrate the story. As soon as the topic was brought up to a certain point which involved a higher level of theoretical knowledge, if the student revealed a doubtful expression, he would immediately repeat it over and over again, to the point where it was even more detailed. It was only when the student's face revealed a flash of understanding and revealed an expression of "So it's like this" did the teacher continue his lecture.
"... As everyone knew, when a person cultivates the martial dao, there are many meridians in their body. In the midst of all these meridians, there were many hidden acupoints. Amongst them, there were some acupoints that could cause one to fall into a state of paralysis for a short period of time. "When we are using the combo, we are mainly aiming at the various acupoints …"
Then, Mister began to talk about how, in actual combat, to use these human body's points to apply the method of combo. Ye Feng listened for a moment and his mind became more open. He felt that this theory was the culmination of generations of people. Indeed, the human body had many meridians and acupuncture points. He also knew that these acupuncture points had different effects on the human body. Some were good, some were bad.
However, most of the current practitioners weren't thinking about this. It was a technique that was occasionally used by practitioners who weren't ranked. However, once they entered the ranks of the same rank, they would gradually be ignored by the people with sharp edges. At an early stage, he might be able to pose some threat. However, with the rise in his level, the increase in his strength, and the sharpness of his blade, it was almost impossible for him to take advantage of the power of his acupuncture points.
However, Ye Feng also knew that if the difference in level was not too great, then this attack support skill still had its uses. Even if one couldn't imprison a person's movements with just a finger pointing at an acupoint like when one was being "frozen", it was impossible to do the same. However, it could at least have a limited effect, such as delaying the opponent's attack frequency or reaction time.
Therefore, Ye Feng, who was often on the verge of death, was clear-headed to realize that this combo and its related theoretical knowledge were definitely useful.
Just think about it, if he were to fight an opponent with the same strength, he would have been evenly matched, and no one would have been able to do anything to him. However, if he were to suddenly use it, then it could be imagined how one side would constantly attack while the other side would completely passively take the hit. The disparity between them could be imagined.
Even if one were to take a step back, it would only cause the opponent's reaction to be slower than usual. Even if it was just a tiny bit, it would be enough to reverse the balance of the scales for a martial artist.
The reason why the students didn't care was because they were lazy even in class. Ye Feng could guess that it was because each of them had an absolute art manual passed down in their family, so he disdained it. Because, to the extent that they could come into contact with it, they would often use their own family's absolute arts to deal with it. If they couldn't win, they would lose. There was no chance to reverse the situation. There was no use in listening to all this theoretical knowledge. If he had the time, he might as well focus on comprehending his own absolute arts and thinking about how to increase their power.
These two types of thoughts were solid. Although they conflicted with each other, it was still the result of the development of the martial way in this world. On one hand, with the development of grade, many details could be ignored. On the other hand, martial practitioners who couldn't enter the ranks could only find another way to restrain the masters of the ranks.
Thus, in this environment, a group of people who specialized in martial dao theories were born. These people all had different theories. However, some of them were beaten to death while they were still trying to challenge the experts of the same level. Thus, their theory was drowned out because they used their lives to prove that their theory was wrong.
Of course, there were a few who were not as crazy, and so they roamed the world. A small part of them entered various academies and became teachers.
Just like the one today, he was also a gentleman who had this kind of experience. His theory of martial dao research was combos. The main idea was to restrict the movements of the experts of the same level by launching a series of attacks, until the opponent was defeated.
Unfortunately, although he had taught them for many years and taught them the techniques of combo attacks, none of the students had taken it seriously. It wasn't until Ye Feng's appearance that the sadness in his life changed. As a result, that mister was extremely excited and unreservedly narrated his theory.
What he said this time could be said to be the most detailed and comprehensive one. He even decided that after teaching this student well, he would not talk about this in the future.
Life, having a confidant, was enough.
His theory was going to become absolute!
"Another method of comboing is through joint skills..." The mister passionately narrated, ignoring the spittle flying everywhere. Ye Feng also listened attentively, trying his best to understand every word.
"... The human body had many joints, allowing one to be able to move freely and maintain balance during a battle... If, at a crucial moment, one's joints were to be damaged and lose their proper function, then that person's body would lose its true balance and fall into a passive state … "
On a certain day of a certain year, there was a fake student named Ye Feng who was listening to an unknown teacher explain the usage of combo in Dragon City's Dragon City Academy. It wasn't until many years later, when Ye Feng's fame rose, that his combo method was accepted and worshipped by the world. The Dragon City Academy had become a place where even more martial practitioners could enter. It was to find that unknown gentleman …
