Chapter 434: Chapter 399 Misik’s ’Story

The fourth match in the heavyweight category was chosen by the Brazil Team. They knew that Li San could compete in both the heavyweight and light heavyweight categories, but they weren’t sure which one he would sign up for, so they took a chance and chose the heavyweight category, only to end up facing Li San.

Seeing Li San step onto the stage, many spectators from Hua Country let out a huge sigh of relief and smiles spread across their faces.

"We’ve got this!"

"With Li San in this match, we can wrap it up."

"4:2, Hua Country Team advances to the finals!"

...

As Li San entered the competition, spectators from Hua Country also commented online with a relaxed tone. Previously, Li San, being lighter, had defeated an opponent who was over 70 kilograms heavier than him. This match left a deep impression on everyone, making them subconsciously believe that Li San had no problem fighting in the heavyweight category!

The player from the Brazil Team was also a member of the Gracie family, named Misik Gracie, the 90kg champion at the World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship, with an overall score of S (43%).

The Brazil Team had six S-ranked masters in total, all of whom were men, and three were from the Gracie family.

Misik’s overall score was second only to Silvar; according to the paper strength, he should be the second strongest player on the Brazilian side, and because his weight class was heavyweight, if he were to fight against Silvar on the ground, given his weight advantage of several tens of kilograms, it was still uncertain who would lose or win.

Although he spoke lightly, Li San was very cautious when facing Misik.

His recorded weight was 82kg, still in the middleweight category, while his opponent weighed 118kg, a whole 72 kilograms heavier than him!

The match started quickly, and Misik was careful not to strike rashly.

The previous match, where Li San had completely dominated his opponent, drew the attention of all heavyweight fighters. It was no exaggeration to say that Li San’s match had been studied over and over again by heavyweights like Misik!

Facing Li San’s "Borrowing Force to Strike" technique, which was like spinning a top, Misik and his coaching team’s conclusion was to fight defensively and counterattack, trying not to initiate attacks.

Therefore, after the match began, despite Misik’s advantages in physique and strength, he was very cautious and did not strike, simply edging closer to Li San and throwing tentative punches.

Li San easily dodged two punches and, seeing the opponent had decided to conserve energy for defense, made his move; he turned sideways, his right arm swinging out in a Tai Chi Whip Hand strike.

Bang!

Misik raised his right arm to block, but was pushed back by Li San’s powerful Single Whip strike.

"Oooh!"

The audience erupted in exclamations. Although they had seen it once before, watching Li San push back an opponent who was over 70 kilograms heavier than him once again astonished the spectators; it seemed so unbelievable.

After landing the strike, Li San did not hesitate and immediately followed up with a vigorous attack using the Chen-style Tai Chi Five Hammers:

Right parry, left block, bow stance, right punch from the chest center—this was the Side-to-Side Parry Hammer!

Turn around, side cover, twist waist, turn hips, stomp feet, right chop, left wrap—this was the Side Body Hammer!

Leap forward, left shake, right dodge, from bottom to top—this was the Groin Strike!

Right arm swung up, the back of the fist whipping across the opponent’s head and face—this was the Covering Body Hammer!

...

Li San’s offensive was fierce, like an ancient battlefield warrior wielding two heavy mixed-copper hammers, swinging furiously from side to side!

Misik was overpowered and reduced to only defending without attacking, continuously retreating.

Fortunately, he had the advantage of weight and was much more resistant to hits than lighter fighters; even if he took a couple of punches, it didn’t matter much. However, under Li San’s deliberate control, Misik was gradually pushed towards the edge of the ring, and if he retreated further, he would eventually fall off the stage.

As Misik was about to reach the edge of the ring, he finally chose to attack, lurching forward with a fierce thrusting jab towards Li San’s face.

Li San, waiting for just this moment, dodged sideways while his right hand caught onto the opponent’s wrist, pulling forward.

Misik, after throwing his punch, quickly retracted his force, preferring to cut off any follow-up attack rather than give Li San the chance to use his force against him.

However, Li San capitalized on the moment Misik retracted his force, exploding forward, his right hand grabbing Misik’s wrist and pushing it forward, his body advancing as he landed a Groin Strike to the opponent’s lower abdomen.

Misik staggered back, and Li San advanced, landing two consecutive punches that knocked his opponent off the stage.

"Good!"

The audience from Hua Country cheered loudly.

Misik walked back to the ring with a look of defeat. This time, he changed his tactics, no longer focusing solely on defense but initiating attacks. However, due to his wariness of Li San’s "Borrowing Force to Strike," his attacks were inconsistent, and he stopped promptly after each move without following up.

This style posed little threat to Li San, who seized the opportunity to launch vigorous attacks on his opponent, pushing him back bit by bit.

