"Bluze Tyson, the king of physical fitness, was the creator of this martial art? It must be very formidable then. "
"But I have doubts about Bluze Tyson's legend. The earth was divided into different countries three hundred years ago, and resources were extremely scarce. They couldn't even cure cancer or AIDS. How could such a backward society produce someone like him? Yet the official records say that Bluze Tyson reached his peak vitality in 2050, when he was 70 years old. He took a test and hit the maximum level. According to the current standards, he had 9? That's unbelievable. He couldn't have been a humanoid machine, could he?"
"His peak vitality was at 70 years old? People at that age were almost dead back then. I think the official history is exaggerating. They always boast about how amazing the ancients were. But modern people are much better than them in reality."
"People back then had an average vitality of only 0.4-0.5. Now it's 0.7, and we are more than twice as strong as they were. But only the powerful humans in the elite area have a vitality of 9. If I had that much vitality, I wouldn't bother with Star and Space University. I would go straight to the elite area and become a high-ranking human official. That's way better than being the mayor of Star City."
"Stop dreaming! You should be glad if you can reach 0.9 vitality. You would be a leader then."
"Enough talk, let's see what kind of martial art it is."
"C-level gymnastics…Are you deaf?"
"What? Why is it only for Peak? Is Lazy Dragon playing favorites with him?"
"We can't do anything about it…He has a vitality of 0.9. He's the only one in our class of over 400 people. He's also one of the top students in the whole third year of high school, with more than 50 classes and over 20,000 students. The school only cares about those who can get into Star and Space University. The rest are basically discarded."
"…"
Some students muttered under their breath. They felt unfair, but they were powerless. Peak Zane was the "chosen one". He got special treatment everywhere and every time.
Mr Lazy Dragon ignored their words. "If you want to learn my Dragon Claw Grabbing, I don't mind. You can come and watch anytime. But this martial art requires a lot of flexibility in your bones and muscles. You will break your tendons and bones if you try to force it. This is a military martial art and the moves are brutal. It's not part of the curriculum."
"Sir, don't mind them. I will study hard." Peak lifted his head.
He didn't care about the people in the class.
"Watch this!" Mr Lazy Dragon suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed the air with his five fingers.
All the students were stunned.
This arm was not human at all.
It was thick and powerful, with blue veins coiling around it like blue pythons. The muscles were like steel plates attached to the arm. The whole arm looked like a metal machine, not a living flesh and blood.
"Air-moving arms, using the spine as the axis and the muscles of the whole body as the scales, shaking the skin vigorously! The first move, 'Green Dragon Coming out of Water'!" He trembled up and down, his claws moving like the wind, his feet floating as if he was riding on clouds and wind.
"The second move, 'Black Dragon Turning Back'!"
"The third move, 'White Dragon Spitting out Beads'!"
"The fourth move, 'Fire Dragon Starting a Prairie Fire'!"
"The fifth move, 'Cloud Dragon Stretching Claws'!"
"…"
Lazy Dragon showed one move after another. His movements were swift and fierce. His hands kept grabbing, and anyone who met them would be torn apart. Some students felt a chill in their hearts. They knew they would be ripped to pieces if they faced this kind of martial art.
John watched closely. "This martial art requires a lot of flexibility in the bones, tendons and muscles."
He had secretly learned Boneless Jiu-Jitsu, and his knowledge of martial arts was better than many others. He could tell that this Dragon Claw Grabbing was a ruthless fighting technique with fierce attacks. It was even more vicious than Boneless Jiu-Jitsu.
But Boneless Jiu-Jitsu was a type of "Jiu-Jitsu", which emphasized coordination and was less aggressive than "Dragon Claw Grabbing". It was a good foundation. After learning it, he could easily learn any "C-level" body techniques.
With the guidance of "Lazy Dragon", John secretly picked up many methods of energy movement for Dragon Claw Grabbing. With his Boneless Jiu-Jitsu foundation, he quickly mastered the skills and attacks.
He kept it to himself and didn't show anything.
The class was over in an hour.
"Lazy Dragon" taught Peak personally, and in a few hours, Peak learned this brutal "C-level" physical skill. But he was not smooth enough to use it in a real fight.
"Peak, you have good comprehension and physique. Dragon Claw Grabbing is very effective in combat. I suggest you learn Boneless Jiu-Jitsu on your own. It's the basis of all C-level body techniques. Once you learn it, you can learn any C-level body technique by yourself. Also, you need to strengthen your bones and muscles. Eat more super supplements when you go back. Try to get the special 'Star Strengthening Pill' from the army. It's very helpful for your training."
"Star Strengthening Pill, two thousand stars each…" Peak shivered at the name of the pill, but then he smiled: "I will master the C-level body techniques for sure."
"Good! That's it for today's lesson. You can practice on your own." "Lazy Dragon" said casually: "Alright, let's do some one-on-one practice. I want to see how you learned…"
"Dragon Claw Grabbing" involved two people, one grabbing and one resisting, and a series of moves to make a routine.
"John, how are you doing?" Mike and John were partners. They moved back and forth to practice Dragon Claw Grabbing. Mike learned some tricks and routines, but they were not very strong. John was more relaxed.
Of course, there were over 400 people practicing in this place, and no one noticed that John had actually grasped the essence.
"John."
Peak walked over.
"Class leader, what do you want from me?" John looked calm and did not flinch. A month ago, he was scared by the explosive power in Peak's body. But now that he had improved his physical fitness, he felt less pressure from him.
"You still see Lottie in the park? You have some nerve." Peak squinted his eyes. "Don't you listen to me?"
"Who are you?" John retorted. "Why should I listen to you? "
"You!" Peak was almost speechless with anger. His eyes turned cold in a flash. "You are really cocky… Fine, let's have a spar. As the class leader, I will teach you a lesson and improve your skills."
