Chapter 443: Chapter 408: Flanking Tactics

Xu Chuan’s current overall score is an A (78%), and he’s only a step away from reaching the Master Level of Xingyi Fist, having improved rapidly since the start of the competition.

However, in this competition, there was no doubt he was the weakest participant in the arena.

Originally in the welterweight category, Guo Dongyang was stronger than Xu Chuan, but since Guo Dongyang was injured, Xu Chuan had to step in.

The four contestants stepped onto the specially made ring, and two referees stood on either side, quickly signalling for the match to begin.

As soon as the match started, Li San and Xu Chuan seemed to have agreed beforehand, retreating together at a high speed.

George and Kermy hesitated for a moment before quickly catching up, but they didn’t rashly attack.

However, they quickly realized something was amiss—why were Li San and Xu Chuan continuously retreating?

By the time they decided to try attacking, Li San and Xu Chuan had already reached the edge of the ring, standing there coldly watching the two men.

This stance made George and Kermy even more hesitant, because in a 2VS2 unlike 1VS1, falling off the ring just once meant elimination.

Xu Chuan alone wasn’t to be feared, but he had Li San beside him, whose ’Gyroscope Style’ of fighting using borrowed force had left a deep impression on everyone. George and Kermy didn’t dare act recklessly for fear of accidentally falling into a trap and being thrown off by Li San.

"Come on!"

Kermy, seeing Li San and Xu Chuan standing still, beckoned them provocatively with his hands.

"Get ready."

Li San whispered to Xu Chuan, who silently gathered strength.

"Charge!"

At his signal, both of them rushed forward.

Li San charged towards the stronger George, while Xu Chuan rushed towards Kermy, bursting forward with great speed gained from their amassed power!

Seeing this, George and Kermy instead breathed a sigh of relief; they had been afraid that Li San and Xu Chuan would keep waiting at the edge, and now that they were charging forward, naturally, they were unafraid.

George and Kermy stood at a moderate distance, around two meters apart—just one step needed to reach and assist each other readily.

Li San clenched his fists, delivering a Beng Fist from below upwards towards George.

George, excited in his eyes, was eager to gauge Li San’s power; he didn’t dodge and swung his arm down fiercely like a blade.

He was a Karate master, his skills even surpassing many experts in Japan.

Bang!

The two collided with a single strike, but Li San didn’t retreat a single step and swiftly changed his tactic from Beng Fist to Side Body Hammer, swinging his right arm horizontally!

The force shook George’s right arm, causing a surge of blood and a flash of surprise in his heart. No longer trying to out-muscle Li San, he took a step back to avoid the attack.

Having dominated the welterweight category in UFC for five consecutive years, known as ’Saint George,’ he was one of the most respected and skilled experts in the American Team, next to Jon and Miouqi. He naturally had pride, but after clashing with Li San, he immediately set aside other thoughts and acknowledged Li San as a rare formidable opponent.

George stepped forward, raising his right arm to deliver a downward strike, a signature move of Karate called Wave-cutting!

Li San drew a circle with his left hand, intercepting George’s right arm, pressing downward fluently, and neutralized the Wave-cutting, immediately following up with Block and Thrust.

George raised his left arm in front of him as if it were a large iron shield, a defensive posture known as Arm Shield in Karate.

The two skillfully exchanged blows, with a flurry of moves within moments.

Meanwhile, Xu Chuan charged towards Kermy using Tiger Hugging Head but was blocked. He immediately switched direction with Horse Jumping Creek, stepping quickly to Kermy’s right side.

Kermy, having more strength and resistance to hits than Xu Chuan, and not slower either, forced Xu Chuan to avoid a head-on attack and wait for a chance to strike from the side.

Kermy turned swiftly, swinging a Hook that howled in the wind towards Xu Chuan’s temple.

Xu Chuan moved again, changing direction and simultaneously striking Kermy’s arm with his fist.

Kemer didn’t care and suddenly lashed out with a leg, sweeping a spinning kick toward Xu Chuan.

However, Xu Chuan, as if he had anticipated it, stepped back in advance, skillfully dodging Kemer’s sweep, and then stepped forward again, delivering a Half-step Breaking Fist toward Kemer.

