"The show is about to begin!"
Commander Li and Political Commissar Wang were very interested in the competition, but unfortunately, it was not appropriate for them to watch it live. So, they hid in a nearby building and watched it through binoculars.
"Who do you think will win?" Political Commissar Wang asked with a smile.
"I think Wang Bin is the best candidate!" Commander Li said with a smile.
"How about we make a bet?"
"Okay, what do you want to bet on?"
"I bet Zhang Sheng will win. If I win, you'll take out your half-bottle and we'll drink it together today?"
"Okay, what if you lose?"
"If I lose, how about I give you my treasured pack of cigarettes?"
"Okay, it's settled then!"
The guards behind them found it amusing to see the two leaders acting so childish, but they dared not laugh out loud.
In these times of scarcity, these two leaders usually don't smoke or drink alcohol, only taking it out when they are particularly happy. But now, for this competition, they have brought out their respective treasures, which can be said to be a huge investment.
The competition began quickly. Battalion Commander Zhang's Iron Sand Palm was extremely fierce, and he immediately launched a fierce attack on Wang Bin.
Wang Bin dared not be careless, and he also used half of his internal strength to unleash the Mighty Vajra Palm and attack Zhang, the battalion commander.
Both of them moved very quickly, exchanging more than ten slaps in an instant, with neither of them gaining the upper hand.
Even though many people don't understand martial arts, they can tell from the movements of the two men and the sound of their palms clapping that they are both very skilled in martial arts.
The two exchanged a palm strike and each took three steps back.
At first, both sides were only making tentative attacks and not going all out. After the initial probing, both sides had gained a better understanding of each other, and now they were going to get serious.
"I didn't expect you to be even more powerful than I thought. From now on, I'm going to go all out!"
"Me too!"
Wang Bin smiled faintly. This feeling of being evenly matched was wonderful, and it greatly helped him master the boxing technique.
"drink!"
Battalion Commander Zhang shouted and jumped over, delivering a kick followed by a back kick after a turn, and then a storm of palm strikes came rushing towards Wang Bin.
Wang Bin remained calm and focused intently on Zhang's every move.
Master Li Zhengguo once said that every move of the opponent can be predicted. For example, you can tell what the opponent's next move will be from the twisting of each joint. It is very difficult for ordinary people to do this. However, Wang Bin's agility is very high, far exceeding that of Battalion Commander Zhang. He can predict many of the opponent's moves and thus defend in advance.
However, Battalion Commander Zhang's palm technique was too fast and the movements were very fluid. Even if he saw the opponent's flaws many times, he had no chance to make a move and could only use his defense most of the time.
To outsiders, Wang Bin seemed powerless to fight back, being forced to retreat step by step by Battalion Commander Zhang, and everyone thought that Battalion Commander Zhang was going to win again this time.
Guan Xiaoyue, in particular, was very concerned about Wang Bin. When she saw Wang Bin being beaten down to the point of only being able to defend, her heart was pounding with anxiety. If she could, she really wanted to go up and compete in Wang Bin's place.
Officer Miao was also a semi-expert in combat, so she could see things more clearly than the others. Although Wang Bin was being constantly pressured, he was not injured at all. Moreover, she knew that when one side launches a fierce attack, it consumes a lot of energy.
Martial arts competitions are not simply about who has the hardest fist, as people imagine. In addition to individual strength, a person's intelligence is also very important.
Just like when we watch NBA or football games, we often add a sentence when praising an excellent player: "He understands the game," or "He plays with his brain."
The same applies to martial arts competitions; they require thinking and understanding tactics.
Seeing Guan Xiaoyue looking very nervous beside him, Officer Miao smiled, put his arm around Guan Xiaoyue's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he will definitely win!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Xiaoyue excitedly asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't you see that Wang Bindao isn't injured at all? Fighting isn't just about brute force; it also requires brains!"
"Yes, Brother Wang will definitely win!"
Hearing Officer Miao's words, Guan Xiaoyue finally smiled happily.
However, a discordant sound came from not far away.
"But that's just wishful thinking. Wang Bin is bound to lose!"
"What did you say? Are you looking for a beating?" Officer Miao was furious as soon as he heard that, and turned around to glare at the man.
"You think you can take me?" The man saw that it was a woman and wasn't afraid at all, even arrogantly showing a provocative expression.
"Stone, are you looking for death? Do you even know who she is?" A young man standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and quickly reminded his companion.
Who is she?
"Officer Miao's strength is about the same as Li Dazhu's!"
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, the man exclaimed in surprise, then shrank back, not daring to utter another sound. He had witnessed the duel between Li Dazhu and Battalion Commander Zhang before; although Li Dazhu had lost, he had still displayed considerable skill. Against someone like him who had never learned martial arts, Li Dazhu could easily take on ten of them.
"Hmph!" Officer Miao snorted coldly when he saw that the other party had backed down, and ignored him, turning his head to look at the fight between Wang Bin and Battalion Commander Zhang.
Some might argue that Wang Bin fought Li Dazhu to a standstill when he didn't use his internal energy, while Li Dazhu was defeated by Battalion Commander Zhang. Does that mean Wang Bin was inferior to Battalion Commander Zhang?
The answer is no. Wang Bin and Li Dazhu were evenly matched because Wang Bin did not use internal energy, while Li Dazhu was quite proficient in martial arts. Wang Bin, on the other hand, was not proficient enough in either the Vajra Palm or Tai Chi. That's why they were evenly matched.
If Wang Bin used his internal energy, even using only 50% of it, he could send Li Dazhu flying with a single punch.
The reason why Battalion Commander Zhang was able to defeat Li Dazhu was largely due to his internal strength.
The only thing Wang Bin lacks compared to Battalion Commander Zhang is his proficiency in boxing techniques.
However, as time went on, Wang Bin's fighting talent became apparent. Battalion Commander Zhang noticed that Wang Bin seemed to be getting more and more adept at using boxing techniques, and that he was expending too much energy, making it difficult for him to maintain such a high speed of combat.
The two exchanged more than ten blows when Wang Bin seized an opening in Battalion Commander Zhang's defenses and struck him in the chest with a palm strike.
Battalion Commander Zhang hurriedly tried to block, but he was unprepared and did not use his full strength. He was knocked back several steps by Wang Bin's palm strike.
"Wow!"
When they saw Battalion Commander Zhang being knocked back several steps by Wang Bin, everyone gasped in surprise. They hadn't expected things to develop this way.
When Guan Xiaoyue saw Wang Bin knock Zhang, the battalion commander, back a few steps, she excitedly shouted out.
Abao and Xiaonan, who were standing next to him, also cheered excitedly, shouting their approval for Wang Bin!
Battalion Commander Zhang hadn't expected Wang Bin to be so difficult to deal with. Despite attacking for so long, he had managed to defend flawlessly. However, he wouldn't give up so easily.
Just as he was preparing to attack again, he discovered that Wang Bin had changed his tactics.
Wang Bin made a gesture on his own, drawing a circle with his hands and feet, and then stared at him intently.
