Today has been a surprising one. Milo has been learning martial art since he was still in primary school, it was Karate. After a few years, he finally got his black belt, it was not easy. When he joined the army he felt confident in his hand to hand combat skill.
Most Death Squad soldier, just like Milo had already learned martial arts before they joined the military. Then the academy taught them many different kinds of martial arts; Boxing, Karate and Kung Fu, are the first must know. Learning these techniques will prepare them in handling different opponent.
Then there is a technique called Yong Moo Doo a technique from Korea which is a combination of Judo, Taekwondo, Aikido and other. Also, the Pencak Silat, Indonesia's number one martial art techniques. Both of these techniques were the one that Indonesia's special forces focus on.
Finally, there is a secret martial art technique called Merpati Putih or White Dove technique, previously only passed down in the royalty, this technique could only been trained by a few selected best. These techniques teach the use of the body's inner power which actually knocks onto the hidden door of the Earth Realm.
Milo thought that this is an interesting day for the regiment. The assembly, the 20 perfect bullseye sniping challenge, the crazy record breaking for the stress test by a mysterious guy. And now that guy is actually challenging the Death Squad regiment. He is currently standing there in the center of the field.
"OK, sir I will challenge the guy. Wait, what?! Not me but my whole squad?"
Milo can hear sergeant Mayhem get an order from Captain Donnie.
"OK, my squad let us teach this guy a lesson, let us make him regret messing with our regiment."
Sargent Mayhem then called all 9 squad members, Milo included to move into the center.
Milo thought,
"10 against 1 isn't this an overkill"?
Milo knows how good his unit is.
"All attack!!!"
Sergeant Mayhem ordered.
"WUUUHAAAAA!!!"
It is the soldiers battle cry and all 10 approaches.
Alex needs to take this seriously, these people are the best of the best. Most of them should have reached a Mid-Stage Mortal Realm. If Alex already had the gauge counter from the Doomsday Pillar, he should be able to measure their levels. The Peak Mortal Realm has a maximum of 30 levels. Most adult normal human is averaging between level 10-12. A sportsman or a soldier who trained in routine physical activity should average in level 15, while these Death Squad soldiers who trained their physique rigorously should be between level 17-20. Which reached the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm. Alex at the high stage should be in level 25. He should have about three times their speed, stamina, muscle power. Each of these death squad soldiers won't stand a chance in a one on one duel. But if it is a group attack, then it is a different story. 10 Mid-Stage Mortal Realm against 1 high stage.
Alex stayed calm, he seemed to be in deep concentration, he raised both his arms slowly and created a palm on one hand and a fist on another. Alex also steps one of his feet in a sweeping circular motion to the front. Alex makes some sort of a fighting stance. For a martial artist, this kind of movement gesture is quite normal, there are thousands of different martial art stance.
Two of the closest soldiers make their move, one from the back one from the front.
A straight punch coming from the front,
SHHHUU...
Alex's speed is much faster. Alex easily makes a simple circular hand movement with his right hand, he parries and pulls the opponent closer with his hand and...
BAAMMM...
A knee kick from Alex to the face. The guy was thrown back.
Alex felt a kick coming in from the opponent behind him.
SHHHUU...
Alex makes a simple circular movement with his steps, suddenly he is already on the side of the person behind him. The kick missed.
BAAAMMMM...
An elbow hit the soldier from Alex's right arm.
Both soldiers were thrown back a few meters, they were both down on the floor passed out. Two simple moves, two opponents down. The other eight were startled.
Four soldiers are advancing together from four sides, Milo and sergeant Mayhem are still circling around Alex, waiting for an opening.
Alex returns to his stance. Making another circle sweeping step with his foot, the spectator tries to relate the techniques Alex is using, almost all of them can be considered a martial art expert so they know many techniques.
BAAMMMM...
This time a simple deflecting movement and a direct hit to a soldier face, right in the nose, results in blood pouring out to the ground, the soldier also drops to the ground unconscious.
The other three have a perfect timing this time, they really were experts and they have practiced together many times.
Three directions, two punch, and a kick.
SHUUUUU...
A simple circular movement,
one right step, and then punch...
BAAMMM...
one left step, and then elbow...
BAAMMM...
Alex simply dodges the third attack and pushes the person from behind, the guy loses his balance and falls down.
Alex senses another movement from his back, these special forces really are fast, if Alex does not concentrate he really could get hit.
The person attacking is Sergeant Mayhem. Milo and the other two are also advancing.
Alex actually didn't counter Sergeant Mayhem attacks from behind. Rather, Alex rushes forward this time not using a circular movement but a straight line steps. To the front, one step and Alex is already out of the encirclement. He closes into the soldier in front.
BAMMMMM...
Another one down...
Alex turns around, now he is facing four opponents; The Sergeant, Milo the one who advanced together with him and the one Alex pushed. It's four against one now. Milo was stunned, in just less than 10 seconds, six of his squad members, all special forces were already unconscious on the ground.
Alex makes another circular step. It is a simple movement step, but by now the spectators have realized from the steps what techniques Alex have been using. It is the Bagua stepping techniques, part of the martial art known as the Baguazhang.
Baguazhang is one of the three main Chinese martial arts of the Wudang school, it follows the principal of the 8 trigram symbols used in Taoist cosmology to represent the fundamental principles of reality. These moves are the best choice to use against multiple opponents, as while striking to the opponent's body, the stance would flow to adjust the opponent's movement. Redirecting the opponent's power flow without interval.
Seeing this, the Regent frowns, a squad is not enough to face Alex, he does appear to seem to have some strength. The Regent is not satisfied, he orders captain Donnie to send more people. The captain chooses Lieutenant Rangga a Chinese ethnic Indonesian who is an expert in Kung Fu. Lieutenant Ragga took three squads, 30 soldiers to join the fight.
Aria saw her grandfather order more soldiers to attack Alex, she had mixed feeling seeing this.
Now it is 35 death squad soldiers against one normal-looking middle-aged man. If someone didn't know better, other people would think that this as a group of worker riot ganging up on their boss for not paying their salaries.
The fight continues,
Continuous wave of men is advancing on Alex, but Alex is a High Stage Mortal Realm, he is physically two to three times stronger and faster. He has a better reaction and better stamina plus with an elusive technique, not one man have succeeded in hurting him, they have not even able to touch him. His footwork is really impressive, with just a small step to the left, small step to the right, then a rotation, he manages to dodge and hit each opponent while also finding a way to exit their encirclement.
5 down,
10 down,
15 down...
Milo was both shocked and stirred up by what was happening. His competitive spirit is being aroused. Although he knows that their level is different, looking at such beautiful moves, he wishes to be part of it. Milo founds an opening, he jumps high and does a karate kick...
SHIUUUUU...
Half a meter till impact, he felt delighted that he might become the first soldier to be able to hit this monster.
Alex suddenly sways back, he catches Milo's feet, rotates in a circle and throws him away like throwing garbage.
BRAKKKK... Milo's down...
After a careful study of Alex's moves, Lieutenant Rangga came to a realization and said,
"That is not Baguazhang."
