Atlas of Heaven and Man

After Yu Gang pointed out Chen Chuan's mistakes and inappropriate actions, Chen Chuan reflected on his shortcomings. Although he had won, it was a very lucky victory.

He had planned well at the beginning, thinking about how to attack, how to fight, and how to defend, but when it came to the actual execution, it was a completely different story. Moreover, there were various problems such as action distortion and inaccurate timing.

Don't think that the palm strike that hit Lu Ke later was because an opportunity happened to arise; it was an impromptu performance. If Lu Ke had simultaneously grabbed and pressed his head when he jumped up, he might not have been able to deliver such a smooth blow, and he might have been the one to lose.

He gained a lot from this actual combat. It made him understand that even if he practiced skills well and skillfully, he might not be able to perform them when it came to a real fight, because the real combat situation is far more complicated than training.

Lu Ke complained a bit at this time: "Master, you don't allow me to use grappling techniques. I'm restricted, and I only remember that I can't use many moves after I've already made them. I'm just not used to it..."

Yu Gang said in a deep voice: "Every place has its own rules. Now I am setting the rules for you, but when you go to other places, others will set the rules for you. If you don't obey, do you think you have room to argue? You will only be excluded and eliminated. If you are not used to it, then find a way to adapt."

Lu Ke was upset, but this was mainly directed at Chen Chuan. He always listened to Yu Gang, so he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Master, I was wrong."

Yu Gang said: "You two seize the time to rest and relax in the way I taught you. We'll continue later."

Chen Chuan went to the side. He didn't sit down, picked up his water cup, and took a few sips. Under the guidance of the breathing technique, his originally consumed physical strength quickly recovered. At the same time, he was thinking about how to fight in the next round and how Lu Ke would make his moves.

This kind of prediction and analysis, in addition to physical confrontation, is more about a contest of mental strength when the strengths of both sides are not very different.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the two began their second match.

Chen Chuan did not become conservative because he won a round, and still maintained a positive attitude. Lu Ke also learned from the last lesson and used more combinations of real and feigned punches and kicks. However, he was still wary of Chen Chuan's moves, so overall he was still biased towards being conservative.

This time, neither of them could do anything to the other until the end, so Yu Gang judged that neither of them scored.

After this round, Chen Chuan believed that Lu Ke should be putting his winning move in the third round, so this round was a test. But not only did he not feel anything bad, but he was also very much looking forward to it.

Yu Gang stood calmly aside, silently watching the performance and reactions of the two.

Five minutes later, the two once again walked to the middle of the field to conduct the last match of the day.

Lu Ke immediately rushed up at the beginning. At this time, he had almost adapted to the rules, and he didn't have to save his energy for the last round. He could attack at all costs, and he was not so wary of Chen Chuan's moves.

His strength was originally above Chen Chuan's. Once he let go, he immediately suppressed the latter.

Faced with his fierce punches and kicks, fast-moving steps, and almost non-stop offensive, Chen Chuan could only passively defend without using his "Second Self", making it difficult to make effective counterattacks.

However, the existence of the breathing technique allowed his stamina and resistance to blows to be sufficient to cope with such a fast-paced offensive, and he was gradually adapting. During this period, he never gave up looking for opportunities, and from time to time he could return a more threatening blow, forcing Lu Ke's continuous attack to be interrupted.

He was not successful by Lu Ke until the end of this round.

After the end of the third round, Yu Gang judged that Lu Ke had scored one point because of his obvious advantage. In this way, Chen Chuan won the total of the three rounds, so the work of cleaning up everything today was still handed over to Lu Ke.

Chen Chuan suddenly felt very hungry after coming down from the field, knowing that the breathing technique had increased his consumption. He walked to the side and sat down, and ate three nutrient bars in a row before regaining a little energy and strength.

Lu Ke didn't have his recovery ability. He was panting slightly there, with sweat pouring down his body. While drinking water, he tapped and kneaded various parts of his body to relieve the tension and stagnation brought about by the confrontation.

