831: Chapter 822: Upgraded Combination Trump Card 831: Chapter 822: Upgraded Combination Trump Card General Wolfgang’s men were all tough guys, and tough guys are usually pretty arrogant.
Getting these proud, arrogant strongmen to voluntarily ask for protective gear was enough to make Gao Yang proud.
Looking at his opponent, who only had his eyes showing but whose gaze was filled with caution and fear, Gao Yang couldn’t help but say, “Do you know me?
Have we fought before?”
In theory, when facing someone with whom secrecy needs to be maintained, one shouldn’t talk too much, especially in front of Haifa, this woman by Wolfgang’s side.
Wolfgang’s men should ideally not even show their faces or speak, but Gao Yang wasn’t one of Wolfgang’s men.
That combat instructor, without revealing too much, also wasn’t about to get so scared in front of the general that he wouldn’t even dare to breathe.
After hearing Gao Yang’s words, the combat instructor replied with evident resentment, “Nonsense, I had to rest for several days after you kicked me last time!”
Although he had spoken, not much more could be said.
After both men had fallen silent, General Wolfgang thought for a moment and said solemnly, “Granted, put on the protective gear.”
The protective gear was specially made.
Not only was the crotch protection long, but it was also reinforced with sturdy materials, strong enough to withstand a full-powered kick.
After receiving the protective gear and pounding the groin guard with his fist twice, the instructor in front of Gao Yang nodded in satisfaction and quickly put on the gear.
Then, after patting himself down, he said to Gao Yang, “Bring it!”
Now that his opponent was wearing protective gear, Gao Yang’s Groin Kick wasn’t much use, and seeing the opponent still being extremely cautious about protecting his groin even in the gear, Gao Yang was in a bind.
He had to demonstrate for Mr.
L, and it certainly wasn’t about the whole set of combat skills.
What Mr.
L or Haifa needed was just one kick; other moves were meaningless.
Thus, Gao Yang needed to show Mr.
L.
that his Groin Kick still had some use when his opponent was fully on guard.
Gao Yang didn’t use his usual moves but still kicked out full force and at full speed at his opponent, who was wearing protective gear.
Without any psychological burden, this kick was truly his real strength.
But a sneaky move is still a sneaky move, under high alert, all the opponent needed was a slight twist of the hips, even if he couldn’t avoid the kick completely, he could still diminish the power of the Groin Kick to the bare minimum.
After the tip of his toe thudded against the outside of his opponent’s thigh, Gao Yang’s opponent staggered, yet let out a big shout and stretched a hand towards Gao Yang’s head wanting to bring Gao Yang down, but Gao Yang stepped down with the right leg he had kicked with, shrank his body and ducked, dodging the opponent’s punch.
As he crouched down, he threw a left hook punch straight toward the side-avoiding opponent’s groin.
Even though the protective gear had reinforced groin protection, it was made to prevent kicks coming from below, and not so effective against a frontal assault.
A punch elsewhere might have just been that, but for a spot where even a light touch causes excruciating pain, this punch was deadly.
Despite the protection of the groin guard, Gao Yang’s opponent didn’t fall but immediately bent over.
Slowly squatting down in a weird posture, he extended a middle finger at Gao Yang and, holding his breath, spat out word by word, “F**k!
You changed the routine!”
Gao Yang, apologetically, said, “Sorry, if I relied only on kicks, missing even once would put me in a tough spot, so I had Toad redesign it for me.
It’s now a combination move.
Besides being sneaky, I can also hold up in a frontal fight now.”
“Toad doesn’t need such despicable moves!”
“Right, but Toad is so skilled.
I’m not as good as him, so I have to play dirty.
Besides, he only designed a combined tactic for me, but I was the one who truly mastered it, so this is my unique secret technique, you see, because Toad doesn’t need to practice this.”
Glaring angrily at Gao Yang, the instructor again extended a middle finger but didn’t speak anymore from the ground, as he was in too much pain to speak.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought I gave you a chance for revenge, but you fell for it again, what a pity.
This time I’m not giving you any break, and you’ll be punished, too.
Medic, carry him away, oh, leave the protective gear behind.”
General Wolfgang, without any sympathy, had people carry the combat instructor away.
Then the remaining instructor moved his neck around, put on his protective gear, and summoned Gao Yang with a wave of his hand.
Gao Yang kicked out, and his opponent leaped backward, leaving Gao Yang without a chance to punch.
So, after his right foot landed, he lifted his left leg, using the power of his calf and a minimal motion yet extreme speed, kicked out.
However, his kick failed to reach his opponent, who leaped backward again.
Gao Yang’s Groin Kick was originally a one-shot deal, and since a sneaky move banks on that one unexpected moment, when he first failed to finish off Dusselyev with it in the elevator, Gao Yang had been searching for ways to enhance his killer move.
