Martial Arts: Chill! I’m Just A Farmer! - Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Xiao Ming’s Misunderstanding
In the arena, the battle between the two had officially begun! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Xiao Ming used both of his hands and feet in his vicious strikes. Still, Li Wei showed no signs of frailty, and his free-fighting moves were just as powerful.
The two of them had shown off their distinct combat styles in a matter of seconds! The audience roared with delight.
“Xiao Ming’s attack is lightning quick! As you might expect from the fastest person!”
“Li Wei’s counterattack is also extremely potent! The whip kick has a lot of force! Even a power pole would be knocked over by it.”
“Also, notice how well-coordinated his movements are! It was rapidly stretching! This Li Wei has a great deal of promise!”
Suddenly, before anyone had finished speaking, the scene transformed once more. Xiao Ming, who had been fighting Li Wei for some time and seemed evenly matched, abruptly distanced himself!
He stomped on the ground and did a backflip. His short body jumped far away, again putting some distance between him and Li Wei. This was followed by him speeding around the arena, searching for an opening to attack.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party was planning. He shouted, “What are you jumping around
for?”
He could not make sense of it. This was not a race or an acrobatic contest, so what was this guy doing running around?
As the saying goes, “the layman sees the fun, while the expert sees the tricks.” Unlike the audience, who only liked to watch the fun, Xiao Ming retreated because he had discovered an incredible fact. After the exchange of blows, he realized that he could not find any flaws in his opponent at all!
Li Wei’s basic skills were too good! They were both martial artist students, so Xiao Ming could easily guess. He believed it would take him at least two to three years to persist with such fundamental abilities!
This was also the thing that most perplexed and frightened him. Since they were all in high school, their daily lessons and responsibilities were mainly the same.
In a typical situation, all students would be most concerned with improving their vitality. It was, after all, the bedrock of their existence. Most of their time, naturally, would be dedicated to learning and practicing. In terms of fighting tactics, they were all honed per the sub-subjects.
Li Wei’s fighting style was so sophisticated and did not even look like it belonged to a student. He executed all of the maneuvers and defenses flawlessly, and the stances and applications looked straight out of a textbook!
Standard, smooth, and powerful!
At the same instant, Li Wei actively sought a way to counterattack. Even the most gifted person would require two to three years of arduous practice to master such a skill!
Xiao Ming could not understand how it could be. How had the last two or three years of his education been allotted for someone who could inflict a vitality value of 8 or higher with a single punch?
He had to learn fighting techniques and increase his vitality together? Then they had both been cultivated to such an outstanding level? No! This was impossible!
Xiao Ming immediately dismissed this unrealistic speculation. There simply was not that much time to be allocated! It was impossible to train both of them to be so outstanding simultaneously in vitality cultivation and fighting techniques! Xiao Ming, a standout student, had once entertained the idea. Ultimately, he had no choice but to compromise due to his little time. The boy could only devote more time to cultivating his vitality, which was of utmost importance. However, when he realized this basic logic, his doubts and terror grew more profound!
“Why would Li Wei spend so much time on fighting techniques? Could it be that there’s some sure-kill technique hidden here?” Xiao Ming’s forehead was covered in sweat. Li Wei went against common sense!
He had the impression that Li Wei was the kind of genius that only showed up once every hundred years. Without this, how else could he account for his high vitality value of over 8 points?
At the same time, he felt a little lucky! He was glad he did not continue to go on the offensive with Li Wei. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would force the latter to use his hidden killing move!
Xiao Ming was not ill-prepared for the duel at all. He had also attempted to investigate Li Wei’s past. However, there was nothing else to go on but that his vitality was at the bottom of the class.
This, coupled with the guy’s previous and current performances, made him a genuinely mysterious character. Xiao Ming was forced to resort to a more indirect method of defeating the opponent. He would use his superior physical strength to exhaust the opponent.
He would harass them continuously and then look for an opportunity to end the match. This was the most reliable method! Xiao Ming’s body grew more agile as he cursed his poor luck. He constantly shuttled back and forth on the arena, using his speed to ensure his safety, determined not to give Li Wei a chance to initiate an attack.
Xiao Ming’s thoughts would likely enrage his opponent if he were to tell him. Li Wei had been wronged! How could he not wish to boost his vitality in the last two to three years? There was no other way!
Without the system farm, he would be a worker after high school. As a result, he could only devote more time to strengthening his physical capabilities. This was a decision he had no choice but to make!
Naturally, they were unable to read each other’s minds. They could only carry on the match with their own conceptions.
Li Wei’s face was perplexed as he stared at the ever-shifting afterimages of his opponent. “Why isn’t this guy fighting me anymore? Do I appear overly powerful?”
From the beginning of the fight, he had been controlling his vitality, trying to maintain it at around 8.3. His battle tactics required him to maintain the same vitality as his opponent to win a ferocious battle. This way, he could confuse the audience.
He could see, though, that Xiao Ming was attempting to distance them. He even looked scared and cautious. How was he going to play this game?
What on earth had happened?