The two exchanged blows rapidly. Kemer’s counterattacks were quick and delicate, but Xu Chuan could always stay on beat to avoid Kemer’s moves, which left Kemer feeling stifled, as if he were punching into cotton.

When Li Tongyun had fought Kemer, he had relied on his understanding of Kemer, and his greater agility to constantly circle around Kemer and take the offensive. Although it wasn’t expected that Xu Chuan would end up fighting Kemer, Li Tongyun had detailed Kemer’s tactics in a tactical analysis class, and he had provided several strategies which Xu Chuan was now employing against Kemer.

In reality, this style of fighting meant Xu Chuan had to keep moving and changing directions frequently, leading to significant energy consumption, and his attacks were not much of a threat to Kemer since Kemer not only had outstanding resistance to hits but also defended very well.

However, Xu Chuan didn’t actually intend to defeat Kemer, knowing there was a gap in strength between them; his goal was merely to prolong the fight.

The four men on the field exchanged blows, moving around until they gradually approached the corner of the ring.

There were four round pillars, one in each corner of the ring, designed to allow some fighters who were good at grappling to back into the corners and fight with their backs against the pillars.

At this point, Xu Chuan was about to have his back against one of these pillars, while Li San and George were fighting not far from him.

After Xu Chuan once again changed direction to dodge an attack from Kemer, he closed in to counter-attack, not with punches or kicks, but by suddenly grabbing Kemer’s right arm.

"Senior!" shouted Xu Chuan.

Hearing this, Li San suddenly burst into action, driving back George with a Covering Body Hammer, and then immediately rushed toward Kemer!

Kemer, realizing something was wrong as Xu Chuan grabbed his right arm and hearing Xu Chuan’s shout, understood it was the enemy’s tactic. So, while forcefully pulling back his right arm, he swung his left fist at Xu Chuan’s head.

Bang!

To his surprise, Xu Chuan didn’t dodge or flinch, letting Kemer’s fist smash into his temple.

Xu Chuan’s eyes momentarily clouded, but his hands still firmly dragged Kemer.

At that moment, Li San had already charged up; Kemer, dragged by Xu Chuan, couldn’t dodge in time and could only smash another heavy punch on Xu Chuan’s temple.

No matter what, knock out one first!

Bang!

Xu Chuan’s eyes rolled back, and finally, his hands let go, his body collapsing to the ground.

Meanwhile, Li San had also reached the right side of Kemer’s body, bent down, grabbed Kemer’s waist with both hands, and leveraging the full force of his sprint, he shockingly charged toward the edge of the ring with Kemer in his arms.

It seemed like Li San was going to charge out of the ring with Kemer!

The entire arena gasped in shock. At this point, Xu Chuan had been KO’d. If Li San were to fall off the ring with Kemer, they would be disqualified together, leaving George still on the stage. That would mean a loss for the Hua Country Team.

Everything happened too quickly; in the blink of an eye, Li San had already carried Kemer to the edge of the ring.

Kemer, half of his body already over the edge, also reacted, hurriedly grabbing Li San’s arms intending to pull him down together.

Li San’s hands pressed against Kemer’s waist, he pushed forcefully, then his arms swung upward, twisting, breaking free from Kemer’s hold.

But by this time, most of Li San’s body was also leaning out of the ring, his whole posture forward-leaning.

A smile spread across Kemer’s face; he thought Li San would fall out of the ring in the next second, and even if he had some move to steady himself, it wouldn’t matter because George was about to rush over, needing only a light kick to knock Li San off.

However, in the next second, Kemer’s smile stiffened.

Li San lifted his right leg, bent his foot, and hooked it around the cylindrical pillar on the body’s right side.

The pillar had a diameter of one meter; Li San couldn’t completely hook it with his foot, but he only needed to borrow a little force.

Swoosh!

By this time George had already rushed behind Li San and kicked out with his right leg.

However, Li San, with his right foot hooked on the pillar and his left leg pushing hard, swung his body, leaving the ring entirely, and turned half a circle to the right. Then, facing the pillar, he wrapped his arms around it and used its force to land back on the ring, shifting from the left side of the pillar to its right.
