Chapter 27 Breaking the Limits
Chen Chuan noticed that Coach Gu's breathing had not changed from the time he came on stage until the moment he did. This meant that he had probably maintained this breathing method for a long time. And as a coach, he was very likely to have great strength, so he had to be careful later.
Coach Gu saluted with his fists.
Chen Chuan also clasped his fists.
After Coach Gu put down his hand, he reminded him, "Little brother, be careful."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand as if to part the grass, lowered his head, and rushed forward with his body. His movements were seen clearly, but he unexpectedly came close to Chen Chuan in an instant. This move did not seem like the style of Xiu Jiang's boxing, and was extremely unexpected.
Chen Chuan saw that his hands were not steady and his body was looking left and right, and he couldn't tell where he was going to strike. He could only straighten his stance and respond to all changes with the same attitude.
Coach Gu changed the position of his hands, and suddenly he took a bow step and threw a punch straight to the center line. Chen Chuan lowered his center of gravity and met the enemy with the piercing and covering hand of his big scattered hand. This move was a combination of defense and offense, and he could counterattack the opponent while parrying.
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as my hands made contact, I suddenly felt an extremely explosive force surging out of Coach Gu's fist. At this moment, even my heels were lifted off the ground.
He knew it was not good, but Coach Gu kept moving. When his feet were not firmly planted, he suddenly jumped and did a roundhouse kick on the spot!
Chen Chuan crossed his hands and contracted his abdomen at the same time. Although he blocked the kick, he was kicked and flew sideways, finally hitting the ropes behind him.
After Coach Gu landed, he maintained the side-kick posture for a while before slowly lowering his foot. Suddenly, there was a burst of shouts and cheers from all around.
To be honest, they hadn't seen Coach Gu fight so seriously in a long time, because those who usually came to spar with him were knocked down by senior boxers with just three punches and two kicks, and it was basically never Coach Gu's turn to step in.
Chen Chuan straightened his waist on the ropes and stood up again. Although he was kicked back at the beginning, his spirits were high because he could feel that it was strong power!
I found the right person!
This is the kind of opponent he wants to see.
but……
He glanced at the "second me" beside him, and saw a large area of blur on it. He didn't expect that it would suffer so much damage with just one kick. The overlapping time was only a little over a minute, and based on past experience, this attack could only last for forty to fifty seconds at most.
If I get hit a few more times, there's no point in fighting anymore, as I might get hurt. It seems that to deal with this opponent, I have to try to end the fight in the shorter time possible.
Coach Gu watched him stand up straight with ease, his expression unchanged, but his heart was far less calm than he appeared.
Just now, he used the secret Paidang power of Xiu Jiang Quan. Most people who don't know the truth would feel numb all over and their muscles and bones would become loose after being hit by it. As for the kick at the end, it looked like it was just to kick the person out, but it was actually to make the force produce a double blow.
I originally thought that Chen Chuan would have no fighting power after just one blow, but now it seems that nothing happened. It doesn't seem like he is resisting with strength, but rather like he is simply resisting with his body.
It's difficult.
He actually doesn't really want to encounter an opponent with such outstanding physical fitness, because strength is not only a weapon, but also a tool for fighting training. Although it is convenient to use, it will also be a burden on the body if used too much.
What's more troublesome is that now the opponent knows his strength and must be on guard, so it won't be so easy to hit him. If he misses, it will be a waste of energy.
He took a breath, exhaled, and then his body rose and fell. He tapped the ground with the forefoot and took a stance. At this moment, the floor of the ring actually sank slightly.
Chen Chuan did not wait there. If you don’t come, then I will. He stepped forward directly and, guided by the breathing method, quickly approached.
Coach Gu watched him walk quickly forward and raised his knee as if to hit him in the face. Chen Chuan was on guard, raising one hand slightly, ready to change direction at any time. But at this moment, Coach Gu suddenly stomped his raised foot down heavily, and as his foot landed on the ground, waves appeared on the ground of the ring.
Chen Chuan suddenly felt a rise and fall under his feet, and his body felt dizzy.
Senior Brother Yan could see that the center of gravity under his feet was affected, and so could Coach Gu. This time, he transferred the force of the Paidang Jin directly to the ground.
At this moment, he leaned forward, stepped forward quickly, and grabbed Chen Chuan's right hand above the elbow. He turned his feet and his back was almost against his chest. He just needed to bend down and push forward to give him a solid shoulder throw!
Chen Chuan realized something was wrong and quickly raised his left hand to push his waist, trying to pull his right hand out in time. But at this time, Coach Gu suddenly changed his center of gravity and fell backwards due to the force of his pulling.
If someone were pressed to the ground, he would be able to roll over him. Under the crush, ordinary people might suffer broken bones and tendons. When Chen Chuan noticed this, he tightened his arms, which had not been withdrawn, and wrapped them around Coach Gu, twisting his waist hard, trying to throw the latter to a lower position in advance.
But Coach Gu reacted quickly. He turned in the direction of his arm's force and quickly stepped back, breaking away from him in an instant.
In the end, Chen Chuan was pushed back a few steps by him, and the two sides returned to their previous state of confrontation.
In these exchanges, both sides needed to react in an instant, counterattacking and being countered, and they were almost knocked down. The people watching below applauded, cheered and shouted that it was very exciting.
Coach Gu also sighed that the power reaction displayed by Chen Chuan was definitely not what he could show at his age. He was able to turn the situation that was unfavorable to him around.