Yu Gang said to the two: "Today is only the first day. From now on, you will have to confront each other every day. I will gradually increase the number of times, and you must adapt as soon as possible."

Lu Ke took a sip of water and said: "Master, Young Master Chen may not be able to do those tiring tasks. I'll do it all the time in the future, and there's no need to divide the wins and losses."

Chen Chuan said: "Brother Lu is being polite. Winning is winning, and losing is losing. With the breathing technique, it won't be too tiring to do things."

Lu Ke suddenly stopped talking, just silently drinking water.

In the days that followed, under Yu Gang's arrangement, the two mainly focused on actual combat every day. After each confrontation, Yu Gang would analyze the reasons, so that the two would know where the problem was, how to correct it, and how to do it correctly.

During this period, Yu Gang began to teach Chen Chuan some more complex applications of Sanshou moves, including elbow strikes, knee tops, grabs, holds, throws, and strangulation techniques. As the progress continued, the restrictions in the confrontation were gradually relaxed, which was also beneficial to Lu Ke, because he was more familiar with these techniques, and his chances of winning became greater as a result.

Chen Chuan did not shrink back because of the difficulties, but welcomed such confrontations, which allowed him to quickly become familiar with various techniques in the battle and accumulate more experience.

Lu Ke was just right as an opponent. He was not too strong, but he allowed Chen Chuan to have the possibility of catching up, so he felt the growth of his own strength almost every day. To be honest, this feeling was really good. In particular, the overlap time of the "Second Self" was also slowly increasing during this stage.

The only thing that made him feel regretful was that Yu Gang only allowed them to compete three times a day, once each in the morning, noon, and evening. In fact, he felt that with his and Lu Ke's physical strength, he could arrange a few more times, so he also made a suggestion to Yu Gang, but Yu Gang did not respond to this.

Until one time, after the confrontation ended, he noticed that Lu Ke's breathing suddenly became a little rapid, and he also ran to a corner alone, as if he was swallowing something. He vaguely realized something in his heart, and then he never said anything about increasing the confrontation.

Because of the high consumption of fighting training, it also requires sufficient nutrition. His daily diet is also solved here in Yu Gang. In addition to nutrient bars, a fixed meal is black meat pumpkin rice.

In Yu Gang's normal perception, the damage caused by the breathing technique is hidden very deeply and may accompany a boxer for a lifetime, so it is necessary to repair it as much as possible while young, and continuous eating for two months can achieve a certain degree of repair, but even so, some of the damaged places will never be repaired.

This is a helpless place, and it is also the price of taking shortcuts. After all, boxers from civilian backgrounds have limited money and resources, and they can only consume their own bodies.

Chen Chuan nodded. He paid fifty yuan at the beginning, and added fifty yuan Jian Yuan coins in the middle of the month. Now he has to give it again.

However, this is money that should be spent, and it is almost all spent on himself. In fact, Yu Gang didn't charge much. Continuous nutrient bars, daily meals, equipment, venues, sparring partners, etc. are all far more than that if you count the expenses.

He said: "I will send it to Mr. tomorrow."

Yu Gang was about to say something when suddenly there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside. They couldn't help but stop talking.

Chen Chuan looked out. The entrances and exits of this place are the long alleys in the front and back. He has been here for more than a month, and there is almost no one else except them. Now it seems that the peace has been broken by the people who came.

Lu Ke looked at Yu Gang. At the latter's signal, he immediately put down the water bottle and things in his hand and ran out. After a while, there was a burst of talking outside. Lu Ke was communicating with the other side, but the other side's tone seemed to be quite polite. After a while, Lu Ke ran back and said, "Master, it's Tie..."

Yu Gang interrupted him and said, "I know." He stood up and said to Chen Chuan, "You continue to train. I'll go out and take care of things." Saying that, he strode out, and Lu Ke also quickly followed.