Comprehensively improving his combat capability like Li Jinfang, who was a formidable fighter, wasn’t feasible, so Gao Yang and Li Jin spent a long time designing the perfect sneaky move for him—the ultimate low-down trick that could greet the groin from near or far.
However, Gao Yang’s killer move had been used for the first time.
Although he successfully executed one, he was powerless to perform the second because his opponent was only focused on dodging, with no intention of fighting head on.
This immediately put Gao Yang, who relied on underhanded tactics, at a disadvantage.
Nevertheless, Gao Yang’s opponent only continuously retreated and dodged because he knew Gao Yang’s routines and habits, not to fight it out directly with him.
Had he faced someone unfamiliar with Gao Yang’s tactics, the three consecutive Groin Kicks would have been hard for anyone to avoid.
After evading, Gao Yang’s opponent let out a low growl and was about to pounce on Gao Yang, but just then, Wolf suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
“You can only defend, not attack!
Also, tell me honestly why you chose to keep retreating.”
After General Wolfgang spoke harshly, Gao Yang’s opponent was taken aback, then lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, General, I chose this specific combat style based on what I know about the opponent.
I couldn’t simulate a completely uninformed mode, and the Kick Ram put a lot of psychological pressure on me.”
Gao Yang helplessly said, “My name is Ram, not Kick Ram.”
Wolfgang waved his hand in dissatisfaction and then said sternly, “What would the outcome be if this were a real situation?”
“If I didn’t know Kick Ram’s fighting style, I definitely couldn’t have dodged his first kick.
It’s too fast.
If I knew he was Kick Ram, then he wouldn’t be able to pose any threat to me.
That’s the real situation.”
Wolfgang frowned and asked, “Are you sure?
Have you fought him before?”
“I haven’t fought him before, I’ve only heard his name and know the fighting pattern of the Kicking Squad, but Kick Ram kicks even faster.
If I were to treat him as a member of the Kicking Squad, I still couldn’t dodge that kick.
Moreover, if I weren’t very careful just now, I wouldn’t have been able to dodge the second kick either.
But once those two kicks are dodged, I could immediately take him down.”
Wolfgang nodded and said, “Understood, you can end now.”
After finishing, Wolfgang looked at Mr.
L and asked, “Are you satisfied?”
Mr.
L’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly saying, “Very satisfied, this is definitely suited for women’s self-defense, I mean, this set of consecutive skills, perfectly suited for our women… um, suitable for ladies to practice, of course, it’s also what we urgently need.
So let’s start right now.”
Gao Yang was extremely frustrated because his trump card was being referred to as women’s self-defense.
Although his combat skills were indeed suitable for the weaker to overcome the stronger, and fitting for women’s self-defense, Gao Yang still disliked his trump card being labeled as such.
Before Gao Yang could speak, someone from the lined-up Kicking Squad next to him objected in a bottled-up voice, “Sir, this isn’t women’s self-defense; this is a highly effective and lethal military combat technique!”
No one dared to speak against Wolfgang, but to Mr.
L, who wasn’t from the same system and had no military rank, Wolfgang’s subordinates weren’t so afraid.
Thus, someone immediately defended their specialized skills, and of course, expressed what Gao Yang felt in his heart.
Unperturbed by the rebuttal, Mr.
L merely said to Gao Yang, “Please begin.”
Gao Yang said with a deep voice, “Time is too tight, I can only teach the most basic and most important kick.
Before we start formally, I need Ms.
Haifa to see how this kick is used in various situations, and I also need to know, when Ms.
Haifa uses this kick, whether the subsequent reaction should make the target die instantly or leave a survivor.”
Before Mr.
L could speak, Ms.
Haifa immediately said, “Die!”
Gao Yang nodded, and turning to a student in front of him, said, “I won’t really kick you.
It’s very painful.
If you remember how it feels to be kicked, just react accordingly.”
After nodding and indicating that he was ready, Gao Yang stepped back a few steps and then casually walked up to the student.
After a sudden kick, the student clutched his leg and slowly fell forward, curving into a shrimp ball shape, his body convulsing.
Although it was just an act, the student apparently had a vivid memory of the agony of the real kick.
He simulated it very accurately, and Gao Yang then lifted his foot again.
After a fierce stomp behind the student’s neck on the ground, he loudly said, “Generally, the reaction of someone who gets kicked is the same.
If you want the opponent to die, then aim for the position of the cervical spine and stomp down.
The target will surely die.
Of course, your stomp has to be strong enough.
If you don’t want the target to die, you don’t have to do anything because, for a short time, the target won’t even have the strength to scream, or even simpler, the target will go into shock immediately.”