Chen Chuan, however, knew his own business. He had just relied on the second me's comprehensively improved physical fitness, otherwise he would have been thrown to the ground at the beginning. Once on the ground, it would be the world of wrestling and chokeholds, not to mention that Coach Gu still had strength. Even if there was a second me at that time, the result would be hard to predict.
If it came down to skill, there was no way he could match his opponent's experience, so why bother fighting? He should have just been aggressive, taking full advantage of his second self's fearlessness of injury.
At this moment, he seemed to have figured something out and said, "I realized I was wrong."
"What?" Coach Gu was a little confused.
Chen Chuan suddenly put away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and smiled. Coach Gu didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
There was a friction sound from the ground under Chen Chuan's feet, and he suddenly rushed forward. At the same time, the second me instantly merged with him. To the people below, it seemed that a shadow appeared on the ring passing by.
"this……"
Coach Gu was shocked. Such a fast speed? He knew he couldn't retreat at this moment. If he did, Chen Chuan might catch up in a second. Then, because he couldn't get his stance right, he would be at the mercy of the enemy. He didn't have time to kick, so he could only push forward with a palm.
Chen Chuan walked forward without dodging and stretched out his arm, trying to push away the hand blocking his way. However, the moment of contact, he immediately felt a force rushing towards him that was exactly the same as before. It was obvious that the other party had exerted his strength in time.
But this time he turned his wrist and used a hook to grab Coach Gu's arm tightly, allowing the force to rush into his body without retreating a single step.
Coach Gu's eyes couldn't help but narrow.
The next moment, Chen Chuan used his own strength advantage to pull Coach Gu's arm outwards, stepped sideways forward, and thrust his elbow into his chest, using the force to break the limit and performing the "door-opening elbow" from Dasanshou!
Coach Gu saw the danger and let out a "Hi" at the critical moment. He did not dodge, but pulled the hand that was being pulled back, and used a counter-struggle, using his hand as a handle and his body as a hammer, and exerted his strength to actively hit the chest.
The next moment, there was a muffled bang on the stage, and both of them were shocked at the same time.
The people in the audience were watching nervously, but the two of them remained as they were and did not take any further action.
"Let's stop here." Coach Gu looked at Chen Chuan calmly.
Chen Chuan nodded.
The two men withdrew their hands at the same time, stood up straight, and looked at each other.
"good!"
There was first a cheer from the audience, followed by warm applause.
Chen Chuan clasped his fists towards Coach Gu and said sincerely, "I've gained a lot today. Thank you, Coach Gu."
He felt it was a pity that even with the limit-breaking attack, he was still unable to defeat Coach Gu. This guy was really amazing.
However, after a head-on confrontation with such an enemy, he roughly knew the level of a person with strong power, and he knew he would need to continue strengthening his training when he returned.
Coach Gu clasped his fists in return and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Xiujiang Boxing Gym is open to welcome guests. Excellent young people like you are welcome to come often."
Chen Chuan's eyes lit up and he said happily, "Okay."
Coach Gu was so happy to see that he agreed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
When Chen Chuan walked down from the ring, he found that a large crowd had gathered around him without him noticing. Most of the place in the boxing club was packed. When they saw him coming down, they automatically made way for him.
At this time, someone in the crowd waved to him, "Hi! Classmate!"
Chen Chuan looked over and immediately recognized Liang Tong, the classmate from the next class who had given him the flyer. He smiled and nodded at the latter, then walked straight out of the boxing gym.
After he left, Coach Gu said, "Okay, go home and train well."
After hearing what he said, the crowd dispersed in groups of three or four, but their excitement remained and they were still discussing enthusiastically.
Just as Coach Gu was about to leave the stage, Liang Tong excitedly ran up and said, "Coach Gu, Coach Gu, that's my classmate. I think he got into Wuhan University."
Coach Gu looked at him, said "Oh", and said, "You guys go around for a while." Then he left Liang Tong confused and went back to his lounge alone.
After closing the door, the seriousness on his face finally disappeared. He covered his chest and grimaced. He took off his shirt, revealing a black and blue area on his chest.
He took a bottle of medicinal wine from the cabinet and started applying it, but he hissed in pain as he did so.
"This kid's punches are really powerful. At least two ribs are broken. No, three..."
He knew very well that if he had not used the technique of force counterattack at the last moment to prevent Chen Chuan from exerting full strength, his internal organs might have been impacted.
"But this punch doesn't seem to be about sheer force. It seems to be just pure strength, coupled with some special techniques..."
"Hiss, luckily he doesn't have the power. If he had learned the power with this strength, what would have happened? Wouldn't he have killed me with one punch today?"
He muttered to himself as he thought, "Wuhan University? I don't know how many years I've been studying here, these academic students are really amazing... Next time? I think you'd better not come next time."
Chen Chuan had already walked out of the boxing gym at this time. Seeing that the second me was almost completely ineffective, in the final fight, in addition to suffering two consecutive powerful attacks, his own limit-breaking attack also caused some damage. Now there was only less than ten seconds of overlap time left.
He recalled what had just happened and thought that Coach Gu was worthy of being the coach of the boxing gym. He was really experienced in dealing with things. He would ask for more advice if there was a chance.
It was the end of a busy day, with cars and people coming and going on the streets, and everything appearing golden red under the setting sun. He exhaled, took brisk steps, and in a moment he was lost in the bustling crowd.