It seemed Misik was out of options with Li San. If he went all out in attack, he feared becoming a "Gyroscope." If he focused on defensive counterattack, the slow rhythm of his attacks gave Li San ample time to gather strength and continuously force him back, pushing him off the ring.

Heavyweight Nemesis! Li San proved this title on the field once again.

In less than three minutes, Misik had been knocked off the ring by Li San twice. One more time, and he would be eliminated, and the Brazil Team would lose this match entirely.

After returning to the ring once again, Misik seemed to be making a desperate final effort, attacking with all his might.

But Li San was not afraid of this approach. He switched into his "Gyroscope Style," constantly utilizing the shift in center of gravity, neutralizing and adding force, speeding up Misik’s movements.

Misik’s attacks became faster, and he gradually neared the edge of the ring.

However, just when everyone thought Misik would be spun off the ring like an out-of-control gyroscope by Li San’s "Whip," a sudden change occurred!

Li San slapped his palm on Misik’s back, and as Misik lunged forward, he swung back with a fierce "Turning Elbow" using his right leg as the pivot.

Li San reached forward with both hands, grabbed the incoming right elbow of his opponent, and was about to pull and drag, but Misik suddenly dropped his body downward, voluntarily giving up his center of gravity!

This change surprised Li San, as Misik had been diligently protecting his center of gravity from the start. Even when he began attacking with full force, he remained restrained, trying not to lose control.

Such tactics led Li San into a pattern of habitual thinking, subconsciously not considering the possibility that his opponent would voluntarily give up his center of gravity. Not just Li San, but even the spectators like Wu Li and Li Tongyun did not expect Misik to suddenly fight this way.

"Damn!"

Li Tongyun was the first to realize—Misik was from the Gracie family, and he was best at ground fighting techniques!

At this desperate moment, Misik threw himself forward, embraced Li San’s waist with one arm, and fiercely brought Li San down to the ground.

Misik, a Jiu Jitsu master, was best at ground fighting techniques. This was something Li San certainly wouldn’t overlook, and Li Tongyun had designed several tactics for this, yet at this moment Li San was still taken down.

Was it Li San being careless? Not really. Li San had been very cautious throughout, but Misik had told Li San a very convincing "story."

From the start, he was "sugar-coating tactics" for Li San: "Your ’Borrowing Force to Strike’ is formidable, I’m wary of you so I dare not to fully attack, focusing on defense instead."

This "sugar" continued until the first time Misik was knocked off the ring by Li San, by which time Li San and everyone else had subconsciously believed it due to Misik’s very natural performance: he was gradually pressed to the edge of the ring, and in desperation he launched a powerful counterattack, only to be methodically knocked off by the prepared Li San.

Next, Misik continued "sugar-coating": "With defensive counterattacking I can’t handle you, so I will initiate my attacks."

This change was forced on Misik, so in Li San’s view, his tactics were successful, and he still held the initiative.

But just now, after being knocked off the ring twice, Misik started attacking with all his might, seemingly as his last resort.

By this point, Li San had fallen into Misik’s narrative: "I can’t find a way to defeat you, I tried everything but you neutralized it, I’m going to lose."

Thus, Li San subconsciously overlooked the possibility of Misik engaging in ground fighting because Misik led the pace so well, giving Li San the illusion of either "this or that, neither my attacks nor counterdefenses work, I’ve done my best."

When Li San was tackled to the ground, he instantly realized his mistake and immediately tried to break free from Misik.

However, having used two chances to knock Li San down, how could Misik easily let him go? He clung to Li San with all his might, and both entered ground combat.

Undoubtedly, Li San was not skilled in ground combat.

Theoretically, to compete in mixed martial arts, one must possess ground-fighting skills, even if they are not proficient, at least not too weak.

But firstly, unlike Wu Li, who had a system that could swiftly enhance ground-fighting skills, even focusing extensively on it, Li San wouldn’t see much improvement in a short period.

Secondly, Li San had always shown skills that seemed to allow him to handle his opponents in standing combat, seeming never to need to fight on the ground. His "Gyroscope Style" was far too restrictive for heavyweight fighters, leading everyone to subconsciously ignore his weakness in ground techniques.

At this moment, as Misik dragged Li San into ground combat, everyone tensed up.

Being 72 pounds heavier was a huge advantage; it’s like a weightlifter who can lift 200 pounds, but adding even a pound more during that time might make it impossible to lift. In combat, a difference of more than ten pounds in weight could cause a qualitative change, let alone 72 pounds?

Though Li San could move Misik during the stand-up fight, in the ground combat, entering static grappling, his disadvantage in weight became enormously magnified.

After grappling for over a minute, despite Li San’s utmost efforts, he was slowly overpowered as Misik locked his right leg joint, leaving him no choice but to admit defeat.

In the fourth match, Li San was defeated by his opponent, to everyone’s surprise.

The score became 3:3, tying the match between the Hua Country Team and the Brazil Team, leading to the final deciding round!
